i dont want to imagine how painful it will be to sync each physics entity

its impossible to do that without insaneee lag during pvp since we havent invented instant information transmission yet

Willie is in the edges. Yes, plural - edges. There is a little piece of him on every side of the map.

Sword diff him

Fr

quick spire
#

i feel like as soon as i get armor the danger goes away

jaunty forge
#

Like once u figure out how to use a Longsword

#

U can beat him with Longsword

quick spire
#

actually now that i think about it the main reason why the unarmored tiers are so hard is because i have max player damage, whoops

jaunty forge
#

I like knocked his sword away then slashed him right in the face

warm escarp
#

i always just go for the stab or thrust on the third tier's boss

jaunty forge
#

Hardest has to be Baron challenge fr

warm escarp

as long as yo uget the first hit in, you good..

jaunty forge

😔

U can finish the first three bosses with a knife only

i tripped, hit my head on the wall and fucking broke my neck and lost my entire run at the baron challange

i havent died once before that

Took me like

#

Atleast

#

4-5 hrs

#

With a save file too

quick spire
#

i see

#

i wish i could actually know if im bad or good

#

like i dont think playing with max player damage makes me exactly good

#

what if i just get lucky all the time and the ai isnt as aggressive as it should be

loud river
jaunty forge
#

Just be able to parry

#

And be able to like

#

One shot

quick spire
#

i dont really bother parrying unless i slow down time

jaunty forge

Neck hits, stabs, etc

quick spire

i just wait for a counter attack like a souls player

Parry it fr

try that with max player damage

quick spire

i am not risking a run

But the issue was

It was full on both

#

So I just slash their head open ez pz

quick spire

in my defense i can sometimes parry and i can still counter attack flawlessly

jaunty forge

I usually play both around half

quick spire

if it works it works

jaunty forge

Practice in free mode fr

quick spire

parries never actually get me any kills

And learn polearms

its the counter attacks that do

And polearm twirling

always satisfying to disarm the beggar boss in one quick movement with the candle stick

anyone got a consistent strat for 3rd boss. I can fight the rest just fine. 3rd boss is evil

thrust or counter attack

how can i beat the commoner boss

he swings like a crackhead and outranges me

quick spire

thrust

warm escarp
digital panther

every time i win it's like luck

thrust or counter attack thats just the best that you can do

couuuld parry but its too risky and you'd probably fall over

I wonder if the real swords used during the medieval times were as sharp as in the game? Like a small graze and the enemy bot be having huge slash, losing tons of blood.

There’s only one download

yes

If it says demo, download that

#

i do know that some parts of the body bleed more than others so maybe it's accurate to an extent?

why tf is all bosses's weapons are long range

#

to make them harder

warm void

#

Yea maybe. Aside from the fact it's so easy to cut off the head, front part of the face and other parts like legs, arms and abdomen like literally cutting the bot in half in the game, the bleeding part is the most realistic one I guess

if a boss had a knife they'd be easy as hell

For the begger boss do you have to rely on RNG to get the candle stick? I don't think I've ever seen in, in my many gauntlet runs

there werent any weapons before other than a knife thats like right in front of him, so you didnt really get a chance to grab it, also he made you go unconcious much easier by hitting you with all attacks

they nerfed the first boss, but will they nerf baron and make the weapons the willies spawn with set instead of random?

think i might take the damage one

stamina regen and damage resistance are always good picks
faster kicking is easily thwarted by thicker armors
and dodging is dodging

I honestly don't really like the bosses, it feels like the attack windows you get are incredibly small and they can only be beaten with cheesin and some luck

Which is why I also really like the first axe boss, he gives a few really nice attack windows whilst also punishing you really hard for even the smallest of fuck ups

shrewd sierra

for the bosses js dont give them room at all

And their hitboxes are enormous

if the bosses are easy i'll demolish you

so they added the playtest physics into the demo?

for bosses with blunt weapons like maces or axes, I find it easier to just have them miss a swing and then run right up to them so they have a harder time swinging again
