SardonicTyrant posted:Ever notice you only see the godskins in places that have abandoned the gods? The windmill village ladies have gotten into pagan dances slash ritual murder, there's a godskin in the serpent shrine in mt gelmir, and there's one in the caelid divine tower, which sorta makes sense cause the redmane knights are trying to kill their demigod (albiet for noble reasons) only thing I dont get are the duo in farum azula From the wiki: The godskins serve the gloam eyed queen. She, at some point, had the death rune and the godskins are all about destined death and godslaying. Maliketh took it through honorable combat. Anywhere godslaying or destined death show up they do. One guarding the deathy curse mark in Luinaria Tower too. The duo's probably there to take the rune back. Caelid one's guarding the very sword the gloam eye queen wielded. Gelmir one is probably making friends with snakes because gently caress the golden order. Same with the windmill one. Dunno if the rune originally belonged to the gloam eyed queen or if she got it after Marika chipped it off the Elden Ring.

I think I've been playing too much. Tonight I dreamt I was playing Elden Ring in a level that was a claustrophobic city covered in canals and beneath every canal was another layer of city with different enemies, mostly hand monsters but clawed and with an entire arm as a tail. With the boss being in a wooden fort on top behind a fog gate locked with the "Phopal Gal" medallion. I like that my mind was just making up nonsense but it was very much in the spirit of the actual game.

Beat sewer Mohg with a +0 Cross Naginata w/ Flaming Strike, RL119, and a few black fireballs when he used his area denial downpour. No flasks remaining at the end, a long slog even though he didn't hit all that hard. A very traditional fight, learn the janky timings, find the safe openings, no status cheese. I believe that's everything that can be done (except Mohgwyn Palace, I suppose) prior to beating Morgott and opening the mountaintops. I'm excited to see and learn Morgott's cool moveset properly, he's got far too little health to let it shine in a normal playthrough.

in the game world there's a lot of little details that suggest factions aren't as disparate as they seem and there's a lot of cross-pollination of various kinds going on

The twin gargoyle's trick is that you don't have to fight them because there's another secret way into the zone they guard at the very very very bottom of the sewer area later in the game.

Wolfsheim posted:Okay what is the twin gargoyles trick because lol No trick, as far as I know. They’re tough and you’re levels might be a bit low. Do as much damage in as short a time as possible to the first one when the second one shows to minimize the time you’re fighting 1v2. They’re weak to strike. Good luck?

The trick is to use physical attacks (especially striking damage) if you're a priest or warrior and magic attacks (or Rock Sling) if you're a sorcerer. Don't bother with status effects. Make sure you have a powerful spirit ash (Banished Knight Oleg and Battlemage Hugues are ideal) and (if you've followed Fia's questline) give D's armour to the naked sad-sack near the boss arena so you can summon him as an NPC ally. Apart from that, treat them like Crucible Knights - your job is to roll through their attacks and peck away at them one blow at a time.

Arent they super vulnerable to magic? Strike damage is the key, or just lots of damage in general. Summon a spirit ash but not D - he isnt much help and causes their HP to buff. It's a real fucker of a fight, dont feel bad to mark it down to tackle later.

They've got a 20% resistance to magic, a 0% resistance to striking damage, a 35% resistance to all other kinds of physical damage, and a 40% resistance to all other kinds of elemental damage. Plan accordingly.

I'm intrigued... I was a bit worried about advancing the plot too quickly and having Ranni get mad that I didn't kill some guy underground whose name I've forgotten. I also haven't seen Fia in like twenty hours and didn't know that she even had a plotline to advance to get a guy to help, and the only tanky summon I have is the banished knight Bill Engvall and he totally eats poo poo against them so maybe I just need to explore around more.

Sicko alert: The more ulcerated tree spirits I fight the less I mind them. The way they can near-instantly go into explosion mode at random or chain grab you is not ideal, but otherwise I do really well against them. Meanwhile I find Avatars...not difficult but kind of annoying. And starspawn are a way messier and obnoxious boss type by far. Magma wyrms are mostly just tedious particularly if their AI goes overboard on the lava puke. John Murdoch fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Feb 12, 2023 |

The useful thing about Ulcerated Tree Spirits is that once you filter out all their mad wriggling, their actual attacks are relatively slow, infrequent, and well-telegraphed. They're easy bait for guard counters, and even their mid-fight nuke attack has a significant telegraph if you know what to look out for. The Tree Spirit coils in on itself into a rough cone shape, then starts glowing before going boom.

FreudianSlippers posted:Elemer of the Briar isn't a very nice man. Depending on when you stumble into that place, he can go from a sweaty fight to a downright brick wall. You're in a cramped little room and he can hit hard, fast, and at frightening distances. If I recall, the move was too stick on him and get behind him as often as possible, because he has no trouble hitting you anywhere in the room, but you can only melee him from arm's length, so putting space between you only helps him. He took me several tries as well. Good luck, skeleton.

Really wish they'd let you un-interact with some statues. People love fighting Radahn with no points in vigor Sometimes my staff thingy that sends my summon sign out to statues is grayed out, even though I'm in an area where I think I should be able to use it. Do I need to have at least one nearby statue activated to do it?I avoid many of them because while I love assisting with bosses, assisting with caves and exploration sections is tedious for me.

Lance and Fingerprint Shield were a fun little diversion but now it's back to Greatsword life. It's freed up so much equip load that now I can also have my Star Fists at the ready, which are a lot of fun even if I'm not good at them at all and constantly die to trivial enemies after whiffing humiliatingly edit - they also let me keep using Flaming Strike, which is something I'm going to rush out of the gate on future playthroughs. It's sooooo good.
