Lost Bastille #2

The prison cell area the boat drops you off at is only around the corner from the original part I had explored thus allowing me to check out my explosive+cracked wall =shortcut theory. And what do you know it worked :D It leads to another bonfire and a blacksmith (who’s in need of an ember).

I was feeling fairly confident as my +4 Greatsword wasted the Royal Guards even as they piled in in number. The 3 sentinels were a different prospect though, especially alone. The first guy is hard enough on the small ledge but when the two others enter the fray all bets are off. In one sense I’m glad as it’s the first testing boss in the game. Excluding my rustiness with the Last Giant, I’ve had no bother with the others.

I gave them a few goes as a phantom but struggled every time. I’m gathering they have an elemental weakness as they seem to have high physical defence. After about 5 times entering the boss fog as part of a threesome and getting nowhere I decided to go back to the drawing board.
