PneumonicBook posted:if you spin the camera into Gurranq's model you can see that he has the rune of destined death on his left hand. Additionally after giving him all the death root he talks about his punishment, likely referring to how a part of the rune was stolen from him before. I agree it's weird that he stays there though Might be cut content/DLC hook. Hard to say what’s what with this game.

i think it's pretty easy to say. this is a game that left out the ending of like six npc quests from the release version. it's an oversight

WoodrowSkillson posted:as a resident LOTR nerd, remember that he started as a great king of men. If you want to play out his rise and then fall, start with something appropriate, and respec later or just build into it. Go with a STR or DEX warrior character, and then shift to a paladin type mid game. From what I have read, I had thought he was a Numenorean who was powerful in sorcery. Hrmm. If he is a fighter, then go melee first, likely a Hero, and farm the soldiers at the Gatehouse for better armor, and buying a Bastard Sword asap. If caster, then start as Prophet and choose either str or dex I guess.

You can also fight Mogh despite beating an earlier/different version, so I think it's just Margott doesn't have a reason to make an appearance and keep up the fake identity, but death is still fucky ducky for demigods.

It’s very hard to find what to do next if you don’t look stuff up but you got pretty far along

Playing through the early game on a new character and suddenly a ton of the imagery that went over my head is clicking, particularly the multiplayer stakes, the effigies, basically all the crucifixion symbolism based on Marika's punishment(?) of being stuck up on that whatever-it-was in the endgame, I assume it was a big rune or something

I started the game with 2h greatswords, respecced around 60 or so to an int/moonveil build. Just cleared Rennalla on NG+ so it's time to spec faith and use my bitchin holy wolverine lightsaber claws! Except this feels like it sucks, and like I'm doing no damage. What should I be carting around for a talisman, what incantations should I be using, what's my move here? Wait until I get the second regular lightsaber and switch to swords off of claws? e: also I've been doing things in a weird order and quests are getting set off not the way I anticipated, and sometimes I'm hitting weird roadblocks. Met Blaidd in the ruins, did his thing. Met Blaidd at the festival, did the thing. Went to meet Ranni, she told me to piss off. Not sure what I need to do to get her to be cool with me

I love the elden lore added to the classic fake-eyes freaks!THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Yes but the actual damage on the weapon art is ridiculous. I can’t believe how much it’s doing at like 36 dex and 20 arc thats rad, I beat the game with the buigged version so it's damage was poo poo, but the weapon art was choice for bleedable bosses because it applied blood faster than any other button presses in the same timeframe. Bloody slash is what I used on Gargoyles, pre-nerf it did a decent chunk of damage in exchange for small HP, but didnt apply much or any bleed. Since they fixed Rivers of Blood seems like it's just the superior mainhand katana period, since it's WA does damage + insane bleed.

Iirc its the latter but dont recall for sure i think the godskins are their own thing, pre-dating marika, under the gloam-eyed queen who was the regent before marika. i can't remember where i read it but i'm fairly certain the godskins's black flame is somehow aligned with destined death, maybe its previous incarnation or something like that. which would make sense since it does extra damage against demigods. e: from the godskin apostle set: 'The apostles, once said to serve Destined Death, are wielders of the god-slaying black flame. But after their defeat by Maliketh, the Black Blade, the source of their power was sealed away.' they served destined death, suggesting some kind of pre-marika order where destined death wasn't sealed away?

Iirc its the latter but dont recall for sure my first thought was some sort of plague, with the flowers on all the doors, pockets full of posies ring around kinda poo poo. then because flowers + europe makes me think of Midsommar type cults. AFAIK it's only the grannies who get to spend their purgatory dancing and going wild, maybe they burnt up all the men and young in their madness. IIRC there's a finger reader or someone somewhere who talks about you going to the festival or someshit, but i might've confused it with radahn's festival... or there are two places talking about each. im not sure i tried connecting the godskin there specifically to them, i thought it was more of a funny thing: windmill area, wobbly boss that has a "windmill" spin attack. i thin kone connection could just be seems like they might have had some extra skin around the join whenever the grannies caught dancing fever or whatever.

If caster, then start as Prophet and choose either str or dex I guess. We don't know exactly. he could be Numenorean, but its implied that he likely is not because we would know about a numenorean king that was corrupted. The only potential one is Ar-Pharazon, but he decidedly eats poo poo during the akallabeth. So more likely it is a king from a group similar to Rohan, Ruhn, or Harad. Numenoreans that were corrupted is a specific group called the Black Numenoreans, and the mouth of Sauron is likely a member of that group.
