Your Computer posted: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. Yea that and the fact that the painting itself just doesn't appear to be there anymore is leading me to believe that it's been hidden away somewhere and ol' Big Al just learned of her through the dreams.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Is the Storm-dudes main gimmick really to gently caress up my camera and then fire-breath-oneshot me from outside visual range? You really shouldn't lock on in the dragon phase of that fight. Well, except when he takes off to do his lightning spear attack, then lock onto him so you can dodge it when he throws. If you turn around and run at the start of the animation for either of the fire breath attacks, you can avoid them. (I never had any trouble with the first phase so long as I stood about 10-20 feet in front of the dragon's head with an unlocked camera, the tells are super obvious and nothing is really hard to dodge or avoid. I think you can just sprint away from him to get out of everything at this distance if you're being super cautious.)

Do they ever describe how Aldrich "devours" people or is it some magical thing? I just figured he like, physically ate their flesh and magically made himself look like whoever he ate.

Yeah everything has big tells and wind ups except maybe the one rear back into lunge stab, but you want to be in close so you can rush in and hit the neck while it's low. Like the grounded fire breath, if you run in you can get a bunch of hits in and do a huge chunk of damage. You also don't even have to lock on when he flies, just manually track the camera. He always does the same movements, so it's easy. You can stay stationary and then roll at the right time, then rush to where he lands (again always in the same direction/distance).

it seemed to me like locking on was ideal because he doesn't do the fire attack much if you stay close to his head. Staying close to it's head is the big thing. That fight sucked. Probably my least favorite boss.

I decided to try out a gimmick a friend of mine on Steam mentioned. I went to the Cathedral of the Deep on a new character and never unlocked the front door to the Cleansing Chapel Bonfire. I went all the rear end-end way around to the very end of the level and unlocked the left door shortcut instead, the one next to the covenant located in the level. When that happened I asked a buddy if they wanted to do stupid poo poo, so I started summoning him and then started summoning dark spirits of any flavor while having a Giant's Seed activated, along with the dried finger. What this basically meant was that I set up a really lovely obstacle course that people could NOT puzzle out for the most part. They kept wailing at the front door to the Cleansing Chapel and then ultimately black stoned out. There were a few smart ones. These ones I incorporated into my league of Tour Guides, eventually. Some of them came and just attacked me and had to be put down after an exchange of furious emotes. My buddy then decided to go get the full Armor of the Sun set and got two torches and became a tour guide, pointing people and helpfully guiding them through Takeshi's Challenge. The most interesting group of four phantoms actually went berserk and started attacking each other. The lone survivor greeted me at the bonfire with a collapse emote and then became the second tour guide, until unfortunately the giant decided that he was very tasty. I'd like to think it was a great social study.

Garin posted:I decided to try out a gimmick a friend of mine on Steam mentioned. Being the tour guide here was an amazing psychological experience. Occasionally you'd have the people who'd just break down and go apeshit and start attacking any phantom they'd see. Sometimes people would just run at me and start stabbing until I ran off into the level or killed them. Other people would see the friendly chap with the dual torches pointing and beckoning and follow me for a jog. The amount of people who developed stockholm syndrome for me due to our shared harrowing experience of running The Gauntlet meant that basically none of them wanted to attack me at the end; they'd either start an honor duel with Garin(the host) or surrender entirely to the gimmick and join me as assistant tour guides. I knew every time I'd made a true friend when they'd follow me out of the final room and past the drop down to the beginning of the maze.

Just realized my first mistake was employing the ancestral technique of going for a dragons legs. Hes got like 90% damage reduction there.

Some dude summoned me as a sunbro in the postpontiff pvp area then he summoned a dark spirit. So I stood there and watched the darksunbro kill him for being bad and dumb. He didn't even try and banish me even though I just stood there and occaisionaly ran to the other side of the plaza. Me and the darksunbro emoted over his corpse until I returned to my world. GOTY

The Sun Princess Ring's health regen is pretty great, if y'all haven't tried it. Gives you enough passive regen that you can take a weak hit on the chin without worrying about losing an estus.

Stacking Sun Princess with a blessed shield(and possibly a throwaway blessed weapon in an extra slot if you want to go all-in) gives you insane regeneration that outpaces poison's DoT.

Turns out there's not much you can do to a person turtling up hard with a Havel's shield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n09xmhsvIuU The only way to beat this that I can think of is attacks that go through shields, but those aren't exactly common.

Getting Storm King to phase 2 several times despite his best efforts to obscure my vision through his incredibly large model and clipping attacks through the dragons head with no effect, im in no mood to dodge frame-perfect for 10 minutes straight. Since he and Ludex 2.0 are the only things i havent killed yet, im pretty much done with the game now. Wish i had started with UGS or at least broadsword, but going with a dex build and spear kinda sucked all remaining will to do a second playthrough right out of me.

I don't like the mask part of this helm at all, it looks super stupid... which is such a shame because I tried it for the first time now and you get this huge flowing veil which is just barely visible and it looks spoopy as heck. Want that veil for fashion souls, don't want to cage up my pretty face  0/10

Yolomon Wayne posted:What weapon / skillset did you use? +10 heavy spiked mace. I'm sure that the weapon wasn't the important part, the spiked mace is pretty mediocre. More importantly, I think I had 40 vigor by that point and a giant stack of estus. He can't do poo poo if you're right behind him iirc so just roll forwards against literally every attack and then punish with either damage or estus depending on what you need.
