How to easily get past the bullsh*t priest enemy on the stairs in Enir-Ilim | Elden Ring: SoTE

Minor spoilers for a late game area.
Get the crimsonwhorl bubbletear from mountaintop of the giants and pop it before the mage aggroes. If you're doing the area normally you will have killed the golden knight then you can pop it at your leisure. I run past all - hence mine runs out early (it only lasts 15 seconds).

MAN, YOU ARE THE BEST! 69 tries here and was ready to smash my screen...

[@goats4days]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’ve been doing a level one run and getting through this was actually going to make me explode. Got through first try once I got the tear!

[@milkychipz6318]

Glad to help. This DLC with base vigour sounds like cancer man. Are you allowing yourself skibiditree fragments?

[@goats4days]

@@milkychipz6318 Yeah, I could not do it without them. Radahn is absolute torture, Im nearly on my 400th attempt 😭
The rest hasnt been too bad though, but Enir-Elim was when the real fun began. Maybe one day Ill do RL1 with no fragments…

[@JustaFish.]

Thanks you man I’ve died 42 times to these god damn sons of bitches. Might be the worst enemy in the game.

[@SoulsGuru]

I dont normally call anything bullshit in these games but on ng+7 fuck this staircase

This works, thanks dude.

[@Miirandoliina]

thank u man love u

[@Beeg_Boy]

Might have to do this for rl1 lol, I’m practicing bosses on another file and realizing that a lot of runs and jori elder inquisitor are gonna be harder than most remembrances 💀

[@infernoplayzgames1684]

I didn't actually know that tear existed

[@milkychipz6318]

It is goated for the area boss

I spam light of miquella from a "mile" away. Dmb hornsents can't reach my position. A swing of sacred relic works too.
