Yeah that was tricky to avoid, but I just ran away and on the last strike when she goes in the air I learned to time the role. It was phase 2 that pissed me off.
I just hate how the game is all about memorizing patterns. It’s not like beat saber which requires me to develop new muscle memory, but that’s a different discussion. I think I only enjoyed sekiro out of all their games.
hence why I made the post about how it’s just remembering patterns and knowing where to dodge/roll or keep distance.
