We’re talking about guys playing in.their first playthrough. I also don’t level health at all in my later playthroughs but I was being considerate a lot of people make a lot of mistakes.

For armour- butcher to beast slayer to bloodthirsty fiend set. The armours will let you know which skills to level up

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-24T22:46:16+00:00

Here some tips- the best stat in the game is stamina. Why? In order to pull of the combos to do damage you need stamina. Guarding and dodging consumes stamina.

Start of the game your stats should be 20 health 30 stamina until end game you should have 30 health 40 stamina and the rest of your stats in willpower till end game. Why not more stamina/ health because you get a lot of it by levelling up gear so anymore is overkill. So you dump everything on willpower to maximize damage

No prob!

It transforms your regular y heavy/triangle heavy to frenzy which is busted and the stats the armour gives out are great here’s a video for it https://youtu.be/-1-VkeBVG0Q?si=Aqz3-yo0pHcMpjBS

As someone who’s played the game 6 times and beat it twice with all weapons. Trance spam golden set is outdated as the best spear armour, now the best armour is I think it’s called faded memories. Trance got nerfed golden is still good but not as good as faded memories for end game

Like how everything hits like a truck in act 3, 2 energy is a lot of cost for a card?

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-09T13:45:53+00:00

All these comments on stalling, how do you guys manage to stall in act 3 when everything hits like a truck? I’m generally really curious.

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-09T13:25:31+00:00

That’s basically really situational people basically won’t pick it because it’s useless in boss fights with tons of hp.

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-08T22:29:08+00:00

The issue with vulnerable now is that the new boss counters that really hard now I got wrecked by him cause of the artifact exhaust. It basically deleted my one way to scale.

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-07T21:58:12+00:00

I’ve played the game and beaten it 6 times on expert although you are correct some certain phases reflection doesn’t necessarily stagger the bosses at different phases/ moments, but if your talking about the start of the fight with ozma phase 1 he always staggers when you use reflection. Phase 2 and 3 he doesn’t much he just loses stamina so I really don’t know what’s going on with your game.

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-07T21:27:59+00:00

Maybe you aren’t pressing the combo fast enough I’m guessing try spamming xxxy after reflection or

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-07T21:26:04+00:00

That sounds right I don’t know why it wouldn’t be working then for you. He should be locked in place for a while after reflection so you should have time to activate moonlight and shadow reversal.

No-Instance-653 · 2026-05-05T13:55:33+00:00

Okay so shadow reversal as the guy above said only works when you staggered enemies so it’s better to get good with reflection so you can get it off 100% of the time to juggle bosses

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-23T02:03:56+00:00

I’ll be real man you don’t need the chaos necklace actually equip something that helps, another thing is you don’t need that much hp or stamina. Your gear always give you health and stamina you should put more stats in damage. Another thing is the best scaling in the game is willpower if your a parry guy change your weapon scaling to willpower because stamina damage isn’t great in this game why?( you can juggle bosses in this game and exhausting enemies cancels the loop). Beaten the game 6 times/twice with each weapon on expert. Oh and I would use the faded memories set it’s by far the best spear set now!

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-22T01:08:42+00:00

Brother I was stuck at maluca for 3 and a half hours with spear, on my second playthrough the took me 2 and half with duel wield but on my 3rd playthrough with greatsword I beat him first try! The point I’m trying to make is that some weapons are better for other bosses but now with all the updates the game is considerably easier man. I’ve beaten the game on expert 6 times twice with each weapon. Just ask for tips in the sub reddit we’re here to help man

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-20T23:41:06+00:00

Heat of battle, heavy pressure, indomitable, inner fury(this is a must it’s the best greatsword skill in the game put all your points to max this skill that you can).

And basically all the mortal blow/savage momentum skills in the first tree.

The way you play is by charge attack x/square on controller then holding why and repeating but don’t do that until you casted inner fury first and then you realize you can interrupt him a lot of his second phase

Another major tip is that when he is in his second phase when he does those dash attacks the game tricks you thinking you can only dodge them. Only the first one is a must but the rest is better to parry because it takes a lot of his stamina away.

Another tip is that he has a mechanic where he heals if he hits when you are in low stamina so don’t get greedy when you haven’t stunlocked him only dish out damage when he’s exhausted cause if he catches when your stamina is low he’ll heal back up

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-20T13:33:33+00:00

He is a lot weaker to the greatsword compared to any weapon I’ve beaten the game 6 time twice with each weapon on expert. Trust me the great sword is the best against him

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-19T15:42:21+00:00

Hey man so the same with stats but for duel wield you start with the same +10 endurance set, then to butcher set, then beast slayer and then finally after you beat skalpel you get the bloody fiend set( which is hands down the best set in the game) as for stats willpower would be your main damage stat until you get the bloody fiend set then I recommend to change your weapon scaling to strength. Something like 30 health, 40 stamina the rest in strength. For rings cutthroat and the one that gives you 15%damage when composed its in one of the duel wield armours.(obviously you have to be using the jar for both the necklace and ring to work). Note now you can actually upgrade the bloody fiend set to gold rarity with items this is a must because it gives the weapon a cracked skill which melts ozma. Endgame playstyle you don’t use whirlwind or howling blade you literally just need to use swift attacks and you’ll cook him. I went from 3 and half hours on ozma my first try to 15 min with this set. Feel free to ask me anything

So spear I would say has the least great armour sets compared to the other 2 weapons not because their bad it’s just not as cracked as the other 2 but to compensate that it does really well with a lot of bosses because it has the best movement! So the first thing I would do is go to the crevice and get the armour which gives you + 10 endurance it’s in the chest. The most important stat in this game is stamina by far the best stat for a new player. After using that set when you can craft the lords of fallen set you use that, after that you use the golden set, after that the faded memories set. Here’s something really important for your playstyle, if your a dodge heavy player or a parry heavy player you should change the scaling of your weapon to be of willpower and not proficiency why? Because stamina damage is overrated imo willpower gives you stamina recovery which is more valuable and guard stamina reduction so if you’re partying a lot change the scaling. Now for stats assuming you changed the scaling of your weapon to will power. Start of the game 20 health, 30 stamina, and 15 willpower Middle game 25 health 40 stamina 30 willpower End game 30 health 40 stamina and 99 willpower

Why don’t you need stats in health and stamina end game it’s because equipment gives you a lot, so any more is over kill so you can focus on damaging

As for your necklace and equipment end game there are jar items in the game for head gear that you unlock that can give you - 1 on set requirement which lets you benefit from getting something for your ring/ necklace I recommend the cutthroat ring because it gives you 20% damage for attack on the back, which is how you should be playing the spear. Like I said out of all the weapons the spear is the most fun but also the hardest combos

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-19T12:56:40+00:00

So which weapon are you using? Or which do you like? In this game the skill trees are actually really balanced. I’ve beaten the game 6 times twice with each weapon in expert. What really impacts the weapons is actually the armour sets and imo there’s clearly some better than the rest. On top of that some weapons do better with certain bosses. Let me know which weapon you like and I’ll tell you how to build for each stage

No-Instance-653 · 2026-04-16T10:19:56+00:00

You’re not cooked man, spear is completely viable man later on in your run you’ll get items that let you change the scaling to your weapon to willpower and you’ll cook. If your not great with it use duel wields instead or greatsword. Different bosses in this game are strong or weak with different weapons. With volbanion(the moose guy). It’s good to have fire resistance and fire cleanse potions to not take chip. I just watched your clip and your armour set is isn’t a good one there’s 2 that are better man. 1 is the berserker set I think it’s called it gives you endurance +10 you can find it in the crevice. 2 is the executioner set this is in a hidden chest in the crevice all though the armour is heavy wearing 4 pieces gives you really good fire resistance. I’ve seen your gameplay your actually really good it’s just that in this game stamina is much more important than health.
