You have to lure them out one at a time into that opening. Move slowly and one of the ones on the right will jump down first. Then the left, then the right, and finally the last one of the left.

You have to pull them out one at a time or you have no shot.

Is he thinking of earthen peak or the mines? I remember wandering into a trap area, meaning there is a difference of elevation so no luring enemies out. You get ganked by four sickle enemies.

In the mines I think. There is a big enemy at the end of a trail that busts through a wall and then there is an opening to the right before you get to him with a slight drop that traps you there that has 4 sickle guys that will all attack at once if you run out.

The way I did it was I used a 100% block shield and slowly worked my way out there to pull one at a time back into the opening and killed each one there.

Beat the game but still trying to kill Vendrick. I could off him pretty easily but he keeps gravitating towards the edge of the damn room. I would rather go through Amamma again than do this.

Some guy just rope a doped me

He summoned me and another guy at the gate by dragonrider. Promptly ran the other way to fight old dragonslayer. Other dude either got killed or bailed b/c he was gone. Me and the summoner killed dragonslayer pretty easily. Now I know his attacks

I've also learned some bosses are easier solo

Stay on his arse, literally. He is such a frustrating boss. I'd get him down to a quarter health and then he decides to jump backwards into the wall where I can't follow and then triple slash to kill me. I finally got him with some lucky dodge times.

I tried to kill the Ancient Dragon for the 5th soul, but I don't have the patience for that shite. He constantly spams his aerial fire attack and the sprint button is broken. That's something they need to patch ASAP.

Apparently it's much easier to fight Vendrick with 4/5 souls than it would be to beat that ancient dragon to get 5/5 souls. I beat Vendrick with 4/5 because I died a shite ton of times trying to help people with the ancient dragon as a phantom. Got beat by his tail, stomped on by his feet, killed in the initial flame burst, and by his aerial flame burst.

So just be prepared, in NG+, most of these bosses are feeling like 1-2 shot killers

I disagree


Bosses have been exponentially harder when I've been summoned at times

Take it from someone who is ng+, it tells you this. Adding phantoms makes bosses have more hp though

Beat Vendrick on my third try tonight and started NG+. I haven't had any trouble with the bosses until Flexile Sentry; there are now two new enemies that drop in that cause massive bleed damage.
