Also I just beat Mohg. And like, what's his deal? His mini-me self is trying to stop me from reaching the 3 fingers? Or did I just stumble into him and he can't get the platforming section right? Then I find his dope pad, but he's raising an army of.. plump sorts and uncontrollable raptors. For Lord's sake they clearly just stole a Tiba Mariner's horn. Is he scary? Is he a joke? I get "tale of house hoslow told in blood  " vibes from the whole place.

Quick question about Jarburg's quest: So I gave Jar-Bairn Alexander's remains and now he's hosed off, but he did so before Diallos usually appears. Am I hosed? I'd love a 2nd Haslow's whip but I am really fuckin cursed with these NPC quests

MEIN RAVEN posted:That's what I'm rocking now, and it has been GREAT. But I'm worried the ultimate is a bit too slow for some of these final bosses. Malekith in particular, but I really only tried a few times before I just kind of meh'ed out of there. I'll give it another shot tomorrow. I'm saving Malenia for the last possible moment... (please tell me I can try Malenia after I beat the game) Full on arcane bleed is the best build. Except for the final boss, they are completely immune to bleed. But it destroys every other boss. And yeah i agree with the previous poster that blasphemous blade wrecks malenia. Faith build is good for final boss too as you can just stack holy damage to an insane degree And yes you can fight Malenia after beating the game. Just dont select NG+ when given the choice

If Jar-Bairn is no longer there, welp.

Like I get what's happening in the game, but what about in the computer lol I don't know if they've really quite worked out the internal logic of zip glitches, but it's apparently some weird interaction of the game trying to link the idle_block animation and the walking animation that are on different frame cycles, and getting it to happen in frame refresh window apparently results in some massive acceleration that "zips" you across the map. Speedrunners have been using metronomes and lower resolutions to create the most favorable timing for hitting that frame.

The dress of a Luminary, the reigning lord and hierarch of the coming dynasty of Mohgwyn. Or perhaps, of a raving lunatic." another for the pile of souls bosses that hold huge personal power but are completely insane, pitiful wrecks in practice

People being raised for terrible reasons and finding some meaning in their life contrary to their “intended” purpose are worth thinking about. Sometimes it works out (Jars) and sometimes it doesn’t Blaidd This fits well into my anti-colonizer interpretation of the game

I equip a talisman so I'd have enough faith to cast inescapable frenzy (grab) and one shot the mad tongue invader at the roundtable for 4.5k  I had flame give me strength up so I assume that helped but it seems pretty great for invaders that spawn in next to you. I wonder if it works on bellbearing hunter or if the bloodflame buff works on it to add bleed to the madness effect.

hazardousmouse posted:oh nnoooo the weird vaat theories are rising hardly weird theories when the game's telling you outright "Robe made by sewing together patches of smooth skin. Subcutaneous fat makes it plump and soft. Worn by Godskin Nobles, known for their seven-face aprons. Strengthens the Noble Presence incantation. Nobles are the most ancient apostles who are said to have assimilated inhuman physiology. Not unlike the crucible, the Erdtree in its primordial form." pretty explicit connection between two there snake wizard with the egg hat is probably unrelated though, it's using fire sorcery pretty much the same as the ones you get and doesn't really look anything like the fire breath either Assessor of Maat fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Apr 9, 2022 |

Regarding the effect of summons on difficulty, as someone who has been relying significantly on them (and is probably having a better time for it), they definitely kinda trivialize some stuff in a way that feels "cheap" (and I'm not someone with much previous Soulsborne experience - I've played most of one playthrough of DS1 and less than half of DS2). It's not so much "having a strong tool" (like choosing to use a powerful weapon or sorcery - stuff that just increases numbers) as it is "something that removes most of the mechanics in a fight for as long as it survives." Most of the difficulty in these games seems to come from the pressure the bosses put on you (and the need for accuracy in responding to their mechanics), and the ability to effectively have a "tank" negates that. It kind of reminds me if FF14 bosses with respect to the importance of handling "mechanics" (and an FF14 fight would be boring if you had the ability to just stop mechanics from applying to your character for most if the fight). I kind of wish that I had tried Margit without my summons (minus the NPC guy) first, since it ended up being really anticlimactic with my goblins holding his attention 80% of the time. So ultimately I'm happy summons exist, but I also agree that the better ones are a bit of a "crutch" in a way beyond other powerful abilities. I'll at least attempt any new bosses without summons the first couple times. I like having the option to effectively "lower the difficulty" though (and will absolutely use it on bosses of types I've already fought).

That water never gets a bridge over it or anything. Is it some weird thing where the messages on the opposite shore are being positioned incorrectly or something? I once spawned as an invader at the bottom of the water, unable to get out, but undamaged. I saw lots of messages twenty feet midair / on the water’s surface, so I wrote another which popped into existence up there, never to be read or rated.

I’ve engaged with ER as a PvP game, specifically with invasions, way more than I have with other soulsborne stuff and honestly it owns. There’s so much build variety and so many fun tools. I have like 30 hours into a PvP focused char and feel like I could do a few more different builds and get this much mileage. With the whole 1vX thing it almost hits this sandbox MMO vibe from the sort of games that let you try to gank people running group PVE content. I can totally see how it would be super oppressive in a dueling meta but honestly I think Bloodhound Step is fair game in invasions. You get put into so many 3v1s against everything else that occupies the space of “cheesy pvp bullshit” (along with BHS) that you need some sort of tool that lets you at least be able to reposition and buy time/space.

I'd love a 2nd Haslow's whip but I am really fuckin cursed with these NPC quests So I read somewhere that if you get the whip from the invader Juno Hoslow you can't get it from Diallos. However, interestingly I ended up giving my Hoslow whip from June to a friend before complete Diallos' quest. They returned it to me before I finished Jarburg and I was able to secure a second whip.

Assessor of Maat posted:I presume he's put a projection of himself there because he and his brother are both trying to keep the three fingers locked away, since the path behind him has one of the golden "sealed by morgott" walls blocking if you go there asap I actually had just gotten home from work and was pondering this exact topic myself. Putting everything in block spoilers since I can't be bothered at 10:30 pm: OK, so two things stand out to me here about Mohg in the Shunning Grounds. 1. He's very mundane. He looks like Mohg still, he has his trident, but he doesn't really use any of his blood magic obviously, nor the pedophile Latin, or anything like that 2. He's Mohg and not Mahg or Magog or whatever, unlike Morgott who for whatever reason needed to provide plausible deniability. Just Mohg, the Omen. And a few other details strike me when I think about his deal:
Mohg the Omen is a decoy, he's meant to serve to convince the other demigods that Mohg is just chilling in the Shunning Grounds and has absolutely no aspirations to anything beyond that. That's how he survived the Shattering intact when Malenia, Morgott, Radahn all fought the gently caress outta each other. Rykard got eaten. Ranni got "murdered". Meanwhile, Mohg lurks while plotting his pedophilia blood fantasies before finally kidnapping Miquella. And NO ONE SUSPECTS because, after all, if they wanted to check on him, he's still i the fuckbarrel below Leyndell right? And if you interact with him he has nothing going for him. Probably whenever he stumbled across the Formless Mother stuff (speaking of DLC candidates) he went "Oh poo poo" and set up the fake illusion while telling NO MOM I'M JUST IN MY BEDROOM KNOCK FIRST!
