Immune to Mind Thaumaturgy.Ī stronger, larger, more aggressive variant of the Ghoul. Creatures NameĪ naked demonspawn who is swift. When it eventually "clicks" it will ruin you for other action rpgs, every fight is filled with an insane amount of tension because the game is so unforgiving and one misstep and I mean literally stepping in the wrong direction/at the wrong time/into the wrong piece of set dressing/tripping over a stool will ruin your day, each regular encounter feels like fighting an invader in Dark Souls.Accessible from Level 4, Level 5 and Level 7.5. You can eventually try to get all fancy by using the crouch key to get a lower attack stance but that shit usually just puts your head right at swing level and that's a bad scene. Oh and SPACE will auto center the camera behind your character's back. Since it's all physics driven, your swings are made more or less effective by the momentum your body is putting into them from directional (WASD) movement. You can do a downward overhead attack by double clicking and holding mouse 1. Attacks are initiated by holding down left mouse to begin a Right to Left swing that if uninterrupted will follow up with a Left to Right swing, you can start your attack with a Left to Right swing (very useful) by moving the cursor to the left of your character click an hold mouse one while moving the cursor back to the right. Also important, BLOCKING/PARRYING is achieved by NOT starting an attack and aiming your cursor (which in turn aims your character) in the direction of the blow.

You just have to adjust to the tank controls and most crucially that THE CHARACTER WILL ALWAYS TURN TO FACE THE CURSOR IN COMBAT MODE this little detail is what allows you fine control over your actions, becomes all about zoning/knowing how to get in and out of range of your weapon and the enemy's weapon, and using feints to get the enemy to fuck up. I spent the first like 2 hours I played this laughing uncontrollably on a stream with a friend, it wasn't until I read through the whole quick start page in the menu that I started wrapping my head around the mechanics. I keep wishing I had quickslots for the torch and switching weapons. The sledgehammer is pretty fun to use if you can sneak up behind someone and do the overhead smash. The handsaw seems to end up being a pretty viable weapon just because of how quick it is. Anyone find any secrets or unusual weapons so far? I've found the compass but that's it.

The update notes seem to imply there's more than one map, but I haven't managed to get past the first one. The campaign is still pretty hard, pretty much because it's so easy to get cornered by multiple enemies. Occasionally, an overhead chop is really devastating against anyone with a shield, but the timing on that is really tricky and leaves you pretty open. With the right timing, I can get most enemies to walk into the second backswing if you hold the left click down. I've established fairly effective strategies for each of the fighters you go up against so far with it. So long as you keep your distance, you can really punish any opening. I've pretty much been using the two handed sword exclusively.

I hope they keep expanding on it, it's pretty neat.

Mid height, top center physique seems to be working really well for me.Īlso, I think this is the first character creator that has let me unintentionally re-create my grandma with such high accuracy. And being max height is such a liability, your legs get hit all the time. I don't really see any advantage to being fat at all? I would have thought it gave you more HP, but if it does it's totally inconsequential compared to getting hit more. I also played around with the physiques, seeing how the different builds stack up.

I've gotten past her.Three times, maybe? She's so zippy and with excellent reach with that sword. And then of course she slices and dices me consistently. Now I'm managing to get all the way to the sword and board redhead without taking any permanent damage. When I got back into it, I thought they must have tweaked the AI's, I was doing so poorly. I've been doing the Arena off and on all evening.
