besides the fact that i got clipped in the leg from stunlock this is a pretty good demonstration of what it takes to not get hit
it's majority weapon placement + footwork and not a lot of flashy reaction type parries

make sure you're running on a lower sensitivity and understand the way your weapon of choice moves
serene tulip
I like to think of parrying as "controlling your opponent's weapon"
It's more than just deflecting and glancing it, it's the aspiration to dominate it and swing it out from their control so that you create an opening
Usually by using their own momentum against them in some way

Yeah I might start playing Man At Arms more, it combines your skill in parrying to create openings with your ability to strike accurately.

its probs mostly cause you often go from an armoured, sword weilding champion to an almost naked man rolling around in the3 mud
feral lily
like the feeling of what you have lost cheapens the experience
grave valve
and because abyss is abyss. insta killed there too.
feral lily
then i got insta killed.
real
spiral meteor
Just do spoilances and carnage and i feel like teir 1 is fun
real men play tier one carnage without a knife
grave valve
speaking of insta killed
feral lily
and because abyss is abyss. insta killed there too.
yeah your cooked above militia
grave valve
time for the tier 2 "Boss"
feral lily
first time i didn't do it 10000% legeit cause i maxed out npc damage taken and minimised my damage taken but only while in the void
but reset to normal for real fights
tip: dont hold G to quit a fight, go esdcape and return to menu
it means you wont bleed out or be killed while trynna escape
last harbor
yay. fun. i love regrinding tier 1 and 2.
t2 is okayish, it is t1 that is gets really stale
feral lily
BUT NEVER DO THIS IF YOU ARE ACTIVELY DYING
OR YOULL BE SENT TO FREE MODE ABYSS
AND ITLL BE A 100% RESET
feral lily
t2 is okayish, it is t1 that is gets really stale
T2 is funny cause pitchforl
grave valve
until the boss. which might as well be a cointoss on if you win or not since the scythe physics are just
bad.
(i swear to god i have been tapped by the unsharpened edge of it and been insta killed)
feral lily
my highest ever tier was soldier.
dont worry above soldier you die a lot less
feral lily
more armour means you almost never get insta killed
last harbor
have axe which also will decapitate you on 1 pixel touch
And you have no real weapon
feral lily
so you can tap out of fights to avoid death if in a bad situation
grave valve
have axe which also will decapitate you on 1 pixel touch
the solution is resetting a lot until you get a tall candle holder
because it has incredibly fucky physics, you can legit just blindly run at the dude with it
feral lily
like ive only ever died once above veteren
grave valve
and win
feral lily
because it has incredibly fucky physics, you can legit just blindly run at the d...
just get knife and full charge
grave valve
see
feral lily
yeah but gauntlet becomes way easier after veteren
feral lily
so hang in there
grave valve
at which point they are pretty much useless lol
feral lily
youll get to the end lol
and be greated with suffereing incarnate
THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
grave valve
the baron?`
feral lily
also known as
grave valve
isnt that just a duel in armor?
feral lily
STRAIGHT UP RNG
no
u gotta do a whole thingo first
you start with no armour or weapons
and kill waves of enemies
and they driop their weapons and have A CHANCE to drop armour
so there is a decent chance it becomes impossible cause your going up against knights with just a helmet
grave valve
that's just objectively bad design
feral lily
also when it gets upto knights theres like 4 at a time
grave valve
like im sorry, who thought that was a good idea
feral lily
and even armoured you just get knocked down constantly
but the baron easy
cause his big stick makes him fall over constantly
feral lily
and he surrenders real quick
last harbor
and one-shot me
feral lily
Because peasant with fork spawned behind me
fork best weapon
wait no
spikey stick of death
grave valve
Because peasant with fork spawned behind me
read: why i just reset whenever i see one
legitimately not worth the risk ever.
last harbor
read: why i just reset whenever i see one
ABYSS
grave valve
yeah, die.
feral lily
tip: you can just run from abyss enemies
grave valve
that's all you can really do
last harbor
and not even gauntlet abyss
Regular abyss
and no
Pitchforks are easy
just get close
Problem was he spawned behind me
AND I WAS ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR THINGS LIKE THAT
i was turning around non-stop
and they still spawn behind me
feral lily
when I go to gauntlet abyss I often just find a pitchfork or spear and run full sprint while holding the spear in thrust position
if enemy spawns ahead of me, impales
if beside me, i run past
and then i basically always insta kill the boss and go back to my measly commoner class
ong losing character after militia feels like a betrayal
that spikey stick boss so annoying
dapper trail
nah
dapper trail
loosing character BEFORE militia feels like a betrayal
last harbor
beautiful hit
feral lily
I literally cut half od his head off once and he wasn't even phased
feral lily
its cause he has a super good sword tho
it has really good range and is still really light
feral lily
so he can swing it fast
feral lily
"lol they have twice your reach and better gear"
you have obviously never seen veterein boss lol
grave valve
i haven't.
feral lily
that man has objectively worse gear
grave valve
and i dont think i ever will.
feral lily
he has the whole top half od his head fully exposed
grave valve
i have sunk more attempts into this shit than fucking genichiro in sekiro.
last harbor
GOTCHA
feral lily
not like a small shield one of the big awkward ones
grave valve
fun times.
i once again made the mistake of looking at the t3 boss' sword.
so obviously. he cuts my arm instantly.
(he swung it for maybe 10 cm)
feral lily
use slow mo
quiet ferry
Ida
feral lily
always works
quiet ferry
Idea
feral lily
never fails
feral lily
lol
grave valve
because what do you know. instakilled there too.
quiet ferry
Abyss is possible?????
feral lily
JUST GOTTA GET TO VETEREN
feral lily
YOU JUST GOTTA GET TO VETEREN MAN AND ITS A CAKEWALK
TRUST
(exept ultimate challenge)
quiet ferry
Trust in the candlestick
feral lily
^^^^
last harbor
FUUUUUCK
grave valve
Trust in the candlestick
i know.
grave valve
t1 is the easiest shit ever.
last harbor
WTF
grave valve
candlestick. run at him
feral lily
t1 is so friggin easy
grave valve
and done
dapper trail
t1 is fuckn cancer
what
last harbor
First time i see enemy surrendirng right away without even getting any hits on him
feral lily
if candelstick doesn't spawn, run at him with knife and flail randomly
grave valve
there was zero thought in this
last harbor
WAIT WTFG
grave valve
grabbed candle stick
last harbor
HE IS FIFTH PERSON
grave valve
ran at boss
last harbor
grave valve
done
last harbor
Why there are 5 people
feral lily
you just gotta lead him away from the knife trust
last harbor
grabbed candle stick
... it spawns like 1 time in 6
grave valve
grab knife
wait for swing
run in
done
there's some risk to that but a lot of the time you will just tear the dudes throat out with the first few swings
feral lily
... it spawns like 1 time in 6
yeah grab knife, if hes close to it run away from it and lead him away then run back
grave valve
or else do so much damage to him that he just
dies
feral lily
then just full charge him
grave valve
god i fucking HATE pitchforks.
i swear.
every single fucking time i fight one i just get instakilled.
feral lily
real
they suck
unless you have one
then they are the greatest thing ever
just like
spikey stick
grave valve
no they arent.
feral lily
of doom
feral lily
also switch hands to stab from other direction
grave valve
use alt to thrust them and half sword at close range
for some reason. that doesnt work???
again
my thrusts always go DOWNWARDS.
feral lily
look up then lol
grave valve
í literally cannot hit the body with a thrust because, for some reason, they all are aimed dow-
feral lily
or double lmb to hold in full out infront of ytou really awkwardly
last harbor
He swung at the same time
feral lily
skill issue
last harbor
and nicked my leg
feral lily
run away from the candlestick
last harbor
As i said, this boss is very luck reliant
feral lily
to move him away from it
last harbor
í literally cannot hit the body with a thrust because, for some reason, they all...
just aim higher
feral lily
so you dont get decapitated when trynna pick it up
last harbor
Are you stupid?
feral lily
maybe\
last harbor
I did not die when grabbing it
feral lily
why
grave valve
look up then lol
shockingly, *this actually fixed it
last harbor
I died when i was swinging it
grave valve
i guess i always was looking down????
or at least enough to throw off my thrusts?? oh well
grave valve
im not gonna complain about getting a tool that i need lol
feral lily
he mostly does down swings btw
vaus taller
so half sword it, block it and then get real close and flail randomly till he dies
grave valve
oh. the game fucked me.
feral lily
fatal error?
feral lily
the tru final boss?
grave valve
groan
feral lily
ahh
grave valve
fuck it .
feral lily
ong never died to the first boss if i full charge him
feral lily
its cause he mostly does down swings
feral lily
meaning he cant really do much if you run right at him
last harbor
also don'tr forget that arrow time exists now
feral lily
like at worst youll be bonked with the handle
grave valve
god having thrusts that actuall
go to the torso is great
thanks for pointing out the camera thing lmfao
feral lily
lol i was originally womndering too why all my stabs went straight to the enemies groin
i just thought my willie was trynna prevent any chances of their bloodline continuing
the true revenge in case of death
stiff belfry
literally just run at the boss and grab his legs
feral lily
like "you may have survives but your balls did not my friend"
stiff belfry
hes too easy to toss around
jolly gorge
the tru final boss?
the bronze idiot?
jolly gorge
yeah UE sucks ass
feral lily
its not the dev's or the game's fault
i kinda feel bad people blame em for fatal error
its a problem with UE itself
late phoenix
is fatal error
Turning off Blood and gore can help but it's not a guarantee to stop it
quiet ferry
Isn’t half sword a really really really really big game
late phoenix
Isn’t half sword a really really really really big game
Not really
Well in popularity
I guess
But as in game
feral lily
Isn’t half sword a really really really really big game
fatal error is caused by a problem in unreal engine
grave valve
t2 boss, meet pitch fork
late phoenix
But as in game
Not too sure
grave valve
pitch fork, meet t2 boss.
anyways, to get a sword
or do i keep bringing the pitchfork into t3...
late phoenix
Sword all the way even if it's not the meta in later classes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
jolly gorge
PITCHFORK ALL THE WAY
yeah I beat the bronze idiot with spear and no armor once
quiet ferry
but i'd like to not get stomped by the T3 boss.
Test
last harbor
Sword all the way even if it's not the meta in later classes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can win anything with sword
quiet ferry
Half swording your pitchfork
feral lily
got screwed by armour drop rng but got some gnarly hits in and one shot some of the knights cause i swung so hard
feral lily
and then the baron tripped on his own stiock and dies
late phoenix
You can win anything with sword
I beat the entire gauntlet with a sword yea(only after T2 because I didn't have Access to swords before)
feral lily
well not died but he tripped and surrendered
fierce acorn
😭
hardy hemlock
beat him naked w/ just your fists
feral lily
Watched the guy trip himself and surrender way too many times
he either tripps and surrenders immediately or its the longest fight youll ever have
hardy hemlock
not too hard
late phoenix
beat him naked w/ just your fists
Naked Willie with the gyat out
feral lily
legit the second time I beat him we went through his entire arsenal, and when unarmed proceeded to try and fist fight me before dying
he didn't even surrender
grave valve
seriously. this thing is stupid good lmfao
feral lily
I had to cut his head olff with a poleaxe
late phoenix
legit the second time I beat him we went through his entire arsenal, and when un...
I think if you just spam kicked him he would have fallen
late phoenix
seriously. this thing is stupid good lmfao
I just found it unfun to use because of how cheesy it is 😭
feral lily
seriously. this thing is stupid good lmfao
try spikey stick of doom in militia class
late phoenix
try spikey stick of doom in militia class
The Plançon?
late phoenix
Fuckers a beast ngl
feral lily
one of the most fun weapons
grave valve
feral lily
cause even if you drop it
late phoenix
I just find these weapons too op 💔💔
feral lily
enemies will step on it and bleed to death
late phoenix
enemies will step on it and bleed to death
It's like a Lego when you were 5
feral lily
I just find these weapons too op 💔💔
it was nerfed a bit ago so its more balanced now but the bonk is so funny
like the slowmo wack
chefs kiss
quiet ferry
Am I supposed to lose double the stamina when I use slow mo
hardy hemlock
yeah
feral lily
yes
quiet ferry
hm.. which faction though
I’d say what python said
feral lily
t4 boss is suffering
grave valve
SPIKE STICK OF DEATH CARRIES ME THROUGH
feral lily
GLORIOUS
it used to be super op cause it used to have massive armour piercing
but now its balanced
quiet ferry
Bro?????
feral lily
kinda....
grave valve
tf you mean balanced
if you dont clip them with a thrust you will clip them with a swing
and vice versa
feral lily
well...
grave valve
this thing is insane, and i love it so dearly
feral lily
more balanced
quiet ferry
Slightly
quiet ferry
whats the T4 boss like?
Spikey spear
grave valve
i am NOT going to walk into this fucker blind at this point. i refuse to just g- okay same as me
ez.
quiet ferry
But big spike spear
quiet ferry
Damn
grave valve
i have big spike spear
i have no idea how to use it with someone that just... outreaches me.
grave valve
maybe i should just focus all my efforst on closing, half sword, and hope to god i clip him first?
quiet ferry
Yuh
feral lily
why has no one ever mentioned that, since the shirt your character wears in the ultimate challenge is completely purple, that that shirt would be INCREDIBLY expensive
grave valve
okay. i got this
feral lily
like kinds wouldn't even have that
*kings
cause of how difficult purple dye was to get
quiet ferry
okay. i got this
99% of gamblers quit before winning big
grave valve
forget the bosses
the dude i fought just before going for my 4th run on the T4 boss is the true champ
my dude took several deabilitating swings and kept fighting until i finally broke his arm
feral lily
did u beat t4?
grave valve
YES
I
DID
one swing into his legs,
spike stick of death
but with a chestplate? :D
oh, devs, you shouldn't have <3
raw sphinx
Hey! What's a reliable way to beat the T3 boss? I can't figure out a good approach, that doesn't revolve around just me getting randomly lucky.
grave valve
get the pitchfork from tier two, and thrust
feral lily
Hey! What's a reliable way to beat the T3 boss? I can't figure out a good approa...
murder
grave valve
it's a bit.. iffy
but relatively, due to the reach of the ptich fork, it's safe
you're less likely to suffer the fate of random insta death, and can quickly quit out to the menu or whatever if he does clip you bad enough to injure badly
feral lily
Hey! What's a reliable way to beat the T3 boss? I can't figure out a good approa...
get longsword, lmb x2 and charge directly at boss
works every time
raw sphinx
Cheers! Will try these out.
