In this episode we're going to tackle the gaol and various bosses around Gravesite Plains. As a reminder you'll want Sacred Blade for the dragon and Cragblade can greatly help to stagger the Furnace Golem sooner.

4% drop rate for that shield and it only drops from 1 knight. But with gold scared on you get 7k a kill so at least your getting somthing while waiting for it to drop.

Exact same here. Used his walkthroughs for DS3, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and now here for Shadow of the Erdtree.

Tip: for the flame giant guy, when you see it is going to double stomp, back up quickly and then jump, you can jump without torrent but you need to back up since it does some kind of explosion. Also, when he’s knocked down, you can give it a high amount of hits and then the critical before it gets up again.

Those people coming out of the Pots remind me of the Brain Fluid 🧠 or Brain Patient from Bloodborne 😂

Tree sentinel armour set boosts fire negation, dagger talisman boosts criticals and lance talisman boosts horseback combat. All useful for the fire gollum.

Great Walkthrough as always, thx for putting in the work.

For blackgaol knight tips for str user you can use greatsword with giant hunt ash of war and then spam him with it he wont get to do anything and he will only attack if you stop to use flask to replenish FP

I put some Messmerflame Grease on my Bloodhound’s Fang and just went off on him. Stunlocked him a few times.

for anyone in ng+, use sacred relic sword for the dragon. I also found a cheese spot on a cliff to the left of the grace when walking towards the dragon, lure him into the face of the cliff and relic sword away, just back up for his flame attacks.

For the Furnace Golem - Flamedrake Talisman+2 (20%⬇Fire Damage) + Lance Talisman (15%⬆Damage on Horseback) + Dagger Talisman (17%⬆in Critical Damage) allowed me to beat him quickly in just 2 attempts & I'm far from "git gud" status after a 2 year hiatus 😱. Nice Walkthrough Cowboy - you're the best!! Keep up the great work.

If you have raytracing on then I would suggest turning it off. That corrected the vast majority of hitches and stutters for me. It would be nice to use RT since I have a PC that can run it well. But I'd much rather have stable frametimes. HTH. ✌ Thanks so much for all the helpful walkthroughs over the years. Your time and effort on these in particular is quite impressive. I'm sure having to redo videos is no fun but I, for one, sincerely appreciate it. 🥰

Cowboy, re: your frame stutter issue-I'd also make sure you don't have Chrome open. For some reason on my realitively high end computer, I've noticed even 3 or 4 Chrome tabs on the second screen cause Elden Ring to stutter randomly like you're seeing. Doesn't happen with other games.

14:35 Yosh definitely messed me up when I came through here the first time.

That great shield great spear battle with the solitude night gole was a thing of beauty bro Nice battle

thank you cowboy, i beat that furnace golem you truly are a master

For Blackgaol Knight, I just spammed the Blind Spot ash of war with blood backhand blades and he didn't even touch me. That move shreds pretty much any human proportioned enemy since it swiftly evades attacks, staggers reliably, and quickly builds up status effects all in one move. Plus, it's cheap to use and easy to get.

Yes he started the whole walk through over. A redo👍

tip: get off the elevator immediately otherwise it will take you to the bottom and it's hard getting back on. I died because of that.

Bloodhound's Fang with Bloodhound's Finesse is still such an amazing weapon. Makes the Blackgaol Knight Boss so easy.

For sure watch part 1 again. Cowboy grabbed a few things he didn't on the last ones. A ball bearing and an OP talisman that regens FP over time..

Great give for Dragon 🐲. Thank you.

My Blackgaol Knight tips: I went old school straight with a great shield, bloodhounds fang, started with bloodflame blade, and took it to him. Attack first and aggressive, the back off and block with the shield. It's all about stamina. My physick = thorny cracked tear and greenburst crystal tear. Strengthens successive attacks and temporarily boosts stamina RECOVERY. Just watch that slashing thing he does. I suggest evading that (and the often follow-up). Otherwise, this setup worked for me and I'm no Cowboy 😂 Again, with this method, it's all about that stamina. Good luck!

this walk-through was completely different yesterday, I stopped at the start of the third Walk-through. Did you change any thing or add new stuff? should I re-watch from Beginning?

Correct, pinned comment on part 1 explaining

note about the ghost flame dragon is that, this sacred blade is not optimal at all. yet he was able to do that much damage a normal sacred infused weapon with 80 faith could do much more damage than that also using barrier of gold is helpful too

The easiest way to nuke the furnace golems on a faith build is with fully charged ancient dragon's lightning strike with the gravel stone seal and godfrey's icon. One cast will usually stagger them. Do it three or four times and then hit them with a crit when they fall down. It almost feels like a cheese because it's too easy.

So with the lore about the living saints and the pots… Does that mean the pot dude was punished like that? Does that mean the little ones are punished children? Maybe I missed the lore on these guys earlier and/or from the dark souls series but this is the first I remember hearing about this and it has very dark implications

Blackgaol Knight with two reduvias and no scadutree fragments was fun :)

Another thing you can do for blackgaol knight is wear great turtle shell and spam wave of gold he constantly falls over

If someone is struggling with the Blackgaol Knight, because you are not good enough with Parrys, just like myself: Use Blasphemous Blade and spam the weapon art. He won't have a chance.

If you're a spear user like me... Just use the Thrust ashes of war. you do three quick consecutive hits. you can effectively stunlock invading NPC's and the Knights.

Rotten breath/Mimic for that dragon worked for me.

If you craft the hefty fire pots and throw them into the big basket on top of the fire golems then that brings them down quicker I believe.

Do you have any STR build guides? I would like to be able to take some hits from the enemy

Tried a lot of different approaches for blackgaol knight. Finally beat him using dragon kings cragblade and just spammed him with thundercloud form 😂

crag blade is awesome but I used wild strikes on quality great stars and absolutely smashed the furnace golem

Blackgaol knight has to be a gael tribute or something

This dlc got me doing cheep stuff like when i was new to from soft games. The old hit and run strat. Lol

I killed him on Cowboys 1st video and didn't know he was weak to sacred blade. Someone should try buffing with last rites on the Golden Epitaph and then switching to there weapon with sacred blade to see if it doubles the dmg like it does on Death Birds.

Rivers of Blood worked really well against the Blackgaol knight. You can get in some really good damage if you wait for him to use his rappid fire move with the crossbow. Just dodge the arrows by running too the left, and get close to him. Once you're near him, hit him two or three times with either normal hits or heavy hits. Rivers of Blood even knocks him out of some of his moves. Just don't get too greedy with the hits, and you should be good.

Cowboy have you changed the content of each part? This wasn’t part 2 yesterday? Just beat the first boss on your original video and came here for the rest of the guide but it’s different?

GFD can be rotted, and Tiche also does work in that fight, as it felt, to me at least, a lot like a cross between Agheel and Smarag.

The Gaol Knight, parry him feel pretty good for me

Giant Hunt absolutely melts Blackgoal Knight.

For the dragon, I used Maliketh's Black Blade + 10 (Unique Skill: Destined Death). It worked better than any holy weapon.

Cowboy if u get behind the first fire golem and spam dragon lighting strike u can kill quick

I tried using Adula's Moonblade while on Torrent and the Dark Moon Greatsword on the Furnace Golems and it surprisingly broke its feet faster. Weakness perhaps?

@22:54 He healed several times fighting me. Took me at least 15 tries to get him before I used giantsflame.

Great stars + powerful strike = cheese constant knockdown and poise to withstand atk plus heal the damage he does to you

For the lag issue, turn off ray tracing, amd set ot to prioritize graphics

For ghost dragon, you can cheese him from the cliffside where you find the painter that gives a shield. Just use a greatbow, he'll just walk around in circles. He may do breath attack, but it cant hit you.
