Current Events > I can't get past the 2nd fucking EMMI lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like the 1st non-tutorial one. All of a sudden my counters have no effect like they did on the tutorial one. Ive died a dozen times and have no idea what to do.

I think buying this game may have been a mistake. >_>

You have to run away or hide from the EMMI's in every new area until you get the super gun thing from another Eye boss

So the name of the game is to just run until I find the weapon? How come my counters arent working, do I just need to work on my timing? Im just surprised not one worked in a dozen tries.

---

The timing is very hard to get, it's honestly easier to just run fast, not caring if it sees you or not.

---

The counter timing is extremely precise on EMMIs. Don't worry if you can't seem to get it. My tactic was to try to "guess" the counter timing (when the flash happens) and press counter about the split second before the flash comes up. But even then I couldn't get it consistently and sometimes the timing is random depending on what grab animation comes up.

---

Yeah, I could never consistantly counter the EMMI either. It's best just to run from them.

---

Yeah the game emphasizes you're not supposed to keep trying to counter it

---

Counter seems to be RNG that gets progressively more difficult. You just have to speed through the areas and (very minor spoilers probably not even worth hiding) explore the area once you destroy the EMMI
---

The counters are intentionally difficult. The game literally tells you, if you see one, just run

Look at the map and plan your route through their zones, and dont get cornered

---

You have two chances to counter, one when it pins you down, and one when it tries to spike you. The red flash indicates the timing. But countering is an absolute last ditch effort.

---

You aren't supposed to be able to counter them very often.
I was told it's a 1-3 frame chance to successfully counter one.

Keep exploring and try to run fast and juke a lot and you'll make it!

---

Counters are an absolute last resort when it comes to EMMIs.

---

Yeah, you're supposed to run from them. Successfully countering them just stuns them for a few seconds, so that you can run.

---

The counter is only supposed to be an absolute last resort. Do your best not to get in that situation.

The timing of it is tricky. You actually have to hit the button slightly before the flash. It also varies, it's not the exact same timing, there's a little guesswork and luck.

Again, you're not supposed to be in that situation at all. It's just one last chance to escape.

---

Yeah you won't have much luck trying counter them consistently. Until you get the Omega Beam, just avoid it as best you can.

---

Do i need to reload the whole save whenever I die because its usually camped outside the door when I respawn

---

Just re-enter and it'll be somewhere else

---

Blitzing to the next area worked the best for me. Trying to hide or juke them didn't seem all that worth it.

Nah. Wait for a moment, then re-enter. It may not seem like it, but the EMMI's do change position when you die. But they're always going to be nearby so that they can chase you..
