same. It's not "easy" but once I got it I feel like much more of a master than I ever did in the other games. it's a godly feeling... I feel like on NG+ all my boss battles will look like true cinematic duels

I couldn't play much around release so I was stuck on Lady Butterfly for like 2-3 weeks. She will likely hold the highest body count for me

Ludwig was definitely the most soul-crushing souls boss for me in that he actually made me put down the game for like a month before I was able to return and beat him, but highest bodycount was ook followed closely by owldad

if you hold the sprint button and stay mid distance from her basically all her attacks whiff and leave her wide open for a lunging r1 or a combat art .. thats how i got past her and probly how ill always fight her, i already 0 hit her on my 2nd run i just started. i still think my way is going to be the future meta for a lot of bosses. genichiro/tomoe cannot do a thing to you if u play it that way too

handing over kuro's charm on ng+ makes it difficult again. i'm enjoying getting the parry timings absolutely right to avoid chip damage

confirmed sprint + thrust or combat art is pwnage tech ... 2x guardian ape first try, o rin goes down ez like that too .. though obviosuly some bosses like the centipede and minibosses like the one before genchiro u must deflect. im also learning to iframe through attacks .. im becoming ... fuking leet.

i finally beat guardian ape then double ape in 1 shot then beat orin with what appeared to be a cheese (basically blocked all of her attacks without full deflect and then just used ichimonji double to regain posture) and now im settling in for owl

dont think there really is much true cheese in this game. ending spoilers emma and the corrupted monk (illusion style) have one but thats it. oh and butterfly can do the shadows of yarnham dodge loop in her firsst phase.

Orin has the longest windup to her perilous attack. Use it to goomba stomp her head for massive posture damage

Ok i was really loving bad at this game on release so i took like a month off and just picked it back up last night and whoooo its fun now.

Perfecting the corrupted monk and doing the guardian ape stuff was a blast.

Have they announced it yet? It sold so well, I figured it would be announced. Maybe they're not going to do any

they definitely planned the old hunters alongside bloodborne and probly even started working on it before they released the normal game so i think so

I said this a few other times but I really sincerely hope there's DLC that lets you replay the main campaign as different characters/styles, like a madame butterfly or genichiro style playthrough

Owl 2 kicked my rear end so many times before beating his first phase I thought he was going to be the hardest souls boss of all time, but his second phase is basically the same so it ended up being just the hardest boss of this game

I got owl 2 phase 1 on LOCK except for his stupid firecrackers which always catch me in this perfect position where i’m too close to run backwards or to the side and too far back to run forward. (or i’m hosed against a pillar and that narrows my options too)

it’s the only attack i can’t consistently survive, punish, or react to

Imagine if we could play as Tomoe

I could also see playing as orangutang - he used the shinobi prosthetic as well, after all
