I was just good at dodging her attacks, which takes a little patience.Īs I mentioned earlier, you can actually defeat her much earlier in the game. And no, I didn't cheese her with the column trick, either.

Personally, I didn't think she was all that bad. Some people say Dancer's one of the hardest bosses in the game. But even once I got in, that arrow rain of death took me out over and over again before I realized you have to just keep running until he stops. It doesn't help that just getting to his boss fog is a pain. Remember that he's not the human-looking god, but actually the ooze eating the god.

It literally took me at least 20 tries - even with help - to defeat this joker. Personally I was able to beat him after 2-3 tries, but I also summon help for most boss fights. When he starts summoning a phantom, it can get tricky. This is one of the toughest fights in any Dark Souls III boss order, and solo players have a tough time with Pontiff. Most players probably die a few times to the giant before they go exploring mid-fight and find it.īut the sword does make this fight easier than the next, hence why I recommend you go after Yhorm first. Most people, unless they've read about it online, don't even realize the sword is available for use against the giant. Personally - I think it's fine the way it is. Boss #10: Yhorm the GiantĪnother Spoiler Alert. Some people say this fight was way too easy, and it's broken because of the Storm Ruler sword you can pick up during the fight. Be ready to dodge or block it - I can't tell you how many times it took me out. When he's about to die, he has a last-ditch exploding attack that does a ton of damage. If you beat him right away, you can't use the NPC summons to help you clear the area.Ģ. Don't kill him until after you beat the rest of the level. Boss #9: Old Demon Kingįound in Smouldering Lake, the Old Demon King is a fun fight. Just prepare to do a lot of running around. Wolnir isn't bad, and his weakness is probably the easiest to spot in the game. I wasn't expecting an insta-kill bad breath attack. The first time I fought Wolnir, I died in about 3 seconds. Anri, Sirris and Horace are all available to take these guys out.Īlso pay attention as the two watchers at the first half of the fight resurrect - one of them is the enemy of your enemy! Boss #8: High Lord Wolnir If you struggle with them, just bring on an NPC summon. One of the best fights in the game, defeating the Abyss Watchers opens a new fork in your Dark Souls III boss order.

However, the area is definitely worth exploring and killing the demon gives you a soul used for items.Įven though there are no NPC summons available, you can probably find a player or two to help with the fight. This guy (high above Farron Keep) doesn't have a fog gate and is completely optional. I will say that if you're a caster, you may struggle here just because the other deacons will tend to get in your way.
GAMES LIKE DARK SOULS 3 LEVELS HOW TO
Once you figure out how to defeat them, it's a breeze. This is kinda like the Royal Rat Vanguard fight of Dark Souls II in that regard. You can always summon Eygon if you need help, though. By the time I came back for the Sage, I had leveled up so much that I destroyed him easily.īut even if you aren't super-leveled, Crystal Sage isn't too difficult. I walked right past the Sage and ended up in Farron Keep. This is where my Dark Souls III boss order diverged from how it should've gone. Definitely beat him the first try when I came back with my better equipment. You do need to take him out if you want to convert boss souls into goodies, though.Īs I said, I struggled with him the first few times I fought him, so I just skipped him and came back later. If you struggle with this dood, don't worry- you can always come back to him (as I did.) He's actually an optional boss, so you never have to defeat him. If you have trouble with him, there are 2 NPCs you can summon: Lion Knight Albert and the Swordmaster (assuming you defeated him by Firelink Shrine.) Boss #3: Curse-Rotted Greatwood I think Vordt is easier than Iudex - you just have to be patient. It's better to go straight for Vordt though, as he's much easier for a low-level character to take out than Dancer.

This is where your path can split, as mentioned earlier. If you're having trouble with him, you can always re-roll a pyromancer. He's not extremely easy, but he's not bad once you figure out the best strategy for him. As the first boss of the game, you have to beat Gundyr before you can even get to the Firelink Shrine. You do have some flexibility here as you go along. For example, you can kill Dancer of Boreal Valley fairly early in the game, allowing you access to Lothric Castle and its baddies.īut for the most part, unless you really want certain items found there, it's best to proceed as follows: Boss #1: Iudex Gundyr
