[Soul Sacrifice] - Out now in stores and on PSN!
Posts
I'm pretty sure that I used it when first presented with the opportunity and I had to use Lacrima to undo my sacrifice. It's very cheap the first time though, like 8 Lacrima or something. It seems like you get a LOT of tears for the amount things cost in the beginning.
If the Vita has games(i use plural since you used "yet another") you want to play, maybe it's about time to consider saving up?
I mean, that's how it works, right? A system has things you want to play so you work on getting it? You wouldn't get a system full of nothing but games you hate, right?

I bought my Vita just for that and I don't regret it. The first playthrough took me near 100 hours to finish.
Although, I did just use the Grave Clod offering to uppercut a Ghoul out of the sky which also killed it.
So, you know...that's awesome.
Oh man you can do that, epic.

Four players, use stone axe and grave clod. Sacrifice some of your friends. My first time we beat him only one of the pub's survived, he had to sacrifice all of us evetually as we ran out of spells/weapons.

I would like to find another group to kill him with though, as I didn't get the timesand from that time.
Not at the levels we've been ristricted to or the spells. You'd need Rock armour, rock homing. Seriously we bearly beat him even with two of the other party members packing Posion golem's, 3 sacrifices and 4 infurnus.

So far the general consensus is that you either have to do it solo, or in a party. AI members don't cut it and since AI teammates add a health modifier to the boss, their uselessness only detracts from the fight.
The thing about Cerberus is that he broadcasts more than a superbowl halftime commercial. He has four main attacks:
-If he crouches to prep a charge, pop one of your shields. He'll bounce off your shield and then collapse on the ground for a few seconds(he gets up more quickly at lower health, however).
-He may instead stop short and leap into the air just before reaching you if he charges. Don't be where he lands. (Watch the shadow)
-If he pulls the spear from his chest and jabs it into the ground, don't be in any of the cardinal directions from the spear's position(relative to the direction the boss is facing). It launches a crawling(and slightly homing) ground lightning in N/S/E/W directions that can immediately kill you if you're not heavy into Holy.
His charge will immediately kill any Orcs in most cases, so ideally what you want to do is line up any Orcs between you and the boss rather than waste offerings killing them.
I've seen kill speeds under two minutes for 1/19 builds, it's all about behavior memorization.
Decent, but you probably won't win any prizes for time.
Abuse the time Cerberus is stunned by charging into your shield at the start of the fight. Just run circles around him and wait for him to charge. Early on, he stays down for a good 5-6 seconds, and that's a great time to use a grave clod or stone axe to tear his faces off. (i.e. destroy cursed parts)
Once he gets lower and spends less time on the ground, that's when you want to change your tactics up and either switch to more long ranged attacks, or start reading his openings to get a couple of melee swings on him. I'm full 19/1 so what I do will be way different(and much more multiplayer oriented), but from what I've read from more dark heavy builds, there's a second or two after each air blade where you can melee him from behind before he begins to do anything else.
If you have access to golems by that point(you can get timesands to make them as a martyr reward on Harpy/Cerberus, or Divine Sorcerer rank on Cerberus), a really effective tactic is to knock him into a wall with your shield or a fully charged fist attack, then plop a golem next to him and keep your shield up. Every time he charges he'll be launched back into the golem's melee swings - which do pretty absurd damage to him at very little risk to you.
Again, don't waste offerings killing Orcs, that's purpose defeating. Let Cerberus charge them to death and sac them when he does something that gives you an opening to do so.
But as for shields, do I need the earth one? Or does ice work as well.
Yeah but you can do that with the Orcs at the beginning before the boss spawns.
In fact, you should do that with all of the Orcs at the beginning, there's just enough to get all three Counter achievements(Counter(1), Many Counters(3), Counter Madness(5), if I have the names right)
Any shield works fine.
An offering we can't get in the demo. Just another type of spell. From the way he hits me and knocks me away from bosses in vital moments, I'm guessing it's a Fire elemental version of the Drake Egg mortar spell.
Nah, the Mortar is called Firedrake Egg. (go fig)
I believe it's something like the lightning quill you can get that does a dashing charge attack. I've seen that character occasionally sailing up and hitting Harpy in the air, so that's my best guess.
I don't know if it'll be a day 1 buy, just because of the timing, but damn I want this game. Well, I also want an artbook of the game's costume designs.

For her specifically,
What will happen every time(it may take a little bit to get the exact timing down), is that you'll slam her with the Irondrake egg and she'll miss you with her Ice mortar - every time. You can easily win without taking damage, and with the highest tier speed bonus.
Curiously, as long as you stay at a medium range from her using mortars, she'll only ever use mortars on you in return.
So yeah, got a few Earth axes.
Yeah, I pre-ordered. There is so much about this game that is done so many kinds of right, and I love feeling like I've barely scratched the surface. I got some of you guys added, I'll get the rest asap. My PSN is SightTDW if anyone is interested.

It will all end then you choose it so!

SE+? Is that some kind of rare drop essence on sac/save?
I meant LE+, but yes. The second Lantern/Harpy fights and the Cerberus fights will rarely give SE+ or LE+ instead of the usual SE/LE. They're used for other Sigils you can get in the demo. I'm just missing the LE+ for Harpy.
Fire beats Poison
Poison beats Stone
Stone beats Lightning
Lightning beats Ice
So yeah should light them up with fire.
Note that orcs(ebil cats) are weak to stone
@Frei I've already put down monies on a PSN preorder.
