[@ObeyCamp]

For real. The rules were so clearly established. Technically he didn't riposte, as a riposte is an attack following a parry, and what he did is just a critical attack on a staggered enemy, which in the game does work the same way, but it isn't the same action. Standing close to the boss is not dodging, and the rules clearly stated that the boss missing an attack does not count as the player dodging the same attack. It's 100% with the spirit of the challenge. The challenge was to beat the game without dodging, not to beat the game while absorbing all of the damage everything can possibly dish out forever without ever killing anything or dying lmao.

yep, it reminds me of ds 1 and 2 in that regard. also the reason why im not that big a fan of bloodborne. as that game is too 1 note. you basicalyl play the exact same way but using diferent weapons that dont change it that much. and before people come talking about how in BB weapons are more unique, they kinda are, but changing them is not that diferent from 2-handing in other souls like.

[@giulioceresini1435]

​​​@@marcosdhelenono, changing weapon form is nothing like two handing, but you can tell yourself that if you want. You can dislike bloodborne, but this is just plain false. Every attack combos with every followup you choose. In other souls game R1 combos with R1 and R2 with R2, and that's that. Sometime you get a R1-R2 combo, but that's it. Hitting different button simply disrupts the flow of the action and resets the combo. Which is fine for souls game since they play at a much slower pace, but weapons definitely have less than 1/3 of the options and movesets bloodborne has. The changing form attacks have a moveset of their own. Two handing is an action that stays the same for every weapon, changing form is an actual attack and plays right into the fast pace of bloodborne. Again, it's fine if you don't like it, but the comparison makes no sense.

[@marcosdheleno]

@@giulioceresini1435 " In other souls game R1 combos with R1 and R2 with R2" this clearly shows you are talking out of your ass. seriously, there's a channel dedicated to DS1 pvp, and he proves that this is just false. many weapons not only can combo r1s into r2, but you can also combo using rolls, side steps, running and jump attacks. some spears for example, have thrusts in the r1, but sweeps in the r2. and you can easily combo them. so many weapon combos allow for roll catches in ds1. just look at the broad sword moveset and tell me you cant combo it. in some cases you can combo stuff other weapons cant, like the reinforced club, allowing jump attack into r2 for a second jump attack. and that's DS1, which is only not as clunky as DeS. in other games like DS2 and 3, it becomes even easier to combo stuff. specially in 3, as some weapon arts were designed to literary be comboable with r1s or r2s.

[@sacherry5300]

From most of what I’ve seen, the reason why Great Stars and Prelate’s Charge work well together is because people cast Bloodflame Blade alongside. That way you get extra bleed over time applying on top of the weapon’s bleed, extra fire damage alongside the Charge, and the flame trails also having the bleed effect going as well

[@PoTateoBTW]

Yeah, I ran that for a bit along with Winged Sword Talisman and Godskin swaddling cloth, that build can get nutty with the right Sacred Flask/Talisman combos.

[@pennycat7276]

The buff only lasts 15 seconds, it's more likely that people just don't bother with it since it's not worth the trade. One could make an argument for the radiant variant of the buff which lasts for 70 seconds but is only obtainable once in a playthrough, can't be stored, you can't hold more than 1 and it doesn't carry over to NG+. They're simply not worth using. Hugs are nice though.

[@Cr0wsMurd3r]

One thing that occurred to me was, why not use Spirit Ashes? If the goal was simply to prove that the game is beatable without using reactionary movement, using Spirit Ashes would make it even simpler. They are after all the inbuilt easy mode of the game. Mimic Tear is almost an "I win button" vs all bosses. Also, Endure on an offhand dagger or in a secondary slot adds alot of Poise and resistance. Bubble Aromatic(forgot the real name of it) also adds alot of dmg resistance, could have been useful vs giant hits that take awhile to land like Radahns divebomb. - against rules I guess...

Tbh though, eating things to remove DOT effects on yourself is pretty much the definition of "reactionary using an item for the purpose of avoiding damage", so if you're going to allow consuming those, you might as well allow throwing freeze bombs. You could even argue it fits the theme more of "keep attacking in some form without dodging."

Waiting for the full get-up animation takes like 2-3 full seconds and makes this challenge far more difficult than it otherwise would be
