About 1.5 years ago I made a video where I killed all the NG+7 bosses for the first time and it was with my SL120 sorcerer, so I wanted to do it again but this time as a pyromancer only using pyromancies (only exception being Tears of Denial, so it doesn't turn into a no hit challenge at the same time, because I wanted to use a glass cannon build). It's nothing super impressive or anything of course, I just figured it might be interesting to watch. I definitely want to do it with miracles as well and maybe with melee or bows only too at some point. And the possibility of me doing it all again but at a higher level for max DPS still exists too (and then I won't use Tears of Denial either) but since it already took me this long to make another DS3 video, first things first. ^^

As with my sorcery run I didn't want to cheese the Ancient Wyvern and chose to fight it in the same area again and I also did not reduce the Greatwolf's health by fighting it earlier in the DLC. This time I didn't bother with the minibosses though, because I think they're not that interesting. If you want to watch the sorcery video as well, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xynZRc-Fz0 Some bosses were definitely easier as a sorcerer compared to a pyromancer (most notably Yhorm) while some were much easier as a pyromancer (most notably Aldrich). Overall I think it was pretty much the same in difficulty, just with a slightly different approach for each scenario. Sorceries have more range and home in on enemies, but pyromancies have faster casting times on the high damage attacks and larger hitboxes.

If I had to pick the 3 most difficult bosses for me during this run again, this time it would be: 1. Friede 2. Yhorm 3. Demon Prince
Demon Prince and Friede were overall just difficult bosses again, but I definitely struggled with Friede the most. Yhorm took for ever though because the way pyromancies travel makes it a very rare occurance to hit his head, so it became kind of an endurance test. His complete immunity to fire damage also meant I wasn't able to try something like Profaned Flame, which might make it easier to hit his head. Also the Midir fight was pretty messy and I took a lot of hits, but that's because I actually did it on my first try, so he's definitely not on the list. Overall, pyromancies or not, I find Midir much easier than some other bosses in the game. He's just annoying (like all dragon bosses in Dark Souls).
