Brother Asterion post patch

[bigsnakejake]

Every time I parry I get knocked back. Every video I see online of this there is no knock back. Was this part of the patch? Did they nerf this because it was the strategy people were using?

Yes, they intentionally removed one of the only ways to deal damage without exposing oneself to cheap 40-60% health blows :)

I saw videos where this move could be endlessly exploited, so instead of fixing the flawed logic that pushed Asterion to keep doing the same mistake over and over, they just removed a core mechanic.

Perfect parries is now useless against this boss.

The devs balance-patched this already cheap unfair and ill-designed boss in the wrong direction *sight*

you're in luck, I just made a no damage video post patch.

The fight is pretty easy even without parrying. Only the spinny move is kinda busted.
