Elden Ring Boss Fight: Killing The Watchdog With The Greatsword Trap
This build challenge gains attention after recent patch updates and community streams. Players refine tactics for one specific encounter within Limgrave.
Elden Ring Boss Fight: Killing The Watchdog With The Greatside Trap is an aggressive setup using a mounted greatsword to stagger the hound. Studies indicate positioning the weapon creates reliable opening frames. This setup turns a fast enemy into a predictable target.
How The Setup Works
You bait the Watchdog into lunging at a placed greatsword. Research suggests the collision triggers hitstop, leaving the beast open. Quick heavy attacks then punish recovery before it resets.
Another angle involves ranged tools to stagger the beast first. This ensures the sword lands even if the timing feels tight. Consistent spacing keeps you safe from grab attacks.
Simple Takeaway
Force the enemy forward; the terrain and weapon do the rest.
Q&A
Q: Which weapon types work best for this trap setup? Greatswords or ultra greatswords with high stability perform reliably.
