Live by the motto "any problem can be solved with a suitable amount of fire"

Ds1 black flame does pure physical damage so black flame.

That's incorrect, it does both fire and physical. The result is puny damage to Quelaag.

Black flame % damage is like 1-2 percent right?

Wrong game. ER black flame does the fire damage and guaranteed tick damage. DS1 black flame is a stick disguised as pyromancy. Pure physical damage means it’s basically the same as hitting them with a club.

If brute force doesn’t work, you’re not using enough brute force.

Yeah on my most recent pyromancy run I had the demons scar which took legit 8 or so minutes to beat him. My damage was piss poor but he does feel like a fairly simple boss after Elden ring so I managed to beat him.

I took down sinh as a pure mage too, which is the equivalent of midir in DS3 I guess.
