The friggin spider queen

[VaZRable]

This crap is unplayable. I've figured out ive got to connect the hooks with flowers, but no matter how many times i tried to do that - game refuses to do so. I've checked the walkthrough and I just don't understand how people tend to perform the same actions and get the needed results. God, the man who came up with that bossfight idea was pretty dumb. It stopped the whole walkthrough just because the tech side is broken, despite the mechanics understanding. Jeez.

Uhh are you okay man?
Because that boss fight is like super easy because its the first one???
Like, what kind of technical problems are you having? As long as you connect the blossom and the hook correctly, it should work with no problems.
I'm not exactly sure what the problem you're having is so I'm not sure how to help.

Fight must be super easy but the game wont recognize any of the vine lines. If i make one - it happens just of pure luck.
As I said, game refuses to recognize the line between the hook and the blossom. This is not the first time I encounter that - fishing busted my nerves too.

I think there must be a problem with whatever controller or keyboard you're using, it really should be working just fine. Just to be 100%, are you drawing a line from the blossom to the hook? A generally straight line?

As straight as it is possible with mouse. I've tried doing that fast, tried slow - nothing has changed. So I tend to think they must've done something to this game, since people do the same in walkthrough videos.

It only works with one single uninterrupted stroke at a time. If you accidentally lift the brush or make a dot or something it won't reconize. Counting the amount of strokes seems to be a key part in how the game interprets what you're drawing.

Without any details I can only assume that this might be the problem.

Maybe it is connected to low resolution I am using. The camera angle is awful aswell and it can't be changed, so having a needed blossom and hook on screen in the same time is a challenge aswell. Man, the easiest in theory fight became a mess just because of the line recognition and camera angle. I'm not even mad or angry anymore. Just confused. Game was awesome until this.

Problem solved. In fact, you need to start drawing line only from blossom, not from the hook. Otherwise, there will be no green glow, which indicates you're doing the vine move. Thanks for your feedback anyway.

Yes, can confirm the direction you draw the line from is how the game tells what is being drawn. The flower is the 'source' of the vine, not the hook. It works that way in Okamiden, the sequel, but not in Okami.

there may also be curse zones on the boss if i remember which prevent any ink strokes that touch it to be wiped, either way there should be no technical problem with linking the flower to the spider's hook. You can also rotate your camera in the paint zone to get a better angle.

It would be nice for you to update the review
