I had to take a break from putting my summon sign in the pool in Altus because of how many people were summoning for (and getting invaded during) the Godskin Apostle that's out in the world. Having invasions possible during boss fights is goofy, it's a death sentence for the host unless the invader is incredibly bad.

Goddamnit, the Silver Knight in Stormveil after the bird w/blades & barrels is just absolutely destroying me. I've even tried luring him up the ladder and trying to push him off and he just starts combo-ing and i'm done. I think i'm gonna just try running past him to where-ever the next grace is.

You can put up your summon sign and help peeps. It's a good way to learn the creatures and castle without having to throw poo poo everywhere. (And gain lots of levels cuz you dont lose runes when you die coop)

Vermain posted:lmao jesus christ, did they find an entirely new zip or something That was done with macros. It's a route being explored that uses the same double frame-perfect zip that they use for the final zip to despawn elden beast's floor. It's a double-zip from the chapel of anticipation to stormveil, then a double zip to four belfries (trying to get to four belfries from chapel is too far for the belfries to be loaded in) . Then CFA as normal up to malekith but you need to do two zips to get out of Mal's arena then double-zip to kill him. Except that process only gets you from the clergyman to the Malekith fight, you need to execute the two zips to get out then double-zip AGAIN to actually kill him and get to the ashen capital. So you have to execute 4 extra double-zips over the current run, and you only have 2 chances to get the first of two single-zips out of Malekith's arena before he catches up to you for each of his phases.

Really stuck on Commander Niall and I'm only remotely getting anywhere using the bewitching branch cheese (I wouldn't even call that a cheese), but I still haven't beat him despite using up: - All the bewitching branches that merchant sells you - All the bewitching branches I could craft after scouring the entire loving world for every last Miqullon's Lily on Fextralife, and as far as I can tell those lilies don't grow back. Am I hosed?

Njashi9 posted:Gideon Ofnir endgame spoilers: It’s been said to death, but a lot of the duo fights in this game are very badly tuned imo. The godskin duo is probably the most egregious example of this apart from maybe the two crucible knights. It’s made even worse by the godskins being a progress gate.

The trick is that when he does his lightning-stamp, don't dodge too early. Wait til he's in the air, then dodge. He always follows up with 2 or 3 swipes, which are very easy to parry. I find moving slightly to the right after dodging makes it easier to parry the first one, quite often i'd get hit by that and then parry the second. The Crimson Dagger charm is good for keeping your health topped up, and the Blue one keeps your FP up if you want to follow up with arts. For his other attacks its a matter of staying away for his AoE, staying the gently caress away for his bigger AoE, and lots of dodging when he does his breakdancing swipes. To rush down his summons - run straight in to the double-swordsman and charge up a heavy attack so it'll land right as he spawns. With a second one you should be able to stagger him and use the invulnerability of the critical hit animation to avoid damage. The shield guy is a bit harder, you can roll backwards when he does his charge and slam, but I don't have the timing figured out for that.

If you use greatshield talisman + barricade shield they just bounce off your guard. You can beat them real easy just by holding block and guardcountering whenever they're stuck in that bouncing-off-shield animation. (Get ready to dodge if they start winding up any fancy wind moves though!) Then it's just a 1v1 against the boss. Alternately, explore other directions and come back later with a more-upgraded weapon, if you haven't maxed that out yet. He's an optional boss.

satanic splash-back posted:Both his knights poof if you get him to phase 2 by doing half his life or so Yeah but I found it easier to focus down one of the knights, specifically the two swords one who has some nasty combos, quickly, and at that point the sword and shield guy was a cakewalk. I think that's a better strategy then letting three enemies hack away at you at once.

I beat Starscourge Radahn after two attempts. First attempt I tried doing solo, though I summoned Blaidd once I had ran out of healing, only to die seconds after he spawned in On the second attempt, I summoned...well, everyone! I was kind of shocked you could do that at first, and I figured it would trivialize the fight (which it maybe sort of does). However, I realized that the summons were doing minor damage, so I'd have to keep darting in and hit Radahn to deal any kind of substantial damage. Basically, you have to take Radahn down, but Blaidd, Alexander, and a bunch of other NPC are there to support you and give you time to heal or find an opening. If summons die, you can bring them back by finding where their summon sign respawns. It ends up not being the most nail-biting fight, but one of the more entertaining and unique ones I've seen in a From game. It almost feels like an MMO boss in that regard, where you're DPS, and everyone else is a tank. - Unfortunately, the War-Torn Catacombs that you go to right after are giving me a hard time. All the enemies there can tank a lot of damage, so I think I'm probably going to have to go and level up some more to have an easier time.

"Big knight" enemies like banished and cleanrot knights are one thing that big STR weapons are really nice against because you can so reliably interrupt their attacks. Niall's nothing special when you can run in and splat his two summons without them even being able to get an attack in.

Thanks for the tips on Niall, will give them all a crack. To be clear it's his summons I'm having issues with, not Niall himself - when I still had bewitching branches and could force him to kill them off I was pretty reliably getting his health down to just a tiny fraction before losing the fight.
