i like how the pebbles are actually eyes, but i wish there was some sort of shameful turd pile you could throw like the dung

every1 says being able to fling turds over the capra demons wall is a glitch but i beliueve with all of my heart that they made it like that intentionally

i would never use poison knives or turds personally. but i think they include these things intentionally , and try to make you look/feel insanely goofy for doing them, u know? like mr kojima with the chicken hat.

it's my third character, used nothing but saw cleaver on my og and it's definitely going to be my go to for blasting through the game.

My second character used almost nothing but the hunter's axe, I really could do like 30 playthroughs of this game just to get a full run with all the weapons.

i actually did do that and im all set for at least another 30. hell yea!

I always liked that you could backfire with the turds and get yourself poisoned

i liked how you could immunize yourself to toxic by doing this because the dung toxic did less damage than blowdart toxic

devs even confirmed in an interview that they intended that to be an option

I've established a good precedent of losing all of my souls from the entire preceding level after dying to something dumb just outside the boss room. Made a lot of progress last night but I'm something like 40k-50k souls lost now to dumb poo poo and I'm pretty much out of blood vials and have been since killing Bloodstarved Beast. Game's so good except for having to farm vials.

If you're ever fail like me and run out of vials just go to Forbidden Woods lantern and clear out the guys on the other side of the bridge. You're guaranteed to get like 5 or 6 vials and bullets and enough souls to grab a bunch more. It takes a minute or two to do and I can get back to 20/20+ in less than ten minutes.

at that point in the game the best place to get vials is the great bridge lantern imo. 8 on the bridge (2 from the mummy and 6 from the wolves) + 4 under it from the 2 mummies.

though since I started buying vials with leftover blood echoes I've never run out and I have 200 in reserve on my second character. definitely a good idea.

This is what I've been doing. Still a pain in the butt, though. I thought I had so many stored up and then the game's just like 'naw.'

okay by far the worst enemy in the game is the big greasy rolling dude in chalice dungeons. he is loving horseshit. just insanely fast you get no time at all to react and he doesnt flinch to anything, on cursed dungeons he oneshots you.

those are insanely easy to counter and they die to one visceral. the greasy dude will literally roll into you and do an instant AOE that oneshots you and you cant dodge or counter it lol im just praying it behaves whenever i fight it

1. randomly taking double damage from hits is dumb
2. NPC hunters you summon frequently forget there's a heal button and die 20 seconds into boss fights and now youre alone against a double HP boss

You take double damage if you get hit when you're comin out of a dodge, so
If you mistime you get punished

it also happens when you attack, and youre always dodging and attacking, and big bosses have wonky rear end hitboxes so you'll frame perfect dodge one attack to get crit by another or a dumb hitbox. it's a lovely mechanic that really stands out when you have half HP

Yeah I saw that on this attempt, need to back off a little for the side dash to move far enough out of the way. Or I could unlock then and use the roll
