Don’t Get Greedy or Impatient in Combat
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Tips and Tricks
The other thing to keep in mind with combat is to not get overly aggressive or greedy with your attacks. Senua attacks faster than enemies so it’s easy to get caught up, but getting too aggressive can lead to you getting punished. The best idea is to unleash three or four attacks on an enemy and dodge away before they can counter. This holds especially true if you’re facing off against more than one enemy. It’s critically important with more than one enemy that you only attack a couple of times, then back away to get the rest of your foes in your vision. Anytime you attack an enemy you leave yourself open to attack from the others, and it’s almost impossible to tell when they’re coming if they aren’t in your field of vision.
Enemies will sometimes go into attack animations while you’re attacking them, which can make things tricky. Just make sure you’re keeping a balance of offense and defense, and you should be able to prevail against the darkness.
