Keep killing myself when throwing knives....

[Jarek Defiler]

So I'm trying to do this completely retarded and unfun "Death by a Thousand Cuts" mission. About 700 tries in and realizing the counter system is completely borken and useless, I decided to give up on fighting with the knife, instead opting for a "throw knife, pick up knife and throw again" strategy. This works a decent amount except when the knives bounce off the enemy ai like rubber and flies 20 feet in the air. There's also the fun "knife randomly decides not to hit target that is directly in front of you and vanishes into the background."

But the best part is, I keep killing myself with them. If I throw the knife and it decides it doesn't want to work and just bounces off the ai, it will then reflect back at me and instantly kill me. This is happening over and over again and I cannot beat this trash mission because of it. If I get hit with poison once I pretty much just restart because I have no desire to get motion sickness from a grey swaying screen the entire fight.

So how the ♥♥♥♥ does one beat this crap dressed up like a mission?

I saved it for after I finished the story. I went in wearing whatever outfit made counters easier to do and the last move you learn from collecting all the statues. It worked for awhile, but I ended up just getting their knifes and throwing them at them. Running and picking up the knifes, then running away from a group helps.

Having face boosts help too I think, it's been awhile since I've done it. I always laughed when I threw a knife at an enemy it bouned off.
