This move comes quickly, easily catching you off guard. The Fire Prelate rears his head back and slams it down into the ground ahead of him. It doesn’t do a ton of damage, but it can quickly set you on your heels before whatever move he tries out next. When you recognize this, try dodging toward him to the side so that you will end up slightly behind him, able to get a couple of attacks in before he recov

From the Church of Pilgrimage, head south. Down the hill, you’ll find a rocky outcropping on the right; atop this outcropping, you should spot one of the familiar statues holding a candle. These statues are dotted across the Lands Between, and they point toward nearby dungeons. Activate this statue, and it will point you toward the Tombsward Catacombs. You can find the entrance just to the south of the statue, built into the side of the great hill that leads up to the minor Erdtree. The entrance is behind the right pillar of a crumbling arch

Upon reading each class' stats, most players would immediately recognize that the Vagabond stands out. Boasting extremely high starter numbers, it is no wonder why so many fans love the vagabond. That being said, there are still two areas where the Vagabond truly shines. A Very high health pool (vigor,) and a massive strength level instantly place him under the " tank " categ

To play in a more tank-like fashion equip heavy armor, great swords, and shields. Unfortunately, this will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the dodge-roll, but your shield should make up for it. It is critical however that you keep an eye on your stamina when playing this way, as getting staggered will leave you extremely vulnerable.

Realistically, the Golden Seed is the only keepsake that should be considered. Any other item becomes obsolete very shortly into the game. However if necessary the stonesword key can be relatively use

The hallway ahead turns to the right, and you’ll spot a flame pillar trap at the far end periodically shooting a stream of fire down the passage. There is an alcove on the right side of the next passage which you can duck into for safety. When the stream of fire dies down, sprint down the hall and duck into the alcove on the right. A skeleton will form from a pile of bones in the alcove, so be ready for a quick fight. Just outside the alcove, you will spot an item on the ground. Interact with it in between gouts of fire to receive five Human Bone Sha

You’ll eventually spot a church up on a hill to the north. Head to the Church of Pilgrimage to rest and grab a Sacred Tear. Don’t forget to chat with Melina while you’re resting here! You can also find one of the Walking Mausoleums in this area , so keep that in mind once you’ve finished with Tombsward Cataco

The Cemetery Shade doesn’t have a massive health pool, but it makes up for it with erratic teleportation movement. He wields dual blades which cause Bleed buildup , so it’s important to keep your health topped off. If the Bleed triggers and you’re already low on health, it could mark the end of the encounter for you. Otherwise, strike when you can. He has two main moves to be extra wary

Keep in mind, it is not advised to try to use magic as the Vagabond. However, for players who truly want some sort of incantation or spell available, it doesn't make a difference whether you choose to pursue faith or intelligence . Both are going to be equally difficult to build. That being said, there are a multitude of early intelligence-based spells, and only a few early spells that are faith-ba

Soft Cotton temporarily reduces potential fall damage, and the sound of your landing. This item is beneficial for both exploration and stealth if you need to drop near an enemy quietly. You're able to carry 99 Soft Cottons, and that would be just enough to start exploring this massive open wo

Otherwise, head to the fort’s main entrance. Most other enemies you can simply ride or sneak past, but you’ll want to deal with the lone Fire Monk camped by the fire pit at the entrance. Once he is dealt with, head up the walkway entrance and enter Fort Laiedd and the challenging encounter that awaits

Once you enter the interior of the fort, and the Fire Prelate notices you, he will immediately erupt in flames . The bowl atop his helm will begin spewing fire all around, and this will last for a little while into the fight. The fire isn’t likely to hit you when you’re close, but it’s more intended to catch you at middle range . This is meant to keep you close, where the Fire Prelate can do the most dam
