I know right! How does he make it look so easy.

[@Xaintrix]

I’m with ya

[@Deoix9877]

I've never realized till now (probably cause I suck too much to actually get him to that point), but what he does at 4:22 is his eating animation. after killing the rhenoplos, instead of eating it directly, he sends the flying giggi things to suck the blood and bring it back, wich then lets him power up. it's a neat detail that his eating animation is done in acordance to his lore

[@athos9293]

Lucid

[@ReckArdo88]

That's a genius detail

[@isaacpotter3454]

Also even if you Interrupt his animation the bats continue eating and come back later so once he sends them out he's guaranteed the food

@@lilsmolcrow yeah, but it's just a back hop that sheathes your weapon, nothing great.

[@goldwalker5652]

Christ alive, I knew y’all were good but it’s been like a day

[@UltimateSsjLucas]

Dont quite get why it sometimes is a true charged slash after the parry and sometime not. DO you have to charge the attack more by holding down the button after a successfull parry for the true charged slash? Also will it become a Rage slash if i equip the rage slash instead or does it always follow up with a true charged slash?

[@deedawg123]

It only becomes tcs after the parry if you initiated the parry by canceling a charged slash. Initiating from neutral leads to a regular draw slash. And yes it would be rage slash if that's what you had equipped at the time.

[@zeldafan7712]

parry normally -> charge1 OR new slashing combo; parry during charge -> true charged slash or rage slash.

[@MrMachupichu1992]

Seems to depend on whether or not you go into it from charging or just doing it outright. Like the normal charged slash happened when he did the silkbind without starting a charge yet. I'm about to check it out to be sure. And yes it depends on which switch skill you're using. SO either true charged slash or rage slash.

[@vineysphinx5122]

basically just press LT mid charge.

[@creeds968]

How do I use the counter while holding down my charge?

[@mika9578]

I dont understand the button inputs to do the strongarm stance out of a charge slash animation, I can never do it consistently

Just press ZL while doing charge attack without releasing the X button (or triangle button if you play on PC).
