Bash

[princessmelia18]

Hi! I just got bash and am having issues using it. Anyone else struggle with pointing in the correct direction? Angles are especially difficult

Bash is damn impossible to aim if you are using a keyboard only.

If you're a keyboard user, try reaching over for the mouse during a bash. You can aim the bash with the mouse cursor.

it needs some practice but you con do allot of creative things with it. what control layout do you use?

I'm using an off brand x-box controller. I bought it for this game because im crap at keyboard and mouse

In that case, I think you just need practice. I use the XBox One controller myself (been gaming with controllers since 1989), and I didn't feel what I would consider fairly comfortable with bash until about the time I beat the game the third time. It's not you and it's not the controller, it's just that the technique is unlike anything that existed in any game before Ori, so obviously something totally new is going to take some getting used to. Luckily, you don't have to totally master it to beat the game. You just have to become OK at it in a hurry to escape the Ginso Tree once you have Sein restore the element core.

I hope this doesn't come off rude, but do you know that you can hold the bash button. Then rotate the left stick. It gives you a good 2 seconds to aim.

- Corrected right stick to left stick.

Left Stick. Right Stick isn't used in Ori.

Encountered a similar problem when going through the puzzles of the Ginzo Tree. I feel the situation's more difficult because with a touchpad mouse system, inputs get confused (for instance I use a Charge Flame instead of a Bash). To top it off, the sensitivity is difficult since half the time the game has trouble reading the mouse input, meaning instead of a Bash I fall into the thorns and die.

Using a separate USB mouse presents its own share of problems too. I've been used to arrows rather than WASD input, so it feels slow when I try to change from a Bash to a jump.

And my computer can't read an Xbox 360 USB input...

There's always keyboard only.
I don't have a controller and I personally found keyboard + mouse to be kinda awkward to use so I switched to keyboard only and I'm doing just fine.

I tried your method.
The keyboard does help solving the problem since I can do the arrow controls, jump and bash.
It's not perfect, but it helps.
