Instead of continuing to bitch that I messed up my build by loading points into Strength while using a longsword some more, I decided to do something about it.

I started using one of the big ass hammers. I forget which one but it's basically a grey rectangle. It really takes some getting used to. I'm used to getting in and getting a few swings in quickly with my sword and getting out. Now I get in and just smash shit left and right and sometimes they hit me but they certainly aren't interrupting me.

I did that castle in the NW of Liturnia. The one that leads to the three towers. Those hands were some of the worst enemies in a game ever. I hate them.

Probably going to finally do the Academy tonight. Level 61, 50 hours in.

Yeah, something I've noticed is that ER actually encourages some amount of trading hits, especially for slower weapons. The guard boost talisman is actually pretty helpful in this regard and will let you make good use of the R2 counter when two handing.
