This may get buried however I’m going to drop a PSA about this boss right here as a result of whereas this isn’t a nicesport, it’s a enjoyable one for what it’s. No it’s not as in depth as Elden Ring or Nioh, kinda looks like a 360 period sport but it surely’s good enjoyable, truthfully really not difficult after the primary few missions. Kinda like they put the sport in reverse order. And that’s contemplating the large issue drop that courts instantly after the primary boss.
That being mentioned, spoiler for in the event you don’t wish to know beat the primary bossthe second section of the boss solely requires you to chip his well being down perhaps a 1/4 to win routinely!!! The sport did a nasty job of displaying it, however you’ll hear a voice line about utilizing some energy of 5 or one thing and it’ll immediate you to press Y and X collectively for a particular transfer. This ends the struggle instantly. I actually didn’t know this and beat the boss with out so it’s potential however truthfully most troublesome struggle within the sport. Principally since you’re not but used to the mechanics at this level and solely have two well being potions
Now for some pointers for taking up this boss in addition to the remainder of the sport: your energetic frames in deflecting efficiently are primarily based in your gear weight. This sport might be cheesed huge time by having your weight as A scale, which is dictated by the numbers being coloured Blue. This makes a vastly noticeable distinction within the window your deflect will set off from hitting the button to take action. Nearly let’s you fireplace and overlook because the enemy strikes into your motion already being executed. On prime of this, all weapon courses have a wide range of deflect issue stats, which dictate how a lot spirit is misplaced on lacking a deflect with that weapon and efficiently hitting a deflect with the weapon. Increased the %, the extra spirit you achieve by deflecting however the extra you’ll lose by being hit by a important or how a lot a missed deflect will scale back your spirit. That is very highly effective when considered together with your gear weight scaling and damages, particularly in the event you take the time to pair stat bonuses on gear items like spirit achieve when attacking + and different such bonuses.
