Desert Pyromancer Zoey Enemy Description

  • Zoey is a descendant of the desert pyromancers. She uses the Flame Fan, a pyromancy which conjures and brushes a fan left and right. She possessed true beauty, as did all the desert pyromancers, but hers did not poison, and so she became the unassuming queen of the feeble ones.

  • She is accompanied by two Hollow slaves.

 

Desert Pyromancer Zoey Combat Information

  • Wields Whip (RH) and Pyromancy Flame (LH).
  • Casts: Fire Orb and Flame Fan
  • Her whip at melee distance does significant damage. Melee fighters should approach with caution and block and dodge a lot and equip high protective armor.
  • Vulnerable to Vow of Silence, which prevents her from casting spells.
  • Uses 2 Estus flasks during the fight.
  • Drops Flame Fan.
  • EXTREMELY weak to thrust attacks. Long stick-like weapons are recommended.

 

Desert Pyromancer Zoey Notes & Trivia

  • She wears the Desert Pyromancer Set.
  • Can be killed by Harald Legion Knight.
  • Identically-dressed humans, also called Desert Sorceresses, appeared in Dark Souls II.
  • Players can eliminate her by pushing her off the cliff, at least up to NG+3, even if she has full health.
  • She is immune to swamps's poison, but at least her two companions will die of it.

      I think the safest strat for melee builds is to get far from her and wait for fireballs. They can be easilly sidestepped without rolling and you can punish her with sprinting R1. Takes some time to kill her, but she doesn't seem very happy to trade damage so she rolls away after every hit taken. Tested on Claymore.

        You can kill her by blasting her off the edge with force. Also when she is under the vow of silence effect she is still able to use the combustion from the pyromancy flame because it is technically a skill.

          I'm just glad she doesn't blast your face off with an rpg that she quick-draws out of her ass the millisecond you come anywhere near her like her Ds2 sisters do

            So she fell when dying In between trees and her item is now floating in the air… can’t grab it so basically screwed?

            • Anonymous

              She is also apparently immune to death by falling because I got her to less than 25% health and knocked her pff the ledge and she survived

                It's probably just the long slit skirt paired with the leather crop top and boots but she always reminds me of Trish from Jojo pt. 5.

                  Backstep + R1 (light attack) with the Black Knight GS when she barely gets into fan range works really well. Just make sure not to go too far, or she'll pull out the whip

                    So far she has rolled off the side of the cliff EVERY single time I’ve approached her and hasn’t even taken damage, much less die from the fall. Does the something break her fall or do enemies just not take fall damage? (So far, all enemies I’ve encountered so far haven’t taken fall damage unless they fell into a pitfall)

                      ****ing hate this ***** because I love playing Pyromancers and they're never that viable but this ***** just gets to fling out fire orbs at random and deal like 4 times the damage a player pyromancer can get from Chaos Bed Vestiges. Idk why they just decided to completely break the rules of most NPC fights for her

                        She is immune to Poison, but not Toxic. Toxic Mist actually works on her (she will try dodging it though).

                          I punch her with the caestus to kill her. I told her to stop wearing skimp ass clothes in public and she started getting lippy with me. I just don’t want to get arrested for waifu abuse.

                            Didn't manage to kill her using weapons or other stuff. At the sixth tentative, i roll at her left just to pass her, she attacked me a bit too much and just fell to her doom in the swamp below... that's quite embarassing, not sure more for me or for her :)

                              faith build? use vow of silence
                              str build? use a something big with armor and high poise dmg

                              none of the above? well, you are not a lucky one, but she still is not that hard with the right strategy.
                              Pick a good bow, kill the trawls from distance and have some quality time with her. Look for the moment she start casting a fireball to shot her. If you shot before she started casting, she will just roll, if you shot too late the pyro will hit you. You need to do this while walking back slowly to keep your distance, if she gets closer she will start using the whip, even closer and she starts using the flame fan.

                                Whoever at FromSoft thought it was a good idea to make this **** hit as hard as she does with a measly fire orb, DESPITE multiple sources of fire absorption/resistance, ought to be fired. If you're gonna give her that much damage, make her a ****ing invader instead.

                                  just killed Zoey and launched her off the cliff with my last attack. Now her Flame Fan drop is stuck on a rock and I can't jump down, because I end up sliding off the rock instead.
                                  Didn't need it anyways.

                                      Props to the guy who put "She is EXTREMELY weak to Thrust. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" and end it with lenny face.

                                        I really wonder, why is she hostile? But then again, the same can be asked about a whole bunch of other human NPC enemies and invaders.

                                          Was about to kill her then she jumped off the cliff into the swamp.

                                          As a final **** you she drank her estus and made me wait for her sorry ass to die of poison.

                                            Funny story. Two of my friends and I were on co-op at the swamp and after she rolled into a corner, we all ganged up on her. I basically dropped my controller cuz we were laughing too much after that

                                              The only reason why they included Earthen Peak from DS2 in the DLC was to be able to add the Desert Sorceress Set into the game lol

                                                  Great soul dreg is very effective at cheesing her because if it is cast from a distance her AI will not know how to dodge it

                                                    for pure melee, having a hyper armor weapon such as great hammers, curved greatswords etc lifts a lot of burdens here. hyper armor trades to defeat the thralls (while luring them to the branch to not aggro zoey). bait the fireballs if she starts spamming them and then if she goes for melee, make a trade and stunlock her. if she uses estus, continue hitting her (or use estus yourself if needed). this has worked a large amount of the time for me so I hope this helps

                                                      She rolls away if you fire arrows at her unless you aim low at her legs. Really helpful if you use The Millwood Greabtow, since the explosion usually kills her minions on the spot.

                                                            Strangely enough, Zoey CAN die to poison in the swamp. I knocked her of the path into the swamp below just now, but I saw her health bar ticking down BELOW the swamp. Clearly she'd glitched through the floor. I was using Demon Fists so there's no chance I dealt the poison damage, and she was ticking down in increments of 6 or so so it was definitely poison. She took a good few minutes to finally die down there, but when I reloaded the area, her Flame Fan had dropped on the slope, next to where she spawns. Her Thralls had somehow respawned too, but she was dead for sure. My guess is a.) She's not immune, just super resistant, or b.) Her immunity is only tied to the swamp's physical ground level. I've knocked her off plenty in order to get some cheap plunging attacks, but I've never seen her get poisoned before. Brand new discovery!
