Dark Souls: 10 Cheats & Glitches That Broke The Game

7. Boss Kills From Outside The Arena

The ultimate cheese kill and the absolute holy grail for anyone who is finding a particular boss unbeatable. Here are three bosses in the first game and the remaster that can be outright killed from outside of their arenas.

Sif can be seen by rolling and jumping on a wall to the left of his fog gate. With poison arrows, the Hawk ring and a suitable level of shame, you can kill him without ever entering the arena.

You will still have to carry the weight of what you’ve done around with you, so tread carefully. Manus of the Abyss has a similar problem and the Hawk Ring and Feather Arrows are both needed to ensure you get the range to reach and damage him.

The final one in the remaster and first game is the Capra Demon. Famous for his small, cramped arena and the unnecessary addition of two dogs just to mess with you and get cheap kills, it is possible to kill him with consumables from outside. Depending on how many times he’s killed you, you can always go for maximum disrespect and use dung pies to toxic him.

It won’t change anything, but might make you feel better.
