i'm like level 31, hunter's axe, +3

is the gun worth anything at all for enemies/bosses of her size?? when you guys say "visceral" you mean hitting her with a fully charged r2 attack and then r1 right? should i use the short form of the axe or the long form for this??

long form of axe if you want to actually stun her for a visceral.

yes the visceral attack is where you usually hit a fully charged r2 to stun them and then use r1 to do that move where you stick your hand in them and rip em apart essentially.

though you dont necessarily have to use the fully charged r2.

some bosses, when you hit them enough times, such as amelias butt (and head too i think), they will get stunned, and it will make the same sound as if you did hit them with a charged r2.

so you'll want to use the long form of the axe as it will cause more damage and stun her quicker.

and yes, try to stay behind her.

firearms are generally worthless in most boss arenas unless the boss is humanoid, so you're much better off two-handing that axe

the only exception in amelia's case is the flamesprayer as she's weak to fire, but your opportunities to use it against her would be limited and it does pretty pitiful damage at its base level

visceral attacks are those attacks that have their own special animation (during which you're invincible), fully charged r2 quickly followed by r1 only triggers an animation if the enemy can be backstabbed which isn't the case with amelia

her visceral is triggered when you r1 her head while she's collapsed (head down on knees/forearms, achieved after relentless strong attacking of the hind legs)

also, if you have an ample supply of fire paper, now wouldn't be a bad time to use it

the gun can't stun most bosses of that size, no. you'll want to use behind-the-back charged r2s to stun instead to get viscerals

on the other hand, i do believe you can also stun amelia for a visceral opening by simply hitting her in the head enough. many bosses have similar weak points.

did they give you an especially hard time lol

the pyromancer was p. annoying but i tried to just keep him on the other side of that large and conveniently placed tombstone at all times while picking off the other two

and to be honest i was probably a bit overleveled for that boss lol

anyway, i think i've now picked forbidden woods clean of anything of value, i look forward to never having to revisit it again :)

onward to the next area, whatever that turns out to be[/spoiler]

[spoiler]yeah, they were one of the 3 bosses that gave me any real trouble, being them, vicar amelia, and the blood-starved beast.

i don't believe any other boss gave me any special trouble besides them, not that I haven't died to many sillydood; [/spoiler]

All that means is that I'm virtually guaranteed to struggle on those bosses that you had an easier time with. goowan

i first killed the pyromancer, then the extendosword man, saving the fire katana weeaboo for last

said weeb, btw, is easy locked into repeatedly sidestepping. idk if the others will do the same. but yeah you just hit him, he sidesteps afterward so you can't combo him. so you hit him, he sidesteps, you hit him, he sidesteps...and never retaliates if you keep doing this

Nyerp

killed amelia. thanks guys :)
