Some Newbie asking Question to the Veterans

[Shinrok]

just 3 Questions

1. where are good farming spots
2. how 2 parry
3. i heard the strongest blade is right before final boss fortinbras what do i have to do to get it

If I remember right, you can do critical hits one of two ways:

> 1 - by defeding right before the enemy attack connects, knocking the enemy off balance, then attacking right after;

> 2 - attacking just before the enemy attack connects; - this one was very hard for me to pull off;


Enemies I think respawn infinettly so just progressing in the game and occasionally backtracking will you be just fine. you can also upgrade the sword and magic seperatly

About the sword I think you need to collect a few items scattered across the map, but I can't remember if it unlocks something else or the sword.


I hope that was of some help!

You'll get used to countering enemies as long as you continue to train. Also with some enemies (like the short yellow ones with spikes on their back) you can instantly crit them as they are spawning in and they spawn in through like a blue flame portal type of thing if I remember right. The last weapon is the Bishamon sword and yea that blade is op leading up to the last boss you one-shot the enemies there and its those tentacle bastards Reynoldo if my mind serves me right. If I remember right you have to complete the demon realm and thats by talking to the weird old man hanging from the ceiling in like a cocoon, its very difficuly especially for your first time but once you beat it you get like a Bishamon ocarina and you use that to open the door revealing the Bishamon sword at the very end.

thanks again to everyone who answered my questions

Can you start a NG+ run with the Bishamon sword from the start and the upgrades?

As an addendum, the demon realm is also a great place to grind some souls. You can go in as many times as you want and, I think, are able to come back out every fifth level? Might be every tenth, something like that. Jumping in and out after the earlier stages is a great, if tedious and slow, way to level up in preparation for the deeper levels/late game

Yes, but you have to beat the Oni Spirits Mini-game first, which may be difficult for first timers, but there are walkthrough videos to help you out with that.
