Finally Beat Lud and Zallen and here is how I did it. NG+++

[Neeroke]

Ok, so first this is first, I have flame weapon, Smelter Hammer + 10 (Fire). Miracles I carried was Great Heal so I can heal the two NPCs (Mage, and Headless guy)

First to get pass the snow walking part.
Take the path opposite to the spawn area and hug the wall till you reach the cliff and toward the ice bridge. (basically if you look at the building you are supposed to go toward go right of that)
Hug the wall and straight forward till you reach the cliff so the Snow storm clears so you can walk without pressure.

The horses will be no problem since the Smelter Hammer (two-handed R2) will hit them and at Half HP (2nd Hit with R2) will cause them to eat the floor, perfect to finish them off with a final R2 (the Third R2). Take your time since its a burst attack if there is more than one just take your time. Heal after each fight if you have been damaged (I was)

once you deal with all that walking. Time for the fight

Best strategy by far is flame weapon buff and run straight at one of the tigers. ALWAYS roll under the tigers when they try to attack you. You will be placed either under the belly or right or left of the belly. You will be safe from Leap attacks and claw attacks, and some times they wont even missile you either provided that your NPCs are healthy(distraction). The only attack that can get you however are the 360 Spins, Roar, and Ice Aoe. R2 and R1's do the most two handed. Don't Use a Shield because you are just gonna get stunned and smacked when they do a 2 hit swipe combo. Heal after every damage with estus and if you make it far enough to kill one of the tigers. all you have to do is make sure your NPCs are sort of healthy. (I went to great Heal my mage for more meat shielding).

Once the 2nd tiger rages keep hitting him. If you are safe. His health regans but sort of slowly like lifegem slowly. So hit him a couple of times same tatic as b4. Always heal after every time you get hit. Heres the good part the Rage doesn't last for ever AND bounusly if he does Rage again you can get a full 3 strikes on him. (I killed him when he tried to rage again)

Hope this helps you guys.

In the end only my mage died during the rage part when the Tiger did 5 successful attacks on him. (this was when he was around 20% Hp, when I was taking ~3% of his)

You can just walk using silver talisman or chameleon and you won't get attacked, top it with seed of giants and watch invaders cry.
Always aim to kill Lud first as he doesn't have boost, you could wait for Zallen rage boost to just wear off (30 sec i think) instead of risking getting hit.

Chameleon stops the horses from attacking you?

Zallen heals during his rage boost, so if you can find a good opportunity, no point letting it go to waste. Just try to keep his health the same level it was when he started raging.

It's stops them from instantly seeing you because it silents your footsteps so you can run past those who didn't spawn facting you directly, if you have invader in world he will gain most attention :P

An alternate method of getting to the fog door is to run the ridge just to the right of the houses, but to the left of the ice wall. The trick is to almost NEVER stop running except for about 1 sec. So, run for 2 sec, walk for 1 sec, repeat. I don't know if it's just the almost always running or if it's the path, or a combination of both, but when I do that I ALWAYS get to the fog door without 1 raindeer being summoned. The only exception to this is if there are human players in the group and they do not do this, then the reindeer come. Doing this with the 2 NPC, they reindeer NEVER come, not once. Oh, one finaly point... When you get to the beginning of the ice bridge, roll into it at the dark spot where it's about a 6 foot drop. DO NOT go left and walk into the entrance. For some reason if you go left and walk into the entrance it usually spawns several reindeer. So, just roll off the cliff onto the entrance. The NPC's will catch up in a second.

As for the golum. I found it helpful to run about half way across the ice bridge then run back to the entrance but not all the way back. Just run back to where the NPC's won't fall off while fighting.

Now as to defeating the kittys... The 2 NPC summons are GREAT tanks, Vengarl much better than the other, but they both work well. As soon as you go in, throw everything you have at the one kitty the whole time. Dont worry about trying to damage the 2nd cat. Your goal is to just kill 1 as fast as possible. If you do that before 1 of your NPC's die then you are golden. Even doing this method can take a few tries do to bad luck, etc... Your MAIN priority is defense for you, then doing MAX damage on the few occasions you get to strike. Just stay focused on the 1st cat until it's dead, then it gets much easier. You do have to keep good awareness of where the second cat is at ALL times just to keep your defense up, but don't bother attacking the 2nd cat until the first is dead.
