    How to unlock Pontiff Sulyvahn

    Boss Location: Irthyll of the Boreal Valley
    Optional: No, story related.
    Recommended Level: 40

    Pontiff Sulyvahn can be found in the Irthyll of the Boreal Valley, just after the High Lord Wolnir fight you will come to this area.. He is a very tough fight in my opinion (reminds me of Fume Knight from Dark Souls 2). You can summon an NPC outside the boss room if you have your ember restored. This way, the boss will usually focus on him as Sulyvahn is very aggressive. He has two swords. One infused with fire, one magic. You have to roll very carefully and get the timing right as if he hits you, you will lose more than half of your health. Stick as close as you can to him, and move around him. Once he attacks, roll, and then get a hit or two off. He has 1 hit, 2, hit and even 3/4 hit combos so it can be difficult to now when it is safe to attack.

    When he gets down to around half health, he will spawn in a clone of himself that has a fair amount of health. You can either kill this one, or focus on the boss. The clone has the same attack patterns as Sullyvahn is using. So, if Sullyvahn does the jumping attack, the clone will do the same but shortly after. The clone will also stick pretty much right next to Sullyvahn as well, which can make killing it difficult. This is why I recommend the NPC summon outside, this way the clone or Sullyvahn will split up. For a visual walkthrough, you can refer to the video below.
