Ds2 is an easy game

I pulled this off first attempt of the day lol

[@D.H.1082]

2024 and people are still amazed at this strat, lol. I remember back in the day, every single host that I got summoned to went for that trick. I died from them more than the Pursuer.

[@BradCashew]

Dude for real lmao, I learned to just parry him and then gtfo of the way of the host

[@SgtJohnRemairez]

It's heartwarming to see all these new DkS players find out all these things for the first time.

[@DiahRhiaJones]

For real. Its like all the toddlers finding out about Minecraft today and yet it was in beta in 2009. Its like all the unfunny people finding out about Tim and Eric today on TikTok and meanwhile they effectively invented modern humor in the early 2000s.

[@WeeabooPocky]

Have you ever heard of "the ice rapier"???

[@opposition22]

It would be funny if every boss in the souls games was a gimmick boss, but we just never figure out those tricks.

[@SandwichMishima]

A hilarious concept lol

[@thesongofthelinnet]

Let's see...in ds1 most are gimmick bosses 1. Asylum demon: Grab black firebombs as starting gift, you can kill him first encounter 2. Taurus demon: lightning pine resin + plunge attack from tower 3. Quelaag: Stun lock by shooting her in the human chest with arrow/bow rinse repeat 4. Bell Gargoyles: weak against fire, spam fire bombs 5. Iron Golum: Summon Tarkus 6. Seath: Slumbering dragoncrest ring + range attack. He's literally blind and cannot attack you if he can't see. Wear that and the cursebite ring and it's a cake walk if you attack him range and keep moving he'll never hit 7. Gravelord Nito: Slumbering dragoncrest ring + Fall control + divine weapon. His big skellies won't aggro from the other side of the room and killing the ones that do with a divine weapon makes them stay down. 8. Moonlight Butterfly: Summon Beatrice and get a bow. Even in Ng+2 she does most of the heavy lifting 9: Ceaseless discharge: Grab his sister's clothes, run back to the fog gate 10: Bed of Chaos: destroy one shackle, quick quit out to leave the boss arena, go back in, hit the other. Quick quit again, run straight with shield up 11: Capra demon: Throw firebombs over the fog gate, you can kill him outside of the arena 12: Gywn: Parry him. Seriously, if you run right at him soon as you enter in the fogwall and hit the parry button soon as he hits the ground in front of you by the two rocks you'll parry him every time no matter what his starting move is.

[@michaelh.1484]

You'd be surprised in dark souls 2. Dragonrider, Pursuer, Flexile Sentry, Executioners Chariot, Covetous Demon, Scorpioness Najka (the knock off Quelaag), Dukesdearfreja Spider. Najka I've had difficulty cheesing because of the timing to run up her tails and get on her back. 1. Dragonrider falls off arena 2. Pursuer ballista 3. Flextile Sentry using poison 4. Executioners Chariot using bow 5. Covetous Demon there's pots with hollow prisoners break them and let jabba feast good distraction 6. Scorpioness Najka has a tail attack and possible to run up onto her back, also can get stuck by a tree 7. Dukesdearfreja Spider have a torch the little spiders will avoid you they hate light

[@thesongofthelinnet]

@@michaelh.1484I've killed all of those, I decided to actually fight the Pursuer because he's not tough, the executioner's chariot was still a little difficult because I had to kill the witches first

to do it stylishly though you gotta parry him, hit him with the ballista then throw a firebomb to finish off

[@MohamedIbrahim-wc8wq]

I did my first playthrough not long ago and I knew that I could use these in my advantage somehow but I guess I was too determined to beat the game as a challenge to the point where mastering the pursuers moveset is more rewarding to me. And it actually did, if you beat your first pursuer like that then good luck with cheesing your second one

[@SandwichMishima]

There's another ? 😦

[@MohamedIbrahim-wc8wq]

@@SandwichMishima Others, if you read the soul description it says that the pursuer will chase the chosen undead throughout Drangliec

I can't ever seem to pull this off, dude ends up smashing both ballistas every time... At least it's a fun boss to fight normally

[@user-wl9qj6fh5c]

Those dude whooped my ass for awhile and I had no idea you could do that 😂

[@angrymedic3803]

no remember the game is bullshit and like bad and you have to agro all the enemies in the level then die to them then show a clip of you dodging too early and getting punished for it so you can say "see these hitboxes are bad game bad". Thats the average DS2 youtube video

[@SandwichMishima]

Thats because they suck at timing their dodges lmao

[@Aldator]

Preferably you'll do this in Iron Keep, running past like 7 Allone knights only to corner yourself, try to defeat them with an unupgraded broadsword, claim that the enemies are ridiculously tanky after that fails and once you die, make another absolutely ridiculous claim such as "the game is clearly designed for ranged combat" or whatever you can come up with. Also don't forget to show the mimic grabbing you when you're standing behind it every time you complain about the hitboxes since that's the one hitbox that is actually just broken. Oh and blame "Gary" for making the elevators so damn slow, whoever the heck that is.

[@aceclover758]

When the same timing for my dodges in DS1 work gut fail in ds2, you know it’s not just “being bad” It’s cuz of adp and s beinr affectef by agility instead of only your equip lord

[@angrymedic3803]

@@aceclover758 it was a new system implemented to try and seperate heavy strength builds from the light dex builds. They wanted the player to think "i dont need to dogge if i have heavy armor or a shield." im sorry you cant pick up on that and simply complained like everyone else about DS2.

Would be easy if all the bosses had a gimmick like that but thats the only one.

[@generationfallout5189]

I just beat the pursuer first try when the giant eagle drops him in to the forest of fallen giants. Im a professional. In fact the very first pursuer i beat is the one in the tutorial area :P

[@SandwichMishima]

I didn't know there was one in the tutorial area. I'll come back to DS2 later I'm currently playing through Sekiro and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. They're great games.

Success is the journey, not the destination my friend.

[@HeroSword_P]

wtf no way could I pull that off from that distance and with armor on, i have to strip down naked and position myself next to the barrel to make it in time to the ballista.

[@dZ0647]

I think you can. There’s another way to do it to get him stunned In that spot before you even hit him with it I think you have to parry him I can’t remember

[@anton.chigrinetc.96]

Didn't know SotFS Pursuer was so slumbering. The original one wouldn't let you do it, unless you parry him and somehow get to the ballista faster than he stops freaking out.
