Thank you! I've been retreating after using the first resurrection a lot since I was afraid of getting more dragonrot... but at this point I'm dying to bosses so it's not gonna work anymore.
Oof. just found a few certain things, wanted to return to the castle and
what a shitshow. This shit is crazy. So many new enemies and minibosses and the Owl on top of the castle. I decided to break the iron code and help Kuro. Atm I'm just running around getting all the idols again. This will take a while until I've cleared the area and defeat the Owl
Gave him the white one and he asked me to spirit him away. Wonder if this Taro Persimmon is worth it...
The white one is the one he wants, the red and white one will let you lure him to 1 of 2 locations related to other NPC's quests.
Can someone give me a very general idea of strategy for Drunkard? Should I be mostly dodging? Mostly deflecting?
I officially like this game more than Dark Souls 2. It's 3 level right now but we got room to grow.
Mostly deflecting plus jumping on him when he does the sweep and circle strafing when he does the poison spit.
Well I'm a at a point there are like 3 or 4 different ways I can go...is there a recommended/intended order or should I just keep moving?
I'm skipping
for now.

Me: Well that damn Ape was the hardest boss so far, at least it's over
*goes to Ashina Depths*
NPC: "it was an ape"
Me: It can't be, it has to be a smaller version or something
*fucking headless ape waits inside the cave*
Me: NO NOOOO!
*starts battles*
Me: Well, this seems easier...I should be able to...
*second ape appears*
Me: WHATTTT GODDAMN YOU MIYAZAKI!!!

I won on my first time, but that was something lol. You gotta love From troll moments.
Go until you at least beat the first boss on the "primary" path in the present before returning to the memory. If you want a more smooth difficulty curve that is.
I realised at that point that the game was maybe too much for me... it's a shame, because there's a lot that I like, but I really didn't enjoy the way that played out.
That feeling when you clash heads with a boss(Jenny Chiro) for nearly two hours and not only do you beat him, you dominate him
Didn't burn a single life and only used two health items. What a fight. What a game. I asked a 'Kos like" moment going on and I got it!
exactly. I died horribly to many bosses. But when i won, it was quick and elegant. barely using health items and deflecting every attack the bosses attempted.
It still does posture damage just not as much as some of the other spear users you've encountered so far. You'll be using it as one of many tools to build up posture steadily from now on.
Holy shit
That's my first fuck yes Fromsoft moment, haven't even attempted to move from the grass yet haha. Bye coins.
that SNAKE
Generally I find FromSoft bosses go in four stages for me:
1. I have no idea what I'm doing, I get rekt.
2. I think I saw that move before, start to remember.
3. I can spot almost all the moves so I got to the next part of the fight.
4. I fucked 'em up good and won!

This is easily my least favorite of these types of games. I enjoy replaying Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne. If I ever beat this game, I'll NEVER want to play it again. I don't even know why I'm still playing it actually.
Is the primary path continuing on
ashina upper tower or reservoir?
So how do I dodge? I've just been pressing A to jump away from enemies lol. There's gotta be a better way to avoid hits.
If I could just beat this fucking Seven Spears guy then I'd have enough parquet beads for another upgrade, which would help in other places where I'm currently stuck.
He's a bitch though, even with the free deathblow to start.

Your statement is meaningless unless you give examples of what you perceive as cheat and unfun.
I, uh...
Just murdered the Great Serpent. I feel really bad for what I just did. Wolf cut its fucking head in half.
I would TRULY not worry about this or look anything up. the map's layout is incredibly well-designed, imo—you don;t need to worry about being somewhere you're not supposed to, and you don't need to worry about being 'underleveled.' i had a very unique and irreplicable experience wandering through this stuff and following my nose, i would seriously recommend that you do the same
Chained Ogre was shockingly easy work. I would've had him on my second try but I didn't know there was a spear asshole trying to fight me on the side and it messed me up.
I went up against the Drunkard. I think I can beat him, he didn't seem all that tough. I just need to get all his little underlings killed first and then come back for him

As I've said, I'm aware of that fact, but this approach may open up the game for some players who otherwise would give up.
And let's not fool ourselves, I don't expect another boss with the exact same moveset, so if my reaction time is still intact, I will learn the patterns for the bosses not prone to exploits. Why would a Jin player train to fight Akuma if he gets banned from the roster, lol. You can train hours after hours with that temple dude, but this won't help you with different timing windows and animations. Also butterfly doesn't fight a fair 1vs1 either, why should I? I parried a good amount of her shit on my first try, learned enough and got surprised and killed by the phase 2 crap, then took a short-cut. It's better to shelve a 70€ game in case I'm not good enough after 20 hours than after 10 hours me thinks.
I think the game genuinely messed up some of this stuff in the early game.
It makes it seem like it's setting up a rock paper scissors-esque system when the kanji symbol appears: Thrust, deflect. Grab, side step. Sweep, jump.
...but jumping is basically always the better option for a grab, especially for the Ogre it introduces that tooltip with. His grab hitbox is a vortex of horseshit that will often get you side stepping anyway, when jumping to the side is much better to actually avoid it and is basically the same speed so you still get a punish. His startup speed is also INSANE for that one grab.
I'm 5 main bosses deep now, and even if I can say on paper I've fought much harder bosses I've still died to him much more than anything else.
Press B. There are specific dodge moves that you can learn so it's good to get into the habit.
This might be why:
That is never the answer. Always parry except for those rare unblockable attacks. Unbind dodge if you're using it too much.
Yeeeesssss. I finally beat Ashina Seven Dicks. I took the time to hunt down 4 more prayer beads, and the vitality / posture boost, along with the flame vent / oil trick is exactly what I needed.
Damn, I didn't realize that the ogre was giving people so many problems. I bashed my head against insect woman for an hour before noping out of it and went to the ogre and didn't even get hit by him. Different experiences for sure.
YO WTF at the bridge guy in the Temple. So I
nothing else was working. Is there any other way to do this fight??
Kicked him off the edge.
