      SkullMinePro git gud. Abyss watchers is one of the easiest bosses in souls. If you REALLY wanted to, you can just walk backwards and roll the entire first half and let your boss partner do all the work. Then just the exact same thing for his second half. Walk backwards and roll to the side and it’s easier than pinwheel

      Here's a partial list:
      -Corrupted the Flare Witches by giving them access to the Profaned Flame
      -Knowingly gave his outrider knights cursed rings that would turn them into slavering beasts
      -Kidnapped the daughter of a royal family, and forced her to serve as a "dancer"
      -Inducted said dancer into his outrider knights, gave her the cursed rings, and exiled her
      -Accelerated the corruption of the Deacons of the Deep
      -Fed Gwyndolin to Aldrich and imprisoned Yorshka (and possible intended for her to meet Gwyndolin's fate as well)
      -Recruited the insane inhabitants of the Profaned Capital to serve as his personal jailers (those filthy, health-draining jailers...)
      -Corrupted the Way of White for his own purposes
      -Though not explicitly stated, it's implied he was responsible for convincing Prince Lothric to reject his duties and instead watch the First Flame die out
      In all, I guess Sulyvahn is the real villain of Dark Souls 3.

      I love how he's tucked away into the (almost) middle of the game, seemingly as a random stepping stone to your next achievement. It speaks volumes of how he was significant in terms of damage and misdeeds, but insignificant in terms of worth and might and value. He wasn't a Lord of Cinder. You don't need him or his soul to accomplish anything. He was just another Heir of Fire, and you kick his ass and move the hell on.

    I love the fact that Sulyvahn not just tries to protect us from PVP by sheer force, if you pay attention you see the first thing he does in the fight is to buff both of his freaking weapons to give us a demonstration of what we have to endure in PVP if we continue our journey after his jolly church. But when we don´t take him seriously he even goes so far as to literally ripping himself apart to show us what it´s like to be ganked. He makes so many honorable sacrifices (ಥ﹏ಥ)

    Pontiff Sulyvahn is one of the most evil bastards in the entire franchise. He caused untold suffering and created countless monsters, all to further his own power. Yet, unlike almost every other enemy you encounter, Sulyvahn is not a mindless beast, mindless hollow or corrupted abomination. He is an extraordinary man, one who used his sharp mind and silver tongue to usurp the city of the gods. For all his atrocities and cruelties, Sulyvahn is the only person in this dying world who was still able to accomplish great things. And we slay him because he stood in our way.

    beat this tonight, took me about an hour of attempts. i was using the black knight greatsword. i almost beat him about 30 minutes into the attempts but i choked and got killed when he had 2 hits worth of health left. Was tough with the great sword, if i didnt have a lot of experience from playing ds1 and part of ds2 and part of demon souls i can tell you i probably would have been stuck on this for like a week lol. I'm not gonna lie to you, i raged a lot trying to heal or get out of range only for him to fly over and start beating the shit out of me with a 3000 hit combo. Circling around him definitely seems to help a lot, dodge rolling directly away seems almost pointless with his sword range and speed. Definitely try to kill his clone as soon as you get the chance and take your free 2 hits on the shadow clone as he creates it but back away after that animation because he will tear you apart with the double offensive. hold the shield while you're circling around him too like in this video and dodge roll whenever appropriate every so often while youre shielding and circling so he doesnt break your shield. As you can see in this video, some of his attacks will just go right over your head. Best of luck everyone!

    Is it strange that the Abyss Watchers took me over 30 attempts to kill, but I nailed this guy on my 4th try? I don't know, people say he's difficult but I actually found him pretty easy.

      Chris Dempsey I killed them both on first try? And it was my first time playing who knew I was such a savage

      it was the opposite for me. I beat the abyss watchers on the 3rd try (being aggressive, not letting them fight each other) and this guy took me 9 or 10 tries. I bet him using that ice straight sword that you get from the miniboss guy, +2. I like it because it's fast and causes frostbite, but in retrospect I could have brought a much better weapon to the fight.

      Pontiff is definitely way harder but the abyss watchers are no joke either

      I beat the abyss watchers on my like 3rd try and pontiff on my first because the red eyed watcher went after me as well so it was a 3 v 1 on fast ass enemies like them, which is way harder than fighting multiple gargoyles or multiple giant sentinels

      I beat Pontiff and Abyss Watchers both at 2nd try but they were very close fights.

    Learning to parry this guy is so satisfying.

    I watched the boss fight with the music "You Goddamn bathead" from Castlevania in the background. It definitely fits this fight alright.

      Castlevania Chronicles (PS1) right? I love the soundtrack of that game.

    The perfect timing on that:
    The last hit on Pontiff was all the last part of the song, the perfect combo and ending
