Yeah, you retreat right after a big blow. And then you can follow up right afterwards with a strong attack by pressing R2. However with agile enemies you can get hit before the attacks lands since your character does a slow swinging motion. So it’s important to read the enemy’s movements to determine when they are most likely to attack first. I wonder if the Bloodhound’s Finesse is effective against Malenia?
Haligtree is an impressive location. I love its level design and the location itself.
The funny thing about the ballistas, Haligtree knight duo, and Tree Avatar is that you were supposed to look ahead and instead take a detour (by taking a hop to the nearby balcony with an archer and walking relatively unhindered with the exception of a Cleanrot Knight to the site of grace) just like at the start of Stormveil Castle. As for the Avatar, it cannot follow you down the stairs and is easily lured away from the knights from behind. Easy to cheese.

uses with that awesome purple shockwave
I can't recommend enough the Ruin's GreastswordWatching a Farum run and it looks Im almost 70% through..Only missed like 2 or 3 items i think. Not bad. But need to progress. Saw someone about 2 armor sets! Sweet.
Btw my Uchikatana is is now 25+ Second maxed weapon. Wanna go for a Hammer of another Collosol Greatsword. Maybe that one
??At anyone here,
How do I return to Farum after leaving to farm a bit
Google isn't helpful
Please
This boss constantly keeps moving. I hate him xD
From the site of grace before the boss (named "Under the bridge" or something like that), go back and take the lift. Run past the room with water and the beastmen casting lightning. Go out of the room and straight away. Check the edge of the cliff, you can drop on some ground underneath (there is usually messages if playing online).
The thing with this is there's no way of giving hints, you either spotted something in the distance, guessed it wasn't just background, and searched for it; or you were told exactly where it was by someone that did. I get that's where the message system comes in, but this boss was obscure. Isn't there only one reference to it in the whole game?
Watch some Malenia fights you YouTube and try to pick up on the general gameplay style (positioning, aggressiveness, etc) as well as the reactions to individual attacks.
I agree. I miss it. Even after a friend told me to explore really well Farum Azula.
My experience on PS5 as someone who isn't sensible to framerate drop and others "major" technical issue :
I don't even know what it is xD
You can never have enough pots!
For crafting ? Maybe they are all "filled".
Stay close to it on its side and spam your strongest attack, whether it's physical or a spell or anything. Don't stand in front of it. Its grab attack killed me easily. If you stay far from it, it'll summon the meteors and they are hard to dodge. So stick close to Astel's side and you should be fine.
I can't be clear enough about this: fuck those birds.
So you didn't decide to maybe kill them all, release how many souls you got, then rinse and repeat? You big softie. To be fair for a long time I ran past them and farmed the actual aggressive ones in the large area
The poor jars in the Stormveil Castle are still weighing on my conscience..
I just learned about the farming trick! It’s so hilarious watching the bird fall to its death after getting poked by an arrow and trying to reach me. I quickly gained some 3-4 levels. Went back to Kalé and bought 50 arrows lol. Best farming spot by far
100%, and it's not even obscure like others. Darriwil is easy to get to, and even if you can't beat him solo the game points you in the direction of Blaidd who can probably solo the fight. If you started as Samurai, that's just 2 points in Dex and you're done for two handing. On the subject of Finesse, the followup attack actually being a BHStep and giving you the iFrames is huge (and again, very stylish). Usually you don't get access to that until Caelid or Volcano Manor. I'm glad they haven't nerfed it, it must have been by design to help the game be accessible to more people.
