oh no somebody gave the monkeys swords, and there's a million of them

The student approached the Zen master seated near the kuromatsu tree

"Master," he said, "what is the meaning of life?"

The master responded, "Would you rather fight 100 small monkeys armed with swords, or one big monkey?"

The student was silent. The master struck him with his staff, and in that moment, the student was enlightened.

I don't understand why sometimes I get a big hit with my flame vent and other times the ape no-sells it

Are you charging it

The second phase doesn't give a gently caress about fire

Second phase: if you have the confetti that makes your sword glow purple, the second phase is weak to that. If you are able to deflect a few of his swings in sequence, he will eventually rise up completely vertical with his sword in the air. Deflect that big swing and it will knock him flat on his face for big damage

I never even considered this because it's exactly the kind of attack that can't be parried. Terminal souls brain.

hm how would you know to try that because you don't know the centipede is there until he's done dead.

That's the thing, you wouldn't. It's part of the game's amazing environmental storytelling because that boss is just so overwhelming that chances are you are at some point going to throw every single trick you have at it just to see what sticks and there will be a nonzero number of players who just try whipping out the spear and snare the centipede and have a "whoa" moment. This game is perfect

hardest boss in the game imo but only because he does chip damage. try the fire lotus umbrella

The fire umbrella will completely blank his super high leap stomp attack and leave you right under his nuts to hit him. Just make sure you hold it long enough to absorb the shockwave that comes after he lands or you will get blown back

that charge is ridiculous, by the time the warning shows it feels too late

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you can actually jump kick off of his head as he passes by. You just don't want to be on the ground

And then you'll have fought him 20 or 30 times over the course of the game and on NG+ he will immediately grab you and hurl you off the cliff

Most of what held me up on my first playthrough was not even attempting to parry certain things because I assumed they couldn't be but drat near everything that isn't an outright death attack can be deflected if not necessarily blocked
