charm is harder than bell, but the extra hp and damage from ng+ makes it doable. it's the same game, being aggressive and playing close but patient enough to wait for attacks you know you can punish is still what works.

but more seriously. Can you stop Owl doing is posture recovery? It goes off so fast and behind his poison obstacles, does a shuriken work? Had no emblems so couldn't try. Asked a pal how they dealt with it but she said it only happened once but he did it to me 4 times so the fight took ages lol

I just did a thrust attack when he did it, usually worked in time. Note that doing thrust attacks on him is a bad habit to get into

shuriken + followup attack should probably do it but i personally just run straight for his rear end and do the thrust 99% of the time

Ty friends. When I beat him it was insanely sweaty (reduced to my pellets ftw) and super deep into the fight so didn’t want to risk running through his poison when he did it before the posture heal. Love that I can just replay him in memory now though

Used mortal draw after his first deathblow then totally by accident later and got massive damage on him but used up all my emblems for shurikens lol

There's a strong argument to be made that it's the best PS5/XSX game available at the moment and also for the foreseeable future.

Demon's Souls remake kicks rear end but there's not much reason to upgrade otherwise lol. I never had a PS4 Pro though so some PS4 games are already running better.

demons souls does kick rear end, but i'm gonna hold off until theres a new game that i want (armored core 6 pls) and then pick up demons souls after that. i'm def looking forward to the jump up from my launch ps4 to a 5 though

There aren't many chances to use it but there are definitely a few more besides Genichiro at least.

Cool I think that’s the one thing I had to google cos the in battle and loading screen tool tips gave different mechanics for it. Also the web said Hanbei should teach it but he never did for me

Double ape fight wasn't as bad as feared, could beat his first phase easily enough now especially with the purple brolly. But phase two got sloppy and I died. Beat it second try with my powerful move MORTAL DRAW on the brown ape whenever the other was screaming and once I'd won there was smooth sailing apart from the three times I nearly died.
