That's my answer at least

how much time do you save by typing "ts" as opposed to "this shit" btw

I can't prob cause I suck

lunar oxide

#

more seriously the answer though is just finding the peak of your swing, making sure you hit straight, and following through to the end

# gloomy beacon How u get such clean chop?

So the real answer is actually that you need to understand your own bio-mechanics. This game does a pretty decent job at mimicking the momentum and swings that you, yourself can physically make. Once you understand that the weapon is merely an extension of your arm and start to use it thusly will you really get a feel for what a proper swing can feel like, edge alignment will naturally follow as you learn.

on top of using movement to add to your swings

#

especially those side strikes

#

It's really all about the peaks of momentum and potential force that can be generated.

insanely potent and can decapitate easily

for those who say the first boss is "impossible"; i beat him literally by only kicking him

those fights can be intense sometimes.

when armor gets involved i just immediately default to polearms

rancid sluice
#

i usually go with axe because it makes for a good blunt weapon

serene tulip

#

i'm more acquainted with longswords in unarmored/minimally armored settings because it feels nice and the added risk makes it super fun

rancid sluice
#

while still getting the occasional cut

somehow it doesn't hit if willie doesn't shout "cuckold" before getting decapitated

# humble tendon anyone got further advice to give for commoner boss? I only get lucky kills with...

He's a really annoying cunt but there are a few tactics I utilize against him that work most of the time.

  1. Sprint (shift) + stab him (alt + LMB)
  2. Sprint (shift) half-sword him (RMB)
  3. Keep spamming stab (alt+LMB) until he backs up into a fence and when he stumbles swing left and right at his head
  4. Hold stab formation (alt+LMB) and wait until he does his left and right swing and then quickly slice at his head from left or right
    @humble tendon
#

He's like 12 foot tall with a 15 foot sword that he can swing endlessly without getting tired and can skewer you by just existing. He can also follow-up and hit you in 0.1 seconds instantly maiming or decapitating you lol

but it's so much of a luck thing

limber nymph
#

Ahh

#

Which axe, lumber axe or light axe?

#

(the light axe is the one that looks like a thin fire axe)

humble tendon
#

lumber, light axe doesn't hit hard enough for me

limber nymph
#

gotcha gotcha

humble tendon
#

or rather, I just use lumber axe for everything

limber nymph
#

previous patch, lumber axe was legit op

#

it hasd the limberness of the light axe, but hit twice as hard

#

mmm

supple flint
raven plover
limber nymph
#

But ya, to keep the boss at range with a pitchfork, you have to aim the point bit at him and every so often do a stabbing motion

#

Most npcs get scared and back off for a bit

limber nymph
humble tendon
raven plover
#

other weapons its just kinda wait til he swings left and right then go in for a small slash n back off OR just go for a killing blow but if u miss ur dead

supple flint
humble tendon
limber nymph
#

Kind of, but you also can't stab too much

#

Otherwise your stamina depletes

#

It's a game of chicken

humble tendon
#

ah I got it

#

just stuck it out at him

#

he backed into a fence and just casually poke it into him

#

alright

raven plover
#

hah yes u got it

limber nymph
#

nicee

#

oh god, that gif was too uncanny

But ya, in short, the game just taught you a history lesson: range and poking are the pinnacle of unarmored combat

Brother this is a demo

#

A technically impressive demo but a demo nonetheless.

weak kite
junior bridge
#

do you know if baron saves when i win?

#

because i pressed gauntlet and it erased my gauntlet progress

#

i think baron is unlocked in free mode tho

lunar oxide
restive badger
#

anybody mess around with dashes a lot? seems like you can go lightspeed with dashes and dashes + kicks

weak kite
junior bridge
#

they should keep it that way probably

restive badger
#

I think the game is a lot better difficult

#

if its too hard just adjust the sliders anyway

weak kite
#

half the time I die/become disabled, it's not even from an attack, it's from the other Willie accidentally bumping their weapon into me in close combat or dropping it on me like when I just died to a BILLHOOK TO THE FOOT

restive badger
#

lower the damage slider

#

you can make them do less damage to you if thats what you prefer

weak kite
restive badger
#

ah specifically in that I see

lunar oxide
restive badger
#

I gave up on baron because it kept bugging out

#

the other gamemodes are more fun than it anyway

lunar oxide
#

Shit is a lot more complicated then people think.

weak kite
#

axes are especially absurd this update, literally splitting my head open after brushing up against me

weak kite
restive badger
#

axes were absurd last update

lunar oxide
restive badger
#

it doesnt split people as often on the realistic setting I've found though

#

so I stick with the middle option instead of doing brutal

weak kite
#

I go flying for trying to holster a weapon and have literally died because I tried to put a knife away, sometimes when I holster a blade it goes too far into me and I physically cannot use my hands nor grab the weapon I just tried to holster

weak kite
lunar oxide
restive badger
#

weapons weigh a lot, and weigh a lot more the farther they are from your center of mass

#

the farther they are the more torque they have on you

weak kite
#

complexity is fine, sure, but the jank is not, and the complexity gives the jank more chances to become apparent

weak kite
lunar oxide
restive badger
weak kite
#

it was to the point where I could theoretically use it as a dodge tech

restive badger
#

theres crazy dodge tech with just kicks

weak kite
#

I was being lifted off my feet by my polearm

restive badger
#

I can fly across the arena pretty much

lunar oxide
restive badger
weak kite
#

like you're not gonna be swinging that thing around freely and you're gonna need some muscle to use it effectively

#

but it's not like lifting weights

restive badger
#

I like the jank in the game

#

its not the same fight every time

#

and it makes me have to adapt to it

weak kite
lunar oxide
restive badger
#

if a polearm in the shoe kills me I have to figure out how to not have the polearm in my shoe

#

I mean dying is the natural course of the gameplay

#

so I dont really care if I die

weak kite
lunar oxide
restive badger
#

the fun is in getting back up to baron or winning a seemingly unwinnable fight

#

at least for me

#

I much enjoy the lower levels than the higher ones

#

so getting sent back down is a good thing in that aspect

weak kite
#

follow-up is extremely important in melee combat, and the heavier/more unbalanced the weapon is, the increasingly more difficult it is to adjust yourself and your weapon for what you do next

#

like if I go for a swing downwards, I'm also gonna need to be able to redirect the swing if it misses or is blocked to use it again for either blocking or a followup attack

#

it also may just be a warped perception on my end, but it feels like the purple Willie you play as in ultimate challenge is a total wuss

#

Chat how can i reset my progress i cant find that file

#

i looked in pinned messages

weak kite
#

while enemies are tanking hits left and right and can still fight with a knife in their gut, purple Willie starts crying and holding his injuries after minor hits that don't really seem that bad to me at least

i finished the game

but i wanna reset

#

ohhh

#

oh well I got no clue I'm tech illiterate

weak kite
restive badger
#

windows + r then type %appdata% -> go to local -> go to HalfSwordUE5 -> delete SG Gauntlet Progress

#

you can make a backup of that file just in case anything happens when you delete it

lunar oxide
restive badger
#

youre in appdata right?

minor gale
#

ye

restive badger
#

try going to view at the top and clicking the checkbox for hidden items

#

otherwise you might be in the wrong drive if you have multiple

weak kite
minor gale
#

when i go in half sword file

#

there is only Engine, HalfswordU5, HalfswordU5, manifest and manifest

restive badger
#

halfsword UE5

lunar oxide
restive badger
#

go into that folder

#

and then into saved games

#

and then delete the saved gauntless progress

#

but back it up first just in case

minor gale
#

when i go in there there is only Binaries, Content and Screenshot

restive badger
#

whats the folder path at the top?

lunar oxide
#

Again it's all in the distribution of that weight.

minor gale
#

steamapps - common. - half sword demo - HalfswordUE5

restive badger
#

going through that doesnt work

#

has to be appdata

minor gale
#

but i cant find it in the appdata

restive badger
#

do you have multiple drives by chance

minor gale
#

no

lunar oxide
#

It's top heavy, it is made for splitting, the center of It's mass is concentrated at the top of the weapon. The weapon itself is not intrinsically heavy.

restive badger
#

and youre opening run and typing in %appdata% and then hitting okay?

#

and if you are what folders are inside of it

minor gale
#

folders like EldenRing, AMD, EA etc…

restive badger
#

it auto puts you in roaming probably

minor gale
#

appdata - Roaming

restive badger
#

go back one folder at the top

#

oh ye i think i got it

#

oh ye works tysm

restive badger
#

perfect np

minor gale
#

now delete the sg gauntlet progress.sav file or rename it

restive badger
#

delete it and then relaunch the game

#

it should (hopefully) just regenerate a brand new one that has no progress

i did only jusr switch to dx11 like lasr night so maybe took a bit to update the settings idk

sinful creek
#

If you are having crash issues: from my personal testing on my pc, I have found that it is the blood, not the gore that causes the fatal error crashes

jolly gorge
#

yes i read somewhwre its the blood being high polu

#

poly*

sinful creek
#

That makes sense

jolly gorge
#

causes it to crash and they said theyre fixing it but that was 30+ days ago so idk

sinful creek
#

They only have 1 dev working on the demo right now, and 2 working on early access as far as I know

#

But they are working on it

#

Gotta remember that this game is big in terms of how many people play it, but the dev team is still fairly small

jolly gorge
#

yeah i know all the streamers jumped on it instantly so now everyones trying it

sinful creek
solemn holly
#

oh hold on i thought you meant there was one dev for the entire thing

#

i just woek up

but uhh i don't remember them specifing how many people are working on the demo and early access

you either take more or less damage or you shatter every bone in there body or they become immortal

I've found a little over quarter is the best for fist/blunt fuckery

I have beat the baron unarmed in ultimate challenge

Might snatch those cuz the damage settings I usually go for means blunt weapons do fuck all

aaaaaand he knock me out lmao

It was like the most well armored I have ever been going up against him too

get close and grapple next time

thats what i tried

i got hammered in the back and a buckler to the eye

Honestly the gloves are my favorite spoillence weapon.

true zealot

it'll mean you give up a little bit of ground, but it's worth it for the cover from the back

yeah let me get to actually grabbing them first my friend

#

i tried it again just now and got clotheslines

rose dock
#

Trolled.

teal swallow
#

so uhm

#

what do i do with this guy im holding him by the chest and dih

true zealot
#

try actually grappling, one by one let go of a hand, wrap it around his back, and grab again

#

get a grip on his back

teal swallow
#

hes already given up i have time ig

true zealot
#

yeah

teal swallow
#

OH GOD WHY IS MY HAND SO DEFORMED

#

i just elbow dropped this guy by accident

#

i went to choke him and accidentally tripped and elbow dropped him

sinful creek
#

I have now beaten the baron twice unarmed

teal swallow
#

damg

sinful creek
#

To be clear: I used weapons UP TO the baron

#

My next challenge is going to be doing the entire ultimate challenge unarmed

#

Then, if I can do that, the entire gauntlet unarmed

#

But, I figured (after several failed attempts at the full gauntlet unarmed) that it made the most sense to start by seeing if you can even beat the baron unarmed

#

Because if you couldn't, the challenge would be a non-start

#

But, you can

Has anyone suggested a dodge key yet?
Similar to how Alt makes you stab maybe Shift+Alt takes control from your arms and gives it to your upper body letting you weave.

And I doubt they’ll add one honestly

You can reduce crashes by turning down/off blood

tepid geyser
#

I'm turning off blood but keeping gore

#

Also JEEZ that sound is LOUD

#

I LOVE SAVESCUMMING

still gazelle
#

I'd also set self damage down to like 25% since the enemy blades seem to not stick to you as much when doing that

#

and a decent number of crashes for me happen the second a blade sticks to my character

guys willie has no nationality or language,
as confirmed, he grows from the stalk, not from a human body, therefore he is not to be held to human standard.

To savescum

honest thorn
#

You basically copy ur save state before dying, so you can pretend you didn't actually die when you did

#

You copy it to a folder outside that directory, the. Paste if you fuck up

honest thorn
#

Yes. That's what you asked for.

hasty kayak
#

No

#

I thought he would give advice not no cheat method

honest thorn
#

To be fair, I was under the impression you knew what save scumming was already

tepid geyser
#

I think I discovered why you can't tip the training dummy over

#

There's a cube ounder the map that's attached to it

honest thorn

Yeah, it's weight for the dummy

I'm pretty sure that cube sticks around after the dummy goes away
