You say the performance is bad but it easily averages twice ds3's ps4 framerate even in movie mode. Anyway low stance is pretty dece for dealing with groups because you reload stamina when dodging so you can get in and out without worrying too much about it. E: You can put yourself into matchmaking to be summoned after you finish the first stage

You can parry barehanded and it's awesome https://a.pomf.cat/dqzbor.webm More hot tips: Weapons don't have weight so don't hesitate to put a big rear end axe or whatever in your second slot. Make sure you buy the combo finisher moves, some of them are really good, like the high stance spear one automatically reloads your stamina when you do it. Shoot dudes in the face with arrows it does so much damage.

NPC bloodstains seem to have a pretty good chance of exploding into loot like pinatas when you beat them so they're worth giving a shot. I found Kou Shibusawa in a cave near the end of the first stage but I couldn't beat him. Btw I think there might be more playable characters in the full game because on the stage select screen it says WILLIAM with a picture of the dude on the side as though you'd need to be aware of who you're playing as for that stage.

I'm looking forward to getting off work so I can continue clawing my way through stage 2. Every inch forward is a huge struggle for me, it's really satisfying.

There's a real stage 2 after you beat the boss of stage 1, though I've seen people say it's a lot shorter.

Throw a couple of points into whatever they're calling magic and get the charms that increase stamina regen and slow enemies, they're super good

I think you can maybe shoot Nue in the mouth with arrows while its shooting its laser and it gets KO'd, at least that seems to be what hosts keep doing to it. Maybe?

For anything that I can't reliably stagger I usually don't wait to do the full pulse, I just reset right after the attack so I can get back to blocking or backdash out of there. Been a big difference for not eating attacks from yokai over and over.ExCruceLeo posted:Is there a level cap in the demo? I'm level 35 or something and it hasn't stopped me yet.

You can do that by breaking their uh, well it's not stamina but I don't know what to call it, their second gauge, and any hit will make them flinch until they recover. That damage was bananas though. Guess he doesn't like water.

And it turns out just slapping Nue in the face with anything while it's shooting its mouth laser is enough to instantly break that gauge for a bunch of free hits.

If you only move the stick a little while locked on you stay facing your target. Obv no help against big groups but hey If regular enemies are hitting you for huge amounts of hp check your armor, it really does make a difference.

i don't think you really need to gear up for stage 2, i made a second character and went through all of it with equipment from stage 1 except swapping out for better swords as i found them, but it was like one trip so it's not like i was grinding. mostly because all of the ronin stuff i was finding in stage 2 seemed to be worse than what i got from developer ghosts in stage 1, like the defense modifier (???) went up but the actual defense numbers vs. break and vs. lightning were lower so i just didn't use any of it.

when nue hunkers down and shakes himself like a wet dog you're about to get hit by lightning from the sky. 4 bolts, you can dodge them by just running around or hiding under the awnings at the front and back of the arena. when he starts charging his mouth laser run to his right side and hit him to KO him for tons of free damage, also a good time to use your living weapon. if you have 3 or so flame shuriken throw them all of them at his face at the very start and you'll probably set him on fire, which is pretty tough to do otherwise.Harrow posted:What's everyone's favorite guardian spirit?

lightning slows down enemies movements by a lot, i'm not really sure what ice does even though I've seen it go off a bunch of times. combining any two gets you a third status effect that's just like long duration guard break, it's really good also status effects just get applied per hit, so low stance is the best way to set someone on fire or w/e real quick lets hang out fucked around with this message at 04:29 on May 1, 2016 |

if you're having trouble dodging his balls which definitely do have some wonky huge hitboxes take off all your armor so you get way longer rolls

just assume you're not going to be able to iframe through his balls, dodge away from them. when he's swinging them overhead one at a time dodge in the opposite direction from the side he's swinging from. get one maybe two hits and then block his turn around swings, take your time. like with all yokai, overcommitting is death don't try to get the full ki pulse, mash R1 as soon as your attack finishes so that you can move again as quickly as possible lets hang out fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 1, 2016 |

its up for basically everywhere not north america. 4.358 GB mashing through your stamina doesn't leave you wheezing it just prevents you from attacking. if someone empties your stamina by hitting you (guarding or otherwise) you do still get stunned. lets hang out fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Aug 23, 2016 |
