where do i need to go? (Lost bastille)

[vukotlak]

Ok guys i actualy have completed this part of the game several times. I decided to play some good ol DS2 and so far i am flying through the game. And now i am stuck at lost bastille.

I have killed the persuader i think 3 times by now. I have slain the 3 knights boss. I got i think 2 keys from the location. And now i am stuck. Running around and allways ending up in a dead end. I am basicly running around between the cells with the suicide bombers and upper walls. I dunno where the f i need to go now. And it so annoying as i never had this issue before XD. Any idea or tip for me?

Thx in advance.

So... assuming you have the bonefire with Straid (that arrogant merchant/wizard)...

...if you leave the tower via door in the cell next door (I think) or the main gate i the room below (I think you needed to flip a switch for that door), you should see a straight path to another tower.

If you go to that tower (it should be guarded by that big pyro guy with scythe), you'll find an elevator to go down to the next area.

I solved it now. I was actualy stuck right before the moment you described. I had to find straid. I have slain the boss in the tower now. And oh boy i dunno i did not remembered the game to be so ahm how to put it "BORING". That "Big" boss does nothing more then some super boring and predictable slashes. Seriously underwhelming i did not remmembered it that bad. Let's see if i can drag myself through it or skip it. I stopped playing at the fume knight back in the day. Given how effin long the game is...

However thx for the tip that was a good idea. I know my description was a bit bad but i was totaly lost XD.

Many bosses in DS2 will be like that for the first half of the game. Kinda like a reverse Dark Souls 1, which had it's back half be a little underwhelming overall.
And if you've played any soulsgame post Bloodborne, than that will become more apparent, due to how much FromSoft has improved their boss design, especially in terms of mechanics. They've sure come a long way, since the gimmick boss bonanza, that is Demon's Souls.

The DLC of DS2 are fantastic, though, especially the Iron King one imo. And bosses are just one part, so i'd stick around.
