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'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...

Just skipped and ran right there. Got him the 5th try

Weirdly made good progress, can get through the first deathblow. Weirdly having better luck dodging? But my hands hurt so bed time.

... I can't sleep and I've actually been writing and productive but all I keep drifting back to is giving him another try.

Okay how the fuck to I close the gap when he makes room? That's the part that's killing me. I'll get my parry timing down for a sequence, and then he just creates room and I have to rush in and like i'll hit, but he'll hit me, and his posture just goes down SO QUICK
Show this thread -
Every time I do dodging I can get at least a deathblow on him. Every time I just focus on the parry method I just can't get his gage even close to full. EVERYTHING about my instincts with this guy says fuck parry but everyone's telling me I cant beat him ultimately like that

Okay I got a deathblow off of parrying I'm going to take that as a sign to go to proper bed.

His switch to the sweep after you get the first deathblow is just... I'm tired.

I'm at the stage of anger. I've fought this guy so many times and here's what's hanging me up. -for some reason, sometimes I won't counter on on the stab. I swear I know the timing, but it drives me insane when I don't get it.

-I'm getting good at rushing in, but he just jumps back and unleashes that arrow and I can only block the last half of em -I've watched like every video I can, I swear Im doing everything right, but my fight NEVER goes the way it does in those
Show this thread -
I've memorized every fucking move he has. Every god damn one and every time I think i have the exact right way to counter and get him he's doing something. I swear to god I've fought him over 100 times and he's still sequencing new responses. Again: angry.

*breathes* I got two deathblows!!!!! ... Then he went all THOR on my ass.

Just got back to him immediately. I was waiting for something to *click* about the first fight and I found it! It's MOSTLY parrying but there's this perfect little window to dodge right and get GOOD hits on him. It just gets to bad posture face so fast and I don't have to cheese!
Show this thread -
OKAY. So I had to take a few days off and it killed my momentum at first, but now it's like riding a bike. Can make it to final stage without dying consistently, but I gotta hit that stretch where all my reactions are muscle memory. His behavior and move set just feel different!
