[08] Mercenary
This would be my first post on 8WR.com, besides my noob introduction! Yay! Sorry if this is in the wrong category.
This is just a short post about the challenge of Legendary Souls for me; an everyday, average player.
I main Cervantes, I feel confident enough with his moveset to set aside the patience and time for Legendary Souls mode. My first excursion into this dangerous turf was met by a stubborn Kilik, and I quickly abandoned my pursuit.
But in the past hour I have powered through all the way to Algol, as I write this. I had heard from most people that they had not passed Kilik, so I prepared myself maybe for a quick end. I cleared Kilik with ease which surprised me, he was far more daunting the first time around. I guess I've just picked up Cerv more since then. I also bagged the achievement for winning on a Brave Edge! I forged on.
My heart sank when I saw Nightmare was next. I literally felt like packing it in. But with some clever Guard Impacts I prevailed. I also noticed that he was using a costume I recognised from SCIV, as were Sieg and Cerv thereafter. Can anyone let me know if they are available to us at all currently? (Thanks in advance)
Edge Master was the first true hurdle. His punishes after my abuse of the Y button broke my spirit, and my guard meter, many times. But again, I was confident and resilient enough that I pushed my way on. At this point I had taken about 35 minutes. The next fight destroyed what will I had left.
Elysium. What kind of MENTALIST designed her moveset to be so overpowering? It was something I had to come to terms with quick, and I could not find an opening for what must have been 10 losses in a row. Her Unblockable stabbing got annoying, as did the throw spamming, and the CE that just saps my life for no apparent reason? That wore thin. I found her Achilles' Heel with Cerv's 22AA and 3A double slice. The stun and reach of them helped me to while her down enough to get in a couple of Impacts to bring me back on top.
And now here I sit, 1 Hour and 15 Minutes in, in front of Algol; my final challenge. I'll be sure to keep enough sanity to post my final thoughts, but I just wanted to post this because it has been quite emotionally draining for such an average-skilled player. How did the rest of you Fare?
