I just defeated the Fallingstar Beast located at the Sellia Crystal Tunnel (solo, no summons of any kind)...good God that was hard...I beat him with my Level 36 character...I hear that he's more of a high level boss but I knew I could beat him...took me like 3 hours of attempts...once you learn his movesets in theory he shouldn't be this difficult but certain moves require pinpoint timing...if you're a millisecond off he still hits you
he has this one move where he shoots up magic rocks from the ground...he does it 3 consecutive times and on the last one you're supposed to roll or jump out of it...I had the timing down and would clear all 3 most times but every once in awhile the 3rd jump doesn't land and he nails you with this huge AOE damage effect...same thing with another move where he tries to spear you into the wall...he was so frustrating because I knew I could take him out but one small mistake and it's over
I heard they nerfed this boss with patch 1.03...previously he was even tougher with a nearly impossible 2nd stage where he uses even more magic attacks including a Gravity Slam that fills up the entire cave and is pretty much un-blockable...apparently this boss appears later in the game as an 'adult' version and From Software accidentally copied that same boss over to this fight
