Hey Duders! I know that there is a pretty strong Dark Souls community here, and I'm not much of a Reddit fan, so I thought I would come to y'all with the following question: what does the fire resistance stat mean, and specifically how does it relate to/impact the fire that the Hellkite Dragon has been using to smoke my ass for years now? I have been to wiki's, I have done google searches, etc...and while I can find tips for how to kill the thing, I have never been able to without cheating (literally cheating, with a cheat engine thing for PC). Currently I'm on NG+ and I am pretty ludicrously overleveled, but the thing still just straight up smokes me. Sometimes I can get a few hits in, but typically he'll decide to do his fly up and shoot straight down attack, which I can survive one hit from but will eventually succumb to when he stops walking around/trying to stomp on me and just does the flame attack several times in a row.
I guess I just want to know what a good flame resistant stat is. Currently, I can get it up to 388 with non-upgraded gold hemmed armor, but it really doesn't seem to do much, and even with a flame resistant shield I typically just end up stun-locked to either near death or outright death.
Could someone just give me a simple break down of what a good flame resistant number is for this fight? Is it as cheap as it feels? Is there something I'm missing? If you need any additional details, just let me know. One important point: I would say I'm okay at best at Souls games. I like them, but I tend to overlevel myself and just block shit Vinny style because I get a little too panicky when trying to dodge.
