Found an easy way to defeat the sword master near Firelink Shrine

[Razor]

Hi everyone, I found a super easy way to defeat the sword master near Firelink Shrine. This method is even easier then kicking him off the cliff so I wanted to share it with everybody. Here is the link to my video. I show the method @ 3:44 in the video below

You could also try slicing him in half with fugs

fakin casuls just fight him the way he's meant to be fought

[SOLOMON]

Didn't watch the video.

But I threw a firebomb at him when he was coming down the stairs and he rolled off the edge. Lmao.

[CHAO$$$]

or you could get an estoc and attack into stunlock him at any point in time with superior range..

Hm I just killed him before I even entered the shrine by using the starting weapon. He is really predictable.

The dude is easy once you realize he has zero poise. R1 spam him, roll away with your last bit of stamina, recover stamina, repeat until death. Longsword, bandit knife, mail-breaker, scimitars, estoc, all starting class weapons quick enough to do it. Bandit knife (two-hand it) in particular is cake because you'll proc the bleed.

Just don't do it when he's in weapon-art stance, because he'll parry your ass.

haha i know the method is perfect for casuls, I have defeated him by parrying as well. I learned about this method by accident and wanted to share.

What isn't casual is doing it your first time, first try at Firelink before even talking to the Keeper, and with the majority of un-upgraded starting weapons it takes like three or even four riposte criticals to kill him. In the process you're likely to get partial parries and take damage, unless your chosen class starts with one of the small-shields (and even then).

There's being 'casul' (btw I just love how people deliberately misspell the world now #fadstupidity), and then there's being practical.

I just parry him four times in a row and done.

[Traeus]

Or git gud?

[Sparse Dunes]

Hahahaha lol! I would say this is a bit anticlimactic, but still funny!

I just fought him normally, he isn't that hard if you pvp a lot.
