Cleric Beast has been plagued with Infinite Sword Glitch for no dev room runs and the insanely difficult to replicate geometry manipulation for dev room runs but a new strategy which is at par with and possibly faster than geometry manipulation has been found to be easily replicatable, essentially pushing the biggest run killer in All Bosses out of the way and eliminating the need for Infinite Sword Glitch in the Cleric Beast fight.

All you must do to instakill the Cleric Beast is immediately run to the statue in the video below and roll into it repeatedly until the Cleric Beast either a) lunges over the wall into the abyss or b) jumps into the air and returns on the outside of the wall I will be attempting runs until I break both WR's for the next 24 hours or so, this discovery should make it pretty trivial tbh, hopefully I see some new names on those boards as result of this post though!

this also means you can do menuing for a few seconds in this fight ! no need to equip weapons before this :)
