redreader posted:I'm about level 92 and just visited a worm-guy at the bottom of everything, and past a lake of rot. I assume he's an endgame kind of boss? I stepped through the door and summoned immediately, during which time he blasted me for almost half my health. I ran up and got about 3 hits in which took about 1/12th of his health off then he teleported away and clowned on me again from afar. I feel like maybe I'm too low a level for this bullshit. volcano manor and the city before lake of rot will probably be the easiest, followed by mohg. have you done the sewers? or the random catacombs in the snow places? you can definitely do the big galaxy worm at level 92 but what your build is will really be the biggest factor in how hard a given boss is. the early parts of haligtree do give you lots of souls and will help you level.

I went dual St Trina's swords up until around 75 and can they are "alright" Sleeps really good on anything giant, every large enemy just really wants to take a nap from a hit or two, against tough human sized enemies you need to back off when you see it go off so you don't break it while they are still in a animation, against smaller enemies you'd kill them before they go to sleep and in PvP the same applied when I invaded, almost never got the sleep off before the dual swords killed. The weapon art was pretty awful, it enchants the blades with more sleep powder but I think they programmed it similar to the sleep status because it goes away the first time you take damage. Would say just craft up a bunch of sleep bolts on the pulley crossbow like people are suggesting.

Inzombiac posted:So, I've got two Swords of St. Trina and one of the torches. I'm specifically going frost/sleep on my first character but I don't think I'm far enough into the game to say anything definitively. In pve even just with one St. Trina's you get free crits everywhere but it's mostly been something I pull out in attempt to massively cheese something (frost is very strong on its own and easier to rely on early/mid game ime). You can also get cookbooks to make sleep pots and arrows to help keep the buildup going. I haven't done a lot of pvp yet but I have seen a few invaders d/c once the sleep buildup gets too high. It seems like a lot of Moonveil, Rivers of Blood, and the frenzy spear builds don't have an answer for it yet/aren't looking to practice for it against random hosts.

I haven't finished too many bosses yet- the only Great Runes I've got are Godrick's and Rennala's- but I'm getting articles in my feed that talk about how hard the bosses are in this game. If I platinumed Sekiro and Bloodborne and finished all bosses in Dark Souls 3 except for the last one of the DLC, where could I expect this game to fall out in terms of the end bosses, harder, comparable, or easier than those other games?

marshmallow creep posted:As someone who tried to make quality, and specifically quality greataxe, work for most of the game since that's what the greataxe weapon scaling seems to want a lot of the time, it really, really is. AFAIK it takes like 60 in Str and Dex to match a Heavy or Keen weapon with one stat to 80 which makes Quality really stinky unless you're way overleveled. Even worse for Str weapons that are two handed because of the 1.5x Str modifier. Quality has the lowest base damage of any physical affinity and the letter scaling is a % of that base damage so you need A Lot of stats to get there. eg Str 80: Heavy Greataxe: 749 AR Dex 80: Keen Greataxe: 754 AR Str 60/Dex 60: Quality Greataxe: 751 AR So on a Wretch you're basically spending 30 levels to do the same damage as someone who just invested in one stat. It's only good if you're going into NG+ and you're hitting softcaps in multiple stats.

it’s not a matter of opinion. the weapon affinity “quality” requires a much higher investment in stats to deliver the same results of any other affinity.

I'd say its a different kind of difficulty. In BB and Sekiro you're given tools to fight the bosses 1v1 and the hardest bosses in those games test you in terms of that format. BB made dodging easier and Sekiro made parrying and countering easier. You win by being good at those things. In ER the last few bosses really do feel designed around the fact that you can summon something to help you in the fight without the boss health increasing and that you can stack buffs to counter the bosses strengths. So in general I'd say BB and Sekiro are harder because the only way to win is to be better than the bosses. In ER you can just cheese your way to victory. If you don't do that, it's pretty heavily stacked against you. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Mar 30, 2022 |

I think quality is good if you like switching between str scaling and dex scaling weapons without respeccing (I swap between double colossal and double katana featuring hand of malenia, which is minimum 42 str and 48 dex). I'm not sure it's an optimal build outside of extenuating circumstances like that.

If you two hand Radahn's swords they are like fist weapons you get another one in your offhand and get a new moveset while also being able to block with L1. Unless you mean you're NG+ing and trying to equip two of them in which case... why

Horah Loux was a pretty good fight but idk maybe don't open the second phase with an immediate tracking grab rush and then a second lethal attack chain immediately after that. Takes a while to burn through the first phase again just to have another chance to maybe try to learn how to evade that opening assault. At least give me a chance to chug before going Maximum Wrestlemania idk This final boss rush is some poo poo I tell you what.

Coolness Averted posted:Yeah the worst part is that they muddle their interpretations, regurgitated theories from youtube AND the actual text, so it's hard to sift through and find if someone is actually talking about something you might missed, or just talking out of their rear end. It's not like here is any different. The game is so averse to providing exposition that any given explanation of "what the hell is going on" is going to involve making multiple more-or-less reasonable assumptions, each of which has about a 60% chance of actually being correct. By the time you've made ten assumptions or so, you're almost certainly completely off-track somewhere.

Likely going all dex does an insignificantly higher amount of damage (since its only ~12 levels) but then I miss out on my 1400+ headshots from the greatbow on haligtree dudes. And again great bows are excellent in pvp
