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.

Okay just did some good grinding, picking up some helpful abilities. What I love about this game is the grind feels so much easier? I never thought I'd want a skills tree in a FROMSOFT game, but they really do it quite elegantly.

Okay, Gyoubu Oniwa time... I'm feeling... okay so far? But i'm sort of plateauing. I got good parry timing on his first swipe, I have the grapple attack, but I'm having trouble with "how many hits I can get in" before he swipes again. Also trying not use up all my firecrackers?
Show this thread -
I beat him in like... 9 chances????? ... granted I got told the firecracker thing, but holy heck. Something about this one just totally clicked once I got the balance about when to parry and when not. Didn't even die on that one!

I JUST SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS THE LOUDEST SINCE THE DOGS IN RESIDENT EVIL FUCKING BULL

I can't make heads or tails of this one. It seems like I want to stay behind him, use crackers, but it's just so easy to get side swiped when I'm playing the corners????

I also am having a fuck of a time trying to find time to heal.

Took the "always run" advice and game changer! Beat him in one!

I've been getting really confident and sailing along, but I just met Jinsuke Saze and he beat me so badly and so efficiently it would be like if real-life me tried to fight a samurai.

OK, I can see the way through, it's that damn parry timing cause you posture damage in return, BUT HOLY HELL IS THAT LIGHTNING QUICK, MY WORD. Also this is the first enemy that immediately pounds when you resurrect and that's both fucked and something I was totally waiting for.

This fight is, like, genuinely fucking with my head. ALL my instincts feel wrong. Usually I'm parrying/strafing around. Every time I do, he just fucks me up even if I swear to fucking god my timing is right. Am I supposed to just stay in front on him? Then I cant see the flash!

Okay I'm at a genuine crossroads here. I can keep trying to force my way to get 4 of these insane double parries. OR it turns out dodging left and moving and chipping away, esp w/ poison, works wonders. I'm getting much closer with that, but I feel shitty I didn't master 1st way
Show this thread -
I beat him that 2nd way. And here's the thing... I feel like I'm already really fucking good at the dodge and swipe. Always have been and it's natural to me, especially after bloodbourne. But this fight was trying to TEACH me something else, and I fucking avoided it. I hate that

I'm letting the game get in my head, so I took a break and cracked open a Hazy IPA to play CIV 5 for awhile and I feel much better about what happened. I actually got pretty okay at the double parry, I just couldn't string it together the whole fight. It's okay!

This is just a random point in the given thread where I feel incredibly thankful that I can communicate with so many kind/thoughtful people as I go through an experience. I reminds me of Twitter before the horror / g-m-rgates, where it felt like a genuine space of commiseration.

Wow, bringing in Nogami Gensai really makes The Drunkard fight a cakewalk huh? Got him in two.

Okay, Lady Butterfly, Let's dance! Already feel like this is one of those deceptively fights. I stay on her and in rhythm and slowly build up posture, even knocking her out of air with shurikens - but the second she gets some space, or one wrong move, and OUCHIE

FUCK FUCK FUCK I accidentally used most of my snap seeds (I was trying to switch back and forth to heal) and I totally think I just fucked myself over royally for this this fight. How do I beat the second half with all those assholes around? FUCK.

My genuine favorite part of this thread is when I'm getting tripped on a boss and I'm getting conflicting pieces of advice and it feels like the meeseeks chorus telling me to square my shoulders and keep my head down.pic.twitter.com/2EbCRMgHas

I'm now at that FROMSOFT stage of bossfighting where I am now objectively worse at the boss and they kill me very quickly.

Of course this instantly transitioned to a zen attempt where I saw the matrix and completely dominated her. What did me in? I was literally about to go for final deathblow and then her leftover wad of souls hit me. I couldn't run, I just had to try and pull it off. I was so close

SHINOBI EXECUTION










Every phase just clicked. When to parry, when to attack, holding down on the shuriken a split second so she doesn't block, putting MYSELF in a corner so I don't get hit by the other dudes, and using the columns at the last second.Show this thread -

Armored Warrior! Maybe it's just that the boss seems so dang Soulsian, but dodge mechanics work super great and I got him in three!

I get that this is Long Arm Centipede battle is supposed to be a cakewalk with that damn umbrella, but GETTING to that point and clearing the room first is just such a pain in the ass. I can barely get TO the fight...
