Personally, the combat wasn't an issue, the hardest part was doing the maid sequence without getting bummed. The only thing I'd have to add to the above advice is that Ganelon fight 1, his shockwave is range one, Ganelon fight 2 his shockwave is range 2. Sarena's charge shot is range three, and he is perfectly happy trying to walk at you even though a column is in the way and keeping him out of his range.by the light, this game is just too hard for a full virgin run :\
please give me some tips
I guess also there is a weird parry system when you are in your charging stance, I think it reduces damage to 1 on some attacks coming from the direction you are facing, maybe just when you aren't moving? Some enemies do something similar during some of their frames.
