Infinite Karma posted:What the everloving gently caress is the Radahn fight? I have been breezing through everything this game can throw at me, but what do you even do against a guy who can cross the maximum distance of your ranged attacks during the windup time and one-shot you (with 1000 hp)? And who moves so fast you can't even catch him to melee on horseback? And you can't summon your normal helpers, just these dipshit festival spirits who don't do anything? And he chains infinite melee attacks together that move as fast or faster than you can roll away (so even iframes won't help)? I had a terrible time with him last night and then gave it another shot after work tonight and beat him on my first attempt. Only thing I did differently was put a bleed infusion/ash on my sword-- it takes out a huge chunk of his health, I was a couple hits away from killing him before he even hit phase 2

Vermain posted:she did a whole lotta back hopping for me, and how aggressive you can play depends on what summon you get and how much poise you have to be able to hyperarmour through getting mobbed you can chase down her back hopping pretty well most of the time, like I mentioned when she does the homing shots hopping backwards you can sprint under them. the only attack that makes you wait really is the moon one, but each time she started doing that I switched to bow to get in a couple shots before going back to melee as she+it landed

I'm getting owned by Rennala. She's really hard as a caster. I might just be underleveled but I'm 47 and really struggling with her. Even rock sling isn't dealing her basically any damage and she's one shotting me because i can't stunlock her.

I don't know why it never dawned on me before, but I realized that the summon pool thingy makes your sign show up at the stake like, everywhere. So you can just sit and chill using your golden effigy and helping people all over the map, or you can use your finger in front of a boss door if you want to stick with what you know from previous games. After a couple of hours spent helping people around SL 65 I think I got the most hits for Black Knife Catacombs, and that map just loving breaks people's brains. Credit where credit is due, the path towards the lever to unlock the door (and the optional boss fight) is kind of devious.

And he chains infinite melee attacks together that move as fast or faster than you can roll away (so even iframes won't help)? I dunno, I think it's possible you are exaggerating just a little bit? Yes he's mobile but he's not that hard to catch, if anything I spent more time avoiding him. Blaidd tanked him the whole fight when I won, the jar has a lot of defense/hp, and the cleric is a good meatshield. He does have some long attack strings but he also has quite a few that are highly telegraphed and predictable with decent windows of vulnerability. It's true that some of his attack strings are nasty and really punish rolling, and if he leans into those it can be an almost impossible fight. Maybe take a break and come back with a few more levels. I failed on him a bunch of times with 1000 hits at level 60. I died three times when he did his ultimate at like 1-2% hits. I came back with 1300 hits and beat him the first try. I messed him up with horse R2s the first phase and then resummoned everyone for the second phase and did jump R2s with a zwei with bloodflame blade. Taking significantly less than half your hits on a strike instead of more than half is both practically and psychologically helpful. If you do well on the first phase you might use a Rune Arc, I don't think he has a single attack that one-shots you at 1000 hits with a Rune Arc active. He's a mobile boss, he's clearly designed to be fought on your horse but I had zero problems getting into melee range. If you are getting one shot during your long ranged attacks use something else. I mainly did jump R2s which cover ground, have a very high hit box, allow you to reorient your attack on the fly, and tend to be very easy to aim at the horse under him which often just kind of sits still while he rages above it. The helpers make his attacks difficult to time. I got summoned and the guy didn't use any of the spirits and it was the easiest fight I had. I have helped a lot on that fight and most people I see die do so because they go in when he's starting up one of his truly awful attack strings and there are bots around making him hit with weird angles and timing. Also skip summoning Patches, I hope everyone knows that...

Finally beat fully grown falling star beast. I spent a bit of time on the outside of the mountain while rot and poison ticked away. I was lucky enough that I could reach the wind sheer and not die on the way down. Had to put about 50 arrows in the son of a bitch to finish him off because he has a 360 degree danger zone at melee range.

Weapon chat Mixing the God Serpent sword with the heal-on-crit talisman can go a loooooong way to keeping you alive. Shame I don't like the moveset all that much but it's still worth it when there's a lot of weak enemies.

I wish you could turn OFF a summoning stake as easy as you can turn it on. Certain zones you get summoned the same boss (Ragequit Starscouge, Chariot gently caress Your Face 2.0, Where Did I Get Teleported to and What The gently caress Is This Crystal Lizard Tunnels) 95% of the time and what's worse is it's almost certain whoever summoned you is going to eat it.

I'm fully on board with the crafting system in this game. As long as you're even casually picking up whatever you happen to be near as you travel around, you'll have plenty of mats to just casually refill pots and livers and whatever else you need between encounters or locations, for free. I can have as many fire/lightning/whatever pots or darts or greases as I want. Granted I don't use items much to begin with, but that's because in the soulses I never spent a soul on them, so I only had what I found, and they were so rare I'd ignore them. But now I'm experimenting with the items cuz they're there, and some of them are really good. I like the stones you can break to cast 1/3/many little magic missiles. I've used those to push enemies off ledges to their deaths. It's a really good system imo

Okay, I made a couple new dedicated co-op characters with gimmicks and got them to various points in the game and it owns. My favorite dual-wields twinblades, but I also have a lowly thief in stormveil who has a sick bow and a massive stock of special arrows, and a Voldemort in Raya Lucaria with some gnarly sorcery spam. This game is great for making theme/gimmick characters e: I want to make a Faith caster but I haven't found any good incantations deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Mar 3, 2022 |

Don't sleep on throwing knives and kukri. Throwing knives are very fast and deal decent damage, and kukri deal kind of a lot of damage plus increase bleed buildup. I just wish you didn't have to murder a bunch of innocent turtles and bald eagles to get some of the slightly rarer ingredients.

There's only 3-4 problem spots, but not being able to see at all would drive me mad! It looks like you've been pretty comprehensive with your troubleshooting, here's to hoping they sort it out sooner than later E: I will also admit I'm playing the ~horse name~ torrented version with the framerate unlocker and the FOV boosted 15%, but that made no difference on/off. I'm buying it tomorrow, hoping I can get away with transferring my save just to avoid having to redo those bits

Ladder griefing is my all time favorite thing to do in Souls/Nioh games. Killing guys with fall damage = The Best. In sadder news, now that I know almost everything Margit does can be parried that's all I'll allow myself to do now  I've managed to get him in a good loop a few times but I'm still pretty rough at the parry timing in general with regular shields.

I think I've messed up my build, can anyone provide feedback? All the videos I see show people taking multiple hits, but I seem to die in one hit from almost anything now. I've killed most bosses in Liurna, building up to Rennala. My biggest confusion is that kills seem to give such TINY amounts of souls I'm not clear how I'm supposed to "just keep leveling" at this point...  EDIT: more useful screenshot for my question:

Used a respects kinda go dex/faith and sort of regretting it because I keep using the bloodhound fang. Gonna wait until level 65ish and then decide again either like full dex or heavy faith and use the winged scythe.

I just realized that since I used the gold horse knight's halberd the whole game, I never once interacted with weapon arts or greases or anything like that because you can't modify the unique weapons beyond upgrading it. A whole chunk of game design I wasn't allowed to use on my main weapon feels bad.

Are you pretty much just using the moonveil katana? If so, yeah, that is a lot of wasted points in strength that you would probably be better served split between vitality and endurance so you can up your HP and get more heavy armor. Don't worry so much about rune drops, if you really need to farm there are a lot of enemies that give great drops in far-east Caelid. Beating the boss you're on will unlock respeccing which I would recommend if you want to stick with dex/int

Weapon/spell scaling doesn't really get too crazy until you're well into the 40s, and you need health up to 40 for the "soft cap" as it's been referred. Once you hit the general minimums for weapons focus on the core survival stats of health and endurance. You're also using a weapon with E scaling for STR and its your highest stat. That weapon is a dex/int weapon by a lot, you don't need str higher then 12 is that's your main weapon. I think at 9 arcane you take a penalty to item discovery. Faith doesn't matter but at 10 you get access to some convenient spells to cure effects and some of the fortifications can make boss fights way easier.
