Learn how to defeat the Covetous Demon in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Includes strategy for the Chariot and skeletons.

The first part before lowering the gate is difficult. You must take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (a mechanic allowing players to hide behind objects to avoid damage) from the Chariot before it squashes you. Also, the skeletons are pesky and are revived by two necromancers which need to die. After the death of the executioner, the horses are not very difficult to kill, but higher defense and distance is needed.

Tips
  • Focus on eliminating the two necromancers first to prevent skeletons from reviving.
  • Be prepared to use cover effectively against the Chariot's charge.
  • Once the necromancers are dealt with, the horses become less of a threat, but maintaining distance and having high defense is still recommended.
