Gundyr? He sucks the first time playing. I picked Thief as my first class and I probably died 15-20 times.

I would recommend starting as a Knight or Pyro because the knight's shield is pretty beneficial for that first fight (just get behind and get 1/2 swings then shield up) and he's pretty weak against a pyro's fireballs especially in his "phase 2" form.

In either case just don't get greedy on hits and leave enough stamina for a roll dodge.

Kind of. Eventually you can buy them for 13k souls a piece once you get certain ashes to give to the handmaid (old lady).

Do you know how the assassin’s shield holds up?

What does touching bloodstain do? Can that help me in the arena with this guy?

No. That's where another player playing online died and hasn't collected their souls yet.

It may block damage okay, but it probably will drain stamina more than the knight's. It's generally better to roll dodge than use shields.

Dragonslayer Armour down.


Almost had him my first go and then got sloppy. 5 tries, I believe.

I wish this game had a boss wave mode where you would fight random bosses that would progressively get more difficult.

I got there last night, but didn't start the fight. I'm looking forward to it when we get off work.

Basically watching a playthrough Cowboy did a while back, mainly using it for not missing certain key items because he shows you where everything is. I'll usually do the bosses without watching him fight them, and if I'm having too much trouble, I'll see what he's doing. He's playing a straight up strength build with the FUGS, so he's just beating the shite out of stuff.

So I'll explore as much as I can on my own and watch his playthrough to make sure I didn't miss an estus shard or something.


ETA Is it an optional boss? Looks like I have 6 left, 4 of them being optional.

Doing really well with the first part now. I’m able to get him to his second Phase form. Can get there with all 3 health potions.

I’m playing as an assassin, now I need to learn this phase of him, I really just want to move on. Lol

ETA I DID IT! Cooled sword!

It says spook on the wheel. I’m assuming it’s some sort of sneak for the assassin.

Sorry to keep asking questions, but wheel?

And that's a Coiled Sword, and it's for the bonfire in that arena.
