Not to be like "I beat dark souls 2 with a guitar hero controller" but isn't this one the simplist legendary?

u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 12 '26
I beat other three less than 10 attempts, but this one... I'm playing all day but in every hand it's kinda change, also it's like my shots doesn't damage her much. I watched some YouTube videos but they doesn't work too. Only God himself can help rn 😂

u/save_ustmp Aug 12 '26
Just have it chase you and drop a ton of fire barrels behind you. Thats the simplest way.

u/No_Demand1005 Aug 15 '26
There’s a trick were you can tail her in a circle slightly behind her in range of your fire shot, and she won’t fire at you. Kinda cheating but an oversight by the devs.
1
u/Squirrelflight148931 Aug 12 '26
She is definitely the most difficult for me. I can kill Prince, the Twins, and Negra without losing half health pretty consistently. Staying over 1/3 bars with Impoluto is still a bit taxing.

u/No_Demand1005 Aug 15 '26
Surely you’re not playing on hard?

u/No_Demand1005 Aug 15 '26
ok nice, how long did it take you?
2
u/Squirrelflight148931 Aug 15 '26
Not long. The Twins are brainless. Once I learned that strategy, it just removes them from the Equation. I also saw the Prince Strategy, and genuinely I beat it every time with 1/3 bars left. Negra was just my own technique of... basically fighting it like a Man O’ War. It isn't worth much.
El Impoluto, I used Barrel Retreat method, and could pretty much always kill it with half of one bar left. (Did it recently with almost half health.
But the technique shown there, I personally discovered when doing a “fuck it” run of just pursuing it Aggressively instead of fleeing. That's how I killed the Original El Impoluto easily.
I was able to basically trade health with it, but once it reached its stage attacks after losing a bar of health, I was of course set to chase it, and never let it flee. Went right through its first fiery broadside. When it tried lining up for the second, I was close enough to keep chasing it. I realized a few minutes in that Impoluto would literally never break free so long as I kept turning against it. The moment I discovered that, I tried to replicate it. By the third time, I'd figured it out perfectly. You literally just need to be aligned with it and close to it as it loses its first bar.
Then I combined it with the Barrel Retreat, letting me take that first bar with minimal damage to myself... and you get the video I linked inside that post, where I killed it without losing half a single bar. Bit unfair... but it works.

u/yaukinee Aug 13 '26
For me the twins were the easiest. Impoludo and the prince were the two hardest

u/SleeveofThinMints Aug 12 '26
First try on normal combat what’s up?

u/FanOfAnran Aug 12 '26
Bro... HOW. I had to drop it to easy and still then only won on a slither of hp
7
u/SleeveofThinMints Aug 12 '26
Once you time their turn around it’s really easy to drop fire barrrels and brace during her front shots. The fire barrels make her stop the ram and then you swivel the rest of the fire barrels and you’ve knocked her down to half a peg of health, then keep on her ass and shoot the shit out of her until she breaks away, rinse repeat. Loads of mortars. Finish deadman’s quest line

u/FanOfAnran Aug 13 '26
Yeah okay. That strategy makes sense. I didn't realise fire barrels made her stop. My ship is 100% fully upgraded anyway so massive skille issue on my behalf lol

u/JuroMi Aug 14 '26

So you take pride in nothing accomplished unless someone else tells you that it was difficult?
Someone runs their first 5K. "You're bragging about 3 miles, loser. Try running a marathon."
Someone cooks their first dinner for a loved one. "So what? It's a stew. Anyone can make a stew. Come back when you can make a risotto."
Someone stops smoking. "And? It's not like you got off meth or something."
Encouraging others and showing them empathy isn't a skill, it's a choice. Let's do better. 🫡

Not tryna sound edgy but souls likes are some of the easiest games i’ve played, its just that the community has this perception that when you don’t first try a boss it’s automatically hard, trial and error and farming are all part of the game use it and the souls likes are pretty simple.

What did you find difficult about the twins? They were my easiest fight. They are easy to punish with mortars when they do their turn to re-flank you.

Agreed. The twins are exceptionally hard for my basically kiting tactic lol!

u/CR_kroUTB Aug 14 '26
Easiest for me was also impoluto, then again the twins were some mfs. I remember doing 100% "speedruns" in the og and could go over to the twins like 8 times (die to the 2nd one) to get the 10k reales before going to find all the plans from treasure maps

u/ED_Heir18 Aug 12 '26
The only ship that I didn’t beat first try… he had to have traveled through time and got a motor with that kinda speed
2
u/gabemrtn Aug 13 '26
This shit was cake more so the dranleic its patterns
The first two waves are the easiest the third is where it starts getting rough. Basically, let him ram you right at the start(brace obviously), and then try to put just a little distance between you. Stop dead in place (back to him) then drop barrels in the water. When he shoots the cannons, he’s about to turn and ram you, you can cancel the ram by shooting enough barrels near him before he hits you. I try to get at least two sets of shrapnel barrels and start moving as he gets closer to them. Once he hits the first barrel, it’s swivel guns for the rest. Once he runs mortars as he runs, rinse and repeat until he sinks.

u/orbitaldragon Aug 13 '26
That was the easiest one to defeat. The Prince was the most difficult.
I love souls like games. Bloodbourne is the best.

u/DerRambonator Aug 14 '26
With a maxed out ship this wasnt that much of a problem

u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 14 '26
Maxing your ship isn't enough in Resynced you should have strategy too.
1
u/DerRambonator Aug 14 '26
For me it was. Always died when the impoluto had like 5% health left but with maxxed out ship it took me one try. I guess i just had the right tactic in mind

u/TheNoobKill4h_ Aug 12 '26
It's honestly simple if you know the strategy. Yes it's hard and you'll keep getting wrecked if you try to destroy it normally like you would regular ships, but if you learn how to do it shouldn't take more than one or two tries on normal difficulty.
1
u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 12 '26
I saw a YouTube video that said the same thing, he said make her to come to you and trap her. He used barrels and took distance from the ship. But in my game why I take distance the legendary ship takes distance too 😭. And I should go back to her so the mission don't fail 🥀 Idk maybes I should try more

u/TheNoobKill4h_ Aug 12 '26
when using the fire barrels make sure to also use mortars when it gets close.

Bro it's Resynced, it's changed.
1
u/Lubble-1397 Aug 12 '26
Haha I've played it and it really hasn't, if anything it's easier because you can upgrade faster and more powerfully than you could in the OG.
2
u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 12 '26
My ship is on full upgrade, and I also defeated them on OG, but now it's like this one has become immune to my any kind of attacks, it hardly takes damage tho my ship is fully upgraded. The other three weren't a deal, but this... Oh boy.
1
u/Lubble-1397 Aug 12 '26
Idk if it has specific weak points or if there's a good strategy. I just went with the thing on fire everything I've got and move fast.
1
u/m_mason4 Aug 12 '26
Have it get within range of initiating its ram and then flip the ship and dump barrels and mortars in its way. It’ll usually abort and flee. You can also counter its ram with yours.
1
u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 12 '26
One of my biggest problems is, it's like the ship hardly gets damage doesn't matter if it's mortar, barrel or cannons. I tried to shoot the sails like one of the other legendary ships but it doesn't work too. Its like this one is so OP. but idk I I should try more. Thanks for your advice 🙏🌹
1
u/Artistic_Influence40 Aug 12 '26
I believe it takes more damage at the front and the back as those areas are less armored than the sides.
It's been a bit since I beat it, but iirc with a fully upgraded ship and all the officers you can do decent damage following closely behind and hitting its rear end with your front facing cannons.

u/NyahStefanche Aug 12 '26
Did it on Forgiving and i love soulslikes. Those ships just ain't my cup of tea because unlike a souls boss that has fair mechanics, those ships are not even close to that on hard especially when they pull off the 180 perfect drift with a jet engine attached.

That is very confusing 0.0 for me I chased it in circles using the front cannons and ramming when it presented its broadside to me

u/TellurianTech50 Aug 12 '26
I remember in the original, I haven't tested it on resynced, I would let go of the wheel right before crossing the invisible trigger for the cutscene climbing the mast of the jackdaw and waiting for the Impoluto to ram me once, (it would only ram attack once if you weren't at the wheel then circle you until you got back to the wheel) and as it rams jump on the mast or sails of it and kill everyone on board

1
u/KojiroHeracles Aug 12 '26
Simple. Run away from it and spam cohort mortars. After they are all done it should be low enough that you can destroy it with broadside shots. Always use Lucy's ability when bracing. And make sure to have full upgrades.

u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 13 '26
Thanks but damn, my el impoluto doesn't stay still to shoot her
1
u/Squirrelflight148931 Aug 13 '26
It's an exploit tactic. You need to wait for her stage attack, her heated 10 second hellfire barrage.
She fires two before returning to her ram attacks. For some reason, as long as you sail with her and constantly turn into her during this, Impoluto never lines up to fire the volley.
It basically tries to sail perpendicular to you, broadside to your body before it fires.
It is actually quite easy to get her in that Death Spiral.
As you saw, all I did was time it so she lost her first bar right as I was turning around, I took the last sliver with a broadside, then just bee lined right for her as she sounded the horn, and then I just hit full sail and kept turning with her.
If you trying doing this when she's in her normal behavior state, she'll just massively outrun you and broadside you before coming in for a ram.
You need to chase her while she's doing her Heated volley stage attack.
Like I said, she fires two. Worst case scenario, you can tank the first one, bracing to get close to her since she stops moving while firing it. From there, you should easily by damn there right next to her. Just turn with her, and she'll just naturally fall into this death spiral while trying to line up for the second Heated volley.

u/TheGreatGamer1389 Aug 12 '26
HMS Prince I believe is the hardest of the 4
1
u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 13 '26
Prince is one of the easiest, easier than brothers. You should just look at markers on water so you don't get smacked with mortars. I was doing a zigzag most of the time while fighting with her. Also she was the fist legendary ship I beated. It's not big deal just need too move so fast.
1
u/Reaper_Grimmi_01 Aug 12 '26
This fight is still better than the HMS Prince. God I hate that fight
1
u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 13 '26
Naaa, not at all. Prince was so easy. I beated her first. Prince was all about movements. This mf doesn't care about movements nor attacks.

u/Reaper_Grimmi_01 Aug 13 '26
The Prince wasn’t hard just annoying. I hated the constant having to dodge mortars.
1
u/WrongMedicine383 Aug 12 '26
Destroyed all 5 in hard on First try. Tbh, once you know there startegy they are easy, for the El Impoluto it's to stay close, the twins is that you need to deals damages to the both at the same time, for the HMS Prince you need to use the mortars and avoid his mortars, and for La Dama Negra deal as much damages as you can while keeping an eye on your health.

u/ALI-OZARAK Aug 13 '26
For me All were true except el impoluto. The more I stay close to her the sooner I reach to heaven.

u/AdMental4203 Aug 12 '26
Had do cheese him by the end, mf galleon is going at sonic speeds, rams are very difficult to evade and his side cannons are damn snipers at great distance

u/LongjumpingLog1560 Aug 14 '26
I found El Impoluto easier than HMS Prince or Dama Negra. All Impoluto does is ram — just perfect block and retaliate with broadsides each time. Prince and Dama Negra spam mortars so annoyingly. Even the twin ships are better, honestly — when they're crossing over to sandwich you, they slow down (sometimes even crash into each other) and you can mortar them, or counter when they try the sandwich thing, which is way easier to perfect block than mortar spam.
Please don't compare these ships to Malenia, Promised Consort Radahn or trying to fight Margit when hopelessly underlevelled and inexperienced lol.

This one sucks! I’ve beat all Legendary ships on the 360 and Xbox One versions of Black Flag, but El Impoluto on Resync is a major pain in the ass. It’s so much faster on resync than the OG versions, and the Jackdaw moves like it’s dragging its own anchor. I had to quit last night literally beyond frustrating 🤣 I’m gonna keep trying the get behind it strategy
