did you not talk to her before the final 3 bosses
she tells you who created her

Fuuuuck I knew I forgot to do something. I've read some of the lore but I wanted to hear it from her own mouth. I still don't get the ending though.

[Ghazi]

I believe that happens if they've beaten the boss in that area. When they summon someone the fog gate goes up again, and if they traverse it, it sends you back.

 

[Ghazi]

attack him enough

I hit him like 10 times with my Great Club +8, like seriously I went ham on him and when he didn't respond I just left.

He has super high defense. You need a bunch of Giant Souls in your inventory to lower it to a more reasonable level. I think you need to do a certain amount of damage to get him to aggro. I could be wrong though.

while listening to some Markus Schulz. I couldn't do it until I put on some music lol. Didn't get hit once.

 

[ponpo]

how the hell did you dodge the fire aoe

I think there are enough videos on youtube of it now, but he's quite easy to 'cheese' if you stay near his back legs. My first try with him was on my sorcerer and I probably died like 15 times trying to play a more 'ranged' game and keep trying to make him do that forward fire instead of the AoE but it would fail at some point.

If you stay near his back legs you can force him to do one of three attacks, one of which is the big AoE but because you're right near the back legs + tail (and running towards the tail / shadow will save you during that fire AoE) it was easy enough to escape.

Anyway, he did it maybe twice the entire battle. On the youtube videos people have been put out, he does it way more often and I don't know why. I won't say this 100% since it's just been an observation rather than a test, but it felt like if you're under him and standing pretty still, he's waaay less likely to do that AoE vs. one of the other two attacks. The normal attacks were the foot stomp and the under-belly-breath thing, which are both much easier to dodge.

Yep. And if you want to use it without getting you Faith that high, sure. You can take it to 50 and use the Ring of Prayer, or less than 50 and use a combo of those two things.

though that bridge will wreck you early ingame

Huntsman's in general feels grossly overtuned at the point in which you can access it. Especially the boss fights. Neither of which are technically difficult to figure out at all, but the camera plays all kinds of havoc with both. Those Voldo/Resident Evil S&M enemies hit way too fucking hard too, although once you get their patterns down, they are very susceptible to backstabs.

Yep. And if you want to use it without getting you Faith that high, sure. You can take it to 50 and use the Ring of Prayer, or less than 50 and use a combo of those two things.

I think only time the +5 INT or +5 FA rings are ever worth it, is if you are no longer going to raise VIG at all. Life Ring +1 gives you around 10 SL worth of VIG, and the INT/FA rings are only 5 SL. I'll need to recheck that though. The description of the Life Ring on the wiki seems way off, because I was certainly getting more than a 7% increase in health.

As a caster though, a ring slot is always dedicated to the Clear Bluestone and one of the three Dragon (the hp/sta/load versions) rings. While leveling, especially every character after your first, it's almost a no-brainer to wear the Silver Serpent +1 (+20% increased souls) too. There are a lot of great rings left over vying for that final slot. Gold Serpent comes to mind if you're looking for drops, Soldier's if you want even more equipment load, Northern or Southern Ritual bands or even the Ring of Life Protection (if u bad...). If you play around with Hexes, the Abyss Seal is pretty much guaranteed too.

And maybe I just got terribly unlucky, but I think I ended up with twice as many Skeptic's than I did Simpleton's...so lowering FA requirements shouldn't be difficult.
