How to beat Soul Warrior and how to get Shade Soul

This battle was extremely hard for me, so thanks to a fellow youtuber, I fought the cowardly way.

Me: *tries to heal*
Soul Warrior: And I took that personally.

this fight was so much more difficult than the soul master for me, , , it’s a little embarrassing how long it took for me to win

[katv]

For anyone still struggling, use lifeblood heart, shaman stone, and soul catcher. This helped immensely for me.

I hate this guy so much
HE WONT LET ME HEAL

Shaman Stone instead of Mark of Pride. Use Descending Dark/Desolate Dive while landing. Invincibility frames will avoid hits & Shaman will fry him with the exxtra damage.

Nice build. Your method focused more on timing. I was able to defeat him by randomly moving around & avoid getting hit as much I can. But the basic idea is the same, harvest soul from spawning enemies and spam attacks on the boss.

finally got him after 3 tries using ur method, u don’t wanna know how many b4 i found ur video

[MrShaggynick]

This actually helped a lot, the only difference was I did it a lazier way, I put glowing womb on and just waited it out haha

THANK YOU!! This method also forced me to learn to hit while on the wall.

[francuscaetus]

I think I need to to upgrade at least one more time my nail... Those guys don't die with one hit

[elgeeie]

I've reached a point in the game where no matter what I do I can't beat any of the bosses anymore, including this guy...

[PichuFanever]

thank you, this helped me finally beat him after an embarrassingly long time

[TarellHudson]

Great job. Ive been stuck here for months. I'll have to try this

[Tweetymeany]

Am I the only one who thinks it’s absolutely ludicrous that it takes 4 entire soul metres to kill

[TheBrooklyntree]

I'm a little ashamed to say that this method just helped me beat the Soul Warrior

[sarke]

Stalwart shell, glowing womb, and dreamshield. I started off dashing way too much, once I stopped dashing so much then I stopped running into the ghosties on accident and took less hits.

[settrasurfs]

There's a second harder one of these? Ah fuck

[-md-]

Thanks for the help, I got it eventually.

[steamed_ham]

I tried and died like 12 times before this video hope I can finally do it

[ovyseo]

is it just me, or do i find the follies kinda derpy cute?
