Take Your Time
On your journey through Hyper Light Drifter’s world, you’ll come across a number of areas where there will be a multitude of enemies waiting to swarm you to your death. At these points, don’t just go running into the middle and start mashing your attack button. Instead, look at what enemies are there and work out who your priority should be.
Once you’ve done this, use your dash effectively to stay out of the way of danger and get a couple of quick slashes in in between enemy strikes. Keeping your health bar full is more important than taking enemies down quickly.
The same principle goes for boss fights. Rather than running straight over and slashing away, work out their attack patterns and only strike when it is safe to do so. The last thing you want to do is die just as you were about to land the finishing blow on them just because you were too impatient. Take your time and you’ll progress much faster.
