Dark Souls 2: Old Iron King How to defeat a boss

Old Iron King

The Old Iron King is the second one from the grand four bosses you must defeat in the game. His element is fire and the fight takes place in this scenery, which is why you should be extra careful of your steps. The King is a rather slow foe, but his attacks have a long reach - it's advised to equip yourself with some fire protection in advance.

Attacks:

• Fist Attack - the enemy smashes his fist into the ground.
• Double Fist Attack - the enemy smashes both of his fists into the ground.
• Fire Beam - the enemy fires a beam of fire, similar to a laser.
• Torrent of Fire - the boss breathes a stream of fire. It's a stationary attack.
• Fire Breath - the boss twists his head and generates a stream of fire over a wider area.

Tactics:

First things first, try to set the enemy in a convenient way. Before the King emerges from the lava, hide behind the building you just came from. After a few moments and a couple of fruitless attacks, the boss will submerge in the lava again. Position yourself on the "coast" near the building - this way the King will emerge in this area, giving you a lot of breathing room. Attack only after the enemy - for instance, when the enemy starts his fire beam attack and his hand is stationary. Run straight to him, hit him once and retreat immediately. Use this tactic during the whole fight and you shouldn't have any problems defeating him.

Victory!
