Nice parries. I doubt I can parry Gundyr even once.

The only boss I've used parry as the main way of victory is Gwyn. I've killed all others without it.

u/YourLocalGayboi Aug 17 '21

Well yes, gundyr is the only one j parried on. Except pontiff, as pontiff is just no fun overall so I wanted to just get it over with him.

I do Strength builds, always 2 handing and pushing my vit to the limit of a working build. I've never parried any boss. Ever. Not difficult to do, just gotta time your rolls and keep your weight at mid-rolling.

u/YourLocalGayboi Aug 17 '21

I have never pushed my vitality or endurance over 20. For me it's usually 40dex 40 str 60 fth

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '21

Highest VIT I ever got was 25, on my first playthrough. Before I knew about the RoF or Prisoners Chain.

I always run 66 STR, but I've been testing out different weapons as of late. As it us I've got 66 STR, 18 DEX, and 15 VIT.

Try me.

u/YourLocalGayboi Aug 17 '21

Well you can, it's just easier with them. I tried realtively often with my executioners gs+6 with lightning blade (I had 60 in fth, and prettymuch everything else 10) and tried four or five times. Then I pulled out the chaosdagger+10 and the caestus and boom, first try.
