So apparently while praying at the Sunlight Altar you are completely invincible from any PVP attacks.

ACTION AMERICAN posted:I've run into a bit of a philosophical conundrum regarding Bluecop invasions. Say I crush an orb, and I get summoned to the belltowers. Am I justified in hunting down the bellbros first, or does my mark take precedence? In essence, is it more important to deliver retribution to crimes past, or to stop crimes currently in progress? However, if Drangleic allows "stand your ground" laws, then the bellkeepers are perfectly justified in defending their property... Don't know if it helps but any phantom, gray or red or purple or whatever, that doesn't drop everything to try to kill you is a narc. So you could go for the host, if you want to cooperate with fuckin narcs.

In the Undead Crypt where you can light the fire that sets off all the other big hanging fires to reveal the Beksinski tribute, can you go down there and explore or is it just a pretty scene for the player to find?

Dual caestus run is lots of fun and not that difficult. The worst part is the wonky as poo poo hitboxes, goddamn From.

The red phantoms with great lightning spear at the start of the gutter next to the exploding mummies that can evade hexes are a real dick move, From. e: Oh good they can just randomly ignore ALL magic. Soul spear will clip right through them sometimes. And they do 90% of my hp a hit. It's amazing how NG+ went from nothing special to a real asskicker right at Brightstone. e: Oh my god it's actually sunlight spear From you bastards. Wait this is the firekeeper's set. That's strange. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jun 1, 2014 |

So those phantoms dropped a dingy set, a soul of a great hero, and another thing I can't recall or find. Can someone help me out with what it was? Or am I mistaken?

Only being able to lock onto his head is really obnoxious. I wish they'd come to realize that actually fighting things without lock on is kind of terrible.

Tracula posted:RRA is like they took Sif and went out of their way to take anything that made that fight interesting and/or memorable and strip it away. Because anime sword wolf is better than rotten puke dog. Sif is pathetic if you have a decent stability shield or stay close, RRA is not (well he can be cheesed a little by staying close, but he's a bit better about leaping away than sif was).

Free aiming in this series has always been really finicky and it's pretty clearly not setup for that to be the main method of play. If you aren't using something with a broad swing, getting a hit in is the entirety of the challenge. Otherwise, he telegraphs everything he does and is crazy boring. It's especially noticeable on such a twitchy boss like RRA whose attack points constantly bobble around as he's swinging at air. There's really no reason not to have each of his legs be a lock on point.

The secret of RRA is that he's the second easiest boss in the entire franchise but also has some moderately annoying trash mobs to take your attention from it. The only reason he's hard is because he does about 3 times more damage than he deserves to for something whose attack animations consist entirely of 'snuggle you kinda roughly'.

Royal rat authority isn't a rat. Its a dog. Its a terrier which is a rat killing dog. Do you understand now?

IGgy IGsen posted:Yeah I dunno, I have the opposite experience with these two bosses. Both are easy, but Sif is way better at keeping a distance and is just a way cooler design. It's not a rat at all? It's a wolf/dog that's rotting. The rats are pretty silly; it'd be better if it started out none and added them as the fight goes on, forcing you to kill them quickly before they swarm, or something. Schwack posted:I knew there would be a requisite 'git gud' comment! No it's not. Free aiming is not hard. If you have something with a very narrow hitbox, such as a thrusting sword, it's going to be more difficult yes, and that is the point. That's why you carry around multiple weapons.

Those two phantoms may well have been the hardest fight in the game for me. They both have way too much HP, you fight them in water, and the priest literally never runs out of Sunlight Spears. I pretty much won by accident when Faraam guy did a jumping R2 at me when the priest was right behind me. He flattened his own team mate when I rolled. I didn't even know friendly fire like that was possible.

Either way I clip right through the floor and die at least twice every time I try to take on the giants. The rest of the area's pretty easy, but since DS1 I've been sliding off cliff faces and it's a pain. e: Will Numbness affect lock-on distance or does it just make it harder to see?

The only thing I didn't really like about the chariot boss is that, on rare occasions, his wheel spike can still nick you even if you're in an alcove. It's only happened to me twice (though it happened to be back to back attempts), but in NG+ I think the spike straight up one-shots you. If you can, try rolling away even if you think you're safe.
