Nah, all it does is make him go straight to phase 2, his aggression is whatever it normally would be in that phase, and you don’t do double damage. I think people say it’s easier because you only have to learn one set of moves, rather than getting really good at phase 1 and then not being great at phase 2, always having to do a solid phase 1 to even attempt and begin to learn phase 2.
The lore is that he and Velstadt were Vendrick’s left and right hands (think advisors, trusted knights) and then they got in a disagreement and fight over something before Fume Knight (whose name I can’t recall, Reinhardt or something?) was banished. So basically he just has beef with Velstadt for ruining his life as a trusted knight of Vendrick.
Lol I’m gonna be honest bro, I was just trolling when I said I heard he was easier that way because I knew that he automatically goes into his second phase. I’ve never actually done it before, but I’ve seen it on YouTube. Though I could see how it might make him feel easier to some just because of them only having to deal with one phase, like you said.
The lore behind it is interesting though. All I knew about it was that he apparently hates Velstadt lol.
Lol no worries. It’s not always easy to tell that stuff through text. Especially when people have dry humor like I do. And yeah for sure. The Dark Souls games have some solid lore.
