Stop close to it, just within range of the spears too close, and most of the Fire Tempest will overshoot them. During the initial casting phase of Fire Tempest, you can still move, so start casting as you approach the Phalanx. The storm should take out the vast majority of the Phalanx, leaving only a few left to be picked off with ease.Īnother method is to cast Fire Tempest with an Ascended Pyromancy Flame, then followup with the Dragon Tooth, upgraded to at least +3. You are likely to get hit a couple of times, thus why poise is useful. Two-handing your weapon, swing in to kill one or two at the front, then switch to your Pyromancy Flame, and start channeling your Storm, while stepping into the center, near the statue. Run into the courtyard, and slightly to the side as the Phalanx breaks apart. Ensure you are at full health, and if you have any, equip high-poise armor or the Wolf Ring. From the bonfire, run in, kill the Hollows guarding the door, and then on into the courtyard. Wrath of the Gods is a very useful way of dispatching this enemy as each wave of force stuns the enemy while simultaneously doing a substantial amount of damage to a large portion of them.Īn excellent way to deal with the Phalanx is to have an Ascended Pyromancy Flame and equip one of the 'Storm' spells, Chaos Storm in particular is excellent due to the lava patches left behind. These will effectively divide the group as they make their way towards the player and prevent others from attacking at range. Attacking from the direction of the bonfire puts the player behind Phalanx with several concrete blocks in the way. Even if not all of them are killed, their numbers will get cut significantly, greatly reducing their threat.Īlternatively, scattering Phalanx will make for easy pickings. Alternately, if the player has access to the Poison Mist or Toxic Mist Pyromancies, it can easily poison a large portion of them, slowly killing them with no major risks to the player. They are extremely slow moving aside from their attacks so arrows may prove effective if the player is unaffected by throwing spears. They block and deflect the majority of the player's attacks, so the better way to deal damage to them is by attacking anywhere behind the shield. Fighting all of them at once can be tricky as their large numbers mean that they can hit the player with many attacks in a short span of time.
