I'm talking about the difference between 8 absorption and -2 absorption :v: Also I only care about PvE.

Instead of dying in 2 full combos from most enemies you die in 1 and a half.

So whats the deal with Farron Watchdogs, is it just completely broken? I put on the emblem and waited for like 20 minutes and nothing happened. Do I actually need to be in the swamp or wherever it is they hang out to get that to work?

I bet for sure thats going to be a big part of the DLC. A bunch of item descriptions talk about the old queen and her kids and how she had some kind of "heavenly power" but none of them show up anywhere at all.

Theres also that giant empty bird cage at the top of Grand Archives thats implied to be where one of them was kept like that has to be foreshadowing of some kind.

How do you make the jump to get to the last smouldering lake bonfire? I just can't do it. It's that hallway with the fire slugs

You don't. That hole is too large to jump over and it's meant to make you wonder how to reach it when you see it from the other side. Reaching that bonfire requires you to go through pretty much the whole zone, and it gives you a bonfire that pretty much just exists to be slightly closer to the boss.

Thanks, will try again next time I play. I'm assuming that opens up the end of the game so I'll explore around a little bit more. From what I've picked up even while trying to avoid spoilers, I think there are a couple of optional areas I haven't gotten to yet.

Probably more than one. It was the people teleporting all over the place and getting parried in the middle of a roll that made me say gently caress it and go to ng+

Speaking of ng+ goddamn they don't really bump it up very much. Played through vordt in about 10 minutes. It feels more like mowing the lawn than playing dark souls. When does it actually catch up with an end game character?

I took the description to meaning he saw Priscilla in Gwyndolin's mind (RIP 10/10 best Souls waifu) and copied her stuff, not that she was dead, though since the painting is nowhere to be seen there's no way of really knowing.

That's an interesting interpretation, but considering everything to do with Aldrich is as horrible as possible, I'm inclined to believe he ate her.

I think it would be a bit weird and out of nowhere for Priscilla to be eaten. There are a bunch of references to her with stuff like the Corvid enemies and other abominations who tell each other stories of her and her haven for beings with no place to go.

Staff of a heretic storyteller who shares tales of the Painted World to forlorn souls.

The storytellers, too, are wretched beings with no place to go.

So I read that if you tell Patches where Greirat is and you don't buy the Catarina set off of him Greirat actually does survive, which seems to imply Patches uses the armor to save the little idiot.

Yep. I've done the second part of Greirat's quest both ways: If Patches still has the Catarina armor set and you tell him where Greirat went, he wears it and saves his buddy. If Siegward has arrived in Irithyll but hasn't yet progressed into the Dungeon, then he's the one who saves Greirat. The latter is trickier to pull off because you need to keep track of both where you last saw Siegward and which bonfires you've lit. Either way, once you beat your next boss, Greirat comes back and tells you about the strange onion knight who saved him.

I'm told that there is supposedly a way for Greirat to survive being sent to loot Lothric Castle, but I wasn't able to make it happen. Patches asked where Greirat went, and I told him, but Greirat still ended up dead in the Archives anyways. Nobody seems to know what exactly you can do to get Greirat back alive, either, not even the people who swear that it happened for them. Maybe if Patches still has the onion knight set, he can save him? That'd be easy enough to do in NG+, since you'd already have the original onion knight set from NG in your inventory if you either finished Siegward's storyline or killed someone for it, so you'd never have to buy it from Patches in any subsequent NG+ cycle.

By Gwyn i meant Gwyndolin, i thought it was clear since it is clearly stated roughly 10 billion times.
Also it was really more about the weapon part.

Is the Storm-dudes main gimmick really to gently caress up my camera and then fire-breath-oneshot me from outside visual range?
