Let him move towards you a bit, circle around him to grab the knife in the center, and then keep your distance waiting for him to swing and give an opening, run in and stab

hmm, well, there's an issue playing in the ultimate challenge with crashing where the best fix atm is to disable blood in the game settings.

otherwise, are you running on dx12 or dx11? Check in your game settings

I wonder what Agata is working on.

#

What are you working on, Agata.

What glorious thing are you making.

as much as i love halfsword please just up enemy ai instead of making them take less damage than the player im going to lose my shit

make them better

soft osprey

You can adjust damage sliders you know

#

Every Willie is different in skill

balmy wind
#

the point is I shouldnt have to lol

soft osprey

??

#

It’s literally setting difficulty

balmy wind

The default should be equal!

#

It is!

#

It takes like 2 seconds to adjust it how you want

little verge

#

personally i lower the damage universally because i think the default is too high

balmy wind
#

They are equal by default but I still very much feel like the willies naturally take less damage than the player does. Even with the sliders the exact same. I've NEVER touched them

soft osprey
#

Then touch them

balmy wind

I mean if the sliders are the exact same I shouldnt be screaming on loop after losing a finger while the willie who just lost his arm is still swinging without a issue in the world lmao

Halfsword shouldnt be made dependent on learning fencing techniques 😔

Halfsword isn't really ABOUT fencing

#

But knowing it does help

balmy wind
#

halfsword you can barely fence

fast kindle
#

Many will disagree

balmy wind
#

basic sword guards and like master cuts

#

will get you the most

#

parrying only works if you were nowhere near being cut anyways

#

because half the time your sword will be clipped through

#

and your head

#

lobbed off

fast kindle
#

I mean

#

I agree

balmy wind
#

If they added a mechanic where slapping against someone's blade rebounded it in some way

#

that'd be nice

#

make the buckler smth more than a punching tool

wet stump

#

Shit gets wacky of you're creative

balmy wind
#

thats literally all I use the buckler for lmao

#

The only good shields are the punch shield and that super big flat one thats prevelant around soldier tier

#

Because theyre both big, fat, and impossible to ignore in the game engine

so swords will collide and actually stop

if it's any consolation I've been broke since I paid for this PC.

But at least I can be broke while enjoying my monster PC lol

I want to be released of all this financial burden

I got them as cheap as I could. But my car requiring new rotors + brakes was the real inopportune wallet strike

You don't have to be at your cousins wedding tbh

#

serene tulip

My family is actually pretty close so I do. Trust me I thought about not going but it just simply is not really a desired outcome

First of the two weddings was just a couple days ago, was very nice and got to spend time with my family.

We uploaded at the same time lol

Also wow lol visor shot

#

You should change to DX12 in the settings.

It adds raytracing, your pc can handle it lol

serene tulip

perhaps. I just tend to ignore RTX since I usually play at 100fps 1440p, which is quite resource hungry when you put games on ultra

mint wadi

I really gave'em the ole' bing bop boom boom bim bop bam

#

The type of shit I'm on Willie wouldn't understand.

shut falcon
#

okay so tip 1: your human body is frail, there is a 'hierarchy' of parts that shouldn't be hit and parts that really shouldn't be hit

at the top of this pyramid is head, neck and upper chest, also lower chest kind of, these house the absolutely most vital parts of your body, anything hits too hard here? cuts or stabs? you are dead, so avoid exposing your upper body to most attacks

everything else shouldn't be hit but won't immediately kill you, limbs mostly

this is why when dealing with enemies with sharp weapons, you need to be extremely careful about approaching, without armor, any sharp weapon can kill you nearly instantly, even if its a shoddy knife, so remember how frail you are and how one misstep can bring your doom, be patient and study how far the enemy weapon can reach you

tawdry vale
shut falcon
#

tip 2 which is related: aim for the enemiess vital parts, a quick slice at the neck will kill the enemy ten times quicker than cutting wildly at arms and legs, it reduces the time you fight with your enemy, which reduces the risk greatly of getting killed/maimed, this becomes difficult as enemies get armored but i'd reccomend half-sword/double handing swords and knifes to get greater control of your weapon

shut falcon
tawdry vale
shut falcon
#

oh yeah i forgot that mode existed

tawdry vale
#

You could look at someone funny and it will bisect them

shut falcon
#

hm i should probably clarify im playing on the regular mode

#

which is gruesome

tawdry vale
#

I figured

mint wadi
#

Tip 69. These hands. When they catch them, it hurts them. Unironically melee is really strong lol.

shut falcon
#

tip 3: be careful with your footing and stamina, being mobile in a fight is quite important, staying on the move makes it more difficult for the enemy to strike you down, but also be careful about your stamina, try and conserve it and to not go running for 20 seconds, because the less stamina you have the less you can run away or reposition, or even stand up right when an enemy pushes you forward, your movement speed is also affected negatively by head or leg injuries, so keep track of how fast you can run

#

tip 3.5: do not step on weapons, its the worst way to die

jolly oxide
#

i dont know how to stand up g

#

lmao

shut falcon
#

your character will try to stand up

mint wadi
#

I have.

jolly oxide
#

someone wanna hop in a call and play or eha

misty hill
#

i did 2 times

shut falcon
#

tip 4: i suggest at least checkign out most of the weapons on the different tiers, start learning how they are categorized (swords, spears, hammers) and try and see what works best for you, but dont neglect any weapon because the final challenge will force you to learn to use the weapon you've been given, try the free mode if you wanna learn and get more familiar with the... lets call them 'flaily' controls

jolly oxide
#

yeah they are hard to control thats for sure

aye anyone wanna hop ina vc and play

How DO you dodge?

also final tip 5: when fighting an enemy, focus your eyesight on their torso, this is apparently an actual dueling tip, it keeps everything important in focus (feet, torso, weapon)

ANd not focus on the weapon?

yeah heres secret tip 6: don't fight the final challenge

silent fractal
#

I finally beat the tier three boss in the progression mode.

scarlet storm

#

Only to immediately die to a friendly sword to the head in the 3x3 fight (forgor name...)

#

and lose in the Abyss from a physics glitch launching a candle stick into my willie's chest.

#

But I still count it as a win....

#

Sir Greatsword I got your number....

#

Anyone have any advice on how to get past his aggressive guard/attacks and reach?

hallow girder
#

he overcommits on overhead attacks

#

wait for him to do one of those and dodge it

#

if you're using longsword parrying him is a fruitless endeavor

silent fractal
#

insert note taking meme since it won't embed

hallow girder
#

however a buckler can actually block him effectively just be careful about him continuing his attacks

silent fractal
#

Yeah, I beat him with a sword buckler combo and hit his arm so he couldn't two hand his sword.

hallow girder
#

his gambeson can sometimes save his stupid chud life from cuts so stabs can be more reliable

#

unless you strike the head

silent fractal
#

I tried that again and got a sword in my eye.

hallow girder
#

if you want to cheese you can always use the pitchfork from the peasant for more range

silent fractal
#

yeah that. ty.

#

I knew it was Bu-something t.

elfin briar
#

the tier three boss is my number one run killer and i joined this server spesifically to find how to kill the fucker

shut falcon
#

small buhurts are very dangerous overall, i dont reccomend them

hallow girder
#

i live for small buhurts

silent fractal
elfin briar
silent fractal
#

He feels like a pretty big jump in difficulty.

hallow girder
#

helmet-head and the commoner boss are the biggest difficulty spikes in the game

elfin briar
hallow girder
#

imo

silent fractal
#

and no tier three polearms... how do you use a pitchfork again him?

hallow girder
#

plancon dude in militia can sometimes give you trouble if you dont have a polearm too

hallow girder
#

you can equip lower tiers

#

peasant has the ever reliable pitchfork

shut falcon
# elfin briar the tier three boss is my number one run killer and i joined this server spesifi...

so the two biggest weaknesses of tier 3 boss is:

1- he doesn't have a helmet, he is quite tall but if you strike above, he is going to take the full hit to the head

2- he has a large weapon that is heavy

the reason he is so difficult is that none of the weapons the commoner class has outranges him, even the longest longsword is shorter than his greatsword (you can circumvent is by playing as a peasent with the pitchfork)

so, what you do is either hit him with the head with the longest thing you have, or get closer than his effect sword range after a swing and then cut his neck or stab him in the upper torso

silent fractal
shut falcon
#

the easiest method by far is the pitchfork, ive beat him once without the pitchfork and it was only because i managed to knock him down

hallow girder
#

his weapon is frankly absurdly sharp

#

a small twitch and you'll die

shut falcon
#

you could try and grapple or hold a buckler to protect yourself, but yeah the boss isn't easy by any means

silent fractal
#

One of my fav strats cause it's funny is getting inside someone's range and just kicking them till they go down or something breaks. (like their kneecaps)

hallow girder
#

a buckler is the most effective means of defense if you want to protect yourself

#

i think a good offense is the best defense in this case though

elfin briar
#

so ill try the pitchfork

#

ty

silent fractal
#

I will try some new strats based on this... ty.

shut falcon
#

i kind of suck with a buckler but its an extremely effective defense tool

hallow girder
#

ive been able to consistently beat him with this strategy:

  1. pick longsword
  2. switch to half sword stance, calmly approach boss 3
  3. dash in and out to bait an attack
  4. once he does, dash back, hold alt to stab and run in
#

a good stab in the chest or abdominal region will put him down (except when it doesnt)

elfin briar
#

how does one dash

hallow girder
#

also make extensive use of slow mo

#

you're gonna need it

elfin briar
#

and how do yall actually consistently use your swords

#

and WHAT is slow mo

hallow girder
#

this is called a dash

elfin briar
hallow girder
#

press F

#

rapidly consumes stamina but lets you slow down time

#

if you have higher graphics it also applies a funny filter over your screen

silent fractal
#

I have seen it do that when I win a match.

#

but I didn't know that was an option for use.

hallow girder
#

its a pretty important tool

silent fractal
#

I watched several long videos of people playing the game and NO ONE MENTIONED THAT

#

ty ty ty

hallow girder
#

dont abuse it though

elfin briar
hallow girder
#

if you hold it down too much you get perma tired

#

which is basically a loss

shut falcon
# elfin briar and how do yall actually consistently use your swords

so for unarmored enemies or enemies with little armor, i usually go for simple two handed, i reccomend looking up a few real life guard stances for swords and seeing how it would work in a fight, but usually if you keep your distance and swing in vital spots, you'll win

for armored opponents i do half swording, only effective way to use a sword against a knight, it gives you a lot more control of the point of the sword and lets you stab very precisely, which is great for getting into the eyeslots of helmets or small gaps between the shoulders

hallow girder
shut falcon
#

also to analyze whats on the field, a weapon, a piece of armor, etc

hallow girder
#

more time to properly aim or align your weapon during an attack

#

also for hype moments and aura

#

most important use

silent fractal
#

I know the stamina mechanic. Keeps me from going mega ham with the iron gauntlets in low tier spoilage matches (or w/e the ones are called with random weapons and junk)

elfin briar
silent fractal
#

Physics.

#

(joke answer that is technically correct)

hallow girder
#

if you block the opponent's attack with your sword that is a parry

#

you can riposte from there to hit them

shut falcon
# elfin briar how does parrying work in this game?

it works in different ways, you know the things on the side of your sword just above the hilt? those are to deflect attacks coming for your hands, now in this game its less effective but its one way of parrying

another is just using your weapon to block the attack, or a shield, or a buckler, if you push far enough you can push back the weapon and open an opportunity to counterattack with another weapon

hallow girder
#

i swear bucklers got buffed

#

just smacking people with them is way more effective than it used to be

shut falcon

#

is the only way to learn how to throw thing accurately practicing? i seem to either miss willy by 30 centimeters which is really close, I know kinda how to throw, but it misses by 2 willies heads distance each time and when I actually throw a sword or dagger accurately it stands vertically and spins or just spins out of control.

hallow girder
shut falcon
#

really?

#

huh

hallow girder
#

i remember picking up bucklers in spoilance and repeatedly bashing willies for 0 damage

#

now i pick it up and their necks snap

shut falcon
hallow girder
#

I didnt even hit them they just did that

shut falcon
#

but maybe try one of those trainer mods to help with the process?

golden granite
#

?

#

atleast

#

like close to 100 hours?

#

in the game?

shut falcon

#

I'm pretty good and find fighting willie boring now

hallow girder
#

throwing weapons sounds like some fuckshit i havent tried it at all

golden granite
#

I can just stab him

shell bronze
jaunty mason
#

It'd be so sick if when a Willy is given a non-fatal wound that they have a 15-20% chance of just exaggerating and playing dead however the only way to tell if they're still alive is by focusing on their chest to see them breathing while on the ground.

golden granite
#

or parry

hallow girder
#

gotta be some kind of voodoo magic

throwing has a very short time period

where you can throw

and you can hit him

does anyone else have severe problems with the commoner boss at the abyss?

hidden pendant
#

Fr tho commoner boss is definitely THE biggest skill check in the game, he's rough

#

Cheese him with a spear

shell bronze
#

commoner boss is literally just fighting someone who objectively outmatches you

#

so the best course of action is to downshift to peasant for the pitchfork and outmatch him for reach instead

woeful sonnet

is that the guy in all black with the big sword

shell bronze

woeful sonnet

he will cut you in half or remove your limbs with ease if you try to fight him on your own terms

go to peasant and randomize until you get the pitchfork
jam it into him
victory
