  • Thanks. I finally managed to get him this morning! Just barely won though. 23 HP left, Estus flask empty and used an Ember for healing late in the fight… One Ashen flask left. Used the Pestilent Mist strategy in combination with Sunlight Spears and Tears of Denial (which triggered twice, I think, during the fight) – cast using Crystal Chime+5 and unequipped my sword to stay under the 70% weight threshold. 8 Estus / 7 Ashen Estus split. SL143. Ring of the Sun’s First Born, Morne’s Ring, Sage Ring, Estus Ring. Dragoncrest shield (for fire defense) + Crest shield (for Dark defense) that I meant to switch to for the second phase, but didn’t. Armor was a random collection of whatever seemed like it might help – most significant piece was the Winged Knight Armor; I look really goofy. Started game as Deprived and played early game as Dex fighter before switching to mostly pyromancy mid-game. Highest stat is currently 40 Faith – I did some grinding to get there from 35 to free up a ring slot for an earlier strategy that didn’t work. (The 3 guys who drop down on top of the Archive are worth about ~21K souls each with my best grinding gear equipped and are vulnerable to Rapport – best grinding location I’ve found so far.)

    I’m sure the guys who live and breath this game will be like “Lol, git gud scrub” but it’s my first playthrough and I’m just happy I managed to pull it off at all. :p






  • Thank you. It seems to be working now.

    I remember having a devil of a time trying to get mlmym and lemmy to talk to each other on my local system when I was poking around at trying to fix some issues in mlmym a few months back. (I should really get back to that at some point…) They had “https://” hard-coded in front of the domain name parameter – and I didn’t want to have to change the Go source code just to get a dev environment up. I ended up working around it by modifying my hosts file (to add a .INTERNAL domain), ran things under podman with host networking, configured Apache on the host to reverse proxy into both containers, and set up a self-signed cert that I had to rebuild into the mlmym docker (by copying in the appropriate crt files + running update-ca-certificates via the Dockerfile). In retrospect, I probably should’ve just modified the code…

    What was the workaround you had to implement to fix this one?
