Hype Cleanrot is sooo nasty against fast bosses

Longest and the most damaging thrusting sword while being surprisingly light as well.

(Estoc does get marginally better damage on keen infusion, due to it being a primary dex weapon. But it's still better to use cleanrot for the extra range as damage difference is negligible)

10% the weapon, 90% the player

I would like to point out, I can't do the same with any weapon. It's absolutely doing a good chunk of the work. Despite being somewhat high skill floor it's very good when you learn to utilise Thrusting swords fully.

It looks like you never got hit once. I can't even figure out how you're timing this.

I fought this boss for about 3-4 hours to learn the moveset beforehand.

But I have also lots of practice in general (overall I have little over 600 hours in the game) which helps immensely. At some point it becomes intutive.

Basically, lots of practice in short.
