[Dark Souls II: SotFS #9] Down (Equal Stats Challenge)

I descend into the Undead Crypt after grabbing some rings and spells for later.  After a lot of pain, suffering, and Leydia Apostles, I reach Velstadt and dispatch him surprisingly easily with fisticuffs and lightning.  Returning to the gate of Aldia's Keep, I slowly make my way through, constantly plagued by ogres and a surprisingly-high quantity of player invaders.  The Guardian Dragon goes down quickly to my trusty Crypt Blacksword, and I proceed onward to Dragon Aerie, taking a brief break to use Bonfire Ascetics to refight the Old Iron King and the Duke's Dear Freja, vanquishing the first with lightning and the second with fire.  My rings break multiple times throughout my trip through the dragons' nest, but I make it to Dragon Shrine and close things out with one final parley with a flaming head at the bonfire.
