| Mr Khan said: :/ I lost to Ghirahim. Sword combat is too unpredictable and the shield is useless Otherwise i enjoyed the first dungeon too. Pity. |
I was still getting used to sword combat then so I found him tough as well, though I was also not really using my shield, which I should have been as it's a good way to get past the first bit where he keeps trapping your sword in his fingers (there are a few ways to avoid him trapping you to get through that part quick, I tend to start with an underarm swipe, then I equip the shield and move up to him before a second underarm swipe, then keeping the shield up I start to do side dodges before strikes, doing it this way seems to deter him from catching your sword [though it's usually easy enough to detach yourself if he does catch it, so you shouldn't get hurt till he starts using his sword])
*the above spoiler is not so bad, anyone who has finished dungeon 1 it won't really be a spoiler, the following spoiler is later in the game*
The first time I got to fight that battle again playing the dragons games I brought him down in 28 seconds, (admitedly you get to use your current sword, which means double damage and more reach, but it probably took me 10 minutes the first time as it took a while to figure out how to hit him without him catching the sword)
