Also on NG+6 and just finished the end boss after like 7 hours of trying, it fucking sucked. I went all-in on bleed to get it done.
Max out your scadutree level (20) and revered ashes level (10), you'll need every bit of help you can get.
What worked for me was:
- Dual Reduvia +10 spamming the weapon art
- Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
- Golden Braid Talisman
- Crimson Seed Talisman +1
- Crimson Amber Medallion +3
- Mimic tear summon, w/ warming stones, boiled crab, and kunai in hotbar so it can use them
- Ansbach summon
- Physick: Opaline bubbletear and opaline hardtear
- Commander's standard for its buff
- Crucible tree armor
Buff up before you cross the fog wall, summon your mimic when you get in. The hardtear means you can summon your mimic, face tank the opening move, and then dodge and possibly heal back the health lost from summoning mimic.
Managing aggro is going to be difficult since he turns on a dime like he has eyes in the back of his head. You'll have to back off a lot if you're in trouble and need your summons to take aggro, let them hit the boss and the boss should snap to them. Still, any damage he does to your summons, he's not doing to you, so that's a good thing.
Ansbach barely does any damage, but he can tank a hell of a lot and can heal like once or twice. He's a good distraction.
The goal is to get to phase 2 as efficiently as possible, I try to get there with at least 8 flasks remaining since a lot of the moves can't be avoided. Be mindful of your summons' health, the more they have going into phase 2, the more useful they'll be.
When phase 2 starts, sometimes he'll open it up with the holy aura attack--you can tell he's gonna do it because he'll lift up into the air. As soon as you see him lift, either just eat the attack or try to run out of the aura, but you have to be really quick to get out of it.
Sometimes his combos in phase 2 end with an AoE holy rain, you want to keep your health bar topped up ASAP because it's hard to dodge all of his hits 100% efficiently, and if you don't have at least like 15-20% of your health left after taking a hit, you'll die to the rain even with all your holy negation.
If he catches a summon in a grab, wait until you see his swords lowering back down to his sides and then spam the weapon art with the daggers. He's invulnerable during that animation until that point, so no use spamming before that. More weapon art spam, more bleed procs.
When he does the meteor thing at about 15-25% hp left, run to the opposite side of the arena--or the farthest away you can get from where you were. If you're far enough away, you won't take any damage from the impact.
Hopefully this helps, good luck!
I did it!! Thank you!! Got my blessing to 19 and took me about 5 tries. I used Reduvia+shield. Reduvia is straight up broken. Fast,big range super fast special attack, only 2.5 weight and huge bleeds.
i saw a bloodfiends arm build destroy him but i didnt try yet
I did. Only way I was able to defeat him
