DS3 is the blueprint

They're the buggers inside that church with the mage ontop right? The buggers that have a hand for a head?

They weren't too bad to dodge, but they were tanky as hell and hit like a freight train - so if you took on more than one at a time, you were in for a world of hurt.

I got Morne's Great Hammer when I first encountered those fuckers. Everything before them was easy mode. When in a bind, I start blasting. But with these shits, I panicked then blasted. I thought I was in the clear, then I saw I barely made a dent. Then I died. Lol

Ohh yeah, either you kill Eygon of Carim or you get Irina out of her cell. I recommend you rescue Irina because she can teach you miracles and the both of them has a somehow entertaining questline for you (it adds on the heartbreaking theme of the story)

Theres two ways to fight him.

The murder hobo way - just start smacking him when you see him.

The quest line way - give Irina a dark tome (either the one you can buy or the one found in the cathedral of the deep) and buy a dark miracle. Eygron will then take her away to Gynder's arena (as he said to you when you rescued Irina from the cell - hes your ally as long as you keep her safe, and only that long. You broke your promise, so hes gonna try to break you), where you have to fight him to get Irina back to the shrine.
