Catacombs

[CODA]

Aah, this place is why everybody talks about how ''Hard'' DS1 was.

Put 800 Skeletons in a small dark place, who will follow you for 7 days straight.
I think i died here 20 times already. How the ♥♥♥♥ am i supposed to go through there?

[\[T]/ Praise It \[T]/]

GİT GUD SCRUB!!!!

[Marsson]

Kill the necromancers and the skeletons won't revive (until you use a bonfire of course)

[Alariel]

You are not supposed to go there right after arriving in Lordran. Look for another path and return later to the Catacombs.

[DU-wang]

This entire OP is why git gud exists

[Dusk of Oolacile]

You're supposed to go though once you do a lot of damage and take little from the skellies. Also have some poise, wolf ring can be used by anyone.

And remember quitouts. You can reset enemies by quitting and reloading your game. Any time, and any enemy.

Yes there are non-respawning enemies wearing black cloaks and waving a lantern+shooting fire at you. They need to die and then any skeletons close to them will cease to respawn. Good luck!

I didnt just arrive, i cleared the entire Undead Parish and Darkroot Garden.
I also killed the reanimators

And i knew that the first answer would be a ''git gud'' again.
Started with DS3, and everything i've seen til now is just bad game design.

Sorry, putting 800 Skeletons in a small dark place isnt challenging, but plain annoying.

His point still stands. You've barely seen Lordran. Come back later. Also, git gud.

Catacombs isn't supposed to be cleared until near-endgame. In fact if you actually go there early on you can get trapped, making it quite hard to get out. The area becomes much more easier later on when you get decent items/stats.

In New Game+ the skeletons hit even harder, I just ran past everything while killing the necromancers. The place is pure, unfiltered cancer

[chaotic fried rice]

Rush and kill the necromancers (there's a lot of them in there, some of them hidden. if skeletons are still reviving it means you haven't killed them all) or use a divine weapon. There's also some useful shortcuts you can do to skip a lot of the area if you're struggling and then you can do the area in reverse if you want which is easier. It's a super challenging area early game but doable and worth it if you can.

[goka9696]

Get divine weapon

Kill Necromancers

Grind levels

[chaotic fried rice]

In all honesty though if you wait to do this area late game it's a joke skelingtons can't handle the +15 zwei power even with their necro pals giving em the quick rez. I find it more fun to do it early on cause it's actually threatening.
