The heavy attack has a total of 120 poise damage I believe, because there are multiple instances in the attack where it deals poise damage

Technically Pinwheel is a necromancer, not a pyromancer

​@@TheHimbeerjoghurtPyromancy is the casting and manipulation of fire. Necromancy does not include casting fire. Therefore, what Pinwheel is casting is either pyromancy or ( very unlikely) fire sorcery.

It's hilarious how Vince has almost the same gear, minus healing, and still was able to beat Pinwheel unlike Petrus.

It looks like he actually uses a scimitar as a secondary weapon. You can see him switch later on in his fight.

What was that from again?

@@smeghead6041 It's from the infamous "He's back" video, one of Dark Souls biggest memes.

To be fair, they ARE two of the most OP NPCs in the fame, even lorewise, so... XD

Same with Onion Bro Seigmeyer. I don't think he even got hit in the fight.

Artorias said he was free.

Don't all of us beat Pinwheel like if we got somewhere else to be? "Fine, I'll fight you, but be quick, I gotta get to Nito"

so pretty much like actual players, no one wants to stick around Pinwheels area for too long

​@@elock1277 Not necessarily, I guess He's talking about the fact that in DS you can pretty much go anywhere from the start of the game. So with that fact in mind, Pinwheel would be one of the fist bosses you fight if you choose the catacombs at the start (but nobady would do that anymore because you would get stuck with the skelletons and then you would consult a guide). After that is tomb of the giants, and then the golden fog gate would tell the player "fuck off and get the lordvessel" so they get back on track for the bells.

@@elock1277 it supposed the play should down to the catacombs before or after kill the ares demon because when you come back in that time to the firelink sanctuary is when come the partners of petrus a talks about go down and another characters talks about that place.

I probably would've stuck with the plan of doing catacombs first if a holy weapon was an easier thing to get at the start. Since it's not it kinda makes it a temporary no-go area (at least for a player like me who doesn't like to run past things that could sneak up on her later, preferring to wipe stuff out as I go). So yeah the boss difficulty level seems misjudged with the completion method availability for the area. One's tuned to early-game, the other's tuned to early-mid.

@@Torthrodhel thought the same, it's pretty obvious once you enter the catacombs you're not supposed to be there, kinda like when you get to the ghosts in the flooded area. They should have put a holy weapon at the end of the graveyard and put the zweihander somewhere else. Honestly I think the area is easier than the typical beginning route, it's just that the skeletons become overwhelming early game because it takes so long to kill them.

The Catacombs are roughly stat lined to be in league with the Depths, and the first part of Darkroot. Which makes sense as you get the Divine Ember after Moonlight Butterfly. Presumably the "Intended" path is to either hit them before going down to Blightown or after coming back up from it seeing as you meet Rhea and get the Rite of Kindling hinted to you after beating Capra Demon if you don't head straight down.

Both of them: I'm going to give you a chance. Go ahead. Do something before this is over.

@@paladin181 meanwhile leroy: Okay guys, let's do this... LEEROOOY JEEEEENNsus christ it's already dead....jmmmm.... well, at least I have chicken...

First hit from Havel 3/4 of pinwheels life gone. I spit out my water lol

>shows up >kills Pinwheel >refuses to elaborate

Nico: *Condescending Hmmms*

There's a bit more environmental storytelling to Petrus. That talisman he's using? It doesn't scale with faith, so it's usually used by people who don't have much of it. Also, you find a regular talisman and morning star down the elevator shaft. I think the leading theory is that Petrus killed the real elite cleric, took his clothes, and shoved his body down the shaft.

@@grfrjiglstan DAMN! That second half of your comment is gruesome! But it lowkey makes sense. If Rhea, Vince and Nico did _not_ depart for Lordran together with Petrus and were instead meant to redenvouz with an Elite Cleric Knight, then this theory has a lot of credence to it! Maybe Petrus was also originally from Thorolund, but not a Cleric at all and he somehow managed to assassinate the Elite Cleric Knight that was supposed to meet up with Rhea's party. Personally, I still like to think he is a corrupt Cleric from the beginning, since I think that gives more layers of complexity to the entire Way of White church. While there would be honest souls trully blindly believing in their faith, there would also be those in power who'd secretly use their authority for their own ends. That's a nice theme that I think fits well within this universe, considering how Dark Souls in general is heavily inspired by Berserk. (where many supposedly "righteous" authorities were in fact rotten to the core) But I will admit that this theory you presented is very cool too! In fact, if I were to discard my personal preference, this would easily be my second pick right off the bat! I wouldn't know how to explain the Talisman and Morning Star hidden away in that chest otherwise! (though that could've also belonged to a prieviously failed Thorolund Cleric, who also embarked on an ill-fated quest for the Catacombs)

Personally don't buy the "murder-and-replace" theory for Petrus, there's no real reason for the imposter to act as Petrus, it's not lucrative or anything like Licia in Dark Souls 2, and he DOES know miracles. (Also if From wanted to push that narrative, I think they'd have a thief's set in one of the chests or a skeleton among the chests) Pretty sure he's just a corrupt 'cleric' who found himself cursed and sent out on a death sentence of a pilgrimage, and suddenly all his connections didn't matter any more once he had the Darksign. The loot seems more like just backup supplies, things he's hoarded or brought along with him to Anor Londo. The red orbs showing he's not above pillaging Humanity to keep himself away from Hollowing, after all there's little else keeping him from Hollowing any more...

@@Snickersnek _Hmmm, true._ All of your arguments are very much valid. :\ I still do like the "fake Cleric" concept as a side theory, but for the most part, I agree that the "corrupt Cleric" makes far more sense in light of what you've said. It's also the one I personally hold as my favourite.

please keep talking. I’m loving all the theroies

@@subject_of_ymir there is no official confirmation of Sifs gender but is also widely considered a she.

Watching sif run around brought a smile to my face 😊

I thought it was a he

Sort of makes sense, as she was designed to be the NPC summon help for Quelaag, who vomits fire on the regular. It's how Mildred doesn't die in two seconds every time Quelaag spits lava on the ground, naked though Mildred may be. She's got flash sweat on at all times. :-p

Yes indeed, but what now? Should i go the tomb of the giants? So many dangers...but fight my way back to the firelink shrine...ah...maybe i just wait here...hollowing in peace in this literal graveyard. Iconic. Hopefully the curse of the undead won't keep me waiting for too long...hahahaha

you gotta remember he is responseable for most of the firelink bloodstains

I mean, there are so many books laying around here, you have something to pass the time at least. You might even be lucky and go insane instead of going hollow like Logan.

he stopped fighting because he came to believe that ringing the bells is impossible, not because he's bad at fighting. if you pick a fight with him, he's a badass. hell, even after waking up frampt and sending him to new londo, he's still a threat.

@@crestfallenwarrior5719 ah, I'm sorry sir... I tried to spare you so many times, even avoiding you and that smelly snake in the hopes that you'd just linger at the shrine a bit longer. I miss your cynicism old friend.

I think it's a joke at pinwheels expense

I took it as "you can Leeroy (Jenkins) him and win"

Without him getting to Tomb of Giants just after reaching Firelink Shrine would be almost impossible

If only we had him for the tomb of giants first bonfire

I think it's super funny that they give you the most op npc besides Havel for the laughing stock of the series. I always summon him just to watch pinwheel get slapped

Completely forgot about that while watching.

i was so SO disappointed in Lautrec’s performance…

More like he thought the fight was over and walked away and then all the clones spawned xd

I think Lautrec was robbed of this victory. Watching the health bar I realized that some of the NPCs had their summon's stats while others had their regular stats. Prime example of this would be Solaire of Astora, who took nearly no damage from Pinwheel, despite his health and armor being comparable to Lautrec's, suggesting that he was actually a white summon. Lautrec is also summonable and I'm pretty confident that if he had the same stats as his summon for Gaping Dragon fight he would've won with ease.

@@SoulmongerV2 he just had to literally not just stare at pinwheel's faces at the end D:

He’s not very aggro and being aggro is the way to beat Pinwheel. He’s bulky enough that it wasn’t a problem tho

Also Quelana of Izalith. She did about half of Pinwheel's health with one fireball (I think it was a Great Fireball or Great Chaos FIreball).

Yeah, I saw her come out and absolutely ROCK his shit just after I made that comment.

@@orgastrange5861 Lmao. She's insanely powerful. Also pyromancies in general are so strong in Dark Souls 1. I love doing pyromancer builds in Dark Souls (not just Dark Souls 1, but all three Dark Souls games). I think Pyro builds are the most fun in Dark Souls 2, but arguably the most powerful in Dark Souls 1. Pyros can be fun in Dark Souls 3 but sadly they're never super powerful from my experiences. Pyromancy scales with int and faith in Dark Soul 2 and Dark Souls 3, and they can do a lot of damage with +10 pyro glove and 30 int & 30 faith in Dark Souls 2, but I feel like pyromancy scales in damage a lot slower in Dark Souls 3. Everyone seems to think you need 60 int and faith for pyro builds to do a lot of damage in Dark Souls 3. For casters of any kind in Dark Souls 3 (clerics, sorcerers, hexers even though hexes barely exist in DaS3, and pyros) it seems like people will aim for 60 (int, faith, or both int and faith).

@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce it helps that all the pyromancy teachers are good people.

@@watchfulwanderer6443 Definitely. This is kind of random and about a Elder Scrolls game but your comment made me think of how in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind there's a npc trainer who you have to use the "Calm" spell on in order to talk to him and have him train you in Enchanting (a skill to enchant stuff gear and weapons with magical effects). Imagine if in a Dark Souls game there were npc's that you had to trick into helping you, or you had to defeat them once in combat before being able to have them help you out.

This comment made me think, has anybody plugged a better AI into these characters and tried this? Like, a learning AI?

Well... Fire Keeper from Anor Londo did same, but still won.

@@moradan81 The thing is, they probably would. You have to remember that Lautrec is meant to challenge the player in a 3 on 1 fight, so his AI aggressiveness seems to be toned down a lot. My guess is that he was strong enough that trying to fight him early on is still hard, and that by the time you would crush him, he has killed the FK and fled, so you have to fight him 1 on 3. Because if you try attacking him in Firelink, you'll notice he's no where near as aggro as the crestfallen warrior

Lautrec's AI is so defensive, he tries to dodge any _action,_ not even attacks; if Pinwheel is jumping, flying, summoning, Lautrec is trying to "dodge" those things instead of attacking, no wonder he lost

Yeah, but he could have killed the Chosen Undead, yeah, I know the secrets.

I feel like he just got really unlucky with his targeting.

Lautrec wallking away like his job is done while Pinwheel summons several clones

He started off so well with the dodge rolls, but the clones confused his targeting to much.

@@crestfallenwarrior5719 Right. So what you want to do is take the elevetor to the church, don't worry someone is bound to activate it any day now, run pass the hollows, don't worry you are faster than them, and go to the blacksmithe. Ask for the Chrest of Artorias and go back to Firelink. DON'T go to Andre's basement, there is a Titanite Demon there it will murder you. Once back in Firelink, take the lift and go to the valley of the drakes. Ignore the treasure in front of the dead dragon and it'll leave you alone. Now, stick right and go up a cave, keep going higher until you reach a cross road. Turn right. Continue on the path until you reach a big stone wall. There might be a few angry bushes on the way but they aren't a match for you. Use the Chrest to open the door and you are in the hunter's forest.
