Grand Archives Trio

[Kale]

I need some tips for this gankfest. I could take them one-on-one, but all my attempts to lure one out results in all three sprinting at me. Pyromancies don't seem to do much and I try to backstab, but it's not easy with all three at once. Parrying is an option, but I have never landed a successful parry and I don't want to risk trying on them. They seem a lot more agressive than any other enemy I've seen (specifically the axe one) and that makes them harder to fight because rolling or blocking quickly drains my stamina as they never stop attacking.

lure them back into the archives and climb the ladder just as you go through the door, if one climbs up then just pummel him, if they stay at the bottom just go ranged with a bow etc.

[ComposMentis]

Lure them with a bow, after some time they will change their position, making it easier to fight one on one.

I never had problems to lure them out. You just have to kill every enemy quickly enough before the next enemy arrives. I would recommend the order axe guy, swordman and then the mage. Usually the fight takes for me just about 20 seconds with a fast weapon like the Dark Sword.

I don't believe there is a ladder going up in the archives at that point.

warrior first ---> kite him behind a pilllar so the archer and mage dont hit you

mage second --> jsut nuke him , if he parries you roll out --> he wont folow up

thief last

There's one you can kick down that leads to the area with the Wax guys and the elevator shortcut.

Is it that one that you get right after going through the window from the rooftops?

go after faraam first. stun him to shame and keep the ranged to a distance. next, go for either one of them, just remember to keep your distance from the other. personally, i go after mage kid first as his close combat attacks are easily dodged. keep an eye on your stamina as there will be hell to pay if you're standing there while they combo you to death.

If you have 16 STR and 15 DEX I could trade you my sword for this fight.

Yes, that's the only ladder closeby I can think of.

[ WraithGear]

so what i did was look at their actions, and weapon types...

we have a man in armor, with a great axe
a caster in robes, with a staff
and some dex character with twinswords.

when agroed, the axe man hunts you down, and tries to hit you with his huge axe, the caster conjurs up soul mass, and the dual swords man, pulls out his bow.

so now its time to divide and conquer. you can either kite the axe man, and first go after the caster, as he will go down the fastest, and its really easy to hit him wheil hes casting, and dogde his spells,

or you could pull the axeman behind cover and deal with him descretly, before the twin swords man gives chase.

once you take a peice out of the puzzle the rest of it just falls apart. Don't get greedy, and expect them to use esetus, don't trade with them when you can help it, and remember by this point you hav them beat on estus.

Agro the knight first , yes they will all come , BUT the knight should get to you first

Enter the door , the other 2 are ranged so it should buy you a little time

Kill the knight

Run out and kill the mage , she wont really survive many hits

Now it is a 1x1 and the poor guy is alone , trash the archer.

Now that I think about it I would probably do better with a better weapon. Using a Hollow Broadsword +10 lmao. I just can't find another weapon with similar scaling, damage, and attack speed that I can actually use.
