killed juzou, tried the butterfly lady a few times, thought i had killed her - then the second phase kicked in. decided to leave her for now.
horse back man only took a few tries today. i kind of abused him by sprinting round in a circle till he did his attack which i could grapple, but after a while i started doging under his attacks and trying to stay close to him. seemed to work out.
killed the bull, in maybe three tries. kind of feel like i cheesed him by sprinting round in a circle again. the dodge feels fairly useless against this type of boss.
had a look round the reservoir area a bit, found a jerk down a well and a big spear guy near the tower where kuro was at the beginning. only fought each one once, they're still alive.
explored the castle area a decent amount. the climb up to the antechamber past all of the nightjar guys was pretty great and panic inducing. fought my way up to the dojo, tried the boss once and called it a day.
i feel like this game has been slightly ignored compared to the past couple of from soft games. not sure if that's cause people are a little burned out on them, or cause this isn't an rpg and doesn't have online multiplayer so less of the souls streamer types are playing it. but it's shaping up to be an amazing game.
