ulvir posted:at what point in the game should I start looking for something other than the meteorite staff? I have just barely beat Margit now, for reference I'm still using it and going into the endgame. There are some competitive options after the second legacy dungeon once upgraded, especially if you're not using gravity spells. But personally I feel like meteorite staff seems good enough and you can use the upgrade materials on other things

Big Int Sword is my friend  e: ulvir posted:at what point in the game should I start looking for something other than the meteorite staff? I have just barely beat Margit now, for reference Its gimmick is that it can't be upgraded, so it's mostly about how many smithstones you can get your hands on and are willing to invest. From what I've read, the strong 50+ int staffs start to beat it out around +6 to +7, but the basic low level staffs seem to not overtake it until ~+12-+16ish.

(mid-late yellow story boss spoiler) So they put Godfrey in the game to make you feel like you're good and there's hope and then the next boss is there to remind you you're terrible and there's no hope. My Bloodhound Greatsword is starting to fail me here I just cannot get an attack in.

I saw you can get banished knight halberd off a quest line - is there a way to get the shield? Looks way better than the Kite shield and I’m not really in the mood to farm them all until it drops

Strom Cuzewon posted:I love how these weird Japanese games based on poorly understood books of mythology are somehow also an amazing representation of regional British accents. I got such a kick out of Eileen the Crow and her slightly congested South Yorkshire voice. I’m pretty sure they’re using the same British based VA studio as Final Fantasy FXIV cause I immediately recognized Melina and Margit’s voices from characters they played in FFXIV.

J posted:For those of you doing a mix of melee and spellcasting, there is a nifty talisman from the boss located in (area name and location) the black knife catacombs, which is in the very northeast bit of Liurnia. What it does: Restores FP on crits. So any riposte, posture break crit, backstab, etc it restores FP. Felt like about maybe 10 to 15ish FP restored on crits? I'm at work so can't get an exact number. This is the catacomb with the skeletons kicking my rear end isn’t it

Ice Fist posted:As is tradition (for me) in EldenSoulsBournekiro games I will be posting my "# of attempts to solo clear bosses". There's alot of "bosses" in this game so I'm only posting GREAT ENEMY kills unless something really sticks out as difficult or interesting. Using spoiler tags just in case. In case I reach Nameless King/Ebrietus territory I'm just going to use >20, because whose counting past 20? I've been avoiding the thread to prevent being spoilered on most things, although that hasn't stopped me from spoiling myself when I don't want to deal with the usual Fromsoft obtuseness re: story points. So it's been a while and I've fought a bunch more bosses. 3. Godrick the Grafted (1) - First try, caveat being that I did this fight as a summon a few times ahead of my own attempt helping a friend and I also used the NPC summon because I thought using the summon might be dependent on continuing their story. As what is probably intended to be the next chronological boss following Margit this is a nice change of pace. Strong boss with exploitable openings, unlike Margit who is uber aggressive and has almost no openings and the ones he does have are real short Patches item notwithstanding. 4. Lacerated Tree Spirit x2 (5) - This fucker. gently caress. It didn't take alot of tries, but this is an easy one to gently caress up. The explosion he does got me more times than anything else. Also one of the worst bosses in Fromsoft history related to camera movement. 5. Deathbird (4) - Most enemies are basically trivialized if you can bring Torrent to the fight. I'm positively certain that this is the case here, but this fight was still not easy. Plenty of openings but maneuvering around the black fire makes things tricky and he's real good at knocking you off Torrent if you gently caress up 6. Glintstone Dragon Smarag (1) - Like I mentioned above, Torrent makes fights like this super easy. 7. Red Wolf of Radagon (1) - Cool boss. Not terribly difficult though. What's fun is I co-oped this afterwards a few times and a bunch of people got one shot by the wolf right out of the gate. Think that basically catches me up to where I am. Still in the middle of the academy when I had to stop for work.

FishMcCool posted:I'm using an xbox elite (series 2) in bluetooth mode here, it worked as usual. It's a bit freakish if Steam recognises your controller but the game doesn't use it. Rare cases where I had issues before were all resolved by switching off Steam input and falling back to Xinput (I think?). That sorted out a weird occasional buggy input I had in Redout which made it unplayable (randomly triggering the "look behind" camera, like when approaching a corner...). But I presume that's the first thing you tried? Controller is recognized by steam and when I press the xbox button in game it opens up the xbox menu. I've got the Series 1 elite controller. Maybe that's the issue? I don't use any third party controller programs other than the Razer one for my keypad. I might just have to use mouse and keyboard for the game.

I watched videos that show every spell and incantation and poo poo is loving insane. The poo poo makes glintstone pebble look like... well, a pebble. I think that early sorcery is brutal but later on it is looking like these spells are really good. The pebble just happens to be very powerful. Carian slicer is very strong too. Spells are extremely fun and look great.

Did some exploring during lunch, heading north of the academy. Ended up discovering the Ravine and further into it some mine/vertical dungeon. I made it to the boss right as lunch ended so it’ll have to wait but I threw my sign to get a sneak peek at it.  it’s like a lava salamander with a sword? Hell yeah.

Radahn as pure melee wasn't that bad. Didn't even use the horse. As long as you keep refreshing your backup you can sort of follow old giant boss tradition of staying directly under him and rolling through most of his stuff.

goferchan posted:Good lord, whoever said Hoarfrost Stomp was a good weapon art wasn't loving around -- second hit does crazy damage with huge AOE. Ash is near Caria Manor from one of the invisible footprint guys if anyones wondering Welcome to viking glory, friend. For added fuckery I put Gravitas on my great epee, and an invader was an unfortunate experiment on my part to confirm that I can trap rolly bastards with Gravitas and swap to the axe to Hoarfrost Stomp them as a black hole drags them under my icy heel.  Also, today I learned that hitting birds and bats with gravity well or gravitas is an instant crumple.

Anyone find good bows yet? I want something to use for dex/int but I don't know if you even can use any int ashes on a bow. I just love being a swiss army knife character. Keep a shield, a spear, a katana, a bow, and a staff ready to swap around as the need arises
