gently caress the two Erdtree Burial Watchdogs fight, 15k souls down the drain. What a horseshit gank boss, I've given up on it for now. Even the jellyfish is wiped before you get two hits in.

No Mods No Masters posted:My +10 summon now usually ends boss fights with ~95% HP somehow. I'm not sure if it's because he's blocking everything or if the scaling is just bananas. In any case thank u roderika I put some levels into the Marionette soldiers and they just loving gatling gun stuff down with those crossbows at range. I think it would still be strong if it only summoned one of them lol.

What's up with drop rates in this game? I'm after killing every land octopus I see a dozen times over and I've killed this pumpkin head at least a hundred times and I haven't gotten any of their cool drops. I rarely ever get armor or weapons. In fact I'm still wearing literally the only armor I've gotten to drop besides commoner garb. It feels so barren.

I'm knee deep into really tackling a third major region of the game but I watch youtube videos of people in Limgrave a still see new poo poo. "Oh poo poo, I should go there at night, and there's a customizable flask tear like right in the open!??!"

Macaluso posted:So what's the deal with the graces on the map that have the like trail that looks like they're pointing to something. Are they pointing toward another grace? They are pointing towards the nearest "big thing" or the next grace on the path to that thing. "big thing" is mostly the larger dungeons, it is a bit unclear. But if you follow them you generally find something important.

I think they expected people to co-op them a lot but lmao who is going to put their sign down in a catacomb. I'd never be afraid to bail on a catacomb and just come back with some more damage and summon upgrades

RBA Starblade posted:I've gotten like four dex weapons and zero staves now, god drat it Great epee, more like poo poo epee. Hate weapons that just have mostly pokes and a couple awkward swing options. drat toothpicks. I use Nightrider flail as my backup for my axe or when I wanna mix things up, but I've never gotten the hang of using the swing stuff for lots of chain hits and my axe does a better job staggering enemies when it hirts, they tend to shrug off the nightrider swings. It's also kind of wimp looking, fails don't look cool until they get absurdly large with the spiky smashy bit. Probably one of the dumbest weapons ever invented next to nunchucks. Obviously any weapon can hurt the user but flails and nunchucks seem like they're more effective hurting the user than anyone else. I got my dex to 30 thinking I might eventually find something that needed it like the big stat weapons I have for everything else. Might be a mistake though, I'm playing 90% of the time just two-handing my one-handed axe and frost-stomping. I should probably pump more points into mana and hp, not sure what all this dex is even doing for me at this point. The axe has C scaling on dex and d on strength. Lame but haven't seen anything higher than C scaling yet. I should find the respec NPC because I'm wanting to try this idea of a faith/punch monk since I have that sweet holy hand weapon I can't use. The double weapon lifestyle also seems like it might be fun, it's weird, I don't actually block two-handing much, one-handed axe obviously lovely blocker anyway, except maybe rounding corners in case of ambush. Still, seems a little scary to have that second weapon and I'm not sure when you'd actually use it, or if it would ever do more damage anyway? Generally the amount of damage I do in a combo is limited by how long the boss let's me wail on them. In cases where I'm stamina-blocked, not sure having two weapons swinging would matter. In cases where I'm rolling around to dodge after just a few good whacks, is just the advantage double-stamina for double-swinging? Do you ever get simultaneously swings though?

It's just a breadcrumb trail to let you know how to get back on the main path.

I was under the impression the pumpkin head helmet only drops from one specific pumpkin head. Most armor drops in this game are like that for good or for ill

Thread moves too fast for this question: Clawmark Seal question. Does it make ALL incantations scale off STR, and on top of that, it empowers the incantations from the Beast Sanctum? Can I become a barbarian shaman, pumping STR and casting spells?

Will they go away if you encounter this "something important" because one is pointing toward the south of the Morne castle that I finished, unless it's trying to guide me back to the father since I never finished that up. SHISHKABOB posted:Ohhhhh man I just lost ten hours somehow. I loaded my save and it was just... rolled back. Fuckin A dude. This blows major chunks. Yep. PS5 I assume? It's just... not autosaving on PS5 for some reason. And a patch will be out to fix it at... some point. They didn't give a date as far as I know. I've had to resort to every once in a while saving and quitting to the main menu just in case something happens like it did during the power outage I had the other night.

Willfrey posted:I'm using fextralife's interactive map to find entrances to the side dungeons. no regrets. yes same. thorough combing of the landscape and then to the map for everything I missed, which is usually not insignificant. Didn't make a ton of progress in a couple hours tonight. Explored the western costal region. Realized there was an area beyond the village of the albinaurics when I found the map that i'll have to check out. Found and unlocked one of the belfries to a Hidden Area with that dude I posted in the armor that hits like a truck. also can't be backstabbed, can GRAB YOUR HORSE, and seems to have very very good edge-pathing so can't be cheesed. I gave up. tried to find the cave with the smithing stone shop unlock item but it's a two imp key door? lame. I'll come back maybe I'm good enough to fight the glintstone dragon now? no, no I am not.

you can see most of the side dungeons on the map if you look closely. idk about most but many. it's good to explore every square inch of the overworld anyway imo. this game plays with your sightlines expertly, often you need to be up close to see treasures and loot.

Has anyone hacked up infinite upgrade supplies to test the differences between weapons? I am especially wondering how Ashes combined with regular Smithing Stones that go to +25 weapons compare to the weapons upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones and only go to +10. Especially since you can't change the weapon arts or use buff spells/items on them (as far as I am aware.)

FishMcCool posted:STR friends, the anchor and brick hammer are awesome, but don't sleep on the Grafted Blade. Despite its lower scaling, the thing's base damage makes it an absolute monster, and it upgrades like a charm with a single somber stone per level (also meaning it doesn't compete for upgrades with your other favourite huge weapon). 40 STR required to one-hand it, but that means you can start enjoying it two-handed from STR 27: This has been my sword to roll with so far and been loving it as well.

Which boss do I have to kill in order to unlock the respec feature? Also, a friend of mine asked me this question. If she used Wemod, which is basically a cheat trainer to enable instant, kill and used it on a boss once while offline in game mode and offline in steam, how likely is she to get the soft banned during the weekly checkups on the servers? She told me she didn't use it to add a hajillion runes or alter any stats. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 1, 2022 |
