Hello, I want to know how many others have managed to solo this boss after they changed it so that it kills you in 1 hit with the hook pull and ask for advice on how I can do this better. I’m sure it will help others that would like to beat this boss without cheating too.
Ok so first, I know that there is a way to 100% of the time go OOC and have the barriers all reappear without the boss resettting (also to make all the clones die instantly) but it feels wrong to do that. I also know there are several ways to safespot this boss but F that.

This is my best solo attempt so far (8:51 solo kill). I have killed this boss before, but I did this first try in my solo run last night and I actually managed to survive in that crappy spot that I ran to after the last barrier disappeared.
Some questions I have to ask…
What the heck am I doing wrong for Alphard to have that much hp left by the time last barrier is gone? I have to be dealing awful damage I take it. I learned how to do this from watching two videos from both Goku Kr and Luca rT and while they do seem to do a much better job, I still don’t understand where exactly I slipped so badly. Was it the last barrier? I did kind of camp axe a little there but I think it was because LOSing on that barrier was a little awkward and tougher to use GS on.
Also, when I moved to spot I used last… I HATE that spot. I really do. I was shown and told that it works a while ago so I basically use it as a last resort, because it seems to be so hard to LOS properly with it and to deal a good amount of damage. The only thing that is nice about it is that nearly every daggerstorm, you go OOC and heal up.
By the way I was using these traits:
30 (V IX XI)
25 (I X)
0
0
15 (VI)
I normally always use Arms II for this because it’s tough as hell to LOS this boss (he/she moves so fast!!) so perma-swiftness is helpful, but I guess I forgot to this time. Worked out anyways.
Any tips would be great because I am normally pretty crappy with this boss and it’s still tough to solo. Last time it took me over 2 hours
