This attack is slow, and will allow you to get behind him for some free hits. Occasionally, he’ll get on his feet for bit and perform an overhead swing. He’ll appear with a thrusting attack the second he comes back into the fight, and this can deal quite a bit of damage, so make sure to roll out of the way and lock on to him again. He’ll usually teleport behind you, so get ready to roll. When he’s done with his attack string, Lorian will teleport to another location in the room. You’ll want to stay close to him throughout this fight. The slashing arcs are easy to roll through, and if you stay close to his body, he has a tendency to overreach and miss you with his swipes. When the fight begins, Lorian will swing at you with his flaming sword.
Another tip to keep in mind is that you should always have your target lock on at all times. But first things first, this is another fight where you’ll want to ditch your shield and two-hand your weapon. Don’t be fooled Lorian might seem like a pushover at first, but the real fight only begins once you’ve depleted his health bar. However, before you get to fight Lothric himself, you’ll have to face his older brother, Lorian. Finally, you’ll get to face the final Lord of Cinder after a long journey in Dark Souls III.
