You’ll get points of entry after they do charged or smash attacks, and they all have relatively low poise and are weak to parries, if you can pull those off. Dodge the attacks and try to take out the lesser soldiers, because they have lower health but will still deal damage and make it harder for you to get hits in on the actual boss. Number one: do it like a proper honorable player and fight the boss without cheating. Given these circumstances you have two choices. You’ll only get two of these guys alongside the boss at once, but the second one to resurrect will aggro and attack on everyone in the room (and it can be useful to have summoned an NPC or another player to help spread the aggro around a bit). The kicker is that after a few seconds more soldiers from the Undead Legion corpses lying everywhere will start to resurrect, with the exact same moveset and damage as the main boss (this fight may start to feel familiar if you have already beaten the Crystal Sage). The Abyss Watchers are repped by one guy, as we said, who has a greatsword as well as a dagger, so the attack sweeps are wide but, in the first phase, are fairly easy to avoid. This boss will do fire damage in his second phase so prepare for that with whatever items you have that can boost your resistance to fire. Start at the Keep Perimeter bonfire and hug the right hand side of the path, which allows you to avoid most of the enemies and get straight to the boss room, which is just up the hill, although if you want to summon help for the fight the NPC summon sign is back down the stairs a little way, which will probably mean pulling a bit of aggro.

This is a pretty easy run through, thank goodness. This is your first official Lord of Cinder boss fight, too! Only three more to go after this one! And all the other bosses too, obviously. We’ll be honest, we’re not really sure whether to say ‘him’ or ‘them’, because the Abyss Watchers’ soul passes from one body of the Undead Legion into the next constantly, and always fighting itself, but when you fight it it’s definitely in one body singular, so we’ll go with ‘him’ for now.
