Cowcaster posted:while you are two handing a weapon your strength stat is calculated as 1.5x what it actually is and all that entails. as you suspect, weapons that do not scale well with strength only see minimal benefit from two handing Worth noting that there is some amount of base damage scaling too, though it's minimal. I'm using a keen guardian swordspear which is one of the few weapons with absolutely no strength scaling, and it's damage still goes up (only around 3% lol) when two-handing. I think two handing also increases stagger damage your weapon deals? And of course makes it so your weapon doesn't bounce off shields / hard skin.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:If you trust this calculator spreadsheet (make a copy to be able to edit the numbers), at the minimum 18 int the Meteorite Staff loses to the Demi-Human Queen Staff (which has the highest base power and the lowest int scaling) at just +6 out of 25. So if I'm doing this right, it's telling me that at 80 INT and +10 upgrade , a Carian Regal Scepter is 373 Sorcery scaling, while a Lusat is 413. That's only about 10% more sorcery scaling, but Lusat adds 50% more FP cost. So that doesn't seem worth it unless there's something magical about going over 400 with Sorcery scaling (which I suspect there is not). And the Lusat effect is just the higher sorcery scaling, right? There's no extra hidden power boost other than the number being 413?

The "invisibility" spells staff of loss buffs are not the actual hidden body etc spells, they are the dark-blue selia spells like Night Comet and Ambush Shard. These are invisible to enemies in the sense that enemy AI will never react or try to dodge them.

Cowcaster posted:everything you have said is accurate Thanks. Completely unrelated question about Pidia (and/or I suppose, Ranni's quest): At the end of Ranni's quest, after I went back to her tower and sadly had to put down Blaidd, I also happily found that Seluvis was dead, and then figured I'd go check in on Pidia since I was there. As I approached his area I heard him crying out, and then saw this:  What happened? Who are those dudes and where did they come from, and assuming they killed him -- why? Are they Seluvis puppets that got free when Seluvis died? I haven't gone back to check that creepy underground puppet storage area, but I don't remember them being up in the Pidia room before, so not sure what's happening there. Or why.

Not really a magic guy myself but from what little I understand, that 40 scaling difference probably matters if you're fully committing to glass cannon stuff and adding other talismans/gear/buffs that stack sorcery damage multiplicatively. I don't know how much it matters but that seems to be the logic with stuff like that ime

my favorite weird half-implemented idea is still definitely the perfumer's talisman, which works on exactly two items in the game: the spark aromatic, and the spark crossbow bolts that pages rarely drop, which are basically worse explosive bolts unless you give them a mild buff with the talisman

Too busy slanging rocks.

You do get two full bars worth of casting it that way though. I've been one or two-shotting anything coming my way with it (loving perspective with the fire giant lol)

Did they patch those loving jar knights? I cannot cheese them and you better not get touched by their poo poo. Plus it's super dull to kill both giants ahead and still have a three rear end in a top hat fight ahead of you.

I think that Seluvis was himself a doll being controlled by Pidia, and Ranni was getting rid of the little shithead before she headed off on her mission. There was likely a real Seluvis at one time, and he was probably also a piece of poo poo (going by what Sellen says about him), but the one we interacted with might well have been a puppet himself.

Very nice touch that they let you hear Pidia's demise happening as you're platforming down to his room.

Plus it actually happens right after you give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, which is what makes me think it's Ranni's parting shot at him. When you give her the blade is when she sets off on her journey (by inhabiting the miniature Ranni doll), so I'm guessing she turns Seluvis/Pidia's dolls against him on her way out. It owns how absolutely nobody likes that creep.

Ranni is objectively the strongest demigod because 1. You can't kill her and 2. If you aggro her 3 times she will instantly kill you regardless of vigor.

Spoilery question about Ranni/Seluvis questlines that I don't feel sure of from reading the wiki: If I poison Ranni, what happens to Seluvis afterward? I know you can get absolution and finish Ranni's line but I don't see anything about if Blaidd/Iji retaliate against Seluvis or anything like that. I am just looking for a straight answer in order to know what I want to do in my second playthrough, so don't spare any details. I did the full Ranni line in first playthrough.

Then if you talk to 3 times she straight up kills you (see comment above) and disappears. Go to Seluvis tower and you find him dead but you can still buy puppets. Seeking absolution and Ranni comes back but I never actually checked if Seluvis comes back or not.

The current any% speed run of Elden Ring is at 18 minutes and change, and involves a weird "zip" glitch which can catapult your character hundreds of meters forward, resolution changes to make the glitch easier, specific ledge falls and hard quits to trick the game into thinking you're someplace else, a Godskin Duo boss door glitch that makes them totally inactive, collection of mostly just two specific weapons and upgrade materials, flying Torrent, a quick level up to maybe level 20 or so, and launch day Hoarfrost Stomp to kill the only two mandatory bosses in the run (the last two.)
