How do win

roll to the right

There are three attack strings and one mix-up. Get good.

>>322703720
go to tower of flame, he's not the 2nd boss, more like the 3rd or 4th one.

also remove your armor so you can roll farther

>>322703720
Lure him in front of the ballista, parry him, man the ballista and shoot him twice.

If that's too hard for a new player, summon some dudes. They'll distract him, allowing you to time a shot with the ballista.

Or just study his attacks, avoid damage and strike when it's safe - the usual dark souls strat.

>summoned to help with Pursuer
>always make a beeline toward the rear ballista
>wait for my shot to line up with the host
>fire
>bolt lodged in the host's chest
>falls to the ground in death
>rush over to the fading corpse
>*welcome*

this boss is a beginner's trap, his name is the pursuer, but in reality you have to pursue him
hopefully this helps you to improve your skill

How many hosts you do that to figure out what you're up to and just kite pursuer over to you and have him smash it?

When he uses his charge attack, just move to the right, DON'T ROLL, just walk.

When he's about to attack you, don't move to the right, move to the left and roll a bit if you want and get away from him as soon as you can.

If he turns his blade blue, just walk around him and you're good.

That's all there is to this guy

This helped. Thanks.

Like most bosses, circle strafe left. If that doesn't work, try circle strafing right. Advanced mode: rolling.

Parry him.

I was scared to do it at first because I thought the window would be tiny and difficult to pull off but it's easy as shit. You can literally parry him to death.

is it me or enemies in this game can track the fuckin hits? its like rolling isnt useful anymore

Parry him you fucking scrub

>That's all there is to this guy
You forgot about where he sends out 10-20 or so orbs of cursing darkness crap which is basically where you get right in his dick, hold your weapon with both hands and just go to fucking town on him while the orbs go right over your head. Although occasionally 1-2 will scratch you, no biggy though.

>SOTFS comes out
>actually active multiplayer on lower levels
>DS1 ded
>probably get summoned at least 50 times for pursuer
>at least half of those ended with balista bolts in the host or a fellow phantom

good times

This is one of those bosses that brutally fucks your ass and pozzes you the first 20 times.
Then you slowly learn the tiny little minutiae of the fight and turn the tables.
Now HE has the pozzed ass and I am the nigger.
Every time.
>tl;dr don't get AIDs

Strafe left and time your roll, trust me

Who is this guy? I went through the entire game and never fought him once.

>>322704795
sounds like you haven't leveled your adaptability.

>>322705181

>>322705181
>I followed a guide instead of exploring so i never met him.

>not getting the swaggest fucking sword in the whole game

Dark Souls 2 isn't a bad or unplayable piece of garbage like shitposters would have you believe, but after playing Bloodborne, it sure feels like it is.

>>322703720
Parry

>playing meme games

>>322706176
i love memes

>>322706068
Incorrect.
Dark Souls II was shit at launch, shit after DLC and still shit after its paid patch

>>322706176
And how exactly is Bloodborne a meme game? Bet your the faggot from the other thread that didn't answer when i asked this same question.

>>322706068
Yeah I am finally getting around to playing DaS 2 after playing BB and holy shit this game is sluggish as fuck.

>>322704795
they made that a stat in das2. you have to level up adaptability if you want rolls to work.

>>322706470
Last time I checked only 32% of people who owned Dark Souls II on Steam completed it

TRENT FFS I TOLD U

>>322705817
But you get moonlight greatsword from the spider boss in ng+

>>322703720
bait his charge
walk to the right

pursuer is a genius boss that teaches you the higher level play of souls pvp

>mfw found the bone knuckle weapon
>tried R2 on random turtle knight and did 999 dmg
I now know what my NG+ playthrough is going to be using.

>>322706826

You can confidently strafe to the right to dodge his rushing attack

You can lose?

>>322703793
I roll left and beat him. He usually swings 3 times or rushes forward. ez
