Air Impulse

[Sliske]

How do I do this? I keep pressing down and y (I'm on the Switch) after hitting an enemy in the air or hitting the enemy with this button combination but all I do is fall, no gain in height is seen.

If I am not mistaken there is an artifact that you have to put in your rosary bead.

All it does is pop you up a tiny bit to momentarily to keep you from falling, letting you swing again.

You can do this twice per jump, plus one normal swing as you drop. With a certain rosary... toe... you can do it three times instead of two.

Most of the game this isn't useful, but there are a few enemies and bosses where it helps.

This till doesn't tell me how to do it, I don't stall in the air either.

Jump and, during your downward arc, hold down and tap Y. You have to actually hit an enemy, you can't do it without something to hit. If you hold Y, you'll do the down stab attack instead.

Then compare it to jumping and tapping Y to hit an enemy without holding down.

Pretty much what TreasureCat states. Keep holding down and tap the attack button whilst hitting the enemy in the air. Initially I was tapping both down and the attack button and kept executing the downward thrust attack.

So I have to hit the enemy on the way down whilst holding y and down on the d-pad?

Hold down, tap Y for Air Impulse. You can do two impulses and then the third will just be a normal swing.

Hold down and hold Y for the downward thrust (after you've purchased it, of course).
