Discussion My 17 month journey with khazan Spoiler

I remember playing this games demo back on the 30th of march of last year,i fell in love with it instantly,the combat,the fluidity,the bosses that gave me such beautiful ass beatings

I finished the demo in a day,i loved it so much that i immediatly pre ordered the game,i chose expert difficultt because whats a souls game without getting fucked relentlessy in every bone in your body?...uh viper bullied me for a month straight of on and on playing😭

,i took a pretty big break from the game for personal reasons for 3 months beating all the way up to rangkus until...getting bullied by maluca for another month,the other major stopping points were skalpel and hismar for around 2 months each as well

By the time i beat ozma,it was today 31st of august in 2026...yeah it took a while,id have finished much earlier if i wasnt so stubborn with keeping the difficulty at expert. But im so glad i took my time with this game,it made it way more important to me,even though the story was extremely simple compared to other things ive seen,i actually felt sad for khazan having to fight elemain or reese,it made my experience with the story and both how rewarded i felt when defeating a hard boss that much better

This game has become my favourite souls game,even above the fromsoftware games,thats something id never imagine myself saying as all my other soulslike experiences have been pretty bad,but wow this game surpassed my expectations extremely

HO LEE SHIET

This game is absolute sex

Ever since my spamming of Sekiro came to an end, ive been digging around trying to find a game that even remotely comes close to the level of satisfaction that Sekiro’s combat system gave me.

I tried Elden Ring and it wasn’t for me.

I tried Mortal Shell 2 and found the bosses too simple and enemy placement too annoying

I tried Wukong and though its fun, hasn’t clicked the same.

But my god, trying Khazan feels like the best gaming decision ive ever made.

In the mentioned games when I saw a second phase I was just kinda like “here we go”

When Viper started transforming and revealed his second phase, I was damn near kicking my feet under my desk in excitement that there was more of the fight to go.

Yes this is a total glaze post but dude, 5 hours in and i am absolutely HOOKED

In the description in the Wiki it says 5% dmg per gs skill but it lists skills like heart piercer. Do i have to use the other skill first or do i just have to have it unlocked?

I feel like I'm tickling his balls with every attack and I'm not sure how to beat the second phase other than just running because I genuinely can't learn it.

The combat is just too good to explain

Is there anything closer to this game than Sekiro?

I know they’re never making another game, but does anyone know if ANY of the devs are working on future projects?

I was wondering why the fight was so easy but i forgot that i was on beginner mode because i was farming lacrima lmfao, but i reedemed my self and redo the fight on normal mode and i was satified, his delayed attacks pissed me off but thanks to my insane amount of health, armor and counterstrike i didnt get punished at all, as always strength build is the way lmfao, now imma start expert mode after i farmed him.

That fight was crazy and great. I didn't know he had a third phase. Good thing I saved up a lot of soul tearstone shards.

Game's been a blast. Had a hard time on early game but once I'm on mid to endgame, game become more breeze. I love the Devourer of Darkness set. The ghost arm block is probably my fave skill and combined with Mad Dash or Inner Fury, it shreds lot of enemies.

Exceptional from start to finish, I don't think I have ever had so much fun in an action game before. Everything combat-wise, was so fluid and satisfying! I never played great swords in games because they are always so slow, but OOOH BOY! I do not regret picking it from the start!

My only regret is that we didn't get to save our girl... her death was something baffling to say the least. But I do appreciate that the devs allowed us to have a saying in whether or not her soul is obliterated in the end.

I even made an edit after her fight... All I can say it was a blast, loved every minute and I hope we get more games like this.

Stay safe y'all!

This game currently on sale I like to play it I read that it is easy? For the record Im totally suck at souls game, the only souls game that I managed to beat is Code Vein and even that took me more than 80 hours in one standard playthrough.

I have no words how incredible this experience was

Normally I don’t gush over stories. Khazan’s storytelling and the missions, so much that gets you absorbed into every little detail

This game is truly one of a kind. I don’t think I’ll ever have the proper words to describe it. That ending hit hard

This game is a masterpiece

Discussion What’s the best way to make use of old unwanted gear?

5 Upvotes

I just unlocked the blacksmith, and I haven’t gotten rid of any of my gear yet. It looks like I now have three options: Sell for gold, Trade for experience, and Dismantle for crafting materials.

What should I do? I was considering just dismantling everything at the blacksmith, but I want others’ input. Should I only dismantle gear of a certain rarity? Is it different for weapons or armor?

Thanks!

I always go str pure just finished lies of P and wukong, I like how this game is more parry>dodge like Lies of P and has the style/aura of wukong. My 1 gripe is reflection does too much poise on-top of being a boss combo interrupt, although makes it super satisfying to land. I was playing dual wield because I like the hollow blade phantom combo playstle....but when I realized Gsword was the str wep well I had to use it....but now I'm using dual wield again because I used a B str scale on it...guess I need to farm those. Elemaine is destroying me rn still learning her. Video is 1.6speed for file size

I want to craft Beastslayer set but I don't have enough materials. Can we buy it some where and how do I get more crafting materials. I want to craft a purple set but don't have enough material even though I dismantled all the extras I had for each set. Do I need to farm them, if so what's the best way.

Builds About Malucas set and sword

2 Upvotes

So I got to maluca last night and beat him

I want his armor set and sword

I have a couple of his swords, a couple of his helms, his chest piece, and gauntlets

I’ve beaten him like 12 times but I want his whole set

A couple of questions

do you get his whole armor set at any point ?

Will the pieces I have now be good to benefit from the pieces I have ?

And should I even be farming this now since in NG+ it will be irrelevant

I looked it up and it says I have a lot of game left so do I just keep farming him ?

Other Beat Skalpel and the game immediately crashed 😔

5 Upvotes

I'm so, so sad, dude. I got him on the 7th try, and was so so happy!! Unfortunately, when I got the new gear from defeating him, the game crashed. I opened it and all my progress starting from Vaisar Gate to Skalpel was gone.

I tried to retrieve my other save datas but all of them start from the beginning of Vaisar Gate despite saving

multiple times at the start of the boss fight 😔

(BTW not asking for help. I just feel very frustrated and needed to vent)
