I gotta find ways to keep fights interesting, and this was the one thing I could think of because I hadn't done it before. I mean I used 1st person mode before, but not in a fight against even an NM. 'Tis a bit tricky since you can't get a good look at what larger HNMs are doing, and you can't see the shine during your sword skills to chain them, but this is a pretty simple HNM and I'm familiar with his tricks, and I mainly SSC via sound (and muscle memory) rather than actually watching for the shine.

As you can see in the fight, or rather you can't actually see s*** when I start attacking him. But he has two opening attacks, which I have pre-constructed chains as answers for.

If it's Spinning Reaper, then I do my Blazing Spin into Voltage Assault into Nightmare Rain into Tragic End into Veiled Rider to dodge it, or Blazing Spin into Voltage Assault into Starburst Stream into Veiled Rider, or Voltage Assault into Nightmare Rain into Dual Revelation into Veiled Rider. Then continue the chain from there.

If it's Zwei Strike, the Blazing Spin into Voltage Assault into Veiled Rider into Final Revolution into Double Circular into Veiled Rider will avoid both strikes, maybe peppering in another Blazing Spin before one or both of the Veiled Rider if necessary.

Though I can't say I'll be using this on other HNMs. I chose Spectral Treant mainly because it's large and stationary. You can't use lock-on when in 1st person mode. You have to aim manually, and while that makes it pretty useful since it means you can turn while using skills like Eclipse, the controls get kinda wonky when trying to look up or down, in that they won't let you tilt straight up or straight down. So when looking around, it can move weird.

Keeping up with Vengeance Beast when he leaps while in 1st person mode would be a hell of a trip lol.
