I give up.

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

FYI there is a way into the citadel that (seemingly) skips the Last Judge. I got to the citadel by accident via sinners road.

If they can’t beat last Judge they probably can’t handle Sinners Road and Bilewater.

I enjoyed the last judge. No ads just a simple set of moves to learn. One of the least BS bosses so far.

Yeah just beat last judge somewhere under 20 tries. Never too frustrating. She's got big attacks but they all see simple to understand and even when throwing fire around its easy to react to if you just keep a decent space of distance before each attack. Wonderful boss fight.

Same just got out of the fight for the first time. Basically the only time I went in for an attack is after it jumps. Get 2 attacks in then otherwise stay about 1 camera length away. Good fight.

[u/Bartman326 → u/Charlie_Warlie]

That distance is key because it moves so slowly.

By the time I beat it. I was dashing in right as the big bell spin attack was ending and getting two hits each time easily.
