drat, I suck at countering. Thankfully blocking and spamming attack still takes care of the lower level enemies. When you return to the tower where you first meet the kid in the intro, there's a miniboss with a big rear end lance that slaughters my rear end. Anyone got some hints for taking him down?

Asehujiko posted:Is there any trick to the mounted general beyond praying he doesn't rear up out of the camera's field of view and starting his golf swing combo from where you can't see or counter it? I got him by mostly using plain blocking instead of trying to time the parries. His attacks doesn't seem to harm your guard meter that much.

I have never had ANY good experience with Steam controller support. My first experience was that games didn't work because buttons were randomly mapped away to nothing and I had to do a lot of troubleshooting before I realized Steam thought it could manage my 360 pad better than the games themselves.

I am really thankful for that - death on fall in a game with tons of jumping around which also has levels built basically in the clouds, would be torture.

Your Computer posted:dumb question but where do I spend all my money? I've only found the one vendor on the top of a plateau in the very first area who sold a couple of things and nowhere else to spend my money, am I missing something? Not sure which one you refer to here, might be one I've missed. Here's those I've found: After beating horse rider boss backtrack up the stairs to find an area with a few NPCs inside and a vendor outside to the right. He sells one not-estus shard too! Climbing up to the main castle somewhere to the right with all the rooftops, there is a NPC stuck inside near the castle wall. Talk to him and he will show up in the shrine later. Near the main castle entrance to the left, next to a not-bonfire which leads to a catacomb-like area On the other side of the broken bridge (where the previews showed a boss fight) inside one of the buildings is a hat dude vendor

How do you get to the cave near the temple, near the Ashina Outskirts Wall? It's way down on a cliff face there, and no grapple points.

Is there a trick to taking on the blue clothed samurai in Ashina Castle Upper Tower, or is it just a matter of Git Gud? That unblockable attack that takes half my health always catches me by surprise.

Oh wow, the Upper Tower Dojo miniboss was at first really hard, but then everything clicked and I got him on my second attempt with a new technique. Double tap LB when he attacks! He hits twice, so you gotta parry both attacks. And he takes so much posture damage when doing that he's basically "double parry, the tutorial"

After finishing the castle and the next area (Senpou Temple) I just got another sword, the Mortal Blade and I'm not sure where to proceed after this. All path seem gated off by hard as gently caress bosses. There's two bosses that spam terror so quickly I never got time to cure it before dying, and then there's the blunderbuss dude. Any hints for where I should go? There's also a big rear end bell of DOOM, should I ring it or not?

Upper Tower Antechamber is a good warp point to farm a little bit of skill points/money risk free. You can stealth kill three of the blue robed samurai there easily, which gives you about 250 skill points and 300 sen, then just rest and repeat.

So, cave in poison area. How do I get past the second snake encounter? I can go down the left side and there's a grapple point, but of course he attacks me as soon as I jump there.

Not sure, but I might be close to the end game, maybe? Or late game at least. Castle level lost all the waypoints and it's been invaded by much harder enemies. And on top of the castle is a cutscene with a choice. I picked obey, might have been a bad choice, or maybe it doesn't really matter. And goddamnit, the ninja that is in the temple behind the castle now took me like two hours and of course he's just a normal miniboss and drops a bead.

Wow, just discovered that there are alternate gourds that works against poison etc. I never read the description closely so thought they were just expensive single use items, but they work exactly like your health gourd and refill the charges when resting.

rio posted:Dragonrot question - so apparently I missed the item that cures everyone’s dragonrot. I was backtracking and randomly found what I needed to get it. I’m wondering when using a droplet, will the “slight increase in Resurrective Power” be permanent or are they referring to how it resets Unseen Aid percentage and it will go back down after I die enough? To cure people, you have to use it from the Idol/bonfire menu. If you use it straight from your inventory, I just assume it adds to your little circles so you can resurrect after already doing it once, and is not permanent. Also, playing through the game once has definitely given me some skills. Second NG playthrough now, and I was up to the Dojo before the first Dragonrot appeared.

NPC quest question time: Dude near your return to the starting area Does he have a quest, or does he just pop up in random places to give flavor text? Dungeon Are there any NPCs that you can feel justified in sending to the Surgeon? So far it seems really evil to send the ones I've been prompted about. Thirsty guy in village Can I do anything with him? Or with the guy in the house with 1000 pots? Beyond the village Can I resolve the thing with the ghost lady without simply fighting her? Also, my opinion is that you definitely should go to Senpou Temple before defeating the castle boss. It will give you more XP, another skillbook and lots of items, and skillwise it seems easier than the other areas you can proceed into.

Alan Smithee posted:For Lady Butterfly should I level up a bit before facing her later? I only got the 4 prayer beads and her melee is more than half my drat health Probably. Go find some more prayer beads, and be sure to kill at least the first proper boss in the main path of the game to get a slightly stronger attack.

I think Dragonrot is a percentage chance for each person, and the percentage check triggers/increases with each death.

No loot, no exp and when I rest she's back sitting smugly, i should be mad but the mental image is too funny If you just want to progress, and not kill her - I assume you're in the Gun Fort area - there's a ledge you can shimmy on to the left of her arena to continue onwards
