Counter for the PvP Lightning Arrow, Wrath of the Gods glitch-thing?
I've seen variations of this glitch but the most common seems to be where they use a lightning arrow and wrath of the gods in order to create an incredibly powerful weapon that they can chase you down with.

I don't really mind people using glitches, but its just a bit frustrating when you go into an arena battle with the same guy three times in a row only for him to kill you in five seconds, (and the point down and dung pie of course). It's not like this will ever be patched so does anyone know how to beat this technique, or at least stand a decent chance?


BTW Please don't start an argument on glitches or anything!

Noticed a lot more of this glitch today that usual - some of them even doubled down with obvious hacks too!

Wish I could help but I have yet to encounter it. If it locks them into animation, you can bait them into using it at a bad time. Also I'm pretty sure most glitches have you remaining stationary in order to work. As soon as a new input or move is requested, the game defaults back to normal.

I dunno, maybe that will help? I've only been seeing the bow glitch and that's how I dealt with that one.

uhh well the animation seems pretty much instant and almost impossible to punish, unlike a normal wrath, so they roll up to you and you have no time to react until you've been blasted into oblivion and you've got dung pies dropped on you,

There has to be a way to tell they've prepped it. If so, try to bait them into wasting it and roll away from it. You can dodge the force. I promise I won't tell Obi Wan.

If not...that's rough to counter. I should probably go on Youtube and catch up on these new glitches people have found in the past few months.

What weapon are you using?

I have found that the effective way to punish this strategy is to roll perfectly.
Or use a shield that has enough stability.

I use the partizan, lucerne and pickaxe most often.

Shields block wrath??

Would have to be a greatshield based on the sounds of this. Rolling at the right time is probably the best defense. I know it's a good way to run force users in Irithyl out of the blue stuff when they're trying to kill you with gravity.

They can, but if it's souped up enough it'll knock you into riposte state. Havel's shield or something with similar stability + a decent amount of end, would be necessary.

Ultra-tryhards keep a crossbow.
But you do not have to, if you choose not to.

Can second this. Crossbows could be handy in this situation. It could also lock you in to be hit by the attack. Pick what you need for the type of player and area you're in.

Honestly if I encountered a person exploiting glitches like that in the arena I would just alt F4 and block most recent player, I have no interest or time to give for playing with people who think its okay to use exploits like that.

Yeah...
That is an extremely harsh solution, however you must realize that Dark Souls is about tolerance and adaption.

Pffffffft....Dark Souls is about outmetaing your opponent and using whatever means you have to crush the enemy, only to get the chance to point down and throw ♥♥♥♥ at their disappearing corpse.

Now I know you're trolling. Get atta' here with your hippie attitude. ;) :P
