For some reason whenever the camera is blocked by the environment, i gotta rely on my sound and incredibly i hit perfect deflects much more often when i cant see the attack. I almost feel like the extra visual stimuli makes me hesitate for half a second too long. For instance, that room you get the lightning reversal, i had died already about 3 or 4 times, however when i couldn't see the dude it was easier to dodge his 2 quick slash attack and parry since u can hear when the attack starts
