I'm sorry, there is a similar choice later on, i got confused.
I don't resurrect if I die on a boss' first phase. Fuck wasting time.
Quick question about early game fight...
Am I supposed to have had any specific upgrades by the time I got to the
Drunken dude
fight? Like I still only have found 2 beeds so far so no upgrade there and I only have 2 charges of the flask. I got the first two upgraded arms tho.
Oh also, while exploring around before getting to the previously mentionned boss fight I found a back alley that lead to
Some kind of purple ninja dude?
Am I supposed to kill it already cause man... That dude hits like a truck...
Genichiro is so much easier after you've bashed your head against the Lady butterfly wall for 6 hours
Got 1 ending, 3 prayer beads and some prosthetic upgrades left for the platinum trophy.
oh phew that scared me for a bit. But actually good thing you told me, I gotta check that out somehow so I don't make that choice later.I'm sorry, there is a similar choice later on, i got confused.
Ah right... I went straight into theIt's fine to come back there later. There's another path of progression to take, if you only have two beads I assume you went straight into the area you're in after getting the bell - you can go back there and keep going.
Are you holding down the run button and are locked on to him? Just asking because I only run away without actually "running" and always got caught. After I actually ran after him (and away) it was fairly easy
Lock on and sprint all the time. Throw hard angles at him and try to control the positioning so you've always got space (focus on clearing all obstacles when you get in). Always look for him digging one of his 'horns' in the ground for the hard turn. This is always a few seconds of downtime and is a consistent animation you get in, hit, and sprint out for. When you throw it a hard angle it very commonly does this move.
Just play it safe and focus on dodging, baiting the turn and then attacking during that spot.
yeah, I've just got past thebull on the third go, you just have to keep moving at full speed and take advantage of when it smashes into the wall, I didn't feel like I did anything different when I beat it I just felt like I got lucky.
I felt the same way, that was the one fight in the game I didn't like. Just applied this strategy until I got lucky:firecrackers, be sure to hit the head for more damage when you can, circle it dark souls style
i didn't find it so bad
i wait for him to come at me like a matador and parry once or twice follwed by an r1
if he stops close to me, i use firecrackers and then wail on him
it's the mini boss i've had least problems with so far
Def the boss I'm struggling with as well. Lady butterfly seems easy by comparisonI worked on Genichiro for about an hour before getting frustrated and deciding to go back and try Lady Butterfly again. Ended up beating her in 3 tries.
Genichiro is one of the hardest From bosses I've ever fought. I will beat him eventually.
A lot of the bosses are there to teach you something, a kind of in game check to make sure you're progressing, depends on your definition of fun, some bosses I felt like I earn my win, others felt more like dumb luck.I've been following impressions of this game, and what seems striking to me is that it doesn't sound like a lot of these boss fights are fun.
Is that the case? Is that different than their other games in that regard? I only played Bloodborne once through because it literally gave me headaches, but there were a number of bosses I would have loved to fight again.
Its right before the spear guy,So I must have missed quite a few paths. I just beat the spear guy and I haven't encountered a boss or the drunk guy.
I fought him so much later than that. I fought Lady Butterfly about 5 hours in and Genichiro close to 20.Genichiro is so much easier after you've bashed your head against the Lady butterfly wall for 6 hours
I only found out about that in my later tries and while I agree I wasn't hit very often, it still happened and quite often I just hadn't dragged his health enough.
Okay, I'll try to throw sharper angles like a rabbit. We'll see.
At least two people who feel like me yay, because I certainly feel stupid because I even manged the butterfly and not the bull and have nowhere left to go... :/
You'd be the ideal candidate for 'hand over the controller to a friend, can you clear this hurdle for me' at this particular spot then ;)
I got so many different replies though that I'm fairly certain there's no 'good way' to defeat this boss. It's just not representative for the game IMO, outside of firecrackers maybe.
Yup. Took down first three bosses and all mini bosses until that point first or second time using this method.
On the way to the boss (beyond Snake Eyes), there's a point where you can grapple up to the left. Look for another path to the left after you get up there.Anyone know how to get the items on top of the Buddha statue to the left of the idol in the Ashina Depths pool where Snake Eyes used to hang out? I just for the life of me can't get up there.
Yeeeaaah fuck you bitch you weren't hard I don't know why I keep hearing people struggling on this Lady Butterfly boss.
Wait theres a second phase? Shit.
dying not just resurrectingCan we have one ultimate answer on how the dragonrot actually spreads?
Yes, I went down stares to talk to the kid
How far in the game am I? Half way?
I thank you. I could feel the love. My heart sank when I found out that I may have missed out on a shinobi tool. This game makes me feel things. Often despair (and I love it).
Holy shit.
NG+++?
Since I assume you need all the Bosses at least up until the end of NG++?
HOLY SHIT, after spending HOURS dying to Lady Butterfly yesterday - my skills (& added attack power) have gone up considerably. I just beat Blazing Bull on my 2nd try like it was nothing - that was seriously the easiest fight that's been in this game so far.

So far its just lore. Lady Emma's conversations seem the most interesting so far.Is there a benefit of sharing sake?
Or is it just for more chatting?
We will persevere, bud.Def the boss I'm struggling with as well. Lady butterfly seems easy by comparison
Thanks! Time to grind some Sen to buy that Umbrella!
Also (hope no one has posted this yet)

I got him to phase 3 a few times but get wrecked
Still at it? The strikes are a bit weird, concentrate on the blade instead of the body's movements to parry. His jump attack is super useless if you sidestep right. The sweep is also kinda predictable. Since the umbrella takes care of the most obnoxious thing about the boss I found the second phase to be easier than the first tbh. It's just getting there that is annoying. But man, if you hate it so much, you won't like what comes next tbh lol.I am so sick of Guardian Ape. Even if I get to his second half I just don't understand his moveset enough to get through the fight. The flailing, indiscriminate slash attacks are impossible to parse. Why did they have to make THIS boss mandatory for progression?
