Now there's two of them, but at least they're not throwing poop anymore. This attempt turned out pretty messy though, especially in phase 1 where I ended up so close to the Headless Ape at times that its last combo attack went past me instead of getting deflected and staggering it, which would've made for a more organized and shorter fight.
Second phase went okay, though there was a clutch moment when I got put against the wall after Guardian Ape's wife tried jumping on my head. This phase in general seems really chaotic at first, until you notice that they're taking turns when doing longer combos, for example the Ape wife will do a 5 hit combo ending with her jumping and slamming the ground, she does that when Headless Ape starts to scream and in that time the headless one will not attack you 99% of the time.
As for Headless Ape, it will often initiate its combos typical for phase 1, during which you can deflect and if you do it with perfect parries then it'll finish with an overhead combo finisher with massive wind-up. When you parry this one, you'll have time to hit it exactly 3 times and will have to immediatelly deflect/dodge the jumping attack by the other ape (she always does that if the other is staggered after the long combo).
The Headless Ape will also jump in the air from time to time, doing an unblockable swipe attack as it lands. It's a good opportunity to deal some damage, so jump over that unblockable attack, move a bit to the opposite side of ape wife as she'll always try to smack you with her singular attack when she's relatively close, and be prepared to deflect the incoming slam attack after which you'll get your 3 hits in and deflect the attack of the other ape. Rince and repeat until you break headless ape's posture and deliver finishing blow.

Sorry guys, but this one is a bit of a cop-out on my part. I decided to switch to normal ng for this one because of how irritating their phase 2 was to me. The fat priests on ng+7 are constantly spamming force push and healing the main deacon, who has a seriously impressive health bar as it is. I will probably give them a few tries on ng+7 later on, when Ill have some more time, but right now Id rather get to other bosses.
As for my current progress, Im attempting Abyss Watchers and failing pretty badly (that phase 2), theyre still way more enjoyable than deacons though.")
