first boss death of the lvl 10 run to rom last night -____- realy need to figure out how to dodge the arcane spell 100%. sprinting seems like the best way but u still get clipped every so often

wooden shield halves meteor damage..maybe try running towards him while holding it so some of the mmiss you and whatever does get you gets shielded

my favorite bit of sound in this game is definitely the winter lantern singing. it's so eerie and unsettling

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

Getting stuck in this game. I think I've dropped like over 100000 souls in Yahargul from getting caught up on level geometry while running by guys. the only other things I can do in the game are cainhurst and Chikage hunter. I'm like level 54. I think I'm just gonna scrub out.

theres some hidden shortcuts around some of the stuff in yahargul, so you could try and look for another way.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

stats specifically for i-frames and carry weight infuriate me to no end especially after bloodborne

having a stat for i frames would be bad to me, but having iframes determined by invisible breakpoints on a derived stat is like, dire

DSII added way too many stats, which ended up being pointless because of the inflated leveling. So it was just "Google the ADP and Vigor requirements to make the game play like DSI" and you had to waste a good chunk of early levels on that stuff

ppl arent summoning cos bsb is the easiest boss in the game by a mile. u dont even need the dodge button to beat him without getting hit since u can just walk under the arm he attacks with. like the adjudicator in demon souls

here i backed this statement up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4rBX69MY1U

0 presses of the dodge button altho i did get hit once. WHAT EVER . anyway this is the easy way to kill BSB

My first character I died like 50 times to BSB- I wouldn't to attacks though I'd just get poisoned like 15 times in phase 3 because I didn't use fire paper and I was playing really passive.

huh, i always do unlocked rolls past him. i had no idea you can just slowly walk through his attacks, lol.

for some reason watchdog took forever on this new skill character. i got him in 3 tries on my last dude O_o

like it doesnt make him hard if youre good at the game but a lot of people at that point are still used to being dark souls shield-users and the difference is first very noticeable there

fwiw, i found having a stagger attack made him pretty easy (i took him down in like 3 or 4 attempts w/ my kirkhammer hunter), but had a lot more trouble w/ the cane

also the hunter's bone loving sucks, and i sort of regret rushing to 15 arcane at the expense of vit and damage

That's incredible

Ebrietas's theme is my favorite track in the game, awe is an important and underused facet of cosmic horror, and i'm glad it goes for that instead of murky synths and horror strings. Gerhman's is also good
