How to deal with shrine of amana?

[FilthyRatGoblin]

Mages with 100m range, lizards with stunlock for days, restricted movement. Put em all together and you get cancer. I can tell I'm not the only one who thinks this because of all the bloodstains. How do you deal with all this stunlock? I'm doing mage and not even strong magic shield fixes the fact that there's no time to swing before another soul arrow comes at you.

only killed require enemies and move along.
im going to assume youre already at the second bonfire.
so
take out he shooter on theleft.
take out the lizard.
go up the diagonal pillar and take out the rest.
procede across and take out the one inbetween the pillars.
theres an archdrake knight here iirc.
take out the lizard and the shooter and go through round room.
take out the archdrake. take out the shooter. take out the other 3 archdrakes. ignore the ones on left.
fogwall/bonfire.
kill bugs.
walk down ramp and stick left.
go left around pillars.
hold W and then when you see boss door open it.
done.

How? How am I expected to kill any of the mages when they have at least one friend spamming infinite range homing soul arrows? Navigating the level looks straight foward unless there's some secret path that's actually half fair.

use a bow

i dunno dude.
i keep seeing posts like this about amana and its baffling.
tell your Soul memory and ask for COOP players?

There is a legends of a strange weapon in the game like a bent piece of wood with a string, it is said one can use it to launch sticks with sharp ends for large distances.
Ohh if only the legends were true.

Unfortunately you need to be profecient with the fingers to use those. Warriors of the time had more dexterity than the wizards of present.(playing mage. Mage doesn't have that kind of dex)

I'm a mage. You just need to get attention one at a time and kill them and proceed forward. There is a npc after second bonfire if you need help getting through that part. Hardest part imo.

Binoculars? for free aim of spells .

[Genghis Khan's Secret Noodles]

I also went through there with a mage recently and it was actually easier than playing as a melee character. Use a binocular and keep using spells. Don't worry if their spells hit you, you should have enough magic resistance.

[supersand]

if you roll directly into the soul arrow before it hits you it will go through you, just make sure to use cover while you kill the lizardmen, they should be your priority, then you can go onto the pillar near the bonfire with a jump and you can either wait for a good chance or cheese it with a bow or magic + binoculars, your choice

[ShinkuTear]

Grab a bow, even if you don't have the required stats for it, and buy a bunch of Poison Arrows from Gavlan. Unless lacking minimum stats affects poison build up, you'll poison the mages every 4th arrow, and they don't have nearly enough HP to survive a poisoning on NG. You can use this to get rid of most of the mages you can't approach.

With the mages gone, you can take your time killing whatever enemies would get in your way.

get a bow or just speed run the area.. the place you need to get to is kind of obvious so you can just run forward without any worry
