Okay, what the actual ♥♥♥♥ with duel difficulty?

[H 4 Z E]

First duel, hard mode, my AI partner literally doesnt help me at all, he keeps casting levioso on the enemy already under that spell, while i get 2 choices: to either get my ass blasted by a second guy not being stunned by that spell, while trying to do any damage that is for whatever reason VERY miniscule, like one hit i do after stupefy, is worth around 1/10th of their health or something ridiculous like that
Or the second choice i have is to keep dodging/blocking, which is also ridiculous, because they give you like 0.3 second window to actually dodge/block, which paired with not exactly stellar indication of the incoming hit, makes it pretty damn hard to dodge/block.

And to top it off, i go down in like 4 hits despite having like 4 defense and 12 offense

Like, what the actual ♥♥♥♥, who is this designed for, considering that with the amount of buttons you have to press, its just confusing as all hell. And i don't even have that many spells, but i constantly keep casting lumos insted of just blocking
Am i missing something or the game is just downright stupid in terms of difficulty?
I feel like it was easier and less frustrating to play elden ring, than this game.

And people are asking for companions with this AI.......

I mean you can do the duels on any level, you just have to spend a lot more time dodging and guarding and basic attack spamming the lower level you are.

Although this isn't how dueling is supposed to go. A duel is one on one. Group against group is called a melee.

Pressing block and/or dodge when the big “an attack is about to hit you” indicator is on the screen is very hard

Can be wrong (but it would surprise me) but in hard difficulty you don't have indicators. Also the timeframe for acting is shorter.

You do have those indicators, yes. I think the time frame is shorter, though.

use potions and win easy ...

I swear those duels are absurd compared to many of the life or death fights in the game later. The useless AI of the partner, and the insane ai of the opponents. The real issue seems to be they all go 'rainbow shield' And combined with the wonky target switching, can be extremely frustrating combined with spell cool downs.

You are wrong, and you have more than enough time to react unless you’re senile.

do you even know average reaction speed and how much time they give you here?
Smh, edgy kids

Just tested it a bit on spiders. Yeah, you do have the indicators but yeah, the frame and feeling is completly different.

In the easier mode it feel like everything slowdown so you can just input, also you're guided through the perfect timing. In hard you have the indicator but that's it, you have to react and that's it.

Wait, people are using partners? I didn't want to share the glory with fellow classmates. I wanted the school to realize who the cool cat was xD

The 1v4 on hard was fun though. Just had to focus one at a time and make use of rolls/reflect.

the difficulty is because of the lack of spells, they are jumping into the quest as soon as it's become available and there is literally no reason to do that, I did it on hard asap and had the same problem you are simply lacking. Once you level a little more, add some more power too your spells with talents and maybe some more effective spells, its easy.

I agree it becomes much easier once you have levelled up and have more spells. The game does very much push you to complete all 3 of the rounds of it though. I think there should have been level requirements on round 2 and 3 like there is on most content. It felt like to me that this was supposed to be a tutorial for combat outside the castle, but the later rounds were far harder than anything I encountered in the open world.

dont know why people seems to have problem with this mission.... just spam stupefy, it's not that hard... i mean, it's just 1/2 vs 4... you have to solo a lot more people in the open world which include unblockable attacks..

[fade2black001]

Not to mention (at least for me) the 3rd and final match is bugged. After you knockout 3 of them the third person is bugged. He can't be hurt for a very long period of time. Person has like at least 30 seconds of I Frames

I had no issues with all 3 duels at level 8. Its called learning how to play video games. Is this your first video game?

With over 100 hours in Elden Ring let alone the hundreds and thousands of hours in other more difficult games and you're wasting your time in here complaining about how difficult a Harry Potter game is? If you wanted to Jester farm you could have done better.

you know what i expected to see when i checked your prifle? you being from USA
What did i see when i checked your profile? You're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right, you being from USA.

What does that have to do with anything? At the end of the day you're the one who apparently struggles in a Harry Potter game and apparently can't proof read before posting. I'm not sure what a prifile is and since not everyone is proud of the country they're from and choose not to list it I can't rightly guess if that's some weird non-US variant of the word 'profile' or if you're just remedial.
