Attacks [ ]

Charge
At a distance, the Pursuer volition accuse at the thespian with an upwards strike. The easiest way to avert, is walking to the right as soon every bit the animation starts.

3 Hit Philharmonic
Performs two horizontal swipes and if all attacks are performed while the role player is withal near him, will follow information technology up with a total 360° spin assail or an overhead smash.

Shield Fustigate
He uses his shield and hits the player once with information technology, causes large stamina drain if blocked.

Expletive Stab
The Pursuer'south Blade glows blue and he lunges the sword at the actor, if it connects, the player will be in an animation where they are impaled on his sword and the player volition then be cursed. This attack cannot exist blocked. The hitbox lingers for some time, so while the set on's long windup and low tracking makes it easy to avoid, one can also accidentally walk back into it after dodging information technology.

Nighttime Seeker Projectiles
The Pursuer volition lift into the air and vent Dark free energy from its torso. This will cause iii to 5 projectiles to exit its body and burn down towards the player subsequently a short delay, similar to the Analogousness Hex. The projectiles are slow just track extremely well and deal a moderate corporeality of damage. Typically, this attack occurs after he has dropped beneath l% health, but on rare occasion it can happen before. To avert it, simply run behind the Pursuer as soon as he starts casting it.

Spread Projectiles
Similar to the Seeker Projectiles this attack starts with the same animation, but information technology fires several waves of spreading hex similar attacks. These attacks can exist dodged by rolling backwards away from the Pursuer and the next attacks will follow the relative direction of the start smash. (the attack has a similar look to the Hex Dark Hail, but lighter in color).

Elemental Defenses
30%	30%	10%	l%
Resistances
		Can be Backstabbed	Can be Parried

Slash/Strike/Thrust defense are applied on top of Concrete Defence force. -20% strike defence force means taking 120% damage. (Stats are from Param Studio and are not estimated)        

Strategy [ ]

The Pursuer's combos mainly come in threes, with the third strike leaving him vulnerable to a few hits afterwards.

Although the Pursuer is an active opponent, parrying him immobilizes him for several seconds. This allows ample time for a counterattack, and more importantly allows the thespian to apply ballistae confronting him. On NG, if all three ballista bolts hit, 90% of his health tin exist taken out. A sizable chunk of his health is taken off even if not all of the bolts hit. The Buckler received just before the 2d bonfire in the forest will make parrying easier.

Note that the Pursuer can be poisoned with weapons or 2 casts of the pyromancy Poisonous substance Mist. Having two weapons at your disposal is a good manner to poison him then switch to your more powerful weapon, Poison Ricard's Rapier +10 with two strong attacks will poison him, hence then switching to your chief weapon for further damage is a good strategy. At the start of the fight, you have fourth dimension before he fully materializes to initiate a poison.

Most of his attacks tin be evaded if the player rolls to the right (his shielded side). Even so, this is not advised when he uses his three-hit combo equally the spinning slash can still strike the histrion from the side. In particular, running away to bait his charge so dodging through it, followed past an assault (Don't utilize the rolling assail, equally information technology will nearly probable miss) is a very proficient tactic, then long as the player knows what the window of invincibility is for their character. (I-Frames)

He is vulnerable to lightning impairment and somewhat vulnerable to magic.

He is too capable of inflicting Curse on the player. This assail is telegraphed by the Pursuer extending its arms and hovering slowly toward the thespian, the sword will glow blue and the Pursuer will lunge forward, impaling the actor, so elevator them into and release a Curse-inducing cloud. It is possible to avoid getting cursed if the player is killed past the initial lunge. If the player is successfully Cursed by this motion, the Pursuer will get a power heave, evidenced by its glowing, ruby eyes and a black mist surrounding it. This allows the Pursuer to release Dark orbs that homes in on the player. If whatsoever of the orbs connect with the player, they will bargain massive damage and cause Expletive build-upwardly.

For the third encounter in Drangleic Castle, an easier way of obtaining the Ring of Blades +2 is to defeat one of the Pursuers, return to the Rex'southward Gate bonfire, then get back for a one-on-one battle against the second Pursuer.
