Dark Souls 3 - Soul Level 1 Guide Part 7 - Aldrich & Dragonslayer Armour (Info in Description)
0Scroll down for important Timestamps and other things.
1:06 You don't need any Twinkling Titanites for this run, only Scales
2:49 Easterner's Ash - Large Titanite Shards purchasable for 4000
4:25 Always time your rolls appropriately
7:43 Aldrich, Devourer of Gods [Boss] - Lloyd's Sword and Shield are helpful here, but can be negated easily due to Aldirch's soulmasses, especially in Phase 2
7:55 His torso takes full damage, the sludge part takes half
8:05 There are 6 pillars in the room. Depending on which side of the middle 2 pillars you are standing on, Aldrich will teleport to the other side. If you're towards the fog wall, he'll teleport to near the Gwyn statue
8:13 Slash - Overhead is one of his most common attacks
8:22 If he slides into the ground, that's Phase 2
8:47 Yes, the teleport can hit you
9:10 Bad RNG. Teleport - Soulmass - Teleport
9:23 Dodge at the last second to evade Lifehunt Scythe
9:26 Or not... Dammit.
10:00 Bad RNG again
10:03 To avoid the arrow rain in Phase 2, just circle around a pillar for a few seconds
11:53 Buy some Titanite Shards & Large Shards if you want to level up the Raw Dragonslayer's Axe. Chunks will be purchasable later
14:13 This allows you to not aggro the Drake/Wyvern the first time. It also allows you to cross the courtyard without them breathing fire on you
14:38 To the right is a Raw Gem, can be used on DS Axe
14:48 try to clear out all enemies in here as they can be annoying. Take out the Firebomb guys first
15:11 Pull the level
15:32 That item is 1x Titanite Scale
15:49 Mimic Chest - 3x Titanite Scales
15:55 Pale Pine Resin used on Dragonslayer Armour
16:32 You don't have to kill the Abyss Beast, but making it appear kills the drake/wyvern. Also both Abyss Beasts drop 2x Embers and 2x Chunks, but can drop 1x LTS
16:40 Buff with fire, then throw Firebomb to stun. Attack while stunned then back away
17:29 1x Titanite Chunk
17:37 1x Titanite Scale
18:22 1x Titanite Scale and RTSR
18:52 This elevator goes down to Lothric Castle/Dancer bonfire
21:43 Use Charcoal Pine in Phase 1 to save Pale Pine for Phase 2 as you only have 3
21:50 Dragonslayer Armour [Boss] - The Armour is very agressive and lighting-quick. Stay one your toes for this one
21:56 His first attack is usually a Shield Slam
22:04 He can slash twice, then overhead. He can also slam his shield behind him, so watch for that
22:14 He can also combo his shield
22:24 Lighting Slam can hit you if you're behind him, but only if you're touching him. Keep a little distance and get some hits in
22:30 Phase 2's hit box is the same as the Lightning Slam
22:36 His first Phase 2 attack is always a 2-handed one. Either it will be a slash and projectile, an upward slash and overhead follow-up, or a horizontal slash that's almost 360 degrees. Interestingly, these 3 attacks are the only ones that are parryable
22:46 His shield will now coat with lightning
23:00 Also in Phase 2, the Pilgrim Butterflies will interfere. The have 3 attacks: 1) Meatball Barrage - annoying 2) Giant Meatball - damaging and 3) Laser - similar to Midir's laser. I have no idea how they telegraph their attacks
24:10 The projectile can go through the staircase
24:52 1x Titanite Chunk
27:52 1x Titanite Chunk
28:20 Knight's Ring is absolutely necessary for my Halflight strat. Also it's needed for the DS Axe
29:24 3x Titanite Scale - You should have about 15 by now
30:10 Grand Archives is annoying. Usually I sprint past everything and/or kill the Crystal Sage
30:55 Wax: On if you want to
31:40 Hitting the Sage will make him teleport to the bridge
31:45 Honestly, fuck those Flamberge Thralls
31:53 Curse hands damage you if Wax: off
32:04 Shortcut lever
32:10 Bullshit tracking
32:18 Bullshit
33:40 Bullshit again
35:30 Hit to make teleport
35:40 Safe strats
36:15 3x Titanite Scales
36:50 PARKOUR!!!
36:55 Trying to not aggro the Lothric GS Knight who also uses Blessed Weapon
37:40 Undead Bone Shard (Last one!)
38:05 Advice? Run past the gank squad and go down elevator (or send it down)
38:55 Estus Shard (last one!)
39:18 Hunter's Ring - Needed for DS Axe
40:14 Shortcut!
40:18 For some reason, on 1.30, if you haven't killed the Abyss Beast in the wyvern, it will die when you go down this elevator. I have no idea why, or even if it still does this
40:50 Go down for Titanite Slab
41:12 You should (maybe) have enough for a +10 Raw Dragonslayer's Axe. Equip the Hunter's and Knight's Rings and two-hand
43:18 Grave Warden's Ash lets you buy a few Embers
