Instructions
Press "Circle" and move the analog stick away from Old King Allant to roll out of the way of his attacks. All of his attacks except one, a shockwave thrown from his sword, are close-range attacks. However, you can roll to the side to avoid every one of his attacks.
Attack Old King Allant once he has missed you with an attack. You will only have time to hit Old King Allant a few times before he attacks again --- roll to safety before he attacks. Never attack him more than three or four times in succession.
Use any weapons that allow you to put distance between you and Old King Allant. For example, if you are of a melee class, using a spear allows you to maintain a safe distance from Allant while still being able to attack him.
Use your shield to block Allant's attacks only if you have obtained a powerful shield. (For example, the Dark Silver Shield will block all his attacks.) If you use a weak shield, Allant's attacks will damage you through your shield.
Use any health-restoring items, such as New Moon Grass, to recover your health if it gets low.
Avoid Old King Allant when your stamina, the green bar located in the upper left corner of the screen, is low. Low stamina will slow your character down and make you unable to dodge or attack effectively, making you an easy target for Allant.
Continue to avoid Allant's attacks and attack him whenever there is an opening until his health bar, located at the bottom of screen, is depleted. Once his health bar is depleted, you are victorious.
