Lol just clowned on Mohg, Lord of Blood and killed him before he could even get to his 2nd phase. On that note, is there any way to actually avoid getting a ring around you that causes him to drain blood from you?

Not that I'm aware of, which makes me feel like doing a hitless all remembrances run may be genuinely impossible outside of the glitch that lets you get in there without activating his AI so you just get a free kill (although Mogh is 100% optional so doing people would probably just do hitless any% and skip him entirely).

Professor Beetus posted:Man is the capitol supposed to be this much easier than Caelid? I'm in my 70s and have +15 weapons and poo poo in Caelid still takes way too many hits and deals way too much damage. Pure STR build with 40 STR and roughly 35 each END and VIG. It's worth noting that if you follow what Gideon tells you the capitol is likely your third area after Limgrave and Liurnia.

Out of curiosity, did anyone else start as a warrior for the sick blue armor set? That was my second character. I already want to start a 3rd because now sword and shield sounds cool. But so do incantations. And so does arcane...

Martian Manfucker posted:Invasions are rough right now. I never ran into this many gank squads in all of my Dark Souls PVP. Just a host and his 2 pals camped out at a grace while they wait for a bluecop. And they're all using either Erdtree Shield spam, rotten breath, Vyke's spear, or some form of bleed buildup. Thankfully they're all at 15 vigor and making people insane with fire lasers from my eyes is still fun or I would have given up awhile ago. Yeah, I don't wanna whine but pvp is pretty bad. The best thing to do is use the tongue and the hunter ring and let people come to you. Still get some of the insta-kill/proc stuff but less gimmicky.

As a result they're persecuted and hunted, which is why he's so loving edgy. However, the Omen mutation doesn't seem to be innately bad, as some items related to the Ancestral Spirit worshipers and the Crucible imply that Omens were once worshipped and that they have some sort connection to primordial life/the Crucible. Since the Greater Will doesn't seem to be entirely benevolent and the Omens might be a way to transcend it without attaching yourself to another Star being... it might actually be a good ending, it's just Dung Eater is an off-putting radical. The Dung Eater is not an Omen, but he dresses up like one because he's super hosed up and society treats Omens like they're super hosed up so he feels like he has the soul of an Omen without the body of one.

MasterBuilder posted:A lot of people are still salty about dark souls 1 invasions, me being one of them. I just want to be human long enough to get solaire so I have company when I get perforated and smashed by o&s. Ah, for the days of O&S. Easy peasy compared to a lot of poo poo in this game. Though ultimately preparation is the ultimate strategy to either.

A thing that's a bit unintuitive about Caelid is the southern part is a lot easier than the northern part, but the line that separates them isn't straight. It's two different map parts so it's fairly easy to tell by looking at where the dividing line is when you only have one of them, but if you're just wandering around it's easy to accidentally head over to the harder area just by following the roads.

No. He is wearing armor stylized to evoke the aesthetic of an Omen but he is not an Omen himself. He is doing so purely because he associates them with defilement/debasement and revelling in misery/The Curse/debasement is his entire shtick. He does not care one iota for the Crucible adjacency of Omens, nor does his ending have anything to do with that aspect.

I tried some pvp in ng+, and it seemed like it would be pretty fun except everyone was incredibly laggy, to the point where attacks would just pass harmlessly through them because of (i assume) dodge iframes before the animation even starts on my screen Is there something I can do to reduce ping disparity with other players, or is this just part and parcel of the souls multiplayer experience

That's the north-south line not being horizontal though. The entry from Limgrave is the south section. Bestial Sanctum is north section. The separation between the two is pretty clear imho, it's the town of Sellia, and it requires deliberate effort to go past it. It's quicker to unlock the north section with the free teleporter to the Bestial Sanctum

I'm still terrible at this game, but I'm having a lot of fun. It seems to scratch an itch in a way I haven't experienced since Fallout: New Vegas, where I can just pick a direction and find crazy stuff. Yesterday, I went looking for a golden seed, but took a wrong turn and stumbled across rats with crazy glowing eyes. I decided to keep going, maybe the crazy glowing rats have grazy glowing loot? Turns out they did - The Flame of Frenzy. Now, when I farm the troll near the first church, he goes down in only 3-4 shots. Good stuff.

Having now finished Elden Ring I have to ask: How the gently caress are you intended to fight the shrieking arm centipede rear end in a top hat guys that teleport all over the place even though they don't need to because they can cover 100 yards in about a tenth of a second

I was running around in the Capitol courtyard area and came across some kind of little guy that transformed into a Margit, a bird warrior thing and another ulcerated tree worm. Lots going on out there. I must have just screamed and ran through there many hours ago, because I even missed a grace.

Do not let up until they are dead. Do not let them start their bullshit at all. That's the only strat that worked for me really.

They're just the worst (though birds aren't that far off). Their teleport also does verticality, I tried shooting one down from a cav upper area and it just aggroed and teleported behind me on my floor...

I also had Placidusax AI die on me, and saw others mention it. Also a message on the floor after killing it, was "Behold, out of stamina", which suggests it's a pretty common issue with the poor fella. Way to ruin an otherwise super scenic fight.
