In regards of cutting kalameet's tail, it depends on the weapon you use for it. From perdonal experience, black knight glaive can sever it's tail in less than 5 minutes. Should be easier with other polearms or ultra gs with vertical strikes.

As for the special attack, kalameet dealt physical and magic instead of fire. If this flame were exactly the same, great/crystal magic weapon would be nuts to boost the AoE's inherent damage.

Not really too difficult to obtain, did it at my second attempt after learning about its existence (I was killed at least 8 times before trying to simply defeating him). Using Gravelord Sword It took me 3 swipes in diferent moments. You just have to be very pacient in this combat, and when he does his glide charge attack make sure to place you behind him. He would use his tail stomp, get the timing right to dodge it and you will have like a 3 seconds window to slam his tail (just 1 hit allowed I think). With Gravelord sword it took me 3 hits to cut it, then I killed him. Really satisfying and challenging boss.

I try cutting his tail by both using Wrath of the gods and Grants heavy attack.

After 5 straight hours, probably over 100 attempts I gave up on getting this mfrs tail. I'm not the guy who wants the Knights Honour achivement, I just want it for the use of owing it but this boss is probably the worst in the game. I'll take Seath over this ******* any day of the week. F*uck this boss honestly

Submit

Cutting the tail - 20 flasks. Killing kalameet - 1/3 of HP bar. I would much prefer if getting tail was easier and boss itself was harder. On top of that obsidian tail is most useful for twinks which is a problem by iteslf.

It's a great weapon for sorcerers, but also one of the hardest to get for sorcerers. Good luck freeaiming those crystal soul spears my friends

Getting his tail is the ultimate test of patience. I managed to get it and kill him in same try. This fight took like 10 minutes. It took me like 10 or 15 tries to learn his patterns well and after that it was fairly "easy". U need to bait him to do his fly and rush you kind of attack by staying in mid distance from him, roll left, then when he passes you you roll right and then he slams his tail to the ground. U can then hit it once with zweihänder r2, takes 2 hits with zwei+15.

Not worth the trouble to get it.

i like how the comments are less about the weapon and more about actually getting it

Submit

Best Faith Weapon in the game change my mind [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡ಠ_ಠ)̲̅$̲̅]

Submit

I have said this before, but it gets buried under garbage. Use the twin eagle great shield to tank under his tail until you get it. Easy.

Submit

Unless you are using a Scythe, you have to get pretty creative to get this

Submit

This is a great weapon for int or faith builds, it doesn't scale with anythings, only need 14 Str to 2H (that you probably already have for MLS) and has a huge base damage and can be buffed with Crystal weapon or Sunlight blade for about ~950 AR, its base damage does more damage than MLS on most enemies. The only problem is that you get it only in very later game and is a pain to get it.

Submit

I got the effing sword!! F** That motherf***!!

Submit

Solo, I find the easiest way to get this is to fight with your BACK to a wall. Keep dodging his attacks and wait for his lunging flame sweep attack. Since you next to the wall he won't go very far giving you TONS of time to go around and hit his tail. The breath part of this attack is also ridiculously easy to dodge at close range. This method is much more consistent. In 3 days of fighting him I only got him to do the tail slam once.

Submit

i find so fricking cool that none of the dragon weapons scales with anything

Soo much hate for mh in the comments , the past mh games were definitely on par if not more difficult than souls series not including sekiro but 5th gen mh are easy af compared to souls' but then there is ds3 where you can roll for days

Submit

the god given right of invasion

Submit

Artorias? You get the sword after Artorias so that means new game plus...

Submit

Hitting the tail after the tail attack is the most long way... You can just hit it when he uses the red energy grab or the flame spit in the same position of the grab. They are not rare attacks, you can gust stand in front of him and wait for him to stand up on the posterior legs and rush to the tail.

easy ng+ cut

Thank god the demons greataxe cut off his tail in one hit I don’t find kalameet to really be that hard personally but I died so many times sprinting around his backside to get to his tail before losing track of him as the camera got stuck in his gut

“Give to frampt to receive 100 souls.”

Frampt is just as petty as GameStop

Submit

After dying countless times trying to even get a shot at this bastards tail, I finally realized that it was futile and decided just to kill him so It would stop me from the madness! NO MORE DOGS!!! I attuned power within, put on my sorcery ring and that sorcery wing head dress thingy and went to town, he did his flyover and one of my crystal soul masses mysteriously hit his tail in flight and I got it! Now after 1500 hours of game play over 2 years on 2 platforms I *think* their is nothing else I to discover or accomplish in this game, but who knows. Goodluck!

Submit

I was so excited when i finally cut that ****er's tail off, and then i noticed it had no scaling.... thank you dark souls

Submit

Testing taking a hit from the same attack while stationary with and without the weapon equipped. It seems like I take more damage with it equipped.

Submit

"Give to Frampt to receive 100 souls."

Lol as if.

Submit

How good is this thing in endgame? I’m reading a lot of good things about it, and I’m very curious indeed.

Submit

Barely atack with her. It's very slow. I equip that ring on height and nothing.

Submit

"Give to Frampt for 100 souls" No. I don't think I will.

Submit

Black knight halberd is recommended to cut the tail and get this weapon.

Submit

LMAO am I the only who cut all the monsters tail in there first walkthrough? Including this.. well, as a Monster Hunter World veteran cutting monster tails is to basic asf

Submit

Pretty sure trying to chop his tail off solo as a heavy melee gave me diabetes. Succeeded but just ouch.

Submit

Does this work with any pine resin?

Submit

gg accidentally killed him before cutting the tail

Submit

"Obsidian Greatsword +5" Literally the first two words of the description: "This Greataxe"

Submit

High damage when fully upgraded (unlike the dragon great sword that even at max lvl does only 200-300 damage) but still not a good weapon for bosses such as 4 kings and death

Submit

No scaling making it a good candidate for raw infusion

Submit

If you are going for minimum requirements you have the stats to two-hand the gravelord sword. It’s a good choice for cutting the tail at a low level. The running attack is fast and powerful. Easiest way to cut the tail solo is to stay at a medium-far distance away from him to bait the diving attack. When he flies at you roll to the left, get behind him and position yourself directly beneath the tail. This will bait his tail slam attack allowing you to get 1-2 free hits. Remember you MUST position yourself DIRECTLY beneath the tail otherwise he will not follow up.

Submit

It can be obtained very late and have low requirements with no scaling. Definitely weapon for veterans to make low level character get it somehow at low level(through sheer skill or friends help)designed specifically to abuse newbies. Even its special attack is designed as newbie buster.

Submit

no scaling at all... well but i guess my exorcist will do fine with darkmoonblade on this thing

Submit

Not so hard to get as it first seems. Especially with internet nowadays it's easy to find out but eventually one will figure how to bait the tail slam and get easy free hits.

Submit

Best way to cut off the tail is to bait his tail slam when you're behind him. It stays on the ground for a second after he slams, which is an excellent opportunity to punish. Took me three tail slams until I cut it. The rest of the time it's just too damn high to hit with any melee weapon.

The best friend of sorcerers, along with Moonlight Greatsword.

Would be great if I could cut that fuckers tail off....

Remastered does not list the sword as a greataxe, it is properly listed as a greatsword on the item description

Full R2 is pretty underwhelming. I mean, its awesome, and cool, but half the time you'll just get backstabbed and the other half they'll roll out of it. BUT, IF YOU ARE A GOD OF LAG LIKE SOME PEOPLE I KNOW ARE, THIS THING IS GOD LEVEL, 20/3. Spam that full R2 and wait for them to go in, not realising for you it looked like you used it about 5 minutes ago as they get hit in the face by it.

Submit

What happen to Kalameme sword!? Why is the r2 looks so bad!?

When using DMB + Darkmoon Talisman (rank 3) at 50 faith on this weapon, the AR is 474(.6) magic 480 physical. Go wild with your 954 damage weapon that will do more than 300 damage through your average shield.
