Depth four chalice is already pretty rough. Its hilarious opening a door and having 10 summoned spiders rush you while you desperately sprint around and search for bell ladies. I'm excited about d5

Miyazaki was a programmer on armored core before he sort of usurped the demons souls project

Armored Core is fun but I don't really think it stands up that well to time, especially compared to Souls.

You are a mercenary building your own Gundam and doing missions and gladiator fights, basically.

Definitely the hardest thing you will do, bosses in the depth 5 Pthumeru I only died on like once if at all (I got too greedy with 3 hits left on the last one). That dog though, that loving diamond dog bastard. Something about him and my playstyle did not work. He took so much. But when I beat him, I didn't cheese him, I didn't get lucky. I fought him one on one, and I defeated him.

You got this. If I made it, you can too.

ive only played 4 and for answer but they're pretty different than __ souls. everything that isnt trash enemies is either fast as hell and flying all the hell around and expects you to do the same or enormous and requires you to pick out vulnerable parts and gameplay is in short bursts where you perform a specific goal instead of generally exploring an area. you're also graded on missions instead of it being a pass/fail kind of thing so the method of how you do things (not getting hit and not spending ammo is generally far better than doing both of those) matters a lot

its pretty hard to describe in comparison, they're more unalike than alike

Sprint to the levers. Visceral the first boss to death. Dodge left and get hits in on second boss. Circle last boss counter clockwise and get hits on head when she swipes with three right arms and arm slams. In the last phase, get behind her and beat her tail and legs. When she jumps, don't move and you won't get hit. Repeat. Win.

Watcher was difficult but watchdog is wrecking me. I'm baiting the bite to my right and dodging left but I'm barely doing damage and half the time he follows with another bite that kills me

I had a really hard time with the dodging left/get some hits on the body/get out. I ended up like when he would bite to the side, clock his head a good one when he was moving it back. If he started doing the vomit thing though, I could get it for a full on charge attack, which would usually interrupt him and I could get another one in, then run like hell before he stomped around. Later on, baiting his like head-spear move could get you some hits too.

e: Yes, this took patience
e2: has INRI or someone posted a video of them murdering it?

Oh my god I forgot it was watchdog. I was thinking abhorrent.

Beat his face when he bites. If he shakes his head after a bite, he's going to double back and bite again. Avoid.

The hardest thing was finding his charge tell when he pulls back from a bite.

Eventually if you keep hitting his head it'll crack and you'll start doing insane damage. Like I think I went from 300->1000

Here's my run at him when I got my uncanny. I think I only get hit once

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7PNRPgRPKA

Oh yeah wear fire armor. Charred hunter gear or bone ash. Should be able to take at least one hit in defiled. Ideally don't get hit though.

He took me a while. So did amy.

Edit: I get caught by his flame bites he dishes out when he bloody his head. I knew I wouldn't die from it tho

i didnt know about the headcracking thing. you can also break each of his legs for a ton of free hits, but he'll always get up and do a big AOE so watch for that

This is pretty much what I was trying to say. As far as it being more boring...I just wasn't good enough to do all that ducking and weaving to hit legs without loving it up, since you don't really have a margin for error.

the aoe always gets me tho. it hits up to 3 times so you cant just dodge through it. as far as i can tell, if youre not on the other side of the room when he does it then its best to just stand there and take it so you dont get counter hit

theyre not very good for that fight TBH. ludwigs or kirkhammer probly finish the fight a minute faster cos of the stun. you probably wont need to wait til he pukes lava to get enough hits in to stagger him with those. but thats the only weapon i have upgraded on that characer
