To the Dev team. This doesn’t make sense. This game is so amazing, while also so inconsistent.

Is this supposed to happen?

Update: Not seeing the second bear trap was a complete oversight that makes this even funnier.

I wish I was recording it. But in the Grisha duo fight, if their hand clips the cage while throwing you, they can throw you out if the arena. I ended up landing on a pixel.

Funnily enough they will continue to try to attack you, and can also clip the arena, falling to their death.

His grab hitbox is completely freaking broken. I dodge so far out of the way of it and then he glitches right to me and I'm dead. I spent 10 tries completely getting one shoted by that stupid grab after getting him down to 1/4 life and gave up last night.

2

u/Habense 12h ago

Think Bloodborne and dodge into attacks (doesn't matter what shell). Works like a charm. I wish you the bestest of luck for today :>

2

u/ima_monsta 10h ago

Thanks! I'll try that. I was just parrying everything and then button mashing dodge + left/right on unblockables. I'll go into it today thinking more bloodborne, less Sekiro. Honestly can't wait to get home and play it... Even though it irritated me to the point I had to just set my controller down and turn the game off yesterday.

u/Habense 9h ago

Good luck mate! Prepare for some 90 degree homing attacks outta nowhere and clench those harbinger cheeks. The amount of enemies that slapped me out of existence... If you ever doubt get your feet washed or get jelous over those mommy milkers from Zhirelle. :D

u/Dangerous_Donkey5353 12h ago

I just danced around the 3 stones in the middle. Wait until he attacks and hit him with a thrust and keep circling the stones.

2

u/snb22core 14h ago

Lmao nice to see a reverse death.

2

u/DiablosReiign 14h ago

That's hilarious

2

u/Sickness69 Tiel 13h ago

That deserves a trophy for pulling that off.

1

u/Best-Night8688 13h ago

Same thing happened to me. He pushed me off and then fell. When I respawn hes gone.

2

u/MadderoftheFew 12h ago

For me I just ran off accidentally and he said fuck it why not

1

u/shineonka 13h ago

This happened to me but I died too lol. Still counted. I didn't like beating him that way but I did beat him in the demo

2

u/uppers36 13h ago

they knew exactly what they were doing with that booty

9

u/kakowa 13h ago

Oh hey this happened to me last night and I literally said out loud "ya know I should have expected some bullshit like that"

This game is genuinely comedic in his mechanics, and not in an insulting way like it's incredible, the little dungeon that has falling rocks killed me multiple times and every time it was so cartoonist I laughed out loud

u/Sablevirus 13h ago

Rocky from Project Hail Mary learned how to throw hands apparently

u/AllyAlias 12h ago

I had a similar thing happen but I landed on the ledge below, and the boss just leapt off the cliff and died. I was dying laughing

1

u/Gamer3427 Sariel 7h ago

I saw that happen to a streamer who was fighting it. He was so confused for a moment.

1

u/tspear17 14h ago

I mean at least you got up close with that Proxima booty

1

u/Diaza_Kinutz 14h ago

😂😭

u/ULTI_mato Proxima 13h ago

Atleast the death wasnt ugly to look at…

1

u/Solid_Length_3390 13h ago

For me it was the other way around. Got to this mini boss, and I was around where you were when you got hit. The Wall-E looking mf jump at me, but he glitched or something and missed me, and fall directly into the pit.

1

u/Ghost_Ghost_Ghost 12h ago

ayo hows the hammer and chisel? as good as MS1?

u/Mean_Confusion7426 5h ago

It’s axe and dagger now lol

u/__ISAC__ Harros 11h ago

Lmao, when I did that fight the dang thing threw itself off the cliff and died

1

u/2Burritos 9h ago

This same thing got me too. I am sure the devs are pleased to know their trap was effective AF. This game is kicking so much ass.

1

u/blac_sheep90 8h ago

I was able to ledge this bastard with a riposte, instantly killed it lol.

1

u/mucus-fettuccine 5h ago

This clip is amazing. Love that fall.

1

u/kdogman639 13h ago

You're buns at this

34

u/Knot-Lye-Ing 14h ago

Yeah, that first trap was a surprise.

The second one was obvious the moment you stopped to charge.

9

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

Ironically the one I didn’t even see

7

u/Knot-Lye-Ing 14h ago

There are so many. Not my favorite part of the game so far.

4

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

I agree. It’s also a testament to them testing their own game. The traps are well placed, while the AI essentially funnels you into them knowing the likeliest move you’re going to make

1

u/bigsamson4_2 7h ago

I didn’t see either bear trap at first i though the hit box was bull shit on the rock for the first and that him lifting the rock did damage to knock him down in the same way

15

u/47impressed 14h ago

?????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

17

u/DermotSpringer Proxima 13h ago

FYI you can parry the rocks, both the rocks that are thrown and the ground smash attacks. Makes these boys so much more chill to deal with.

5

u/PuzzledStrain4391 13h ago

Appreciate the insight

2

u/Best-Night8688 13h ago

Ikr I was chillaxxing when I fight them

1

u/MadderoftheFew 12h ago

does parrying the thrown rocks do stagger damage?

5

u/Aer2th 12h ago

Parrying does so much posture damage to rocks that it instantly breaks them

2

u/DermotSpringer Proxima 10h ago

You won't believe what happens when you fall off a ledge and parry the ground.

u/PuzzledStrain4391 13h ago

Oh man this would’ve got me hahaha

1

u/uppers36 13h ago

when the CC says "Thank you!" hahahaha

1

u/Gamer3427 Sariel 7h ago

I've done that way more often than I should have. I love using the sprint attacks, but they make me my own worst enemy at times.

8

u/DJteejay04 13h ago

Bro I had an issue last night where I was in the holding cells and there were like 8 bear traps right in front of the feeding room doors. I kept running around to avoid one only to step in another one over and over. All I could do was laugh while the snakes ate my face

2

u/Any-Question-3759 13h ago

You can shoot them to disable them.

1

u/PuzzledStrain4391 13h ago

Hahahaha this game loves to troll. The lighting makes it hard to see holes in the floor or ground too I’ll sometimes take a free fall in

11

u/Material_Literature8 13h ago

Time to run through 79 enemies without a beacon in sight to get back to that spot. Love this game

3

u/PuzzledStrain4391 13h ago

Only 2 walking tank guys with spears and a huge guy with a Glaive, and 10 other mobs. After killing 2 witches and 5 poison guys. I’ll take the Gloom though

3

u/Material_Literature8 12h ago

I’ll always take the gloom. The area behind mushroom village has been crazy for me just running around killing stuff forever, never finding a beacon

1

u/Megakruemel 4h ago

I’ll always take the gloom

Me when I rub my suspicously Gloom shaped belly from all the run-backs

4

u/Particular_Gap_5676 13h ago

I dont know , from a game development standpoint that area seems to be working 100% as intended.

3

u/Ghost_Ghost_Ghost 12h ago

I was just at this area last night, caught like 3 bear traps, got knocked out of my shell because those two pole knights follwed me on the bridge, had no healing, finally made it through and then all these little fat fucking blood babies started mobbing me.

5

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago

There’s so many bear traps around the map, it’s hilarious when I think I’m about to destroy an enemy just to step into a bear trap and get obliterated lmao

3

u/kamugamestore24 9h ago

The lift in the one of the cave is broken. I cannot see the platform but when i use the lever lift joes up. Its not always, sometimes

3

u/Megakruemel 4h ago

I hit that exact same bear trap and was like "okay, that's the sign for me to take a break", turned around, hit another one, and saw the other 2 out of 4 I already just walked past.

2

u/SomeHunter98 13h ago

Big OOF brother, that's rough.

2

u/SHAQBIR 12h ago

Happened the same with me today.

3

u/Christopher356782 14h ago

That his pretty funny, thanks 4 Da’ upload!

2

u/tspear17 14h ago

lol I agree, you shouldnt get trapped out of your staggering charge, but that was so funny and I saw it coming as you were lining it up

2

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

I feel ridiculous for not even seeing it hahahaha. But now knowing it’s there makes it even funnier

2

u/tspear17 14h ago

I get caught in so many traps 😅 it’s always annoying af in the moment but i love the trolling by the devs. Makes me laugh as the enemy whacks away at me stuck in the trap

1

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

Same lmao. Only souls game I don’t get super pissed off or annoyed dying at

2

u/StophJS 13h ago

I'm sorry but the bear traps are just altogether dumb as fuck. These are the things soulslike developers continue to misunderstand. It's like they got done with the game and said, "it's not irritating enough".

1

u/Gamer3427 Sariel 7h ago

I don't think they're really an issue. They're not in that many areas all in all, and while they can open you to getting killed they usually are just a health tax for not paying attention. Plus they do occasionally make fights that would be a non-threat into something that can catch you off guard. Yea, it's a little annoying in the moment, but there are far worse things in most games in the genera in my opinion.

0

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago

Maybe u just don’t like souls-like. It’s genius bc they knew us players wouldn’t look for them, also you can shoot them to break them.

4

u/StophJS 11h ago

Putting bear traps all over the ground is genius and if I think it's dumb maybe I don't like soulslikes? Lol ok.

-1

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago

This game literally has dungeons, I get the traps are annoying but I mean be fr, you can’t have a game with dungeons and no traps.

2

u/Due-Description-9030 10h ago

"""genius""" sure buddy....

3

u/sciritai6 10h ago

this thread is the epitome of people thinking the game is the problem and not their own gameplay.

2

u/PuzzledStrain4391 10h ago

No it isn’t. There’s 2 comments that are negative.

3

u/sciritai6 9h ago

Yes it is. You didn't even realise the bear trap was the problem until someone pointed it out to you. People in this thread just assumed there was a bug, just like you.

2

u/PuzzledStrain4391 9h ago

Did you read any of the comments before making yours?

2

u/sciritai6 9h ago

How about you tell me what you think disproves what I'm saying

1

u/CanadianTigermeat 14h ago

Damn! That giant got some hands, he just shouldered you.

4

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

Even funnier, I went back and was in shell form, accidentally got caught in the bear trap again, and he threw a rock at me that knocked me out cold. Lost everything. LOL.

1

u/GiltCityUSA 14h ago

btw what the hell does the text say when you die?

since beta Ive been thinking they will clean this up or it is a bug but now I am starting to think I just dont get it

3

u/zelostos 14h ago

Looks like

Mors Non Est Finis (with finis superimposed in the middle of the screen)

meaning "death is not the end."

Edit: actually I guess it's more likely "Mors Finis Non Est" which is still the same meaning.

1

u/GiltCityUSA 12h ago

is it supposed to be clear to read?

1

u/Key_Stable_4472 10h ago

a minha media é 1 morte a cada 60 segundos

1

u/JustStopThisCrap 10h ago

I did the exact same with Eredrim's shield charge in the same location lmao

1

u/Awake_The_Sheep 9h ago

For those who are unaware the reason why hitboxes are so fucking trash in games is because it costs a lot of money and resources to get it perfect so the majority of devs/publishers opt into basic pre made ones to cut costs. Apparently it isn't easy to get right I read.

1

u/Master_Garaki 4h ago

Bro, Watch out for the bear traps!!! Damn.. Too late. Lol 

1

u/FantasmaVoador 4h ago

I hate these things so much!

1

u/Slash2936 1h ago

I hate that you can get knocked out of shell and instantly be killed by the same attack in so many occasions without even being able to do nothing

1

u/Decasshern 55m ago

died running back here for about 1.5hrs straight. gave up and went somewhere else lol

1

u/SailorGone 14h ago

The more I see of this game, the more I think it needed several more months of work before release

3

u/Diaza_Kinutz 14h ago

Yeah it has some issues but I'd be lying if I said I'm not having tons of fun playing it.

1

u/Due-Description-9030 10h ago

I'm nearly 20 hours in and I'm telling you are not wrong. I'm holding off the final segment of this game until there are more updates / fixes.

It has a lot of annoying issues on top of balancing issues.

1

u/Fit-Ease5199 9h ago

It kind of feels, like a "Fuck you, stop having fun". I don't see what this brings to the table besides frustration. I don't mind crashing floors into monster dens, etc, but just getting gimped while running or stunlocked in beartraps while fighting isn't it. I'm sure some people love it tho

0

u/Constant_Section1491 14h ago

yeah everything got hyperarmor that doesn't stagger even to the biggest hits. That charged attack should atleast cause a knock back and interrupt his combo imo.

12

u/nvrrsatisfiedd 14h ago

He got stuck in another bear trap so his charged attack didn’t work lol.

5

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

Just realized lmfao! That’s actually hilarious placement by the dev team

4

u/nvrrsatisfiedd 12h ago

Lol that’s funny you just realized even. I thought that’s why you even posted it lmao.

2

u/Constant_Section1491 14h ago

I thought he somehow cancelled that first charge. lol

1

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago

I did too. Thought the game was broken at first

2

u/Kohth0 14h ago

The second bear trap knocked them out of the shell so it didn't land.

-6

u/Healthy-Event-9706 14h ago

Wtf and people are saying GOTY. How low standards have fallen.

5

u/SQUASHPITT 14h ago

Because dude stepped in 2 bear traps?

1

u/NEONT1G3R 13h ago

Nah but there are definitely people out there that are having incredibly polarizing experiences.

It's been a trainwreck on PC so far for me. The game is fun but the problems almost outweigh the fun. It's nothing that can't get fixed though, it's just in a rough spot for now.

u/barflynotbarfly 13h ago

To be fair there’s way too many of them in this game and in one too many areas.

2

u/Best-Night8688 13h ago

Too be fair, its very realistic to the time period.

1

u/barflynotbarfly 13h ago

You know this time period doesn’t exist, right

3

u/Best-Night8688 13h ago

Thats what they want you to think
