Earlier shitpost aside this has me wanting to give the game another try. I stalled out real early, at... Jyobu the Drunk I think? on one path, and just after first meeting something in a canyon on the other route at the time. Just stopped making progress and gave up. Maybe I'll learn something here!

Even in these supposedly "fumbling" early stages ThornBrain is doing so much better than I did, it's kind of unreal. Must have died two dozen times before I progressed to the ol' red-eye they mentioned

anilEhilated posted:I had absolutely no idea Snap Seeds do that. Me neither. Thorn insists that fight with the Corrupted Monk is pretty easy; on my own first playthrough I completely failed to beat her until I stunlocked her 100-50ish with pocket sand and exploding pocket sand. (Not the deathblow... exploit?... that Thorn showed, just attacking while she flinched.)

The thing about that is, even being halfway through NG+1, I don't really recognize the difference! The goal's to break posture either way, but whether I have to drain Vitality first or not my response is the same: get swingin' and deflectin' Probably that's why Corrupted Monk was so rough - I don't know what moves are reliable for hitting Vitality besides the dodge-counter.

Rigged Death Trap posted:There are exceptions: You can deflect the snake-eyes grab move, and a future boss also has a sweep-grab that can be avoided by jump kicking in place TIL on the snake-eyes grab, but I'm gonna keep dodging anyway because the timing on that is super weird On the Perilous topic, I think we've already seen examples of non-Perilous attacks that are still unblockable. At least it seems, having been through it a few times, that some of Corrupted Monk's slams will slap you silly if you even try to deflect, let alone block. [quote] EponymousMrYar posted:The Samurai in the dojo can be a bit hard to perfect parry with the default controls. Slapping your block button somewhere that's easier to double-tap can really make him trivial. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Oh! I had read that deflects meant posture could never be broken, so I always ride high on it when I know the animations well. I didn't think those heavy slams would break that rule, didn't make the connection. Good to know!

Lord_Magmar posted:Ah, they don't break that rule, but if you have the timing even a little off it will count as a block instead of a deflect and so you'll eat crow. The flying back slide on the ground animation isn't a posture break, but it might as well be with how long you take to recover when it happens. Genechiro's fully drawn arrow can cause the same effect on a parry as a note of interest. Are these attacks that mush you through blocks if your posture breaks the same ones that cause the pushback on deflect? (Therefore it's always worth getting out of the way instead?)

Incidentally ThornBrain you did exactly the opposite of what I did with the Monkey Party: I saw them and thought "there's no way I'm not getting stuck in" and leaped into the middle of them, sword a whirlin it ended badly

Hey, got-it-first-try bud  The re-fight is basically a final exam - you've seen all the bits, and mastered them; you just need to put them together.

I love the Divine Dragon encounter, especially as a dramatic climax to the arc of preparing for immortal severance. The difficulty of the gameplay is scaled way back, so you can put on a good pair of headphones and sink into the visual and (beautifully-mixed IMO) aural spectacle. Whole thing feels cathartic in a way

... wait, your Wolf didn't recognize who DoH was when talking to the NPC afterward? I distinctly remember the conversation going different for me and now I gotta google (edit) Hey, I remembered something right for once!  There is indeed slightly different dialogue there, if you hit every single eavesdrop between the Sculptor and Emma prior to beating the Divine Dragon.
