At gun fort. I think I quit.

[ExecutiveOdin]

When you first arrive at gun fort there are two riflemen and a heavy shotgun cannon guy.
If you try and fight the cannon guy first he shows, that with this huge bundle of pipes, he is better able to block, counter, strike, and dodge than you are. He can also fire multiple times in a row without reloading.
The two rifle guys around you will also pelt you with shots.
If you attack them first they are actually a little squishy but even still with their rifles they can block and counter better than you can and they have an unblocked thrust and unlimited ammo.

At this point I was really wondering why I haven't been able to pick up a rifle or a bow by now. There are ranged weapons literally everywhere but I have to rely on some very limited low damage shuriken that anyone can block with anything.

So then I continue toward the gun fort and find out hey I am being shot at by several guys with perfect accuracy unlimited range unlimited ammo and can see me through fog. Great.

Make it to the cliff at gun fort and come upon snake eyes. Snake eyes fights with a rifle too. His rifle does more damage than my sword, he is more durable than I am, he is faster than I am, he has unlimited ranged weapons, he like everyone else can counter attack faster than I can strike while I'm in mid combo, he has a huge damage unblockable grab than he can use over and over....

You know what? Snake eyes should have been hired to protect this whiny little brat. Let him do it.
I died to him over and over until I triggered dragon rot on four people at once and it just killed my will to play. I was already feeling bummed because I was expecting an RPG and instead got action parry simulator 2019.

It's like if you were playing dungeons and dragons and the DM made every single enemy in the game 100-1000% more capable of completing your mission than your character is. Also you only level when the DM arbitrarily says you can so you can never catch up to where you need to be to feel useful.

outside of the grab you can block snake eyes' entire moveset.

and failing that there's a ledge to the left that you can use to sneak attack if you lose aggro or use a sugar.

[Grad]

snake eyes is optional, just run up and jump on the left of where snake eyes is and there should be a wall hug point, just be fast because she will come around the corner and shoot you within 10seconds.

It was no secret that this wasn't going to be a traditional RPG game, and if you've ever played any of From's previous games then you would've known that too.

So you'd rather have it so that you're naturally stronger and more durable than the enemies you fight? Especially mini bosses that are supposed to be a bigger challenge? And no, he cannot counter faster than you because it is possible to counter even the spammiest attacks from a single enemy, and there are times where you can get free hits into him too. And his posture will eventually break as well.

And about the unblockable grab: I sincerely hope you did the tutorial that told you that you needed to dodge grab attacks, not try and block them.

just encountered that and honestly, its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I perfectly countered everything for a good 30 seconds right about now and just when is posture is aaaalmost broken, he suddenly hits through my deflect, instantly breaking my posture 2 hits and im toast.

Why on earth does this snake ♥♥♥ do so much damage with a ♥♥♥♥♥ rifle, let alone never having to reload that boomstick because why would we do that.

Its a bad fight, if the whole area is just that im thinkin about startin up the trainer again to one shot my way to an enjoyable location again.
I dont mind difficulty but if the health / damage difference feels like im playing ng++++ thats where im pullin the skip button.

[Bassettous]

Unless he goes to do the kick, you can just hit him and it cancels his attack. And if you see him about to do the unblockable, just dodge back and hit him after he does the swing

[❤ FL☰☰K⬤]

Dude just use the umbrella and run away lmao. Nobody said you had to fight every elite foe as soon as you see them.

[Contracoup]

I was having trouble with Snake Eyes until I tried Sabimaru. Apply poison (use ash to open him up if you have to) at the start of each lifebar. Then deflect a couple attacks. When he pauses, double ichimonji him. Repeat until dead.

[Eggsu]

I actually died so much to snake eyes, but i kept trying, and he's very easy when he does his combo, with a follow up kick, and quick shot, just be in melee and deflect his attacks , and when the kick happens side step it right after the kick, or another way is, when he shoots, or any gunners / bow, they're locked in that position , so you can quickly side step it or side-step run to them and whack them for few hits.

[Yoinkyz]

i dont understand some people if something is too hard come back later

[Indigo]

its almost like if you hit a wall in one area you go to another one, this isnt the games fault, this is yours.

[Sasha Mason]

Jeez all those whiny kids complaining about difficulty. Some of the earlier enemies were harder than the entirety of gun fort.

If he ever beats Snake Eyes I expect the next thread 30 minutes later. Giraffe will make him wish he'd still fight Snake Eyes :D

[FreshRevenge]

Would you like a glass for your tears?

[Kirkis]

I just want to say that Snake Eyes is female.

[Peshmerga]

All the enemies at the Gunfort are females lepers. They bandaged themselves to hide their disfigurement.

Kill the rifle ones quickly, spam attack to break their posture.

For the shotgun one. Stay close and jump onto her then jump kick off her again. You will dodge the blast and deal posture damage.
