I progressed quite a bit in the last week.
The Draconic Sentinel Tree beat me countless times, even after learing his patterns by hearts it only takes one mistakes to get killed. I'm fighting him on horseback since it's easier to dodge his attacks especially the fire ball and the lightning bolt. I want to use a Runic arc but I don't want it to be wasted.
So I decided to explore other areas first and ventured further into Caelid. I find it funny that the most disturbing place in all From Software games has a similar name to mine (Khalid). In the end I quickly reached the Red Mane Castle. Love the music there and the announcement by the old dude, Jeren or something. In the trailers I thought it was Radahn himself talking. His intro cutscene is excellent.
So Radahn. I ended up beating him in my third or fourth try! Summoning NPCs made the battle feel really epic. Again, Torrent is useful for keeping my distance and running away, especially from the big meteor dive of death. What an excellent idea to give him an attack like that! I managed to put Radahn to rest at level 78 with the Bloodhound's Fang+6. The whole desert/beach area reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Truly a highlight of this game.
On the other side of the map, I'm progressing through the Volcano Manor. This area is made really difficult by the lack of sites of grace and the vicious snakemen and the masked guy who throws flames. Really like the level design and the unique sight of houses trapped in lava. I won't bother with the magma dragon, it's just not worth it.
Just for fun, I went back to Limgrave and went to the soldier campsite in front of the gate. I loved slaughtering them one by one without trouble. Made me appreciate all the progress I've done. Still have a long way to go.
Next goal: get the wing of Astel because its ability seems really useful.
