1. energy mantle protects you from Miki's compell. just make sure you have enough mana to keep it up at all times and you're golden. she will drain your mana occasionally, so be prepared to counter that.I'm sorry but... how??? I honestly find the gameplay for the fights with the main bosses extremely grindy and annoying. (much worse than tower of trample for example) As in, I have almost 12 hours of playtime, (lots of that time I just spent trying to get events at college or in the city with the various girls, but still) I'm energy level 17, I always use mental preparation before battles, (and keep reactivating focus! when it runs out) and Miki is still virtually undefeatable! And that is on "very easy", not on easy mind you! I also make sure to hit all the QTEs, but it's pointless, cause she always eventually one-shots me with a "compell"/"face trample" combo, which is enough to deplete my whole lifebar before I even get the chance to drink a potion!
I like this game and I agree it has a pretty interesting story, nice mysterious atmosphere etc, but I feel that the boss fights are way too damn frustratingly hard! I also bought equipment from the store in Sentinel city, and I read in the old guide that you should be able to progress the story with Miki even by just losing to her till she gets bored and lets you take Dominic, but I must've already lost to her at least 30 times and that didn't happen... How on earth do you beat her? Do I need to just keep grinding levels till I'm past 20, or is there a good Miki strategy I just didn't think about?
2. forget about the stores in sentinel city. go to the blacksmith in the village not too far from vhidna and get yourself some iron/steel armor or something and a decent weapon.
3. going up levels doesn't help since the ladies scale up with you. overleveling apparently even makes things harder.
