if you get knocked down its an instant restart

Pretty much. Although with the current build of the demo, by holding G or the "give up" key briefly, repetitively, the AI backs off and it gives time to heal and stand up. Doesn't work 100% of the time but it's a slimey way to not lose the entire run.

not exactly, one time I managed to recover just enough to stab the dude trying to finish me off.

mangosteenqeen has the right idea. You can sorta cheese several feigns of surrender to buy yourself enough time to compose yourself and frick off.

It's a really bad place to be in though, especially with low armor.

ONCE i managed to stab the guy clobbering my groin with hammer, with dagger to ankle and won :) usually i just die though after 5mins of screaming wailing my arms around and trying to grab the scythe....

i have a few clips where ive wiggled out of a really scarry situation and somehow survivied. you gotta orient your body somehow and looking up also helps the guy focus on getting up. you can also spam grab and somehow grab onto the enemis weapon and use that for some momentum XD

[Rizzle Nightbug]

you can press alt f4 and it resets your to your last boss checkpoint.

I fell while wielding the scythe and managed to cut the sword arm off but he finished me with his shield...

If you can somehow draw a knife while your front is facing the enemy, you probably can win.

^this. basically "hold tap" it, make sure the give up bar isnt full, and just... give moment for the enemies to back off a bit.

If you can grab the NPC's hands or legs you have a fighting chance. I also always keep a knife stashed in my inv i can pull out to slash some ankles in case i end up on the ground. I survive about 40% of my falls.

since the topic brought up again, remember to have 3rd or 4thweapon on person.

those will always be in handly

I had a dagger in a recent game I stabbed a guy in the ankle with. He was nearly unhittable behind me though

[Goser]

we need better defense control when knocked down.

[SOEL]

^Faster crawling and better arm control when prone
