    Thank you for this video, I have been really enjoying your content. I am a new player on my first playthrough and this helped me understand how to block better with 2h weapons. This game has a steep learning curve but once you pick up the tricks it gets so much easier. Thank you for helping me take a few more steps deeper into this game.

    I know the run's already over, but I kid you not when I say that the Smithscript Cirques would have solved your Elden Beast problem. The range and homing make them really good for guard counters, even if the damage is a LOT lower.

  • @babakzk
    @babakzk Місяць тому +1

    Basic question.. But can you guard counter with every weapon and on every attack? Also is there a window of time near enemy's attack that should be used to counter, or you can hold guarding position indefinitely until they land an attack?

    • @unuseableb
      @unuseableb Місяць тому +6

      You can guardcounter every attack you can block so basically everything but grabs and yeah you can just hold block indefinitely.
      In the dlc they added a physick tear that makes it so if you push block right as an attack is about to hit you (sort of parry) you will get 100% physical damage negation, 75% status and elementsl negation and reduced stamina damage, regardless of your blocking tools guard values. Blocking repeated attacks also boosts your guard counter damage and poise damage in tiers up to 4

    • @1umbreon4life
      @1umbreon4life Місяць тому +1

      As for the "every weapon" question, you can guard counter with any weapon you can two hand. You can also guard counter by blocking with a shield. So, twinned weapons can't guard counter without a shield, and neither can a select few one-hand exclusive weapons like the Grafted Dragon.

    The code for Malenia being immortal during certain animations is their shitty way of fixing her being instakilled into phase 2.
    But Fire Giant had basically the same issue and is fine.

    • @simonealcazar816
      @simonealcazar816 Місяць тому

      I think the difference is that her HP goes to zero unlike the Fire giant. Not to mention she doesn’t get her full hp in 2nd phase. I assume that they want her to not have her phase 2 to not be completely full and that’s what causing the issue with her.
