Just found this game at Toys R Us for $7.60 on clearance, so anyone that's getting the itch to play this might want to run on over there and look for it. Then we can all

If you kill all the ghost guys in the Shaded Woods on new game+, then a new one that dual-wields washing poles will show up and aggro you from wherever you are.

In fact, killing them later on is substantially easier, so if it did summon anything it would be common knowledge. There are ways to summon baddies to kill for some good loot, but I don't want to spoil how to do it.

The good news is that the washing poles drop if you kill the ghost guy. The bad news is that they are mimic washing poles and attack you once you equip them.

Geop posted:From how Scholar has been so far, I've absolutely no idea if this is a joke post or not Since you probably won't be tackling NG+ and beyond, I hope you take a look at the beginning and get your rear end dragged to Majula at least. The poo poo you'll see in Things Betwixt alone will give you a slight idea what to expect, and it will be worse. Edit: I've been playing some earlier episodes as background noise as I've done other stuff and noticed something fun you might have missed. It isn't really lore stuff but can be fun and is something most people miss entirely. Back when you met Armorer Dennis and found the bonfire in that area, there is a giant tree near there that is quite unique. It has a chance of giving you a certain consumable item unavailable anywhere else if you examine it and the chance is increased every time you get invaded either by npc or other player until you go and get the item, which is when the drop chance is again reset. It's really obscure and I don't know why they made that item so hard to get, especially since it's consumable. It's nothing game-breaking, it's not some late-game item, just something that can have some amusing consequences if used with good timing.

Still watching the video, but I wanted to point out you can make that jump from the bridge into the hole in the wall. Edit: For the statue by the scorpion, I'll just say they put it there for a very specific reason and leave it at that. DMW45 fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I love that slow, blank-stare silent nod Light does after seeing the newscaster turned into a lion and Mega Man says what just happened and that he's going to investigate. "Oh god I'm having a flashback and now this robot person is talking to me. I shouldn't have taken that acid back in '69"

treiz01 posted:Also wtf is this poo poo? Were all childrens cartoons this terrible??? Fortunately that is the worst episode of that show, and it's considerably worse than the rest of the series. I'd never describe the cartoon as a whole as good per se, but it had good moments. I've got a soft spot for it (and the entire series on DVD) since it introduced me to Mega Man. Edit: I find it strange there was only one petrified enemy in the original version of this area... but now there are a dozen of the things, after they removed the enemy what would've done it in the first place.

You don't get an unlimited stock anywhere, no, but there should be at least one that responds to trickery. However, it's easy to find enough to get everything important. I also think you can afford to miss one or two if you want to de-stone absolutely everything everywhere forever. scamtank fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I like that they added fire damage to the black knight weapons. I am less fond of their removing the neat unique moves in favor of Generic Halberd Moveset.treiz01 posted:Holy poo poo, I watched the intro to this and instantly remembered it from my childhood. I had nearly managed to suppress memories of that theme song.

You could just write yourself a note about it. It's not that confusing. The first time I played through DS2, I kept pretty extensive notes. The notebook looks like the scribblings of a madman.

Just realised I've never beaten Scholar. Beat the xbox version when it came out, and have the dlc for scholar but definitely don't remember phantoms being in the second part of the shaded woods. Commentary is really clicking now, loving the lp.

Scholar on X360, PS3 and the old PC version (Where scholar was just a free patch) is not the same as Scholar for Xbone, PS4 and PC (DX11) They had to release a chart before the Scholar version came out so people would know which version actually had what. It was quite simple though, the last gen versions didn't get enemy placement and additional phantom capacity while the current gen and new PC version did get those. As far as I remember all versions of the game got everything else.

I also first talked to Shaq through the wall. I'm going to be honest, I thought it was just a sometimes-there invisible NPC until this LP started, and suddenly you were talking to a cat with the same dialogue as the invisible lady who sells rings. I'm not smart enough to play this game.

So, the sound they wanted you to listen to at the start, whatever it might be in game, the soundclip has to be from doves. Because that is what they sound like.

Oh, there are still basilisks in this area. That's a bit less silly. Seemed odd that they'd add more petrified people while taking out the thing doing it. Also I was convinced the ring had to do something cool as well. It took me far too long to make the connection between wearing it and the invisible bear following me about.
