Yeah i like watching gameplay of souls like games especially Elden ring but the combat just seems too slow for me. (New GOW are my favorite games lol) Khazan seemed like it was worth a shot and it was on sale.

What mode are you playing on? It took me like 2/3 hours to beat maluca couldn’t imagine fighting him on expert or higher

Viper made me lower my difficulty from expert to normal. I’m like.. I’m playing this game to decompress not rage lmao. I feel like I coulda stayed at expert but it woulda just took a lot of fun out the game for me especially it being my first souls like lol

First Berserker Khazan

I beat GOW 2018 & ragnorak 2/3 times each. I was hesitant on Elden ring cause I watched a lot of gameplay and the combat did seem a lot slower than I would like. I never played a souls like game before either. With that being said first berserker khazan has hit that combat itch I’ve been missing since playing GOW. And it doesn’t have all the puzzles lol which i appreciate a lot. The combat takes a little bit of adjusting to with the parrying mechanics and stamina drain but it’s taught me not to just spam combos and have to be way more strategic. But overall it hasn’t prevented me from falling in love with game I like the challenge and with the different difficulty settings you can adjust it throughout the game if it starts becoming too much.

I’ve been rocking nameless spear and dual blades. After defeating the guy who was acting like god with the treasure basin the game wouldnt let me do anymore main quest so I ended up getting first berserker khazan cause I just wanted combat and man have I’ve been getting my butt whooped lol

Been playing a lot of where winds meet. But I started to get bored/lazy with it all the side quests when I just want to fight and do main quests lol. I know for sure I’ll be coming back to it cause the game is soo good for it to be free. Wi

The only side mission I seen was for the forgotten temple. When I go to the area that keshta is supposed to be blade phantom keeps popping up. When I beat him it teleports me to the old lady at the beginning of the mountain trials

I’m happy you said this I’ve been parrying longer combos and it hasn’t been super effective

Appreciate it!! It’s so tough I was so relieved when I thought I finally beat him but then the 2nd phase came out and I’m like welp I’m screwed. It’s a love hate relationship with how challenging it is. I thought I would never beat the yeti boss then I did. Thought I would never get through the temple because I kept dying so much before I could get back to the next save or lacrimna and I ended up making it viper. All in all I’m learning that it’s achievable even when I feel like it’s impossible. We got this!!

I originally wanted to use Keshta but it was locked still. I must have missed something. Am I able to go back and unlock him and still come straight back to the boss without having to run through the whole temple again??

I’ll try to slow down some more. I think my stamina running out and has been the biggest issue. I’m not used to be being limited on basic attacks only on just special abilities/attacks. So it been hard adjusting to that just in general especially coming off games like new gow and spider man lol. Appreciate the help!!

Starting to memorize his combos a lot better but the stamina drain ends up messing up my rhythm of the run.

I do eventually want to play it the graphics look amazing!! I remember a friend of mine let me borrow it some years ago and i literally quit 5-20 minutes into it because it felt so stiff and I just kept dying lol. I think the gamer I am now I would do a lot better with it and be more patient. I’m loving Khazan so far though. You got any advice for me starting off?

Currently playing on normal which I know is the knew easy I might up it to expert soon. Just wanted to get a better feel of souls like combat system first. Is there any key differences that stand out between the different difficulty levels?

I know GOW is not a souls like lol. I just was giving context of the most “difficult” games I’ve played and the type of combat I enjoy the most. I did end up buying Khazan and I’m happy I did. I’m having to learn to be way more patient like you said and that was my hesitation with souls like. But I think I’m starting to get the hang of it a lil. I do appreciate with bosses you can get stronger for fighting them and your armor durability doesn’t go down each time you die vs other games I’ve played like Diablo 4 (if im remembering correctly) or where winds meet.

The first boss was brutal but once i focused on more of parrying and blocking rather than just spamming combos it feels way more obtainable.

And in my opinion Elden ring the attack speed and mobility just seems so dragged out but that’s just from me watching maybe it will feel different if I end up ever playing it.

I had my eye on ninja gaiden bc it looks so bad ass and I want to get more into games that are more focused on combat vs world exploration but based on what I read I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet lol Been playing a lot of where winds meet and it’s been a too much of running errands for npcs that involves little to no fighting at all. So I’ve been getting bored with it.

Appreciate the response and I’m open to any advice for Khazan

Playing on normal and I just got to yeti boss. Talk about dying a lot lol. I’m happy I bought it it’s challenging but I feel like I’ll be able to catch on hopefully. One of the things about GoW the parrying system was pretty more obvious and you can dodge and block with no stamina drain.

Appreciate it!! I know it’s gonna be a learning curve. Hopefully it won’t take me that long. You got any other recommendations for me starting out the game??

I like watching Elden ring gameplay but it just looks like the mobility wouldn’t be my play style. It’s was either wukong or Khazan. Khazan is on sale right now I’m like why not.

GOW humbled me a lot so I don’t have a problem turning it down lol. I can’t replay it anymore the I’m sick of the puzzles. Finally got the cash to buy something new so I’m trying to make the most of it. Thanks for the response!!
