Don't need to try more than a couple of times (and even in those I get Wolf killed deliberately if I take damage), since the game's pretty easy :hah:
It's mostly trial and error in all From Software games. Figuring out the best route, boss patterns. Dealing with regular enemy mobs is easier here, as you can stealth them. They generally go down in 2 hits (or 1 if you do a perfect deflection).
7+ mins on Gyoubu?
You failed to pull this off not twice now, but thrice. Please resurrect again. :hah:
Deliberately spent more time and gave him the opportunity to take away my health. But, alas, no dice.
, and then barely surviving with a tiny bit of health remaining lol.Nah, in the Tenzen and Gyoubu's boss fight videos, I was totally spamming the block button during strikes. Outside of that, I had it held down to recover the posture gauge. The game is just so safe, and it's really easy to play it safe thanks to the block button and infinite stamina. In Bloodborne, I'd have a harder time doing the same due to the limited stamina gauge and the inability to block.
My aim wasn't like yours to die endlessly so I could record a "no dmg" video. If I were to do it, it certainly wouldn't take me an awful 7+ mins :hah: (That's more than I spent on Gyoubu and in a painfully slow paced game against Amydgdala combined lol)It's certainly better than taking a hit less than 20 secs into the fight, and then proceeding to use up all available healing gourds (that too when you have 3 of them :hah
Again there was no spamming like in your original claim/video lol
Didnt notice lolCerebralTiger said:
WOAHHHHHHH.... You didnt take a single hit from the boss dude. Impeccable !!!
If you want to believe I did endless retries, it's fine by me. Just that there hasn't been a lot of time between me posting the last video with Tenzen and this one with Gyoubu.
Hard to see visually, and plus I wasn't tapping the button all the time; only when the enemy attacked. Most of the time I had block held in order to recover the posture gauge.
What may apply to Orphan of Kos may not apply to other bosses. Your friend Murvego here didn't even try to take on Watchdog solo. This is their idea of cheesing that boss encounter :hah:
Haha nah man. Can't speak for Necrokiller, but in my case, it's all trial and error. Tap block during enemy strikes, dodge away during enemy grabs, look for a safe opening in their attack patterns, dodge/jump away to recover posture when needed, rinse and repeat. Although I'm still pretty early in my playthrough, this has worked on all bosses so far. Effective use of the dodge/block/deflect combo ensures safety.
That doesn't mean anything really. Reaching Gyoubu after fighting Tenzen takes ~10-20mins maybe.
It absolutely does though lol
I don't know what your definition of cheesing is, but your videos are hardly the most elegant ways of tackling boss encounters :hah:
This discussion about the number of attempts against a boss is useless, as there's no in-game stat for this. Just as there's no way I can prove I got the no-damage win against Gyoubu on my 4th attempt, there's no telling how many times you attempted to take on him before barely getting away with a win
In your second video titled "Bloodborne is too easy", the player takes decent damage from Father Gascoign lol. Definitely not my definition of "too easy".
The whole purpose of that video was to show this boulder exploit. It wasn't meant to be elegant :hah:
Unfortunately, nope. Though if it means anything, I did platinum the game in less than 2 weeks of its release. Less than the time available during a PS+ trialNo videos for those accomplishments? I guess we'll never know
PowerPyx's videos aren't meant as an exhibition of skill. He focuses on easy and effective exploits that make it easy for others to follow. His guides are ultimately about achieving the platinum trophy.Look at that damage
Unfortunately it doesn't unless you have an actual playtime stat. Even then, without viewing how you play the game, 2 weeks could be a long time just like the 7+ mins on your Gyoubu boss fight attempt lol
It's his first attempt and he is way over-leveled lol
The gun parry doesn't work on all bosses, though, or at least the timing isn't anywhere near as lenient (Watchdog, for example).
lol @ 7 mins being a long time. It wasn't a speed run. The aim was to play it safe, and demonstrate how the game lets you do so.
He was wielding a hunter axe while you were using a saw cleaver. That alone accounts for a significant difference in damage. Also, he was level 73. What level were you when you faced Amy? It doesn't say so in your video
Maybe not all, but just these :hah:
It's a very long time. Speed run is one end of the spectrum and your video is the other. Both might require cheesing/exploits depending on what you're aiming to do. I got bored 2 mins into your video lol
Much faster than your strategy. Didn't record so I don't know the exact figure.
More than 10 levels below him lolAlso, he was level 73. What level were you when you faced Amy? It doesn't say so in your video
So, not the game's more challenging bosses like the defiled chalice dungeon Watchdog or Laurence. There you have it
lol it didn't need to be short. It needed to be safe to support my argument.
Amygdala isn't there yet I beat her on the first attempt lol. The chained ogre you found a worthy fight, you never spammed block/deflect. There you have itSo, not the game's more challenging bosses like the defiled chalice dungeon Watchdog or Laurence. There you have it
Oh, the denial is setting in already. Lets make it more interesting then? What happens when I show you the stat window in the full video I found in the PS4 gallery? :tv:
Amy is one of the easiest bosses in the game, though
lol seen this long ago. What you see there isn't an easy task. There's no gun parry to spam and no guard to keep you safe. Try it sometime
The same amount of time it took for me to beat Chained Ogre, a far more worthy opponent than that loudmouth on a horse with cringe-worthy dialogues who wastes a majority of the time riding around in circles
Let's make it even more interesting by sharing that video of how you obliterated Chained Orge unscathed in less than 2 mins, as opposed to me doing the same in less than 3 :hah:
Funny that you stick to that defense but thought I had over-levelled when you saw the video and went into denial when I told you I was >10 levels lower than your cheesing mentor Powerpyx: "Guide to beating one of the easiest boss in the game - Over level the fuck out of your character" :tv:Amy is one of the easiest bosses in the game, though
And yet, all you have to do is let him bark like an idiot and waste his breadth, go for attack and move back. Infinite stamina abuse. Looks piss easy to me.
To record a "no damage run" and deliberately die if I take a hit? It's not like I don't know the games mechanics. For someone who has finished the game, I know this is pure pure pure boredom. No thanksTry it sometime
Lets make it even more interesting by you recording a video destroying him in less than 2 mins using your guaranteed safety approach which you forgot as soon as you saw him :hah:
God Necro you are really selling me with these ultrawide screenshots. Any idea about the cheapest good quality one with freesync support?Really nice upgrades to the engine all around. Game looks gorgeous.
LG has good IPS ultrawides in all price brackets. Couple of notes to keep in mind:

You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.iampasha said:
