      I love and hate how most people completely misunderstand what's going on at that moment. "Oh, he just walks off the cliff because AI is dumb, cheese." No, he jumps to you to try to stop you from leaving with his sister's apparel which you stole. Also he has to have his arm released from his ribcage to even do that, and it's locked there at the beginning of a fight, so you have to put him in the condition to be cheesed in the first place.

    The funniest part about CD's "cheese" strat is that, by all accounts, that is the INTENDED method the designers put in to beat him. The fight in itself is so bonkers, even compared to Bed of Chaos, that the instakill method is about as telegraphed as possible. Honestly if there was an option to run from bosses rather than only fighting them, the tactic might come more naturally.

      In my experience the DS veterans only backseat people to go the "optimal" route, rather than intended direction of progress. Master key, early upgrades, avoiding the catacombs until you're way overleveled, etc. Honestly I think that's part of the reason Pinwheel has a reputation as a meme boss (some of it is deserved), because the Catacombs are meant to be tackled way earlier with a much weaker weapon but veterans avoid it because there's no reason to go there until you have the Lordvessel.
