Tried it a while back and couldn’t get into it. Need to give it another go at some point though as everyone raves about it

just beat the Cogwork Dancers, easily my favourite part of the game so far, absolutely fantastic bit of game design for those pair

That fight is amazing - similar to, but better than the Mantis Lords in HK

I can't think of any lobster type bosses - are they an optional boss?Stuck on those bloody lightning Lobster things, one is tough, then you have to do 2 at once !

Oh actually, is that at the end of the gauntlet in the High Halls area? If you look online, there's a really easy way to beat those, but involves following the majority of the Shakra questlines to their conclusion

ive gone exploring instead, there are bits of the map i havent unlocked yet, that one can wait, few areas now i have been too and need a few bits to get further on, one being the main cog place, i need the double jump for that though, so Mount Fay...

The most helpful advice for Mt Fay I found online is not to press jump too quickly after you use your claw line on the flying enemies. You naturally get a bit of height once you vault off the enemy and pressing jump too soon after the initial vault seems to cancel it out altogether, causing you to fall. It’s a bit counterintuitive as your first reaction is to spam the jump button, but once you get in to the rhythm with it, it starts to feel quite natural

I’d just go and do something else until you can finish all the Shakra related quests. Honestly makes that gauntlet much easier, to the point you can just cling to the wall and watch it all unfold!
I finally got to that 100% completion mark this morning. The proper final boss is probably up there with Consort Radahn from Elden Ring in terms of difficulty for me, but a great feeling to get it done after a week’s torture! Can’t believe there’s people doing 100% runs in under 6 hours 😆😭
Feeling pretty sad it’s over now - only another 7 years to go till the next one I suppose, although I doubt my reflexes will be fast enough at that point 😂

I’m assuming they will release more DLC, as they were pretty generous with the original HK. Incredible how much they packed into the core game already. Similar to the FromSoftware games, some of the really well hidden areas are absolutely massive
Not played the Lost Crown yet, but it’s on the pile!
