Anyone on PC want to opine on whether I should stay mouse/keyboard or switch to a dual sense controller? I've only played the intro, but the combat feels clunky. Might just be I need to switch

---

The M&K controls are pretty bad, but they have fixed them a little since launch. I cant do controllers, so I stuck with it but I can see how controllers are easier.

Also, I had to stop halfway through the Reed Devil quest right after getting to the hut - man what a great quest. Could totally feel the horror vibes.

Looking forward to chasing that little weirdo.

---

Took him out on the first try - I think I halfway understand combat now!

Now, I did eat about 10 clear soups but that is neither here nor there....

Yea, I could have tried re-binding or something, but after the first few quests, I switched to controller. Last game I played with one was Witcher 3, so this style of game seems to fit controller more for me.

80 hours and still on chapter 4. Im taking my sweet time

even after finishing the main part of the story I'm not done with this game. decided to go again with a completely different build.

I've spent the last few nights just gathering more greymanes…

Those quests made me want to throw the game in the trash. Honestly. I don't like jumping through the same hoop over and over.

It is pretty lame, but I make sure to explore and loot each trip out to make it less monotonous

I've been busy recently so haven't picked up the game in a couple days. The interest has waned as I step back and think about the game. Still a great game if you like doing a ton of different things and I don't really have anything better to play at the moment to divert my attention. I'm hoping some of the content I haven't unlocked yet gets me going again. Haven't ridden a dragon yet so there are some things I'm looking forward to!

dragon is very late game

don't tell me that!!!

we are heading out for vacation today. first day since launch that i haven't played. gonna have some withdrawls

Just logged on, another gigantic update file

105 hours in and just finally broke into Demenis

I've upgraded my armor to 34 defense, helm to 15 defense, balton sword to 24, soul spear at 27, other swords at 20-22 attack, earring, ring and necklace all to 3 attack......and still the bandits across the border wreck me. Wondering where I need to get my numbers up to to not have to rely on tons of food to survive stronghold battles. I thought I'd be safe, especially with 34 armor defense.

How many points do you have into health ?

What are your abyss gears like? I have a few in each weapon that have push-back mechanics and that seems to really help with keeping space while i BTFO of the gang.

Also, dont sleep on brawling/slams -- it's all about keeping space open 30 degrees or more in front of you.

I am struggling with combat with groups as well in Demensis, too. I don't think it's a gear check as much as it is a skill check.

Slow playing so still on chapter 4, so still minimal on gears. I figured that had a lot to do with it.

I can still take down a stronghold, just takes a long time and some food.

I feel like my problem with the mobs is lack of mobility on the battlefield - I find myself having to sprint to get to the archers, then I'm consuming stamina just to get to them and sometimes get tagged by melee attacks trying to reach them.

What is the easiest way to get the archers down fast? Should I force palm into the air and glide over to them?

Seems like as soon as I knock a few down more show up so I'm constantly trying to pick off archers while avoiding the melee guys.

Gotta get that up to 10, stamina as well. Spirit helps but not as much until you unlock elements.

For sure gears help. There is one kind that builds up damage to consecutive hits which is amazing. Should for sure get one that adds a skill to your specials as well (I like the crow one you get in main quest line from a boss). Others I find dont matter as much in early and mid game. Armors, just get defense up early for now.

Yeah, just gets expensive with artifacts. I need to figure out a way to build those up quicker. So slow going with the quests. I'm at a 5 on stamina and 5 for spirit

critical rate and damage adding skills and abyss gears help. also the shield bash helps a ton on the deminnisian mobs. if you hold guard and bash just after you get hit it disarm the attacker more times than not.

Is bash R1 or R2?

cool. I'm about to go into that area as well and that tip will help a lot.

What's the tip on those airborne spellcasters?

charged shot knocks them down. also nature's snare knocks them down as well. the crow abyss gear also tags them by spamming heavy attack.

eta: I try to snipe those a holes before committing. but there are always some that come out of the woodwork when you're involved with the mobs

believe is the hold guard and hit R2.

At the sanctums? I usually whip out my bow and clip them, they fall to the ground and then you can get stabby and finish them off.

As far as archers, Im probably not doing it right, but when I see a wooden perch, I blinding light and focus on the platform they are standing on and it burns them right up, but they of course get shots in because it takes a few seconds.

You can also allegedly axiom grip the top and use the arial swing into some sort of summersalt roll and then force palm to destroy them, but I am either not adept enough to pull that maneuver off or I don't have the spinny roll skill yet....so Im left trying to burn 'em down.

edit: I just looked it up, what you are looking for is the Diving Force Palm skill. Check out the preview of the skill and it will get you where you want to go. I tried to get the skill and it told my I cant unlock it with abyss stuff, so you might have to observe it at some point.

Use your sword glint on them (for ice ones anyways)
