didn't play much in June. Started it up today. Went to Dragonlord Placidusax. Tried two, three times. First phase just melt with Comet Azur, second phase seem to get hang, but sometimes the swipe out of thin air one shots me. Lost interest, turned off console.

I'm just a little bit ahead of you. I'm at the Brace of the Haligtree and there is some giant creature guarding a doorway. Very difficult getting to him with enough potions left to attack. There has to be a site of grace nearby. I stopped using the internet. Will hunt around more tonight.

You are right behind me, bro. You use Comet Azur? I don't use anything stronger than Glintstone Cometshard. Comet uses too much mana and doesn't hit that much stronger than the Cometshard. Comet Azur takes way too long to cast and uses too much mana.
When I'm exploring a new area I like those Glintstone knives that hover over your head because they will hit enemies you don't see coming and its usually strong enough to break their poise and then you can use Adula's Moonblade to really do some damage.

What lazr? I've been trying to kill her with mimic tear ashes, adula's moonblade and bloodhound step ash of war. I spent last night picking up bloodhound step (still getting used to it) and the hidden cerulean tear (I didn't know about that one until you mentioned it (I don't like it because it only lasts for 15 sec)).
I think tonight I'm going to get the great ghost glovewort to max out my black knife tiche ashes and try that instead of the mimic tear.
I got excited about the hidden cerulean tear until I realized it only lasted for 15 seconds so I'm going to go back to my go-to mixed physick which is reduced damage + increased resistances (makes you tanky as fuck).

Comet Azur. It's stupid OP with the Hidden Cerulean Tear.
What do you mean only 15 seconds?!?? That's a long time for no fp cost. Comet Azur channels and without it burns through your fp bar in like 2 seconds. You're getting like thousands of free fp worth of damage in those 15 seconds. If you're using other spells I can see what it's lackluster.
Tiche is a lot better than mimic. The bleed is so useful. She's practically soloing the boss.

Black knife tiche, Adulas moonblade, bloodhound step and defensive mixed physick that I popped at the beginning of the second round after I skated out of harm’s way.

It definitely helps, but she still gets it off a couple of times before the frostbite sets in. You can only get a couple hits of Adula off before she turns from your ashes to you. With Adula's Moonblade you have to make sure you aren't in mid swing when she comes after you. BHS allows you to keep ahead of her (you have to keep skating across the room because she follows you for a long time). Once she stops following you she will turn back to your spirit ashes and you can get to Part II.
I think the frostbite buildup might stick through the cut scene because once I skated out of the way and popped my defensive mixed physick, she melted pretty quick. IIRC, I finished her off by spamming Adula the one time.

Made it through first end boss which was pretty easy. Now I'm on Godfrey. Might be able to get him tonight. Going to have to tinker around with my equipment a bit, but I think I can do it.
