The recipe is hidden in limgrave I believe. Just one will knock them out and you can deal with them one at a time. It's their major weakness. Edit: If you don't have the recipe you can find the it by climbing the ruin that the great Kenneth Haight resides on.

The best advice is fight the Noble first. Despite his looks he is faster and more aggressive, so if you fight the Apostle then you're fighting a 2v1. If you fight the Noble you're fighting a 1v1 with the occasional fireball tossed in for flavour. The hard part is dealing with the Noble's phase 2 attacks, especially his glitchy-rear end roll. If you stay near where his head is then it's easier to dodge, but I was never able to manage it consistently. The pillars sometimes stop the roll but sometimes don't. Some advice that doesn't help with the fight itself, but it still useful, is that there's a much closer grace. You get there by doing a 180 from the Dragon Temple grace, jumping down to the stairs, and then doing some other steps I forget. The banished knights on the way from the main grace are really annoying, so having one right next door can greatly streamline things.

Oh and hot tip for new tarnished: holding the d-pad down for a second will return the item selection to the first slot, so you don't have to worry about looping back around the belt.

Fat guy resists smash, skinny guy resists slash. Fat guy is the most dangerous of the two by a huge margin. Sleep one and focus on the other, or learn to get good at using the environment to separate them. You can keep hitting them as they despawn to do extra free damage for a couple seconds. Put up a 100% phys resist shield for the large lad roll, everything else is just tempting fate.

err posted:thanks, i have never crafted in this game and the idea of only having enough pots for a few runs or whatever makes it scary The pots themselves are indestructible, and reform as empty pots when used. The real problem is there is a limited amount of the Lily's that are the base of all sleep recipes. But you'll honestly only use maybe 2 per run, and they can trivialize the fight so much that you really won't need to worry about the limited amount. My bleed build was able to kill them before they even get back up from sleep since the standing up animation is very slow.

I've been kicking butt the past two days. Starting to feel like I'm actually decent at this game, even if much of it is just levels and gear. Having beaten the Starscourge, I followed the new marker on my map, and slowly made my way down to the Eternal City. Well, its rooftops, in any event. Clambered around, battling slimes and ghouls on my way down to solid-ish ground. There, I found my first boss of the area, and it was... me? Well, that's pretty foolish. If there's one thing that this game has taught me, it is how to kill my own character. So that is what I did, on purpose for once. Moving on from there, I found the Land of the Living Ghost Vikings. Much like in the more-normal Land of the Ghost Vikings, I had to light a bunch of pillars in order to activate a big deer corpse. The pizza cutter turned out to be a really great weapon for fighting Living Ghost Vikings, as I could generally stunlock them and win without them fighting back. Fighting the giant spirit deer boss, though... that was intense. I still had most of its patterns down from the last one that I fought, and the only new attack that I saw was a goofy rolling thing. But the pizza cutter just was not doing the job. I had it down to about half health when I completely ran out of potions, and in desperation switched to one of my colossal dragon claw, since it swings faster. And, with no healing at all, damned if I didn't take that thing down on the first try. From there, I did some careful platforming down and down and down, until I arrived in the proper Land of the Ghost Vikings. But, since I'd been there before, I doubled back and found another path that took me to some castle area full of waterfalls. And there I met the twin gargoyles. gently caress the twin gargoyles. I bounced off from them for the rest of the night. I managed to kill one once, but never got close enough that I thought I could pull it off. Then the next day, I saw this post: Heithinn Grasida posted:+8 is way too low for where you are in the game. You should be over +15 by this point on a main weapon. The game is surprisingly stingy with standard upgrade materials, so it’s a good idea to use a few special weapons that upgrade with somber stones along with one standard weapon that you pump all your stones into. So I went back to the Hall of Echoes, burned some Golden Runes to fund the furnaces, and upgraded my +9 Great Mace to +15, and my Spirit Jellyfish up to +6. I also visited the Fingers and bought a couple pieces of Radahn's armor. The next attempt against the gargoyles went much better, and a few times after that the bastards finally fell. Thanks, Heithinn! Up the waterfall I went. And, boy, I joked earlier about how playing Grounded had prepared me for parts of this game, but, wow, did playing Grounded ever prepare me for parts of this game! Fighting giant ants and bees, platforming around on giant tree branches... this was one Grounded-rear end segment. It was also a ton of fun. I was really feeling the power difference with the mace at +15, and the Radahn helm just looks so cool. I eventually made my way up some branches and into the side of some ruins, where the Great Deku Tree had seen better days. There was a boss rush with some summoned spirits, but the new mace was still swinging strong, and I won on my second attempt. My victory earned me a teleporter to... the entrance of Leyndell? gently caress. Not only do I not wanna be there, I've already got a site of grace right here to teleport to. So, back to Volcano Manor. I followed Esme's advice and advanced their questline, invading and killing two Tarnished, but the third one lives off my current map. While I was there to get the third job, I happened across a concealed passageway, with a whooole lot behind it. Had a bit of trouble up on rooftops, getting poison gas clouds thrown at me, but some caution let me clear the way. I stumbled onto a Magma Wyrm that was a lot tougher than the boss version, and proved too much for me to handle on a few attempts. I never got close to victory, but I didn't need to fight it, so I just bypassed it. Then I came across a Godskin Noble, who just has a really delightful design. He beat me down hard the first couple tries, but then it clicked, and I only needed one healing potion for the final attempt. I pushed further from there, past some awesome snake-guys with really cool looking fire weapons. I was hoping that they would drop, but no such luck. Even though I can't imagine I have the right stats to use it well, I want one of those amazing three-headed fire whips. Instead, I just kept on going, ultimately making my way to the God-Devouring Serpent. That's where I'm currently sitting, having gotten the second phase down to about 30% on my last attempt. If I kill this guy, will it lock me out of finishing the Volcano Manor quests?

You should go back to the Leyndell back door teleport site of grace near the boss arena, there’s a chance you missed someone hanging out over there after the fight. Also, great job on the gargoyles, they’re really potentially nasty if you don’t find the NPC summon for them.

Stop fighting the serpent if you want to complete the volcano manor quest line. The whip you like the look of is a quest reward from the manor quest line, but only if you've met patches and became best friends. He's hiding in a cave in limgrave.

Great Mace looks so cool but I always end up finding something I like a bit more, glad you're enjoying it, greathammers as a class are just super fun but you get sort of addicted to the staggering and poise crushing. It must be what bleed builds feel like to make up for how piddly and meek their little toothpicks are But yeah that gargoyle fight is a real brutal wall for new players, getting past it is a real accomplishment Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Jan 28, 2023 |

FYI the first time you enter that huge arena, activates Fia's Champions boss fight. This occurs irrespective if you have been progessing Fia's questline. It's only after you progress, either through Rogier's storyline, or start the first burning of the Erdtree, that Fia herself will relocate to that arena. And when she does so you can progress spawning another boss in that huge arena.

The physick which makes enemies stagger more helps with heavy melee stuff. Try to focus on the fat one at the start and on the later phase just wail on them so you won't get two at a time again.

All Godskins are weak to slashing damage, and all 'real' Godskins are weak to status effects (as in, all of them apart from the two you fight in the Spiritcaller Cave). A Strength build should have plenty of options against them. Just don't use a big ungabunga club, because they're well-padded against Striking damage, and don't bother with elemental damage, especially fire and holy.

Most of the main ones are all part of or related to the tarnished at the round table. Theyre all fairly easy to miss and wont really give you much info from just talking them there. They mostly give you variations of the ending sequence but also lots of background and lore. Theres another two endings that are seperate and have their own quests unrelated to the roundtable tarnished. I found one of those very easily without guides and only found the second one after looking at lore videos. You could very easily miss all of them as well as the couple of quests that dont impact the ending if you werent doing a lot of wandering around. Im being obtuse because i think raw dogging the game is a wonderful experience but i can be more specific if you like

Yeah it's pretty badass. The incantation you get from him whips rear end, too.Darth Walrus posted:Just don't use a big ungabunga club, because they're well-padded against Striking damage, This can be particularly true for the fat apostle, because he's prone to suddenly whipping out quick melee retaliations and you will absolutely get hit by them if you're still committed to a big slow clumsy weapon swing. The skinny boy has some heavily telegraphed moves that leave him open if you pay attention, so duelling him with an ungabunga club is perfectly feasible if you know what you're doing. But the big chungus can and will severely punish you for making yourself vulnerable within his reach.
