yep, but it's still fun to try and murk your guy before everyone else

huh, that's a fun idea. i'll try that.

also, i played both previous characters with the kirk and then ludwigs. this is my first character with a trick weapon that doesn't have a 2H mode. it's made me a lot better at parrying, but also helped me realize that the gun is useful in just interrupting attacks. like i just went up against the choir hunter, and i stunlocked her into a corner then punished with untransformed R1s, backstepped to get my stamina back, and then repeated. so much easier than going toe to toe with her.

he was the only guy i cheated with. i would shoot him a couple of times then he would cut himself and come after me while his health would go down and i would run out of the cathedral. i did this like 20 times until he died lol

mysterious loyall x, may I request your lore interpretation on the scene in the good ending when the space man comes down and hugs you for a minute and then fights you and then you give birth to a slug? My theory is that this is the romance side quest that knuc so desperately seeks

Hmm I just checked and in the trophy description it says you became an infant great one, lifting humanity to its next childhood so I just assumed that the moon creature makes you prego (like iosefka and arianna) and you become your child or something (which is a pretty killer feature of space relations if true). It's true that it does look like kos, or some say kosm, though

we are dangerously close to saying betelgeuse a third time here

The beast part of the story is basdd on the iron maiden song abput the werewolf running around in the chicken coop (back in the village from ppwersla e) the kin part is based on tje song moon child from 7th son of a 7th son.

is there a trick to the chain version of undead giant? it's my least favorite boss in the game, and i just want to get past it.

hit him once with something like the whip and then dodge back twice. and never hit his tumor unless it'll finish him off.

or just spam tiny tonitrus but that makes the fight from a hectic test in patience to being one of the most boring fights in the game.

once you get his moves and distances down he's actually kinda fun to fight but thankfully you only have to do it once.

tests of patience are my weakest point. i think it's why i suck so much at ludwig phase 2.

He alternates his scythe combo between 2-4 hit combos. You can tell when its over because he gets up slower. U can punish his scythe low swipe with a quick dash in but it has a huge range so careful when u bait it out. His club slam os pretty ez to punish. When he gets the chains out its less bad to be hit by the chains than the ballz. U basically have to bait and punish everything with a h maybe two if u use a quick weapon. Hes weak to lightning if u got paper or tiny tontrotus. Try to save killin his tumor for the end.
