For defense, I would actually move the mouse a fair bit away from the body. My advice would be 2-3 apple lengths away from the shield. You want to be able to see when the apple connects with the shield, have enough speed to rotate quickly, and enough accuracy to ensure you don't miss. I have had runs end because my mouse was too close to the person(too sensitive), and you don't really need that kind of speed. The other thing is to mentally "zoom out", and look at the entire screen to react to apples. That buys you more time.
For attack, I would avoid perfect pixel accuracy, but do aim to annihilate things far out. My experience is that the middle lane has the most imminent threats (relative to strike range), but your mileage may vary. I would try to pay attention to all apples that have crossed the right edge of the bookshelf(for reference, the left edge is approximately your range).
I got them all somehow.
1.For attack(definitely the hardest) just keep playing you will get better and after 100-130 combo ignore the stars.
2.For defense(the 3rd hardest) I kept the mouse close to the character so I can rotate him fast, and after 100-130 combo ignore again the stars.
3.For accuracy (the 5th hardest, thus the easiest) I tried hitting the targets but not in the middle I mean if you can hit'em wherever you are good and always charge your bow after hitting.
4.For dodge(the 2nd hardest) if you keep pressing the button after dodging you will get the perfect (just try it and you will understand) and play again and again so your eyes get used to scarecrow's moves.
5.For critical(the 4th hardest), you just need to keep a good tempo i focused on watching the color of his annotations if it was black(the death picture) I did not click and when it was red i clicked.Try to get all the perfects from the clicks and an extra: I kept my finger a bit over the left click so when I got baited by the black I would have space to save myself.
Idea for sword&souls 2 (story only):
You are rogue what meet the river guard(he was a old mage).He told you the river is poisoned.You weren't interrested so you were trying to gone when he told you there is a great treasure somewhere on the deep.Because the river was poisoned you decided to know what happend and try to get this treasure.
Beginning Dialogue:
You:Oh Hi Grandpa.
Mage:Who are you?
You:I am awesome rogue in this forest.
Mage:See i am researching someone who clean the river.
You:And what?
Mage:It's pisoned!
You:Boring.
(You were trying to go when he told you there is a treasure)
Mage:Wait are you want treasure? There is a treasure at the deep but you will die if you jump in.
You:Treasure?
Mage:Yes,clean the river when I lett you take it.I am a guard of the treasure too.
You:Sounds awesome.
Hidden enemy bandit spy(1):He can be a problem.
Hidden enemy bandit spy(2):Let's tell this boss.
I found the dodge training to be easier once it picks up the speed. You just have to feel the rhythm of his attacks and then its as easy as not looking away.
As soon as I figured out what the button did I was up over 500. Gets pretty boring after 600, but it is a great way to level up and then use those points on other skills!
I've a great question for "The training zone " , the critical : Mission number #10, 9 perfect combo of black skull, this not depend by me, and if the scarecrow change to red (mouse) the number of the perfect combo return to zero! I think this is only a question of spending time whitout use your pg,,,just wait the sequence of 9 black skull...
Do you have another solution ?
To get a perfect for critical training, you need to click your mouse twice when you are supposed to hit. The first will send the hero into the air; the second enacts the strike. There's some timing, but it's not terribly hard.
...I really want to get the last two badges but.... That would take my an entire game of just playing this and I don't want to put in that effort. Great game, will probably play again in the future but I'm done for now. 10/10 =D
Don't give up on the very last badge (Beat the Last Boss) -- that wasn't too hard. I have given up on the Psychopath badge; partly because I don't think I can do it, but mostly because I don't want to invest the time it would take.
@alexi823 The more you upgrade your training facility and your hero's accessories, the easier the training becomes. All super gold medals are possible with time and practice.
