Its the yellow wind sage's fault!

I've never done this before, but I installed a trainer to deal with this guy. I guess I've finally accepted that I'm not going to ever complete this game without using some kind of crutch.

Feels... odd. It took me ages to beat the first tiger, and it was a nice sense of accomplishment when he finally went down. Kinda sucks... but I'm really enjoying this game and want to finish before I get burned out on it.

Maybe I'll try again some day on a NG+

nah, just practice resolute counter timing

and play this like music dance drumbeat rhythm game
dont spam too much attack button unless opponent is knocked off balance/ immobilized
during boss's average speed combo
always just do 1 hit and have ur finger on dodge button to ready for incoming attack.

Understandable, I won't say skill issue or cheating but I get that sometimes these type of games is not for everyone. At the end of the day, some people wanna experience the awesome story and have fun! Nothing wrong with that!

That being said, you can try watching some guides and strats online that are really helpful. Use the wind chime vessel, use all your spells whenever they reset. Stance attacks are also great, especially thrust. Study attack patterns and time your dodges! Good luck! I know you can do it!

I mean if you just stuck at it and beat him. It took me a few tries but I eventually got him.

Do the drunken boar quest. The item you get makes the yellow sage a breeze (pun intended).

Think of it like training to get used to the combat with a safety net, you can always turn it off or replay once you get the hang of things.

Give it another try later without a trainer and I'd bet you'll find yourself much improved (As long as you're still engaging with the mechanics and not face tanking everything)

Thanks for the positive comments.

I’m finding it to be very helpful for having fun. I’ve only turned it on for a boss after I’ve made a few attempts at it.

The rest of the game it isn’t even running.

The trainer lets me progress and experience the game rather than spend multiple irl days just banging my head on the same boss over and over.

I did manage captain what his name (laser dude), without help.

Otoh that boss on the frozen lake I did crutch through it after my 5th fail.

My hand-eye coordination isn’t what it was a few decades ago. I still like these games.

Some built in difficulty setting would sure have been nice.
