@kyleforrester87 I knew it...

@JohnnyShoulder I'm now stuck on this one and it's doing my head in, as it were.

@Mergatro1d Ha Ha good one! Yeah I found the 2nd phase relatively easy once I sussed out the a way that worked for me. You need to be patient and keep your distance so as not get caught in his terror breath attack for too long. Try and deflect his sword attacks. Only attack when he does his weird floor lunge and jump over him and get a couple of swipes. He will also do a huge overhead sword attack, which if you deflect will stagger him so you can get a whole load of attacks in.

How long are people’s saves? Mines like 20 hours, according to HLTB people are clearing the main story in 26 hours or so. Am I mega slow?

@kyleforrester87 Yes, so slow you might as well be going backwards.

I've not checked my save file yet, I've only got as far as I have cos I've been off exploring when I've been stuck on a boss.

@Rudy_Manchego Well done! Lady Butterfly is a right mo fo. I found her much easier (so to speak) taking her on when I hade levelled up a bit more.

All the bosses have at least two heath bars, main ones tend to 'power up' in their last stage and gain extra moves etc.

@kyleforrester87 I'm on 47 hours, but my excuse is having to do the review and guides

I have spent about 12 hours getting 2 hours into the game it seems.

I wouldn't worry too much about the time or going slow.

Mine is 28 hours so far I think but a good 20 of that was me still getting used to the controls and it probably took me about 10 just to get past that bloody ogre! I believe I'm about 3/4 through the game now

Play time: 67 hours. Blimey. I wasn't expecting that. I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed lol.

67 hours lol

Urgh just tried captain badass again, couple more hits and I’d have beaten him first time but I messed up.

AND HES DOWN! Jesus Christ that took all week 😂😂

@kyleforrester87 Well done! The next few bosses aren't so bad, defo not as difficult as that guy.

Well done man. Agree that a lot of the next bosses are a level down. Wait til the next difficulty spike though. I feel like I wanna cry right now just thinking about the one I'm on!

@roe Where you at now? I just killed the first corrupted monk. That village was a bit of a slog to get through. I can now breathe under water! I believe that when you go back to the castle things change and it get invaded or something? I can't fast travel there anyway.

@JohnnyShoulder I'm at the guardian ape. It doesn't feel impossible just taking me a while to get to grips with the last phase of it

@roe Yeah it's a bit different to most other boss fights as he is quite slow at times and does that delayed attack thing a lot. Deflect his overhead smash and you will stagger him.

@Frigate I’ve seen a few of those GF reviews. I don’t like them very much. They come across as poor humor and just not very well lit together to me.

So I think I'm near the end now. If you want to see all the endings make sure you back up a save to a usb stick or something if you don't want to play the game again. There is a decision you make which then pans out how the rest of the game turns out. You either fight a couple of bosses and then the ending or you fight a boss and then continue playing for a bit longer.

@JohnnyShoulder any totally spoiler free suggestions on “the best” one? I.e A, B, C? I love the game but doubt I’ll play it again in a hurry.

Although you never know.

I’m up to the guardian ape
