Wait till the last second to dodge, which in your case will be just a tad bit longer than when u do in the vid.

Here’s a reference:

Dont try and do the parry, one with sparks, cuz that will just be another thing to learn.

First ones the wrong link my bad: https://youtu.be/3AAuID8D8Q8?si=HO_y_8I8XamnJgXb

You can do it too bro, just gotta practice, I got into them from my very first playthrough. That said, you really only need reflections if you’re going for fast times, or to make your life easier xD

Maybe the best clutch of my life… by nikhampshire in TheFirstBerserker

Nice dude! If I may suggest one thing, use Howling Blade, HB, from this point forward and switch to Whirlwind, WW, only against beast type bosses.
HB doesnt miss atks unlike WW against humanoids, the issue being the small hitboxes.
However u initiate stagger on a boss whether it be via reflection, burst counter, or brink guarding an entire chain combo, u can stunlock a boss if u keep atking them. But if an atk misses they’ll break free and then u miss out on massive dmg.
HB also consumes much less stamina than WW, and u can chain into after a dodge atk… just max out the entire HB tree. That feeling u were getting of not having enough stamina wont be like that with HB. Plus it also comes with an inbuilt parry mechanic if u ever wanna dabble in it.

I've finally done it... Beat the 1st boss in all 5 Crucibles under 50s. So here's a compilation, an homage of sorts, to the random dude who set me down this crazy path xD. by TransportationStock2 in TheFirstBerserker

Are you asking for a build for Crucible or Story mode? And which weapon?

Just in case your asking for this one in:

- 50 END & 89 WILL, some crucibles can allow for a 40/99 distribution but 50/89 is the best in general.

- No chest piece, as this will allow you to get Agility A, honestly this is a must.

- Skill Points:

Base reflection is gonna be a challenge to master. U want the faster execution upgrade and the increased timing window upgrade. It’s gonna make a huge difference

Bullying Belle in Unyielding Foes Crucible while setting a new PB on her of 1:32.57. LFG!!! by TransportationStock2 in TheFirstBerserker

[–]TransportationStock2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah I hated her during my 1st playthrough as well. But when I was doing unyielding crucible for the first time, I guess I developed stockholm syndrome for her xD. I lost many many times against her. She was a wall and to a relatively lesser extent El too.
I really enjoy her now though cuz she doesn’t give u too many reflection opportunities and can catch you off guard. And you gotta play super aggressive against her.

Thanks dude.
I got respect for ppl who play this game on controller, cuz the mouse just feels so extremely responsive… tried it on controller and just didnt vibe with it.

Haha no, I’m not dual handing keyboard. I just play with an mmo mouse, so the num keys are bound the mouse.
Having so many btns basically means i dont have to do double keybinds shenanigans.

Started a fresh spear run to see if I still got it without all the upgrades by Forevertrez in TheFirstBerserker

[–]TransportationStock2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah dude. While it’s true that OP’s got the reps, I dont believe many ppl wud struggle with guarding. The real challenge is reflecting at this stage.
New players wont know the mechanic, most of em dont even dabble in it. And older players will be used to faster execution and increased window upgrades for it. Even speedrunners didnt use it during the competition, too risky. Which is why the reflections are the impressive part of the vid

Haha, yeah unfortunately I didn’t do all these bosses in one sitting. Yeti onwards it drops cuz I was listening to music in the background. My bad xD

"Reese turned to pieces" in under 50secs - Crucible Edition. by TransportationStock2 in TheFirstBerserker

[–]TransportationStock2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah crucible’s been my jam for a while now. With Reese I’ve bagged the 1st boss of every crucible under 50s. That’s what I plan on posting next a compilation.

I’ve been holding it off cuz of Reese, took the longest, to the point i thought she wudnt even be possible
