Gaining access to Volcano Manor typically requires that players acquire both pieces of the Dectus Medallion or venture through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, across the Altus Plateau, and up Mount Gelmir. However, all of this can be circumvented by dying to a grab attack from the Abudctor Virgin found below the water wheel elevator in Raya Luca

After riding up and defeating the magical archer, continue around the left side of the keep. Once you reach the rear of the keep, you’ll come across two Flame Chariot enemies sitting against the wall. Between them, you can loot the powerful incantation, Flame, Grant Me Strength . After approaching the central pile of burning bodies, several will rise from the pile and try to explode on you (you can loot six smoldering butterflies off of the corpse on the fire). This battle can prove extremely challenging, so if you’re having trouble acquiring the incantation, you’ll be able to approach the incantation from a different angle shor

The fourth brazier can be dangerous to retrieve. It is located east/southeast of the third brazier, up a wooded path, and on the edge of a climb . The path to it is littered with Ancestral Follower Spirits, and more notably, the archer variants. You’ll spot a group of three walking up the path toward the brazier, but the archers are hidden in bushes and behind trees in the surrounding area, and they have pinpoint accuracy. Your best strategy here is to either sprint and panic roll up the hill to light the brazier before you die, or you’ll need to carefully pick your path, eliminating the Ancestral Follower Spirit archers along the way. This stretch is extremely difficult if you find yourself under-leveled. If you are, it might be worth coming back later when you’re more powerful in order to reduce frustrat

After he accepts the dagger, you cannot proceed to the next step in Fia's questline until you obtain two Great Runes . It is recommended that you get these ruins from Godrick the Grafted and Rennala, Queen of the Full Mo

This attack is similar to the previous one. The Lion Guardian leaps high into the air, its paw blade high in the air hangs for a bit, then slams into the ground. This attack does have an element of tracking to it, so you’ll want to time your dodge right as the Lion Guardian crashes down. If you do, you’ll have the opportunity to attack a few times before the Lion Guardian leaps away again. Be careful , though: If you end up directly behind the Lion Guardian, it will drag its blade around itself and spin-attack you before leaping away. If you notice sparks , that’s the time to do

A hand-drawn 2D indie Soulslike, Salt And Sanctuary impressed critics with its tight gameplay and the depth that went into its art design, gameplay customization options, and even its story. The game loyally translates Dark Souls into a 2D style and many even compared it favorably with the series that inspired

You’re ready to drop down to the courtyard below, but before you do, aim to land on the platform just below the staircase—you’ll spot a burning brazier down there. If you miss the platform, you can always return later, after battling the Lion Guardian. From this platform, head through the archway and into the dark room beyond. Inside, you’ll discover a chest containing the Katar fist weap

A sequel that completely changed genres from what Warcraft had already been presenting, WoW introduced massive multiplayer elements that converted the franchise into the ultimate collaborative experience. The game is still beloved 18 years after its initial release, because of unending support by its developers and the eternal embrace of its f

The Lion Guardian Rears its head back a bit, its left paw lifting off the ground. It will then bite forward, then quickly swipe its head from right to left and then left to right with follow-up bite attacks. This move can be difficult to avoid due to the quick attacks. You’ll want to dodge to the right, then left, then right in order to avoid each attack. Once this three-hit combo completes, the Lion Guardian will be vulnerable before transitioning into its next m

french_bulldog_wearing_a_red_harness_4-1024x683.jpgHead back to the top of the stairs, looking down into the courtyard with the pacing Lion Guardian. Strike at the railings to break them, allowing you an easy run-and-jump to the platform below and across the way. Once you reach the other side, follow the stairs down, along the outside of the fort, to reach a corpse with ten Mushrooms on him. Follow the path back along the rampart until you reach a flaming brazier. Right next to it, blending into the stone is a lever . Pull it to unlock the main gate to the f

Not only does its rough, heavy-hitting atmosphere and main character give it its own distinctive charm, but it's considered quite a bit easier than the Souls series. Though the game has a significant learning curve for players unfamiliar with the genre, equippable armor and relatively easy-to-learn bosses mean it's not an insurmountable challe
