Picked up the game this afternoon and I'm loving it. The nonlinearity is great - I didn't like the look of the Queen of Smiles, so I took a different path and it worked out just fine. On said other path, I was expecting the False Jester to put up more of a fight after it killed me in ~3 seconds the first time. Second time around, it blitzed out of its arena to try to stab me and just fell to its death. Intentional or not, it was pretty funny.

Inquisitor's a chump, but his bird is pretty nasty; it seems impossible to dodge through his almost instakill lightning, and it's windup is too fast to run from.

Which lightning kills you? Don some heavier armor, his tells are really clear and you can slow roll through him. It's safe to attack him any time you are behind him; try to roll through his long wind-ups and remember to block everything else with your shield.

This game is loving massive. I thought I found a shortcut that looped one side of the world map to the other, but nope, there's even more new areas and new areas and new areas... Oh and I have to remember to give that guy his bag of earth, sheesh. I wish this game had a map.

How the gently caress do you approach the spindlebeasts (Unicorn like beasts)? These fuckers skewer me on their horn and takes 98% of my health bar away and the attack can't be blocked by a shield.

The Moon Monster posted:How did you even get that spell before defeating the Dried King? I've been using it on my NG+ run and it's still killing bosses in a matter of seconds. It seemed to show up after advancing the Splendor creed either all the way or most of the way, since it literally appeared in the magic shop from one moment to the next after I ranked it up for the last couple times.

I am liking how cheap it is to teleport around in this game. Once you make a guide anywhere, it basically only costs you 100 gold to teleport to any sanctuary, since you can just use a horn to get to the guide and then use him to go wherever you want.

I wish there were a SOTN style map in this game. Which is kind of weird since I actively do not want one in the Souls games. Something about it being 2d makes me really want it, I guess.

Do any of the lower level spells actually give significant buffs? The early spells tend to be buffs. From any mage at any creed devotion level you can get a buff that adds arcane damage, and I imagine that's also true for prayers. More convenient than the consumable buffs imo. 8-Bit Scholar posted:Really? Fuckin' nice, got that one right on my first go. Kudos to the game if this is the case.

I wonder if the Bloodless Prince has a damage bug or something, 'cause for his size, his damage output is pretty low. He's the only boss I've cleared on my first try besides the Jester. This game is goddamn huge. I like the optional boss, wonder if it's a reference to something. 8-Bit Scholar fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Mar 21, 2016 |

So it's not really mages that are imbalanced, it's just elemental damage period. I just fought that boss with the blunderbuss everyone talks about having issues with, and I just slapped some lightning damage on my warhammer, and he died in maybe 10 seconds. I think he shot his gun 3 times period. It was the same story for the third lamb as well.

Similarly, high elemental damage mitigates a lot of danger in that fight, although I dig that fire elemental has a damage over time effect. EDIT: Huh, both of the Ziggurat bosses are pretty easy. Or maybe I'm just getting overpowered now? 8-Bit Scholar fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Mar 21, 2016 |

My Castlevania build (whip/cleric/pistol) went from pretty awesome to wet noodle again once i hit the final boss and ng+. I was so excited that I had found a way to make the fast weapons have better damage output and now it's back to slapping bosses for 0.1% of their health bar.

Man I wish gold didn't despawn so quickly. This is like the third boss in a row in which I've been too busy exulting to pick up its poo poo. On which note, eat poo poo Husk. I've been too lazy to upgrade shields or armor but just shock buffing my warhammer and going to town has been a surprisingly effective strategy thus far.

Finished this tonight, and enjoyed the poo poo out of it. My only complaints are that the last few bosses were pretty easy, and the last few areas were a little simple compared to some of the mid-game content. I'd definitely like to play through it again. I think my character was a little OP by the end of it, with a max upgraded Level 5 Greataxe. Buffing it with holy damage took off huge chunks of boss health with every hit. I also said gently caress it and didn't bother with a shield from about the mid-point on. Megasabin posted:So it's not really mages that are imbalanced, it's just elemental damage period.

I eventually figured out the best way to deal with his horizontal shot was to jump right in his face and hit him with a couple light attacks in mid-air while he shot, because the blast goes right under you. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Mar 21, 2016 |

Parrying and shields don't seem to be of much use in this game, mainly because the 2D plane allows for much greater enemy variety and vertical combat than you'd see in the Souls titles - parrying is great and relatively simple when most of your baddie roster just crawls or stomps along the ground and tries to take piece out of you, but S&S has flying critters and sniper critters and angry blobs and lightning ghosts and suits of armor so big they need they own zip code, many of whom like to fight you in groups. It sucks, but a build that's just rolling around with a big-rear end chunk of metal to hit things with is far and away the best one in this game. I guess it really does stick close to the Souls formula, DEX builds always get shafted. Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Mar 21, 2016 |

I just transmuted my warhammer to the monstrous mace and it does almost twice as much damage as anything else I own or could transmute my greatsword to, and it's not that much slower. Is there any point to speccing for greatswords at all because greathammers and axes seem so much better in every way.

Damage types, mostly - the game favors Strike damage but it's nice to have something sharp on hand when that doesn't work. Also, greatswords have better reach, faster slashes, and less stamina usage than greathammers, so I prefer them for most bosses. I just got the Northern Cross greatsword and it's a straight-up copy of the Carnage Scissors from Dishwater: Vampire Smile, it's great. Pair that with the Assassin Set and it's the Dishwasher all over again.

I think he shot his gun 3 times period. It was the same story for the third lamb as well. He died so quickly because you were using a greathammer with a buff. Buffs are powerful (so long as the boss isn't resistant to its damage type) and greathammers are by far the strongest class of weapon, due to the heavier weapons just being strong in general, and very few bosses resisting blunt (if not also being resistant to slash). Some magic is pretty OP. Dragonfire just melts everything in seconds. Stick Figure Mafia posted:Is the free warhorn a glitch or is it supposed to be free? There are a number of items that cost 0G if you level up in Creeds. No idea if it's a glitch or not. Probably is since one of the items is the Diamond Cluster which is probably supposed to be rare/expensive.

The top-tier shields absolutely make a lot of bosses jokes as you don't lost much stamina per blocked hit and you nullify most of the damage, letting you do the ole "block boss attacks, get in one or two hits, repeat until dead" thing. Parrying can be done by any 2handed weapon or by any 1handed weapon if you do not have something equipped in the offhand slot. It's a situational but incredibly useful versus certain tougher enemy types, like the grey knights early on. Genocyber fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Mar 21, 2016 |
