Let’s Illustrate Dark Souls Part 11: How Magical

Fault has been doing a surprisingly good job of carving her way through the road of sacrifice without dying every three steps so I decide it’s time to head to the next boss. On my non-gimmick file I got lost and didn’t fight this boss until much later in the game when I was severely overpowered, so fighting it at the level I’m supposed to is actually kind of nice and gives me an opportunity to see all of the boss’s attacks! On the downside I wind up dying half a dozen times or so before winning but by Luck Knight standards that’s a roaring success.

Anyways, the boss here is a big old wizard who shoots you with crystal magic and teleports away every time you land a good combo on him. When he gets low on health he’ll start summoning clones that die in a single hit but spam magic attacks until then. Try to avoid getting caught in their crossfire and don’t get so focused on hitting the true boss that you neglect to watch your back for clones firing surprise crystal lasers.

This is actually one of the clones. The real boss is RIGHT BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW!
