by tonberryking01 Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:14 pmI never knew you can parry more than one enemy at the same time. It doesn't happen often, but I just parried both of the manserpents at the start of Sen's with one swipe of the parrying dagger.

Nice. I've been getting a lot of multiple backstabs in co-op lately, which is kinda confusing when the backstab animations are different. And by multiple backstab I mean multiple players backstabbing a single mob -- not sure if backstabbing multiple mobs is possible?...

One handed attacks bounce off the armoured boars in The Duke's, two handed attacks don't.
Full Havel's has awful poison resistance.
You can't lock on to Forest NPC's if you are a Catbro (and I thought I would have some dummies to practice reverse-rolling).
Using a Homeward Bone after killing Gwyn will send you to the loading screens; but you will still be in the arena.

I totally never realized Artorias' arm was ruined until I was re-watching my SL1 fight of him while encoding it. I think I spent so much time trying to dodge his attacks that I never stopped to actually watch the fight.

It kinda looks like Artorias' shield, sword, and torso piece on the cover of the game..?

That's probably because it is Artorias. Pre-corruption, though. And the sword is actually the Black Knight Greatsword for some reason, but they cropped the picture so it no longer shows the spikes on the middle of the blade that proves this.

That the pearls inside the clams are actually skulls. Also the Mimic teeth look a lot like fingers. Considering how both are common in/near the archives, they may have something to do with Seath.

The mimics are a cursed people.
A tribe known for their avarice was cursed by the gods.

While my other theory is that Havel was working with the Ash Lake dragon. We find great magic barrier there. He fought against the dragons and then felt remorse. He discovered Ash Lake, teams up, and starts rebelling against the gods. Would explain why he hates Seath and his magic so much, and maybe his dragon tooth might even come from the Everlasting Dragon.

I'm going solo against Nito using the One Weapon per Boss fight challenge, SL1.
I equipped the fog ring and slumbering dragon ring and dropped down hoping to evade the skeletons because I didn't want to rely on a 'weak' divine weapon. I could not get Nito to come at me!
I went through 9 flasks while he did his ground attack and even though I got close enough to Nito to target-lock onto two of the large skeletons (approaching from the right) and two of the smaller skeletons (approaching from the left) and even target-locking on Nito himself, I could not draw him out.
This tactic may be useful if you want to use a throwing knife to draw him out without engaging the skeletons.

Painting Guardians won't backstab you if you pause.

this may be very well known, I am 100% sure it is, but I found out last night that parrying and backstabs give you more souls on enemies :Pbeen playing for years but never noticed it before!

Also works with normal hits, but it's much harder since you have to do so much damage. :razz:Raikan007 wrote:this may be very well known, I am 100% sure it is, but I found out last night that parrying and backstabs give you more souls on enemies :Pbeen playing for years but never noticed it before!

'tis known as overkill. Its when you deal enough damage to kill a being with one blow plus some extra damage.

so maybe using Leo ring and hitting them just before hitting you? when they are in that vulnerable stage

You get an overkill for doing a set amount of damage over the enemies maximum health. More damage = more souls. It eventually caps at a certain soul count.Raikan007 wrote:Zyrrashijn wrote:'tis known as overkill. Its when you deal enough damage to kill a being with one blow plus some extra damage.

Been messing around with Darkwraiths(tryig different weapons) in new londo and i think the 20% souls bonus comes in when you hit them for >120% of their health.

It's 150% of their max hp for a 20% souls bonus. And it does work if you've already damaged them a bit before that, just make sure it's 150% of their max hp in a single hit.

also decided to try and parry the Tower Black Knight that re spawns at Sen's, but was unable to do the riposte animation, not sure if I was standing too far away to activate it or the fact that you actually can't
off topic:
which bosses/Npc's/enemies can you parry or not?
I am thinking of trying it against O&S coming up soon? or this futile?

You can parry, but can't riposte Berenike Knights (Tower Knights)
You can parry every attack in the game, but most are not special parries that can be riposted, and are instead partial parries.

You can't riposte them, said it before but similarly the butchers can parry you but have no riposte move.
