I think the taurus demon can also be beaten with fists, naked. Just takes a longer while. Most of his attacks can be dodged by just walking backwards a little, then you can run forwards and do a running attack, and then walk backwards immediately again. If you don't go back too far, he shouldn't trigger any of his long range attacks.

That's how I dealt with the Taurus Demons before Lost Izalith, I think they're the same.

Also, if you have ranged attacks, you can climb up the ladder, shoot at him until he jumps up, quickly go half down the ladder, wait there until he jumps down again, and repeat.

The only thing worse is when they run away to some dark corner of the zone forever when you're beating them. This happens a lot in the Darkroot forest area, just past the Crest of Artorias door. It's my favorite area to PvP and get invaded, but it fuckin' blows for this since the "white-fogged" area for this zone is massive in that respect.


Edit: Also


Posts like this make me giggle, because it's so true.

For darkroot garden, you can actually leave the zone while the fog gates are still up. You can fall into darkroot basin! From the crest door, if you follow the wall and drop off the cliff at the end, you'll end up on the switchback ramps, and lose about 700 hp from the fall, but it's doable. You can't get back into the garden or go anywhere else either, all the fog gates are in still in your way. They can't get you unless they know to come down after you.

But I'm not trying to run/hide from them, it's them that run off into the darkness while I'm standing by Alvina for 30 min checking my email or some shit til they come back lol.

Unless you meant that's what THEY can do, in which case fuck that that's so lame D:

Yeah, that's what I meant, but it works either way so I phrased it to say how you could do it. It is kinda lame, but if they fall off there, they have to eventually give up if you don't come after them since there's no way back in. Searched darkroot once for like an hour for someone, and then fell off there and found him on the other side of the crest door.

It's ridiculous how long some people will run around... I could care less, I just wait for invaders and/or busy myself on the internet, but some people will actively jog around at the edges of the zone on the order of hours. It's so silly. Like, the only thing I lose by it is not being able to quit or bonfire, and they gain literally nothing. Invaders hardly even lose anything if they die anyway. I just don't understand lol.

i invaded this guy, i was annihilating him and he had ~15% hp left and i was still at 100%, then he turns on HP hacks and gets all health back and i don't do any damage to him anymore. so i ran away (it was in oolacile township, after artorias) and i ran down the first long bridge that has 1 mob on it, and kept running all the way to the end. he caught up, and i thought of a strategy: kick him off the bridge. i started, and it was working, and right before he was about to fall off he dc's...pulled his plug since he was about to die. lol...

They're probably waiting for other invaders because they are pussies and can't beat anyone themselves. The best fights are 1v2 anyway. If someone is really pissing you off like that you can always unplug the internet. But it shouldn't have to come to that, you shouldn't lose people in the first place. There are only 3 spots phantoms invade at, by the crest door, by alvina, and the clearing past where pharis was. If you stand by alvina, you'll immediately know where they are, right behind you from the sound, in front of you by the door by sight, or otherwise 40 feet to the left. And if they manage to outrun you constantly, then you are probably too slow to pvp very well anyway, you need to change your equipment to be at least at mid run speed if its not and just pop a green blossom and chase them down. Most people clear the forest of enemies while they wait anyway so theres nothing that will come help them kill you while you chase them down and slaughter their weak cowardly chars.

pvp ... i dont get it.

what you do against magic? i am pretty tanky (i think), but i get like 3hitted from random magic in the pvp arena all the time. and like everyone seems to use magic. when i cant stunlock with my zweihander i might as well give up already. then there was this guy getting less than 150 dmg from a +5 lightning zweihander light attack and dealing massive dmg with normal swings that kinda got ranged attacks, what?

no fun ...
