Belfry Gargoyle | How to defeat a boss Dark Souls II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

To those who played the first Dark Souls game, the place and the enemy will be familiar. Gargoyles protecting the tower can cause some serious problems, because of their numbers and the lack of space to move freely. After the fight begins, you will face two enemies, however you will have to defeat six of them to win this fight. You should be careful not to fall down from the roof, as it will result in an immediate death.

Attacks:

• A swing - the enemy does a double attack using his weapon.
• An aerial attack - the enemy ascends into the air and suddenly drops down, attacking you with his weapon in the process.
• Fire Breath - the enemy breathes fire (it's a good moment to attack him from the rear / back).
• A magical attack - the enemy raises his weapon in the air and summons a magical discharge.

 

Tactics:

The most important aspect of this fight, is to focus on one enemy only - if you start damaging all of them, it will result in you fighting six gargoyles simultaneously. Take advantage of the fat, that you're fighting only two of them at the beginning - rest of them will appear over time. Your best call to attack them is immediately after their swing or fire breath attacks. Fire breath lasts a long time, creating an opening for your attacks - you can hit him 2-3 times, provided that the other gargoyle won't attack you at that time. You should be careful not to fall down from the roof, as it will result in an immediate death.

The enemies have a really nasty and dangerous attack to their disposal - as soon as you notice that one of them raises his weapon into the air, get back as far as possible, as he will summon a magical discharge, which can kill you in one shot.
