He can rage but even then he doesn't have the chance to do anything. zarron fucked around with this message at 21:56 on May 7, 2013 |

Yeah I'm glad they look good this time. I had a different scar on her face when I was using my original character, but the glasses looked bad with those. And I got the cape from the Black Cat shop (the one my pawn had is from a gift).

Is there a trick to the controller wiggling? I'm level 200 and I shake the thing as fast as I can back and forth-it breaks about anything fast but I can never actually get that broken. I mean it is *fast*. I wonder if I'm actually doing it too fast.(I know that a couple times I looked like I broke it but a pawn had shot the thing from behind.) When I get back I'll have to try a different approach.

I tried the bloody knuckle a bit, it does make punches do decent damage per hit, but it's still so much slower and shorter range than any other weapon (many humanoid enemies can stay outside of its range indefinitely just by dodging), and even the heavy kick doesn't have very much knockdown ability.

Dunno if it's just easier to escape stuff like that on easy mode, but the maneaters are still giving me problems escaping quickly. Something I was wondering about that quest to get the 13 Bitterblack Armaments. Does it have to be the Betrayer/Shadow/Grave, or can you mix and match between those and the Hellfire/Oblivion/Carrion ones? And another quest question, is it just the quest to kill the Silver and Gold Knights in the Everfall that you can't do in the post-game?

I really wish every RPG had a "hide helmet" option for outside of combat. Some head armors have great stats and all but a lot are dumb looking and they cover up the entire head, then you can't see your pawn's faces etc. I just hate that contradiction to customization, then you get games with actual facial animation and it's completely wasted when you're wearing something like that. Only game that does this thing reliably is Dragon Age I think.

RatHat posted:You can kill him, but he has a huge amount of health and does a ton of damage so it won't be easy/quick. You can stand on the stairs and he won't be able to attack you, but good luck attacking his eye from there. Quickest way to kill him without using Blast Arrow spam/Maker's Finger is probably a Sorceror spamming High Maelstrom, or possibly High Levin. Ricochet Shot from Magic Archer would probably work too. For melee, I've gotten way more mileage from ankle biting. There's only one sweet spot on his face that you are vaguely safe and it's dodgy because his constant swinging will bump you, plus the massive stamina drain every time he swings. His face being a weak spot is more about knocking him down and then finishing him off in the face, at least when it comes to melee.

Even with my RE6 tried and true method of putting my palm on the stick and spinning super fast, there's absolutely no way you can escape from that instant kill hammer attack unless your pawn helps you. You'll always get right close to the end and get up, but he'll kill you just as it happens, proving this is just the designer being a dick. The escape QTE in this game is just plain stupid anyway because half the time it never works because it fills way too slowly. The only things you can reliably escape from are Wolves, Ogres and Cyclops, but NOT the cyclops grab where they are frenzied and using both hands. Your only defense is not getting grabbed at all.

I beat Daimon for the first time last night with my Strider/Sorcerer Arisen/Pawn. A pretty enjoyable fight, but nowhere near as metal as the Grigori fight (but what is?). Once I was able to get on his head and start doing the Strider thing to it, the health bar just started melting away. Still, took awhile to get to that point. I need to see about getting my xbox hooked up to the internet. The RC costs for these level 3 things are expensive. (alas the layout of the house would mean I'd need to run a long USB or buy one of those too-expensive Xbox wireless bits. I probably have a cord somewhere...)

Do pawns reliably use "Skull Splitter" when they're set as Striders? I'm inclined to just switch that over to Implicate.

Implicate is amazing. It is the reason I use Strider over Ranger with my Arisen. (Elder) Ogres and Eliminators even have vulnerable frames where it can stun them or even pull them to the ground. You can yank those spellcasting jerkoff evil pawns right out of their malestroms. Even if you aren't immediately following up with an attack on their vulnerable prone forms, tearing all over the battlefield knocking enemies down can give the rest of the team time to set up their own spells or attacks.

Seconded. If me or my Pawn can use Implicate, it never ever leaves the skill list. It's saved my rear end so many times and is amazing for setting up openings or just giving yourself some breathing room to buff or reposition.

I don't know about this, I tried to test it a few weeks ago on my main character. I had Gorecyclops, the baby ones that always frenzy, being stunned pretty often and I tried using it on them, even from behind, wasn't doing anything. Eliminators and some other Bitterblack enemies (Living Armor is one) also just get up immediately so that's sort of a drawback. To answer my own question though, the pawn seems to wait for enemies to get closer to each other and then runs in to use it, or they'll use it when they're surrounded I think. Still, just for utility, I'll probably put it on anyway, since I've set this strider up to be all about climbing and damage. I'll post it later to the list for those who need something like it.

Haha tell me about it, i was running around with 3 high pitched pawns and 1 deep voiced pawn earlier and it made for some hilarious chatter. I hope Herpina did not let you down, she usually does an awesome job with me but im still trying to understand this pawn stuff. I sit in a chair with her constantly and tell her to shut up and make sure im ok… at least i think. So hopefully thats what shes doing with others. Thanks for using her! ill have to grab yours! Its been a blast renting a bunch a goon pawns.

I changed my pawn to a Strider a few days ago and when she uses Brain Splitter (upgraded Skull Splitter from a ring) it tears poo poo apart. I'm not sure if Eminence, the augment that boosts jumping attack damage, stacks with it. If I switch out a skill it will be Shearing Wind for Implicate.

Eliminators and some other Bitterblack enemies (Living Armor is one) also just get up immediately so that's sort of a drawback. I haven't tried it much with the baby gorecyclops; it is much simpler to just jump on their head and kiss them to death. If you hit an ogre when they are a little dizzy from their rampage (it is a small window) you can stun or pull them down. With eliminators they have a handful of places where you can stun/knock them down. The biggest window is when they are doing their charge and then it knocks them off their feet. Implicating a foe when they are stunned or staggered (even by an initial implicate) can often pull them down too. I don't even care if they get up quickly or not. If they are on their rear end they are not one-shotting my casters and even a second-long stun might be the difference between your pawn getting off a spell or not. I do not know if the AI can use Implicate optimally though.

My level 59 MK was doing very noticeable damage by just jumping onto its head and whack it from the back. But after about 2 bars down, he will grab and oneshot-chomp down on me, the pawns do not seem to do enough damage for him to dislodge me and I always get to about 3/4 of the escape bar when it happens. Tried it a few times and always ended the same way. Is there a safe spot to cling to, to prevent that grab?

I was excited to grab some goon pawns, but the ones on my friend list so far (have some other invites out) are 9 and 18 levels higher than me. That's too high, right? I'm not too concerned about the experience thing, I just don't want it to make things too easy.
