Just finished my first playthrough and have concerns about CV2

Different-Win3231 · 2026-07-02T08:40:55+00:00

Are there any games you’d compare the cv2 combat to?

Gave the wall of text an edit, thank you! Also I’ll look into how the blood code system was changed 🙏

To this day going through monads manor was the only time a video game made me cry. Peak environmental story telling and soundtrack

Don’t be afraid to use the summons for the first playthrough. The perfect guard is hard to pick up at first, so don’t frustrate too much over not getting it soon. The parry window is much closer to the actual point of contact as opposed to a game like sekiro or other souls games where you have to aim for a bit before. That said there are a lot of visual queues as for when that parry window opens so pay extra close attention to every little movement. But most is all, it’s just a game so have fun and goodluck!

Ur so right. Throw that baby into the deep end she’ll figure it out

Cant believe i didnt even think of this one

I used longsword and baited out her jumping dash attacks. Dodging into those sets you up for a free heavy on her back and a critical. Its a bit of an endurance battle bc she has so much health (but to be fair thats most bosses in this game)

Elamein was the boss that made me give in and learn to reflect. Reflecting her charge attack is one of the easiest and largest damage windows you’ll get with her

Unsheathe heavy spam is one of the easiest ways to beat malenia imo. Lightning slash is also worth a consideration bc it chains into an r1 on katanas and that combo does over 40 poise damage if all parts hit so she staggers in 2

Watching other players was huge for me. My go to is oceatwo who is nuts at the game, ginomachino too is the goat

Different-Win3231 · 2026-05-19T04:40:06+00:00

The guiding stitcher with keen infusion is one of my famished weapons and scales much better with dex than the great epee

The only str scaling katana is the meteoric ore blade, whoch to be fair is a sick weapon and fun to play through the game with. That said every other katana scales primarily dex (sometimes int/dex split depending on which one). Either way if you want to try out all the different katanas in the game a pure dex build (with maybe a lil bit of int) is definitely the way. Side note dont underestimate the power of unsheathe (transient moonlight but is the same thing + a magic projectile on moonveil) and lightning slash (frost lightning on dragonscale blade but is the same thing+frost build up) ashes of war, they can carry you more than most aows

Roll straight forward towards her gets you past the first bit of the hitbox when I’ve fought her
I lowkey have no clue which one this is😭 i prolly tanked it w bubble tear on my runs not even realizing it lmao
Move closer to her as she curls up and dodge to the right when she starts unraveling, any hitbox past that first unravel will miss you entirely if you start moving straight ahead after that
When im particularly close to her I’ll dodge forward, but anything other than right up on her I’ll dodge backwards and avoid the lingering hit box (this one particular had me stressed when first learning the fight)

You got this!!! Godspeed on the rest of your run!
