Vertical Slash *spoilers*

[AzureTheGamerKobold]

So i finally got to sundowner, and proceed to try and take him on, after dieing a few times i realize i was trying to do a veriticle slash but would always aim horizontal, after fiddling with the controls i found was NO way to actually change aim to verticle to make the precise cut, could HIT verticle slash but you had no way of knowing if it was lined up properly.

Baiscally no way to MANUALLY change the aim cursor of the slash from horizontal to vertical, this makes beating sundowner a freaking nightmare. Can try a free cut but chances are not gonna have it lined up right! so....

Is this a bug? or a bad port feature or what? i beat sundowner after many tries but, once his shields were gone i was fine was just getting to that stage of the fight... seems like a pretty big oversight in my opinion.

Basically if you use the right analog, he will atempt to do a slash rather then actually just aiming, i tested it several times, and no i'm saying when you enter blade mode, its set to horizontal slash, need to MOVED that slash to a vertical one to hit sundowners weak points. IF you use the right analog he with do a free slash! means he imediatly attacks rather then aiming.

Eh, I just ran away when Sundowner's shield needed a vertical cut to break. After he takes it down on his own and puts it back up again it will go back to a horizontal cut.

It's only really an issue if you're trying to go for no damage, makes the hard part take a lot longer.

I just waited for his charge and parry'd and sliced off the last shield AND no actually shield i had kept asking for a verticle slash over and over cause i thought that to, i think its probably just random. Anyway, i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, have to HOLD the analog one direction and he'll begin aim mode, then move it and release, is it HORRIBLE i am just now figuring that out >,<

youz have to use right analog to aim and then press the button that is normally horizontal slash, it doubles for the aimed slash

There is an alternate method to cut his shield. Wait for him to charge, parry, do the QuickTime event to pry his shield open and then cut it
