If the player's weapon is strong enough, a single backstab will suffice. The player must then approach him and his companions by walking along either of the hall's walls until they reach the area behind him, then they may approach him from behind and backstab him. This lets the player kill without retaliation.Ī very easy way to defeat him consists of wearing both the Ring of Fog and the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring. In addition, firing them from where the player spawns in his world will not make them aggro. Poison Arrows can prove effective on both Lautrec and his companions. Lautrec is faster than the rest of his party and will run up the stairs first, which then allows the player to engage him alone atop the chokepoint. An easy way to do this is to go up the staircases to the left or right, then aggro Lautrec with a bow. The player is only required to kill Lautrec, so they may choose to concentrate on him and hope to kill him before his companions cause any trouble. If fought in Anor Londo, Lautrec will have a sorcerer and a Pike-wielding warrior guarding him. Quit and load the game, and his items should be right in front of the player. If fought at Firelink Shrine, Lautrec can safely be kicked off the ledge. Additionally, he may use a parrying dagger to parry and riposte players.


He also wears a Red Tearstone Ring, so be extra careful when he is near-death. Therefore, dodging his attacks or killing him as quickly as possible will work best. Lautrec dual-wields Shotels, allowing him to partially hit through block. Whether or not Lautrec was freed, after the player rings the second Bell of Awakening or picks up the Fire Keeper Soul in Blighttown, Lautrec will kill Anastacia and begin a quest line in which the player can collect a Black Eye Orb along with Anastacia's robes, and hunt Lautrec down to retrieve the Fire Keeper's Soul in Anor Londo. His first summon sign is near the ladder before the Fog Door the second summon is opposite from Solaire's, hidden behind a pillar near the Gaping Dragon's fog door. If the player frees Lautrec and receives his reward at Firelink Shrine, he can be summoned to assist against the Bell Gargoyles and the Gaping Dragon. If Lautrec was freed, then it is here that he will reward the player with a Sunlight Medal. The Mystery Key that opens his cell (which can also be opened with the Master Key) is found in the cellar-like area next to the Fang Boar guarding the gates to the inner parish.Īfter being freed, or escaping after the Gargoyles are defeated if he wasn't freed by the player, Lautrec is found sitting in Firelink Shrine across from the imprisoned Fire Keeper, Anastacia of Astora. Lautrec is found imprisoned on the top floor of the church in Undead Parish, before climbing the ladders to the roof where the Bell Gargoyles are fought.
