lmao I just spent like 2 hours bumblefucking through Hirata Estate and not only did I miss the flame vent like 10 times but I didn't realize I was running by the spot to open the door that leads directly to the shinobi hunter. So now next time I play, I can just cruise past the whole burning village and right up the alley to those guys without burning tons of time/healing trying to get through the 7 or 8 dudes by the bonfire

Look Sir Droids posted:So if I’m at the chained ogre, is the fire cannon close? The dude nearby told me where it is, but I’m not really sure where I am. No. The flame vent requires you to use the little bell from the old lady to open one of the time travel bits. It takes you to Hirata Estates, and you'll find the flame vent in a bonfire with a few guys around it. It's in the burned out village section BEFORE you go up a ramp. Super easy to miss, I walked by it a dozen times

The Walrus posted:dang the shinobi hunter is loving my day up. should I even be trying to parry his red thrusts, or just circle dodging? I think I need to be dodging either earlier to get entirely out of the way or later to get some iframes as he keeeeeeps hitting me. I guess I could just go back to the main path.. You could sneak through the grass and get a deathblow on him then mikiro counter his thrust for a decent chunk of posture damage

ghostinmyshell posted:I'm curious about the voice language options. I see it wants you to default to Japanese but is anyone playing in English and want to comment on it? From Software games always had some cheesy english acting to make the jank more entertaining. I'm doing English for this run and think it's a pretty solid job. I think Wolf's VA does a good job conveying a "I'm too old for this poo poo" attitude. I'll probably do Japanese audio for the next run

I was trying to do a deathblow from above then wall jump onto the roof of a house and hide out til I could do another. A couple times, the camera lock felt like it wouldn't let go and I'd end up hopping towards the enemy pile instead of away and up

I finally beat the shinobi hunter and I couldn't do it worth my own advice because I could not figure out which of his Perilous attacks was the one I could use the Mikiro counter on So I stealth deathblow after clearing out the goons then just went ham with the axe. It would stagger him so I just spammed til I could do a death blow Next mini boss looks very tough so I think I'm gonna piss off from the estate for a bit. I got the heal on deathblow skills at least

Hey can I get some advice for Lady Butterfly? I can consistently get her into P2 without needing any healing items, but she has an attack combo where she summons 4 butterflies and chains a bunch of slashes that ends with a Perilous. If I block, the butterflies soak up my posture and cause the slashes to break my guard so I get owned by the Perilous. If I try to parry the slashes, the butterflies seem to stagger me so I get owned by the Perilous. If I try to dodge, the attack tracks and I eat all the slashes then get owned by the Perilous. Should I just back dodge when I see the butterflies to make some space? Also, should I kill the illusions? I know they drop emblems but my strategy for em so far has been to bait them into a corner then run across the room and hug a pillar when they turn into butterflies. This causes most of them to hit the pillar instead of me, but I'm not sure if I'm being too risky with that

If anyone is still struggling with Shinobi Hunter, you can just kinda brute force him if you can't time your mikiri counter right. Clear the goons around him, stealth off 1 bar of HP, then wail on him with the axe. The axe will do a big chunk of posture damage and stagger him so you can wind up another axe strike. 4 or 5 hits will crumple him and allow you to deal another deathblow e: I also dunno why people are stressing about the Dragonrot stuff. Nobody knows how it works completely, and it seems designed with the impression you'll probably acquire a lot of it on your first or second play through. Just kill stuff and if you die a lot, do better on the next run since it's a built-in assumption for FromSoft games that you'll have to run it multiple times Skypie fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Mar 24, 2019 |

Whew. Seven Spears guy is very technical and I gotta learn to distinguish between the thrust and the sweep. Can the multi stab attack he does be mikiri countered or just parried?

boogiepop posted:mikiri wont let you get free hits on seven spears guy but it's still good to do to keep his posture from regenning, and you can still press the attack after you reset off of the mikiri - he'll block and do the orange flash indicator taht he's about to counter. when you deflect that counter attack he'll go veering waaaay off balance to the side and then you can gently caress him up hard with ichimonji and break his posture really fast. once i figured out the pattern of which attack to deflect to send him off balance he became easy as pie Oxxidation posted:counter the follow-up as well and he'll stumble, that's how i managed to beat him I'll have to try this, I just keep getting wrecked. I've gotten him close by cheesing it and basically running in with ash or sparks to stagger him and chipping him then baiting out his non-Perilous three hit combo and using Nightjar to chip again. Ytlaya posted:So I just got to some Shinobi Hunter miniboss and wish there was a sculptor stone closer to him. I ended up choosing to port out (is there no cooldown or limit on using the "hearthstone" item?) because I didn't want to lose the ~800 sen I had saved and wanted to use on getting the firecracker (which I ended up getting, increasing my ninja tool count to 4). I have a terrible time navigating these areas. FYI, you can open the main door from that path. When you come up the stairs/ramp after the bonfire where you get the flame vent, you turn left. You can go unbar the door. Then if you die at the Shinobi Hunter, you can bypass the first alleyway from behind, kill the two dudes in front of the shrine, the two shield dudes + goon on the stairs, and you're right back at the Hunter's little area.

Blaziken386 posted:Is there really a benefit to upgrading the shurikens before fighting her? I thought the timing to knock her out of the air with the default shuriken was pretty easy. It's not too bad, but if you chuck a regular shuriken at her while she's on the rope, she sometimes deflects it. You gotta wait for the Perilous kanji or for her to backflip off to nail her. I did it without the upgraded shuriken, and because I'm a dumb idiot hellfucker, the only upgrade I made was the sparks cuz I was hoping it'd make the bull easier (it did not)

Ok so am I correct in thinking that for ORin of the Water, she's only vulnerable after a Perilous or ash/firecracker and so it's a long game of patience with her? I can't find any openings otherwise so I'm not sure if I'm on it or if I've missed the trick to her

mikeraskol posted:That's not the only time, you can get a hit in basically after every chain. But yes, you're guaranteed to get a couple after she does the five hit combo ending with the perilous attack. She's really easy just takes a minute, be patient. Yup, just got her by basically making sure to parry everything and jump on her head. Her Posture meter was smaller than I thought and she attacks so aggressively that it was easier to fill than I was expecting initially

Corrupted Monk is a fun fight that I suck at because the parry timing is delayed due to wind-up and I can't read the animation difference between thrust and sweep on him
