Got to the second region of Khazan on both NG and NG+ for the normal difficulty run. NG+ is definetly more "difficult" than NG in that you take more damage and the enemies are tougher but it's just more fun to have the skill set and there's more freedom in building with the stat points so I'm gonna take a chance and run with the more fun one and hope for the best with the final fight. I figure I will make a cloud save before the end boss, kill him on normal with two phases and pop that trophy and then reload, fullfil the true ending reuirments and drop to easy for the three phase fight. No matter what I do here it's gonna be rough at the end, even fighting the boss again on easy would be rough so I'm choosing fun on the way there over just rethreading ground.
I'm at the first boss of the second region and he was the easiest boss of the game the first time around but this is my first roadblock, fucker one shots with some attacks, I'm 10 levels under the suggested but fucked if I'm going grinding since levels mean shit all apart from getting a better weapon that does slightly more damage and a very slight difference, I'll make up those levels with side conent when it starts to drop a few more missions. I musta "got gud" though cause I only died to the Spider boss prior to this and a few stupid deaths due to posture breaks on the NG run. Ng+ is so much fucking fun though, I won't even be mad if I get roadblocked, despite the "difficulty" my character is basically a DMC character now and I have so much depth of combos it's crazy, not as much depth as Nioh 2 with the stance switching but way more agility which is crazy cause this games worst aspect is it's stanima system, they really should allow for players to express what they've created here instead of limiting things artificially just so it can be called a soulslike. I hope they change their mind on this and open up the stanima and provide skill points more frequently, at any rate it just takes some building to get around but that limits the way you can build in other ways. Still bonkers fun.
