      i mean the warp at the end basically requires doing dancer early. you don't kill her early to get +9, you just have to get her out of the way so that the room is clear. otherwise killing aldritch would teleport you to the dancer fight which puts you at a huge risk to lose the teardrop glitch.

    He used Iron Flesh as a defensive tool before considering using a shield. This truly says a lot about Dark Souls 3 shields.
