Idk, it's like all you were doing when we went to kill King Oceiros. >.> Sacred Flame. It grabs the enemy and impales them on your fist, then explodes them from the inside.
It bypasses shields, it's amazing but has a huge cast time w/o the sage ring.

I distinctly remember for the knights before Dancer, you parried the blue cape guy, then stuck your hand in his chest for 630 damage. Then that cathedral knight before the elevator too >.>

Well That answers that.
For those wondering, yes Sacred Flame ignores your special magic shield crap.

No Parry required. Btw it seems to be effected by some things that effect Critical hits.

But yeah, that cast time, you'd have to be insanely lucky to actually get it off, or they'd already have to be staggered.

Also I thought that was hilarious Isack. You like backhanded my shield away like it was nothing, yet no boss in the game can budge it lol.

Yeah normally you toss a normal spell out or use a fast attack to try and get some one to roll towards you. You can still turn while it is casting so if the person even tries to roll the grip homes in on them. I've gotten a few invaders that way. They roll to avoid a fire orb only to end up getting grabbed and then gibbed. I mean that thing did over 900 damage to you and my INT/Faith is only like 42.

That's also the first spell/ability that's supposed to bypass shields that has actually bypassed Great Magic Shield, though I still need to test player shotels/magical shotels etc. Not many people seem to be into those though.
Edit: I also haven't fought anybody who's used a sword stance guard break, most people seem to go for abilities that deal damage or do something strange/gimmicky.

Got to the castle in DS2. Put the old soapstone down and noticed that there seem to be variations of the boss fight. Sometimes we just fight 2 knight-style characters, other times a crazy skeleton/witch lady follows that up.
Is this something that is easy to end up missing out on, like not getting the special cutscene with Sif?
The Final Boss in DS2 can work out 2 ways, in SotFS a 3rd way is added.
Way 1 - You go there before having all the other keepers killed. You fight to 2 Knights and then have to come back later after you killing the keepers
Way 2 - You go there after killing the keepers.
You fight the 2 Knights then the Final Boss fight immediately.
Way 3 - In SotFS an additional boss is added for after you clear all 3 of the Crowns.
I kinda peeked ahead in the wikia. I am happy to see I still have a TON left to do. I was afraid I was at the end of the game already.

From the wiki...
Quote: Counts as a critical attack for the purposes of Aldrich's Sapphire and Aldrich's Ruby but not for Hornet Ring.
Also, apparently counter damage can be applied to it as well.

Encountered Gwyn 2.0. Was working me over really hard until I panic pushed parry and learned that was possible. Next attempt was a win.

Bless you Washing Pole for out-ranging every other katana. Most fun katana to parry as well due to that.
I miss fighting washing poles. As soon as I see a parry shield, dashing R2's for days. Enjoy that instability damage. :D
