Im not a pro player in any sort of way, im just blechh…decent, (Soul Lvl 131 for now), but i have found a way to kill both of these BPs almost blindfolded ( YAY FOR LOCK ON!!!)
ok first, With PBWT scirvir BP appears in 2-2 on the little cave/ledge on the jump & fall shortcut path. You didnt know about him in your first play through when you could've one hit KO him? Now you in NG+ trying to get the Talisman of the Beasts but hes one hit KOing YOU?? FEAR NO MORE
SUPER NOOB TACTICS FOR THE WIN ARE HERE. equip theif ring (graverobbers helps but not necessary), have a catalyst and soulsucker, since this is NG+, now i know what you are thinking… Soulsucker?? His back is to the wall…how the heck? Well my fellow noobs, nowhere in the rules does it say soulsucker has to be from the back. Yes, you are thinking what im thinking. When he first sees you he casts that REALLY annoying healspell. So why not just soulsuck him while he casts it? Yep, just land on the ledge, AND RUN AT HIM LIKE A VILLAGE IDIOT WITH A LITTLE STICK(catalyst) AND SOULSUCK HIM WHILE HE CASTS HEAL.
LOLS, i am not kidding, i cant put a video to officially confirm, but someone will i bet.
And for the BP in 3-1, have you noticed that from a distance she shoots you with bolts? Did you also notice she stands still?
FIREBALL FOR THE WIN, this only works with fireball, just get a short-medium distance between the two of you, so that you can lock on her, shell be shooting bolts at you , strafe, as soon as she misses one fireball to the face, the key is the flinch from fireball, dont get too close so that shell melee, and just spam fireball, about 4-10 will kill her depending on stuff.
Uhh…for future reference can you watch the paragraphing and syntax? My eyes are bleeding xD.
The trick you refer to with the second black phantom is not only well known…it's exactly how you should kill every other enemy in the game - strafe and zap em.
It does however work with every spell, it just so happens that fireball is a big bigger. I've personally done it with Soul Arrow, Soul Ray and Flame Toss.
Also - the roll and soulsuck works really well on all caster enemies or any BPs who give you trouble, thanks for posting it on the forums ^^.

Ha ha, sorry about that, I was very excited, had just been one-hit KOed by BP Scirvir about 50 times, and just had a dumb idea to soulsuck him in the face. I'll use proper syntax from now on.
Sorry for being mean about it, I'm a total Grammar-Nazi.
Thanks again for the contribution to our growing repository of overkill xD.

During the Bipolar Valentine's event, I just blocked his fire with my +6 or +7 Dark Flame Shield. Then managed to kick him down the tunnel shaft. Found the item lower down. Which was on the way to where I was headed. :) Got the Flame Lurker for my first time ever right after that, so I was pumped.
Yeah, he also rolls under pressure like Satsuki. This means if you attack him he can roll right into the shaft xD.
Just hit start and reload your game and his items appear at his spawn point ^^.

yes that was how i beat him in first playthrough he fell down by total accident i think by strafing then doing a random roll, i wasn't even attacking.
But soulsucking him in the face seems much more elegant and to have a lot more etiquette for some reason, besides double soul gain?
You know what its official, its not called soulsuck when im doing it, now I'm going to call it facesuck.
Past 20 minutes I've been running around trying out the facesuck on all BPs.

There are a couple of easy way of killing scirvir…… which I read on wikki dot after getting ass kicked by scirvir with his fireball….. somehow I ignored him for the rest of my gameplay. Almost till the end of my first playthrough…… I always love going melee and have no predetermined strategy for killing a monster in Demon's souls( though it never lets me do it, most of the time)……
I faced scirvir with my meat cleaver ( cursed weapon )…. I dint want to push him off the ledge and loose all the fun….. I sprinted to his face and gave 3 continuous smashes with my meat cleaver….. And started dodging him ( with equiped weight less than 50% capacity)…. It was fun doing this for a while….. Then I saw him scratching his head after trying to cast each magic…. Then pawned him with the meat cleaver….. was a fun run …
