2 years later watching this and when I try to beat the level I get invaded by Kirk!!! What a legend honestly, still playing after all this time and invading the same level 29/06/2020 edited - oh my I genuinely thought it was a person back then now coming to realise that half the people in the comment thread agree with me and the other half are playing along to troll. Im so sorry everyone
@@emperorborgpalpatine I'm right there with you boyz! Faced the deacons without any direction before bed tonight....all those souls just waitin for me in the mornin
FOR THOSE FOLLOWING THE WALKTHROUGH..THIS WILL HELP IF YOU MISSED PATCHES AND FOR SIEGWARD QUESTLINE - Buy the tower key and Patches will lock you in firelink after getting the fire keeper soul and going back down the elevator as if you were going back to firelink. Next time you rest at a bonfire patches will appear as an NPC in firelink and you can buy Siegward's armor and give it to him down the well outside the cleansing chapel bonfire to continue his quest! Fextralife does not mention this being possible but it is!
So here’s the thing I bought the tower key before I met patches and got the fire keeper soul before meeting patches and he does not lock me and does not appear in the shrine anyone know how to fix this??

The deacons of the deep has another mechanic where if you take to long, it'll make the room go black and you'll start to get slowly cursed. if you fully get cursed, you will die instantly, that's why some of the dark things are going up instead of towards the boss.
the gates exist so that you can lock in the giants you lore thim in and then close it and gtfo and they will stay there and you can take whatever loot you want you dont have to kill them...
not everyone completes the play-through with 100% of the existing loot in the game so it makes sentence that they will be a lot weaker than what is shown in this video and there is a big chance of them dying, besides if souls is want you want you can just go farm souls in one of the easy spots to do so instead of spending a lot of time dying to the giants
It would be a viable option if the giants weren't so laughably easy to kill. It's actually a very nice level design idea, it's a pity it's such an opportunity wasted on those blokes.
Warning: You need to keep going through the cathedral and talk to patches after opening the shortcut at 12:00 (instead of boning out as shown). Patches will then trick you as you walk across the bridge. From there, bone out or go straight to the covenant as shown in the walkthrough and he will be there on that side of the bridge as a merchant. You will need to buy the onion knights armor off of him.
As for the quest portions of the cathedral. You will have to return there after beating the Deacons(requires you to help out onionbro in undead settlement fighting the demon). Go up to the middle passover (should be automatically risen at this point even if you never went to rosarias fingers) there you will find Patches giving you promises of great treasure beyond the passover(that bastard stole onionbros undies). Even if were not stupid id say we go along with it. He will then lower the drawbridge at the halfway point, inciting the giant to attack you(if its already dead you just get a unique dialoge), kill it, then proceed back to the main bonfire, take the lift back up to the roof section and drop down to patches(alterantively teleport to the rosarias fingers covenant). At this point Patches can already be used as a vendor so if you got about 15000 souls buy the catarina set from him, if you havent 15000 you will have to buy the key for firelinks upper part(20000 souls) and once more meet patches at the top most part of firelink. He will trap you again but you can jump down using either the lefthand coffin route or the right hand side ledge with the firekeep set on it. Once back down at the shrine you will find patches inside at the right side top floor. If you forgive him hes unlocked as a permanent vendor(and has som unique options regarding another firelink person). However you choose to obtain the catarina set is up to you, but bring the set back to the crossway bonfire at the cathedral. Go out the frontdoor and you will notice a well to the left, approching the well will promt a dialog with onionbro. Return his armorset to him and he will be thankfull while explaining he will be able to get out of that predicament on his own. The Onionbro questline then resumes at a later stage of the game. Sry for poor spellling/grammar/typos.
You DO NOT want to activate the Bonfire in Rosaria's Bed Chamber at any time before Patches appears. Doing so will cause him to leave, even if you crossed the bridge. I know, I had that happen to me on my last playthrough on my strength build character.
Just a minor correction When you exit the cleansing chapel from the main door the well is to the right, not the left. You can also kill patches and take the whole armor set. Take his ashes and give to the shrine handmaiden so she will have all his items as well.
Be wary that if you join Rosaria's Fingers...Sirris will leave the Firelink Shrine and her quest will end prematurely. I recommend joining this covenant after you help Sirris in her world, in order to receive the Silvercat Ring. The quest lines in Dark Souls 3 are very dependent of each other and very easy to mess up.
not gonna lie one of my favorite times of the year is playing blind and then going thru dark souls with you . I appreciate the time and effort you put in . makes the game alot better man thanks
just in case you didn't know, you can use alluring skulls in the deacons boss fight to distract the rest of the deacons, so you can focus on the red glowing one.
Where was this information when i needed it? I had to upgrade the Mercenary Twinblades just to have a weapon that could do sweep attacks! Good to know, thanks!

The reason the bridge is raised at 20:30 is because it's a trap set by ye olde Patches. As usual, he'll encourage you to walk over it, but he'll insta-lower it, trapping you with the giant.
@@tinybear7277 I did that. I used the agro to trap the giant. So I was killing him very slowly, while he was getting up and down every time. I was too scared to fight him standing up
I was stunned when I realised how easy this boss is compared to the ones before. Honestly Crystal Sage nearly gave me PTSD then this is just ridiculously easy
Actually the Crystal Sage is not that hard. I see there is pattern of spawn places, you can see my boss fight vid and playthrough, only die one. My first playthrough tho
Oh man, that shortcut at the beginning when you were fighting Kirk - soooo easy to miss! If it hadn't been for this video I would've gone insane trying to open that second door to the cleansing chapel bonfire, thank you dude.
Hey I just wanted you to know that I absolutely love your videos and really enjoy playing alongside them! The walkthroughs are fun and it's like talking to my buddies while playing. Keep going man~
+Zombie Headz Yeah, i've read that, i'm not up to that part yet, i just mean i've followed Coboy's walkthrough, but i'm still a Tongue short. There's obviously, one i've missed, but not knowing where i missed it means i don't know what vid it's in. haha :-) x
That and the jump are the most bullshit controls ever in a game... I got used to it in DS1 but in DS3 they changed it so having a hard time getting used to it...
I was using Kirk’s armor rolling around the deacons damaging them with the thorns and also healing up with the butcher knife. That was actually pretty fun
Dude your walkthroughs have saved me so much time and frustration during my first play through of this level and in DS3 in general. I got lost so many fucking times before checking this out. This was my first Souls game but now I am obsessed I'm on my NG+ now (decided I'm buying a PS4 my next paycheck for BB for example). The awsome people of the soulsbourne community like you, not the douche "git gud" ppl helped all the noobs like me stick to it and not give up hope! To me this was one of the hardest levels just in terms of design and amount of enimies( those fucking goblins jumping on me every time I was duking it out with a knight or evangelist). Thanks for all your awsome videos man. Your commentary is so laid back and chill too. Really appreciate what you do.
For anyone coming back to these videos at 23:52 you can see Anri's summon sign to the right of Cowboy and if you go that way a little further you can also summon Horace
You’re one of my very favorite RUclipsrs. I love how in detail your guides are. I feel like I’m listening to an old friend of mine speak. Keep up the good work brother. Thank you!!
Also note that with the pale tongues part, the two Darkwraiths near the Abyss Watchers can drop pale tongues so you don't have to get the last two tongues via PvP.
I know these videos must have taken a crap ton of work on your part, but this is hands down the best Walkthrough series I've ever seen. I'm loving it and it's making my own playthrough far more enjoyable.
might be worth mentioning that if you dont kill the deacons fast enough she builds cursed up on you with no way to dodge it, effectively wiping you within a time limit
This is the first time I’ve been stuck on DS3, not in difficulty, but I was sooo god awfully lost I had to watch this and the 2 previous videos to find where to go 🤣🤣 very well articulated and helpful, Thankyou.
the 3rd gate goes up when you open the back doors, or the "front doors" that you encounter when first reaching the cathedral. if you cross then you can encounter patches wearing stolen siegward armour. patches will then be at the other side and you can buy the armour to return to siegward, who is in the well just outside of the cleansing chapel door
If that weapon is great for that boss fight. Try using Farron Greatsword + healing ring. It is just insane. Really insane! I didn't have to do anything else than spam LB the whole time. That weapon does have a massive AOE attack and range. I was all the time at full health.
+Palo Tove I didn't remember the name of that ring before. It's Pontiff's Left Eye and it Recovers 60 HP with successive attacks (randomly heals user). With a Farron Greatsword huge AoE L1 attack, the ring heal really nice (at least in this boss fight). You need the Soul of Vordt of the Boreal Valley to get this ring. Sold in Firelink boss weapon vendor.
Oh crap, just noticed you're bleed meter maxed out while you were opening a door, and due to i-frames you didnt take any damage, that's pretty cool. It's @21:45.
@@_Dacor well i normaly play ofline so i dont have to worry about invaders and i started farming at farron keep in the swamp theres a bonfire with 3 enemies on the bridge. kill them then turn to the right and youll see the 3 giant tree enemies hit them with a bow and then use pyromancy on them takes no time at all so in about 1 or 2 hours youll have 2mil forgot how long cause iv already beaten the game 3 times. when your strong enough to 1 shot the silver nights in anorlando on the stairs then its alot faster
@@sorcorer23 thanks a lot! I also always play offline, I'm still on my first playthrough I want to concentrate on the game itself without other people attacking me. Well, I'll probably use your technique when I got that far, I often farm the darkwraith on high wall and then shoot the wyvern so she blasts all the enemies together with the lothric knigt, I get more than enough souls from killing them and selling all the stuff. Sometimes I also farm the rats at dilapidated bridge in undead settlement. But they only give 600 souls/run, so it's more of an early game farming spot. At SL 60, where I am, it won't help me much for leveling, but when buying a few things it's pretty neat. You also get many deserted souls there, so even more souls to that.
You missed a NPC not gonna say who but where the gates stop when you pull the two levers after beating the giants go up to the leve! Where you can cross them NPC will be there
+Ghost 187 i came across the NPC then left him alone left him alone to follow this walkthrough but now i don't know where he is. do you remember where he's at
I do actually recommend selling or using boss souls, especially if you've played the game through a few times. Or what I should say, I recommend using or selling those that don't give rings, miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies. The reason for this is that there's no achievement/trophy for collecting every weapon, but there are for the rings, miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies. That's just me though; lots of players like to have all the strongest weapons. The reason I said sell them is that there's a little known fact about the soul items. You can actually sell them to the Shrine Handmaid for the value you get from crushing them. Makes using the items a little easier, though you can crush multiples. That is unlike Bloodborne; in that game, the value of Blood Echoes you get from crushing the crystallized blood items is more than what the Bath Messengers give you.
If anyone is having trouble with the deacons you can use alluring skulls during the second phase to draw the other deacons away from the main guy giving you space to wail on him, two skulls is enough
I tried playing dark souls 1 and unfortunately my pc stopped working so my brother got me this amazing dark souls 3 (console) , but he told me I would struggle a lot being a Skyrim only player so I decided to follow your walk-through since I already know your channel and all, but gosh it's difficult to keep up with you! Hahaha I became a hollow and I thought in this game this was not possible, then I cured myself with a fire keeper souls now I came here and well, dying so so much but I'm having so much fun. Thanks for the videos.
Dude, you misses the boss setAfter killing the boss, sit at the fb and get the set in front of the huge coffin And there is also a patches/siegward quest Line in the catedral that you didnt say anything
Just a note: the big dark ball thing applies curse if you don’t kill the blue deacons fast enough. However instead of casting this the second time they will fill the room with curse. Failure to kill these fast enough will just result in instant death.
Patches is the reason that second gate was up before you got there, but it looks like Patches himself wasn't there when you got up there. He lowers the gate on you to trap you with the giants, but if you've already killed them, he has a line of dialogue about "Wait, Where'd that sleeping giant go?", then he fucks off. I know, because I just spent an hour looking around for how to raise that gate again just to discover I can't; I have to go back to the Cleansing Chapel and take the opposite shortcut up to the roof and drop down to the other side. Pretty dumb and frustrating, I wasted a lot of time looking for that second gate lever that doesn't exist apparently
This video is six years old but thanks to Elden Ring I’ve been getting into the Souls series. That being said, maybe the useless shortcut is meant to trap the giant?
so I found something interesting at 8:19 you mentioned you don't know the use of that second lever you pulled? it's a way to get rid of the second giant if you don't feel like fighting him you can lure him in there and then close the gate on him and he won't be able to get out.
I’m here after sekiro which I never would’ve beat without you prolly which would’ve never prompted me to play dark souls either thx for doing this it got me over the intimidation of playing of these games that I heard were so difficult
Still wondering what happened with your souls in this video once you killed Kirk. You had 6751 when you killed him. He gave you +3300 yet you ending total was 29840. What happened there?
Avi Jha Went back and watched both videos. He had 5955 souls when he first died to kirk. Then he collected his bloodstain and had 6751. Then ran to the Bonfire, killed Kirk, game said +3300 but he ended up with 29840. So no, I think you explanation is wrong.
Really enjoying your walkthroughs. Was using wolf knight's greatsword but switched to the butcher knife for deacons, that plus pontiff's left eye made it a ridiculously easy boss fight.
I found out: Do you know the guy at Crucifixion Woods, the sorcerer ? If you have 10 INT you can make him go with you at the Firelink Shrine. Get 2000 souls for Spook and go at the elevator, use Spook and Voila !
well i started watching looking for the respec lady at video 9. 3 videos and 3 hours later at 21.55 - here is the resarios covenant. But I learned so much about the zone thanks man lots of hard work
I know it's 7 yrs later.. but just wanted to say that those gates that "don't make sense" are, I figured, to lock the giants in place if you didn't kill them first. Idk, since I did kill them first, didn't have a chance to try that theory lol
+FiGhTiNCoWBoY Why did I see Onion Knight here in the Chapel up on a ledge talking about treasure across the Lever bridge? But he isnt in your walk through here?
i came to the comment section to ask this very question. In DS1 patches boots you off a bridge mid way through just like here. He does it apparently if you get to a certain point in the game before crossing a predetermined checkpoint as a way to dissuade you from advancing. I was worried that was what happened here...
patches didn't show up because the giant was already dead. he lowers the bridge to get you killed by the giant which is actually the easier way to kill it, because you're not stuck in the sludge for the fight, but can roll around in the clear water
Pro tip: look up Patches questline before going to the Rosaria's fingers bonfire, otherwise it skips the first interaction and gift, as happened in this playthrough.
The third bridge is raised by Patches, he wears the onion knight armour. I killed the boss before trying to get across the area and he tricks you into getting stuck with the giants.... except I had already killed the giants so not really sure what the point was lol
I recently started playing this game, and have been trying to do as much as I can without any help from guides. I ended up cheesing both giants. The first one I just kept peeking out the entrance (eye level for him) and shot off 20 bolts, 20 firebombs, and a few arrows before he went down. The second one was much easier. If you start running and jump before the sludge, you can go a long ways pretty quickly, then just roll to the corner with the stairs and once you get on the stairs the giant will sit back down. There are a couple enemies to kill on the stairs, but after that just step out and hit the giant a few times and run back onto the stairs. Rinse. Repeat. SUPER EASY SOULS!
Love what you're doing here but ive been finding items that you haven't even shown in the walkthrough, I love the walkthrough and im kind of glad that you don't show us exactly everything, its a surprise for me when I find an item you haven't shown yet
What happened to your soul count? you had like 6751 souls when you killed Kirk, you got +3300 for killing Kirk and after he was dead you had 29830. Did I miss something or was that some sort of bug?
you can buy the onion armor for patches and drop it down the well in the second bonfire to the guy that was useing it ( forgot his name ) i did this :P

OnlyFails ikr? It’s beautiful.
@@arjunbagga2009 I liked it, its different, its cool
I love how the game's control scheme allows you to kick when you want to stab and stab when you want to kick.
Fucks me over every time - that's Dark Souls bullshittery for you.
That and the jump are the most bullshit controls ever in a game... I got used to it in DS1 but in DS3 they changed it so having a hard time getting used to it...
I still don't know how to kick
cowboy i understand u dont need to summon npc for ur build. but can u at least show us where to summon sign is?
kalok chan it's right outside every door before you enter the boss area.
Buzz Lightyear Did 9/11 thank you
I was using Kirk’s armor rolling around the deacons damaging them with the thorns and also healing up with the butcher knife. That was actually pretty fun
You are hands down the best at making these walk thoughs. You are so meticulous and yet fun about things. I really appreciate it!
Dude your walkthroughs have saved me so much time and frustration during my first play through of this level and in DS3 in general. I got lost so many fucking times before checking this out. This was my first Souls game but now I am obsessed I'm on my NG+ now (decided I'm buying a PS4 my next paycheck for BB for example). The awsome people of the soulsbourne community like you, not the douche "git gud" ppl helped all the noobs like me stick to it and not give up hope! To me this was one of the hardest levels just in terms of design and amount of enimies( those fucking goblins jumping on me every time I was duking it out with a knight or evangelist). Thanks for all your awsome videos man. Your commentary is so laid back and chill too. Really appreciate what you do.
For anyone coming back to these videos at 23:52 you can see Anri's summon sign to the right of Cowboy and if you go that way a little further you can also summon Horace
Thx man
I mean his walkthrough is good but he doesn't show you everything like a walkthrough should
Cowboy is the best content creator for walkthrough's for the dark souls franchise, imo
You’re one of my very favorite RUclipsrs. I love how in detail your guides are. I feel like I’m listening to an old friend of mine speak. Keep up the good work brother. Thank you!!
Dark souls is very mentally straining. Sometimes a good lunch break isn't a bad idea. This could apply to any high stress game.
Definitely one of the best walkthroughs I've ever watched. Super helpful, thanks!
After you kill Kirk, it says +3300 souls, but your souls went up from 6000 to 29000... What the hell happened there?
+Mös l'Orange Sorcery!
I also saw that! Wtf happened there?!
Maybe he has a ring that gives you more souls
KiIIasoft then that ring is op
Bump bump bump, I want answers
This is my first time playing dark souls and to be honest I doubt I would even be playing if it weren't for this walk through so thanks for your work.
Also note that with the pale tongues part,
the two Darkwraiths near the Abyss Watchers can drop pale tongues so you don't have to get the last two tongues via PvP.
I have learned so much from this guy, and not just where things are. Very good work.
I spent SOOOO much time farming those nights for their armor and weapon/shield. worth it. not the best for a tank build but looks good.

@@senorsoloq yeah I feel you man lmao
@@senorsoloqdamm old comment
I know these videos must have taken a crap ton of work on your part, but this is hands down the best Walkthrough series I've ever seen.
I'm loving it and it's making my own playthrough far more enjoyable.
might be worth mentioning that if you dont kill the deacons fast enough she builds cursed up on you with no way to dodge it, effectively wiping you within a time limit
This is the first time I’ve been stuck on DS3, not in difficulty, but I was sooo god awfully lost I had to watch this and the 2 previous videos to find where to go 🤣🤣 very well articulated and helpful, Thankyou.
The ledges you walk on remind me of Anor Londo in DS1
the 3rd gate goes up when you open the back doors, or the "front doors" that you encounter when first reaching the cathedral. if you cross then you can encounter patches wearing stolen siegward armour. patches will then be at the other side and you can buy the armour to return to siegward, who is in the well just outside of the cleansing chapel door
If that weapon is great for that boss fight. Try using Farron Greatsword + healing ring. It is just insane. Really insane! I didn't have to do anything else than spam LB the whole time. That weapon does have a massive AOE attack and range. I was all the time at full health.
.
+Palo Tove I didn't remember the name of that ring before. It's Pontiff's Left Eye and it Recovers 60 HP with successive attacks (randomly heals user). With a Farron Greatsword huge AoE L1 attack, the ring heal really nice (at least in this boss fight). You need the Soul of Vordt of the Boreal Valley to get this ring. Sold in Firelink boss weapon vendor.
+Palo Tove You can get it from the king in firelink shrine that sells all the boss weapons
nice tip, tx !
you transmute vorts soul into it so you have to defeat teh curse rotted great tree to get the boss tranmuting kiln whatever its called to do that
You encounter Patches with the levels. He's back!
Oh crap, just noticed you're bleed meter maxed out while you were opening a door, and due to i-frames you didnt take any damage, that's pretty cool. It's @21:45.
praise the doors for making us invincible while opening them
Placid Flunky I mean we get super strenght while opening them why not super immunity to damage as well
Aaron Lucas why do you need to use @ why not at
Riz Mighty slang.
Happened to me before
8 years later this is still a w ass walkthrough helped me so much
Seeing someone wander around with this many souls on them is giving me so much anxiety.
currently walking around with 270230 souls lol and by far not my highest. while grinding i get over 2mil before going back to level lol
Me, wandering around with over 100k souls in undead settlement and road of sacrifices:
Is it that bad?
@@sorcorer23 dude, where tf do you farm and how long does it take you? 2mil would be insane!
@@_Dacor well i normaly play ofline so i dont have to worry about invaders and i started farming at farron keep in the swamp theres a bonfire with 3 enemies on the bridge. kill them then turn to the right and youll see the 3 giant tree enemies hit them with a bow and then use pyromancy on them takes no time at all so in about 1 or 2 hours youll have 2mil forgot how long cause iv already beaten the game 3 times. when your strong enough to 1 shot the silver nights in anorlando on the stairs then its alot faster
@@sorcorer23 thanks a lot! I also always play offline, I'm still on my first playthrough I want to concentrate on the game itself without other people attacking me. Well, I'll probably use your technique when I got that far, I often farm the darkwraith on high wall and then shoot the wyvern so she blasts all the enemies together with the lothric knigt, I get more than enough souls from killing them and selling all the stuff. Sometimes I also farm the rats at dilapidated bridge in undead settlement. But they only give 600 souls/run, so it's more of an early game farming spot. At SL 60, where I am, it won't help me much for leveling, but when buying a few things it's pretty neat. You also get many deserted souls there, so even more souls to that.
Bruh I don't know why but my skills while playing this game and watching you at the same time makes me like a dark souls veteran.
You missed a NPC not gonna say who but where the gates stop when you pull the two levers after beating the giants go up to the leve! Where you can cross them NPC will be there
+FiGhTiNCoWBoY patches pulls a prank..the usual :D
+FiGhTiNCoWBoY i got an armour set after that boss.
+David Bull me 2
+Ghost 187 i came across the NPC then left him alone left him alone to follow this walkthrough but now i don't know where he is. do you remember where he's at
+FiGhTiNCoWBoY I'm wondering if you can link your guide it would be helpfull
I just want to thank you for uploading a whole Dark Souls 3 Walkthrough it’s very helpful and appreciated 👍🏻
26:47 it applies Curse rebuff that fill over time and when it gets 100% full it's insta death
I do actually recommend selling or using boss souls, especially if you've played the game through a few times. Or what I should say, I recommend using or selling those that don't give rings, miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies. The reason for this is that there's no achievement/trophy for collecting every weapon, but there are for the rings, miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies. That's just me though; lots of players like to have all the strongest weapons.
The reason I said sell them is that there's a little known fact about the soul items. You can actually sell them to the Shrine Handmaid for the value you get from crushing them. Makes using the items a little easier, though you can crush multiples. That is unlike Bloodborne; in that game, the value of Blood Echoes you get from crushing the crystallized blood items is more than what the Bath Messengers give you.
Is he not doing quest lines ?
If anyone is having trouble with the deacons you can use alluring skulls during the second phase to draw the other deacons away from the main guy giving you space to wail on him, two skulls is enough
I feel like those extra gates are to lock in the giants
yep lock and cheese
I tried playing dark souls 1 and unfortunately my pc stopped working so my brother got me this amazing dark souls 3 (console) , but he told me I would struggle a lot being a Skyrim only player so I decided to follow your walk-through since I already know your channel and all, but gosh it's difficult to keep up with you! Hahaha I became a hollow and I thought in this game this was not possible, then I cured myself with a fire keeper souls now I came here and well, dying so so much but I'm having so much fun. Thanks for the videos.
The gates can be used to trap the Giants buddy
David H 😂
Why not just kill them?
These videos have been helping me find my way around this confusing place, thanks!
Dude, you misses the boss setAfter killing the boss, sit at the fb and get the set in front of the huge coffin
And there is also a patches/siegward quest Line in the catedral that you didnt say anything
Just a note: the big dark ball thing applies curse if you don’t kill the blue deacons fast enough. However instead of casting this the second time they will fill the room with curse. Failure to kill these fast enough will just result in instant death.
Patches is the reason that second gate was up before you got there, but it looks like Patches himself wasn't there when you got up there. He lowers the gate on you to trap you with the giants, but if you've already killed them, he has a line of dialogue about "Wait, Where'd that sleeping giant go?", then he fucks off.
I know, because I just spent an hour looking around for how to raise that gate again just to discover I can't; I have to go back to the Cleansing Chapel and take the opposite shortcut up to the roof and drop down to the other side. Pretty dumb and frustrating, I wasted a lot of time looking for that second gate lever that doesn't exist apparently
Thanks
he's on the other side waiting for you tho
This video is six years old but thanks to Elden Ring I’ve been getting into the Souls series. That being said, maybe the useless shortcut is meant to trap the giant?
Dude you beat the Sh!T out of the giant! Literally
He should hv killed the giant when he fights with his hands ......... tht is hard but more fun and realistic .......
Rahul Verma stick you you’re broken straight sword no hit runs
@@rotaderp88 i dont hv tht much patience 😅
Rahul Verma Me too haha
so I found something interesting at 8:19 you mentioned you don't know the use of that second lever you pulled? it's a way to get rid of the second giant if you don't feel like fighting him you can lure him in there and then close the gate on him and he won't be able to get out.
I tried that, bit he doesn't come that far
@@AnimeCentralHub tis no easy task
" PEOPLE OF THE CATHEDRAL PLEASE LEND ME YOUR ENERGY!! "
Dont know why I didn't realize how easy this fight was. Once again Mr cowboy, legendary walkthrough guides as usual.
You should also have explained that the guys that chant in the boss fight can also curse you if you wait to long, which is an instant kill.
I’m here after sekiro which I never would’ve beat without you prolly which would’ve never prompted me to play dark souls either thx for doing this it got me over the intimidation of playing of these games that I heard were so difficult
Still wondering what happened with your souls in this video once you killed Kirk. You had 6751 when you killed him. He gave you +3300 yet you ending total was 29840. What happened there?
Cut camera, then farmed?
He had like 27000+ when Kirk killed him in the last video - recovering those souls is what gave him the huge bump.
Huh...
Avi Jha Went back and watched both videos. He had 5955 souls when he first died to kirk. Then he collected his bloodstain and had 6751. Then ran to the Bonfire, killed Kirk, game said +3300 but he ended up with 29840. So no, I think you explanation is wrong.
Barron Lane Wooo you're like a spy bruh
Really enjoying your walkthroughs. Was using wolf knight's greatsword but switched to the butcher knife for deacons, that plus pontiff's left eye made it a ridiculously easy boss fight.
Gate could be used to trap the Giant if he's giving you a lot of shit?
+1 , i think they will patch up giants later...
Qserx they are still easy even on first playthrough
Thanks for the walkthrough! Was stuck on this for a long while, could never find my way around.
Right before the boss that elevator. Mine isn't up. And when I pull the level it says it doesn't work. How do I get down ?
+Ivory Towers Same shit here, bro. I still didn't find out.
I found out: Do you know the guy at Crucifixion Woods, the sorcerer ? If you have 10 INT you can make him go with you at the Firelink Shrine. Get 2000 souls for Spook and go at the elevator, use Spook and Voila !
just jump down the elevator shaft to try and hit the button. if you do the elevator will be up when you respawn
I really want to know too
@@BenDover-qo6lg awesome thanks
7 years later and still useful guides
2:05 in kirk fight how come you have 29.815 souls when you had 6751 and kirk gave 3.300 souls. im confiused and really want to know..
Kirk killed him last episode so most of it is the souls he lost
not sure, I think it was a glitch since he already picked up his souls
For a split second, I thought that the elevator wasn’t there at 11:08 and my heart skipped a beat.
When ds3 crossovers dbz and they start making a genkidama
Thx for the great videos keep it up my man
If you reload the game after beating the deacons (or go back I assume) you can get the Archdeacon Set.
+Alec Spencer all you have to do is touch the bonfire and it will be there also.
well i started watching looking for the respec lady at video 9. 3 videos and 3 hours later at 21.55 - here is the resarios covenant. But I learned so much about the zone thanks man lots of hard work
How do your souls increase so much after killing the invader?
I know it's 7 yrs later.. but just wanted to say that those gates that "don't make sense" are, I figured, to lock the giants in place if you didn't kill them first. Idk, since I did kill them first, didn't have a chance to try that theory lol
Any better place to farm for embers other than the lothric knights close to the beginning?
+FiGhTiNCoWBoY Why did I see Onion Knight here in the Chapel up on a ledge talking about treasure across the Lever bridge? But he isnt in your walk through here?
+ErinMercurial He didn't do his side quest.
***** ...Siegwards quest line. That's his name.
i figured it out...it was Patches...but curious why he wasnt their in Cowboys run since I followed cowboys entire run to that point.
i came to the comment section to ask this very question. In DS1 patches boots you off a bridge mid way through just like here. He does it apparently if you get to a certain point in the game before crossing a predetermined checkpoint as a way to dissuade you from advancing. I was worried that was what happened here...
patches didn't show up because the giant was already dead. he lowers the bridge to get you killed by the giant which is actually the easier way to kill it, because you're not stuck in the sludge for the fight, but can roll around in the clear water
After defeating the giants, why no go straight to the boss instead of doing all that other stuff? Did you get something mega important that i missed?
I see you commenting on every video haha
The covenant that allowed you to respec your levels.
Ive fallen down that place with the knights 20 times now
20:55 that's why i'm confused, didn't you meet patches? Cause i did, and he raised those gate before.
Pro tip: look up Patches questline before going to the Rosaria's fingers bonfire, otherwise it skips the first interaction and gift, as happened in this playthrough.
Video commentary of this guy is just amazing!
The third bridge is raised by Patches, he wears the onion knight armour. I killed the boss before trying to get across the area and he tricks you into getting stuck with the giants.... except I had already killed the giants so not really sure what the point was lol
I recently started playing this game, and have been trying to do as much as I can without any help from guides. I ended up cheesing both giants. The first one I just kept peeking out the entrance (eye level for him) and shot off 20 bolts, 20 firebombs, and a few arrows before he went down. The second one was much easier. If you start running and jump before the sludge, you can go a long ways pretty quickly, then just roll to the corner with the stairs and once you get on the stairs the giant will sit back down. There are a couple enemies to kill on the stairs, but after that just step out and hit the giant a few times and run back onto the stairs. Rinse. Repeat. SUPER EASY SOULS!
You missed the armor of thorns set right before the last bonfire.
Love what you're doing here but ive been finding items that you haven't even shown in the walkthrough, I love the walkthrough and im kind of glad that you don't show us exactly everything, its a surprise for me when I find an item you haven't shown yet
What happened to your soul count? you had like 6751 souls when you killed Kirk, you got +3300 for killing Kirk and after he was dead you had 29830. Did I miss something or was that some sort of bug?
+sugminrov I was wondering the same thing.
Thank you for this walkthrough, because of it, i have been really enjoying this game!!!
In my playthrough the Onion Knight lowers the bridge trying to set me a trap. Then he asks "where are the giants?".
Lol that just happened to me
Same
same this happened to me and I'm not sure if I did something wrong
No. He gets killed by a wandering trader.... I have onion knights armour i bought it off the merchant.. What a bastard.
you can buy the onion armor for patches and drop it down the well in the second bonfire to the guy that was useing it ( forgot his name ) i did this :P
Its fun how this bossfight is easier than almost everything you have to do to actually get to it.
