I beat Old Hero but couldn't get the "safe spot" to work at all. Actually had a good attempt where I'd melee him a couple of times, run away to get some distance then roll to evade his attacks until he started prowling again. Got him down to about 30% before I got stuck on a pillar and took 2 hits.
Actually raised a question. When you roll using the dodge button are you invincible during the animation? There were a couple of times where it looks like any enemy's weapon has hit me but not had any effect whilst mid-roll but not 100% sure.
Anyway, after that attempt followed a few more useless ones where I died incredibly quickly. Was getting to the point where I was getting rather fed up of repeating 4-2 over and over again only to die incredibly quickly so decided to cheat in the end and equipped Thief's Ring which seemed to do the trick. Annoyed that I don't really feel I've beaten this guy in a proper manner but after being stuck on this level for over 6 hours I had to progress.
Actually got invaded by PC black phantoms twice on that stage (before I gave up using Stone of Ephermeral Eyes and went for it in Soul Form) but sadly never got to see my invader either time as both happened when I was mid-battle and the distraction led to me killing myself by rolling off the cliffs.
Now on the second part of the Valley of Defilement and there's a Black Phantom down in that swamp with a massive sword who kills me in a single hit.
