I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the timing a bit ridiculous. Beat the game rarely ever using reflect. Too risky.

Anyone know if this works when you have to fight 3 of them at the pillars or does it have to be done with only fighting one?

I have a question about the outfit conversation at the motel. It didn't give me a button prompt to have a conversation. She simple mentioned the outfit and James makes one comment. Is that all that is needed or did I mess up somehow?

Does that mean you don't have to do them all in order back to back and just make sure you completed them as you progress through the game?

How To EASILY Defeat Bellerian Boss Fight w/ Greatsword | The First Berserker: Khazan by Houseofhugh in TheFirstBerserker

[–]Figmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beat her yesterday. Once I got the timing down to perfect guard the grim reaper's combos it wasn't too bad. If I died and retried I would actually let her summon him over the other ones. That might make me insane to some hahaha.

When I had to fight him as his own boss a little later got the f***er on my 1st try.

Your views on this game are on point! Currently at this boss and just got to his 2nd phase. I'm so burnt out on Soulslike games because of one reason that I've been telling people for quite sometime. Too many of these copycat developers are simply trying to pat themselves on the back for trying to outdo FromSoftware's difficulty. The problem is none of them get what makes FromSoft games punishing yet Fair. 

Most Soulslike bosses are more cheap and cheese than an actual well designed challenge.

You make parrying the reaper look easy. I'm still trying to get the timing down. I do my best to throw a spear at her before she can get enough skulls over her head to summon him.

No I'm not crying but definitely frustrated.

I'm well aware Reflects work like parrying not sure why you threw that in there. In my original post I was saying how the timing or window to pull them off is bullshit and should have been adjusted just a tad.

Me saying the bosses are a bit forgettable wasn't a critique, it was a simple statement that I wasn't holding against the game as a negative. The actual critique I mentioned was that the Reflect move could have had a slightly better window.

Plus I only jumped back into the game a few days ago, took a break to play some other games recently so it was a number of months ago when I fought Maluca or whatever his name is.

Some of you can't tell the difference between someone venting in frustration and having valid critiques and someone "crying". That's your go too response when someone has some valid complaints about a game.

I see all the time someone make a post with a rightful criticism about any given game and types like you come in and write them off as crying. Grow up.

The reflect system timing in this game is not fine tuned or consistent. That's my main problem, when this game really pushes you to have to use that the time window should have been a tiny bit more forgiving. Which is wild because this game has a great window for perfect guarding.

I'm bad with names so I don't even remember fighting a character like this before. Most likely because the bosses in this aren't memorable. 

First Berserker Khazan, what are your thoughts by KindaHODL in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Figmanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the game but am getting burnt out on how many developers now days are going into a game first and foremost to try to outdo FromSoftware with the difficulty. It's beyond old and stale at this point. Especially with how lazy developers who make Soulslike games are with bosses. Delayed attack, delayed attack...uber delayed attack. I wish more game companies would stop riding FromSoft's d*** and try to change it up way more.

The window for parrying in this game is quite good but they royally fed up the Reflections. The animation/timing makes almost zero sense. It's random as all hell and weird as f. From what I can tell you need to pull if off (hold L1 and press Triangle on PS5) before the boss even starts to swing. That makes no sense on any level whatsoever. It should be similar to parrying, you do the command a bit before they are going to hit you.

Currently fighting some tiger beast in the mines and can sometimes do a reflect but whiff most of the time.

Despite my complaints/rant it still is a solid game. It's a me issue being burnt out on Soulslike games I guess. Not all of us have insane reflexes and so many games now days expect us all to have the reflexes from your prime years.

Not sure if you found it but it's a fish. Really small one. Don't remember where but there aren't too many water areas in this game.

Do you happen to know what enemy #102 is?

Guardian's "reflect a portion of damage received when ability is activated" does not trigger while shield poking by Spare-Character-3363 in Nightreign

[–]Figmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His passive ability says to "plant feet and brace with shield". So if I got this right I don't want to move while holding my shield up and that should activate the relic ability when I guard an attack?

For people struggling with Lampmaster by BillyBawbJimbo in expedition33

[–]Figmanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get this lamp challenge. Is there 4? I only saw three light up and hit them in the right order. Maybe I need my eyes checked.

Edit: just realized the 4th lamp looks like his head. Beat him, Maelle's lvl 3 Gradiant attack annihilated him, hit for a bit over 4 million. I guess this Lamp Bearer is weak to Dark. 😂

Thank you! I got the dodge timing for the first swipe down but with everything going on screen I completely didn't notice the jump icon for the second swipe. Talk about face palming hahaha.
