BlackleMage v3.6 All Bosses Route Notes - FOURTY FIREBOMBS

Route made by me Fhyber based somewhat off of santzo's original BKH all bosses route (which was based off of any% bkh rtsr sorta) and my optimized version of Aihel's all bosses sorcery route. Optimizations to this route were also made by Santzo, H4ntz and Noobest and maybe some other people. This route is the current fastest all bosses route (we think).

- start as hunter
- pick up the soul by the undead dragon, rtsr, kill lizard, get bkh, buy battle axe
Gargoyles
- buy 2 bones, kill oswald, 22 STR 18 DEX, kill lautrec
Quelaag
- +2 bkh, weapon smithbox, and some large arrows, bone back (faster IGT than running back up)
Iron Golem
- 27 STR, 19 END, 12 ATU, LEVEL INT for the rest of the game (get these stats after smough if you didn't smash boss souls, in fact faster not to smash boss souls now, 27 STR and 17 END are the priority, then 19 END then ATU/INT)
- You can now have bkh / shield / bow (or catalyst) on at the same time with 19 END
Ornstein & Smough

- You can safely get 21 END for more running/dlc rolling/attacking if you don't lose any souls, otherwise 19
- place lordvessel
- rest at undead burg bonfire

Taurus

- kill the lizard before taurus

Hydra (don't summon dusk)

- +3 the halberd
- get broken pendant
- kill the 3 lizards in crystal cave

Seathe

- darksign out of seathe before getting souls
- +5 the halberd

- Do lower undead burg skip #2
- It's really faster to do these 2 bosses now if you get a decent capra fight since you can kill gaping before he charges with bkh +5

Capra Demon
Gaping

- rtsr for guardian and keep it for artorias, the artorias rtsr setup is slow as balls and dying should be a reset anyway, MAN UP, it's 13 seconds + the amount of time it takes to light and rest at 2 bonfires WASTED

Guardian

- buy hidden body and 2 catalysts from Elizabeth and use it later to get through oolacile safely
- buy some firebombs (need only 2 if you never miss) and moss from Chester, firebombs for Tohki Bomb strat for BoC and moss for fights/running around (especially useful on the dlc bosses)

Artorias

- grab dark bead without dying, roll attack with bkh can kill all 3 enemies standing in front of it

Manus
Kalameet

- warp to chamber of the princess, get manus catalyst from giant blacksmith, kill gwyndolin with rtsr then rest at gwyndolin bonfire
-29-32 int by this point

Gwyndolin
Stray Demon
Pris
Butterfly
Sif
Ceaseless
Firesage
Centipede
Bed of chaos (Do tohki bombs)

- rest at firelink bonfire
- Do these 2 bosses if you didn't do them earlier

- If you're bad you'd do these bosses now
capra*
gaping*

- Do this to kill pinwheel/nito quickly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1gfeu2BzFE

Pinwheel

- get 12 ATU at some point and have hidden body + dark bead by now and use hidden body on nito on a pro (with rtsr hopefully, just run at him either way)

Nito

- rtsr for ingward like a pro, yolo strats are best strats, 44-46 int by those point

4 Kings

- 3 non counter hits to king #1, swap bkh for manus catalyst mid fight, 2 dark beads into king #2. 1 dark bead into king #2 if he's not dead melle him with the catalyst (make you're 1 handing). If they shoot magic estus twice and sprint into it.

Gwyn

- get the satelite
- get yo credit card (cuz I need no money)
