Re: Wolf's Dungeon
The orc really isn't all that hard. You just have to think about how you attack instead of being an idiot and mashing buttons in its face.
Reliable strategies:
1: Use forward+attack (kick) from its maximum range. Follow this by jumping straight upwards and kicking - the orc will usually walk into it. Hold ctrl(guard) upon landing and wait for the orc to attack. The moment you see it, tap back to backstep it.
It's important that you dodge on reaction, or at least wait until the orc is right in your face before just doing it. If you move before the orc attacks it will follow you and you'll get backed towards the wall.
2: Stand in front of the orc at the same range as above, but keep jumping straight up and kicking. You're not aiming to hit; you're aiming to miss in front of it. If the orc walks forwards it will get hit so block/dodge its attack the same way as above. If the orc walks backwards you can follow it and start again.
This is slower than the first strategy, but is less likely to get you backed into the wall. If the orc is already on the far right you may as well jump forwards instead of upwards to guarantee the hit.
3. Jump forward kick and hold block upon landing. Take the orc's attack regardless of what it is.
- If the orc attacks normally, attack once and block again. Repeat.
- If the orc grabs, don't wait for the arrow. There is no penalty for getting it wrong, so quickly press every direction. Start with backwards so if you react fast enough you'll backstep and not even have to deal with it. After escaping the grab, do another jumpkick.
This is riskier in terms of taking damage, but it can be done with your back to the wall, and it will force the orc back as long as you deal with its grabs properly.
