lol, never
I would like to try an SL1 run though! It'll be a fun change of pace as I'll really have to rely on dodges instead of shield use.
Actually, what's the trick to parrying you-know-who? Is there a specific attack you have to wait for? I've never figured out parrying, I've always killed that boss with dodging or hiding behind a shield and waiting for an easy attack to punish like the kick or the grab. I suspect it'll be very useful for SL1...
lol, no, I definitely can't, that elevator skip oversight is really hard to do, I haven't managed when I tried it. I'd heard about it but firmly decided against it. It's also very risky as it's past the halfway mark of the game, and you die if you screw it up, and then you can't open up the prison, get the soul of the fire keeper, etc. Dealing with Bed of Chaos being a risky fight in this kind of run is bad enough as it is. >w>;; Someone more hardcore can do a deathless run without the plot death. xD I also wimped out and avoided the DLC stuff for this run. STRAIGHT TO THE ENDING FOR ME!
