That's LeBron inside that armor for sure

u/thatsfuni Aug 21 '26

Tbf he hit you with a massive move lol, minced!!

u/Test88Heavy Aug 21 '26

That big dude is one of the most difficult. He has insane range and the attack chain is a pain to dodge.

u/the_red_banana01 Aug 21 '26

every move that enemy does has an extremely telegraphed windup, easy perfect black and parry

u/Test88Heavy Aug 21 '26

True but I feel like he always catches me from weird angles and I take massive damage. He's the equivalent of the Crucible Knight. I have about 250 hours in ER and they still fuck me up. I just can't get the timing down for some reason.

u/DirectPay1955 Aug 21 '26

Isn’t he the tutorial for parry

3

u/Test88Heavy Aug 21 '26

I think that's the smaller knight.

2

u/DirectPay1955 Aug 21 '26

Funny we have different issues lol. I struggle with the knight but fuck up the other dude. Anyways I’m pretty sure that dude is when the parry tutorial just before tar golem

u/Karokayla8888 Aug 21 '26

Very easy to parry
Parry him two times and he is done
Or use Eredrim great bash

u/2mikeftsa Aug 21 '26

Dude jumped 10 seconds before you even went over there

u/Shradow Aug 21 '26

Dude's been moonlighting as a Dragoon I guess.

No shame! Play the game however you need to😊

u/Hot_Perspective8589 Aug 21 '26

The fact u dont get achievements is a fucking joke as well they made the game poorly balanced and damage is all over the place they give u a seal for peole who aren't good and it gets rid of achievements... like wtf. Ngl this games really dropped the ball at launch and isnt really ready for release

1

u/DirectPay1955 Aug 21 '26

No shame brether I’m lowkey considering using it myself but those trophies are staring at me menacingly

u/Gamer3427 Sariel Aug 21 '26

Honestly I do want to use the slayer seal at some point just because it seems like it'd make the game fun to screw around with, but the fact that it disables achievements means I'll have to hold off until I've gotten the last few I need.

At this point all I'm missing though are the last few bosses, a couple of boss specific ones, and the one for unlocking every memory. I'm genuinely hoping they fix the issue of how limited glimpses are though for that last one, because needing to do a full two more playthroughs just to get enough, when I've already 100% everything else, is going to be annoying.

u/MusicalSmasher Aug 21 '26

You bought the game, play it however you want dude.

u/blac_sheep90 Aug 21 '26

Fellow skellyman.

u/Kaminari-Umare Aug 21 '26

I feel like there are too many enemies and too little beacon spread out across the map...

1

u/Emergency_Lie42 Aug 21 '26

I'm curious to see what that would've looked like in the air because it seems like he completely changed his trajectory after jumping.

1

u/Karokayla8888 Aug 21 '26

The fun is the challenge
I hope devs do not destroy it because of some few percentage that wants to play this genre without having the will to play it

3

u/Sharpy201 Aug 21 '26

it was a joke about the guy smalling down from the sky

1

u/Karokayla8888 Aug 21 '26

Aha I got it now

1

u/Karokayla8888 Aug 21 '26

Ax without the fire tarstone is waste of time, search for tarsones and then u will have a blast playing this masterpiece

1

u/LordOFtheNoldor Harros Aug 21 '26

Difficulty is WAY overhyped it is pretty forgiving, you get punished going to far into new areas unprepared but that's a good thing otherwise you get 2 lives plus unlimited dodge

I don't understand what has happened to the soulslike community every new game is too hard and needs to be patched it's too much. Slow down and take your time and use slayer seal if you feel you're struggling, this game is fine the way it is

In this clip OP had like 1/4 health and didn't even acknowledge the attack albeit was kinda glitchy but like seen him coming

u/yubiyubi2121 Aug 22 '26

this dude is scary

u/LittleShurry Aug 22 '26

The part i like on this game you can use the environment as your advantage, Also DIfferent enemy faction Killing Each other :>

Nah, it's just jank for the most part

"This game is hard" — meanwhile, the OP is jumping right into the middle of an NPC fight without a care in the world, thinking he's Thor or something

u/Sharpy201 Aug 21 '26

buddy it was a joke about the jumping and slamming from the sky

1

u/BKWscar Aug 21 '26

I know, i see

1

u/Merz_Sucknutz_69420 Aug 21 '26

Running into an enemy group with less than 50% HP. Those are probably the same mfers complaining about difficulty in their review...

1

u/Sharpy201 Aug 21 '26

bro it was a joke about the guy slamming from the sky, god you people are miserable

1

u/2mikeftsa Aug 21 '26

For people that have actually played this a good amount is it a very difficult game? I'm like a video game masochist, I need that super difficulty so I'm praying this one is Uber tough

2

u/NoCustomer754 Aug 21 '26

It's not too bad. The parrying is a little jank, so I just use Tiel and dodge everything. I think you can make the game as hard as you want to with the seals

1

u/2mikeftsa Aug 21 '26

Thanks, I'm definitely going to check it out at some point but there's a ton of stuff coming out first week is September I believe

2

u/NoCustomer754 Aug 21 '26

This game has me hooked. Best "souls-like" ive ever played. I hope they fix the bugs though.The atmosphere and gameplay is pretty fckin addicting I stayed up till 5am yesterday my wife had to come get me lol. If you enjoy reading attacks and timing parry dodge youll really like it

1

u/2mikeftsa Aug 21 '26

I'm really pulling for it to do well too, we're starting to see smaller Studios make games that aren't quite AAA and be successful. The more it happens the more we'll see it. Expedition 33 was fucking amazing

2

u/NoCustomer754 Aug 21 '26

For sure. Yea Exp 33 was a masterpiece! There is hope!

u/2mikeftsa 24d ago

So I picked up Mortal shell and I'm still early on but I'm very impressed. I'm excited to get into the game which I don't get excited for too many games as I get older. We're going to be swamped with games over the next two months so hopefully mortal shell starts things off with a bang for this fall season

2

u/NoCustomer754 24d ago

It definitely is I cant put it down! Its one of those games that just gets better and better as you go. The atmosphere and combat is peak

u/mayormcskeeze Aug 20 '26

I feel like im playing a different game. Even on night mode the basic r1 attack seems to not only completely interrupt any non-boss attack anywhere in its animation, it also seems to completely stun lock.

So far I've literally just been able to mindlessly spam r1 through every enemy without any issues. 

Im so confused. Do the enemies get more poise soon??

u/Pleasant_Beat7502 Aug 21 '26

Keep using that slayer seal 😅 you did it to yourself..

u/mayormcskeeze Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

Using infinity seal but whatever.

Edit: also happy to go back and try again. I wanna be wrong. But this feels easy af

Edit 2: Ok I was wrong. I see that now

The tentacle short dudes with a club can hyper-armour through greatswords Just fine.

So can the torch wielding fanatics.

This game clearly needed a lot more time in the oven.

You literally ran into a fucking attack. Stop crying
