no more snap seeds if you used them all?

[Bait]

Picked up snap seeds from the under pass, and used them all on the butterfly granny.
Any places where I can get more?

You can find and buy more later, but in all honesty Snap Seeds aren't a hard requirement. It just makes the phantoms a bit more annoying to deal with and adds one extra attack.

You can keep trying without them and win, eventually.

eventually it worked out

They help you keep pressure on her, but yeah, I just completely ignored the phantoms and kited the projectiles until they were lined up, then switched angles sharply so they'd miss. You can fight them too which may be useful if you need spirit emblems and/or have healing on deathblows, but it's fairly simple to just play the fight a bit more slowly and win by getting her vitality low enough that posture damage will stick through the phantom phases.

the old hag has broken ai, some say they spammed that nightjar slash reversal to kill her. but even spamming dodge-attacks gets her stunlocked pretty well. didnt need a single snap seed. the few times she got out of my comboing was when she jumps on that line in the air, but if u jump attack her she'll just fall down like a rock lol

You don't need them to win but I find the decision to give you no way to attain them at the point you're actually going to be fighting her to be a bad one.

When you're fighting her as your first 'boss' and still getting the hang of the game, the second phase is extremely tense. You're reduced to sprinting around the arena in circles till the illusions end if you actually tried to use the Snap Seeds on previous attempts but failed.

My biggest problem with consumables in any game is that I always end up hoarding them and never using em. I decided to actually use them, burned through them in a few encounters and that was it. Back to sprinting around the arena waiting for them to dispel. On NG+, every time she summoned them I snapped them away which felt like the point.

they should have the downed guard that initially gave you 2 seed keep giving them until you beat her.

Never used them, i just rund till they dissappear or be really agressive and she wont be able to spawn them.
