Why did this hit me? I was guarding. It wasn't red. Why did I die in two seconds? How am I supposed to learn anything...

How would I know this if it weren't for the internet? I can access him right now, shouldn't I be able to fight him right now?

Also this isn't something thats exclusive to this enemy. So far everything in this game that isn't your common fodder enemy is just like SURPRISE UR DEAD IN TWO HITS. There is no way to be patient and learn anything.

Youre trolling, right? Underwater headless are all piss easy

And the second one dies/disappears when you kill the first one

>be bad at the game
>blame it
>big fat kanji right there

Did the game delete itself after you died? No? Then try again. That's how you fucking learn.

1. You got posture broken because you were just passively pressing block and waiting
2. Last attack in that chain is red unblockable

Where? At the end when I was already dead?

Just kill the second one first, it has way less health

If it's too hard, you can always return later. The guy you're fighting becomes a common enemy later. A lot of games have areas or items in earlier sections that are gated off, and meant to be returned to later (or if you're good enough, do them straight away).
And again, you won't die in two hits if you just learn how to deflect properly. If you see an attack coming, press the button.

Kill the illusory one first. Bait tue water blast, evade, poke and slash twice then back away, repeat.

you would know it by the way you can't beat him. He's not a boss.

Game kind of sucks, but the early sections are open enough that yuou can just move past anything too frustrating. I think I killed that guy by somehow getting a stealth drop on him

>How am I supposed to know?

By taking more than the smallest fragment of our meaningless existence to think about why your failed at something. By actually trying to change what you do instead of mindlessly repeating behaviors and expecting different outcomes.

I don't fucking know what it is. I killed the first underwater headless easily, but this encounter has killed me more than all the bosses combined.

>run all the way there
>die immediately
>run all the way back
>learned nothing from previous encounter
>die immediately again
>run all the way back again
>try guarding and taking it slow to learn this enemy
>get posture broken in less than a second
>run all the way back again
>try to randomly guess at deflecting attacks
>die again

WOW REALLY FUN

The only reason any of you like this shit is because you've deluded yourselves into thinking its "casual filter" when in reality its just bad.

>i suck at this game but i'm so entitled i can't accept it, the game sucks!
Another entitled kid saying the game sucks just because they suck at it.
Your posture broke because you are a pussy and he's strong as fuck. Defeclt his attacks, run around him without stopping and strike sometimes or come back later.

lol

press shift to dash swim

I used this guy for training to git gud. Beat Madame Butterfly as my first boss shortly after.
Just repeat and learn.

>die in two hits
Are you perhaps running Demon Bell? Also stop crying, lone shadows are meant to be hard.

You saw one webm, how the fuck would you know what behaviors I'm "mindlessly repeating"?

For owl i franky just ran around the arena like kenshin himura and hit him every now and then.

Then don't play it. It's okay to not like a game. I haven't even played it but I played all the other souls shits and it's the same damn thing. Just go play something else and accept that this game isn't for you. Stop being 8 years old.

I am

No one else has this problem. Learn to press deflect.
I hate to say it, but unironically "git gud". If you literally just play better, you'll win. You need to press the deflect button the instant you see their attack coming closer.
I'm not trying to bring you down, but you're not trying to learn

Yeah I choked on this guy, took me like 30 tries to kill him. But I think I went here early, I just immediately explored this area after I got the bell.
The area is tight, but I found dodge+counter attack was the easiest way to deal with him. His combos are really predictable and easy to punish. Also just mikiri his kicks. Don't get greedy, and be careful not to get yourself into a corner, that's honestly what killed me the most.

Don't people just throw their controllers at the wall anymore? Like instead of crying on the internet because you lost a video game. Please keep your faggotry to yourself

lier

Yes, at the end of the guy's 5 kick combo. You're too low on health for want seems to be your skill level to be fighting that guy.

>You need to press the deflect button the instant you see their attack coming closer.
lets be serious, you just tap the botton when you want to deflect. There is no real way to time most attacks.

Oh, so you died once and came to complain? You're even more of a shitter than I thought.

Man you sound like the most spoiled entitled asshole kid out there. You aren?'t ''supposed'' to know shit, you aren't entitled to the game adapting to your stupidity. This dude frankly looks pretty intimidating since the minute you enter the area, and the game teaches you to be careful. Damn, such a crybaby, kek.

I don't agree. On some enemies, and on NG+, you'll get posture broken and die if you don't time it correctly. It's like a rhythm game.

I keep on swimming too far away or dashing into their grab attack and then getting killed by the other's needle swarm. Divine Confetti lasts way too little.

Try deflecting and moving around more while watching him, these enemies have long attack strings that they will continue even if they whiff

>I'm a shitter

Well I was trying to learn. He was too fast for me the 5 previous times so I thought" ok, slow down, guard a bit and learn what his attacks are, then deflect once you have a sense" but APPARENTLY guarding just gets you killed in two hits.

you dont need... divine confetti

1. Camera got fucked, don't back into a corner.

2. He broke your posture because he's a tough as fuck enemy while you're relatively shit in comparison.

3. Stop playing like a game journalist, have some self-respect and don't make embarrassing threads unless you're genuinely asking for tips.

Faggot

I know. It just helps me kill them faster.

Yeah, guarding usually isn't viable. Keep in mind that this is enemy is meant to be fought later as well.
Let your reactive side take over. Maybe you're not on your A-game today either. Some days with From games I need to take a day's break until I continue playing again, because I mess up and repeat the same mistakes.
The combat didn't click for me until I beat the boss at Ashina Castle. He forces you to get good at the game, and learn to deflect correctly.

That looks like a dude held a weapon art button down on you in souls.

Pro tip: The mechanics allow you to kill enemies without ever getting hit.

Git gud.

Well now you've learned that if you just guard against him, he'll eviscerate your posture.
Try keeping your distance now, and punish him once you're confident that you know how his attack patterns will play out. He hits like a truck, but he also takes a while to recover after his combos.

>What the fuck were they thinking?
"Let's make a game kind of similar to Dark Souls, but requires a different style of play to complete."
Seriously. You can't just stand there tanking hits in this game. Dodge and observe patterns, get the deflect timing down. Learn the tells and avoid/punish the unblockables.
Also, the camera is occasionally actual dogshit, so you need to fight that guy down the stairs in the open area.

But yeah, what that other guy said. This particular enemy is pretty difficult considering the amount of playtime you have when you first encounter him. Bosses increasingly test your ability to parry, there really isn't any alternative play styles like in Dark Souls. You kinda HAVE to do it.
And don't forget that the lower something's health, the slower they recover their posture, including you.

I keep on getting killed by the terror needles.

Just wait until you get to the lone shadow warriors. Haha who am I kidding you won't get that far.

the effort it took to make a webm and shitpost could have been used to learn his attack patterns

based dabbing on retarded op

you cant stealth him, and hes definitely beatable. hes an endgame enemy with hard hitting attacks but if you beat him while you're first starting out, you'll be more prepared for challenges later.

op is a videogame journalist
>dies once
>WOWWWWW THIS GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT FUN 2/10

Got them. Thanks to the user who told me to kill the twin first
