While I definitely love bloodborne s connected world, I kind of like the missions making it easier to take a break. Like, sure, I have "just one more mission... Oh gently caress it's 4am" going on, but at the same time, if I don't have a lot if time to play, I can just do a submission and it's not a big commitment.

Relin posted:why does twilight exist when hard is the same thing Not sure what you mean here. Twilight missions are dailies with different enemy layouts. verbal enema posted:Wait what Yeah any bonfire up will kill added blobs depending on the phase. You can light the bonfires using braziers in the level. new phone who dis posted:I wrestled with that hook and chain thing for a couple of hours and almost gave up when I couldn't beat the first demon. Made a new guy with a spear and sword and ran through the entire first zone without a death, including killing the demon. Kasurigama pro tip: play in high stance 90% of the time. The light attack with heavy combo finisher owns as does the pull in closer and the blocking and heavy flurry. Low stance is good for procing and antagonizing. Honestly not sure why mid stance even exists for this weapon. Also big PRO TIP: stance changes are instant so you can be in low stance, dash around someone quickly, and then during the dash switch to high stance for a heavier attack. It's way worse to just always stay in one stance the game is meant to be constantly switching and mixing it up.

So got a great water weapon on my ninja build. Who was always great and setting people on fire. I can get discord on bosses that aren't strong to those two now. Its insanely strong. They go down in about 1 combo after it lands. No matter their health.

Yeah low does almost no damage. I mainly use that to chip health and then finish with the backstep attack. Heavy absolutely wrecks worlds against almost all enemies and routinely hits weak points.

Alright, any advice? I just beat the fourth boss but afterwards instead of being pumped, I felt like I was cheesing him the whole time, running around in circles. Which let me to realize that I don't do a whole lot of L1 blocking in this game, and I'm also poo poo and hitting R1 after attacks when the ki glow appears. I guess any victory is a victory, I just didnt know if there were things I could be doing better. video: https://youtu.be/XZO25iL7pr8

I'd call that hidden load screens. By connected, I just meant that the zones physically connect, and are not seperate missions. Also in bb you can see most zones from each other, which makes a visual connection. After practicing parrying for several hours, I can confidently say I have no idea how it's supposed to work. I thought I did, but I've had plenty of attacks that I know are parriable bounce right off the supposed sweet spot for my parry animation, and I've tried sooner and later and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be trying to do differently. I'll be damned if it doesn't feel awesome the 1% of the time it works... Any advice?

That's what I'm trying to do. Haze into backwave. I also have the triangle one. Edit, oh, not backwave. Haze 2. I assumed that haze and backwave were mutually exclusive. Or, rather, you could necissarily only be executing one at once.

Haze is square while blocking and it moves the enemy behind you. Haze 2 lets you do a sexont strike eith an extra button oress that does massive damage. Water shadow is triangle while block and it puts you behind the enemy. Water shadow 2 lets you do a follow-up strike with an extra button press. But timing the first button press is the hard part. It feels like I have to sense when an enemy is a out to attack and hit the button before their attack starts half the time. Backwave is blocking right before an attack. I don't have it unlocked, but it says it knocks the enemy off balance. I assume if they are knocked off balance I couldn't follow throguh my block with haze or water shadow.

OK so I'm not very far into this game, just beat the bat lady, and I still am kinda baffled by the blacksmith. I understand forging and all that, but as far as soul matching and whatnot I am lost. It seems no matter what combination of poo poo I try, none of the weapons turn out any better than what I'm putting into it. I try things with max familiarity both ways, and it just switches one skill for another it seems, if even that! The only real point I can see is that if you really think a weapon looks cool, you can make it the same level or whatever, but you can just transmog that? What am I missing? Also should I just disassemble everything I don't care about?

His arms won't even come close. Yeah I was doing all that. I actually beat him my first try after venting in that post. That's how it goes. My god, two kusarigama skills are ridiculously easy tools for farming revenants. Both high stance skills. Hold triangle to lasso them toward you, then the one where you press triangle while blocking to trip them. Critical attack while they're down. Rinse, repeat, get gear forever.

I can do Haze and Water Shadow, but I have no idea how to do Backwave. How can I tell if I've perfect blocked? I've tried to press block again after what I thought was a perfect block but nothing happens. Is the timing just super tight?Snak posted:Yeah, right after I posted about not getting it, I nailed like 8 parries. It feels so sick. I still don't really get what I'm trying to do, but going on pure instinct is working pretty well. I was just about to reply to your post and say that I have no idea how to describe the timing. It's easy in Dark Souls (your shield should hit the enemy's hand) and Bloodborne (your bullet should hit right as the enemy starts to lunge or swing forward), but in this, it's more like... you need to be right at the start of the parry animation when the enemy's weapon connects with you? Maybe that's it? Either way, just like you, I'm operating on pure instinct now. I took out a sub-mission samurai boss in the last region with nothing but Haze parries just now and it felt amazing.

I'm guessing, but not sure, that the parry is only active before your sword "turns over". Like the first third to first half of the parry animation. But it feels really natural, timing-wise.

Does Otani drop his smithing text at Sekigahara, or do you have to farm him at Sawayama? EDIT: No sooner do I ask than he drops it at Sekigahara, so I guess that answers my question!

Parrying can akso be really great in groups. You're invincible during the parry, and you follow it up with a grapple or a final blow, both of which you are also invincible during. So if you can pull off the parries jn the first place, you can focus down human enemies out of a group. Other reminder: disassembling everything is good, but old weapons that jave high familiarity should be offered at the shrine in stead. You get nothing from the blacksmith for high familiarity, while amrita from the shrine scales with it. This purple I'm about to replace is worth 17k at the shrine. Yeah that's not a huge amount, but it's not nothing.
