a kitten posted:Endgame poo poo but god drat Hah, I just found this out by accident earlier today. I thought I'd use the spell on him for fun just because its use is so limited in PvE and I figured he would be one of the few vulnerable enemies (since it's basically a fancied up PvP NPC) and did not realize it was going to just straight up skip the entire boss fight.

Huh interesting thing I just found out about You know how you step forward on most attacks? The game won’t let you fall off a ledge that way if the fall would be lethal If the fall would be non-lethal, it lets you fall over by attacking and stepping forward If you use a weapon skill however it’ll let you fall to your death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipdh1Eumpks

So why exactly do you supposedly want to "clear" frostbite by using fire? Doesn't frostbite reduce defenses so enemies take more damage? Is the idea to clear the status so you can get more of the damage bursts from proc'ing the effect?

Vermain posted:DS1 and DS2 are both easier in terms of their combat systems largely adhering to the give-and-take model of you waiting for (fairly obvious) openings and then exchanging your blows when those openings appear; it's very turn based in general, and anyone who can master the fundamentals of it will find it extremely easy past a certain point, since it requires very little in the way of player skill beyond pattern recognition and a simple level of reactivity It's completely in line with the goal of giving people the "sense of overcoming a challenge" in that long time players can still get a sufficient ball-stomping to feel satisfied, while entirely new people can grab their preferred rocket launcher from the pile but still need to learn enough to be able to abuse it (and can go dial down to more "fundamental" style play over time as they learn if they start getting bored/complacent)

one of the big changes in how to approach combat this time is I think you are supposed to attack a lot of enemies during their combos, not at the end like a lot of bosses seem to have combos that are timed for you to go dodge, attack, dodge, attack

What is the best seal for a Faith build lategame? I've been running with the Godslayer's Seal basically forever, but I never use anything that it boosts other than Black Flame sometimes. I lean on Frenzied Burst for sniping and Black Flame for thinning out groups from closer range before I charge in, and then I've been experimenting with AOE -- Flames of Frenzy or Frozen Lightning Spear or maybe Dragonice? I usually stop casting once combat starts, though, so I haven't been thrilled with AOE that hits 5 monsters for 1/2 their HP and then leaves me with 5 awakened and angry monsters. I tried out the Gravel Stone Seal and loaded up with Lightning Spear and Honed Bolt and Lightning Strike, but I was kinda unimpressed with the damage. (I used to use Lightning Spear for sniping, but Frenzied Burst has kinda replaced it.) Will one of the other seals give me better overall damage since I'm not making much use of the Godslayer perk? At around level 110 my stats are around 40 Vigor 22 Mind 26 End 23 Str 15 Dex 7 Int 45 Faith 12 Arcane Planning to go up to 50 Vigor and 60 Faith and then round off the Str and a little more End and Mind at 150.

I ran into someone who was trolling by getting up to unreachable location and then popping taunter's tongue and bluecop summoner in order to create endless gauntlet of carnage. So I made a video showing the experience/how to do it. If that is the sort of thing that sounds appealing to anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUFL4U_jZyA

So, question about Godfrey: Was he Hora Loux first, then became Godfrey the Elden Lord, then went back to being Hora Loux when he was exiled? Or was he Godfrey from the beginning, and only became Hora Loux when he was exiled? And what's the deal with that Lion Spirit? It's his regent? But Regents serve when the king/lord is incapable of ruling (infirm, or a child etc).

Hey what's up with starlight shards? The item description says they're a consumable item that restores FP gradually, but uh, is that it? It seems like an awfully limited consumable resource for that, unless it lasts until death or 15 minutes or something absurd like that. Or I guess if they're infinitely farmable at some point.

PSA: The amulet that prevents all fall damage is fuckin' lying to you and you can absolutely still die from a fall. lmao you can have one guess how I learned this fun little fact. ... I was like "sweet, I can get to the bottom of this cliff really fast now" and just deliberately hopped off. Yes, I lost the runes permanently. (It does, apparently, prevent damage on falls in between the [zero damage] and [instant death] thresholds)

omg yes thank you for this, that's the kind of analysis I'm looking for. Even with his boring voice and painful mic settings I watched the whole thing. For anyone else who might be interested and doesn't want to put themselves through that thing, the TL;DR is that Godslayer is the best overall seal til 70 Faith, at which point Erdtree wins out slightly. And that apparently the Arcane scaling on the Dragon Communion Seal is good enough that it's basically a contender for best overall seal PLUS you get all the benefits of Arcane wrt Bleed and Madness and item finding and arcane weapons and dragon spells. So I maybe should just respec for Dragon Priest haha.

Also it looks like my Nepheli/Kenneth/Gostoc questioned bugged out and won't complete, so I guess I won't be getting that capstone upgrade material this playthrough.  e: complaining on the internet wins again; I went and talked to them one more time even though I had already exhausted all their dialogue and teleported back to stormveil and now it finally completed!
