loving lol. also that's one of the Top 10 Video Game Death Screams


i remember playing a poo poo game called Chrome back in the day which billed itself as an open-world fps-rpg and had an inventory system like Deus Ex. i stopped like two hours into it because the enemy AI had instant reaction times and as soon as even a sliver of you showed around a corner they'd start dumping bullets into you. that kind of crap is like a hallmark of lovely eastern european first person shooters and i don't understand how they can make a whole game without realizing that's not fun at all

watch what you say about eastern european developers, janky ambitious eastern bloc fps/rpg hybrids is my favourite genre

also al i don't remember you quitting the forums and literally no one cares, not even knuc, so let's all just get alnog

nope, don't even know where she is. i know i missed the entirety of castle cainhurst so i think im gonna look up where that is and do that next, then i might track her down

after i beat one reborn i went into the lecture hall then found the nightmare of mensis, which if im not mistaken is where the final boss is. so close to the end!

well, the final boss might be the one in mensis. kind of depends on you and how willing you are to eat umbilical cords :3:

to do amygdala, you can get to the nightmare frontier (not nightmare of mensis) from the lecture building on the ground floor

and yeah, you should prolly go do cainhurst. it's got some great stuff in it

i hosed up the umbilical stuff because i didnt know about it until post-rom :rip:

i'll do some of the other side stuff before tackling the final boss, kind of lame that i can't do it after though :/

there's 4 total you can get in a playthrough, 2 of which can be missed. you might want to double-check

if you haven't done any of the cainhurst sidequest there's a chance you can still get all three umbilical cords. depends on how much you explored forbidden woods (and im assuming you didnt really)

actually the weapon is available for purchase after beating the first hunter. you can use it by getting out of the moon presence fight either by dying or bold hunter masking out.

Not related but go check out cainhurst since it's cool, and before that try talking to any of the windows/doors with incense burning outside them in Yharnam/Hemwick for a potential new interaction if you haven't done so in a while.
