If you'd like to watch me do Sekiro, Hollow Knight, and RE4 no hit runs live, come follow me at twitch.tv/spiral_out !
A couple poison procs speed up this fight significantly. It takes 2 full combos (6 emblems each), but often some of the hits will miss. This is fine, though, as you have 4 extra emblems to work with. I like to start the first combo with 10-11 worth of stagger, so the last hit (or second to last if you had 11 hits) will stagger, giving you plenty of time to get off another full combo. I also discovered that poison built up during one phase will carry over into the next, so you can get the deathblow to show up, do a full combo, perform the deathblow, then do another combo second phase to proc (you generally need to do a couple more hits after, since the poison meter seems to deplete a bit during the deathblow).

Reuploading because I slightly tweaked this strat by bleed infusing the rapier, and its even more ridiculously fast. I use the Reduvia for the first 3 melee hits because the rapier will stagger Gideon in each instance and the strat will not quite work the same. This strat works because in the offhand, rapiers hit EXTREMELY quickly, and they have really excellent range. You can stagger Gideon out of literally any move before you can hit you, including his melee moves.")

Not much to say about this one. I got it first try so I wasnt super familiar with the last wave of draugr spawns before Freyas hut, lol.")

This works with a +5 Reduvia, I think if your upgrade level is much higher than that, tho, that he will phase transition after a couple ripostes. Perhaps if you have +9 here the damage would roughly equal out, tho.")
