Pursuers/homing missile bug

I was red soapstoning in forest, when I was summoned by a guy I had fought few times earlier. He ohko me right from the start. I asked him how was that even possible cause earlier that same sword did much less damage. He replaid that it is a bug in the game that if u cast pursuers or homing missiles before the invader u have summoned arrives, the invader will not be able to see that. This has to be done you facing opposite direction to where the summoned invader spawns. I can tell you, I didn't see any pursuers or homing missiles. I dont know wether this is only possible with summoned invader.

Sorry if this topic has speculated here earlier.

Nope not summoned invaders, it happens with darkmoons and darkwraiths on the xbox version to.

This glitch has been around since Demon's Souls. Works just the same on invaders. AFAIK the direction you're facing doesn't matter, but a good way to use it is to face away from a guy, then when he runs up to BS, turn around and one-shot him.

Yeah, the only thing required for it to happen is to cast the spell before the invader/summoned invader arrives. It's pretty annoying and it's an exploit so don't overuse it.

Well this was the first one for me. Always learn something new. Yeah it's definately an exploit and I would never use it against anyone.
