I originally made a video version of this guide but I'm hoping that by writing a written version of the guide will attract more attention to this neat little trick will.

1.) Okay so first of all you will need the 'Master Key'. The master key can be selected as a 'Gift' before finalising your characters creation, this is essential as we will need it to access the area of which 'Havel' is located.

2.) After we have battled our way to the outside of the 'Taurus Demon' boss area we should see a basement door on the main floor of the tower, use the 'Master Key' to unlock the door and there should be three more floors that are accessable to us.

3.) Now we should make our way down the two floors, so right now we are just one floor away from 'Havel': so now is the time to make sure you can fast roll, you should do this to make the trick easier for you, because the last thing we want is to be fat rolling out of a 'Dragon Tooth'.

4.) Once we have Havels aggro we want to wait at the top of the stairs (Of Any Floor In The Basement) until he is close enough to ready his swing, now what we want to do is jump off the top of the stairs the moment he prepares to swing his weapon. If done successfully he should lauch himself off the edge; following you to the ground where he will take massive fall damage, once we're at the bottom we want to run back up to the top of the stairs and wait for 'Havel' to follow us to the top: Now just do what you did the first time you met 'Havel' and jump off the edge again, just like before he should follow you off the edge of the staircase, just keep repeating this process until he dies. You will only need to repeat this process 6-8 times, I'm unsure as I did not keep count.

Thank you for reading my guide to defeating 'Havel The Rock' at soul level one and I hope this guide has helped you, if you would like to know more tricks to Dark Souls I will be making more guides on my YouTube channel and possibly on Steam so feel free to Subscribe to my channel to be updated whenever I post a new video.

Also, just one more thing. there is a door on the third floor of the basement that opens up to an area to Darkroot Basin, from there you will be able to make your way to 'Andre of Astora' one of the four 'Blacksmiths' in the game, and you will be able to get to the very famous and popular 'Elite Knight Armor' and 'Grass Crest Shield'.

Again, thank you all for reading: My name is Vuzenshi and I hope that this guide has helped you out a lot, I would really appreciate it if you were to share this guide (Written and Video) with other fellow 'Dark Souls' players.

I personally get the black knight greatsword/zweidhander/black knight sword and roll behind him and back stab. with the black knight greatsword it takes three back stabs to kill him.

25 firebombs will also do the trick.

Instructions unclear, not clever enough to make a joke

The brave way to do it is to parry the rock.

Easiest way to kill him is cheese him through the back door with poison mist.

Thanx for the falling damage trick.
After hating Havel so much I really like him now. He is so totally cool for learning the game. Just summon a friend and practice backstabbing :] or just pyro him to hell if you are with random people.
