And at the same time, it's diving into an immense challenge that require such zen and focus and clarity of goal. But even when the game seems most cruel, it's always FAIR. Whenever I die I know exactly what I did wrong.

And along the way, there are no games better at TEACHING you how to play them through the organic nature of what they demand from you. You don't pass sections til you have them down, once you have them down, you're really are accomplished. I love these games so fucking much.

Okay, I was WAY too worried about the posture meter over his health. Now being more patient. Still getting caught on bad moments. One more go and if not, I'll take a break.

Needless to say I'm still trying to beat him. The fire resource is so small I'm waiting til I get a good run at the start. I'll have a really great rhythm going but there's always one errant spacing I misjudge and it's fucking game over.

Day 2, with a clear head I'm instantly getting really close, but doing that thing where I get too tense or greedy when I'm really close to finishing him. Classic FromSoft error! Gotta get to that zen place where I don't even care when I'm close to winning.

GOD these fights are so thrilling. I had a bad break early, then had him on the run, literally mopping the floor with him, then got too greedy when he reeling, too one extra blade swipe too many. And that was that.

I'm good with those! I'm not jumping, but side stepping so I get hit with the grabs more often.

Oh those are nasty! They forced me to unlearn the sidestepping spam I was so used to and use running and jumping more in combat. You are so mobile in this game, its lovely!
