Well, I don't know if it's a discovery, but it's just awesome and I never seen anyone doing it or mention it.
You know Great Magic Shield right? A cool buff to your shield. Well in case you didn't know it makes it 100% resistant against everything. Also you when things hit your shield you don't lose any stamina. Anyways it lasts like 10 or so seconds.
Now, did anyone tried...
using this against The Red Drake/ The Bridge Wyvern?
It makes his fire do no damage to you. You can easily block his flames ENTIRELY without taking any damage. It's a good way to save yourself in case you see you can't escape. Also the flames hit your shield like 8 times, every time they hit they push you a little backwards, like the arrows from the Dragonslayer Bow do.
It's cool as hell. Also a good strategy to be 100% you get to the Sunlight Altar is to:
1) Hide behind the pillars and wait for him to come down.
2) Cast Great Magic Shield (doesn't care on which shield).
3a) If he landed in front of you (meaning he is between you and the Sunlight Altar) then quickly run with your shield up behind him and keep running until you can hide behind the walls of the Sunlight Altar, and if you see he is going to attack you, look directly at him and you can safely block his flame attack, it will also push you towards the Sunlight Altar's wall so you already made.
3b)If he landed behind you (meaning he is between you and the place where the Taurus Demon is), quickly run to the sunlight altar while carefully looking behind you in case he tries to attack, when he does, rotate yourself and block his attack.
4) Jolly Cooperation!
