The Door QTE

[Dark Light]

Of the thousand of games I've played in my life, this is the first time I "fail" in a QTE.

I was (I think) at the end of Chapter 1 with Sophie, reaching the Attic. Then the Darkness tries to bust the door open. I pressed A as fast as I could, and sometimes RT when I saw a dark hand trying to reach me.
In the end, I failed and lost my first character. So I decided to take a break and stop for the night.

I know Sophie doesn't have a lot of strength, but it seemed to be clearly my fault.

So can someone explain this QTE strategy to me again ?

Do I have to smash A + RT simultaneously ? Or only A, and sometimes RT ?

Hi Tango.

You can access the tutorials at any time (menu - tutorials) and check how to face the Presence again.

Anyway, what you need to do is press A as fast as possible and accumulate as much strenght as you dare, then push RT. If you push it too early, you will have very few strength accumulated, but if you push it too late... x_x

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, I appreciate. It seems more clear like that, I didn't get the "accumulate strength" part.

I'll start a new game and try again.

The trick to this game is to always try to fill up the bar with A unless it's filling slowly. If it's going to fill up in less than 2 seconds, fill it up before you hit RT. Less-than-full door pushes do very little!
