Stage 1

For the first half of the battle you’ll be dealing with Lorian and as the cutscene shows he lacks the ability to walk, but that doesn’t stop him. Lorian teleports around the arena in a white light, either to get closer or as part of his attack, and you’ll want to roll the moment this occurs because he does so extremely fast.

Once you understand this part of the fight the rest of Stage 1 becomes much easier, with your priority being to roll under his attacks and then strike.

Watch out for when he rises onto his legs and slams his blade down in a massive strike and don’t be afraid to back up a few feet to use an Estus Flask, just don’t go too far or he’ll teleport and slap you mid heal.

List of Lorian’s attacks in Stage 1:

  • Horizontal Sweep: Sweeps his blade in a horizontal arc
  • Downward Slam: Raises the blade and slams it into the ground
  • Lunging Attack: Lunges forward with the top of his blade to pierce through you
  • Flame Wave: Slashes upwards, creating four trails of flame that spread outward
  • Raised Slam: Rises to his feet and slams down with a blade of light

Roll through the majority of Lorian’s attacks, but be wary when he rises to his feet and slams him blade downward in a flash of light.

Stage 2

When you bring Lorian to his knees his brother will come down and resurrect him, riding his back for the remainder of the fight. This is were the fight gets really nasty because not only will Lorian get addition deadly moves, but Lothric will now use magic to deal ranged damage.

Focus your attacks on the side or back of Lorian, as this will damage both twins and the objective is to kill Lothric, and keep moving. You’ll want to try and dodge Lorian’s attacks and then attack aggressively in the small window you have before Lorian strikes back.

If you bring Lorian down again you’ll want to focus on Lothric while he resurrects his brother, even though you’ll take some damage from the blast of energy released.

List of Lothric and Lorian’s attacks in Stage 2:

  • Holy Flame: Charges his blade, releasing a beam of holy flame across the ground
  • Soul Spear: Shoots a spear of fast magic straight ahead
  • Magic Soulmass: Summons a number of small homing soulmasses

Lothric will join the fight, using ranged magic and reviving his brother.

“Only in truth the lords will abandon their thrones and the unkindled will rise. Nameless accursed undead, unfit even to be cinder.”

You are an Unkindled, a being of ash, unworthy of becoming even a Lord of Cinder. You awaken in the Cemetery of Ash to the tolling of a bell, signalling the approaching end of the First Flame. You must seek out the embers of the First Flame and defeat the Lords of Cinder so the flame can be linked again.

“And so it is, that ash seeketh embers…”
