Dark Souls Players Push Game AI to Its Limits in Mind-Blowing Ways

The Dark Souls speedrunning community has discovered an exploit that delays enemy reactions, giving players an opening to strike first and strike hard during typically non-existent openings. By switching weapons, players can be invisible to an enemy for a brief period of time, allowing them to defeat bosses before they can teleport or use ranged attacks. The exploit has been implemented in other boss fights, and the discovery is another example of how we’re still learning little nuances to older games.
