Hey guys, how do you beat The Rotten? I could not beat him and I'm getting annoyed. Do you know any tips or trick on how to beat this boss. What is his weakness?

Stay close but sort of in front of him, as he'll usually do the easier to avoid vertical chop more. Dodge w/e attack he does then attack a couple of times, rinse and repeat. Aside from maneuvering him away from the firepits so you don't accidentally step in them, and watching for when he does the dark AOE, it's just about recognizing his combos and dodging accordingly. Of course, like pretty much every boss he can be cheesed with spells/miracles (like Lightning Spear).

Also, Rotten seems to always priortize melee attackers, so if you summon Lucatiel, Lone Hunter Schmidt or a melee player, you can let them tank the fight while you plink away with spells/arrows.

argondamn posted:Yes those were literally my words. I'm going to have to disagree with you then. I do NOT think it is good. How many of these people are you running into? I'm on xbox and mostly host/invade in Sol and have seen like 2 at the highest SM (although that video explains the sudden vogue for helix halberds I guess). Anyway my uncles works at From and said they're not going to fix anything unless people post in this thread how angry they are.

Vanderdeath posted:I was excited at getting my second Mytha's Bent Blade but with the ~*new meta*~, it feels almost worthless using them. Yeah, double Mythas with double claws is what I've been doing. Mytha's been pretty nasty earlier on, but doing tiny damage to huge lifebars with each little hit, and going down in one mistake, is making it less fun to play. Guess I'll just get my stats high enough to wear some havel pieces.

Thwack! posted:I got a few questions about fire weapons. What kind of stats should I focus on when using a couple of Fire Caestus, and if I already have the Flame Weapon spell, would it be pointless to infuse fire to a weapon? Thanks! Flame weapon (and other elemental buff spells) increases the weapon's fire damage by 50 and then increases the total fire damage by 30%, so using it on a fire infused weapon can be really powerful. But like others said, infusing a caestus is a bad idea because the main advantage of the caestus is its great scaling. If you want to focus on fire damage, get a weapon that has innate fire damage, like black knight weapons, infuse it with fire, and use flame weapon.

I hope they fix Velstadt in a future patch, because the whole hitbox thing is really highlighted during the fight. The bell's box is so gigantic and if it touches you at any point - even during wind up or wind down - you take full damage.

Here's the thing: make a new character if you don't like top tier SM pvp. It keeps the lower tiers full of people, so the full experience of the game (with PVP) isn't something that you can only find at certain ranges. I really think that's what From intended with Soul Memory. Personally I think high defenses are dumb, and I think the PVP ranges in the arenas are dumb, but From has fixed most of the things I've thought were dumb so far.

I really think that's what From intended with Soul Memory. Because I want to abandon the character I've spent hours and hours farming absurdly rare equipment. And if Fromsoft did intent that, that's really stupid, as it means if you want to do PVP you need to continue doing the same boring PVE over and over and over. I've never said I dislike high level PVP, it is the best imo. The issue is that you can gain way too much of a statistical advantage, something you could not do in the previous games. quote:Personally I think high defenses are dumb, and I think the PVP ranges in the arenas are dumb, but From has fixed most of the things I've thought were dumb so far. Except high defense is literally the biggest issue in PVP, and it has not been addresses at all, despite Fromsoft patching Cale's Armor defense for some reason.

Nahxela posted:You should watch this video if you haven't already (or at least the fight at ~13:30): I have taken up this gimmick. Bellburner Kea has claimed the worthless lives of 20+ Bell Keepers so far. Usually the hosts are appreciative, but sometimes I have to kill them too--and one of them backstabbed me with a greataxe only to immediately die to the Bell Keeper I was saving him from. Serves him right! Tallgeese: is there any way to add a harmless fire aura effect? I need to look the part of "literal burning hatred" without unbalancing things.

Most likely yes, you can remove the damage portion of the fire auras since damage reports are sent from you to the target.

Well, to my knowledge there are six available fire auras that will show up online: 1) Immolation 2) Smelter Demon's Aura 3) An aura of purple fire 4) An aura of golden fire 5) An aura of black fire 6) A plume of rainbow fire (I am completely serious)

You can't change your phantom status and have it show to other people online as far as I have been able to determine. Well OK, one guy claimed he could, but did not spill the beans. Here's the "rainbow" flame, though I was mis-recalling and it is more blue-pink-orange-purple shifting (sorry, I was tired and thought I saw a shift to green):

aegof posted:Pyromancy doesn't really need any stat investment besides Attunement, since it scales mostly with the level of the flame. You can totally do that caster/monk thing, it's just Flame Weapon got overnerfed recently. Personally, I like Faith as a side to fisticuffs, because Emit Force has an acceptable likeness to the kamehameha and Great Heal is nice for invasions. I've took up on your Mircale Monk idea, and I'm really enjoying it. However, I had to reduce my STR/DEX to 30 from 40 just so I have the Attunement, and a Southern Ritual Band to equip Sacred Oath and a couple other miracles to make up the losses. I'll probably respec once again when I'm able get my hands on a SRB+2, but for now it's pretty awesome.

You can get the SRB+2 very quickly if you're willing to rush to the Bastille or Gutter to pick up a branch in order to unpetrify Rosabeth. After that it's just a simple task of running through the woods, killing Najka, and then ascetic-ing her to kill her on NG+.

Finished NG+! From Central Drangleic castle and until the end of the game (except Nashandra) I was able to summon only two other players, a shade and a phantom, thanks to the soul memory system. quote:Half of the scaling or half the flat increase? Or both??? On my BKGS with about 120 fire damage it did 40 damage more with it on so I'm going to say both. It's really only worth using if you have nothing else now.

Stop farming rare equipment for hours and hours then? I mean sure, it would be nice if there was a way to lock in your level so you were able to stick to a character, but the whole reason soul memory was implemented was to prevent things such as1 level 1 Pyromancers invading newbies and completely owning them with no chance. There is no way to resolve those two goals in my opinion without doing something that really breaks the world (Some sort of isolated PvP pen with a soul memory cap?). Besides, if everyone is basically playing at the same soul memory level, how is someone doing well despite "playing poorly"? Are you not all at a point where you too have access to the same equipment and stats?

After a while it also prevents you from playing with anyone too though. I didn't grind or anything, just did some pvp then some pve. 6 million and up shouldn't be too high for NG+ (I finished at 7.7 mil). e: Both Throne Watcher and Defender armors are cool, and go great with faraam, king's, ruin, and steel sets. I keep mixing it up! I'm ready for NG+ DLC now. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jun 9, 2014 |
