3) Do big stabs (press the button and wait I think then press it again)
4) If you’re doing big stabs and his life bar isn’t going any further there’s another weak spot to stab. Oh and the glowing weak spot stops glowing an’ all.
5) Stab the weak spots and it falls over.
Hmm, I only saw the one weak spot near his ankle, which I stabbed till he knelt down. And then I clambered up to his head, where there was a blue spot, which I couldn't seem to stab.
Perhaps I missed other weak spots on the way.
Clearly my failure is the product of my own ineptitude, but the controls are a bit... shit, aren't they? He doesn't seem to jump when I want him to jump. He doesn't stab when I want him to stab. Is there an element of timing one's button presses?
It's a hauntingly beautiful game though, and I look forward to conquering those big bastards (my wife, rather astutely, was quick to ask "Why the fuck are you attacking it?")
