"Dark Souls 2" - Huntsman's Copse Quiz

Answer: Licia of Linheldt

In order to get to Licia, the player must first defeat the Dragonrider boss fight at Heide's Tower of Flame. Once this is done, the player can speak to Licia to get her to come to Majula. Once this is achieved, she will be found standing next to the Ratunda, a device which will alter the structure of the building they're in to now grant access to Huntman's Copse but bar off Heide's Tower of Flame in the process. Of course, the player could still teleport in and out of Heide's Tower of Flame if they wanted.

If the player doesn't want to spend two thousand Souls and the time needed to get Licia to Majula, they can simply kill her, causing her to drop the Ratunda Lockstone and giving the player the ability to freely use it. Licia has a surprisingly high amount of health, access to end game Miracles such as Wrath of the Gods, and does not stagger easily, so killing her is easier said than done.

Answer: 8 in Intelligence and Faith

Felkin is a Hex focused merchant. Because Hex spells scale off of both Intelligence and Faith, having a prerequisite in these stats makes sense.

Answer: Ring of Life Protection

The Ring of Life Protection will prevent hollowing as well as stop the player from losing their Souls upon death, effectively negating any penalty apart from time lost that could be incurred by death. The ring itself will break in the process and will require repair before it can function again. This repair costs a mere 14,000 Souls, a drop in the bucket by the late game.

Answer: Forlorn

Referred to in the lore as "The Forlorn" but in game as simply "Forlorn", Forlorn attacks with a Greatsword and will follow the player to the ends of the Earth before they would even consider giving up the chase. That is to say, once Forlorn arrives, a fight is all but guaranteed unless a boss room happens to be right there.

It should be noted that Forlorn can invade the player in a total of eight different spots. Each time the player goes to one of these spots, as long as the area boss is still alive, there is a 10% chance Forlorn will invade them upon arriving.

Answer: Kill the nearest Necromancer

These skeletons are being controlled by a Necromancer nearby, making the solution to this problem fairly straightforward.

Answer: Bashful Ray

Bashful Ray is incredibly tanky and quite aggressive. If the player is invaded by Forlorn or the NPC Merciless Roenna, Ray can solo either one without the player's support, which is quite helpful.

Answer: A waterfall

A crashing waterfall shields this boss room from view. For a first time player with no assistance, this can definitely trip them up. Given the relatively linear design of the map, however, it won't stump most players for too, too long, as they'll eventually stumble upon it when exploring the map.

Answer: Strike

Strike weapons will make this fight easy to the point of being a total joke, as a Strike weapon which is even slightly strong will one shot the skeleton mobs, and will likely two shot the Lords themselves at the worst.

Answer: Hunt Undead

The Skeleton Lords eventually succumbed to the Undead Curse which the Iron King was trying to resist. This twist means the lords ultimately became that which they sought to hunt.

Answer: Merciless Roenna

Roenna is fortunately very easy to defeat, as she spawns right at the edge of this platform, and can simply be kicked off the edge to fall to her death. She staggers very easily, so the player could also just square up and likely defeat her easily.

Answer: The horse will crash and wipe out

In scaling this three story high tower, the horse attached to the chariot will be traveling up and down, patrolling. As it does so, it can run over the player for major damage, necessitating careful timing in making their way up to the top. Once the lever is pulled, a portcullis at the top of the tower will close, causing the horse to crash into it during its next patrol and wipe out.

The wipe out kills the Executioner and deals significant damage to the horse as well. The horse doesn't die however, and to finish the fight, the player must now kill it as it rises to attack the player.

Answer: Alluring Skull

Tossing an Alluring Skull will cause mindless hollows and undead to walk towards it. The player can simply throw an Alluring Skull in the Chariot's path right as it arrives, and the Chariot will happily plow them all down. They will not permanently die unless their Necromancer has been slain, however.

Answer: Roaring Halberd

The Roaring Halberd is basically a halberd with split physical/Dark damage. It unfortunately doesn't have any special weapon art or anything to that effect. This is used by one of the three Skeleton Lords, though it's unlikely anyone would've complained if the other two, much cooler looking Great Scythe or Aldia Warlock Catalyst could've been obtained as well.

Answer: Chariot Lance

This is one of two Lances in the entire game, the other being the Grand Lance. Compared to the Grand Lance, the Chariot Lance deals slightly less base damage and cannot be infused or buffed, though it deals innate Bleed damage. If you're picking the Chariot Lance, you're doing it for that Bleed damage, the value of which is slightly inconsistent. Against a boss who cannot be bled, such as Fume Knight, the Chariot Lance would be solid but still directly inferior to the Grand Lance.

Answer: Fire crossbow bolts

The Shield Crossbow is a 100% physical absorption shield capable of also generating its own offence to complement this. The shield can block attacks as it is firing a bolt, though it will suffer a penalty to its Stability if this event takes place.
