Leinad_DST Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hello, fellow survivors! My name is Leinad, I am from Brazil and I found a very intersting strategy to stunlock the Ancient Guardian indefinitely, no pillars or graves needed. (Actually, user grumm9690 pointed out to me that Don Giani had already discovered this techique 3 years ago : 0 This also means that the new changes to the staggering did not affect the tactic Don talked about in his video, making it valid after all of this time. I'll leave the post here to inform others like me that didn't know it was possible to do this, and check the video Don made because it has really high quality.) Don's video The key is to hit the boss in a specific moment right before he finishes his charge, which will make him stop. If you continue attacking, you will hit his next charge in the same specific moment, stunlocking him forever. To find the right timing, I always focus on his feet. You'll want to attack right after he drags his feet back for the third time. This showcase uses Wolfgang but the trick can be done by any character (as long as the timing is correct). The server shown in the video is completelly vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Safety Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 This is really helpful. I have a world where I am Maxwell and my friend is Wanda (permanently old) so we are always operating on low health. Our Ancient Guardian arena generation was pretty unforgiving in that there are no "cheese" spots. I'll definitely have to practice the timing on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlVoid Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I wonder if this will still be viable when AG gets reworked... I think his rework will be released with the Qol update that may or may not have been pushed to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grm9 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Isn't it just the same thing like what Don Giani made video about 3 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You"re right, mate. It's the same thing. I had no idea the mighty Don Giani had already discovered this tactic and thought it was a new thing. Thanks for the info : ) I'll keep the post here for other people that didn't know about the strategy, but I'll link Don's video instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That method was patched out but this is the new one. It doesn't look different but in practice, it is. The one don showed is based on distance and could be done anytime in AG's attack cycle. This one can only be done in that tight timeframe in AG's cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one can only be done in that tight timeframe in AG's cycle. This is a very good point. I'm not sure if the changes to staggering just brought back Don's trick or if this is a new one. Anyway, what Don said about sometimes the character just attacking too fast and messing it up still happens. By the way, I'm a big fan of your videos. I particularly think it's some of the best DST content available : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guille6785 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 1. this is old as hell 2. this depends on having 0.4666 attack speed throughout the entire fight, as I've explained before attack speed in DST is inconsistent 3. if your world does favor 0.4666 attack speed then the easiest way to pull this off is to make him charge against the void and hit him from behind and voila you've stunlocked him, no positioning or timing required youre welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spino43 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 this seems more or less the same applied for the rooks, sometimes you can stunlock them and sometimes you can't. I hate that your attack speed is really inconsistent at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
