Rising Tide Video

SpoilerVideo

Putting a spoiler on this because I don't want to ruin it for someone, but this is a video of me fighting Leviathan multiple times so it's long. It took me multiple tries with the DPS check because I suck at that stupid ray, but I figured it out eventually. I had to retry once on third phase.

Just to give some information: My fighting style is crazy, because it's just crazy. I've put 500 hours into Breath of the Wild and 500 hours into Tears of the Kingdom, I've put 1000 hours into Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.

I literally do not target a thing. I can't. My muscle memory is engrained with those games as well as Hades and Hades 2.

I also don't meta customize my builds. I've never done that. I can't do that either. It's just not my brain or how it works.

I don't use any accessories except the timely ones because they work. It allows me the opportunity to get in a couple of free dodges, it automatically creates my combos so I don't even need to think about it and I can concentrate on dodging and getting hits in. I move the camera myself because that is what I have always done. Having to consciously think about a combo or move while I am trying to zip around and dodge mechanics is just too many things to manage for me.

The thing is, it works. Yes I don't set up Zanzuteken (spelling I don't even know) for an automatic 5. I build up the quick hits and can do burst damage at a few levels which I have demonstrated on other videos.

I beat the entire game fighting this way and I love every minute of it. I am having a huge blast and I hope someone will find this fun too, because I am just that crazy. :)
