Bah. New Game + is a royal bitch. I died on the boss of 3-1. First time I've ever died on that boss, and I've fought her five times between friends.
If only I hadn't run out of arrows. I got her down to 2% health or so, charged with Total Protection on as a last resort, and she froze me, allowing her dopplegangers to spam me with that blue shit.
I now have a bloodstain with 116k souls sitting in her lair. It took me forever to get there too. ;_;
