Jerp plays Mortal Shell (NG+, Smoldering Mace) pt.3 - End (2020-09-17)
0I'm back to the obsidian temple and bracing for a super tough time. Even knowing where the shortcuts and Sester Genessa are, it's still a really long area, and the Smoldering Mace being a slower weapon doesn't really have a significant amount of damage, range, or stagger power to make up for it. At least this time, the Ballistazooka made short work of the sniper squad towards the end, and the boss itself went down smooth, due to the huge amount of extra resolve.
The final boss on the other hand, is just such a poor matchup for the Smoldering Mace - not enough openings to deal damage with the regular attacks, and it doesn't stay close often enough to blow resolve on specials. Also, the whirlpool phase is especially tough.
I ended up switching to the Hammer and Chisel in a fit of desperation, and the boss went down really smoothly afterwards. Goes to show why it's such a popular weapon - good damage, great resolve buildup, and fast enough to avoid getting caught mid-attack.
I think overall, NG+ may have soured me a little bit on the game - the game's a bit rough around the edges and it shows a good bit more when you take a closer look. Still, I think a little additional polish would go a long way, and I really want to see the developers' next game.
