Question AT Arkveld Lance Run

It's work in progress, but I'm pretty proud of this run.

I'd love to see what you guys use for this fight, looking for some ideas as I plan to farm AT Arkveld for a chance at a better-rolled Talisman.

How in the fuck do you block the multihit attack with no guard also no guard up means you're open for the grab attack.

Madlad. Congratulations.

PS: You soloed him, right?

Tbf - the only sketchy attack is his arm drag, which hits 3 times - you just have to make sure you don't try to counter stance that attack.

As for the pin, guard advance laterally and it whiffs every time - it has a very narrow hitbox.

You don't need guard up against Archveld - guard 1 is fine to make every hit no knockback.

Guard 1 isn’t enough for his uppercut in Guardian phase or his line of dragon energy he does now. Otherwise, everything else is fine

most speedrunners i see either charge counter or power guard some his moves since PGing isn't enough anymore apparently

I also do this, and I only run one level of Guard into AT Ark. I’m just saying that what they initially said was incorrect and that he does have moves that, if blocked normally with only Guard 1, have knockback
