The guy is hardcore, especially when he
sets his sword on fire
His attacks are indeed easy to evade, but one you get hit it's hard to get back in the zone and most of the time it's game over. Especially after

Argh :/
It's so much easier when the host has a mic, especially in iron passage.

Gyrm Greatshield or Havel's both have 100% Fire Resistance, I think.
Fire Rebel's Greatshield will have 100% fire block, but only like 75% physical. It's possible to kill him before he buffs if you're fast enough. Maybe I was just lucky.
EDIT: Grym Greatshield is definitely a better suggestion. Don't mind me. I don't use greatshields
Gyrm Greatshield, perhaps. Summoning on him is a bit of a bad idea, since even without summons, he's a huge tank with a huge cannon. He's kind of like in Ancient Dragon in that respect.

played a bit yesterday, I am trying to get all the pieces of the lady on fire soul, I hate the cursed sections on this dlc, good thing they're short
Using Grym or Havels, It depends if the fight is in NG (and NG+) or NG++ (and above).
For NG and bonfire ascetic/NG+; Grym Greatshield helps a lot, but reinforcing the shield with a buff is warranted (during half way in the fight).
Me fighting as a Phantom (contains DLC_2 spoilers) - http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/44229417862774138/D8F8FD827324C389ADBEC5374419614F02250EFB/
The gyrm greatshield will but it's not just fire damage he does as it still gets some damage on you.
Yes, Even with Gyrm Great shield he does damage. Would upgrading it to max do any good?
No it won't really. It's dark damage so it doesn't really gain much reduction from upgrading.
I gave up on blocking and started rolling.
And beat
Fume Knight
Btw I fought only one boss now and got the crown. Where the hell is the other 2 bosses. I heard there is 3 bosses in total. Edit: don't tell me. 
Now the smelter katana spot is shining. Checking it out.

Ok, is there a shortcut to?Alone Boss
Nope! Have fun!
Jeez...
Also what's up with the curse room. I can't see for shit and I'm getting cursed non-stop...

Never tried dual wielding with one of the weapons being an UGS before now. Used a curved sword and rapier for a little while but spent most of my time with dual katanas. Always thought that using two huge weapons at once looked dumb as hell and I'd never bothered to pair one up with a smaller, faster weapon on my offhand until I decided to try out a
this morning and it's actually a lot of fun. I'm not crazy about the moveset of that particular UGS, but it looks dope as hell (reminds me a bit of the
) and having the other sword out with it gives me a lot of more options to get in.

One thing I liked a lot about demon souls was that it was very simple and easy to know were to go and what path to take.
I feel like I am at an end and I just beat the old dragonslater, so very early on in the game.
Don't know what path to take.
Also, nothing like beating a boss to save 20,000 souls ( thought the fog lead to another room, not a boss) and then end up losing the souls to gravity.

Torch might help there, like with the poison fog in Earthen Peak.
Dragon rider is the way you should go it's the other boss of the area. So right at the fork.

Keep exploring
In a chest in the main building there is a mask that adds 1000 to your curse resistance

Use light armor, the only time you can get hit is where He casts the fire orbs
Good luck finding it, is so random
Cursebite ring is also really helpful here.
What?! Where?! I swear I searched high and low for ages for that thing, and never found it.
I did find the two breakable walls with the Catarina boots + gloves and Petrified Dragonbones, but no funky Hollowmask.
Hated
in the main game, hate him more now. Anyways beat him.
I love
, but the long journey to reach him is pissing me off soo much. Summoning the AI to reach the boss helps tho. Since I want to fight him alone, I usually send them back at the fog gate.

There is a door that opens from the other side I have yet to figure out. Starting at the Foyer bonfire, if you take the lift up, just before you get to the top if you jump off to the level below it, I can go right down a hallway. It ends in a door I can't open from that side. Next to it is an elevated exit to another hallway I haven't been able to get to either. Any idea's?

I heard is in a elevador just facing the wall while its moves to unlock a secret illusory wall
Wow, that's just... Just great. No wonder I didn't find it. How the heck would you even think to search that, jeez.
Throw a firebomb at the door or punch it with a fire weapon/pyromancy fist.
This new dlc at the very least level design wise is great
I read one review that noted that a lot of the iron king stuff comes down to exploiting the systems within the game and I definitely get that vibe and it's a lot of fun

that dark room that curses you at the third bonfire is cool but what does that statue control in the room? I haven't spent enough time to clear all the enemies in the area

Do you mean the Ashen idol? It is causing the curse in the room, take it out and no more curse. There is just loot down there. It is all worth getting.
I found it by accident I don't expect anyone to actually know it was there whilst exploring about the place. Suppose it's a bit like the catarina stuff earlier on.

That's just terrible design, I lost to him once, not gonna bother again, that area is just a huge pain in the ass, designed to be as annoying, time consuming and repetetive as possible. I know I can beat all those guys, it just takes forever to do so.
Bad From. Disappointing piece of DLC all in all, after the first one which was pretty brilliant.
Absolutely great DLCs.
But I'm in trouble. I used all the Smelter Wedges that I could find, yet I'm missing one of the Ashen idols that
. Searched everywhere, so got frustated and resorted to wikis.
Am I understanding correctly that the missing Wedge can only be obtained after I defeat such boss? If so, what's the point? Wasn't aware that I should not have "wasted" them.
Argh, I'm guessing that's going to be a VERY though fight.

What is a good weapon for a dex/faith? Are blacksteel katanas any good still?
Damn. Thanks. An auto-heal boss does not sound nice at all.
Have farmed them hard, don't think that miracle is available through them. Looks like it would be quite overpowered for PVE.

;.; why
It is alright still a drangelic sword or any of the curved greatsword would be better choices probably though.
Because they're exclusive to them?

Curved? What we talkin bout, eh?
Just curious, what are the best Armor sets so far? Because I'm still rocking my maxed out Alone Knight Captain armor and you know what? It's good. It's in the 300 range except for the helm which is at about 150 or so (too lazy to check right now) though I do have the Looking Glass Knight Gauntlets on and they're maxed out.
High scaling DEX weapons that er on the heavier side of things. More sort of DEX focused ultras really. You'll need to put some points in STR but you're getting weapons that scale A or S with DEX at max.
