This guide helps explain certain details and provides essential tips about this penance. It also includes a video showing examples of both unsuccessful and successful attempts.
Information and Tips
- Yes, the improved ability, now with two charges, also counts towards the penance.
- To accidentally hit the mutant while dashing, aim the dash to the side of the mutant and strike with the outer edge of a heavy attack. The hammer works best due to its sweeping heavy attack, reliably one-shotting a mutant when charged.
- Other weapons may fail because their attacks stop the dash upon dealing damage. Targeting the mutant with the dash can hinder you by stopping when you’re close enough to strike.
- Play on Uprising difficulty for more mutant spawns. “Hanging back” might make a mutant spawn targeting you. Someone else may explain this better.
- Some have achieved the penance with chain swords. Rev up the sword, hit the mutant, and activate a charge right before the killing blow to maintain the “charging” state.
- Perfectly timing a direct charge with any melee weapon or accidentally getting the penance in normal gameplay is possible but relies on luck due to the janky requirement to get the kill during the movement part of the ability (not just using the damage bonus from Chastise the Wicked).
- The mutant doesn’t need to be moving during the attack; I killed mine just after it hit a wall and stopped moving.
