im so dam frustrated with dieing all the time and its always the armored guys that move their shields up and down.

i need a better stratagy than mashing the sword button and going up and down really fast

help me

[zeldusfanaticus]

there is the trick where you jump up and as you come down you slash, if all goes well you should never miss. so jump, halfway down slash, lather rinse repeat, hope that helps

[Lysia]

That's the strategy I use with them as well. Keep jumping and try to stab them in the head.

If you find you take ages to kill them, and keep dying quickly, you should definitely spend some time leveling up. It's tedious and boring, I know, but worth it.

[Mike Pothier]

Yup, the jumping strategy is the best.

If you find you need to level up, those flaming balls that bounce around are the best way to level up. They take a looooong time to kill, but you get a good amount of XP for killing them, they freeze when you attack them, and they respawn very easily.

I always level up to around 6-7 on all three areas right in level one before moving on.

Thank you Now I will be able to kill those things without dieing all the time!

ive tryed the downward thrust but i cant do it

is it like a hidden skill in TP where you cant doit till you learn it...
if so please tell me how to learn it

[zeldusfanaticus]

you get the downthrust from a knight in a house, or its the one on top of the church. but you go to the town in the dessert next to the east ocean and you get the fairy majic there and the downthrust, the downthrust is only useful on weak ennemies, but it is needed for the iron knuckles on horses but on regular iron knuckles and other strong enemies it does no damage

[master sword]

i found that out just today (1-17-09) its too bad the thrust doesnt work on iron knuckles but thanks to you i have been beating them faster and loosing less health to them
thankyou for your help
