I have been trying to use this kite since I first arrived at the Temple. I finally cracked it!

I had puppeteer equipped from earlier, because it sounded cool. I thought the move itself was used during combat, to gain an advantage. This was the first realization I had that it could be used for progressing quests.

Have you met the centipede giraffe?
Deep in my blind playthrough, and just around the time I thought I had the game figured out, I met the giraffe in his normal habitat of a small room. It taught me that you can't hold down LB and get away with it any longer. That won't fly. You can't swing from the ceiling anymore. You are going to have to PARRY. Get right up in the giraffe's face and say, I'm not going to be pushed around any longer. I'M COMING FOR YOU GIRAFFE. GOTY.
