Tree boss coop owns

He's just a loving pain to take down normally but absolutely trivial with 2 people

it's funny cuz me and another buddy were helping a third bud do it and kept getting stomped.

i beat it first try solo despite using 4/5 estus on the first phase. second phase you just have to run around until he stands up, get on his left side, and whack on the arm when he's on the ground.

On this topic, can we agree that the chain-axe enemies there are the most BS enemies in the game? The whole game has some issues with enemies attacking through stuff while your attacks bounce off of everything, but those guys were the worst. I had one axe-snipe me straight through a wall while I was going for a sip. Also in general I hate the way that the game will drop your lock on if a monster so much as dips behind a corner, but they keep right on attacking you through geometry. :argh:

they're easier than the little ones with daggers.

Also, I have a friend who says that he found Chameleon on a corpse, even though he didn't level up with the pilgrim 5 times and so that other NPC didn't show up after the pilgrim died. Everything I'm reading online says that finding Chameleon is predicated upon that NPC showing up (so, you had to have levelled up with the pilgrim 5 times before entering the catacombs)

If there's anyone else who finds Chameleon WITHOUT that other npc showing up please let me know.

yes, i looted one late in the game (from an optional area if i remember right) and i didn't do poo poo with him (and you loot it off a dead pilgrim).

you can pull them one at time without any ranged weapons, the shield ones won't run at you anyway.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

The easiest way through that health-draining conga line is to just wait for the gap and jog or walk (not sprint) along the side of that wall as they go around. Their visibility is pretty poo poo, so you can just slip right past. Just be careful of the rear cell on the left side, because there's some enemy in there that will scream and alert them all if you go in it.

you can lure them one or two at a time back to where you came in and clear em out pretty easily.

Cool game! 30 hours in and I've just killed dancer of boring valley.

I have to say that I expected the game to be a lot harder than what it has been thus far. I'm playing with 1 hander + shield and basicly 99% of attacks and spells are blockable so as long as you have enough stamina to keep the blocking up during enemy combo you're pretty much immortal.

shields are easy mode duder.
