Seath The Scaleless | How to kill a boss Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Description

A gigantic crystal dragon, without scales. You encounter him in the game twice - during your first "meeting" you have to die because the beast is invincible. During the second approach however, you'll get to his private residence and his source of power: a special crystal.

Attacks and weaknesses

He is vulnerable to fire- and lightning-based weapons. The dragon has following attacks:

1) Curse breath - Seath breaths with a special attack which causes crystals come from the ground. What's worse, they can infect the player with a curse. These breaths come in few types.

2) Tail attacks - Seath can hit you with his tails, which can be blocked with a good shield.

3) Arm swipe - sometimes the beast bends down to attack you with his arm.

4) Area attack - an explosion dealing huge damage, activated when you are close to the beast's middle. You have to jump backwards several times.

Tips

1) Destroy the crystal - always start the fight with destroying the mentioned crystal, which heals the beast:

2) Equip some stuff against the curse - a Cursebite ring or an armor set with some defense against the curse really saves you in this fight.

3) Keep at his side - it is best to attack his side tails and not stand in front of the dragon.

4) Destroy dragon's back tail - when you destroy dragon's back tail, you'll obtain Moonlight Greatsword.

Tactics

After beginning of the fight, always destroy this crystal:

Then run towards Seath and hit his side. It is best to stay next to the end of one of his side tails. [1] Repeat these actions while circling around the beast. The aiming system is not good at this moment, so you should better use your intuition. [2]

Sound simple, doesn't it? If you stay at the left tail of the beast, you'll probably get no damage - the only threat is attack with tails, but fortunately it is rarely use.
