I also wanted to use furysword against them but I didn't know I had to have a +10 curved sword and that's not possible now.

Sure, but assuming you don't want to play offline for some reason, that's the extent of your options

I never had an issue with them before, so there's something I'm doing wrong

Yeah you're fighting them. :v

Just run down the stairs, duck behind a pillar, then get to the fog door. Fighting is only worth it if you're dead set on getting Solaire.

As for the AOE roll back twice when he jumps straight up, that always worked for me even without fast roll. It's probably the best opportunity to attack him as well, since he takes a good while to get back on his feet.

I'll try that. I can't get solaire anyways because it takes so long to kill the sentinels that I end up getting invaded if I'm human. I'm also going into the boss fight with 4 or less estus because the sentinels kick my ass so bad. I wish you could just make yourself human wherever instead of only being able to do it at a bonfire.

In the time it took to make that last post until now, I was invaded and killed. I barely got past the room with the bonfire in it this time.

To this day, I have still never invaded another player. Not even once. I don't get the appeal of doing that.

I'm out of humanity now anyways.

Serris

If you're not getting Solaire why do you keep going human?

Opium

2017-05-06 11:46:56 pm

I was going to see if there was a co-op summon sign anywhere. I guess there are zero players wanting to co-op and million who just want to invade.

Died twice trying to run from sentinels :(

I might have a shot if I had a decent weapon. My strongest weapon only take off about 1% of O's health. It does plenty of damage to S though.

Opium

I think I just came here way too early. Nothing I can do about it now.

Serris

2017-05-06 11:49:18 pm

Well assuming you don't stop to read messages or whatever between boss attempts, just go offline until you're done with O&S

Get the Crystal Halberd from the Mimic near the first Anor Londo bonfire

Serris

2017-05-06 11:51:10 pm

Also if you don't know, you can leave Anor Londo the way you entered it

!!! I did not know this. Jesus. I thought it was a one-way ticket and the only way out was getting lord vessel.

I just got SO close to killing O&S.

Opium

2017-05-07 03:20:26 am

I did it. What can be messed up by placing the lord vessel besides the kaathe thing? Are there any NPC questlines that can be ruined?

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Nope. Most quests at this point are stalled until you finally place it iirc.

So I fought Midir again. And, uh, this is gonna sound insane but, um, I think maybe that fight is actually good? Granted this is my STR/FTH Lightning Blade casting Zwei monster almost purpose built to wreck Ol' Barney, but, like, it was actually really fun and dragons are never fun in these games. Help???

Serris

2017-05-07 06:40:35 pm

It was only fun compared to the first time you fought him. Don't worry, you're definitely insane.

tomatobob

Well, I am out of not Pontiff bosses to fight.

I don't know guys, am I ready to fight him?

_{That's 603 two handed, 790 with Lightning Blade.}

I'm p nervous! I've only fought him with my first character way back in the day!

That was very satisfying!

Serris

2017-05-07 07:27:35 pm

Don't forget to use Sacred Oath, Deep Protection and the Lothric War Banner buff! Maybe you can oneshot him with one riposte.

tomatobob

2017-05-07 07:28:50 pm

Don't have Sacred Oath, but I forgot to War Banner Buff! I am a fool!

Serris

2017-05-07 07:31:27 pm

Also Sword Ring, Hornet Ring, and get a Pontiff's Right Eye buff off the guy in front of the boss room. Am I forgetting something? Probably!

I wish I could commit that completely to a goof, like those 720 behind the back Grundy parry folks, but I just don't have the patience lol. That's what separates me from the Youtube cash money folks, I suppose.

So according to the wikis Aldrich is weak to lightning. On top of being vulnerable to Vow of Silence and my dude being grossly overpowered. So that fight should be funny too. Faith owns in this game.

Opium

So I'm about to kill Seathe and I read that Logan has a few spells I need to buy first or else I won't be able to get them until NG+. grrr

That sounds incorrect. Far as I know Logan stays put until you buy all his shit, Seathe or no Seathe.

Can confirm fight was funny.

oh cool. I missed the part about you having to buy all his spells before his storyline progresses. Thanks
