That's a good point. I quite enjoyed Gael. And since I am not going for the plat, it's hard to get up for that one last fight. Without having actually finished it I will still say Nameless King was the hardest fight in the game. Mainly because of how much damage he did along with his irregular attacks. Without doing DS2, I will say hardest fights: 1 - ISS 2 - Malenia 3 - Radagon/Elden Beast Those 3 are their own tier of hard.

Does Midir even have a weapon or spell? No.. it was something to do with the spears of the church?

Waltzing Along posted:It's not the friction with Midir. After that attempt I can see I can do him and probably relatively quickly. The problem is that there is nothing after And nothing else. It's just a moderately annoying run back each attempt. But once he's down, nothing to spend the souls on. Nowhere to go. Just done. And I'm burned out already. imo use cheat engine to beat him, then use it to fly and and have total unlocked control of your body's proportions in invasions until you are banned

The big laser can be dodged by sprinting to his left hind leg (your right). Chill there, buff up, and sprint to his head and get several punishes in while Midir is gassed.

Waltzing Along posted:1 - ISS 3 - Radagon/Elden Beast I even have a screenshot of its healthbar at one pixel Beast Clergyman gave me the next most trouble, but a lot of the other bosses that people said were hard were doable in less than 6 tries. I've never beat a soulsbourne, but in 3 I lack those last 2 fights in ringed city and regular non dlc final boss only. I used to do soul level one runs a lot as well. Played all the soulsbournes and sekiro, except demons souls and somehow haven't beaten any technically, though I know them pretty well. I guess keeping myself within "ideal PVP range" may be a handicap. I don't like to overlevel Quaint Quail Quilt fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Sep 28, 2023 |

Just started this after finishing Bloodborne, and my first negative impression is that the weapons are kind of boring! The game is otherwise very good, but I miss the creativity and variety of the Bloodborne weapons What are some good/cool weapons for a Dex build? right now I'm just using Irithyll's sword which is kind of cool because it's frosty and blue, but I don't think it's a long term choice

I really liked the ugs you get from the abyss watchers, can't remember the name but it scales off sex primary I think. Its a dual wield parry dagger and ultra greatsword and does this cool spin l1. I'm aware of the autocorrect and leaving it because its proof of the Greater Will

You can pretty much rush them as soon as you're at the cathedral E: that area also has the crow quills, another very good and fun dex weapon

Lots of people like the sellsword twinblades that you find in Farron Keep near the Black Knight. The Astora Greatsword, near the Cleansing chapel, is awesome and has S-scaling for Dex with a Sharp infusion.

I started playing The Convergence mod, it seems pretty cool so far. There are like 12 schools of magic, I picked druid and get to summon a rat and have a poison missile spell. Only just got to high wall so I haven't seen how different the areas are yet.

This is my first souls game since Demon's Souls. I've been using rolling like it's the dodge button in a Platinum type action game just assuming I'll have iframes if I time it right. I know this is a tremendously dumb assumption but it's kinda worked pretty well so I've just gone with it... the Nameless King is making me think that was a bad habit to build. Does rolling direction play a significant...role...in how the game calculates hitboxes?

I've been using rolling like it's the dodge button in a Platinum type action game just assuming I'll have iframes if I time it right. not in any direct way; it's more just the timing of iframes vs. active frames, where rolling into a swing is generally preferred because it'll get you out of the hurtbox faster and thus make it less likely to clip you once your iframes finish. some bosses just have abnormally lingering hurtboxes for whatever reason

Ok that makes sense. I've been primarily rolling forward into most humanoid bosses so I'm in attack range basically all the time and it worked great for every encounter...but I've died 20x in a row to Nameless King so clearly I need to figure something else out.

It's kinda about how the hitboxes are calculated, in the sense that moving some ways will move your hitbox into the hurt, and moving other ways will move your hitbox out of the hurt

Yeah I think I've definitely been rolling into his hurt box because my assumption was "hey I'm unhittable if I roll during the attack regardless" While I'm soliciting advice... I'm playing a 2 hand strength build. Exclusively pumping points into strength, endurance and vitality as needed to stay below 70% load. HP is at 1000 which seems like it should be enough. Is Yhorms machete my end game weapon? I started with Vordts Hammer and currently have the Executioner Greatsword +10.

Nameless King is designed to punish rollspamming. His moveset has just the right amount of delays between actions to catch a player with their pants down. Your best bet is either roll reactively, facetank with a greatshield, or spam ranged attacks.

If you convert the Dragonslayer Armor's soul into a shied, that will make the Nameless King very easy. It's also a good spot for Jolly Cooperation!

Using an upgraded Lothric Knight Shield helps a lot since it has great stability (60 at +4) and 87 lightning def

Arrhythmia posted:just don't die to lothric Ezpz  It took me a while to stop freaking out about the random bullshit magic spray that opens the second phase. I finally landed on “just dodge constantly until it’s gone then reassess what the hell larian is doing” I never saw it, but I assume it’s possible for them to charge a death beam while the soulmass stuff is spraying around? That would suck. Like champion gundyr, my main problem was patience. Mind the stamina bar, their health pools aren’t THAT bad. Phew, definitely the roughest boss fight I’ve had since Pontiff. Though killing Crystal Sage 2 in the archives felt like a worse time. My spatial reasoning just stopped working in there for some reason. Immediately after lothric, I went to archdragon peak and some red phantom invaded me. They were nice enough to wait until I finished killing one of those snake neck things and then promptly murdered me without ridiculous gimmicks. A true gentleman/lady.

Twin Princes has given me the hardest time across DS1, 2 and 3 plus Elden Ring. Pain in the rear end. There's some good news because the gauntlet over that bridge is a decent place to farm souls. Good luck though. that fight sucks.
