Dark souls 1: Pyromancy run: Part 5: Crossbreed Priscilla and the Daughter of Chaos
0S'up? Join me as I run through Lordran, this time with trying to beat the game with only Pyromancies, although there are issues......
The Painted World of Ariamis is easier with Pyromancies. The Bloated heads don't explode poison when killed by pyromancy and their close ranges strikes make it easy to kill enemies. Fire Surge is a nice pickup. Xanthous King Jeremiah is found here and has fire resistance but can be overcome without too much issue. Iron Flesh helps with the Bonewheels but you'd be better off with the wolf ring or high poise armour.....
Fire Tempest and Chaos Storm are pyromancies that deal damage over large areas, making them suitable to take on Crossbreed Priscilla. The fireballs and chaos whip are also nice for this reason. Combustion is also effective once Priscilla is visible.
I offer 30 humanity to the fair lady to open up the shortcut to Lost Izalith. Most of Lost Izalith can also be skipped in this fashion. Flash sweat and strong fire resistance armour can help you get past the lava without the Charred Orange Ring. The true boss of the area for a pyromancer is the Daughter of Chaos you find before the Bed of Chaos fog gate. She is extremely resistant to fire-based damage. You'll need power within and all the fireballs and combustions to beat her. Any other pyromancies lack the number of casts necessary to kill her.
The main path I recommend is:
Firelink, get RTR. Beat Taurus. Free Griggs. Get Wolf and Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring at some point. Beat Capra. Free Laurentius. Buy pyromancies. Beat Gaping Dragon. Visit Quelana at some point. Beat Quelaag (with summons). Give 30 humanity to the Fair Lady and the rest of the run is as normal.
Main NPC's this run:
- Laurentius (Upgrade pyro flame and pyromancies)
- Quelana (Upgrade pyro flame and pyromancies)
- Eingyi (Upgrade pyro flame and pyromancies)
- Fair lady (Open shortcut and two chaos pyromancies)
- Dusk (To get Dusk crown if necessary)
- Griggs (To get Bellowing dragoncrest ring, as it works with pyromancies)
Issues:
Quelaag, Ceaseless and the Centipede Demon are immune to fire damage. Black flame seems to deal a split damage of fire and physical but it isn't available until you beat Ornstein and Smough.
Quelaag can be poisoned and toxified. However, you need more than pyromancies to do this (without skips or glitches). You might eventually be able to beat her in some new game plus cycle when you get enough copies of Black flame, or Toxic mist, etc. Otherwise Maneater Mildred is a decent summon that can beat Quelaag if you act as bait.
Ceaseless can be whacked 5 times once he is holding onto the edge with Black flame. Otherwise, 5 normal punches will do it. Punches with the pyromancy flame won't work though.
Demon Centipede can be avoided by giving 30 humanity to the Fair Lady and opening up the path where the titanite demon is on the bridge. You can access the bed of chaos with a flameplate ring, flash sweat and the Gold hemmed, black set to cross the lava. Otherwise, you can follow Solaire's questline and he can be available to summon to fight the Centipede Demon, with you acting as bait.
