@HallowMoonshadow @colonelkilgore @BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN In true Souls/FromSoft fashion, Fume Knight went down much easier after I took a break away from the game for a day. Going back in refreshed last night, I was able to fell the foe on my third attempt, and in hollowed form with an HP bar penalty and solo without NPC summon assistance!
Once I got the rhythm of dodging to my right for the first phase and then to the left for the second phase, and not panicking when the second phase happens and his UGS gets buffed, well it was just much easier with a little less fatigue and a better state of quicker mental and physical reaction timing and anticipation. I also utilized the Simpleton ring, which makes you invisible during the dodge roll and I think it also adds a couple i-frames in the process, which is critical in this fight. Either way, he’s dead and the old iron crown is mine.
Unfortunately, it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire now with Sir Alonne. I didn’t have time to make it all the way to him and much to my chagrin it appears that he’s another one with a long trek from the bonfire to the fog gate through numerous tough squads of enemies.
