A friend of mine, FumeKnightofShovelry, recently had his 15 year old dog Monty pass away and wanted to suggest a challenge as a dedication to them. He opted for the rather appropriate White Defender, a boss that has a strong theme of loss, mourning, and remembrance of happier times. The restrictions were to win without jumping, dashing, and using only spells (of course spells being necessary to otherwise survive the dung spikes).

Surprisingly not that bad. I went back after winning to remove Dashmaster/Sprintmaster as the only real move that threatens you is when White Defender swims toward you so you just need to pre-emptively move away when he tosses two dung balls. You can get ample soul when he shoots up from the ground (and dream nail will usually have him jump back so that if he opts to swim you won't die). Shade soul is the safer bet to keep your distance.

Given the circumstances and in dedication to Monty, Fury of the Fallen was an essential charm for this fight and the reason for winning.

I will likely be posting normal challenges this week as Nightmare God Grimm is a bit of a crazy fight. Plus radiant Gods of Battle is something I'm still iffy about seriously trying. But if I do win against either encounter I will post them.
