If an area is too hard for you, explore elsewhere and come back later.

He was near impossible when I first fought him but became piss easy one I got the sprint and came back. Lure him near the left exit

>>719861975 (OP)
He’s not even that hard, when he raises his sword he’s gonna slam and I think jump which means you always walk under him.
When he holds his sword to the side he’s gonna side slash combo so you jump.
Pay attention next time, I beat him without the dash

>>719861975 (OP)
Wheee the fuck is the merchant in hunters march that sells the boomerang. Ive explored the whole area. Wa si fed bad information

>>719861975 (OP)
I just burst him down lol

>>719861975 (OP)
itt: faggit uses faggy lyrics to try to convey his gayness.

1) stand near his dust cloud
2) if he squats, hold still and run under him, getting free hits when he lands
3) if he pulls back the axe jump and pogo him in the face (don't hold forward, bounce away and then pogo back into him)
4) alternatively you can run backwards and throw knives at him or throw the needle for huge damage
5) if you are afraid you can lure him into the hallway and remove his jump. Walk back and forth between axe swings to keep him stuck.
you have so many options here it's unreal

>>719861975 (OP)
Yeah, I beat him without dash. I’m pretty cool.

Just so you know these guys are normal enemies later on

Brings me back 10 years ago when I was with a group of friends watching a fireworks show and this song started playing with some really spectacular fireworks and I looked at my female friend, she looked at me, and I just went for it and kissed her just as the "Why are you my clarity" part sung. Was magical. We dated for 2 years after, she broke it off because she thought the age gap was too big (I was 30 she was 19). Though I think her jelly whore friends convinced her of that nonsense.

The problem is not understanding the simplistic moveset of enemies like these, it's the fact that they have retarded high HP and do retarded damage. Essentially you need to do the dance sequence of dodge - punish about a hundred times, and any slipup means taking massive damage. So repeat the task a hundred times with a maximum of 2 mistakes. You end up losing through sheer attrition.

This piece of shit hit me for 3 damage one time and it made stop the night.

Did this guy make this look easy or does it take awhile to learn when to parry? https://youtu.be/AWKF9665_zw

OP here, I got the fucking dash and it became trivial. Now I'm dying on the rose petal things you have to dive on. The dive loses its hit box in the later half and it's weirdly disjointed. Also idk if it's my controller or the game but it doesn't register some of my inputs sometimes. My thumb hurts from down diving ... ywouch

>>719863349
That's CLASHING, not parrying.

>>719863349
I just parried his ass and didn't get hit. Just needed to have some confidence

>>719863860
Fine, whatever, is it easy to do though? Is it an upgrade/skill that needs to be unlocked or is it innate? Should I just jump in and try to clash swords with the big guy?

>>719861975 (OP)
Honestly, I just cheesed this fight (I didn't have dash). Move to the left side of the low section, he pops up, I give him a smack, move to the right side, pops up again and I give him another smack. Repeat until dead.

>>719864628
To unlock it, you need to GIT GUD

>>719861975 (OP)
I beat him by parrying his jump attack over and over since the wind up is so long but I guess you're supposed to get a dash or something

>>719862896
>maximum of 2 mistakes.
Healing exists retard-kun

>>719863349
This is gunna be a good speedrun game

>>719864881
I parried his jump attack and his combo attack, didn't have the dash or anything. I was wondering if I was supposed to have some upgrade to dodge the jumping attack, but then I remembered seeing some parry video from Hollow Knight and just tried it

the entire area past him in hunters march is AIDS with the new pogo move

>>719862129
Nope, he has the same tell for his jump and his dash forward into double attack

It's the worst designed enemy in the game, normally every time I die it's because either I fucked up or the enemy has a bullshit design
This is the first enemy in both games where that isn't the case, instead I kept dying to his retarded design and easily cleared him once I stopped actually trying to engage with him and brute forced it by ignoring his attack patterns and only taking free hits

People pretend he's somehow okay because he's easy to beat with upgrades and there are 2 ways to cheese him (pogo and camping left side) but there is something really wrong when I can no-hit NKG but keep dying to this guy even after I started pausing before every attack
The only way this guy works as a boss is if you're supposed to parry every single one of his attacks which is doubtful due to how difficult it is
