How to unlock the High Lord Wolnir achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

High Lord Wolnir is the 7th boss fight you will find and he can be a real pain if you let him be.

The fight may sound simple on paper but sometimes it can be hard to complete. Basically to complete this you need to destroy the glowing things on his arms. However the left arm sometimes doesn't let you hit it and either goes through the floor or stays in the gas which is poison. You can't get past him so don't try running past him and don't let him back you into the wall at the back as he spits out gas that will kill you very quickly.

But if you don't damage him fast enough he will manifest a sword which will hurt a lot if it hits and he will spawn bone wheel skeletons along with regular ones that will come back to life.

Basically start with the left hand, see if you can bait it and destory it then do the right two.

I ran in naked with a +7 Astora Short Sword and was able to take the left had very quickly. So long as you do not stay locked on, not two hand the weapon, that is - locking on will, at least in my attempts, stay on the hand and not the bracelets where you need to do the damage; in addition to the free camera to watch for swipes to you can dodge. Race in and 2 shots of RB+RB+RT and the bracelet is gone. The added stamina with nothing else quipped gives you more then enough to attack and still dodge.

I think this achievement is bugged. I definitively killed him since I just miss three bosses to end the game and I haven't unlocked this yet.

EDIT: I can confirm that It was bugged. Got It on NG+ by killing him again.

Found in the Catacombs of Carthus.

This boss is fairly easy if you know what you are doing, simply put you need to break the three shackles on his arms. When you enter the room make a dash for his right arm (the one to your left) and smack it repeatedly before he can stand up, with any luck it will break and make your life easier as he rarely lowers this arm and it can be a pain to attack. Don’t get too close to him as he has a poison cloud around him that can ruin your day, he will also summon a large sword to attack you, try and grab/crush you with his arms, breath a large dark cloud and summon skeletons to attack you.

Try and dodge these if you can – as generally Wolnir will kill them himself when attacking. Focus on breaking the shackles to kill him quickly.

After defeating the Void Guardians, the Lords of Ash, head down the main stairs (don't forget to light the fire below) and look for the wooden suspension bridge. This boss will be right behind him.

The boss is pretty simple. Has 2 attacks: punches and exhaling a poisonous cloud of smoke.
All you need to do is break the 3 rings on his hands. We dodge and, choosing the moment, deliver several blows. Repeat until victorious.
Beware of the cloud of smoke you exhale, you can die very quickly.

The boss calls on skeletons to help him, be careful.

One simple way: wait until he crawls towards you, sprint under him and run behind his hands. He doesn’t hit under himself, so calmly run out, hit the rings and back under him.

One of the easiest bosses.
He has 3 gold rings on his hands - two on his left, and one on his right.
To defeat him you need to break them and that’s it. But!!!!!!!! If you break 2 rings on your left hand, then he will take the sword in his right hand and it will be more difficult. So you can do what I did: break one ring on your right hand, then on your left, then again on your right.

It is not necessary to hit the rings themselves, you can also hit the hands
