"Iron Keep (Part 5 of 7): Old Iron King Boss"—Located at the end of the Iron Keep, in a sea of lava, this boss is a large flame-wielding behemoth that attacks with various flame attacks. Fire protection, stamina recovery, and a flame-resistant shield are recommended for this battle. The boss is weak to lightning and can also be poisoned.
This gamechive contains two versions of the battle, as a means to capture the boss' full range of attacks.
The Great Soul of the Old Iron King is received for defeating this boss, and a Primordial Bonfire can be lit afterward. This soul can be traded with Weaponsmith Ornifex (in Brightstone Cove Tseldora) to obtain the Iron King Hammer weapon at the cost of 5,000 Souls. On NG+ and above, the Old King soul is also received, which can be traded with Straid Of Olaphis (in the Lost Bastille) to obtain the Blinding Bolt and/or with Weaponsmith Ornifex (in Brightstone Cove Tseldora) to obtain the Dragonslayer Greatbow weapons, each at the cost of 10,000 Souls.
