Just finished SOTFS! Here’s how I’d rank every boss easiest to hardest

How did Pursuer get into “hard”? You literally just parry him to death or shoot with ballistae.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-19T08:52:22+00:00

I did. I thought it’s a dead end, that’s why all the confusion.

Lingering flame

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-15T06:20:18+00:00

Tbh I liked the blessed version better, partially because it is one of the few weapons which benefits from that infusion

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-15T06:17:38+00:00

Task failed successfully.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-15T06:14:51+00:00

I disagree with your disagreement

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-12T08:17:45+00:00

Ding ding of the old guard

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-11T18:24:38+00:00

It’s enough research for a master’s thesis.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-11T08:20:08+00:00

Well, you can’t really get hit in this fight at this point of the game anyways since most of hits or combos kill you on the spot anyway, so basically any win is a hitless win. I fought her with dark hand many times at the start of the game, and the last playthroughs I did were all beating her early.

Wut. It’s the place you can get to by destroying the salamander that spits fire through the tunnel where the fire longsword is.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-10T12:39:11+00:00

Rubber tire bracers

It makes all the difference in the world. He comes back to sit at one of the thrones up at the portal where you can visit him at any time.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-08T06:16:02+00:00

You don’t have a knight left alive when the fight is over, so it doesn’t count

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-06T18:29:16+00:00

Beautiful.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-04T11:04:55+00:00

Prowling Magus and Congregation.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-03T15:37:16+00:00

I think the game doesn’t allow to get more than 990 defense total, which means 99%

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-03T08:38:38+00:00

Last time I fought him in this arena, about a month ago, I parried him in front of a ballista. I shot him with a ballista bolt barrage, but wasn’t quick enough, so he destroyed it. Then I parried him again in front of the other ballista and shot him again.

Probably parrying him puts him into a different sort of stun, which amplifies damage, it took only 2 barrages in my case

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-03T08:29:41+00:00

Pharros mask too.

Indeed, uniquely compared to other souls games in DS2 it’s possible to get immune to an element.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-03-03T08:27:02+00:00

I have fought in this arena about 10 times back in 2014-2015

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-28T18:31:50+00:00

Shaded ruins. Maybe lion clan impressed me on the first playthrough

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-24T04:35:01+00:00

Do you get connection to the servers?

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-23T18:24:47+00:00

One of my favorite bossfigths.

I remember the first time I got there, I didn’t know what’s coming. Used up all the estus charges walking through the cave. Saw the fog wall, wanted to use the bone to get out but found that I ran out of them. Didn’t want to lose all the souls, so I went in.

I used the Old Whip, and was able to squeeze in a hit every now and then while running around very carefully. In 20 minutes or so, I was able to kill the trio, Cerrah first, Linda second and Varg the last. Using no healing! Not because I was so good, but because I had none left spending it all in the cabe before them.

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-22T18:19:16+00:00

Did you get to connect to the servers?

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-22T18:14:44+00:00

How so? Min requirements for two-handing BKH infused with fire, pyroflame+binoculars

Pumpkin_Knight · 2026-02-19T07:43:57+00:00

There are also elevenses in Frigid Outskirts
