      I DID IT It's funny how much venting helps. But also was just like FUCK IT and went mortal draw at one point, helped so much with a critical part of the fight.

      OK - it's Demon of Hatred time. Here's the thing. I walked into this and almost got through the first two stages. Everything made sense. He's very soulsy. Next two times I still did good... but now I completely lost it. It's that FromSoft thing that happens where u just lose it

      DOH is the first fight in this game that makes me feel crazy??? There's harder, more exacting fights- but this feels so sloppy and indiscriminate. Stuff that works one time won't the next. I'll SWEAR he misses me, but it hits. Plus the timing on jumping that lunge is ABSURD.

      There is such an absurd lack of any kind of predictability to this fight. Usually dying in FromSoft, I know what I did wrong in a given situation, but here is so weird. And it's not that that his move set-set is unpredictable, it's the way it warps your sense of spacing.

      I think im in the exact right position to dodge / block / hit him? 3 out of 4 times I am. The other IM NOT for some god forsaken chaotic reason, and when those errors result in insta-death, it's like FUCK ME.

      I've never given up on a FromSoft boss before. Never. But this makes me feel insane. I'm legitimately WORSE at him after 3 fucking days. And no, it's not just a "fell into a rut" thing. It's because this isn't a muscle memory fight. It's too chaotic. U need skittish reaction time

      Okay, making a real go on OWL (Father) now - What do I do with that tight lunging sword sweep!??!? It's like jumping feels wrong, but I can't dodge the side form it either??? Trying to get into the rhythm of this and barely got my feet yet.

          FINAL BOSS TIME!!! It is amazing how weak Genichiro is now, even with his stoopid sword. Isshin is... Seeming not horrible so far? Haven't got to deathblow yet but I feel steady.... But right now those three dots give... pause.

          All I wanted to do was get to phase 2 consistently to be able to figure out how to fight him. Here's what that's looked like. Die against Genchiro 23 times cause I forgot how to play this game. Die first round Isshin or Genichiro still next 15 times. I need to go kill weaklings

          Okay. I got to Isshin again. ALMOST got to phase 2, just got greedy and pushed right the end. But at least I proved I wasn't crazy... well... not crazy in this specific way. Time for a reset. Quitting for now. <3

          Update on Final Boss: I can perfect my way past Genichiro 80% of the time. With Isshin I'm getting to second stage, oh, 60% of the times from there. I don't like that I have to use like 5 heals, but I'm getting better. When I get to that 2nd stage, MAN, hard to figure it out...

          So fun wrinkle: so MUCH of this is the rapid timing between block and striking - I've gotten into this weird mistake where sometimes I'm Ichimonji -ing w/ my combat arts hit just because the time I'm trying to strike after i block thinks I'm hitting both at once. It SUX

          Oh no, that thing where your hands hurt and you're going cross-eyed and tired but you're afraid if you quit you'll lose your rhythm and never do as well as you're doing right now> so you'll never beat the boss and this entire thread will be in vain and everyone will be sad at you

          I'm gonna write a bigger article, but first some final thoughts here, where I should first give a few superlatives. Favorite fight: Owl(father) - intense, gorgeous, fluid, and beating him was my biggest "see the matrix moment" where I was in total control. Just perfect.

          Least Favorite: Demon of Hatred, which I argue outright doesn't count. It's not that iT's A sOuLsBoUrnE boss, it's that it's a BAD soulsbourne boss. Rare hitbox problems, and chaos created by the uneven environ. The rare Fromsoft fight I don't call cruel, but "bad design" on.

          Lastly, it's sort of hard to sum up my thoughts on all this, largely because this is my least accessible / most pedantic twitter thread I've ever written. I've lost like 600 followers and so many of you hopefully muted this. It must have been boring!

          After all, so rarely was I digesting or spitting out things to help someone unfamiliar make sense of it or making jokes. So often it was "how do I get spacing with this dude's move? How do I block x?" etc., it was expressing frustration, or talking through my own myopic process.

          So why did I keep doing it? Easy... So I didn't have to go through it alone. And you were all there, helping me through it. So this is dedicated to all of you. Know it meant so much in a game that has easily become one of my favorites of all time. You're all the best <3
