Same question, same type of water pool, but I found one in a different area.

There's a map viewer for DS1 & 2 here http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls2/comments/21kxov/dark_souls_2_map_viewer/
DS1's is wonderfully connected but DS2's is a real mess unfortunately. Areas overlap and generally make no sense with their placement.

I'm unable to make .webm's at the moment, so these lossy gfycat videos will have to do.
This looks awesome, Wickfut!

Cannot wait until ENB is hopefully more refined. Boris is a wizard.

I do have those., just made a typo. I'm still only doing 140 per hit on him.
You think I made it that far killing only 4 bosses?

I think you need 5 in order to get his stats all the way down to base.
Ugh. 27 hours, 5 bosses down in and I almost wanna reroll to get more effigies and shards. Currently struggling with the
. I know how to fight them and they don't have that much HP, but eh, one slip-up and it's over. And I slip up, every time. /whine Still a fun fight, as frustrated as I am.

Not 4 bosses, I just thought you meant the 4 greater boss souls but you cleared that up.
There's a 5th one you can find but it's difficult to get. You need to kill the Ancient Dragon.

How far down are you getting them? Here's the strat I used:
Fight the first one on the platform. Stay behind it in order to avoid all damage. Once it's dead, wait for the second one to jump up to the platform. While it's mid-air, roll off the ledge and heal up the fall damage. Dance around with the two Sentinels. When one attacks, swing at it once (twice is greedy, but most times it will be safe). Do that for about 10 minutes and you'll win. Attacks you have to watch out for are the Captain America shield throw, and the spinning attack.
I've found that one too.
There are also water pots in the area so I don't think you need that one if what is said earlier is to be believed.

This is one of those fights that really works as a co-op with two guys. You can seriously whoop some ass together.
Cheers. Yeah, that's the strategy I use, about, with the modification that I either
try to shave up some HP on the second one while we're dueling on top, or I try to do falling attack in the head of the second one. I also got some AoE miracle that does a tiny bit of damage. Also trying to group them up to make them attack together, as I can then hit them both with the halberd.

Stand in it to heal. Roll in it for a temp fire Def bump.
you are right on top of what Mcduff is looking for.
Doesn't it give you 1 iframe at 38 and another one at around 70? It doesn't seem that worth it.
But again, there is a big fight about it, everywhere i look for info on it.
I also did 140 damage to him. Boss was pretty easy after you figure the trick.
Just keep circling to his back by your right side. Every attack he does will miss you and when he lunges at you, just roll the shit out of there.
It's a matter of patience. (I only had 4 souls instead of 5)

I don't have a screen cap, but just go to the beach with the coffin and look across the water.

Stay behind his left leg, most swings will miss, the batle is more a matter of patience.
Did you get the Giant Souls? If so he is rather easy. Circle around him and hit on the open chance you get. I can usually get 2-3 hits and I was using the Mace. Took me like 3 minutes.
There's an easy way to get the
5th Giant Soul.
Use a bonfire ascetic at the first bonfire in Black Gulch and you can kill those giants hidden there again, getting 5 souls without having to defeat the Ancient Dragon

4 is enough. Just two-hand your weapon and buff it. I always killed him with 4.

bitch I'm taking calls.
A lot of attacks do track, yes. So they aren't locked into the position they land immediately, and can, as you say "home" towards you. So there' isn't a sure-fire method, you have to practice. I will say for a lot of the giant and large type enemies, staying up in their grill is a good idea.

Those guys are punishing me as well. Tried co-oping as a phantom, but didn't work out so great. Going to try to head to no-mans wharf now instead.
Will do, kthx.

I decided to go hammers this time and I like the Homunculus Mace, but holy shit I've broken this thing so many times. I feel like going Winged Spear now.

Wait, those actually had a use? Huh.
Now I'm wondering if there's an actual (and similar) way to get rid of the poison that clings to you for a long time...
Been playing the game since launch, and gotta say it's pretty great! Super annoyed by the
, but it's pretty easy not to get involved with them though 
From what I am hearing about soul memory, it seems kind of unfair. Why in the world would lost souls count against soul memory?? That pretty much ensures that unskilled players can be matched up against higher skilled players and have worse equipment and levels.. I'm not against the idea behind soul memory, but it makes no sense to count lost souls.

I've avoided this area just because of that. They scare me.

I'm still taking a great deal of damage from fire while wet.

It's not so bad, just dont
attack any rats
oh, they can only summon you if you attack the rats? hmm...alright, I'll give that a shot.

You can
target a rat in the horde, then just switch targets until you target one without a healthbar above it. That's the boss.

So, I'm a melee guy. I've put so many points into strength that my next level literally gives zero stat boosts (a second point into strength will). Should I stop putting points into strength, if so what would you guys suggest I put them in?
You should stop at 40, unless you want to use a weapon that needs more than that do use in one hand.

Check the
forked road, ruins?, bonfire in the shaded woods. There are numerous outlets to explore.
Hmm, I thought that was it, maybe I'm wrong though.
Off.
Not bad
