The real danger is the straight line flame blast, because if he fires that while you’re lining up a shot, you are literal toast. This is the optimal place to cheese Midir, and it’s still a little tricky. There’s usually a message here advertising the safe zone. First, run forward hugging the left wall to climb up on the rocks a bit. It’s not too hard to knock him off, either. Now, you can just run past Darkeater Midir, if you're quick and time it well, but if you knock him off you clear this area for good, and open an optional boss fight with him, which, as we already mentioned, you should definitely ignore as it is awful in every way. There's a far better option just a little further on. This seems like a good spot for a cheese, but with feather arrows and a fully upgraded Black Bow of Pharis I was only getting about 35 damage per shot if I managed to bean it right on the nose, and at that rate even I lost patience. Darkeater Midir has two flame attacks here – a sweeping beam that travels from right to left (your orientation), and a straight blast that is aimed directly at you, wherever you are.

If the messages are anything to go by, this boss has broken many a player. Since this is a short chapter, we've also included a guide to beating the optional boss, Darkeater Midir, but be warned, dear cheeseburger assassins: this is a very, very tough boss, designed for the hardiest of players, and not glass-jawed little sneaksters like us. Along the way we'll unlock an optional boss, open the shortcut gate right back to the Ringed Inner Wall, find the path to the optional boss and collect some sweet loot. This is a pretty eventful section, even if geographically it is short. This Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City walkthrough chapter covers the short run from the Shared Grave bonfire back to Ringed Inner Wall.
