For Iron golem, an increase that wasn't ruled out was to summon someone, have them Channeler's trident buff you, then leave before you enter the fog. The item is obtainable by the channeler in the parish (1% drop rate on a unique non respawnable ennemy sure, but obtainable) and you didn't rule out summon buffing.

[@ibragimowbekhan0987]

Ah, yes, the dance pole that everyone forgets about. 😂

Gorgonzola is obviously the best type of cheese. Also, "Gwyn condition" was a pretty good one, I must admit

[@JKLeeds]

[@Toninato03]

Parmigiano is my favourite

[@Catman_CM]

Depends. My favorite melted cheese is cheddar, just-plain-eating cheese is tied between mozzarella and havarti, and as an accent to another dish I usually prefer feta

[@ThommyofThenn]

I view cheese a bit like beers or wines. There is no one "GOAT" imo because the best choice so often depends on what you're mixing it with. Ill preface by saying eating a cheese by itself is a lot of fun and I totally get it. But how much better is that same cheese with a cracker or melted on a bread?? For example welsh cheddar is incredible with an apple while butterkase with a pear is good. If I had to pick based on just eating by itself, maybe warmed on the counter for 20 minutes...i would say a 1 year old gouda is the BEST based solely on taste. You still have those deeply savory and creamy flavors while the aging gives you a little bit of crystallisation without turning it into chunk of sand. You also get a bit of butterscotch and caramel or toffee notes depending on which kind it is. In second place, I would go with a medium cheddar just because it's good by itself and extremely versatile

[@ngotemna8875]

You all ain't ready for Feta. Goes perfectly with any summer-related food and salad. Plus the way it melts makes it perfect for rather dry dishes.

[@SRFriso94]

There is a sort of glitch - at least in the PtDE - where you can clip through the elevator in Quelaag’s Domain and get a plunging attack on Demon Firesage, which would have gotten you the one shot. It wouldn’t skip anything per se as you’d still count Ceaseless as a loss, and doesn’t get you any items. Chalk that one up as ‘debatable’ with your ruleset.

[@jamiewarren2307]

I wonder if you could have killed iron golem with magic weapon by increasing your magic adjust at the time of casting. This would involve wearing the bellowing dragon Crest ring and dusks crown. You cast the spell, then quickly transforming into a dragon and going for the one shot. It would be interesting to see.

[@redninjakoopa]

Sadly spell damage buffs like the crown or ring don't actually affect Magic Adjustment, so it doesn't boost damage.

[@LilacGeese]

My favourite kind of cheese is haloumi. I liked that you tried multiple solutions for bosses you were stuck on before giving up, as well as looked into other creators who had done the achievement where you couldn't.

Iron Golem Ideas (idk if you've tried these all, just brainstorming) 1. Buffing magic weapon with dragoncrest ring then swapping back to main rings (does this work even? Idk). 2. Instability damage modifier (hit him while he is swinging his sword) 3. Environmental damage (the giant that throws giant firebombs, does this hurt the golemn? Does the fire left behind hurt the golemn?) 4. Using non-damaging abilities to stagger before attacking, or after (there is a miracle that does this)
