Knight Slayer Tsorig is a Troll.

[gackie]

He invades you when you really don't need invading, then runs at you and hits you like a train with a billion stamina, then after he smacks you around for a few minutes, and innevitably destroys your ♥♥♥♥, he then does the "my thanks!" emote like a classic invader troll. I honestly don't know who he thinks he is.

(I must admit though, after he absolutely destroyed me and did the emote, I couldn't help but laugh. From are trolls. As usual.)

gotta say, the first this guy killed me, it was hilarious to see the "my thanks". what a nice guy.

he's quite easy to deal with though. just fish backstabs and don't fight him in the narrow corridor. clear the rats and lure him to a more open space. there you go. he doesn't have much of an advantage anymore.

He invaded me the first time just as I got to the rats, then smacked me into the dead ended place and battered me.

I think the Black Knights are rediculously easier than Tsorig.

I've killed the occasional black knight just fine up to then. But then I saw the shield and thought "Hey, I can guard break him with my Stance Art! Then kick him over the edge with my riposte and laugh"

It uh, didn't work out so well. Likely would have recovered and adjusted my tactics at the time but that's hard to do when sent flying over the edge. Rematch went much better, at least.

I still haven't gotten around to fighting Tsorig in the demon ruins. Is he tougher than he was in the catacombs or something? Because I got a knightslayer ring that's making me pretty confident in dealing with him again unless he got a power up between areas.

i don't think it changes. at least i didn't fell like he was different. does yellowfinger heysel gets stronger in her second invasion? i don't think she does either.

Just R1 spam. That at least worked for the rest of the game.

I was using the Hollowslayer Greatsword at the time. Not ideal for R1 spam.

well, the first invasion usually might get you unprepared, but now that you know where and when he appears, i don't think he's an issue anymore.

Yellowfinger was alot easier than Tsorig, she didn't offer much defence at all. And she had a fabulous crown that was perfect for fashion souls.

Use lazy tactics such as letting skeletons on the bridge deal with him, or lure the black knight at Izalith area to cheese him.

I was in the Catacombs.

Nah. Infact Tsorig is the only one I encountered who litterally never gave me an openning, but I believe he was put in as a joke from From, he's too OP for what level you are.

Really? Because I destroyed him with my caster

[Limp Squirrel]

i don't understand the difficulty everyone has with Tsorig. He leaves enough openings, just never get hit. I have 1200 hp while wearing black knights armor and one overhead swing took 50% oh my hp. I can imagine an charged swing would have sent me to heaven.

He is also prone to stagger from large weapons. I killed him with a Zweihander

[ImHelping]

Oh, I fought him in the dead end space on purpose in the catacombs when i killed him. Was that a bad idea?

I figured rushing towards the sudden red phantom through the narrow hallway would be worse, since NPCs get to cheat with weapon collisions.

See above staements about my wildly all over the place moments of skill. I forget what level I was at the time, probably "Over leveled" total, but also I had nothing higher than a 20 at the time because my build is hoooorible due to me wanting to use a dozen different things a once and still mid roll. Whooo +1 Flamberge!

Meanwhile, in Darksouls 1.
*died a zillion times to a normal silver knight*
"Let's kill Artorias and Kalameet on the first try! I must be getting better!"
*Dies to silver knight again*

[Panic Fire]

First time I fought him I broke his AI with denial. He killed me whihc proced denial which forced him into an endless emote loop so I just backstabbed him till he died.

dying to silver knights in dark souls 1 is very emberassing...
they are quite powerful here now considering how lame they were before.

At least when he murders you, you get his gesture, lol.

None of us had 1200 hp or black knight armor by the catacombs.
