This is especially the case if you’re good at managing your health while being cursed. Compared to the likes of the Ruin Sentinels and the Ancient Dragon, Nashandra is surprisingly easy. You’ll find this final battle to be either anticlimactic or a welcome reprieve from all the suffering you’ve endured up to this point.
Staggering the Revive caster will interrupt the resurrection but hopefully you can just kill that remaining boss in the process. The good news is that it takes time for them to cast Revive, making them open to attack. As you can guess, this can create a cycle of mild grief for you.

Why? Both the Watcher and Defender can cast Revive spells that resurrect the partner to full health. Ideally, you should get both bosses to 10% health or less without either boss dying. If he is still holding his shield, he might be prepping for a blunt, yet effective bash move. You know you’ve gotten his attention when he puts away his shield and starts wielding his sword with two hands, so be ready for a lethal combo. By contrast, the Defender’s attacks are lighter on finesse but heavier on brutality. If he’s pointing his sword at you from a distance, he’s reading a lunging stab. If he runs at you, be ready for a jump attack. If he holds his sword behind him, he’s readying a dash attack. Not only does the Watcher move around the battlefield quickly, he also attacks with great speed. The Defender moves much slower than the Watcher, which is something to keep in mind when trying to separate them. With proper baiting, you can take advantage of your best sweeping attacks and spells with large areas of effect to damage both the Watcher and Defender at the same time. The challenge in dealing with these two bosses is in managing your lock-on. Note: There is an optional quest in a place called The Dark Chasm of Old that will demand multiple Human Effigies from most players, so if you’re a completist, you might want save as many Human Effigies as you can. Assuming you have restored your Humanity, you can summon two phantoms at the same time, though defeating these remaining bosses aren’t much of a challenge solo. You can now unequip the ring and replace it with your combat ring of choice. With the King’s Ring equipped, approach the door, which will open automatically. Make a left upon exiting the bonfire room. To find this place, travel to the King’s Gate bonfire in Drangleic Castle. The last three mandatory bosses in Dark Souls II are found in the Throne of Want.
