Game's Great but Stamina regen is a Problem!

[Leither]

I loved my time playing this game and it was a blast to finish. However, Stamina regeneration was a big problem in some of the later boss fights. It's just too slow for no other reason but to make it artificially harder to counter some of the faster bosses.

Overall: 9.25/10 Amazing Title!

You have a lot of skills later on to mitigate that stamina loss, using the gepetto chair, you got less stamina on attack, you even have a amulet that lets you dodge without stamina, but when you run out use the special attacks, they consume the blue bars and can be used even without stamina.
Yeah i got that Gael vibe on the last area too, but thats just the start, the story is not as obscure as fromsoft though, gotta disagree there, dark souls games you have to read a lot of itens descriptions and even watch some youtube channels to get the full story hehehe.

Not to mention always out of Stamina, and it literally at times takes up to 5+ seconds for the stamina bar to start ticking up again slowly. You're literally left without any options: You can't attack for upto 10 seconds at a time, you can't guard or get broken instantly by the boss. WTS is this Jank crap about? Not to mention, the end area has that crappy stolen theme of Gael from DS3, it's like literally a copy of that annoying theme playing nonstop throughout the whole last chapter of the game. I had to play music over it so I wouldn't vomit listening to it nonstop for hours on.
The story goes from decent to a complete From Software nonsense by mid game.

Stamina management is something you'll learn playing souls games.
This game you can parry with no stamina, parrying is the game.

Get better man. Watch some gameplay videos on youtube.

End game stage does feel like they run out of ideas. It all just empty spaces, not something you would imagine people live in.

[Stray Dawg]

I mean. They aren't even being rude. This is just an actual Skill Issue. I will agree to an extent that stamina is a little more rough to manage than in most souls-likes. But it's really not all that bad once you get the hang of it. Also.. Patience Amulet is a life saver

I didnt get that feeling from late areas, and places where people dont live or wont is not a rare thing anyway. I mean, swamps full of scrapped puppets and lost island temples are not exactly prime realstate.

Sounds like OP is playing the game encumbered. This will not just slow you down, but also cause endurance issues.

I suggest keeping your encumbrance below 60%, which you will generally need quite a lot of capacity to do. I consider capacity to be the best stat in the game for this reason as it is the only stat not to have any caps.

I beat the game with 15 stamina or whatever it is called. Stamina management tends not to be much of an issue in this game if you plan around it.

I level capacity even with my health stat, keeping the numbers the same.

[gungadin22000]

Doesn't really seem worthwhile to me, really, considering that health starts giving out diminishing returns quite early whereas capacity just keeps piling on more and more carrying capacity.

One of my main criticisms of LoP is that I reached the soft caps of what seemed to be my main stats (health, damage stat) quite early in the game and then pretty much just threw the rest of my points into capacity. Stamina I left at 15, no more really seemed to be needed for as long as you play somewhat intelligently.

Another point of technique adding +1 to my weapon damage at level 25ish? Not too impressive. More high-level without having to go overencumbered? Yes please.
