Yuki-Onna is currently beating Bat Lady and Dumb Centipede for boss that makes me really mad.

I can't figure out how to dodge or block that 5 part 3 way blast icicle thing she does. I got everything else down more or less except that bs charge she does

Always block her icicle crap. Hope you have enough Ki to block all 5 hits because she always follows up with her knife charge.

The charge is really tricky, but you can see her swap weapons before she lunges at you.

Yea I just blocked everything including the 3x5 one. I tried to dodge it a few times when I was learning her but it seemed to track and the next 3 shots would come out too quickly before I could get another dodge off.

Swapping to another guardian that gives you more ki could help idk. Kato is always a good choice for that. And if you have any gear with toughness, slap some on for this fight so you block is better.

If you are far enough away, you can dodge and run sideways when she shoots the ice.

I have been wanting to try if blinding her prevents her from aiming them.

So what's the economy for greens like? Like, I have a +2. I need another +2 to get a +3? So do I have to find another +two +1s as drops before I can get a other +2? Do higher than +1s ever drop?

Inadvertantly sold my primary weapon for Amrita, then beat Onryoki using my backup, an axe. Probably helped me since it slowed me down and made me be more patient.

Definitely had that Souls experience of being out of healing items and beating a boss while one hit away from death, though :toot:

Use the lock feature. It's invaluable.

Edit: also, don't offer things unless you have 90% of what you need to level up and you're just closing that gap. Disassemble them instead.

Edit 2: the amount that ochokos affect drop rate seems.to vary by mission. On Wreathed in Flame, they are .2% each, but in Invitation From the Warrior of the West they are .4% each.

People know there's light armor that isn't Red Demon, right? I'm halfway through NG+ and most revenants still wear at least two pieces of it. Even some axe-wielders. I don't loving get it. They're not even using spears or Enko.

I've been just offering stuff up just to clear out my item list and hope to get elixers in return.

Is there a way to spend gold for elixers? I chose the blessing that upped my chances of having them drop already.

I mean where are they supposed to get other light armor, divine drops are super rare even with 10 cups and most people probably aren't grinding out smithing texts. People use red demon because it's a set with a lot of good bonuses and it's easy to get. I killed hundreds and hundreds of revenants before I found all the parts of otani's set

What this game needed was a way to differentiate between light, medium, and heavy armor on bloody graves so you knew what you were getting into, since weapon type doesn't predict it as well as you'd think (as you said, Axe wielders wearing light armor for some reason). I too have entered Red Demon land and I've given up on fighting revenants for new loot.

It's not like you can run out of elixers... This isn't Bloodborne.

You should disassemble stuff for crafting mats. If you lock gear you want to keep, you can select all without worrying.

You can't buy Elixirs for gold. The lore is that kodama make them, so you can't get them in shops. You do get some base Elixirs every time you pray at a shrine, though, depending on how many kodama you've found in a region, so you can never truly run out.

Why is salt broken? I don't get it. It worked fine during all of the demos. It does nothing now. No effect at all.

Edit: Umi-bozu is not that bad. Bring fire. Falling off is the biggest danger, once you learn the tells.

I found Umi-bozu pretty easy and I wasn't even using the fire guardian, just a few fire amulets or whatever they are called. The tells in phase 1 are super obvious, and phase 2 you can burn him fast enough it barely matters.

The bat chick was way harder, I had more luck doing it in low stance and only going for a couple hits before I'd dodge out.
