Just started the game. First run on Merciless mode. I thought I understood the Endurance concept but it seems im lost on something.

So you hit enemies the pixels appear you time it right hit R1 (PS5) and can heal some.

But then there's the other thing. Attacking enemies, can be distracted, charged attack or normal, enemy not moving and not getting attacked or hit, stamina still well over half but I lose health. Then the more I kill the more health I lose.

There were times it was obvious I was getting hit and times it wasn't but eventually it has now become apparent that hurting or fighting enemies hurts me. Im out of healing items and the small meals don't do anything?

I've tried Google and in not getting any answers that im asking. Can someone plainly explain this to me please?

Im convinced. Actually, I've been convinced. One of my first thoughts was that I should kill myself. I got in trouble in elementary school for saying I should kill myself and that I was going to. In I got in trouble in middle school for saying I was going to kill myself.

I didn't have parents to tell this to but a grandma who just yelled at me for it and made me see a counselor. Also the principal yelled at me about it, the vice principal at both schools, the dean in middle school, the list goes on. Over never been told anytime positive when I say I should only things that further support the idea.

No matter what I do I fail. No matter how hard I try I fail. Everyone every where tests me the same like they're all in on it together but that's impossible they didn't know each other.

My wife doesn't like me. My daughter in constantly told isn't mine and no matter what good I do for her my wife just brings me down. Every father's day she makes sure to go visit her parents 3 hours away while I have to work. Despite raising her and having full court custody im constantly told in not her dad.

Every day something new happens. Every day something that makes still logical sense happens. Every day feels like a simulation by some evil God who I would kill if I could because he thinks this is some game and loves to fuck with me.

I witness the impossible on a daily basis. My stuff gets thrown away it vanishes without a trace and my wife just says she doesn't know.

I don't believe I was meant for this life. I believe it was made as a joke to see how long someone can put up with shit until they have and I want to do bad. More than anything.

When my mom did get out of prison she married some dude who killed himself because of the way she is. The police forced me to clean it up. You'd think the blood, brains, skill fragments and teeth would fuck me up but no they made me jealous.. the lucky bastard got to leave and im still here.

I've survived so many random things that should've killed me that there's no denying it's a joke. They won't let me die because I want to.

1 bullet is all it would take in the right spot. Just 1.

Update: Beat her. Just had to switch around a few starts and change from burn to leech and I finally got her. It's over. Thank God

I never expected the Demon of Obsession to be this hard. This game is hard in itself in terms of difficulty is up there with the hardest souls games and should like but I want ready for this.

​

I've fought this chick everyday after work for a week now and used every consumable I have. Wtf. Everything I read made it sound like she was gonna be easy not this overpowered monster.

​

And even when I do get her down to a sliver of health I can't touch her she goes psycho mode.

​

I've played this game s lot this run and put in some hours and I know half the problem is I can't use the disciplines. I've gone this whole game without using them and I haven't even gone best the L1 or L2 buttons I know sword counter would help but I already feel im over leveled.

​

What are some tips beyond discipline use because the fact is my brain just isn't going to register those and start using them especially at this point I've given that up and I mean it's worked fine for me the entire time but im out of healing items other than the vase. It says to Max it out but I didn't know which skill tree finishes it off because im already at 7 but it only heals half my health and I've finished the entire left side skill tree to the max.

So my last post I was used because I fucked up and didn't follow fang quest but I did follow the guys. I forgot to go talk to the boatman and talked to the storyteller and the world changed before I could go past him. Not sure if I'll able to get back there now.

Im at the Bo place. I've killed Bo Magus and didn't get the chance to even go for her ending there was no spear or anything even though I thought I talked to her at every chance.

I just killed the Dragon Emperor and I refused to give the one guy a piece of the chisel. Im now trying to fight the White Robed Elder to get the last chisel piece and then move forward through the Bo area but im very confused on what ending I'll get.

I won't get the Bo one, I won't get the one where you combine the rings, and I won't get the one where he stabs me after beating him unless it just magically lets him and I don't see how I can get the other boat/ dream ending hut it's my only guess at the one I'll get.

Thoughts?

One been reading this guide trying to get the best ending since I started. I followed it and have some every quest line. I literally feel like I entered another reality because I never heard the Fang Yao until just now. I had read over and over again to follow the questions if the two that join you in the right August the Fierce Tiger, quick I did. I never found any docks and the jar head boy appeared at the refugee camp and disappeared before I, well didn't find find them yet still. I talked to the stroyteller before going into any area past him.

The other guys questline followed through just fine. Not now the works has changed and I didn't match up with any of the endings which means im just going to get the worst ending I guess? I don't even know this has made me not want to play.

One read this same guide over and over again since I started about the questions and she the things she the pieces and not giving them and the white robed elder. Now there's this Fang person and a silk scarf? Still never found any docks but went over every area besides the one party the story teller didn't know I was going to change the world in that moment.

Everything has gone wrong and I have lost all ambition to play. I know it didn't say fangs name because I've been so confused about the other chicks name because it sounded like sometime else's name but now what?

I don't give the guy the piece but I don't have the items but I don't end the game with being Bos succesor so what ending do I get? What happens now? I feel like over been thrown through some loop or catfished because I've never even heard the name Fang Lao until now.

I have no ambition or desire to follow through because im being confused.

Fuck this in starting over and deleting this. With this and other things in life I refuse this. Reality just basically shifted and im going to get hit with comments and what guide were you reading and that's always been what you do with Fang and the docks were wherever. I might even check if i took any screenshots because this is beyond insane.

Im so confused. I've read this over and over again. For a couple weeks now. I've watched other videos and read other guides. Who the fuck is Fang?

Update: it's over. After I couldn't count how many tried for hours upon hours I finally did it and only because I lucked out timing my menu because I didn't have any more healimg quick selected. Fuck that bitch

Im looking, well at this point for a cheese, because ask the so called builds and videos are a joke.

She makes Gonglan look like a mini boss then after spending 2 days fighting her I find out there's a second form now I can't even beat the first form.

I've best every souls game there is and souls likes and honestly this is some solid bullshit.

Clashing is a joke because at 300 Poise defense she breaks it in one hit, I go got fishing damage, damage doesn't change, she doesn't stagger when hit with a heavy from behind, and God forbid a single combo hits you not to mention the long list of 1 got kill moves at 1300 HP.

Parrying is a joke because you still take damage and it just gives get the perfect chance to break your poise rather than help you.

My average attempt now after giving up according to my stopwatch last less than a second and that's with me fighting back. Burn, leech, blight, consumables, magic. All just nothing like the next she's not even the last boss. It says I get the bad ending if I skip get but I've progressed everyone's storyline in the area so I don't see how.

Like im so mad if I had a gun and no kids I would've riddled the PS5 and tv with bullets and called it a win. Last night I thought I was going to have a stroke or burst a blood vessel. My stamina is 145 and im level 58.

That should be enough. The general was nothing. Gonglan took maybe 3 hours.

But this right here. This is prenerf Consort Radahn except with him you could actually attack or didn't his attacks she just changes animation to another stack of you do manage to dodge it mid combo. Must be nice to do some shit like that

So this is just as strange as it gets. The thing is this isn't even a new house we've been here for 2 years but it was my dad's house. I never met him and I don't own it yet but I will one day but he was a murderer and just not a good guy.

Anyways reason for bringing that up. Not really any weird things going on minus a few specific moments but there is one thing that has become a major issue for us.

Any brand of battery, whether rechargeable, brand new, high cost brand, knock off brand, just literally any batter triple As to double As die after one use in any remote in the house. This has turned into a giant collection of batteries and has only started within the past 6 months but I've had to resort to downloading apps on my phone to be the remote for every tv in the house but it can't turn any of them on and these new style TVs don't have power buttons.

I just can't explain it. There's no corrosion, no damage, nothing has changed, this house isn't very humid, I mean it's even been winter and cold for a while, but its an endless cycle. The rechargeable ones if you recharge them to full and put them in a remote it'll do one thing or work.for about 60 seconds then its completely depleted. Every now and then I can turn the TVs on by cycling through about 50 triple As before it just happens but I can't explain or figure this one out and this is turning into an expensive thing. I mean it's getting to the point of just getting rid of every tv, which we wouldn't do because outside of gaming on them my daughter is 9 and im 35. We just watch TV and I feel that's pretty normal but this shit is not normal.

Anyone have any idea what it could be? Different brands, different brand remote, different brand TVs, different brand batteries. No aquariums in house, no magnets other than like 2 little fridge ones that never move. This is just crazy man. I've never gone through anything like it it's so weird and more annoying than anything. At this point I feel like there's something sucking the energy out of them I just honestly have no idea.
