Irithyll Dungeon

[Alzakiel]

Yup last night just managed to get my way up there and there is something i wonder about a monster..... Don't know the name but they are alway reducing my life to crazy low level without even having to hit me (These guys in robes with a lamp in their hand)

And i just can't seem to figure out how to deal with them, outside killing them has soon i see one. Is there a way to make their curse/spell or whatever they cast to do not entirely reduce my health to nothingness lol ? (I know it recover, but yeah that's 1 more estus to use to get through lol)

Kill them before they reduce your health. That's the only way to deal with them.

it's The Jailer, and no you cant "deny" their effect. i suggest to hit them then run back until there's no heartbeat sound..

They are called "Jailer" and the only way for them to not drain your health is by not having them look at you. Once their lamp turns red, try to get out of sight and charge at them when it turns normal again. When there are multiple Jailers, only way for you to not lose health is by drawing one out at a time.

The dudes with the branding irons. Kill them quick. Your bar will recover if you get out of there range, you need estus to refill it. Draw them out one at a time with arrows.

[Alzakiel]

Mmmmm i see :P. Oh well if the only way is to kill them before the worst happen.

i'll try that Aaron!

Well thanks guys that was fast. :P

If you have the "binoculars" you can aim with your spells from a distance.

It's in High Wall of Lothric somewhere, if you don't have it yet.

Really ? :O ... I found them right when i started the game(since i pretty much did more exploration than boss fight in my first 2-3days lol)... I didn't know you could do that with them Oo, thanks man!

[Zeddicuus]

The trick with the binoculars/spells is a very interesting one!

What I do is blast them with an arrow and run like hell around a corner. Typically they lose interest in trying to find you fast and walk back to their original position, so pegging them out is a slow but sure why to take them out without having your HP bar shrink to almost nothing. Just let them walk back to their spot and stop or they will chase you a lot farther!

[Alzakiel]

Nice i'll try doing it that way next time i go to the Irithyll Dungeon.... For now i walked back into the carthus catacomb and ended up in the smouldering lake ... Just killed the old demon king, easyiest boss i've seen for a Magic user up to now lol (That balista is a freaking pain though ...)

[Darthzz]

If their branding irons hit you once, your max equip will also drain, and if you get hit a second time standing next to them, it's garunteed death.

[Zeddicuus]

hahah yeah. He was a pain for me when I tried melee, but being a Dex heavy build I just took out my Pharris Bow and kept my distance. He moves very slow so it's pretty easy to stay out of range of that big mace of his.

Given I do not like stupidly huge weapons, I ate his soul. It tasted like cinnamon.

[Requiem]

Just an fyi to all of you guys, you can actually cancel their drain, carthus milk ring rolls pause it, and hitting them with a black firebomb knocks them over, letting you close the distance.
