Ok, I was soloing the bridge encounter after the patch. The first time I used the glitch to despawn the thralls just so I could figure out how to best build the bridge. That attempt was successful the sword bearer watches at a distance then goes an hides, but about the time the bridged is formed he rushes at you, which makes killing him easy. After the success at that run, I decided to try it "Legit" aka without despawning the thralls. I was able to fend them of quite easily and fully form the bridge and keep it formed for a bit. But after waiting around, the swordbearer never came for me. I keep looking around and I find him hiding near the totems. I tried shooting him to get him to agro on em, but no luck. Obliviously' I cant go to far away from the plate or else the bridge will deform. One time I was able to get him to rush me, but it was to soon. He was sitting right there on the plate with me and I couldn't consistently build the bridge, evade him and try to kill him all at the same time. Does anyone a surefire way to get him to rush you or at least come close enough to kill him in time to grab the sword and get over the bridge?
