This will be my first playthrough of the game and on the hardest mode. Combat plays great so far with tight control and evasion.
Deaths will be edited out and some menus. Everything else including cut scenes will be left in to show the game. If I get lost for too long I may edit it down.
Thanks to radarcannon for bringing this game back to my attention. It should be a blast to go through.
Check out his channel. Lots of genuine content.
I will provide some details for tackling the harder parts as well.
For the ice giant it is very easy to roll away from his attacks and hit him. Not much to that fight.
Shadow War can be a little tricky with the scythe weapon only. He can take long to drain.
I found him super easy using the axe I had however. It has 91 attack and is faster than the hammer weapon it seems. So I just went with this and would generally hit him 3 times after rolling away from his attacks. Its best not to get greedy. You can adapt in the moment but if you are having trouble then stick to maybe 3 attacks after each dodge. I would reccomend using an axe.
