I hope this is the case, but I was told he doesn't leave the cell if you miss that scene. I still haven't freed him, but I've got the key and will be doing that tonight when I get home. Forget making supper, I've gotta spring my buddy from that rat-infested sewer.

This is going to be a longass day.



He is sheer perfection. PERFECTION.

Man I reeeeeeally got high salt levels about the cathedral area and how many runs it took for me to unlock the shortcut. Still having so much fun even if salt is everywhere

This is me:



And I'm dead (I saw it coming), because no one gave me advice to do it right.



Now I'm gonna get my souls back and return to the bonfire.

Edit: I tried to make him fall, but I was thrown down instead! HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Here's something that works with every boss: get into the arena and observe. Look how it attacks, learn the tells. See how it behaves when you're close up, when you're at range.

I don't really recall much about the fight with Iudex, but I know there was a lot of rolling involved. But there always is, so that probably isn't helpful.

Just dodge his attacks and don't get greedy with strikes.



Most enemies respawn (minus mini-bosses, like that giant crystal lizard) when you die or rest at a bonfire. They removed the eventual permanent death of enemies from DS2.

Edit:


Catacombs of Carthus boss spoilers

^I'm good enough for fighting with multiple above average enemies, but that boss is tough even by DS 2 standards!

Thanks for the tips and info. I wonder when can I level up?

I'm sure more of my hairs will turn white and I'll get a light version of Parkinson by the end of this game!

You can level up in the area after that boss fight. Look for a lady in a black dress in the room with the bonfire. Try two handing your mace, stick close to him and roll out of the away when he attacks. Only get away from him if you need to heal.

Ah him, fought him an hour or so ago. He really got one of the prettiest smiles in all of darkness!

'tis old man speaks the truth.

Git gud solves everything

The game started smacking me around at Central Irithyll. Then I got frustrated and it smacked me around even worse because that's what happens.


I'm gonna farm some souls tonight helping folks with Aldrich. I haven't even put my summon sign down once yet. I'm a terrible warrior of sunlight.

Having played too much Devil May Cry 4 has made me geared up more for the mechanics of Bloodborne than Dark Souls 3. Also fuck that mace-guy, now I have to pay 20000 souls to get him to stop attacking. Great.
