holy shit i love it.

Admittedly I've only cleared the first few bosses (just did the one you can slam with pillars) but so far they seem relatively fair after a few tries learning their movesets. Why are the same people who lap up Souls bosses crying about them so much?

yes but you will run out on bosses where you want to use bow to stagger like flying cocksucker McGee bosses (they regen slowly)

The one I got is 40% chance not to use arrows

They were much spongier before. They get worse. Mostly they are an exercise in spamming food.

there's like 2 other guys that are the same boss, just bring like 30 arrows extra and you're good, the replenishment arrows worked for everything else outside of that

Flying bosses are dogshit. Its either arrow spam or focus shield repulse of their projectiles over and over until posture break and then repeat same again until they're dead. They really should have added some air melee options.

It's starting to seem like the intended way to play is clearing out most of the side quests and unlocking new factions before moving to a new region and main story part. I'm triple digit hours and I don't even have constellations or loli research. But there's so much shit behind sanctums and abyss puzzles too. It's impossible to beat the game and naturally have it all.

what the fuck is that

I'm 50 hours in and haven't left Hernand yet...

>>736195696
you might be able to use flash to knock him down like the other faggots, but focus arrow slows time and lets you shoot him with like 5 arrows at once to fill up the stagger bar like 75% so that's why I like it for that

Took me 50 hours to leave Hernand too. I want to go back. Everyone in Demeniss is hostile. Although I did find a crocodile in a wildlife park which was cool.

There is a seemingly endless amount of untagged stuff to see and do that is interesting in this game. I think that's the point. Rewarding exploration. I love it. But one thing you can do to improve exploration is using Better Minimap and Map Tweaks with JSON Mod Manager.
Pic unrelated.

>>736198694
So far the only exploit fixes they've done have preserved traversal methods people liked while reducing the way they can be used to cheese combat.
I'm assuming your picture is related to the focus mode > aerial roll > exit focus to get a huge speed boost while gliding? If so they aren't going to patch that out.

When will they ley me turn off the fucking map? I wanna get lost

It's clearly intended. It even has a special animation.

probably not even an exploit just something they left in

I've been getting a bug on and off today where enemies won't show up on the minimap

>>736199050
ive been getting that for days, it fixes itself you dont even need to reload

>>736198905
Yeah like why would they let you to unleash focus in the air if not for this lol. Games UI always show you available button options when you're doing something for a reason.

>>736199381
bro...
These aren't even really puzzles; the 'trick' is finding the one or two missing pieces in the ruins

>>736199381
kek, really anon?

>>736199381
Pieces are on mini map. Also after you put in pieces light up your sword at that symbol for something fun. You need kuku pot to store items though.

So does that first dye vendor only deal with red dyes?
Because i've used other ones, but they don't show up at him.

>>736198905
its an obvious exploit, just doesnt reset the movement speed because you cancel the animation. and no that animation isnt special its just the unleash animation.

but the game plays 10 times better with infinite stamina and the speedboost, it was very stupid to ship the game with the version of flight they did.

>>736199590
Each region only does one color, its not till you get the person in camp, basically the last group of people you can even recruit, that allows you barber+dye

>>736199381
Find the piece on the minimap. Stick it in your kuku pot to make it easier to carrier back and put it on top of the pillar.

it almost feels like this game jjust came out yesterday.

>>736199642
i wonder what the point of that was, i have my camp dye vendor before i even found 3 different dye vendors in the world

>>736198694
>>736198905
>>736199627
Its definitely an unintended effect of their most recent patch allowing the player to interrupt focus with evasion. Before then you could not break focus with a dodge roll, and as such this interaction did not exist.

>>736199758
yeah it's 100% not intended, it literally bugs at the end of it when you're trying to land and makes you pop forward a little bit. i'll try to record a clip later if i can

>>736199758
Whats the point of natures snare mid air then? Like it has zero purpose apart from this.

fuck me. I had the column piece lined up yesterday but didn't realize I needed to aerial palm force it in. kept the piece in my kuku pot the whole day damn day

after deliberating on it for a while i've decided anyone who doesn't like this game is a faggot who doesn't truly love video games

>>736199758
Last time they saw a glitch people liked they just made it a feature in the game. I'm sure it'll happen again with this

>>736199861
>didn't realize I needed to aerial palm force it in.
Nigga game directly shows that to you by having big ass green focus particle effects around the piece.

>>736199847
That's not nature's snare, that's just focus. Nature's snare is the vortex that absorbs projectiles, and it does the same in midair.

You can use focus in midair for the same reason you use it on the ground: slows time and regens spirit.

how are you supposed to learn about hippos and rhinos to add them to the codex when you come across them? just came across some at the circus but theyre not registering even when you shine the lamp on them?

>>736199965
what was the last one?

>>736200025

>>736200043
You could stab in the air and fly across the entire map by chaining stabs. Now you do a cool animation but it takes extra stamina.

>>736199970

wait this is crazy
is this a hidden post-puzzle or an easter egg?

>>736200145
It's a really important puzzle so you can use the stuff from it for the kuku pot items.

>>736199965
>>736200106
I could see them making it an official interaction and just nerf it, make it take more stamina or more spirit or something like that.

But I kinda think they should just remove it. They already made gliding incredibly fast and easy with the latest patch. Leaving this in just invalidates other travel methods and stamina costs even further.

>>736200145
Post puzzle. It gives you something you use to craft shit later on.

the quality of some of these "puzzles" are questionable, just did the abyss island with the giant rings you need to reconstruct, was less of a puzzle and more like slave work

>>736200145
Also it isnt even hidden. Whenever you see this type of crystal you always try to light shit on it. First puzzle in the game showed this. In general majority of puzzles have patterns you learn from puzzles you did before.

>>736200302
The idea is always there, and its a cool idea, but the controls of the game and also having to either glide and climb or use the shitty platform to get around just adds to the annoying factor.

Apparently the quest was for going to a specific area and since I already went there it just auto completed.

Without shilling or shitting, what do you actually do in this game? It looks like they just took every game genre and mechanic and rolled it into a burrito. I don't actually know what the game even is.

>>736200302
Yeah some puzzles are easy as fuck but tedious and i think they're designed that way on purpose. Today i found puzzle where you need to move around and connect bunch of blocks to create painting correctly and to move them you had to use janky stab instead of just being able to fucking focus punch them.

>>736200443
you shill and shit, you get more points for shitting first and then shilling even though the reverse is easier

>>736200302
Most of them are quite good. There's a few that are stupidly simple. I just did one where the puzzle was literally flying across a chasm and standing on a button. That's it.
Others involve lasers,moving platforms,careful positioning etc.

yeah i'm about to savescum my high risk investments, i feel no shame

>>736200068
in the middle of the circus?
>>736200101
havent found this yet, thanks ill keep an eye out for it

I sort of agree but the cool factor kinda outweighs my want for balance
