  It's crazy how someone can make it all the way to Corrupted Monk and completely miss the fact that posture regeneration is tied to HP damage.

  I’m confused why he handicapped himself when he played this game, the game tells you to use items pretty blatantly, firecrackers, snap seed, divine confetti, your arm prosthetic are SUPPOSED to be used so you’re not trying to deflect a bull that punishes you for doing so

  I'm always surprised that it's such a commonly held opinion that using items in souls games is cheese, they're so obviously intended to be used in specific instances.

  During that entire Corrupted Monk rant I was just like "Did he forget that enemies also have a normal health bar, and that Corrupted Monk only has one health bar?"

  The chained ogre exists to teach the player the importance of eavesdropping. This is why he's not meant to be defeated by deflecting, you're meant to eavesdrop and learn about his weakness to fire.

  "I have played through all endings and went through all the trials and know everything about the game to give this review." Proceeds to complain that the tutorial text boxes have too much info, didn't bother to read them, then doesn't know health affects posture recovery lol. Also, "I took the absolute worst path to play the game because it clearly hints for you to go to the top of the tower after defeating the bull and I ignored it completely and ran off in a random direction. I will now complain that these mid game enemies are too tough for my beginning skill level."

  I scrolled through so many comments to see if anyone mentioned it, but eventually gave up...<br>The freaking umbrella! So god damn O.P. for so many reasons. It can deflect, it can block, it can attack, it can make the Demon of Hatred so easy. Also the spear for Headless after you deflect the big horizontal attack. HUGE posture damage...<br>Generally going through this game without using, at least, prosthetics, is just making the whole experience worse.. You have so many options and tools that makes each boss encounter so much more fun and engaging, and you just ignored most of them, and then even complained about them being poorly designed. Never have I played a game this fun to master, and robbing yourself of most of it&apos;s mechanics is just a downright shame.

  Lone shadow duel boss is only duel boss if you choose enter from the window which is the wrong way. Game punishes you for skipping important places by making it 2v1 if you ran past and grappled everywhere. But it doesn&apos;t take the option away from you. The correct way &nbsp;enter is from the &nbsp;behind(from the inside of the castle) &nbsp;and stealth kill the first one. You may choose to use ninjutsu on that guy to make it 2v1 against the boss.

  I don&apos;t really understand your aversion to killing basic enemies. I absolutely adore this game&apos;s combat, and I love feeling like a god after mastering it, so I go out of my way to kill every single enemy in my way just because I can, often without taking any damage. It&apos;s immensely satisfying. It also gives me a reason to use all the different skills.

  “I don’t like that the player has to look up a guide for important items like gourd seeds on their first play through… also I ran through areas avoiding enemies and essentially disengaging with the game…”

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLklJ3aWPpc&amp;t=5040">1:24:00</a> the solution to the multi fight is to enter from the other direction and stealth kill the other enemy, which also gives the opportunity to use puppeteer to turn it into an ally for the fight, you’re supposed to think “wow this fight feels impossible right now” and then use the tools at your disposal to problem solve and make the fight manageable
