drat that's awesome, gonna check some of this out.

I can't find the video, but lol because I think this is addressing an exploit where you could set yourself on fire and then use that shield to spam "reflected" fireballs at enemies proccing from your own self-burn damage

Also glad they're making Unseen Form look right. It's surprisingly useful, when I got to Ordina Liturgical Town with the hosed up invisible enemies I took that as a sign to try out invisibility myself, and they basically stopped noticing me. It was pretty lame that it didn't make you look all sneaky though.

edit: also rip my quest progress, I decided to get Kenneth Haight murdered by demi-humans as an experiment, to see if anything special happens when NPCs die without you "sinning" (nothing special happened)

Wonder what quest stuff they added for Gostoc. I'm guessing most people just kill him when they find out he's the one stealing their runes.

I didn't on my first run and he has a funny cutscene but that's all he did so I wasn't sure wtf the point of him was besides to gently caress with you.

Nepheli has just been chilling in Roundtable Hold saying the same thing forever so curious where that goes. I wonder which weapons weren't scaling properly? I killed Gostoc already so whoops

Apparently arcane scaling was bugged so any weapons that used that were hosed.

Finally beat Malenia after about 150 tries, no exaggerating. Easily the hardest boss in the series yet. No summons and no Moonveil, unlike some wiki readers. Feels good man.

It seems like bleed weapons were already super powerful and since a lot of them scale with arcane then lol

I think it was just the unique ones which is sweet because they were already decent but are probably amazing now.

The reason I know it was about 150 attempts is because that's how many pieces of boiled crab I ate. I would eat one at the beginning of every attempt and it became like a death counter lol

I have phase one down pretty good but when phase two starts I can't help myself and I just walk backwards away from her with my shield up for two minutes until I finally decide to engage and she just shreds me lmao

That's nice. I beat her in 1 attempt with powerful sorceries I got through following a guide to becoming OP early on Fextralife.
