A way to increase the game's challenge!

This is a interesting way to improve the game's challenge, particularly with the Great -gi hunts.

First, make a Long Sword (if it is your primary, then this challenge really is for you!)

Second, take on a Hunt quest for something that begins with the word "Great" and ends with "-gi" (for example, the Great Wroggi hunt quest.)

Third, win, but try to hit only the quarry's face with either thrusts or overhead strikes.

also don't kill any minions!!! 

I like going through the game using only 1 weapon type, never changing to another, no matter how much easier it would make the next battle.
When I use a Longsword I usually just aim at the enemies head anyways.

also wear a low rank armorset with demonic blessing and short sprinter

And blunt edge with red sharpness hehehe
