Lords of the Fallen - Walkthrough Part 2: Skyrest

[@MegaBobby36]

I know you put a lot work,time and notes into your walkthroughs. So I just want to say that your work is very much appreciated. I've watched your walkthroughs after I've ran the the area to see what I missed and tactics to use on bosses. Thanks Cowboy👍

[@shanerowney5123]

Pieta was more challenging than I was expecting her to be when I made my attempts at it

It's really a good first boss. She forces you to learn the patterns.

At 32:25 jumping off that ledge actually leads to a throwing item, ie the javelin the spearmen class starts with a pretty strong one all things considered.

[@FloDsu]

Yeah, noticed that too

[@docmychedelic9153]

I appreciate this video. So many walkthroughs lack narration, and just watching someone else doesn’t work for me.

[@jackattack8o8]

Thanks for your hard work making these walkthroughs cowboy! You are really quick to put up full walkthroughs. Seriously impressive. Loving lords of the fallen so far! I’ll be playing along with your videos 👍

[@jorgeortiz41395]

I bought this game when it came out and even though it isn’t my first souls like (I played the first LOTF) I found it hard to get into the game and understand the mechanics for some reason. I’m using this walkthrough to get going, so far, now I’m enjoying and understanding the game a little better. Thanks!

[@alexchinchilla821]

I'm literally in the same boat, but this walkthrough has helped me, hell I didn't fucking even know you could summon a god damn helper on the first boss if you died against him 1st..lol

[@jorgeortiz41395]

@@alexchinchilla821 Yeah this game is heavy on exploration and you can miss A LOT of stuff. Not to mention I have always hated doing souls questlines, especially like Elden Rings where their is 0 instructions or help.

You can do a standing jump btw, just stand still and push jump and run at the same time apparently and it’ll make it easier to jump across things

[@wastelandsniper789]

Found this series and I love your walkthrough (and let's play) style. Still stuck on this boss with the Blackfeather Ranger, but I've gotten close several times. I've always sucked at the Soulsborne/Souls-like games, but I can't get enough of them. I've been trained by button-mashers, which is hard to break away from.

[@jiml8801]

Be patient and watch the attacks and learn the parry timing, only go all in when you are sure there is time to mash lol. I played all the soulsborne games (and remakes), but this game really needs a performance patch on PS5. I like the game but it doesnt look that nice and the framerate (even on Performance mode) is not that good as I am used to.

[@wastelandsniper789]

@@jiml8801 Yesterday I finally beat Pieta, then managed to beat Scourged Sister Delyth. I had to put the game away for a few days for real-life stuff, which I think helped. I've gotten much better with parry timing, though my finger does still get a bit twitchy at times and I hit it at the wrong moment. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable with the format overall. Thanks for the advice!

[@jamesmccubbing7222]

This episode certainly helped me to find loot I didn’t even know was there very very impressive how you located a lot of hidden things in a short space of time it’s taken me a little while but I can now defeat pieta without the summon and without dying once but honestly that was a tough first boss

[@pierriesingh]

Oh my, wouldn’t even dare to finish this part if not for your video part two.. thanks very much Cowboy

[@genarovazquez918]

Man I'm playing the game now and wow there's so much I completely missed. Thank you for your great guides!!

[@trevburnard]

Also on the bridge at 20:33, right when you land, if you turn around before heading forward, you can walk into a nook under the stairs for a item

I think it is 2 upgrade mats which is huge for early game

[@JunkyardGod92]

[@goonerjoe93]

Great walkthrough as always. I played the game through myself the first time and screwed up nearly every questline so looking forward t seeing what I missed

[@danielcalabrese5769]

Pieta was harder to beat while using a summons, but once I decided to fight her one on one I was able to learn her attack patterns much quicker and was able to parry easily at least 85% of the time and just watch out for her grab which can be dodged just wait till you see her hand pull back and a small flash of light on her hand then you know the grab is coming. The rest is pretty standard stuff. Very good first boss because it really taught me the importance of parry.

[@thomaszielinski4326]

I had that issue at first, but just because I was trying to fight her with the summon at the same time, once I just let him go at her and shot spells or other throwing items until he died, I could get her into her 2nd phase with no damage or loss of healing items.

[@bigdaddy7401]

I can't beat her Idk what to do

[@danielcalabrese5769]

@@bigdaddy7401 the best way to beat any boss in a games like this is to learn the bosses attacks and work out when the best time to attack is. In order to really learn the bosses move set you need to change your mindset from I'm going to beat this boss this time to I'm going to learn this bosses patterns this time. So you go into the boss fight telling yourself that you will not attack at all no matter what bec all you want to do is learn and your job is now dodge and/or parry and pay attention to the bosses moves and stay alive as long as you can but do not attack, this so you truly learn the bosses moves, once you have done that enough times you will usually smash them. From memory this boss was pretty easy to parry so I used that alot as well. Good luck mate.

[@jametime6086]

Upon arriving at the Vesting of Chabui I went straight upstairs to fight the boss. I would’ve missed out on so much content without this video… How the hell am I supposed to know where to go first in this game lol.

[@SevereSkillissue]

Just beat this boss on a second character and then you posted this. Excellent timing CowBoy.

[@Flame4Moonlight]

Can I parry her with my sword? I'm playing as a wolfy

[@SevereSkillissue]

@Flame4Moonlight I believe that you can but its so incredibly tight of a timing just equip a shield. And at the end of the day if you can't parry her just 2 hand your weapon, dodge her attacks and wait for an opening.

[@Flame4Moonlight]

[@lovethestruggle]

The pilgrim armor set you get from the tutorial area works very well against Pieta. It has high holy damage protection, especially if you’re a pyric cultist

[@daniiel1495]

[@GreyMurasama]

Pro tip for the stigmas. You can exit out of umbral while it's still playing. It'll just give you the scouring after like it played the entire thing. Saves time

[@1blktalon]

6:35 Does getting help from summons buff the boss potentially making it more difficult?

[@gloominaati3105]

I just started yesterday, and i went into this as a pyric cultist. Goddamn this fight was fun. I was munching my mana crystals like candy. I think this was a great first boss

[@maxmaxwell343]

The Iron Wayfarer is next to useless as a summon for the Pieta fight, he almost always dies before Pieta gets to 2nd phase, but if he does last til 2nd phase he’ll stand under the first aoe attack Pieta does and then die.

[@NwahlinsFlava]

Not sure if you got this already but at the 32:18 mark, if you drop down to the next platform, there’s short javelin ammunition sitting there. I think you missed it.

if you turn back at 20:34, there is an item, and there is an item in the coop room too

[@FightinCowboy]

Got it in a future part.

[@gregmorrell2792]

Well i spent 6 hours of farming little guys and 30 some odd attempts on Pieta and learned that i need to use more heavy attacks instead of spamming light attacks because i thought it was safer lol learned that lesson when i tried it on my final victory attempt.

[@ph0kused]

Really comforting to know cowboys first attempts with no summons ended up just like mine. Maybe all the snappy elden ring/bloodborne combat reeeally made this feel janky AF, doing pieta no shield no summons first time was a struggle.

[@benjaminharrel3518]

Yeah I’m running dark Crusader and without a parrying item she’s been difficult. Got her low then she f’d me up many times. Haven’t gotten a chance to play since then.

[@ph0kused]

Likewise, dark crusader stock makes it a bit more difficult, ended up using the throwable items first, and then some charged and 1 parry and she was dead. The throwable crusader items have pretty shit tracking so you have to time them when she puts her sword in the ground.

[@angbald]

I'm playing on a different patch than you. I ended up beating her my 2nd try thanks to parries.

[@lynackhilou4865]

While parrying pieta can be very rewarding , i found the best strategy to stay very close , dodge at the last second ( she does a specific stance when her combos end ) and do a charged attack Which is very standard as far as souls bosses , but at the beginning her attacks always caught me mid roll because my dodge wasn't delayed enough

[@Cxavie]

CB you missed the item behind the large beam. When you drop down on the beam. If you turn around you can destroy some boxes and reveal an item. When you drop down from here and turn left there's another item around the corner.

[@gagewyant7886]

You have made this game enjoyable for me. Thanks for the work. I’m using the pyro class so I appreciate the side quest to get the searing acquisition. Question though from the research I have done it’s the best catalyst for pyro. Is it worth giving up to the NPC?

[@FightinCowboy]

It is not the best catalyst by far and yes it's worth giving up. Without it you never gain access to her and she's the primary pyro merchant. She also gives it back.
