It's always been like that. Locking on is unreliable, and you have to couple that with FROM's shit camera positioning and angles. Learning to manage without using it is almost as critical as learning to parry.
What a faggot.
You can jump it on Torrent. It's a shame Torrent sucks so bad no one wants to try him
Alternatively, Miyazaki wanks to berserk.
wait, there is locking on?
Parry one of them once with the buckler and kill him to get the talisman. Then use assassin's gambit to run past everything.
Too late, I ran through it the hard way. I didn't know you could kill them.
aren't you bestest and strongest player on codex?
It is very much possible to dodge and the hippo boss previously should have prepared you for it
People saying use no lock on are always colossal weapon users who can aim their attack direction. They're wearing basically no armour and closing fights out in like a minute. They have no idea what lock on is used for and when you should and shouldn't use it. They run in circles, get a hit in then run to the other side of the arena and repeat.
No. You can move your body to attack forward but DS2 introduced a specific mechanic for large weapons where the direction you push the stick changes where you attack.
