The terrain mechanics work through basic physics calculations, not complex geometry. When fighting on slopes your attacks adapt automatically depending on the angle and surface. Moving uphill with sword & shield triggers special advancing slash animations while sliding attacks follow natural momentum on curved terrain and ledges. The collision system handles weapon interactions like hammer charge impacts on uneven ground without any advanced math involved just practical gameplay adjustments

When you spot good attack opportunities during terrain-based combat, remember that focus strikes work great after ledge jumps, and sliding moves can create good openings. The physics engine handles all the complex stuff behind the scenes so you can focus on timing your strikes. Might be interesting to know that while it looks smooth and natural the game is really just using simple vector calculations to make everything work properly

Quick check of terrain before engaging monsters makes a big difference, since positioning and momentum affect how your attacks connect
