Location: Path of Devotion
Boss: Paladin’s Burden
This area is smaller than expected, basically just three small paths and a section of Skyrest Bridge. But, this area has something special… Besides the late afternoon sun, there’s a melee boss here that reminds me a bit of Knight Astoria. The good man was probably once one of my lamp predecessors, I haven’t followed the story exactly.
It was the first boss in a while that was a bit more challenging. Since I had decided in favour of the pyromancer, I wanted to kill him pyromancer-style. At the beginning, when I didn’t know what to expect, I picked up the burning zombie again – a kind of slow homing missile that ignites the enemy on contact. Unfortunately, I hadn’t reckoned with the Paladin’s healing abilities. The burns weren’t enough for permanent damage.
What the heck, the right tactic as a Pyric Cultist was to use Seismic Slam and make sure to interrupt his healing attempts. Maybe it would have worked with the zombie if I had always interrupted the healing. Too bad you can’t retry bosses, I would have liked to see the zombie kill him 😀
