I haven't tried it, but it looks like a crossbow would be really effective in this fight because you can use it with a shield, even though it's damage isn't too great.
@Zaccarato At least Gwyn you can parry-riposte. Allant just effs you up unless you have things like Total Protection, Second Chance, or other buffers.
One would think that he could heal himself with the energy it takes to become a nuke every two minutes. I know, I know...gotta make it beatable for the nooblets.
i beat this game..... with a high int mage, talk about rolls and second chances he would kill me in two hits..... lol i didnt know about total protection.... and i perfected the rolls against his combo strategy after dieing at least 20 times but i did beat it
its easy to kill false king alllant if you use magic because very strong meele will be useless magic kills him very fast just as he is the first boss , for example peopole kill him by using flame storm that will do some good ! HE is EXTRA effective
I don't know what is it is but the bosses with the reputation of being the hardest are relatively easy IMO (Flamelurker, Maneater, Old King Allant) and the easier bosses i find the hardest (for example Dirty Colossus).
I equipped the thief's ring and kept my distance. Every time he does the rushing attack i rolled away at the last moment and stabbed him once, saving stamina to roll away immediately. It took me 3 tries and 10 minutes in the final attempt and it was epic!
@LoekSijbers I stumbled upon a weird glitch with Flamelurker (he got caught on some debris by the exit fog gate) where I just shot arrows till he died. Maneater came as a surprise (I didn't know I was walking right into a boss fight, happened again with Leechmonger) but he was really easy. Just roll and hack at his tail. Dirty Colossus is also really easy. Using my dragon LS I just charged right away, got behind him and when he attacked rolled to stay behind him. Demon's Souls isn't THAT hard.
@LoekSijbers Dirty colossus dies in 3 seconds with a desent weapong and a black turpentine. Old king is actually an easy fight if you are agresive in my opinion, i didnt even block against him. In my opinion flamelurker is the hardest fight because he is really agresive and has alot of hp, still purple dragon shield (or whatever its called) and its an easy fight, but still the hardest in the game.
i miss you RE4Freak :( at least we have EpicNameBro for dark souls but you saved my ass a lotta times in DeS. hope life is good and thanks as always for getting me through this amazing game :)
The king kinda reminds me of devil may cry 4 that dude who is the brother of that chick and he captain of the white knights but fights like virgil...... lol
If you have good magic and firestorm then this boss is no biggie... On my first playthrough I had 32-34 magic stat + Talisman of Beasts and killed him in one cast...
Now I'm working through the game NG+ and it's definately harder this time ;D Maybe I'll try to kill him a different way this time :D
I feel your pain uploader, I didn't have crazy stats or weapons. The fight took so long and he removed so many of my soul levels I couldn't even roll out of the way. Had to remove my amour to even fight him. Satisfying as hell when he went down. :)
I've beat all bosses the first time except for Flamelurker, Adjudicator (lol) and Maiden Astraea. But those 3 took me 2 attempts (3 for the Adjudicator). Not that bad. I guess i'm a decent gamer.
its a good thing i didint go all the way back to get warding out. it wouldnt have helped me. do this with 9 vitality, and a physical defense of 160. welcome to demons souls. i had no shield, dual wielded insanity catalyst, and kris blade +5 (did around 14k damage if all my homing soul arrows hit (26 magic)). ONE hit. any attack. this was hell for me, but i only needed 3 casts of homing soul arrow to kill him. even then. not getting hit by this guy is a pain.
Limiting health and mana items isn't making Dark Souls as fundamentally "harder" as some of you are claiming. This game was all about managing stamina memorizing enemy attack patterns, and I'm getting that sense from what I'm seeing of it's successor.
Outside of health-gorging and pvp, health items/heavy defense are usually useless when a boss can tear down 75-85% of your health in a single hit. Being able to avoid the hit altogether is more important.
After I take away 1/4 of his life he goes hulk on me and starts spamming his blade move that goes through the air. If i survive than he starts lunging at me and slashing like a crazy person.
The first time I played this part, I didn't die, I beated this boss in like 5 minutes... but the second time was horrible, I tried it with friends online like 10 times and they and me died all times, It was damn impossible. When I finally could defeat him, it took me 56 minutes.

to all those fans are cheap tactis like Death/Poison Cloud I'm proud to tell you that in the next game, that is not gonna work, you will need skill like everyone else to beat Dark Souls, no more infinite magic via Old Spices/fresh Spices for you ;) just a fixed number of uses each time, let's see if you can still beat the game that way ;)
well, truth be told, if demon's souls had employed the same gameplay mechanism that's used in dark souls, video poster wouldn't stand a chance at all, cuz his healing flasks would be hard-capped... and the majority of the melee fighters woudn't make it pass this stage either... Irregardless of what tactics u use (legitimate or cheesing) , darks souls is much more tougher.
@melvinthedeathless well Dark Soul is tougher yeah, but I suppose they take into account the limited healing flask when they design it (they can't expect to evade EVERY single attack to keep all the flask for the boss) but I was only talking about those saying'' hey this boss is easy, just put thief ring bring lik 600 arrows and don't move when you enter shoot his head and voila... video poster actually beat him legitimelly and that fine...
@Warriorkiller666 i welcome the embrace of an even harder magical system. I know nothing about the game, so how does magic work? i doubt its X uses per playthrough, like you make it out to seem. will the visit to the nexus, or whatever dark souls has, replenish your uses? Also, at least i cant use the same swing my sword tactic on EVERY enemy. my knight friend breezes through the game. i can one shot most things, but i can also BE one shotted by most things. 9 vitality 160 physical def.
Do you see King Allant wicked-ass moves?? When leveling up, I don't want just my health, magic, & stamina bars to widen, I want to be able to fight like that motherfucker. I mean, the wind blast, growl, levitation, fast glide, air wings an' all. Dark Souls should give us, at least, that.
after dying 15-20 times on him with my heavy armor I took your advice and threw on light gear. Killed him on first attempt with it, thanks a ton RE4, you're the best.
I just fought this guy today. One important thing to note is NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHAIN A COMBO IN FRONT OF HIM. There is a huge chance that he will do a counter attack that will drain one soul level from you forever, and even possibly kill you with a low vitality build. I lost 2 soul levels in my fight with him because of that. Just hit him once or twice then roll away as fast as you can, you should be safe.
want a way to kill this guy without having to move once (literally) and take NO damage?!?! well then i'll tell you. get a Sticky Comp Long +5 (farm spider stone if you have to) and 750 heavy arrows (took me about 150 to kill him but giving your probably guna miss a bunch of times) and as soon as you enter the fog DONT MOVE!!! his health bar wont come up on the bottom and he wont attack. aim for his head and shoot away. once you find a place where it hits DO|NT MOVE YOUR AIM!! took me 1.5 min >_>
When you fight this boss, stay really far from him. Just wait till he charges at you, dodge it, and star landing blows. When your out of stamina, go to the other end of the stage , and repeat. It should be pretty easy from there. Make sure to wear light armor and use warding just in case you get hit.
Remember when you barely beat king allant then stock up on 300 arrows and incredibly strong armor to FACE a magicarp seriously i consider false king allant to be the real final boss.
Remember, when he uses that fucking soul-suck thingy (when he raises his hand, it starts glowing, and he grabs after you) he STEALS one soul level from you! He steal a random stat and a level from you, so AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Luckily, his attacks are very predictable, and easily dodged, like with the Penetrator.
oh you forgot his bad fucking frustrating soulsucker attack in your description ^^ first time i fought him he used it 3 times on me <_< still havent beat him ^^ but maaaan he first farmed me just to finally kill me ..... pretty charming isn't it ?
@muscoMOBx563 You'll be yelling and smashing controllers a lot. Though its harder during the beginning when you're still trying to figure out everything.
@muscoMOBx563 depends on ur tolerance for bullshit in a video game. lol. i just beat this boss AND the game earlier today. its relatively difficult until u learn strategies, then its just a small challenege. overall 8.5-9/10
the shit thing is, when he kills u, u must do all the way to him again. I hate this, because sometimes i die on my way to him ;). I Havn't defeatet him yet, so i should try again^^ Because he is pretty easy when u know what to do^^
That's right :-) He isn't too hard, you just have to be extremely careful and be absolutely passive. Only attack after being attacked by him, that's how I defeated him. I beat him 3 times until now (NG+++).
But what I don't understand: Why does everybody keep rolling away when he prepares his "bomb" or "explosion"? Just look after your stamina, run to him, attack and immediately roll away. Like this you get him down pretty easily :-)
the first time, as he prepared his bomb, i was a few steps away and i thought: "What is he doing right now, lets watch that", and the explosion rolled over me ;). Yeah, everbody runs away when he prepares the bomb, just attack him^^. NG+++? OMG^^ Maneater was the shittiest thing, until now the King^^
Believe me, it's only getting harder, but I think Old King Allant is the hardest enemy so far, followed by the maneaters. But they are only so f***ing hard because you don't have too much space to dodge.
If you finish DS for the first time, you start in New Game+, all the enemies are now 40% harder and every following NG (+, ++, +++,etc) +8%.
But don't forget: If you finish make the end game and you restart on NG+ you cannot spend your souls. You first must defeat Phalanx again ^^
I had almost the same strategy, light armor, roll evade constantly, spear. The only thing I did differently was when he's doing the downward sword/outward blast thing, you can interrupt this before he thrusts downward. Hit him with a strong attack here and roll back immediately.
finally I beat his ass, soul level 72, second chance, winged spear+8, dark silver shield+2, 23 full moon grass, great strength ring and saint robe for high mobility(Soldier class)
the only tip I can come up with (for soldier/knight classes)is that you MUST equip light "armor"(chest) and herculean ring . I even didn´t used total protection, since i spend all the first bosses souls on upgrades :p (I didn´t know that you could buy abilities with them.)
@gomezgomas I would recommend the Eternal Warrior's Ring. But then again, i relied on my rolling skills to get through this guy. His soulsucker attack made me cry. I was at level 82 :(
The explosion attack in which he takes an hour to channel leaves him vulnerable - it can be interrupted, so if you're close enough at the beginning of his channeling, you can get some extra hits in.
Here's a tip for everyone: If he soulsucks you, and you need to gain soul levels quick, get the sword of storms and go to the Stormking's archstone. Kill all of the storm beasts there (which should be easy with the sword of storms). After doing that 2-3 times you should have enough souls to level up.
Just beat his ass, level 86, Dragon Bone Sword + 3, Dark Silver Shield + 5 and leather armour, dodge attack then swing then retreat, leave a gap of about 20 ft so hes more likely to do the Explosion, then run in, one smack then get back, easy. It was actually easy and I've been dying loads on this guy.
Got this fuckers health down to a minuscule amount and then just as I think I have him beaten he catches me with his area effect attack... One hit, dead. SHIT! That was my 4th time trying to beat him so I just said fuck it and used the poison cloud and thief ring strategy. Just started NG+ and i'm going to melee the shit out of him this time!
Sure...you want helped as in: guide to kill him or co-op/blue phantom thing? I wish I can show you how to kill him straight up with just a sword/shield/soul level <100 and no magic, but i dont have those hd recorder thingy.
Youre good...you killed him head on without using cheap tactics like poison cloud.
His weakness is his attack pattern. He's easy to read. Just bring lots of healing items and learn how to dodge.
Surprisingly I killed him my first try!!! My soul level was 95. I used Magic Sword Makoto (no upgrade) with regeneration ring and light armor. I used no magic.
Old King Doran is the hardest boss in the game -____-"
@MrJohnnnyboy34 you're lucky, first time I went to fight him I was Soul Lvl 91 and when he did kill me I was soul lvl 81... I retried and when I stopped trying to fight him I was 77... the thing is at first I stayed close to him and when he did SoulSucker I tried to block it but blocking dosen't work, so he Soulsuck me anyway, after immidiatly after I get bac up I took a healing item because I was nearly dead and then he soulsuck me again right after the healing finish before I coulld move..
LOL that sucks losing that much soul level...but to be honest, the magic sword makoto help me out since it was very long/very fast. I was able to dodge his soulsucker everytime lol.
I also had pure black character tendency (lowered health)...I was a moron and killed all the vendors/NPCs to get the foe's ring...forgot I had the blue dragon/false king left!!! I thought I screwed myself LOL
@MrJohnnnyboy34 at first I came wearing Bruswood but after a couple of SoulSucks ( he stoled only End and Str the only stats i really cared about XD) I didn't have the equip burden to wear it so I couldn't even roll or run, that almost cost me my life I just had the time to take everything off before he was on me again XD good luck with the platinum ;) do you have a Pure Bladestone?
LOL Biorr's armor looks awesome (the strongest armor), but yea its too heavy. Try Garl Vinland's armor/shield...the second best armor...and it looks really cool!!! And no I dont have pure bladestone (havent farmed for stones yet). But I heard it was the rarest/hardest stone to get -______-
How does it take you 8 mins? Use a dragon Mirdan Hammer + 5, two-handed; roll and hit 2 to 3 times then roll away, if he can't kill you in one hit or one combo then it's safe to spam grasses. Any way good luck
This guy was a bitch to take down. Of all the bosses he demanded the most precise timing with rolls and attacks. Soulsucked me twice on my first attempt and de-levelled my endurance so I couldn't roll properly any more. Do NOT get greedy with your attacks. Hit him once or twice at the most with your weapon and GTFO of melee range until it's safe to do it again. I returned with a Great Axe and some turpentine and got lucky with a few knockdowns.
Does anybody else wish they could use souls for something else? Like as abilites? If anybody has ever played castlevania dawn of sorrow, think of the soul system in that.
Do you recommend me using warding and firestorm or firestorm and soul ray? im stuck on killing False King Allant for the second time, could someone help
This fucking old man just taught me a lesson. 5 times. And he stole my souls, fuck him i have to find a way to kill him but he keeps killing me with his combo which i can't dodge even if i roll. How do i beat him! how do i beat him! gahhh!!!
@ansiiis It's extremely hard, but do-able. And besides, "so hard, it's not fun anymore"? That's crap. If anything, the difficulty makes it more enjoyable!
@ansiiis You can win, you just need skill and patience. It's a different kind of difficult. It's not unfair or cheap. If you die, it was because YOU were careless, not because the AI was unfair. Trust me, it stays fun.
@TheAngelsDecay Get your character and world tendency to pure white. Then equip an armour set, so that you've use up to a MAXIMUM of half of your equip burden, but no more! - this allows for optimum mobility. Use a catalyst and Soul Ray (no close-quarters for you). You need to counter this guy. Roll out of the way of his shots, and counter with a Soul Ray. If you see him charging up, RUN away from him and once he's done, resume fighting. Make sure the ONLY two items you equip are grass and spice
@LightningDonkey I already killed him, by summoning a Blue Phantom. Buuuuutttt, I'm gonna do it again on like new game 7-8 or something so I'll try this, it sounds legit! Thank you!
I just beat him at lvl 58 with the Meat Cleaver and some Sticky White Stuff without any magic. I unequiped everything I had except for my Sword and armor in order to dodge his attacks more easily. My highest stats were: 20 vit, 20 endurance, 28 str. You only need to learn where to dodge and hit him back once then roll away. It's easy. I did need 5 tries to learn his paterns tho.
I recommend to who uses weak weapon an kilij, upgrade it and an steel shield or the purple flame shield, a light armor.
when the false king does that light in his sword to make his blow you just hit him, he will cancel the attack.
level up on 5-3 in that storm king place, use the sword storm ruler, you will farm souls easily here

4-Wait until he is turned back
5-Walk slowly to get in the range of the poison cloud
6-Cast it and when it wears off cast an other
RESULT: You will see his life bar drain little by little (It takes about 5 mins to kill him)
PS. I had the time to make Kraft Dinner during the draining

I lost 2 soul levels in my fight with him because of that. Just hit him once or twice then roll away as fast as you can, you should be safe.

want a way to kill this guy without having to move once (literally) and take NO damage?!?! well then i'll tell you. get a Sticky Comp Long +5 (farm spider stone if you have to) and 750 heavy arrows (took me about 150 to kill him but giving your probably guna miss a bunch of times) and as soon as you enter the fog DONT MOVE!!! his health bar wont come up on the bottom and he wont attack. aim for his head and shoot away. once you find a place where it hits DO|NT MOVE YOUR AIM!! took me 1.5 min >_>

When you fight this boss, stay really far from him. Just wait till he charges at you, dodge it, and star landing blows. When your out of stamina, go to the other end of the stage , and repeat. It should be pretty easy from there. Make sure to wear light armor and use warding just in case you get hit.

Remember when you barely beat king allant then stock up on 300 arrows and incredibly strong armor to FACE a magicarp seriously i consider false king allant to be the real final boss.
darkstalker117 6 months ago
Remember, when he uses that fucking soul-suck thingy (when he raises his hand, it starts glowing, and he grabs after you) he STEALS one soul level from you! He steal a random stat and a level from you, so AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Luckily, his attacks are very predictable, and easily dodged, like with the Penetrator.

TechnoExtrem 7 months ago
@TechnoExtrem
That's right :-) He isn't too hard, you just have to be extremely careful and be absolutely passive. Only attack after being attacked by him, that's how I defeated him. I beat him 3 times until now (NG+++).
But what I don't understand: Why does everybody keep rolling away when he prepares his "bomb" or "explosion"? Just look after your stamina, run to him, attack and immediately roll away. Like this you get him down pretty easily :-)
mischa1981 6 months ago
@mischa1981
the first time, as he prepared his bomb, i was a few steps away and i thought: "What is he doing right now, lets watch that", and the explosion rolled over me ;). Yeah, everbody runs away when he prepares the bomb, just attack him^^. NG+++? OMG^^ Maneater was the shittiest thing, until now the King^^
TechnoExtrem 6 months ago
@TechnoExtrem
Believe me, it's only getting harder, but I think Old King Allant is the hardest enemy so far, followed by the maneaters. But they are only so f***ing hard because you don't have too much space to dodge.
If you finish DS for the first time, you start in New Game+, all the enemies are now 40% harder and every following NG (+, ++, +++,etc) +8%.
But don't forget: If you finish make the end game and you restart on NG+ you cannot spend your souls. You first must defeat Phalanx again ^^

ZerohMetal 7 months ago
I had almost the same strategy, light armor, roll evade constantly, spear. The only thing I did differently was when he's doing the downward sword/outward blast thing, you can interrupt this before he thrusts downward. Hit him with a strong attack here and roll back immediately.

DevilGamingTV 7 months ago
finally I beat his ass, soul level 72, second chance, winged spear+8, dark silver shield+2, 23 full moon grass, great strength ring and saint robe for high mobility(Soldier class)
the only tip I can come up with (for soldier/knight classes)is that you MUST equip light "armor"(chest) and herculean ring . I even didn´t used total protection, since i spend all the first bosses souls on upgrades :p (I didn´t know that you could buy abilities with them.)
gomezgomas 7 months ago
@gomezgomas I would recommend the Eternal Warrior's Ring. But then again, i relied on my rolling skills to get through this guy. His soulsucker attack made me cry. I was at level 82 :(
gluesniff3r 7 months ago
The explosion attack in which he takes an hour to channel leaves him vulnerable - it can be interrupted, so if you're close enough at the beginning of his channeling, you can get some extra hits in.

Here's a tip for everyone: If he soulsucks you, and you need to gain soul levels quick, get the sword of storms and go to the Stormking's archstone. Kill all of the storm beasts there (which should be easy with the sword of storms). After doing that 2-3 times you should have enough souls to level up.
ChristianGonzo97 8 months ago
Just beat his ass, level 86, Dragon Bone Sword + 3, Dark Silver Shield + 5 and leather armour, dodge attack then swing then retreat, leave a gap of about 20 ft so hes more likely to do the Explosion, then run in, one smack then get back, easy. It was actually easy and I've been dying loads on this guy.

Got this fuckers health down to a minuscule amount and then just as I think I have him beaten he catches me with his area effect attack... One hit, dead. SHIT! That was my 4th time trying to beat him so I just said fuck it and used the poison cloud and thief ring strategy. Just started NG+ and i'm going to melee the shit out of him this time!

What soul level were you and what were ur stats?
indestruct1bl3 8 months ago
Youre good...you killed him head on without using cheap tactics like poison cloud.
His weakness is his attack pattern. He's easy to read. Just bring lots of healing items and learn how to dodge.
Surprisingly I killed him my first try!!! My soul level was 95. I used Magic Sword Makoto (no upgrade) with regeneration ring and light armor. I used no magic.
Old King Doran is the hardest boss in the game -____-"
MrJohnnnyboy34 8 months ago
@MrJohnnnyboy34 you're lucky, first time I went to fight him I was Soul Lvl 91 and when he did kill me I was soul lvl 81... I retried and when I stopped trying to fight him I was 77... the thing is at first I stayed close to him and when he did SoulSucker I tried to block it but blocking dosen't work, so he Soulsuck me anyway, after immidiatly after I get bac up I took a healing item because I was nearly dead and then he soulsuck me again right after the healing finish before I coulld move..
Warriorkiller666 8 months ago
@Warriorkiller666
LOL that sucks losing that much soul level...but to be honest, the magic sword makoto help me out since it was very long/very fast. I was able to dodge his soulsucker everytime lol.
I also had pure black character tendency (lowered health)...I was a moron and killed all the vendors/NPCs to get the foe's ring...forgot I had the blue dragon/false king left!!! I thought I screwed myself LOL

@MrJohnnnyboy34 at first I came wearing Bruswood but after a couple of SoulSucks ( he stoled only End and Str the only stats i really cared about XD) I didn't have the equip burden to wear it so I couldn't even roll or run, that almost cost me my life I just had the time to take everything off before he was on me again XD good luck with the platinum ;) do you have a Pure Bladestone?
Warriorkiller666 8 months ago
@Warriorkiller666
LOL Biorr's armor looks awesome (the strongest armor), but yea its too heavy. Try Garl Vinland's armor/shield...the second best armor...and it looks really cool!!! And no I dont have pure bladestone (havent farmed for stones yet). But I heard it was the rarest/hardest stone to get -______-

How does it take you 8 mins? Use a dragon Mirdan Hammer + 5, two-handed; roll and hit 2 to 3 times then roll away, if he can't kill you in one hit or one combo then it's safe to spam grasses. Any way good luck

BeardedPriest 9 months ago
This guy was a bitch to take down. Of all the bosses he demanded the most precise timing with rolls and attacks. Soulsucked me twice on my first attempt and de-levelled my endurance so I couldn't roll properly any more. Do NOT get greedy with your attacks. Hit him once or twice at the most with your weapon and GTFO of melee range until it's safe to do it again. I returned with a Great Axe and some turpentine and got lucky with a few knockdowns.

@TheAngelsDecay Just summon a blue phantom. That's what I did when this bastard stole 3 of my soul levels lol.
WAI2MACHINE 10 months ago
@TheAngelsDecay Get your character and world tendency to pure white. Then equip an armour set, so that you've use up to a MAXIMUM of half of your equip burden, but no more! - this allows for optimum mobility. Use a catalyst and Soul Ray (no close-quarters for you). You need to counter this guy. Roll out of the way of his shots, and counter with a Soul Ray. If you see him charging up, RUN away from him and once he's done, resume fighting. Make sure the ONLY two items you equip are grass and spice

I just beat him at lvl 58 with the Meat Cleaver and some Sticky White Stuff without any magic. I unequiped everything I had except for my Sword and armor in order to dodge his attacks more easily. My highest stats were: 20 vit, 20 endurance, 28 str. You only need to learn where to dodge and hit him back once then roll away. It's easy. I did need 5 tries to learn his paterns tho.
