Nope, I've done it. Same deal as the other weapons, don't get greedy with your hits or you'll be punished, especially swinging a heavier weapon.Is the second boss more or less impossible with a hammer? Although I did last longer compared to 30 seconds when I used a spear before I stopped for the night.
I felt it was even slightly easier actually, I get the same amount of attacks in but they eat more of her stamina than swords.
That's mid stance block+X, the high stance one is stationary. If you can't pull it off, you must have another skill assigned to that. I don't even know if DS has more than one, but you can check in "customize skills".I did find a video that shows how you can cheese the boss to victory, but I can't figure out how the move works. It looks like Water Sword, but he's using it in Mid Stance rather than High Stance, and even then, you can't move while using Water Sword. Any idea how you pull that ability off? I have everything learned under dual katanas.
