Thats lie.

On the left is Giant with archers, imposible...

On the right Horseraiders, they imposible now

In centrum is military camp, i completed that sire, thats ok,

On south there is shore, I completed that one....

So only option left, is that Fire cave near lake...

which proof my point, its not open world... you need to randomly find place to lvl up...

so I am omw to Fire Cave

The intended route, according to NPC quest progression:
Go south, Cross the bridge (of sacrifice). Clear the (morne) castle.
Once you cleared past the bridge, you'll never come back here ever again.

Go east until you reach a dying looking area, then southeast and clear the next castle.

Then you should definitely be strong enough to clear the main castle in Limgrave. If not, avoid it via a semi-hidden cliff pass on the east of the castle and do some of the lake area.

Also, level Vigor. Learn the enemy movesets and your attack and dodge timings.

He won't always hit you. You want to dodge toward the back of the horse. With the right timing you will dodge and be set up for an attack.

Anyway, found a shield, and I tried to block that rider, what it does, it just delays death, it doesnt take rider from the horse....

You should practice your parry timings.

if u want to fight him on foot, a large spear is very effective

You are a very weird man, but I wish you good luck.

attacking on horseback is boring, using it to travel is not

The tree sentinel? You can get some poison arrows and a bow, use your horse to climb on top of the ruined church, and then snipe him with the bow. A few applications of poison (wait for it to wear off and then start shooting again) and he's dead.

No, you can get on your horse and rider past 90% of enemies without having to fight them. Then you can do one of the techniques to farm runes and level up.

So parry must be timed? I cant just parry all the time?

Personally, I find it really easy to beat it without taking a single hit. This doesn't mean everyone will but you've been given the advice already on how to avoid most of the boss' dmg even if you can't handle his right side.

Originally posted by Xengre:

If it is the normal trash mob horse riders charge attack, preferably a thrust like a sword for the extra range. It will stagger them then back up and repeat. Easy kill.

If it is the Night Rider Cavalry boss then they're very weak on their left side so try to roll to that side for nearly free damage as they rarely punish in that direction and they can't side ram that direction (no idea why they can't, so dumb lol). Their right side can be hit as long as you play it safe but you risk being side rammed.

Some free hits when it rears up. Also when behind it more free hits if it jumps at you. Just hit it 2-3x per trade and then back off if you can't handle staying close to them long.

If you mean the Tree Sentinel straight out of tutorial before Church of Ellah, if you can't beat it then just come back later. That boss is significantly stronger than the other bosses in that region. One of the reasons it exists is to teach you that you don't have to kill something right then and there if you are struggling. Come back when stronger.

So no, you don't get horribly wounded. Of course, you can always sneak attack it like others mentioned and I believe there is a skill that can even pull them off to stab but I'm not sure which skill it was so you would have to look it up (I think it is gravity related tho).

Yes, it has to be timed otherwise you get hit and fail to parry.
