Belfry Gargoyles (Dark Souls II)

The Belfry Gargoyles are a collective boss in Dark Souls II

Location
The Belfry Gargoyles are located in Belfry Luna. The player must use a Pharro's Lockstone in the area below the Cardinal Tower bonfire in The Forest of Fallen Giants to enter Belfry Luna. To raise the gate that blocks the boss area, the player must pull a lever at the top of the tower.

Description
These gargoyles are similar in appearance to the Bell Gargoyles in Dark Souls. They weild large spear-like weapons.

Strategy
Two gargoyles are present at the start of the battle. One is on a pedestal to the immediate left upon entering the boss area, while the other is on the right, further away from the player. Keeping your distance from the gargoyles is recommended so magic and ranged weaponry is the best option. They use slashing, stabbing, arial lunges, and fire breathing. More gargoyles will fly in and join the fight so killing them as quickly as possible is advised to keep their numbers managable. If the player chooses to use close ranged weaponry, keep all present gargoyles in your range of sight, take your time, and wait for an opening in their attacks.
