The Pursuer is a recurring mini-boss and a mandatory boss in this area. His attacks are predictable but powerful. Learn to parry his attacks for easy critical hits, or dodge through his charges and sword swings. The ballistas in the arena can be used to deal massive damage if timed correctly. Defeating him grants the Soul of the Pursuer and unlocks a path to the Lost Bastille.
