LORS OF THE FALLENS - HOW TO DEFEAT THE KEEPER FULL WALKTHROUGH

the trick is to NOT reduce his shield to 0. i made that mistake a few times till i realized something was off as i was oneshotting the shield with shift each time. once his shield is below 25% hell summon the shelf. if you face the shelf with your shield up you only take stamina dmg btw and still absorb all books. then simply hide behind shelf till nova animation is fully done. once you get this he is one of the easiest bosses in the game. that beeing said they are all easy if you use shift . also you should ALWAYS get atleast 21 faith no matter your build. some spells are just TOO good to pass up. and it doesnt hamper your build at all. you get so many spellshard points for free that not getting the spells is never a good idea no matter what build you are.
solace is probaly the worst spelltree. shelter is overrated when dim hope exists and can be gotten before even fighting the 2nd boss. deception stomps the other 2 once you learned stab and shift you become a walking force of nature if used probaly shift can kill the final boss before he can even use his beamlaser at all.
