I had to knock down combat difficulty to easy... She would have been permadead after my first fight if I hadn't. I was mashing buttons like crazy trying to dodge or block anything... I do not have quick reflexes... So here is what I learned on the fight, Vralvyn (the bird one) on normal mode. DO. NOT DODGE. Just BLOCK. with exactly two exceptions. When he turns whirling tornado to shoot across the room. 2nd, when he jumps high in the air to kinda Smash you with both his scythes. You can use block there too anyway, technically, if you use block there, your character will just fall to the ground and then you'll be scrambling to dodge anyway. By not dodging, but instead just blocking his attacks, you'll have him super close when he finishs. So he attacks your block, you whack him 4 times with quick attack. He'll jump around a lot, but you just wait for him to come ot you with your blocks. Except for those two cases I outlined above.

I already fought Surtr, I think that's who the fire god guy is... Once I can get the hang of these illusion things. It took me a while (longer than I should admit) to figure out I needed to walk through the thingy to see the path, not around. Also, I didn't realize Druth was Hawke. That guy is awesome!

Also, I didn't realize Druth was Hawke. That guy is awesome! Considering Druth's personal story has a strong connection to fire, it seemed perfect that I'd done the Fire God 2nd (last?) as he wrapped up his tale and ushered me on. I wonder if he tells you his story in the same order no matter what.

What took me a while is that I'd need to go through them again, to turn off the effects. Because going through adds things AND removes others. So you will find you have to walk through Gate A, do some stuff, then walk through Gate A again.

I crossed the bridge into hell, and come precariously close to dying twice. Did the goons pick in speed, now?

"Why?" Senua screams -- Aww. Is that her lover?....Those voices aren't helping.

Dylan seems to be fighting in the distance, and I wonder what he is fighting.

The music is really good, and oddly enough, the photo mode makes you feel like you're one of the observers or voices in her head.

So there I am, kinda sympathetically hurting with Sensua as she struggles. When they thrust her into this Golden Wildflower World. And even as she seems to be relieved, I'm feeling dread.
We're going to crash, I just know it.

Relief. @_@ OMG, cmoe , how did you handle it I didn't use headphones for one. I cried several times tbh, and while I don't have psychosis, I feel like a lot of us can relate to a voice in our head telling us we will fail... Or maybe it's just me.

So painfully good.... And I mean painful literally, I'm quite weary. The emotional atmosphere weighs ya down. The voices make you wanna scream, I don't know how the protag isn't just rolling around screaming. I'm tempted to make that 6th picture, with the rain streaking, my desktop.... Nah, I'm doing it.

Such a pretty game. Intense though. I think stopping and playing with the photo mode helped me with the intensity of the game. I felt like there was only so much torment, I... errr, Senua could take before a break was needed.

So I don't know if it gives me a break so much. The Northmen stories by Druth do feel like a break.

Bonus... I could listen to Nicholas Boulton speak all day... I missed a few of the stones along the way without realizing it. It's an achievement that unlocks something. I wish I had known.
