BOSS TIPS
Abyss Watchers:
Phase 1: Two watchers fight each other as often as they fight you. Use one watcher to distract the other.
Phase 2: His fire trail lingers for 3 seconds. Roll through the fire at the moment it spawns to avoid it entirely.
Pontiff Sulyvahn:
Never fight both clones simultaneously. Aggro one clone at a time by standing directly in front of it.
His grab attack starts with both arms raised. Roll backward immediately when you see both arms lift.
Soul of Cinder (final boss):
Phase 1 rotates through 4 weapon movesets. Watch his weapon transform to predict the next pattern.
Phase 2 mirrors Gwyn from Dark Souls 1. Parry his standard sword attacks for 40 percent posture damage each.
