No worries mate, thanks for the help so far. Now that I've got more use to locking on, its going fairly well. Strange that I can get better hits in with the axe but i admit that you can get caught out easily if you mistime your slash combo.What do the Spectre's do? They don't seem to do anything, just sometimes see a silhouette of a hunter.
Overall, this game seems to be sticking with me and hooking me out of destiny for abit (shock). The no map, no objective really appeals to me. Obviously I must've been the only one who missed dark souls!
