Roy climbed the tower above him, spotting another watchman among the worshipers around the dragon. He dealt with the watchman before it called for reinforcements hiding among the dragon's corpse.
There are more on the stairs above, including a bombardier who will lob firebombs from above, and a shielded soldier will come at him from around the dragon. Burning everything in sight Roy was rewarded with 2 Lesser Healing Potions, 2 Lesser Mana Potions, and a pair of Binoculars.
Before Roy headed back inside the building, he looked around the dead dragon's left wing for an alcove he could drop down onto. He found an alternate entrance to the building complete with a corpse holding 2 Gold Pine Resin.
Once inside, Roy noted the soldier on the left, and another behind some crates on the right carrying a shield. With a snap, he burned everyone inside the room leaving no survivors.
[You can level up!]
Roy collected 1 Lesser Healing Potions, 2 Lesser Mana Potions, and 2 Firebombs, from the Hollow drops.
As he left, Roy saw the stairs up on the left, and a corridor on the right with two hollows blocking the path. One is an archer and the other a spear-and-shield wielder, with two snaps they were set on fire.
There were plenty of enemies up top, as Roy started to get to the top of the stairs. He forgot about the actual Fucking dragon, that swooped down onto the tower in front of him and quickly ignited the entire upper area with him in it too.
[You died!]
[Host lost a level!]
A few minutes later Roy regained his level and fought fire with fire.
[You died!]
[Host lost a level!]
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
[You died!]
[Host lost a level!]
"Fuck Yooouuuuu DDDrrrraaaaaaggggooonnnnnn!!!"
[You died!]
[Host lost a level!]
"For Freeeedommm!"
[You died!]
[Host lost a level!]
Finally, Roy fought smart. First by boiling the dragon's eyes, then he bombarded the dragon with multiple explosions. After a few minutes later of blasting the dragon and a couple of mana potions later, he slew the creature.

Roy collected a Large Titanite Shard, 1 Minor Healing Potion, 3 Lesser Healing Potions, 4 Lesser Mana Potions, a Club, and a Claymore.
-Minor Healing Potion: Restore 10% of Health (close wounds, regenarate 2%/1sec Health for 5 minuets)
and a down on the right - however, if you
Heading back down, Roy burnt down the whole corridor with the large group of enemies. Going pass the corridor he took care of the two sitting soldiers on either side of the gate, and an imposing Lothric Knight
When the Lothric Knight was finally dead, Roy then collected 4 Lesser Healing Potions, 3 Lesser Mana Potions, and a Lothric Knight Sword.
As he entered the building that the Lothric Knight came from, Roy was extremely cautious and looked to the left to see movement in the shadows. A Hollow Thief tried to lunge at him but with a snap, the thief was turned to ashes.
Heading up the stairs Roy found a Titanite Shard and went down to get 3 Firebombs on the outstretched plank. Before he left through the other exit, he headed down the ladder and got ready to face a halberd-wielding Hollow.
After Roy turned the halberd-wielding Hollow into ashes he burned his way to the jail cell. Using transmutation on the cell door he unlocked it, he came back with the Blue Tearstone Ring, 8 Throwing Knives and a Mail Breaker knife
-Blue Tearstone Ring: Take less damage by 20% when HP is below 20%
Now Roy was making his way across rooftops, which is riddled with more worshippers. And another particular one who mutated into another one of those Pus of Man monstrosities. The creature doesn't last long before it's engulfed in fire.
Just around the corner from the rooftops in an alcove behind a window that hides a little Crystal Lizard. With another snap of his fingers, Roy killed it and got the Raw Gem for his trouble.
Heading down the ladder, Roy deals with the two archers with crossbows, and heads to a small rooftop awning above the plaza that holds a corpse with 3 Black Firebomb.
Roy went behind the ladder he came down on, to enter the building he was on top of. This room contains another patrolling Lothric Knight, armed with a long spear.
He's just as tough and aggressive as his counterpart above and tried to stab Roy with his Spear and bash him with its shield.
But Roy was able to avoid its stabbing attacks by keeping his distance and burning it to cinders. Defeating him it dropped a Titanite Shard.
After finishing the patrolling Lothric Knight, Roy goes to the alcove at the side, that leads up some stairs where he spots an archer waiting for him. However, he gets he gets the drop on it and a Hollow watchman just around the corner.
They all turn to dust after their all overcooked. Once done Roy left with 2 Lesser Healing Potions, 2 Lesser Mana Potions, a Titanite Shard, and 2 Undead Hunter Charms.
Roy headed back past the room the patrolling Lothric Knight came out of, to find a large open barracks area with several patrolling enemies downstairs. He breaks through the barrels on the first right to find a walkway balcony far above them with a corpse at the end holding 2 Green Blossoms.
From the third floor Roy goes down the long balcony to the very end. Where he finds his able to drop down to the second-floor balcony that is separated. There's a chest right in front of him containing an Astora Straight Sword.
Roy found there's plenty else to loot on the first floor. Starting with 5 Lesser Healing Potions, 7 Lesser Mana Potions, Silver Eagle Kite Shield, and a Titanite Shard under the stairs behind some crates. Taking the stairs back to the third floor, he faced soldier Hollow who tried to ambush him on the first alcove on his right and found a Broadsword behind.

Leaving the building, Roy returned to where the archers were outside that he already delt with. There's a ladder past where the two archers were and two more Hollow tried to ambush him from over the railings, and he found 3 Firebombs. The ladder took him down to the plaza and two more Hollow, but with two snaps of his fingers he delt with them.
Roy found there's a path that leads to the plaza. Now he finally enters the foreboding plaza where the very rotund Winged Knight is patrolling. He makes a wide patrol of the fountain.
Before facing the patrolling Winged Knight Roy leveled up. Raising 4 more levels, he used the 28 Attribute points and distributed 16 to Attunement, Raising his mana to 200. The remaining 12 points he put on Arcane, increasing his magical power. For perks, once he reached the levels 12 and 14, he received new ones.
-Pyromaniac: 50% damage with fire attacks
-Splash Damage: +25% Explosions damage and have a larger area effect
-Adamantium Skeleton: limb damage is reduced by 30%
-Jury Rigging: Repair any item using a roughly similar item.
-Purifier: +50% Melee and Unarmed damage against magical beasts and cursed beings.
Roy chose Strong Back lv2 increasing his Equip Load by 20, Jury Rigging, Splash Damage, and Pyromaniac.
As the patrolling Winged Knight charged forth in an attempt to do a large overhand swing. Roy activated his Black Madness raising his explosion damage by 215%.
Making every explosion strike done to the patrolling Winged Knight tearing it to pieces. it dropped a Minor Mana Potion and he found a Rapier and a Healing Potion.
-Minor Mana Potion Restore 10% of Mana (regenerate 4%/1sec mana for 5 minutes)
-Healing Potion Restore 25% of Health (close wounds, restore limps, regenerate 4%/1sec Health for 5 minutes)
Leaving the plaza behind, Roy watched for an ambush on the right by an archer up the stairs and a Hollow to the left of the stairs. With two snaps he turned them to ashes and headed up the stairs to the first flight, he headed right to find a rooftop access with a Ring of Sacrifice that required a bit of jumping.
-Ring of Sacrifice: If the user's Health points drop to zero, the bearer will not die, and the ring will be sacrificed instead.
Continuing up the second flight of stairs Roy comes to a small length of an area with one Hollow soldier, and four weak but fast Hollow that will climb over the sides to ambush him. After burning them, he checked behind the left side of the doorway he came in through to find 3 Green Blossom.
Entering the far doorway Roy found an elevator leading back up to the High Wall, where the locked door was to the right of the beginning.
"Hip-hip hooray! For shortcuts!"
Roy grabs the 6 Throwing Knives from behind the elevator on the top floor on his way back down.
