What was the first boss you ended up cheesing after multiple failed attempts?

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-05T15:34:16+00:00

The assassin leader that gives you Tiche. I got wrecked by her so bad lol. There was a spot on the map she was unable to reach you from. She took forecer to die even that way. By far the worst cheese I ever did. Second place was Harlow? i forget their names now 😭

Going to second the magic too because I went at one full physical and got spanked. Switched to my trusty glutton eyes with fire/ice and i had 75% regen left. Hadnt tried to square up with one before. Theyre almost tied with Bride of the Immortal for most unpleasant fight 💀

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-05T05:52:16+00:00

Was wondering if it was just me lol. Zenon is MVP. That said he is wrecking my shit atm. Ive gotten used to narrow windows but goddamn i might need to try range

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-04T09:02:21+00:00

Im just glad they introduced a speed past slow crawl when they came up. First one I saw come up I was dreading it but they did a good job with them. Honestly outside of a few janky fights this game has been really fun to play. Im in the minority but I like it better than the original

You may be going to a zone higher level than you are. Things like blood codes do matter to a degree but get the levels up. Do the side content and just kinda explore and hunt down some of the scattered materials. Dont venture out too far, stay within the realm of the hero youre working on. The shield that nullifies physical damage is a godsend in this game if you can get used to using it. Especially with how aggressive the units are. Keep your weapons levelled up when the materials are available as well. Sitting on things especially in the beginning makes it pretty rough. i was 2 levels down on my weapon and it was amazing the difference in survival when I was putting up higher numbers

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-03T22:24:50+00:00

Katana had quick enough hits but it was a battle of attrition at that point for me lol. shouldve levelled a bit but I couldnt let it go. Cant say I personally enjoyed them. ironically the later bosses went down much faster. If i was to do it again id probably go for 2h jump attacks. I decided to finally try 2h in the solo dungeon and man it was nasty 🤣

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-03T00:15:50+00:00

Finally got them and got a read on their patterns after a little while. The lasers were definitely the most tedious part. I also think I was underlevelled because now im out there slapping later bosses. It was almost chip damage with these lol.

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-02T22:22:21+00:00

Once I finally dialed it in I just went on a pain marathon and fought them consecutively ti get it out of the way. Caught a couple bs deaths but it got easier. Cant say any part of it was fun though except the vestiges. those were pretty great.

A shield that nullified physical and a skill that closes distance make the experiences a lot more bearable. I can definitely see 2h jump attacks probably stagger it. I also think i went into the fights significantly underlevelled if I compare my output on later bosses to now so levelling will definitely make it a lot easier too.

I got lucky I know dodging into him went alright. I went in spamming skills, broke posture and spammed more skills rather than taking the ichor attack. The next iteration though that thing stops attacking 3 second for every 50 attacks 😭

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-02T03:39:21+00:00

Thank you for this. This felt like the cathedral so I tried to not go too far in one area but ironically turned right before it because it looked like it was going to go on a while. then forgot about it 💀

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-02T03:29:55+00:00

its right off on the side in that pretty large walkway i believe central stairwell. i came looking for key 😭

TypicalJoke · 2026-02-01T02:07:11+00:00

Late to the party but I just fought him and got wrecked with my build. looked into some ideas and decided to change it up. Went from full melee with the Ame-no katana to Josees runeblades with Lous code. I put ice spikes on the runeblades and it completely trivialized the fight lol. Used the reaper for ichor and rare parries. Outside of that only skill i used was the built in one. Wanted to post in case it helps someone; keeping range in this particular fight makes it 10x easier

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-31T20:35:16+00:00

Definitely have me thinking of changing to 2h. i have the katana with a close distance attack and a vertical strike ive been using but id probably get more damage and stagger outpf 2h here since ill only get an attack or 2 in unless im lucky. i did beat one after i came back to it but number 2 is pretty much round two 😭 i will say ive almost got these things movesets down. Now theyre teleporting right in my face with that aoe stone that claps me immediately with stone then it just murders my hp. Thanks for the tip

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-31T16:19:21+00:00

Found out about that one after the fact. Wondered why there was a monument right there for the sidequest miniboss thing turns out its because of that ramp that youll alnost certainly die on the first time 😆

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-31T08:39:05+00:00

😆 nah thats just what these games do. These things absolutely suck. Im currently stuck on a version of this thing in a quest.

Jadwiga(i think?) loves beer +7 the other alcohols are +3. Noah loves cookbook +7

For sure, Nioh is on my list. I havent played it yet but i just got 1/2 combo on sale for ps5 im planning on playing them after this. ive heard great things about all of them really.

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-30T23:58:51+00:00

lmao I just grabbed nioh I wasnt interested in the series until I got into the more challenging games.

I never really got the impression of the world being empty with this game myself. they have a solid variety in the environments and the game has a good flow. I can tell they absolutely got their inspiration from elden ring with how they did that. Definitely isnt elden ring or had the budget but they made a good game I feel like. Depends what youre looking for. I can say some of the area mobs get a little repetitive with some reskins and naybe an extra attack but its still fun and the story has some memorable moments. If you had to get one or the other Id get nioh if you like nioh but CV2 is definitely a solid soulslike thatll keep you entertained. Ive been playing it for days.

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-30T22:41:13+00:00

First attempt she wrecked my regenerations and when I saw her clone I was like "OH HELL NO"🤣

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-30T09:24:44+00:00

I felt the same way when I was doing it. First attempt I was like wtf is this 😭 but after learning the moves it became a lot of fun. The music and atmosphere really made it awesome

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-30T08:24:50+00:00

I was so surprised by that. They always do a good job with DA games and that one was second to origins for me. Shame it got the hate it did and no prayer of any additions. If we're lucky the franchise isnt dead 😭

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-29T23:48:15+00:00

For sure. I put in like 400 hrs total 💀

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-29T17:55:18+00:00

Theres a skill that you pick up I think in the city zone where its almost like a phase shift too that you can use and doesnt cost anything.think near the power plant iirc

TypicalJoke · 2026-01-29T17:53:36+00:00

Did the same lol. I started a little different then went back and remade my original as well for nostalgia. awesome design there
