How to unlock the Deacons of the Deep achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

This is easily one of the quickest and easiest fight in dark souls history.

The Deacons of The Deep is the 5th boss you will face and it's a very straight forward fight. Like in bloodborne with celestial emesary you need to find the real deacon. However the real deacon doesn't appear straight away and will be seen as a red soul moving from body to body. Simply attack that deacon that has the red glow and eventually you will face the real one and will just be able to pound on him.

Don't worry about the adds as they are infinite spawning and don't do much damage unless you just stand there and let them.

Found in the Cathedral of the Deep.

You can summon Anri and Horace to help you if you’ve been following their story. This fight is pretty easy as it is purely a room full of regular enemies, but be mindful of getting surrounded and swamped as they keep respawning. Make sure to take cover before you heal too, as they tend to cast fireballs at range. To start with just focus on killing enemies, especially the ones with the red eyes, eventually one specific enemy will be possessed and you can then focus on just taking him down.

Don’t be afraid on killing a bunch of the weaker enemies to clear some space at any time, as they can soon become overwhelming. However, the generally do slow melee attacks up close or fireballs at range, the fat ones can also do a holy blast that can knock you down.

It's not even a boss, per se, but a lot of mobs (priests). First of the battle, we hit the mobs highlighted in red, and along the way we hit the little things.

In the second stage we beat the chief deacon. He essentially has one attack, cast a curse, however, if he hits, he will instantly kill.

Drops - soul (can be exchanged for the Deep Soul spell)

It is recommended to take a weapon whose attacks occur in a wide arc to make it easier to thin out the crowds of priests.

Use a beautiful skull to distract the crowd and gain access to the body of the possessed.

Fifth boss, in the second phase 6 deacons are summoned in the center. Riffles and white shards help (for distraction). Estus is best drunk behind pillars to avoid being hit or injured by fireballs.

Your goal is to hit the deacon, who is glowing with red fire. After you kill him, the sphere will fly to another deacon and everything will repeat.
At about 50% HP, 6 deacons will appear in the center, one of them will be with a large staff and wearing a hat - so you need to beat him as hard as you can (make sure you don’t get pinched!) - at this moment the main thing is not to go far and not to hide for a long time, otherwise the deacons will begin to cast curse magic (black spheres flying at you, dark ceiling), which builds up very quickly and at 100% you turn into stone and the boss is lost.
