Seat of Sacrifice

The QTE goes from "impossible" to "faceroll' as soon as people realize you can use more than one key/button.

My friend was failing blue streak for 3 tries the first time I took them. They were yelling into discord while it went "I'm pressing as fast as I can! IT JUST KEEPS GOING DOWN!"
Then I was like... are you just hitting spacebar?
"Yeah? Should I use another button?"
"just.. smash the entire keyboard"
Next time it came up all I heard on voicechat was "SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH!"

Passed no problem.

Use all the buttons.

Playing on PS4, I can't keyboard smash (it goes into the text box) but I find that two buttons pressed alternately is enough. The D-pad can be used as well as the symbol buttons, though I prefer to shift grip on the controller so I can hit the Triangle and Circle buttons with my pointer fingers instead of my thumbs.

I play on PC with a Razer controller, used to use an XBOX and/or PS4 controller. Same thing.. Push all the buttons. like.. ALL of them. D-pad.. errythang. Maybe not the start button.. but the rest of them count.

Honestly, why not just hit every button on the controller?
Hold it with both hands, and rapidly circle your thumbs in a Clockwise or counter-clockwise fashion pressing the D-Pad and Symbol Keys, and then you Index and Middle fingers can press the triggers.
Simpler QTEs are done in a flash...like 1 whole second. The SoS is programed I think to make you feel pressured but so long as you keep rapid pressing in some way you are good.

Because I don't think it's any faster, or certainly not any easier. I think I can rapid-mash the one button with my finger faster than I can roll my thumb around the other buttons, even more so if trying to do it with two hands at once, and pressing the two buttons is more than enough to fill the gauge. There's no benefit to doing it in one second with difficulty instead of doing it more comfortably and still within the time limit.

Also I'm pretty sure the trigger buttons don't work, otherwise I would just use those.

you can still use the shoulder button can't you.
that's 6 buttons you can smash. 4 shoulders and 2 face with thumbs

As I was saying above, perhaps posted while you were reading the thread, I don't think the shoulder trigger buttons work.

Two buttons is comfortably enough for anything I've come across so far.

I'm fairly sure every button-mash is designed to be beatable if you're pressing one button fast enough, so two makes anything trivial.

I've never had an issue. I usually run my fingers over the d-pad and the buttons on the right side as quickly as I can in circles and I rarely have any problems. My thumbs are usually a tiny bit sore after but they're fine by the time Emet's cutscene finishes.

I only use two buttons when i do the quick time events. I'm on ps5 so I will either use the two you use or X and O and they're perfectly adequate.
