I "defeated" the Crystal Peak Boss - Where can I go at this point ?

[alexdnnbrg]

Actually, I did nothing. Stenched him to death with the stinky crest.
I did not win anything, didn't get any new ability. At this point I can not defeat the SM nor the Mantis Lords.
Can I get into the Conifer room at Fungal Wastes ? Tried to goggle it and couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

There is an ability in Crystal Peak that doesn't require defeating any boss (Crystal Heart). It will allow you to access some new areas.

Cornifer room in Fungal Wastes should be normally accessible by anyone, I don't really know what you mean...

Maybe he meant Fog Canyon? Since the shadow barrier blocks the room with cornifer if you enter from the left side.

Thank goodness you are here.

So I think to get to cornifer you will need to enter from the right side of Fog Canyon, but I'm blanking on what area that entrance is in. You can probably tell by looking at your overall map what region connects.

My advice would be start a Soul Master discussion for tips on beating him. You're at a point where its doable even if it feels too hard. Start a discussion, list the attacks that are giving you trouble and you'll probably get some good tips from people. It may help practicing avoiding the small soul sorcerer enemy attacks without killing them. His ranged spells home in on you in a similar way. The ability you get will open new routes and I found it helpful in beating mantis lords.

You won't be able to pass the shadow barriers for some time, and its not even necessary to have the ability to cross shadow barriers before finishing the main game (I didn't find it till I was pushing for 100%)

Alternatively, I'm sure there's videos on beating him out there, but sometimes a detailed description from people you can talk back and forth with can be more helpful. You know what works for you

Great thanks. I am going to wait as long as I can for SM. It's not just hard. It's agonizing. I mean Dark Souls bosses are hard, but the fighting is fun. Here I genuinely suffer.
Many thanks for your great tips and patience.

I feel you on that, I only suggest it so strongly because the ability you get makes the combat more fun in my opinion. Also, if you can't overcome him, there are harder bosses down the road.

I've only played the second DSouls myself (the other two are on the list after Sekiro) but yeah the combat is quite different, as necessary from being a 2d action game. I find it much more fast paced than souls especially once you have the next few abilities, but that might be just cause I play souls in a slower deliberate style. I also found that with HK I had to learn most every boss attack patterns quite well, where as with Souls in many cases I could fumble my way through harder fights with good item usage (Not dissing Souls, it may be my favorite series and that's just from playing 1 game). The lack of consumable items makes HK less about inventory preparedness and more about a concrete understanding of the gameplay, it also means strategy plays a less obvious role since it doesn't matter if you can't stay alive.

Hey patience and understanding is everything, I'd never talk down about someone struggling with HK it takes some serious dedication. I'm pretty invested in your journey at this point haha. But I'll say at some point you'll have to stop and ask if the gameplay is for you, I found myself absolutely loving playing many of the bosses and segments you seem frustrated by. Don't push yourself through a frustrating experience that isn't giving you something
