While they aren't exactly powerful, they emit clouds of acid that can make short work of your equipment-which can be a real inconvenience. Corrosive Egg Crawler: These spidery-looking things might be creepy, but they're actually pretty easy to take down if you keep your distance.If you roll out of the way of their dual-sword charge attack, you can unleash a few powerful attacks before going on the defense again. These foes are huge, have lots of HP, and hit hard with two swords, so it's best to lure them (one at a time) to a wide, enemy-free area to take them down. Once you smash these, they'll be destroyed permanently, though the Sanctum Knights will revive every time you die. While these enemies are invulnerable in ghost form, you can make them visible by destroying the suits of armor nearby glowing with a red aura. In one of FromSoftware's greatest tricks, these Knights appear in the form of usually non-lethal player ghosts, and if you're not careful, you could be staring at 'YOU DIED' before fully understanding just how this happened. Sanctum Knight: Unless you know what to look for, the Sanctum Knights can really take you by surprise.Keep an eye on that green meter, and roll to both evade their attacks and reach a better offensive position. Sanctum Soldier (Sword): This variant of the Sanctum Soldier hits hard and fast, and can easily wear down your stamina if you're not careful.Hold back, and wait for them to let loose with a charging attack-if you manage to get out of the way, it's incredibly easy to slip behind them and pull off a backstab.

Sanctum Soldier (Lance): These guys have shields, which means you'll have a harder time immediately going on the offense.But watch out-they have a jumping attack that can carry them a surprising distance. Sneak in a few hits after a combo, or wiggle around behind them for a backstab. If you take them on one at a time, the Soldiers equipped with maces aren't too difficult since their weapons are colossal, it takes a lot of effort to swing them around. Additionally, some of them are poisonous (indicated by a green aura), so you'll have to keep your distance and backstab as soon as possible. Sanctum Soldier (Mace): An important note on all Sanctum Soldiers: they don't stagger easily and have lots of HP, so don't expect to brute force your way through their defenses.While it's recommended to draw them out one at a time, each variant of this soldier requires slightly different tactics. Sanctum Soldiers: These are the most common enemies you'll fight in CotSK, and they can be a real pain if you're not careful.This level also contains plenty of tough fights and hazards designed to degrade your weapons, so be sure to have a backup with you, and a few Repair Powders as well. Your milage may vary, of course, but you should be (relatively) comfortable at around level 90-100.īe prepared: enemies in Crown of the Sunken King looove poison, so be sure to have plenty of items on hand to counteract this status effect. While you can travel to this area immediately after defeating The Rotten, it's recommended to hold off on Crown of the Sunken King's content until after you pass through Drangleic Castle. If you don't have the DLC, you can place your summon sign in this area for the chance to be summoned into a special, uber-hard optional dungeon. Interact with this statue to warp to Shulva, Sanctum City, and unlock the giant door in front of you with the Dragon Talon-which is added to your inventory after purchasing the DLC. Unlike Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss, Crown of the Sunken King isn't hard to find: Once you defeat The Rotten and reach the Primal Bonfire of The Black Gulch, you should see a statue very similar to the one located in the Shrine of Winter. But never fear-below, you'll find essential tips that will help you claim the titular crown with only a few dozen deaths on your hands. Crown of the Sunken King arrived at the perfect time-just as we thought we had Dark Souls 2 wrapped around our collective little fingers, the developers at FromSoftware drop one of the game's greatest challenges right into our laps.
