DARK SOULS 2- Praise the sun

Only thing annoying about Pursuer is the limited range of movement and phantom range... that and players nailing you with ballistae bolts instead of the boss.

The Sinner I'm having trouble with largely because targeting is crappy and my shield won't raise up fast enough after an attack. Seriously, I really wonder why they never improved target-locking in the sequel. Then again, their 'improvement' to the controls was adding a jump button...

Oh and don't tell me to dodge roll more... its terribly inconsistent with the invincibility frames and the weird buffering (I'm still getting two full rolls before I can resume control of my character). In a game where weight, and stamina in so crucial, you'd think they'd try to improve response timing, but nope!
 
Lost Sinner is fun on NG+ 2 Red Phantom Pyros spawn midway through the fight

like seran said, pursuer telegraphs literally everything he ever does. i do have to agree with the phantom range on the blue curse stab, but that happens with pretty every single ultra-greatsword in pvp. you wanna bait either the 3-hit combo or the horizontal lunge since they have pretty big recovery times. and for style points you can also parry him, not riposta-able though, so you can get in a swing or two or use a ballista.

you pretty much have to beat the gargoyles so that you can get the bastille key to open the doors on both sides of the boss room. once you have the bastille key you can go to both sides of the area just outside the boss fog and light the torches there. once you've done that you can actually lock onto her. light matters in this game, there are areas where you can target enemies far away, but only if you have a torch ready.
