still doing daily electric practice but unfortunately still can't hit them reliably in live matches. Hopefully the practice will catch up soon

@@Rodlikespants yeah keep up the grind 💪

ya I just started learning T8 but it's pretty fun so far

Which clock trick are you referring to? Using the stopwatch to defeat the doppelganger? Unfortunately it doesn't work on all enemies. If it's about something else like the clock room that would be quite surprising

@@Rodlikespants the wolf jump trick doesnt work 4 me

Yeah I first played on the PSP as well and it was very difficult. Most dpads are not optimal for the strict spell inputs but they get better slowly over time. At least the summon soul spell is easy on most dpads which already helps a lot.

@@Rodlikespants yeah it's mostly my go to spell. It's just frustrating I can not replicate some spells that worked randomly and are fairly easy or the simple special attacks of some swords. Well at least I have some fun

So it is not the most available game these days -- the primary port is The PS4 Requiem edition, which I believe is backwards compatible on PS5. Before that, it was a PS1 classic on the PSN and on Xbox live arcade (360), as well as a PSP port on The Dracula X Chronicles. Otherwise, there are less legal sources on the web of obtaining PS1 roms for playable on emulators, which I believe have okay performance. There is also a current project to patch the Japanese SOTN Sega Saturn port into english for consoles and emulators which sounds very interesting.

Yeah AFAICT you need the chakram upgrade, which was weird to me because I didn’t need it for anything else in the main game that I noticed

You don't need the chakram upgrade to jump up there I don't know why you'd think that, dash + double jump is enough

Good question! If you have the iron shield and shield rod equipped, you can press Square + Circle simultaneously to use the shield spell. All other shield spells work the same. It's a little easier to execute than some other inputs like soul steal

Right this is to explain how to sequence break past that requirement if you're interested. You can skip Olrox and traveling to the catacombs using this method. But Olrox is still fun to fight so I like to do it anyway

@@Rodlikespants pretty cool trick. I enjoyed this game so much. Although getting Crissaegrim made this game ridiculously easy.

That’s a good point, this video is probably more intended towards people who have played this game before and are looking for new twists to spice up a new replay. Thanks for your feedback. I hope you enjoy your playthrough!

Yeah. I'm at the first boss now and I don't even know how you have a shield.

I have the Dracula x on my psp and the death skip doesn't work like on mobile by just back dashing. Instant cutscene every time

Yeah but unfortunately in the original release you can only get the ring of varda on subsequent playthroughs IIRC. But the same applies to duplicator and that’s a staple of SotN speed runs too. There’s definitely lots of ways to break the game with and without grinding

@Rodlikespants Truly one of the greatest games of all time, since it's 2023 and we're all still talking about it.

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by body bashing, chain rush or high kick… The bat wing smash is (in bat mode) hold X, and do a 270 degree motion from up, do back, to down, to front and release X. It’s not easy but you get used to it. If you meant the second variation of hell fireballs, then you just do the normal motion (up, down, down/forward, forward + attack) and after the teleport hold up for the larger fireballs to come out. For richter, if you mean the lunging attack, it’s the same input as hellfire. If you mean the slide kick then that’s easy, just down + X, then X again

Nope :(

He’s a pain, there’s probably a decent position you can get into to avoid the cereboss fireball

I don’t recall setting any smoothing, I think it’s just set to 4x scaling display or something like that

I think it’s just a random nightjar ninja flunky working for Genichiro

That is one thing that Elden Ring has in common with Sekiro that I wish was different. You barely get anything for beating the grafted scion either, and the worst part is that the game makes you kill yourself to progress if you do win

because its funny

@@pk3v yeah if youre 12

​@@tachannel4497 get a life, loser.

@@tachannel4497 have some fun, loser.

Yes this is an early game strategy so it’s lame but effective

Don't worry he got plenty of funny in the first 10 times we fought until I came up with a strategy lol

he is amazing, look at him scoring all those crits

This dude saved my life during the Phantom Ganon fight in the castle. All the other sages were fcking useless against him in that fight.

The only usefull npc in the game

that's a good call. And for those looking for speedrunning strategies there are videos out there about underflowing the salable gems while selling to the librarian. Those tend to be the most common ways to afford the duplicator

Good point! I think the battle at the end of the game is much tougher. Were you able to use a similar strategy against the final boss then?

​@@Rodlikespants Ok, finally finished Blaster Master Zero 3 and I can say that 2 out of 4 Metal Attackers can be defeated, going in and out of Sophia. Kanna and Leibniz cannot be defeated with this mechanic, since one can recover life and the other is in the air all the time. The rest of MA can be defeated. *PS:* The ending they gave to the Saga was beautiful

This actually isn’t that hard compared to some of the other bosses in the game! I hope others are able to use similar strategies and do the same

@@Rodlikespants maybe your just better
