Just call me Parry Styles. Its time to return to Drangleic, the land of hot pyromancers, invisible kitties, and inch-perfect hitboxes. But of course the real question is... can you beat Dark Souls 2 Normally?
Seems unlikely.

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.

[@BaronsCastle]

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

[@maxdriever7668]

@@historicflame972I know this comment is seven months old, but when he jumped past the ladder, he entered the trigger to spawn the pursuer. When he went back to the bonfire, it reset everything, which gave him the benefits of killing the pursuer.

ok but can we appreciate how the Chariot actually has a unique death animation for all the madmen who decided to kill it without using the lever???

[@BirnieMac1]

I appreciate the amount of music Baron made/had commissioned for the meme(s) in this video The xylophone intros to each section are just beautiful

[@NobleLeader6]

It is awesome how he makes his own music for the videos. For the intro to each section, that actually comes from DS2's soundtrack. I think it's either the main menu theme or it plays in Majula, but it's sadly not one of Baron's own creations.
