After
horsey boy
I've always been bad at using invincibility frames... I'm using the firecracker.
But tbh, it's only been 5 tries so far. I'll beat it. It's just a frustrating -type- of fight for me. I beat every other boss and miniboss quite easily so far, but this one is blah.
Of course, especially when most of the complaints stem from the game being "unfair" when most of the time it's people who can't acclimate to the mechanics.
Yeah, I mean Nameless King looks like a scrub compared to him. The way I beat it was going ham during the first phases and then by the end I was playing so scared.
I feel the same. Wish I could refund. The game is really cool and i want to see it to the end, but not at the expense of retrying boss fights 30+ times.
Yeah, I sometimes get the first 2 phases done with no damage taken (and other times the first phase just fucks me up...). I watched some videos now and will try that for phase 3 and 4 tomorrow...
There is nothing to worry about if you can read instructions and actually follow them. The game literally tells you what to do during the first few hours to prepare you for the rest of the game.
I honestly believe ANYONE can beat this game aslong as they just read the popups and try to understand what they say.
While that definitely happens, I have also seen people in this thread being dicks at people that simply say "this game is to hard for me, I quit".
Keep at it. Once I realised I had to hold the run button (with lock-on) for pretty much the entire fight it made much more sense and became much more manageable.
Just got the fresh viscera, that was fucking awesome.
I did a double take when I saw what was below me. "Wait, can I...? Oh shit, I can, fu-"

There's a skill you need to buy then evade into the thrust.
Or are you talking about enemies that drop down on you? I just evade like a maniac.
Sword Saint
Also I just realized there are pretty much no shield guys after the beginning, explains why I never really used the axe.
I did give him the white and red pinwheel. He said I was a nice person trying to help.
Then I lured him to the abandoned dungeon to be butchered and experimented on by some shady ass surgeon.... all for 3 Fat Wax.
I know man, I know....
Whoa, really?
I just read there were 12 bosses. I have 5 down. Doesn't that put me just shy of 50%?
I just finished up the game, did all the bosses and most of the minibosses (probably missed a few). This game was pretty sick though and while I do think the only 1 weapon thing is fine for a first run, it might hurt replayability. Will have to find out later when I replay it. All around it was pretty smooth sailing except for the last boss who had me sweating.
Ahhh, now THAT'S some good old fashion Souls git gud talk right there.
Like when the armored warrior does this attack from above, I dodge to the right but he seems to track me every time and land a killing blow.
Yeah I know you can. But more often than not im probably just dodging out the way because I panic until I get used to the animation and making sure it doesn't switch from a plunge to a unblockable sweep. Which I've seen.
I'm really dreading hitting the brick walls many of you are facing, because so far I love it. First mini boss down, two skill trees activated and three prosthetics procured. Working my way through the first memory and having a blast.
It's not. I haven't gotten to the end so I have no clue. I was saying in general not beating a game after getting many hours of enjoyment doesn't entitle you to a refund
Made me quit. If I work hard to overcome a challenge, I don't expect the game to move the goal posts at the last minute.
Give him three deathblows and switch it up after two - that's fine - but don't snatch away a victory I've earned.
The
fight is just amazing. Took me over 50 tries, but I finally got it. I'm getting better at dealing with the perilous attacks. It's still a crapshoot, but at least I'm getting them at least some of the time. This is no doubt the first Git Gud or Git Out moment in the game. I haven't gitten gud yet, but at least I'm not garbage at the game anymore. Every encounter is a learning experience.
It's weird that the cutscenes for that fight play whenever you reach the arena, over and over. Very unlike Fromsoft. Very minor gripe, but it's annoying having to skip the cutscene everytime. Specially mid-fight. I kept losing focus.
Another minor gripe: using sugars takes too damn long, and their duration is way too brief (30 seconds). Makes it too risky to pop a sugar in the middle of a fight. They should be like using paper or Beast Blood Pellets in Bloodborne: almost instantaneous. Or make the effect last longer so that the risk of getting stabbed in the face is worth it. Resins and Paper in DS and BB respectively last for 1 minute. DS3 had it right: there's the resins which last for a minute but take longer to apply, and then the bundles which are applied instantly (even between hits) but only last 11 seconds.
Hah, happened to me too. I didn't fall for it with
, but here the fight was hard enough that actually I sat back and exhaled 'whew, that wasn't too bad' and then I got electrocuted.
Reminded me of Sister Friede.

Lady Butterfly because she only had one pip which seemed suspect

I've fought 3 bosses so far, and personally, it got WAY easier after my first boss (Lady Butterfly). Didn't even use a single revive on my second boss, and the third one only took me two tries.
Soo..... I'm super annoyed that more or less all enemies can stab you through walls etc. Every time I try to use the environment to my advantage there's a spear through rock or this enemy who still see me through the wall. I find this more or less early assasins creed level annoying. :(
I mean I do suppose there is a brief lull at Gyoubu but it really picks up again almost immediately after. Or maybe I'm just bad - most bosses take me 2 hours or more haha, except for him, who I beat very handily.
Hold down circle the entire fight. Seriously. Just do that and run at his butt.
I dunno. The difficulty is all over. I beat the Genichiro rematch pretty quickly then got demolished by a boss in the valley. Then I bounced back and destroyed mini bosses right after that particular fight. And I have a feeling I'm progressing in the correct manner and not out of order.
The difficulty is seriously all over.
Yeah, dunno what the fuck they were thinking.
lmao
Running works, but its slow. He takes so much damage in the head
You sure you're ready? :)
Sure, he's the easiest to kill bc you have so much more maneuverability this time.
I would agree that it goes way up for the VERY last boss of the game. There are some bosses that honestly made me talk shit to my computer for a solid 2 hours before I beat them as well.
