Castle of Storms strategies?

[4coursemil]

I've been at this for like an hour and I can't seem to make it to the sanctuary, does anyone have a good strategy for the castle of storms? The damn emberskulls get me every time.

Use a strike/blunt weapon. You can roll trough their attack, they dont burn you that way. Most likely you should be able to 1 shot, at least 2 shot them with a strike weapon.

Hit the emberskulls as they approach, if you have the right weapon you can kill them before they actually attack.

Try not to fight them at the same time as other enemies. if you aggro a bunch of stuff just back off and take out the emberskulls first (they'll chase you a long way and they're faster than most enemies).

Also remember that you don't actually have to fight every enemy to advance, there are some places you can just avoid them.

Wearing armour with high fire defence and/or the Impen Ring will reduce the damage you take from emberskulls.

And beware of trap, notice the button and staff(?)

Avoiding as many enemys and running past them can be a good idea, but always saly the flaming skulls of doom.

Attack emberskulls by jumping as they approach and slashing at the air. They'll fly up into your attack, and then you'll drop out of their sights. Repeat until they die.

Use a warhammer or and OP blunt weapon.

id suggest using a strike weapon through most of it. if you have the blacksmiths clothing that might help. try sepreation tactics with them. if you going a ranged build then....best of luck to you mate. try to get the pheonic sheild? i think thats what its called...idk..get it. its immune to fire damage and its other defenses arent that bad.

What Class are you? I am mage. I cheesed my way to over-leveled by killing saltless in the secret area. Then transmuted the Great Sword you probably found , Kureimoa , into a Black Widow. I'm to strong now to get killed ... also if you're mage. get Lightning Barrage, its basically melt all enemies with 4 continues hits.

true..phys mage can be very powerful. but ive always found that hunter with an axe and crossbow is very versatile and very annoying in pvp.

Yes, this works well! I've been going through this area again on a new playthrough and this is what I've been doing.

I'm glad my description was sufficiently descriptive. I was worried I was forgetting something important.
