Same here, I keep riding around on the horse and exploring. No matter where I go there is some immeninent death awaiting haha.Damn I have barely done any of the main quest yet. I just like going and finding dungeons and taking out whatever big bastards I can find in the open world. Uchigatana with sheathe attack is a madman in boss fights.

I haven't done any part of the main quest because I don't feel ready at all.
I did end up going to this well and took an elevator down that took like 45 seconds to reach the bottom of what looked like a complete different map.
I quickly took it back up right away because there was no way in hell I should have been in that place at my level.
Has anyone beat the Night's calvary that spawns only at night near the southern portion of the map? I know he drops an ashes of war shield barricade that blocks 100% of attacks.
Been trying to attack him on horse as well as on foot but his weapon he uses always gets me. I'm level 20 but my broad sword is not upgraded yet so I'm not sure if I should even be trying to fight him but I really want that sheild perk before I go to the castle.
Is there really any reason to upgrade a crossbow? It seems like all it does is make the melee with it stronger. Does it make the bolts do more damage too?
I've found the brass sheild which does 100% block on damage. I also noticed it's easier to just block on foot and then R1 right away or r2 but he usually gets me. The trick is to avoid as much as possible his flail weapon when he's swinging it.Though his attack was a lot easier to dodge than Tree Sentinel's, though I did both fights on foot. Make sure to target him and not the horse as if you kill the horse he'll just respawn it 30 seconds later. Probably should upgrade your weapon as early as possible though.

I think I will have to take some time and upgrade my weapon first and see if I can get some more damage on him.

Finding the timing on mount is very difficult. His movement of the weapon is too quick and it's difficult to get close to him to attack on the side where he doesn't have the weapon.I tried foot but had to turn to mount. I would just make sure to do a burst when getting close and then circle to his back. Won't lie, took me a dozen tries to get the timing down.
This game is so frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Don't know how many trips I made to fight Rennala and kept getting wiped in the second phase. This morning, went and did a few other side quests, changed my weapon to Heavy and came back and beat her without being hit. I'm at 9 unlocks as far as boss/story progress goes.
How do you do the unsheathed attack while holding something in your left hand? I always go two handed when I want to do that because holding L2 does other stuff depending what is in my left hand.Speaking of frustrating, I have been dual handing the uchigatana the whole game because I don't want a shield's special attack (usually parry) overriding the unsheathe special attack from the uchigatana. Then I find there is an ash or war called "No Skill" which lets me remove the special skill from the shield so I could use a shield and still have unsheathe available from my uchigatana. Oh well I thought, at least I'm doing more damage with the uchigatana by dual handing it. Did a test against some sort of stronger enemies and nope, not a damn bit of difference single or dual handing whether for light attack, heavy attack, charge attack, jump attack, or either of the unsheathe attacks. So basically I have been playing without a shield for no reason whatsoever. Fine for bosses, I hate using shields against bosses, but makes dungeon runs way harder without using shields.
