Misbegotten warrior / Crucible Knight combo

[Yes Man]

You've got a few options before you.

1. Level up a spirit ash as high as you can. The higher the better. Anything that can tank attacks or mob an enemy will be extremely helpful. I did that fight in a level 25 playthrough using the Lone Wolves ashes and Boulders. Lots of Boulders.

2. Level yourself up quite alot. Lotta people will tell you to go there around level 70. You'll wanna be around there.

3. Take it slower and learn the attacks of the pair a bit better. The Crucible Knight will eventually fly in of his own accord during the fight so don't take too long wailing on the Misbegotten, though.

4. Can't go wrong with leveling your weapon a bit. If it's a somber weapon, there's some high level somber stones up north in the Dragonbarrow, and you can grab an ancient one from Mohgwyn's Palace if you've gotten to that point in Varre's quest.
^spoilers for a later area if you care about those

short bit down the pit that opens up after you kill radahn

I thought i have to go through these guys to access the radahn festival? I remember i was able to open a shortcut to access through there first playthrough but i have no clue how to do that now.

Nope! The Greatshield Bois are a short jaunt into Nokron within a garden to the right of the stairs you take down, once you reach the SoG and Gazebo with the Bell Bearing. beneath it.

The duo you fight is gonna be there if you don't have the Radahn Festival active. There's a few things that activate it.

The teleport gateway at bridge is not working for me this playthrough (It does in my 1st) so i took the route through the bridge where the catapult keep shooting then climb up cliff to the behind of the castle, climb up ladder and go through twin rengars, flamethrower then there's a boss gate wher the twin is right near bonfire. That's the only available route for me atm.

I always go for godrick, then renalla, then do the ranni quest, and that leads you straight to caelid and the radahn fight. did not know the order mattered.

I beaten Rennala, Loretta, met ranni and she just told me she'll gone slumber soon. Once that's done i reached caelid and to the bridge infront of the castle. First playthrough its as you say i can just use the teleport and go straight inside the festival meeting. But in my 2nd the teleport just straight up not available although i done everything in the order you mentioned. It's just weird

Festival = Port is active. Festival over = Port is disabled. I think if you use it one time, it stays active after the festival is over. If your first playthrough was some time ago, I think some bugs associated with this have been fixed.

Kill the Misbegotten by the door.
It gives you time for the Knight to run over.
It's not much, but a few seconds can turn the 2v1 into two 1v1s instead.
At RL 40, you may not kill him quick enough, but the more damage you deal before it becomes a 2v1 the better.

I think you can stunlock the misbigotten guy with a whip, he has like 0 poise
