The gameplay was super tight. There were a lot of things that felt unfair... but it really was a skill issue most of the time even though Hong Lan took me 3 hours (I didn't know what Tempering was or how skyborn might fully worked at the time).

It seems like there's a lot of ways to play the game which I appreciated a lot too. I feel like I cheesed most of the game as well using only Darkfrost Edge: magic a lot of stuff. And then learned double kick and stayed max madness and spam that with Evasive (Which lets you link the 2nd kick that does a shit ton of circle damage. or just chips away if an enemy can't be backstabbed/poise stabbed/whatever it's called). For certain bosses yeah, it took forever. But evasive maneuver felt extremely op since it was instant (and let you dodge for like 3 seconds with the sheng upgrade) whereas I was getting hit sometimes during or after casting Ethereal Form. And I don't think I found much of any posts relying on double kick most of the game like I did. So it kind of felt funny just keeping up through the game personally with just feet (even though demon of obsession feet hurt way harder).

Lastly, the art, design, and music are all gorgeous and I think I'm going to pre-order the Vinyl now since the ending song sold me on all the songs (since I barely focused throughout the game and focused more on staying alive).

Only thing I really wish this game had were pre-sets to switch through since I didn't feel like changing my armor unless I really had to. And barely reset my build (and if I did, it was just to test a few small stuff).

Title. I'm doing that thing were I try and grab every weapon, armour piece, spell, etc etc on a single character - or in this case a single save file. I accidentally stumbled into the Jarful of Medicine ending on my first playthrough (go figure, right?) So I decided that on my next playthrough I was gonna go for the other bad ending: Successor of Bo.

Slight problem. I need He Youzai to die so I can get his armor, but I've foolishly been doing his quest because I wasn't thinking about it. But I've read that he can still die if you don't talk to him at Reverant Temple in act 4, then kill the dragon emperor and come back during act 5.

So. Is it possible for me to quickly smite the dragon emperor, grab the armor set, and THEN go kill Bo Magus and get her ending, even though I'm in act 5?

Absolutely worst boss designs in any souls like games. Level designs and general gameplay is great but oh boy boss designs are awful. Bosses hit so hard that armor is just cosmetic. Perfect bride is literally killing me before I can touch her. I can dodge like 10 attacks and still can't even get a single hit in. Malenia in Elden Ring is child's play compared to this cr*p. At least she's a fair fight.

Just need to let my frustration out somewhere.

She was truly beating my ass, I guess I had become very reliant on being able to knock her down and I thought I had a good understanding of her moveset from the previous fights leading up to the Bo Capital. But I guess not lol, definitely died to her the most out of all the bosses in the game.

just wondering what’s the combos I should be doing with it I’m a little confused with the bold heart mechanic and how I should cycle my combos. I also have solar leap on it

Ok finished my first playthrough, glad I gave the game another shot past GarboMistress cause most of the game is pristine af baring some flaws we can gladly forget for a young studio.

So I'm in love with the Axe, gonna do the NG+ with it again. I tried to not abuse Rampage first playthrough because it's kinda OP, but won't refrain for NG+

The question: I noticed sometimes enemy getting CCed and sometimes not, I'm not talking about the posture break but things like : flattening, sending them fly.

Aside from obvious reasons like clashes and specific animations. Is there a reason for mobs (& humanoid bosses sometimes) to "resist" a CC ? Mechanic ? Hidden one ?

Thanks for the insight.

Alright. So this chick is rough. I’m a dual swords build, and I’m trying to run the marsh over and over to get mercury, so I can get stronger and beat her more easily. However I’ve exhausted all the agility in the dual swords tree, and all the endurance and vitality. I’ve been putting points in the utility tree, but I’m still getting morderes too quickly. Is it worth putting points in the spear tree for more agility? I’m a little lost here. Help.

I have played every souls like there is and this is the only game that gave me a sense of discovery like dark souls. I played dark souls back when it originally came out and have been looking for that feeling since..I adore this game. Dark souls was never really that hard that wasn't the point the bosses felt hard but achievable. Not the crazy combos with close to zero punish windows of Elden Ring. Also enemies IN BETWEEN bosses could actually kill you, Stamina actually mattered, Wuchang nailed all of it. It has flaws but so did Dark Souls. They nailed the dark fantasy aspect. Just wow what a phenomenal game.

On my 4th Playthrough and holy shit she fucking strong asf can’t beat her with the Axe anymore without running out of stamina. Try the dual blade do good but she always killed me when her health is low even with the axe lol. Maxed out everything got the stamina pendent doesn’t even help at all. Need two more achievements to beat this game trying to get the Good Ending lol

I feel like maybe I am playing wrong. I really feel I’m dying to bullshit. I feel like I’m fighting the game more than the enemies. Everything the PC does is sooooo slow. The basic movement is slow af, the sprint is no better. Pick up animations are super slow. Want to pick up your souls at the last enemy that killed you? Good luck because for some reason this game has two sprint buttons and one of them is on the pick up button for some reason.

Half the time I try to dodge through an enemy attack she actually dodges INTO the enemy and stops then takes the attack. Which is real bad because once you get hit it’s pretty much over. I have no block or parry and the one spell I have requires a ton of distance otherwise I’m getting hit, the spell doesn’t go off and I waste my skyborn charge or whatever it’s called. The dodge doesn’t feel good. The enemies are so aggressive I’m spending all my stamina just trying not to get hit.

I know you’re supposed to dodge forward or to the side, not backward but it really hasn’t helped. I really want to like this game but it just feels off when playing.

Is there some mechanic I’m missing? Do I just need to get farther into the skill tree? Is it really just a skill issue?

For reference I’ve beaten all 3 dark souls while getting the plat for 3. I got plat on bloodborne and Elden Ring, beat sekiro with the sword Saint isshin final battle. I haven’t beat Khazan yet but it’s not giving me issues, it’s actually probably the easiest of the souls likes I’ve played. Am I just shit at this game???

Is it possible to skip the boss - south general Liu Wenxiu on console ? Ive heard it’s possible on pc by using out of bounds glitches but I’m not 100% sure if the same route can be done on console

I will undoubtedly fight him eventually, just curious if the skip is indeed possible

Had a blast with the game.

Coming to Mistress with a pure bruteforce melee build.

Tried some brute force.

Rerolled spell and one shotted her ass because it was either that or die of boredom chasing her.

Not sure I want to invest more time if the next bosses are this badly designed.

Please tell me the following ones are better than this, how can a boss this bad had avoided QA with how good the game is until that point.

I loved the game so far because even tho it's obvious it's made around dodge and shimmer, it still allowed emergent gameplay as most of the good souls do. But wtf did they smoke with this one ? She's not even hard, requiring some hard timing or focus, it's just either a loot pinata if you're ranged or randomly jumping and doing 240° animations between punish windows. I think that's the first boss I ever saw cast spells with ITS BACK.
