That guy is gonna teach you the game. It's a fucking amazing fight. Stick CLOSE to him and honestly, don't ever disengage unless you want to heal. His bow attacks are very hard to deal with. That fight was Metal Gear Rising level good.
I swear like 70% of the time my right thumb does it's job but the my left thumb goes and fucks it up by hitting the analog stick and causing a dodge to happen.....
I've really only used shurikens on Lady Butterfly and to kill dogs come to think of it...maybe it's time to experiment more?
O'Rin is just blocking EVERYTHING I throw at her. Nothing I do can pierce her guard. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Her attacks do so much posture damage.
I'm getting the impression it is short, which is keeping me from buying it...
Almost every enemy with 2 health bars gets new attacks on the 2nd.
It is most certainly not short. Its just as long as any of the previous games.
It's roughly on par with your first run of DS 1 & 3. Way shorter than DS2.
Very useful. You can regain most of your posture with it. But is also quite slow and you have to make sure it stuns the enemy on the first hit.
Thanks, I'll invest in it for sure anyway since I love the base move. It feels so crushing when it connects.
There's a trophy for beating all bosses but it'd all have to be on one file, and some are going to be exclusive to your choices and subsequent playthroughs. Otherwise yeah you could just get the endings in the first playthrough (theoretically).
Either pop some confetti and use the fan prosthetic to break her guard or parry everything she throws at you. It's pretty easy to fill her posture gauge without doing any vitality damage to her.
Myy play time is still around 15~ hours right now after my first playthrough, I had just read lots of reviews saying it would be 30ish or more so I feel a little let down in that aspect. That's probably my only negative at all with the game though, it rules.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to perfect deflect a lot with her.
let her to do most of the moving, stay calm and get used to recognizing her attacks and deflecting, blocking. She pretty much does one of her strings/attacks then backs off and comes at you again. Stop her attack, then attack her 2 or 3 times then wait for her next attack, for her big multi attack string you jump the last attack her unblockable. Jump and headstomp into 2 or 3 attacks.
It is. Watching for the white flash is the key here. Immediately tap L1 twice when you see it. I couldn't get the timing on the parry at all until someone told me to really watch the white flash and boom, ez gg.
Is it? I haven't invested much in skills involving aerial combat because it didn't seem all that useful...
Too fucking real
Good question, I want to know this too.
From Software continues to be the greatest dev of the last 2 generations and it's not even close. They keep knocking it out of the park, it's insane.
Yeah when I fell once and didn't die I was like "WAT" and "NOT A SOULS GAME CONFIRMED" :D
I swear, probably easily 30-40% of my deaths in Souls games (including Nioh) are falls lol
...This on the other hand is totally a Souls staple lol
Snake Eyes in Gun Valley? I had trouble O-dodging the grab too, so I actually did avoid the grab attack by jumping away and it worked for me.
Just beat her.
I actually opened the fight by pegging her in the back with a ceramic shard and getting a free Deathblow on her before the fight started.
Like a true ninja.
I downloaded it without checking. Wonder what the details are.
Look out for the attack where she holds her sword out to the side then spins at you in a dance like move. You can deflect deflect deflect in a very rhythmic, even way. Then she will do an unblockable sweep attack, and you finish with a double jump on her stupid hat. Pull it off and it's massive posture damage in one go. Just fish for that attack.
I managed to find the wall jump up to the edge in front of the pagoda and spent a few seconds marveling at the view. The purple shinobi ran up behind me and started wailing on me so I jumped off the cliff and grappled to a branch. When I wall jumped back up, he was walking away from the cliff with his back turned so I stealth killed him. Felt kinda cheesy but I was pissed that he ruined my view.
Even without it, the game has ran beautifully for me. I have a 1070 and old 2500k, fairly modest rig, and I've had an unshakeable 1440p / 60 FPS.
Lol had a feeling there had to be some way to get her enemy ai to activate and get a backstab. Good thinking
I mean I'm gonna judge for doing this, but it kinda goes against the spirit of these games I think
my sense of direction sucks so need some help fam.
I got the
. I thought it was down in
but all I can find there is another
, am I in the wrong place? I dont remember any other paths?
I got the
sword and the flower, now I need the rock
ashima depths
snake eyes (dead) and another FUCKING APE (not dead)
Past the ape, which tested me to my limit, since then I was in a new area that's just been an absolute joy. The level design is incredible, so many paths, verticality done right and so many ways to approach the stealth in these areas. New enemies and bosses constantly. Mysterious NPCs and morally dubious quests. I love it all. I feel I am in the meat of the game and it's magical.
About the tracking throw moves enemies do, like in every souls game IF YOU LOCK ON THEY LOCK ONTO YOU. So take off lock on and you can just run right past them and they will miss completely. Yes manual campers is tough but trust me it's way better than them auto hitting you. This is key for giant monster enemies,.

Not beaten Chained Ogre yet but I have managed a stealth death blow on him ...
If you get him active then run away far enough so he resets then you can sneak round the left hand edge and stab him in the back - just "crouch" and stick to left hand wall
Look, if I can find ways to exploit the AI and kill enemies faster, I'm going to do it. I've been doing it since Demon's Souls.
It's past the ape. Had you come down here earlier you could have skipped the ape (it doesn't show up in that room until you kill the first one) but now you're gonna have to fight it.
Grabs in FromSoft games have always had winky hitboxes. I wonder if there is some technical reason for it since they're bad even when everything else is good.
It's very frustrating that they increased the combat speed by like half compared to other games, but still have things like enemies tracking you with unblock-able moves
It's as long as the other games, sans DS2.
I'm at 31 hours and just got to the last boss.
You want to proceed to the area behind where old snake eyes was
Probably rest? I struggled a lot with him at the point of mastering the ability to get to the fight zone more quickly than any other living person. At some point I thought "ok, I'm gonna farm some money to get a Dragonrot cure so people won't die after so many deaths", farmed for like 5 minutes, cured cancer, went back to Genichiro, dead in two tries.
Fortunately, it's supposedly a manual option in this game to change to NG+, ala DS2 and DS3
Even though people have complained about it I feel like the camera is immeasurably improved from their other games. I can't recall any moments I've been looking straight up a big enemy's ass like in all the other games, and it actually pulls back when you're engaging a larger foe. Plus it's much more agile when you're facing foes that dash around or jump up. I have very few complaints about it, truly. Also, lock on distance is quite a bit longer as well, nothing worse than losing lock on and accidentally turning your back on a charging boss haha, happened to me all the time in the other games.
Other than grabs most moves are not unblockable, or at least not unparryable.
Hey I was just joking. That mini boss however did set you up for the boss in that area tho
