The second phase is significantly more dangerous, but comparatively simple, as there's only one set of moves and abilities to worry about. If the battle drags on it begins to cycle through this series again. This last phase is very annoying, as the boss can heal itself – but ideally, you’ll have beaten the first phase before it gets this far. During the first phase, it will begin with melee attacks only, then switch to a mix of lightning spears and homing soul masses, then switch to fireballs and other pyromancy spells, and finally begin using miracles. Soul of Cinder is the ultimate NPC character, which means it has a ton of abilities. Spell casters should wait for the boss to go into a melee combo, and fire away when the boss is flailing his sword in the other direction. With a conservative strategy of one hit per evasion during the boss's recovery phases, plus good roll placement and stamina conservation, you’ll whittle him down with no dramas. Most of the Soul of Cinder’s attacks are slashes or thrusts, easily rolled away from. If you can take a hit every now and then, this is a reasonably comfortable battle once you get into the swing of it. This means you need to be very, very careful of when you attack, because every time you lower your guard, you are potentially moments from death. If you’re a very low vigour character, you’ll want to bring a very good shield and use it all the time, because some of the boss’s attacks will absolutely one hit kill you. Keep your health good and full through this fight why do you think we’ve been collecting all those Estus Shards, eh? Ration your Estus and don't get too excited when the first one empties out. This guy hits hard, it’s true – but if you’re even a little bit agile, and capable of keeping calm, you can do it.įirst things first: be aware that the boss has two full health bars, one for each phase. Potentially something of a let down, to be honest.
