Why does this game insist on throwing stun lock nonsense at me? Just reached the harbor town, now need to beat three mooks as Yuri but the bastards attack so fast I just get stunlocked. Did I forget a mechanic, am I supposed to master using critical guard by this point? I haven't been skipping out on battles and am equipped with the best I can get.
Even the wolf boss prior was a pain, though that was more it doing like 200 a swing and having protection half the time.
Am i supposed to just grind to the point of absurdity or some shit? I honestly don't recall dealing with this kind of nonsense in prior entries.

The wolf boss is the hardest boss in the game

The first Zagi fight should have taught you to block

If you haven't already, you might want to master the manual cancel technique. It will save you a lot of trouble against multiple enemies.

never understood why people thought the wolf boss was hard, unless they meant the demo back on the 360 which was a little screwy since you were technically under-level. the best form of action is to shortcut rita's fireball and always have her spamming that spell. in all honesty, when you get it to 10 fireballs it's probably the most broken magic in the game for being one of the first.

I am blocking but with three of the mother fuckers it's proving difficult to not eventually get stun locked.
Thing is I'd actually believe that, then the characters had the gall to say how "easy it was" when they were getting 2 shotted like it was nothing.

Im currently 50 hours in on my first playthrough, and the wolf boss just does a lot of damage. Bosses afterwards are pretty simple, the last boss i did was level 48 and i managed to beat them at level 43. Grinding seems like a post game thing in any tales of game because leveling off of mobs takes forever.

Question for people experienced with this game: am o supposed to have mystic artes in chapter 3. Im pretty sure i am nearing the final battle, and the last 3 bosses had mystic artes. I dont.

I believe you get the weapon that has the special skill in the Baction shrine place.

Karol gets his mystic arte before anyone else if you sleep at Dahngrest five times in a row for no reason in the middle of act 2

Avoiding spoilers i have *that* regarding aer sword. Maybe i missed how to use it.

Free running on manual mode can lead to attack cancels to cut back on the recovery animations. You can get out of nasty situations as well as stunlocking most enemies to death (unless they come in numbers)
Too lazy to explain it. Google it on youtube
