If it's the room I'm thinking of (the one that also has the ashen statue), there are a few things you can do. For one, knock as many of the barrel carriers into there as you can. More likely than not they're wander over to the smelter golem, and his lava will blow them up doing decent damage, possible taking out other enemies. You can take out the archer above by entering from a side door, and from there you can also snipe some of the enemies. Genocyber fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Aug 29, 2014 |

Or you can use the guys carrying the barrels and just wait the the big headless guys gets near one. Spewing lava should do the trick to one shot his rear end.

Hipster Occultist posted:How do I do the dlc room with the big headless guy and the four armored skeletons? Climb partially down the ladder to aggro the guys and then pick them off with a bow. Also, on the way down (just down the ladder near the water jars) there's a break in the bars; look carefully and you can see explosive barrels blocking a door with the sniper behind it. Shoot the barrels with a fire arrow and head over there to kill the sniper and use his spot to pick off more enemies.

Relying on the barrel guys and flamethrowers was kinda neat. Didn't have to do it, but if you did it was pretty natural feeling. God knows how anyone found their way around those towers when they were in use though.

Shoot the barrels with a fire arrow and head over there to kill the sniper and use his spot to pick off more enemies. I saw a message to attack the door, which knocks the barrels out of the way and let's you open the door. That room is pretty cool. I chased a bunch of barrel dudes into there and then let them mill around. Once they were near the armored guys I threw a firebomb down there and it killed everyone but the big guy. The big guy isn't any harder than one of the larger giants, like the ones in the black gultch. Leadthumb fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Aug 29, 2014 |

Basically in the room with the trapdoor I just sniped everybody below with my bow until it was just that archer left. The barrel guys just kind of mosey around so it wasn't a big deal. In fact, I used my bow way more times in the IC DLC than any other portion of the game.

It is amusing that Nashandra is now an even bigger joke than before, since thanks to the hollow mask melee characters can get right up to her without worrying about curse.

Paracelsus posted:Bows seem to be the safe way to handle many areas in Bruma, but it can get really tedious even with fully upgraded bow, 40 Dex, RoB, and Flynn's. It wasn't TOO bad since I had stocked up on Magic Arrows before hand, takes about 5 shots to kill the knights, maybe 4 if you get headshots. This is with an unupgraded bow and like 40 dex. EDIT: The giant knights took like 15 shots of Magic Arrows.

That's what you can do already, as long as you dodge her slow rear end attacks. Is there some passive curse aura on her I never noticed?

Purely anecdotal but I've never been able to consistently hit those things, regardless of the weapon I'm using. It's kinda frustrating.

Smornstein posted:Most enemies in the DLC do for that matter. It takes four dark orbs to kill a barrel dude at 35 int with the Dark BWS +10 (or I can poke them with my dark claymore or dark roaring halberd and make them explode because Truest Dark is apparently really flammable). So far not really regretting taking 30 points out of int, faith, and attunement and cramming it into endurance, strength, and dexterity.

I feel silly to be asking this about the base game of all things but how the hell do you reliably fight your way to Velstadt, anyway? I've managed to git gud enough to mostly-reliably parry the guards and it's still a really tedious process where you're just running in circles half the time. It's all well and good when it's just one at a time but most of those fuckers attack you in a phalanx and you just can't melee them like that. Stone Ring isn't enough to poise break them and of course the shields block everything (and always count as up unless they're actively attacking).

Stone Ring isn't enough to poise break them and of course the shields block everything (and always count as up unless they're actively attacking). When they do their combo, they are ALWAYS vulnerable after the third swing. Use the mace and backstab them, or just get some hit in. If you are not melee, just throw dark orbs or pyromancies at them from far away, so the won't block. Luring them into lingering flames drops them down into low HP. When it's two coming at you, make one attack and back up, the other will attack and you can hit the second one before the first one is ready to attack you again. There's always poison arrows too. I usually use the mace for that hallway personally. I don't know where the game crosses the line upgrade wise, but I have always been able to kill them in one backstab with the mace on my melee characters. You can make your mace +6 or more by that point easily, and have like 25 str. I think that is enough to one-shot them with back stabs. edit: to me that hallway is a stamina check for melee characters. You have to have enough to be running around and rolling and attacking, and still be able to roll away. I can't speak for casters. Everytime I make a caster I end up just using buffs and melee-ing anyways hahaha! Leadthumb fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Aug 29, 2014 |

Enemies have aggro groups and if you aggro one you aggro all, irrespective of distance. Same problem with slogging all the way through the priestesses from the middle Amana Shrine bonfire only to get gang banged by the Lindelt Clerics and die right at the end.

You could try to make a Beeline for Agadyne's summon marker and get him to help out. There's also the NPC summon for Amana who will take aggro while you walk through the fog wall to the bonfire.

Are you confused about which area he's talking about? The group only aggro as a whole if you go all the way to the fog gate and even then a couple of them hang back just to guard it. The easiest method to deal with them is something like the Mace, because the one-handed R2 stuns them. The Mace, if you judge how soon you can get and its effectiveness, is basically the best weapon in the game.

I don't think you get twinkling from the Lair of the Imperfect. I'd say ascetic the giant memories, you can get 3 and an ascetic from one of them pretty sure. But if you have trouble with giant lord don't do that I guess.
