God of War 2 General Kratos BH Only: Part 9

- This is a run focused on getting knowledge about the Barbarian Hammer. We will focus on Souls and properties of the attacks rather than pure damage output. Magic will be allowed but limited (Naturally, GK limits the value of orbs). There is also a need to see how BH can interact with different magic attacks.

>post-birbs
I suspected as much. Pity. They are annoying fight set-ups, granted.
>new avatar
Feeling fresh with the Dick Tracy edition of your usual?
0:06 A fair few ways to go about it. What's the selection?
>Flick and EH
A fine greeting. We sticking with that or just dabblin'?
0:12 Deceptive range (not in a good way).
0:24 >one goat crushed
Surprised you're spending this hard before Atlas Lift without a full refill in your future (while in GK VH). A bit to help with that part is helpful (AQ trial for the full refill, of course).
0:34 Chip averted.
0:46 >S1 skip
The classic.
1:01 >soul set-up
On-brand.
1:22 >R1 evade
My preferred choice (over x hops).
1:25 Realization of an old dream (shutting down S2).
1:53 Now for Wright's S3 control. What's the punishment? Flick and heavies?
2:29 First run to put this to work, by the way.
NOTE: I need to get on Zesty for not having a Community post promoting this series. Might wait for it to wrap up though.
2:32 Maybe some boundary stuff?
>yes
Right. We doing shortcut or HJ to leave when finished with them?
3:27 What was it? 80HP and statue/obstacle status, so no P% or power modifier factor, so 15 at a time. The range issue is a factor, too. Six landing should do it. If they land. Glad even the central one works (so high off the ground). I forget if your shockwave is explosive. Think it is (so P% would factor, actually). If so, then it would be 15. Let's count how many you used. **does so** 22 with some clear whiffs for range and aim. Safe to say it was taking the L for the P% while explosive factor, eh?
3:32 >going to the hive
I don't think it is actually hitting it despite the hit count. Hard to say. Would have to land 14 MotK then spam souls for a bit to be sure.
4:17 Another down. Don't think the third at the start is within reaching without getting to higher ground, at least. Maybe atop the perch where the hive you just broke was, or the solid platform leading to a traversal wall? Or even the high ground leading ahead?
4:50 This blow will be as strong as lvl1 on Normal for primary parts of the hit (secondary of them is explosive, so it scales). Easily beats MotK in terms of dps.
5:06 Surprised you haven't shown off the absurd output of their OS kill with that 10/15 split (latter notable for EP% scaling on statues/obstacles).
5:20 Atop this bit of rock is a platform you can jump from to reach the next spot without the wall section. No idea why so many vets don't know about it. But this is a BH run, so you should probably still use HJ to bypass all that.
5:35 >HJ
Good.
>here
Must be about the chests. **it was** Right.
5:48 Got no faith in souls reaching so far. Could Flick while Gliding (you haven't done this yet). Might hit it with a drive by for the lulz.
5:51 Ultra rude. Well done. RUINED his day. That one won't respawn (one more like him).
>actually a Ruined bonus over RO
In GoW1 that turns it to Crushed.
5:58 Time for some EH set-ups with Flicks (maybe LoS), I suppose. Sooner you kill the other respawning harpy the better (less opps for souls to control). If you can kill one of the x2 Caps, then you can better control the two respawning blazing birbs. Ol' Batra in hand, that just leaves HL (who will attack frequently, so probably stay at a distance or get tagged **would say RotT tank, but it makes me nervous if not the PS2 edition**).
6:08 Big dubs for EH.
6:16 Souls keeping Big Bird under control and now to end their infinite respawn.
>held in place for OS kill
Nice.
6:33 Quite the visual bug. Anyway, what's the play? Could mess around a bit, but with infinite MP and so many to clear, I'd understand setting up for shatters.
6:41 GR letting them know the vibes.
>CC saying "Nah, I'd win"
But Mom said it was their turn to attack....
7:40 >Flick during cutscene
Nice.
>double interrupt
Now to see the play. Presumably we're heading to the bridge's end be it for RO, bops or crushing.
7:51 >broken
How it gotta be, dawg.
8:20 >LoS into s3
Some MP conservation is sensible given what is ahead.
8:41 >it missed
Kek.
8:48 >these directions
Feels like they go outward away from us relative to the position from our body when struck with this (while flipping in the usual manner). It isn't just where we look, then (nor where their back points like typical for knockback).
9:24 >OS to IA to air s1
No Flick to aMotK for bonus points? Still, nice RO.
9:50 Stubborn broad.
10:19 I imagine it is time for FLIGHT.
>duking it out
So be it, Jedi.
10:35 This is the exact spot I theorized to Mustafa would be an ideal combat zone for when not doing my FIGHT method of air OS kills. Camera to work, least amount of trouble from spikes (or having to learn patterns) and close to the exit/block.
NOTE: I forget how many at a time we have here. If only 3, then LoS and Flick should hold them off pretty well to limit how much you need to kill them before the last moment.
11:44 Was hoping you would be toggling (R) during this.
12:01 Had enough.
12:15 Useless with the skip I recommended, by the way.
12:34 Natural path, then.
14:09 As usual, W1 will get no respect.
15:18 >v1 rather than v2
Old school.
16:55 >alternative approach
Oh? Been a LONG time since I've seen anyone do 'Natural Spawns' first. More of a MAX method.
17:13 >bar still there
Opted out of checkpoint exploit completely? Bold.
17:16 >air drop
>no Glide into Flick
>roll method
Right.
7:19 >LoS and Flick for control
Let's see it, then.
17:29 >off-cam tickle
His pickle for a nickle? Alright.
17:41 It is what it is.
18:23 Seems a slight pity not to use the healthy dogs for collisions. Still, Donte should like this method for variety. Likewise, the ancient BH FAQ would have dug this.
19:20 Might have gone with souls to hold while tip range MotK kills him letting me keep closer to the x2 HPotF location (with CC for recovery).
19:25 Can splurge a bit, yeah. What's the selection?
19:30 >LV
Feeling yourself.
19:42 I remember telling Xtreme to use E Athena so he could taste the glory of MAX TB focus (with SoD as the sub-weapon to regather MP from DMG kills in a lot of places). Could angle TS to sweep from the x2 priest spot up-right to hit the natural spawns.
NOTE: Very nice showing. Hope to see at least one HM locked with flicks into light or heavy string spam (rather than EH set-up). Got to show all the tech we can.
>TM3
Massive thanks to Wright for shipping this
>R1 evade
You told me about it. And I heed the lesson.
5:48 They do reach. Its just time consuming. And it only reaches when the birb comes close. No way to reach the others.
>S3 knockback direction
Yeah, its something. I could hop into the arena and test this there.
>W3 Translator
Took quite some time to cook this. My winrate jumped though with the order of steps mentioned. And this without using RotT and MP before 2x spawners. I could grind a W without any MP as well. I was feeling myself and decided to end the last bit with a storm.
>HM with Flick + Attacks
Coming up in ER. Will make sure to do it. Also, I could hop into the arena and demo all enemies and souls interactions in 1 vid. Though I am not super good at explaining and editing.
>Ask Zesty for a promotion
That would an honor. I guess lets finish the business here first.
@@kiraqueen0 >thanks to Wright
Was nice having old tech upgraded (with help from CE).
>heed the lesson
**looks crazy at Zesty**
>time consuming
Our favorite.
>test there
I just don't recall other cases behaving as such.
>MP-less
A pure BH showing (other than throws), eh?
>in ER
I would have sooner expected it for the final bull of the bit prior to the Phoenix rez.
>full bestiary vid
That works too (though having one HM or other relevant foe done this way during the proper run is preferred).
>an honor
It would be useful to help spread knowledge. He still needs to promote more of Wright's work (as with TM3 advancements). He's got the platform from his days doing 'top X' and such, so it is useful to the vet community.
@@BigVEE
>HMs in Phoenix Chamber
I forgor about them. That's way easier.
>Pure BH versions
Exactly. I will have to feel myself doing it instead of continuing the run.
@@kiraqueen0 >way easier
Pretty sure I mention it in the run recommendations.
>instead
Better as a post-run potential showing of missed tech if not just having them back-to-back (if bothering)..
