fat ministers + NG+ = sub-boss?

Shadowcrazy 15 Apr 2010 01:50

It's so frustrating to see now my NG+ experience doing to me what normal game did to me when i first played…lol needless to say fat ministers are kicking my ass and without any assistance at all…soul arrow is now useless in NG+ and i'm sad now :(

makes me regret not farming souls and making all my unique weapons when i could….also pisses me off that i ended up using the Hero's soul for the LSoS instead of one time revival….crap how i wish i had that spell on me now :(

anyways anybody have any tips on beating stonefang tunnel on NG+? really just trying to get to flamelurker so i can cheat my way to killing him, taking his demon soul…and making northern regalia….since that's the only thing i can make right now since im sure trying to save yuria so early in NG+ will be near impossible….anyways any help would be greatful my fellow warriors of the nexus

Fat ministers can be picked of using arrows but I find that rolling is effective to dodge their attacks up close, they aren't that fast. However I suggest using a purple flame shield upgraded as high as you can to block the flame damage (from fat ministers and bosses). If you still have troubles summon a blue phantom or two.

The flamelurker gave me a bit of grief on NG+.
Got so made after the last time that I got his health done to 10% that I used a glitch where it gets blocked by the spine which is immediately on your left as you enter.
This glitch is stated on the boss page in this wiki.

another good strategy is the NINJA strategy, where you wear the thief's ring, and hit flamelurker with a arrow or something for him to chase you in the entrance, then you run into the left side of the stairs where the pillar is…flamelurker is a crappy scavenger and will go back to his post and just stand there like an idiot…in which with the thief's ring still equipped you cast poison cloud on him until he dies (takes about 6-7 casts…but my magic is low)

Have you upgraded to Soul Light? I take it no, since you said Soul Arrow. Doll Demon Soul only has one use and that is Soul Light. Get it and use that. Even with only 18 in magic so that I can use ToB, it still is pretty effective in NG++ for me. Sure the Ministers are a pain but I have no problem sitting back from them and dodging their attacks and then shooting them with Soul Light, although I will just melee them in between his spells instead.

yeah, all i can say is THANK GOD FOR HEAVY ARROWS

i have soul light but my guy isnt really the magician (working on it)….but thankfully i had my lava bow so i just kept cheaping on it by hiding in places where his flame spell couldnt touch me but my arrows could :p

Heavy weapons work like a charm for me. I knock them down… if they survive my 3 R2 attacks, (in NG+++…+ forgot to count ) I just wait for them, roll a couple of times and do it again!

I have zero problem with most of the mobs in NG+ as melee.
The only thing i had problem with is the giant guys in 5-1 and 5-2…

Fat minister is pretty slow, you just need to roll to dodge his fire and that's it.

Try walking around them in circles, it confuses them and if you are lucky, you can get an excellent backstab in

Soul Ray worked great for me on NG+ against the Fat Ministers (MAG 50). Strangely, they are also weak to fire so Fireball also works well.

lol just have purple flame shield or something fire resistant and block or dodge his flame attacks accordingly(but if stuck in 1-4 with em, then block, hit 'n run, far mageing with HSA or soul ray or fireball can do fine or better yet ranged).
