Fighting the Rotten with Bonfire Ascetic

[rhinorun]

I want the crypt blacksword, really bad, and I dont want to wait until NG+, should I
just use an ascetic? I haven't beaten him the first time, so Ill get to that, but does anyone want to help me out?

I just figured since The Rotten isn't "too" difficult of a boss fight, it might not be so bad using an Acsetic.

if you want to up that challenge, try to cut both of his arms off before it regenerates them!
it's always cute to see his little nubbins.

cutting off the arm? i have never done this. always just hack away at his back

if you cut off his non axe arm, it will drop a body with a Pharro's Lockstone ;)
Think just about how that got there...

Back on topic, only use this method if you don't plan to go NG+ and higher. The intensity boost will carry on and you may find yourself in trouble.

In what regard? Ive pretty much gotten every item, and I can farm titanite off other enemies.

In your next new game, enemies in the Black Gulch will be way, way harder. The Rotten will have much higher HP, and deal more damage.

If you use, let's say, 3 ascetics in NG, it means when you reach Green Gulch in NG+, it will be NG++++ difficulty by default.

Kill him first time, if u have trouble there are two npc summons where the giant worms are.
Burn ascetic in the hidden chamber bonfire (not in the first one at the entrance of black gulch) and kill him again, is not a difficult boss if u can roll under his attacks. and between ng+ and ng++ is not really any difference so dont worry for your next playthough.

Use crypt blacksword one handed and infused with dark.

still need help

So you can summon Lucatiel and the other NPC (I forgot his name) a second time with the ascetic?

Yep, lucatiel, lone hunter and ray.
