10 Video Games That REWARDED You For Being An Idiot

Dying is a pretty huge thing in the Dark Souls series, for a variety of reasons. Usually, however, that reason isn't tactics - or, at least, it's usually not because your tactics have succeeded.

However, there is one fight where the recommended guidance is to die. In New Game+, Drangleic Castle's throne room will feature two Pursuers for you to brawl.

Since one Pursuer alone is a usually a pretty decent challenge, two can easily be too much to face. In order to lessen the threat level of your opposition, you have to do a totally natural, completely logical move: Get stabbed by one of the Pursuers.

When you do (provided you have enough health to not just immediately die), you'll find you now only face a lone enemy, as the other Pursuer will have thought that you died and left the room.

This leaves you free to face down this mini-boss, rest at the bonfire nearby, and then duking it out with the second Pursuer, who is presumably very confused as to where his team mate and buddy has gotten to.
