Since it is an optional one (“just” guarding a Stray Bead) you can ignore him and still enjoy the entire story without missing out on anything, but the little completionist in me just HAS to beat him every time.
In the Switch version you can record and replay the clip, then solve the “puzzle” ingame as long as you don’t let go of the brush button for the entire time (otherwise it’s an automatic fail). The PSII version does not offer this workaround, and after a couple dozen tries I got so impatient that I grabbed an erasable marker and drew the lines between the dots on the TV screen. Still took me three more tries to actually beat him.
I don’t doubt that there are some people who didn’t have any problems with Blockhead at all, but I’m curious about possible other workarounds. So, how did you do it?
It’s been a while since I played Okami, I think I just kept trying till I eventually got it.
Ironically, it was the fishing that got me to give up my completionist run. Couldn’t get one fish that supposedly was common. Spent at least 4 hours constantly fishing before I gave up
I got this game around the time it came out and I remembered dropping it, but not why. Reading your post now makes me think Blockhead was the reason why haha. I should get back around to this and perhaps skip this fight
