Hello Everyone, I have a guide for those who are having a hard time killing The Old King Doran.
The Boss Battle is very challenging and obviously difficult. But In the nick of time and paitience if you clearly listen to
the point of my guide you will see how it worked and how it worked for me. Now it's obvious that The Old King Doran's
A.I is made so well that he will battle you fair and square....of course....untill he gets very pissed off...
He will charge you and give you everything he's got... and before you know it you are gone. but like I said before..
If you will listen you will beat the Old King and you will get
-Old King Doran's Trophy
-All of his Armor
-Eternal Warrior' Ring: Raises Stamina Recovery Rate.
Now lets go on with this
(NOTE:IF YOU ARE WORKING THROUGH THE GAME TRYING TO BE ON YOUR P'S N Q'S WITH CHARACTER/PURE TENDANCY NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO DO THIS)
(2ND NOTE: Soulsucker doesn't work on this guy anymore..At least it didn't work for me and several others. If it works for you good for you...lol )
---------------------------------------------------
((The Guide pt 1.)) (im breaking it up becuase a lot of people don't like reading so much )
Now first and of course you must have the best armor you've got and the best weapon you have.
and make sure you have the spell Warding for high protection and if you have great intelligence skills bring around homing soul arrow
and if you have one more space choose whatever but its not really needed.
After you get to World 1-1 ignore everyone you see...if you want to go Kratos on them go ahead but "MAKE SURE" You kill everyone on the floor
where the first fog was was and where the big guy in armor is always protecting it. Kill everyone there including the pity arrowmen becuase they are
the most annoying. Now after you kill them and the spearman and arrowman blocking the door towards the king make sure you eliminate (duh) the
big guy in armor with the red light. After you do that make sure you now have
1.Fresh Sage,Full Moon grass,New Moon grass, on your quick items menu
2.Warding on your character right now
3.(reminder)all of your best armor equipped and weapon/shield
(4. IF you have an extra magic slot choose curse weapon besides homing soul ray)
(3RD NOTE: While you fight him make sure your health is always full during this battle. and be VERY PAITIENT.. Or you'll cry lol)
and now is the time to run up on the king and start beating him up. IF its your first time and he allows you to have the sword like if you are robbing him
and he's screaming no please and he's giving up a sword...keep smacking him up. NOW the best thing you can do is SERIOUSLY take you time with him. This is basically a ghetto swordfight so on guard and please TAKE YOUR TIME. You can hit him once and jump back and repeat. Just a long a you see him open just keep repeating until you see that he is really pissed off and he starts to.....
"Run and Rush you..."
Now this is where you pay attention
-------------
((Guide 2))
Now begin to quick run back towards the bridge to inside the door and heal yourself and use warding again becuase I know it won't last that long
but yet so protective. And now let him chase you threw the door where the arrowmen and spearmen were standing at. and keep running back
all the way UNTIL he stops chasing you. NOW "DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GO ALL OUT ON HIM BECUASE HE WON"T HIT YOU BACK UNTIL HE GETS CLOSE-
TO THE DOOR THE BRIDGE IS CONNECTED TO HIS ROOM" Now that is the key to this guide. BUT a couple of times he can snap out of it but no matter what
keep your guard up and make sure Warding is on and your health is always full and keep doing this. And you can get this on your first time and make sure you hit him at least one time before he takes a good 3 steps towards that 2nd door in the building connected to the bridge to his lair. becuase if he gets a chance to heal himself...You will have more time on your hands. now keep on doing this dance and you should have the trophy and his remains in no time. It worked for me. and his trophy is in my collection and you have to kill the old king to get one of the rings also.

I Hope this guide helps you all..
