How to CHEESE Old King Allant with Poison! - Demon's Souls

[@exalphagosthedestroyerofwo4873]

Some day I'll play the souls games they were intended to be played... but today is not that day.

[@manservanthecubus1963]

Heh. Might as well cheat a cheating boss :)

[@manservanthecubus1963]

The funny thing is, I've played this version 5 or 6 times without cheesing anything and I never had Allant steel a soul lvl from me. I think I just got lucky.

[@mars188]

the day will never come

[@gregdrake9377]

I literally just laughed my a** off @ this. Because, well, Bloodborne was my first souls game and I would just look up “how to easily defeat each boss” before fighting them, and most of the bosses I killed very easily and on my first try. But the funny part is a lot of the videos weren’t actual “cheeses”, they just told you what buffs to use because the boss was weak against whatever element. Almost every boss went down in a second. For me Bloodborne was one of the easiest games I’ve played. Is that because of the fact I looked up KZbin videos to get through it? Maybe. But I still had a ton of damn fun. :)

[@lucacastellucchio1792]

@@gregdrake9377 yes sure.. how did you beat Ludwig on new game plus? I am stuck there.

[@Xephez]

I was actually trying to kill him the real way, but he stole 15 levels from me, so I took him to the 🧀 factory 😒🤣

[@Xephez]

@trollnerd yeah, made a new character cause I felt dirty doing it like that and killed him for reals

[@MakersOfMen]

If you dashboard before dying you keep your levels and spawn at the bottom of the elevator

[@junkano]

@@MakersOfMen damn. Been looking for this. He ate so many levels that I couldn’t even get past the normal adds anymore

[@MakersOfMen]

@@junkano ohh that’s a big L, I hope you can back to it then

[@SlayerRunefrost]

How in the blue fuck did he catch you with that slow ass, hell telegraphed shit 15 time?!?! Did you go AFK? Drop your controller and it fell under the couch? Controller died? I could see 1 or 2, maybe even 3 (he caught me twice, didn't help him) but FIFTEEN FUCKING TIMES!?!?

[@SpinningTurtle66]

Still works, but I’d recommend staying a bit father back. I thought the spell wasn’t working until I realised it was being cast way in front of him, so I stepped back to near the end of the purple carpets on the stairs and it worked.

[@Amatsuichi]

same happened to me, I was like its not working then I saw the green smoke far in the front... now I am just standing and looking at his hps going down :)

[@kamyar9085]

Doesn't work properly for me, i should turn back and use the spell again and again

[@lowdavey9474]

Went through the same thing used idk how many fresh spice before I realized this.

[@jeffreykrikie2507]

Just don’t lock-on to him and place the spell at your feet. Works fine that way

[@joemappin839]

Nurfed

[@flintwalters9921]

As many times as this game as screwed me over, I don't feel guilty using this method whatsoever. The poison will do 900 damage every time you cast it. You only have to use about two pure spices. This game is about using your head, not just your sword.

[@Trowsiff-uk]

Hahaha, my wife has never touched a PlayStation controller in her life but when I went to make a coffee I put my dualsense in her hand and gave her your simple instructions to follow, when I came back Allant was dead 😂. Not many people can say the first time they ever played a PS game they took on King Allant and beat him flawlessly😂🤣 Thanks for the vid, great cheese 🧀☝️👍

[@manservanthecubus1963]

And thus cheese creates a gamer. Good deal!

Feels like looking at a loading bar :D

[@Nemman91]

still working august 2024!!!! thank you, it was really helpful!

[@Elefantoche]

Still working at September 2021. If it doesn't work for you, just try not to lock on him when casting and be at 1 - 1.5 mts away.

[@andrewstang2686]

This is the best cheese in a souls game yet I've played them all and always get my butt kicked by bosses so this was a nice change to kick butt

[@KuraiShogun]

Now that's how you fight poison with poison

[@gamingwithhealedcaboose6441]

Can confirm this cheese still works November 2023. After getting my butt handed to me (and levels drained) a fair few times, i decided that unfair tactics call for unfair cheese xD 😂

[@docdelta]

This was viciously dishonorable. I loved it.

[@mog_3825]

AT LEAST hit him with your sword when he's 1 shot.🤣

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

i was going to do that but figured he would kill me in one shot lol 😂

[@lachcik5084]

@@ThePorkchopExpress975 lol

[@INFRAREDiZNYC]

If it weren’t for the fact that he can Lower your levels I would’ve thought him the way it was supposed to be done and eventually beat him but I don’t want to jeopardize losing any of my harder levels so I’m going to try this later, Hopefully this still works

[@Bigp1077]

Currently on my first playthrough of Demon Souls and I came across this video. You sir(or madame) are a genius and you have my thanks!!!

[@vault29a]

Why are you ruining your experience with such things? I wonder.

[@plewlonehitknown4812]

I did it with arrows. cheap boss then... I remained at the entrance, so he won't recognize me. I pulled the bow and shot a ton of arrows at him, making a bit damage every time. He did nothing but vanquish after a (pretty long) while. It was the ps3 version. I heard the team did not change any programming on this one. greetz from germany

[@KxrbonTh30ry]

Lmao allant in the thumbnail had me dying

[@manservanthecubus1963]

He's happy to be cheesed.

[@lst9356]

Love the step by step bro it still works !

[@agnuskasah6146]

You sir..deserve a beer

[@manservanthecubus1963]

Thanks! I'll go have one now. :)

[@DanielJamesShirley]

Love the big red arrow pointing at him as he walks towards you! 😂😂

[@MuhammadHassan-vx7eo]

The pain of seeing this video after beating him the hard way 😰

[@manservanthecubus1963]

You beat him the RIGHT way.

[@MuhammadHassan-vx7eo]

@@manservanthecubus1963 aye. It was so satisfying. Though he did drain my soul level 5 times 😂. The warding spell was what made it possible

[@Baltiquee]

You have honor 👏👀

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

i’ll fight him properly when i get a ps5 and plsy that version. for now on the ps3 im going to cheese him because the developers cheesed me so much

[@gaiaorigin9569]

I beat him face-on the second try. Just keep him at a distance, he is very challenging in close combat. His charge attack and the loading sequence of the AoE-spell are great opportunities to land a few hits. For the charge attack, roll diagonally towards him just before he hits you - this leaves him wide open for one or two hits. The AoE-effect can be stopped by attacking him, here you can usually get two or three hits before he attacks again. I would really go for dodging in this fight instead of blocking, he does massive magic damage and most of his attacks are rather easy to dodge. For his "I take your souls" - attack, he usually only does this in close combat - keeping him at a distance completely prevents this attack. False king Allant is exactly the way a boss fight should be - epic scenery and a challenging, but fair fight. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

[@mog_3825]

Dark silver shield has 100% magic and regular damage defense

[@rez41]

Can confirm this is still working in Jan 2022, some people in the comments said it seems to only damage to a certain point then becomes ineffective but did all the way for me.

[@manservanthecubus1963]

Good to know. Thanks for letting us know, Rez!

[@jesse3086]

In the end it was we who were the demons. Get Cheesed, Scrubllant

[@a7m111ed]

It takes long time but very effective nice 👍 this is real chesse

[@willye568]

Sometimes cheese is necessary 😂

[@crywolf1249]

Still works as of June 2024 but I had to use the thief’s ring

[@manservanthecubus1963]

Yes. That's part of the strategy detailed in the video.

[@Andynubes1718]

It work for me today, thanks man. If Anybody wondering just cast the spell from stairs don’t get to close on him it won’t work

[@DitchDigger311]

This worked! Thank you for posting.

[@momoraven8577]

Great method bro, fighting smart is always more effective.

[@lucacastellucchio1792]

Honestly I wasn't even entertaining the thought of fighting him with 91000 souls on me! Beside it took me forever to get to him. Oohhh..good ol' poison cloud.

[@Pimp.Named.TribeCQ]

I feel as if though this is the deffinition of cheese

[@manservanthecubus1963]

If not, it's darned close :)

[@Sir_Slimbread]

I'm going to try and beat him legitimately, but if he steals 10 levels from me, this will be his fate.

[@DarkLight895I]

This is insultingly easy, thank you!

[@woofaki5550]

You can move,i usually go hide myself on the left side until he turns around.

[@Maxplaygames]

still works April 2024 thx man

[@manservanthecubus1963]

My pleasure.

[@brandonball5971]

I tried him once when I saw he csn take away my souls I decided to cheese

[@darkwyzard1986]

Thx mate! I wasted more time trying to kill the blue dragon than king allant. In the original i've killed the dragon very easy

Poison... silent but deadly :D Love the cheese, thank you.

Amazing.... Work in may 2024....Thanks

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Dude what a patience you have, not even going for the last hit

[@gotterdan6047]

April 2024........STILL WORKS!!!

[@dennisjakobus807]

I like a good old cheese!

[@Alias0225]

I just bait his lunge attack by being far away from him repeatedly like a normal person

[@manservanthecubus1963]

This isn't about whether you SHOULD use this method. It's about that you can if you want to, normal person.

[@melvintheijssen]

It worked for me, took 20 minutes but it was worth it.

[@simonegiotti]

Speedrun strategy, could be the new world record

[@miliamince]

I think you mean “snail run” 😉

[@netoantonio]

i did it but he was the last boss to me, so i kinda regret doing this.

[@manservanthecubus1963]

Beat him legit on your next playthrough. This isn't meant to be the MAIN way to kill him, just a different, cheesy way.

[@punisher8632]

that’s why you kill all bosses legit way the first time. By sword by casting a not so cheesy magic attack or a bow. That’s what I did all sword boss kills except 1 boss kill with a bow . the spider that spams you with web and fire ( you don’t want me to get close to you , you damn spider? well then fuck you 🤣) after new game plus it was the same run. I’m on new game ++ and I had to cheese maneater (with poison cloud ) and flamelurker ( soul ray spam ) I’m on this guy right now and I can’t deal enough damage with northern Regalia so I’ll just cheese him somehow.. hopefully this works

[@lindsay1989]

Blessings of Umbasa upon you!!!
