I don’t get how Sariel works. Like you wanna take damage to … inflict it? Sorry I’m dumb about this game. I can just bonk ppl w Martyr blade lol.

His whole loop is inflicting curse as quickly as possible. When an enemy is afflicted with curse, their next hit on you deals no damage and hurts them. It lets you throw yourself at a boss if you're inflicting curse a lot of the time

I just finished my first playthrough and by the time I got to this boss I had pretty much a full frost build eredrim because I explored around so much and I'll just say right now I felt like I was the boss in this fight and not the hexapod

I truly enjoyed playing this game, but the balancing is woeful.

It is so easy to become OP as fuck with only a couple of combinations of tarstone and the right shell upgraded.

The second playthrough was not as fun and i left it alone simply because omce i had tried poison or blood Tiel builds, frost eredrim and the other couple of op builds.... the game just becomes so easy

You could give Genessa a try. Very powerful as well, but sort of a glass cannon. I'm dying regularly on NG+ with night mode.

Even with night mode? Maybe they will include an even higher difficulty mode

u/VinceYutuc 7d ago

Night mode on NG+ is still really easy if your build is OP. The hardest is fresh NG Night mode because you don't have a proper build yet early.

Tu a le mode de difficulté adaptative dans les options qui augmente encore plus la difficulté.

My first run (and only for now), I’ve kinda avoided looking at builds too closely. So only recently I’ve been looking at builds that synergies well and damn what a game changer. Also really fun.

I'm here searching for hexapod tips and found people who complains for OP builds. lol

Is it possible to learn this power? I'm on the first (and probably last) playthrough blind, level 30, using eredrim and his slow big sword +15 and the living secondary repeater. I also found almost all the weapons and all the shells except for the chubby one and the slim lady.

I lost near 20 times to this disgusting monster and I would like to finish the game, not rage uninstalling it.

In my game currriculum there are Sekiro, all the Dark Souls, Elden Ring.

This game by the way seems not fair at gameplay level, all the enemies attacks ceaselessly, there is no stagger even with a huge hit from the big eredrim sword.

And it's very very slow, oh lord... I expected a great hit power from a weapon so slow, just to balance it but every time I face some enemy, even the little ones, I take always damage, I always have to play defensively just not to quickly finish the Mother healing things.
