A: If that's an intended mechanic it doesn't behave like one. It looks a lot more like a bug in the way it plays out because jumping off a slope shouldn't logically send you higher than jumping from above the slope (which is the case with that particular climb)
B: The wolves being easy to juke MOST of the time is fine, but they're so commonly placed on tight platforming sections that anything other than aggression 1 makes certain sections (especially in the mountain) pretty much required damage.
C: NO ONE would regularly discover this about the struggling, the mechanic is so unresponsive and has no explanation; there's ZERO indication that's how you do it, and even WITH that, it's a slow and irritating struggle method.
