I've got a save right at the Executioner's Chariot and I can't stay in one hole or it always hits. Unless you mean at the very start of the fight, because you're always safe there.

The chariot hits me all the time in the cubby holes, I never saw him attack me so I assumed it was a glitch. It might've happened when I tried to use the same hole twice, I don't remember.

I kill the two necros, stand in the second's cubby and pelt him with greatarrows/lightning (he always hits the cleric, but that's because you step forward when casting).

So I finally got a Llewelyn Armor and you guys were right, the Drangleic helm totally goes with it. In fact, so do the Drangleic gloves and boots. I'm beginning to wonder if instead of the helm being moved over, if the Drangleic chest was the odd piece out originally and the Llewelyn shoes and gloves were added last minute so Chancellor Wellager wouldn't look like a hobo.

The Drangleic boots and gloves are pretty good fashion souls items in general, with a nice modeled appearance (as opposed to all the gloves that are either super rudimentary in design or don't go with anything but their own set) and high defense/poise that goes neatly with light/middle-weight BPs to get decent poise without fatrolling or having to build around a high weight loadout.

There might just be a few where you are safe, then, but it's certainly not all of them. It might be the ones with the necromancers, which would make sense I guess!!

The horse kicking you in the face if you're behind it as it dies is a pretty funny dick move. I like both of the Copse bosses, they're more fun than most DS2 ones.

Is that move supposed to completely ignore your shield? The one in a dozen times I actually managed to make it to the switch and pull without being alcove gangbanged by skeletons until my stamina died, It caught me on the shield with that kick and destroyed my entire HP bar. No stamina damage, just cut straight through it with the shield clanging the hit and flat-lined me hardcore.

Oh, wait, not the death kick, the normal back kick. I'd be cool with it if it had maybe a dark effect or something, some visual clue that it's just going to press your poo poo deep immediately with no regard for defenses, but it looked just like a normal kick

If you played Dark Souls 1, the horse fights near-identically to one of those armor-clad boars, excluding the black fire breath. The first time I fought him legitimately was in NG5, and after noticing how similar he moved to the Dark Souls 1 boars he actually became rather easy to fight, in my opinion. Try to stay near (but not behind) one of his back legs, and back off as soon as he starts to move just in case he tries to kick you.

The hardest part of the fight, to me, is the lead-up because the chariot spikes hit really loving hard. I don't know if it was me using lovely armor or what, but in NG3 and higher he just straight up one-shots you if the spike happens to clip you. If you're in an alcove and need your shield up, target a skeleton and try backing into the wall grating anyway. If you really need it, bring some Alluring Skulls or the Yearn spell and shoot it at a nearby wall to distract the skeletons.

I personally feel like the fight would be a lot more fun and doable if the alcoves were just a tiny bit deeper. Like, even just 10cm. Right now it's such a close shave that it feels inconsistent, and I've definitely been hit even while mashing my face into the back wall. If they actually worked for hiding I think the fight would be much more enjoyable.

You know I really wish Lucatiel was a summon for the final boss instead of Vengarl. It would be like having Solaire for fighting Gwyn.

But then again she'd probably just fall off the cliff or something.

E: ^^ The only time I actually did it that way was as a hexer hitting him for obnoxious amounts every time, took ~3 minutes.

Also, yeah, experiencing that because I'm bad at dark souls and don't like The Easiest Boss Ever According to Forums User and Registered Dark Souls Professional Gamer kazil and used the unfun method of killing him was probably the only part of the boss I enjoyed.

Whatever, different strokes for different folks, its just nice to have a non-generic boss. Like take Old Iron King for example, the other day I was duo-ing with another goon playing a dex build and we summoned a pubbie for help. The pubbie was really loving annoying on whatever voice chat DS2 has so I was a little upset I couldn't have life drain patch this early in the game. Fortunately the Old Iron King hates pubbies too, the pubbie ran to the little alcove near the fog door to the primal bonfire and the king did his dbz fire kamehamea right at the pubbie instantly killing him. It was kind of a Sif like situation since the king did just do both of us a favor.

Tallgeese, is the barrel just like any armor where it has a hex code and you can hack it in, or do you need to take some extra steps to make it be wearable? I need to figure out how to have the barrel in my life.

I'm just disappointed it advertises him as Head of Vengarl but it's just the whole Vengarl. Really it should have been Sif and Manscorpion Tark, the two biggest summonable phantoms for the ultimate giant monster brawl.
