Zenpai Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yeah, it's probably the latter, I had a lot of trouble catching the Sea Guardian too while most people say it's easy . That thing can burn in hell. You also had a problem with him? I would not say a problem, but it was quite annoying to deal with. The mini-game isn't as bad as I originally thought, but if you mess up, you have to wait what seems like a fort-night for it to bite again. Having played the original P4 (it was the game that made me get into Persona in the first place), the fishing mini-game is a lot harder on Golden. Granted, it was a bit harder to get the right fish to bite on the PS2, but as soon as it did, you were fine as long as you're good with button mashing. But on Golden... it's a lot more delicate to actually fish the damn thing. And I still haven't even fished the damn Guardian (as you can see in my profile), I'm just saying this from all the regular fishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience it wasn't difficult at all. I was suprised when I first saw that so many people were having problems with the mini-game.

The closer it got to the shore, the more he got away and the faster I had to mash the button, while also timing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closer it got to the shore, the more he got away and the faster I had to mash the button, while also timing it right. That was mainly my issue. Although, I think I held the button rather than tapped it. I tried that and I wasn't seeing any results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myu Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Seriously!? It's possible to hold instead of mashing it until my thumb hurt like hell ??? Yes, hold it while it's in the middle zone then release when it goes to the left or right and so on. I've never tried mashing the button, it must have hurt like hell after a while After watching a walkthrough on Youtube, mashing the button like a maniac seems like the only option for the ps2 version of the game.

Yea, there was no hold option. Since I played on PC, it didn't matter much but I'm sure it took some sore thumbs for those who played on PS2 =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenpai Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I don't remember a hold option in the game . I've just played the game and it's indeed there. Every single time you play the fishing mini-game. (You'll notice the word "Hold" appears right next to the symbol whenever you're in the blue area).

Dragon confirmed to belong to the majority of players that does not read tutorials even though they are served to them everytime Who needs tutorials . That's one of the things I like about the Souls games: tutorials aren't thrown at you every 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I think I got lucky and managed to keep the Helpful Man(?) silenced until he died, so the most I really had to deal with were auto-attacks.

minh2t Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Finally started this! Got my 1st trophy a couple minutes ago so this officially marks it! It's amazing so far, I feel dumb putting this on my shelf for so long. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
