Also the miniboss fight in the castle dojo is the most incredibly badass samurai poo poo . It took me a million tries but I think my successful run was under 2 minutes long -- he dies super quickly but shreds your health with a single combo and successfully parrying him felt so badass

So uhh if I resurrect and die again, my allies will get more and more sick, but will that also happen if I just choose to die WITHOUT resurrecting at all?

Correct . I think the only reason not to rez is just if the fight is hopeless and you want to give up early

I'm kind of torn on whether I miss the orange soapstones. It's such a cool system but on the other hand, even if you don't read them, just seeing them in the world is kind of a spoiler sometimes when there are like 15 crowded around a secret door or a cliff you can jump down to get an item . I didn't really notice til playing this how much easier they made exploration

Mash L1 really fast like 6 times in a row. All I really had to do was take like a quarter of his lifebar off and after that parrying a single attack string and then using the footstool jump counter when he does his sweep attack was enough to let me deathblow him. I think I used the pocket sand item + a charged attack to chip the health off, rolling and then counterattacking felt way too dangerous

Also I think the Fistful of Ash is really powerful, it has dangerously short range but it's worked on most bosses so far and the stun effect is super useful and everyone probably has like 80 of them in their inventory

Even the tiniest pussy bow users will 0 Frame pull out a Katana and insta parry a weak attack. Why. It just makes me feel like a dipshit.

It helped for me to think about how the health bar and posture bar interact . If an enemy's lost some vitality already , them blocking your attacks is still a win for you because it's putting you closer to breaking their posture. The pattern that works on a lot of humanoid guys for me is dodging attacks and getting in quick hits to chip at their health, and then around 50% just all-out attacking them while they block you and only stopping to parry poo poo .

Holy poo poo midair prosthetic tools is such a simple yet powerful upgrade . It has massively expanded my move set

edit: it really is crazy how this game has so many skill trees but manage to make them all interesting . Nioh had a cool idea with the skill trees but there was a bunch of bullshit "+5% spear damage" stuff on there that just takes the fun out of it . Almost every upgrade here feels really exciting to get , and once you start upgrading prosthetics they get extremely versatile

its very funny that bloodborne was all “haha, shields engender a mmmmm certain passivity. have a gun” and this one is all “mash that fuckin block button, block while your jumping, block while parrying, lock it down”

I think the general Satisfaction Per Boss Beaten ratio for me in this game has been better than any souls title. Probably because when you actually have a winning fight it just clicks and you feel like a god. Multiple times now I've lost a dozen times in a row on someone only to go back and completely dunk on them without even using a resurrection

Its really loving me up that every souls game (and even bloodborne to an extent) is "keep your distance and attack when you can" while this one is all about getting up their butts
