8 Video Game Decisions You HAD To Make (Because You Weren't Levelled Enough)

8. Cheesing The Dragonrider - Dark Souls II

If you're just not levelled-up enough to take on a tricky boss and all other avenues have been exhausted, it's time to whip out a cheese strategy that'll keep you chugging along, stats be-damned.

And that's evidently what many did when they came unstuck while battling the Dragonrider in Dark Souls II. While surely one of the game's less-challenging bosses, he can nevertheless prove a tenacious obstacle for unprepared players still in the midst of gittin' gud.

For all but the most pride-filled of players, there is however another way - a now-infamous method to basically trick the lead-footed Dragonrider into shuffling himself off his own mortal coil.

First things first, while you'll likely be compelled to pull the levers which make the battle arena larger, betray your own instincts and don't do that. Instead, keep the arena small, wait for him to approach you, then roll to the right as he gets close.

The Dragonrider will then take a clumsy swing at you and send himself falling right off the platform edge to his instant doom. 

There's taking the time to finesse your skills and boost your stats, and then there's just... letting a boss basically trip over his own shoelaces. You love to see it.
