Finally! Did it first try this morning too. Funny how I got stuck on these. You guys ever get that? Where you get stuck on something you know you should be able to pass but, for some reason, you just can't? I guess my frustrations with it only made it worse too

The gargoyles are really troublesome if you fight them early. It's like Belfry Gargoyles meets Four Kings. I know what you mean. I fought The Pursuer about ten times with no luck (I'm playing DS2 again!) and then the next time I played I changed my tactics on the fly and got him on the first attempt. I realized that he's a pain in the ass up close and at a distance but not at mid-range. |

I didn't mind him as, if I recall correctly, circling left avoided almost all of his attacks. Hardest part for me was ensuring I had enough endurance to fend of his big hits and still provide a counter EDIT : Oh and, with the gargoyles, I didn't just change my tactics I also upgraded a regular broadsword so it was as tough as my drangelic one and then added some lightning to it. Ended up doing about the same damage as the drangelic or club but was twice as fast so I had time to put my shield back up and could fit in two hits instead of one for each counter.

Hmm. The Pursuer always hit me when I circled. He'd break my guard with two hits and damage me with the third. Maybe you have much greater stamina or poise than I do. |

I pumped most of my levels into it early on. Wasn't sure what I'd need for the weapons I wanted but was pretty sure I'd need stamina in order to be able to defend then attack Regretted it later when I got the Drangelic stuff which required 25 str and 20 dex but I was able to make do and work my way up ![]() I always play like that though. Prefer turtles to glass cannons |

Real men parry the Pursuer with their fists. |

I defeated him with an angry glare. What sort of pussy uses fists? |

I didn't know you could parry him. The risk is too great to bother attempting it. I had no idea that the Pursuer was the guy who appears on that platform in the castle and again at another point in the game I won't spoil for Chickan. Edited by Moo, May 15 2014, 04:50 PM.

I also fought the Flexile Sentry before fighting the boss version and didn't even recognize they were one and the same. Which is odd because it's one of my favourite boss designs between the two games.

I think I may have already done the bit you're talking about. Are you talking about the PErsuer appearing about half way thru the Forest of Fallen Giant on top or a parapet type thing and then again near a nest which takes you to the bastille? |

Wise up on your Dark Souls lore! He probably just wakes up at a bonfire when you kill him! |

There's also a 4th time on NG+ where you fight two of them at the same time. |

How deep are you now in your NG+ run? How did you fare against The Last Sinner? |
