You can also skip Ruin Sentinels by parrying the Swordsman on the wall near the Exile Holding Cells and running around to the Bastille Key.

Yeah, I know of that one too but I wanted to show the other one instead as it demonstrates that you can use ladders to change your elevation while parrywalking, all of the other party walks I did were on a level plane

[@historicflame972]

@@BaronsCastle Btw how did you kill the first pursuer like that?

[@Lon3wolf3]

via jumping over that gap from the ladder, it spawns pursuer in and kills him on his way back but you have to walk back on the wall. it basically deloads him from what i understood and the game considers him "killed"@@historicflame972
