These endgame bosses are just too loving hard. I always thought "FROM games hard" was overstated but jesus christ everything godskin duo onwards is just hosed up, and I'm level 130. Obviously I can summon and I guess I'll have to.

The puzzles to unlock the Rises are absolute bullshit, but so much so that I'm actually impressed at how trolly they are. Miyazaki probably had a good chuckle greenlighting each one.

Oxyclean posted:No; I assumed because the entry point was in Limgrave / they told me to go to Mistwood, it wouldn't be tied to Caelid. Right, so Blaidd is tied up with what's going on in Caelid first before he moves on to the next area, so go finish the Caelid major boss. You'll know what's up when you arrive at the correct area. Do be warned that it's one of the harder segments in the game though.

Hardest optional boss down with the power of grinding and getting an insanely lucky break. Turns out if you give your tear a Mistveil the AI hates it and will stick to them like glue. Just need to dupe the optional souls I never want to see again and this run is over.No Wave posted:These endgame bosses are just too loving hard. Originally it was "hard but fair" and they have generally shifted away from the "but fair" side of that over the years. Looking forward to 2026's release of I Want To Be The Souls.

Man bleed build damage is absurd compared to pure strength, but I think I prefer the huge jump attack damage on a massive 2h, I find it easier to fit in to a boss attack window then trying to spam a few hits for a bleed

I am warming up towards Caria Greatsword as a spell/art. Most importantly it can hit through walls and hits large groups quite efficiently. It can also be comboed for massive damage. Downsides are the FP cost and the initial charge up is quite risky.

Okay so I'm seeing some conflicting information w/r/t a certain weapon: Do you get the Ruin Greatsword before or after Radahn? I saw at least one poster talk about getting it well prior. Is it just that The Festival™ has to be inactive at the moment, and that can be before doing Raya Lucaria or after beating Radahn? Ofc I also need to figure out how to beat a loving Crucible Knight and Misbegotten at the same time, but hopefully I can find buddies for that. edit: Thundercracker posted:The puzzles to unlock the Rises are absolute bullshit, but so much so that I'm actually impressed at how trolly they are.

I don't think I'll ever get all the items there. Godrick is my road block now. Even with the NPC summon and my imps. I'm going to leave and level up my imps and raise my INT more.

I'm a shield + one-handed hammer guy. In previous games regular weapons carried me through. Didn't expect to find any cool unique armaments in this game, but I was wrong. Ringed Finger This thing is so goofy, especially the special attack. The regular moveset feels great. It's just as fast as the warpick I was using, and I'm pretty sure it has a longer reach. I find myself hitting stuff more easily while mounted so I no longer need to carry around a large weapon.

Idiot Doom Spiral posted:ISLC.exe to clean up your memory and tweak performance a tiny bit, plus closing everything in the background. I do those two things only and get a smooth (55-60 overworld, 60 capped in all dungeons) experience on a 7600k, 16GB relatively slow RAM and a GTX 970. Most people run faster/newer stuff. Thanks, will try this stuff out. You'd think a 3070Ti and an i7-10700k would be able to run a 60 fps with zero hitching but apparently not.

^That's a finger not a hammer! Also I don't know if anyone cares but I found a tremendously effective spot for farming runes as an Astro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imoV9j-NsfY Higher quality video is still Processing, but one of the first Gracepoints you come across in Caelid ("Shack of the Rotting") is right on a cliff overlooking 2 big birds that give 1700 each and they literally cannot touch you. Some of the higher tier spells are just insanely expensive. I guess if I were good I could just go kill bosses, but

Hosts. Please. I'm begging you, level vigor. Get some health, stop dying in one hit to mid level bosses. If you were good enough to do a low health run you wouldn't need my help in the first place.

I wonder if the way the HP growth curve works in this is passively discouraging new players from leveling Vigor. You don't get much HP per point early on and it can feel like a waste. But it ramps up hard as you go, with each point worth more than the last all the way up to 40, and then ramping down until you get to 60. So it means your early investments in Vigor feel small and a player new to Souls games might wonder if it's actually worth it, but it also means the difference between 20 and 30 Vigor is really big, and the difference between 30 and 40 is even bigger.

I finally sucked it up and beat my second major boss since I think all of my NPC quests are at stalling points until I beat redmane or do the capital and I've done every dungeon I could find. Level 115 was pretty clearly overkill for hogwarts but the boss fight was pretty for the ten seconds of it I saw.m.hache posted:I'm looking for a 2H great weapon to replace this 2H battle hammer. I'm Str/Fth. Any cool uniques I should keep my eye open for? Something that takes the unique crafting mats There's a couple of pretty sick STR/Faith colossal swords. One in particular you get from doing the first boss fight in Redmane castle, before the main boss. But I've found a few others, most of which use special upgrade materials. There's a few neat regular greatswords as well that do strength and faith.

It's also a pretty big investment at the start when players are trying to fill minimum requirements for weapons and get enough stamina/FP to actually use them effectively. I found 20 vigor to be plenty for Liurnia even if the scaling doesn't pay off as much though. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Mar 6, 2022 |

I'm playing as a caster. In my view, vigor is a waste because anything I'm targeting should be dead before it gets to me. This hasn't always worked out though! But I'm sure it will as I get better spells and raise my INT.

Can you backstab / critical hit with a shield as a melee weapon? I tried using spiked greatshield on my right hand since it sorta doubles as a strike weapon but couldnt get any critical hit follow ups to trigger. That said what if you switch to a dagger during crits
