Dark Souls 3: Glich all the bosses! Do you have some cheats as well?

[Elden Ring Main]

The Dark Souls triology has some of the best bugs ever. From infinite soul duppings to AI breakings. It seems that every patch Fromsoftware releases to fix any bugs, they ♥♥♥♥ up in something new. Nowadays we have an infinite soul dupping in DS1, and the last Patch of DS3 fixed tumblebuffing (buffing unbuffable weapons) but carried what we know as the Rosarias Infinite rebirths. Anyway, I will be focusing on Boss Gliches, since in this group we love boss slaying in CO-OP. Here we go with a list. Hope you like it:

-Iudex Gundyr: Easy boss, right? Well, good news, because you can make him easier. All you need to do is to pick the class that starts with a bow (I dont remember which was, sorry about that).The next step is to headshot him in his last frames of the stand up animation. If you get the shot and the timing correctly, you will completely break his AI (Artificial Intelligence), and he wont do any movement not even enter 2nd phase. Here is the video evidence by the reliable Hypersouls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpXrED2a0Fk

-Vordt of the Voreal Valley: Im afraid to say that I havent found any gliches here. If you wanna still destroy him, however, you can do it by using the 2 gold pine resins you find at the top of the High Wall of Lothric. Not a glich, but certainly a way to get some nasty damage for a very easy boss.

-Cursed Greatwood: There is actually a way not to fall down to the second phase when it smashes the floor. What you need to do it to fight the tree near the entrance, and when its going to enter 2nd phase, stick to the fog wall. There are some little 3 stairs in the fog wall that wont fall. The tree will fall and you wont. Your next step is to manualy aimb firebomd or shot arrows from up there. To be honest, I think the normal kill is faster, because the snipping part is quite hard. I couldnt find the video evidence for this one, but I remember seeing it at LobosJR channel, a man who does tons of DS3 streamed runs with different rules.

-Cristal sage: There is not a glich for the sage, but fret not!!! We have 2 exploits here (exploits are not considered bugs/gliches. Exploits use a working as intended feature to take huge advantage). The first one is to prevent him for entering 2nd phase, just because you can deal insane damage at 1st. As you know, the Crystal Sage teleports after recieven some damage. The thing here is that if he has the Souls Mass spell on (the one that gives 5 little orbiting balls) he wont teleport: The Sage cant leave the arena with those on. Therefore, you want to make sure they dont dissapear. How can I do that you ask? It requiers a little bit of practise, but might eventually get it with some practise. You need to hit and spin around him without stopping. Hard to explain with words so heres the video evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QayiIrKKVYc (go minute 9:35)

The second cheese is way easier: Poison him and find the ideal spot. Video evidence by Raven (not our Raven :D): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIgOswXsI6w

-Deacons of the deep: Again, there is not specific cheat for deacons. My only tip here is to use weapons with insane range to make this a piece of cake. Farron GS L1 work wonderfully.
Ledos Greathammer WA rekts this deacons. The ringed paired Ultras are unestoppable here.

-Abyss Watchers: Abyss Watchers have been always victims of AI breaks. Its not easy at all because to glich them you have to enter the fight through a specific spot and leave the game as soon as the fight stars, so it requiers spacing and timing. Here is how you do it in a very good and understandable tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQsh4wbOXLo

- High Lord Wolnir: Ahhhhh this is one of my favourites. The cheese here is very simple: Yo have to use the neat Pestilen Mercury on his hand. Be sure not to awake him. The mercury damage wont start the fight, but if you hit him or get to close, he will. Here is the video evidence by... ME, GoldplayerX! reorded by friend Sweos (dont laught at my voice >:D) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRFdDZn-KK4&index=5&t=34s&list=PLcONy8J0BYHaKR8iQRFnrpLeIU_yPvWUK

- Pontiff Sulyvahn: Shame there is not a glich for Pontiff since he is quite hard. However there is a mechanic that you can exploit: The parry. Pontiff is extremelly weak to reposte (the reposte is the critical attack after parry) and you always get a guaranteed parry at the beggining of the fight because he always does the same opening. Taking advantage of this, you can actually one shot kill Pontiff in Hypermode, another thing I will talk about in the future, hypermode. Video evidence by the well known Ray Dhimitry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYMGn2a6CA

-Yhorm, the Giant: You dont need a cheese for this, do you? Take the storm ruler and 5 shot him. That sounds almost like a legit cheat.

-Aldrich: Sadly no bugs for him. Aldrich can be hard depending what attacks he uses (curse you and your arrow spam Aldrich!). Here is how I fight him to be way easier: The only thing you need to know is that you HAVE to stay close to him. When you stick to him, he does less magic attacks, way less. Since his melee attacks are much simple to dodge abd punish, this is the way to go. Appart from staying close, you should also use Artorias GS or Farron UGS because they deal 20% more damage for being Abyssal Weapons.

-Dancer of the Voreal Valey: There was one glich, but it got patched :(. The glich consisted on summong the Sword Master NPC, leaving the game and resummoning. This way the NPC would get invincible God knows why. But as I have said, it got patched. The only cheat now is to use the Crucifix of the Mad King. Did you know that dancer could be staggered and criticaly reposted?!?! I didnt and I have killed her over 30 times. Dancer is weak to Dark, the Crucifix deals such a high damage that she cant even move. Not a glich but an exploit I guess. Here is the video evidence by TolomeoR, one of the best Dark Souls 3 players in the world in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYMGn2a6CA

-Oceiros, the Consumed King: To pull the glich out here you need to have some knowledge. The strategy here is to find the right spots in the roots that are on the left and right walls of the arena. You can hide and shot him in the roots like this guy did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4XXpb0A1Hc
Is this a glich, an exploit or an AI break? Honestly, I dont know, but it doesnt matter. Enjoy your easy kill.

-Champion Gundyr: No tricks going for Champion Gundyr. Unlike Iudex, you cant head shot him to break the AI. Anyway, your winning strategy here is the parry! Champion is so easy to parry, and like pontiff, he can be one shot killed. Video evidence by Ray Dhimitry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4tMGwMkwas

-Dragonslayer Armour: Once again, no gliches :( Its an epic fight that can be hard if you are not very familiar with it. My advice here is to take advantage of that fountain in the middle of the fight. The armour makes some attack that fail by a f***♥♥♥ mile when you are behind the fountain and sometimes loses your track. It also very easy to heal this way, since the Armour doesnt let you drink if you are in front.

-Lorian and Lothric: What happening here? Another boss that cant be cheated :( However this boss has a feature thatnearly anyone knows: LORIAN CAN BE PARRIED! Exactly Ashen Ones. His annoying one-two hits can be VERY easily parried because they are extremellly telegraphed and have a sweet parry window. Use that to beat this hard boss. The parry works for the 2 phases, but Lorian cant be resposted, only get some extra damage from the stagger. No 1 shot kill here therefore.

-Soul of Cinder: Noooo! Another glich patched here like. Some months ago, it was actually possible to break his AI similar to the Abyss Watchers fight. There was also a glich wiht Tears of Denial drops to fight him from below the floor. Now we dont have any of those, so we might have to fight this insane boss (at least he is insame for me) legit.

-Old demon King: Yay more gliches! You can lure the demon king to a wall and... Trap him inside! It requires some luck and maybe you dont get it first try. Here is a nice tutorial by Raven (not our Raven again :p): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hGaDoCWF2A
Also, our leader snike seems to have another glich for this bad boy, so I look forward to a reply :)

-Nameless King: Very bad news. No gliches here. You gotta fight bravely what used to be the hardest boss before the DLCs. If you want a tip, I will only say that Nameless VS Pyromancer is sooooooo easy.

----------------------------------------DLC-----------------------------------------------------------

-Friede and Father Ariandel: This is my favourite glich just because I found it myself ^^ . You might not have seen anywhere so here is what I found: Sister Friede is weak to Friedes Scythe. Does that even make sense? Welp, it seems it does. If you have been playing Dark Souls 3 for a while, perhaps you have noticed that 2 R1s combo. Its always the same.
R1->stunt->R1-> can leave the combo. What happens here is that 2 Handed Friede scythe R1s combo till you are out of stamina. This means that you cant get 7 consecutive hits with 35 endurance! This only happens with the scythe and only for Elfriede. The scythe doesnt work for other bosses and no other weapon can do this to Friede as far as I know. Therefore, spam that 2 handed sythe to her. Works for both 1st phase and 3rd blackflame friede. I dont have any gliches for Dady Ariandel though. 1 last little tip for this fight. You can use throwing knives as markers. When Friede goes invisible, the thrown knives are still visible. I cant show video evidence because again, I found it myselft and cant record it due to my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC.


-Champion's Gravetender & Greatwolf: I had to look for the full name LOL. How complicated for a non English speaker. Anyway, I also found this exploit by myselft, but it involved less research. The thing here is breaking Gravetenders poise. Some Ultragreatsword have a sweet 2 handed charged poke, such us Lorians UGS, Cathedral, Profaned, Astora and Fume. These weapons fully charged attacks push the boss to the floor. This, however, can combo. While the gravetender is trying to stand up, you have enought time to regen stamina and charge again. This way he wont be able to move because you are going to push him over and over. This, infact, can also be done for watchers, Friede and all the NPc (I find it specially usefull for Havel). Once more cant show in a video for the same reason as Friede. For the wolfy I havent got any cheese. Just take advantage of the pilars like any Dark Souls 1 player would do in Ornstein and Smough.


--------------------------------------------DLC2-------------------------------------------------------

-Demon Prince: There is no a heavy glich here. However, you can quite exploit the fact that the Pince can bleed in the 2nd phase. Just use Dorris Gawning. Somehow, that miracle is extremelly efective. It takes only 2 casts to bleed the Demon Prince and each bleed deals 3000 DMG, very good damage considering his high defenses. This can olso be done in the 1st phase, but make sure you have enought ashen estus for the prince. Appart of getting high damage, you also get a safe kill with this method, since ranged combat is easier here. Video evidence:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiQGw6fWrww

-Midir, the Dark(♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥: Easy exploit: Use mercury. Unlike wolnir, Midir will awake and attack although you use the mercury. Mercury, however, is still really good. Deals insane damage per game tick and you dont have to risk. Cast mercury and run away like a coward.
Video evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHAJB8rUiug
Btw this is our favourite way of killing Midir along this group officials <3

-Spears of the Church: This fight can be done Offline against a NPC or Online against a player. I will focus on the Online. This is a PvP fight in fact, so its hard to glich. My only tip here is to use the META weapons to rekt your oponent. The difficulty of this fight is heavily determinated by your opponents skill, so good luck here.

-Knight Slave Gael: Ahhh finally the last boss. I enjoyed writing this but surely its being too long. It doesnt matter. Lets get straight into it. Knight Slave Gael has a weird glich going on. Some claim that it can be done, and others that it has been patched. I myself havent been able to pull it out, but I might have done something wrong because this glich requiers some skill (speed certainly). What you need to do is to take advantage of Gael Weaknesses: Frost, Poison and Toxic. If you manage to inflict the 3 states withing a very short time, Gael will break. Why? Easy answer. Poison/Toxic and Frost, appart from causing damage they also reduce stamina regen. The thing is that the 3 states stack, causing a 100% stamina no-regen.
Here is video evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvxIOVCf5Q0&t=98s
In the video is done in CO-OP. In CO-OP is easy, but again, it can aslo be done Solo.

Here are some ohter interesting strategies for Gael:

-Finding the right spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcexOUib_B0&t=160s

-Being a damn boss (Go and give love to G-S0ul): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekdIX2LzZ8w&t=2600s


Well thats all for today. I hope that this guide helped you. Now, do you have any other gliches I didnt mention? Be sure to leave your comment down below. I would love to read your replies. Good luck on your journey Ashen Ones. May the Flames guide thee.

There's a Deathcam Unload for Vordt, a jump-out glitch for Sage and a few other glitches for a few other bosses, well detailed in ymfah's DS3 pacifist video.
