Okay, let’s talk about my journey through those darn duels in Ghost of Tsushima. I gotta say, it was a wild ride.
When I first started the game, I was all about honor and facing my enemies head-on. The game even tells you that’s the honorable way to do things. So, I dived into those duels with the mindset of a true samurai, looking my opponents in the eyes before delivering the final blow. It felt right, you know?
But man, those duels were tough. I quickly realized that it wasn’t just about swinging my katana around. I had to pay attention to every little detail. The timing had to be spot on, and it was frustratingly difficult to create some distance between me and the other guy. It felt like I was glued to them or something. I tried to change my armor many times. Then I found that the Samurai Clan Armor worked best for me. Usually, I hardly get any resolve during duels, but with this armor on, taking hits actually filled up my resolve meter. That was a game-changer because I could heal or unleash those special moves more often.
I remember one duel with this guy named General Dogshin. Everyone said he was the easiest, but he was no walk in the park, I’ll tell you that. His health bar seemed to stretch forever, and I had to remember to switch to moon stance to even scratch him. I fell for his tricks a few times, got impatient, and paid the price. But I kept at it, learned his moves, and finally took him down. It took some tries, but I learned the importance of patience and determination.
Then, someone gave me a tip that changed everything. They said, “Watch the feet, forget the arms.” At first, I was like, “What? Feet?” But I tried it, and holy smokes, it worked! I started focusing on my opponent’s feet, and I could anticipate their attacks much better. It was like a revelation.
- If I saw their feet shuffle closer, I knew an attack was coming.
- I started dodging and parrying like a pro, weaving through their attacks.
- I even found out that if I did a roll dodge, it would reset my stamina.
Oh, and another thing! For those quick jabs, I found that dodging to the side worked wonders, and for the regular light attacks, parrying was the way to go. Those tips saved my hide more times than I can count. In the end, I got the hang of it. I was anticipating attacks, dodging, parrying, and using my resolve wisely. Those duels that seemed impossible at first became manageable, even enjoyable. I felt like a true samurai, mastering the art of the duel. It was all about observing, adapting, and striking at the right moment.
So yeah, that’s my story of overcoming those duels in Ghost of Tsushima. It was a journey of learning, adapting, and eventually mastering the blade. And let me tell you, the feeling of finally conquering those tough opponents was incredibly satisfying.
