I'll hop to Gavan to buy some poison arrows, better slow than not at all. I don't like having to resort to a bow with all kinds of magic to my disposal, but the game just won't let me aim it :/ From a short distance careful positioning works to aim as long as the target is at the same height, but not while getting blasted by homing soul arrows at a ridiculous long distance. That boss was the hardest for me so far. The 5 little rats jump me with poison and toxicity, and if I don't die from that, the boss 1 hit swipes me while getting interrupted by the small ones. Once i got rid of most of the small ones with lingering flame traps it was indeed not that difficult, hide out underneath the boss. |
if it's anything like the first Dark Souls, you don't need dexterity or a good bow for poision arrows to work (that's why they're so great 
), just shot enemies 4 times to poison them, even if you have no dex for the bow and your physical attack does no damage, poision will still finish most enemies fairly fast.
rat authority can still hit you occasionally if you're under it, but it only attacks with front paws so if you just run in a circular motion and chase after one of its back paws then it cannot hit you at all, but yeah, killing the small ones quickly without dying or getting toxiced is all to it.
