I never thought I would make a thread about this but here it is. I'm finding these guys much more difficult than ever before. It's weird to be honest, because last time I was on NG+2 I don't remember these guys being this hard, actually even on NG+3 they weren't this hard either.
Recently I've started a new character and got it to NG+2 in about 25 hours, however I just started fighting the four kings last week and they are horrible.
I've tried multiple techniques trying to take them on:
Roll/Dodging their attacks, it works for a good 5 seconds before they hit me once killing me instantly. I also tried blocking with the crest shield while doing this and they did the same thing but also broke my defense in the process.
I tried to tank them (bad idea I know) with full havels and iron flesh. It took two hits before I was sent back to firelink with iron flesh on.
The last thing I've tried so far was doing ranged against them because my faith and magic are low and they just spammed their grab attack, something I didn't even know they could do.
This isn't to mention the amount of health they have too, I buffed the dragon tooth with the darkmoon blade and got a hit in before I died from another OHKO, it barely did a thing. I think I hit around 500 something damage and I didn't even see the bar go down.
Please don't get me wrong with this either, I like a challenge and I've already gotten to NG+7 on another one of my characters but this doesn't seem like I'm on NG+2 as much as NG+9.
So I just have to ask is this normal for them to be this strong on NG+2?
