As a part of the 1HKO challenge (the one-hit knockout), a gamer that goes by neptunusequester on YouTube managed to defeat Pontiff Sulyvahn in under two hits. In the video you see what appears to be Neptune buffing up with red tear stone ring, then the dragon torso, then the sunlight Sword buff , then the deep protection buff and then (apparently) weapon art Warcry from Yohrm’s Great Machete – according to Reddit user HolidayForHire (via Kotaku).
In addition to that, Neptune is probably equipped with unaccounted items like rings, which only add to the buffs they already have going for them.
Neptune claims that the kill was made without any cheat mods running and we are inclined to believe them – mostly because we want this to be real… It's freaking awesome.
Accord to Neptune these were their states: "15 FTH, rest is in STR, starting class – Knight."
I can't make it 45 minutes into the game without dying 49 times, so mad kudos to Neptune for being so awesome.
