A full commentary walkthrough of Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin played on Linux using Steam Proton. In this episode I explore the rest of The Lost Bastille, and defeat the Ruin Sentinels but not before popping back to the No-Man's Wharf to pick up the Fragrant Branch of Yore I missed in the previous episode. Ruin Sentinels Boss Fight This is a three v one boss battle, but initially you will only face one Ruin Sentinel on a narrow ledge so defeat it there, and drop down in the main area once the other two Ruin Sentinels have jumped up on the ledge. When fighting two at once, do not get greedy and make sure to not get surrounded, and take it slowly, only attacking when you get an opening, eventually you will wear them down.
