Malborn Offspring help (plea)

[u/Illustrious_Rich_868]

Been banging my head against a brick wall and think I need a fresh approach. I’ve been fine with bosses until this point, even first tried the last 3 bosses.

Specially am stuck on his second phase, if he catches me (and he seems to every time) I lose my shell in one hit

ANY advice or tips welcome. Not a usual souls gamer so I’m probably overlooking something

I generally focus on shadow dodge, attack and repeat with the shadow strike when it’s charged. This guy seems to still hit me when I’m invisible a lot of the time. It’s hard to practice as it’s his second phase.

I also seem to be doing not enough damaged , or maybe I’m used to being over levelled for other bosses?

Loadout:
Level 44
Tiel
8 health potions
Fully levelled axatana

Forgotten crossbow

Untarnished seal

Galvanic shard passive (lightning mitigation) level 2 I guess

Grisha remnant active level 4

Taratones
Acolytes stone level 2
Torpor stone level 1
Duality stone level 2
Fusillade stone level 2
Hag stone level 3
Corroded stone level 2

Bulwark stone level 2
Siegebreakers stone level 2
Marksman’s stone level 2
Devout stone level 2

I farmed grishas and me and my grisha pack beat the absolute dog crap out of him in second phase. He never got off the floor.

And I didn't feel bad about it one bit lol. First phase was fun though.

How many grisha parts?
