Strongest pursuer cheese combo(in his main arena) is parry him in front of a ballista and then shoot him twice with it, which is all you need to do to kill him

Trying to cheese him seems kind of dumb in Sotfs now that you have to fight him thirty times. Might as well figure it out the first time.

Any good advice on fighting Fume Knight? Mostly on equipment and buffs. I can get it to second phase pretty reliably, but get stomped on all day.

I’m doing a mostly STR build with som DEX for using good weapons. I suck at twitch dodging and have used a shield for my least terrible attempts.

I can get >30 load with rags, but if I go for >70 I can wear semi-decent armor.

My leveled weapons are a claymore, a broadsword, a Heide Sword and a magic halberd. Been mostly using the Heide sword since it’s fast.

Should I go for fire resist? Longroll? Slower but heavier? Rings? Fashion?

Watch the video where the guy does it without dodging or running and wallow in your own mediocrity. It's what I did

So apparently company of champions makes the game harder for no real reason? I've been playing on hardmode apparently!

Coc is regular mode, base game is easy mode.

Demon's Souls is pretty good if clunkier than Dark Souls but more importantly I got it working on RPCS3 so if you want What If Dark Souls But Slightly Harder to See you could try that.

? Demons souls is not very hard at all. I love the game but man it's a cakewalk especially after playing every other one

Best and worst cheese cause it saves maybe a minute over beating him by moving right and hitting r1 occasionally

It had a bug that made weapons break way faster because weapon degredation was tied to fps.

Weapons degrade a lot faster on DS2 compared to any other. It also throws at you upgrade materials so having more than one weapon upgraded is a must, that or having a lot of repair powder. A thing that kinda bothers me is that certain weapons have such low durability that make them annoying to use.

Are you playing pc unpatched. It's a known glitch tied to higher framerates

Sir alonne was my kryptonite. I died fifty or so time before I finally barely eked out a win. I just couldn't for the life of me judge the distance on his blade. Whomever managed to get him to commit seppuku get massive kudos from me. Other than that, fine knight and regular smelter are the only bosses that really gave me trouble in ds2. I've never seen alandra summon a velstatdt clone though so that probably helped a lot in that fight.

I still remember staying up all night for the Network test, trying for an hour to get in before they canceled it, and then doing it again the next week. I was so Exhausted at work the next day but it was worth it.

It's a good thing the player doesn't have any mysterious woman of uncertain origins guiding them towards a purpose they don't fully understand. You might start thinking they have their own hidden Manus agenda

Aldias inclusion actively makes the plot worse. The plots and themes were already perfectly understandable

Gaius Marius

Aldias is far worse than Amana, the keep is incredibly tedious and the hippos have the worst grapple attack in the game

The other two Dark Souls are far worse than two. Dks1 is a boring slog where you can skip a fourth of the game and three is a total mess of areas and story all slapped around haphazard.

First time through Dark Souls 1 I beat the Bed of Chaos flawlessly in one shot, and everytime since I've died like a million times sliding off the final jump.
