Was just running around in Stormveil castle and somebody had a message down that said "try jumping" with their gesture pointing straight into the wall. There was a little ledge that looked like maybe I could get on, so I started jumping to see what would happen. I noclip straight through the wall and fall into the depths of the geometry and die. Fuckin lol

Just had the perfect self-trolling combination of remembering where the War-Dead Catacombs was from a previous playthrough and forgetting that it has the enemy scaling of the zone where the Rosus statue is, not the zone where the door is.

Steve Yun posted:OK, that explains why there was a peasant digging in the early game that turns into a bear From the Mimic Tear Ashes description: quote:Mimic tears are the result of an attempt by the Eternal City to So there’s two possibilities. Either they are successful lord candidates that have been sent out to gather shards and become Elden Lord, or they are failed attempts that were sent out for some other reason.

I think if you’re digging dirt with your own two hands in the scrub-tier lands for runes you’re not making the best of your mission Which is extremely funny

I do not think there is a tougher enemy to parry more than those string-bean Godskin Apostles, they are complete bastards and the learning curve feels extreme compared to every other boss type. I went down to the Nokron area to take on the crucible knights roaming about near the twin gargoyles; both him and his deer staff bro were lightweights in comparison, I was able to parry both blindfolded after that hellish training. This game creator is an evil, evil man and I am not looking forward to taking on the one in the basement of the Caelid tower

when they made a new mimic they tested to see if it was any good, they asked "you must imitate the best and most powerful form, what do you want to be?" and they started over if it didn't say "hey, whatever I chose"

I always saw it as they tested it out on bears, but because the bears were not that complex minded they chose to disguise themselves as humans and then spent their time scratching around in the dirt, because mentally they are still bears. But then you have the scion disguised as a lobster, so i'm not sure what they were thinking there.

I'm hearing a lot of people saying horseback fighting is bad but it sounds like the problem is they aren't using the flail. Run up next to your target and start heavy hit helicoptering your flail into its side and it will both stun and bleed almost anything.

It’s also a shame because it would’ve been a great reinforcement of story themes. Like, Marika and Radagon being two people who are one, who are aligned in will at one point and then at odds. And like almost everything else in the story, one ends up forcing their will on the other

I carry great swords on horseback and I just R2 hold it out and clothesline enemies, usually I can get 2 or 3 enemies if there’s a crowd Does seem to drain stamina a lot to do that tho

Steve Yun posted:Does it use FP to do that? I don't think so, but I'm just gearing up to start ER when the DLC comes out and haven't tried in awhile. I remember just parking my horse next to big monsters and starting up the ol' flailcopter and they would start exploding blood and getting knocked down. The advantage over other weapons is it would do multiple hits and you didn't need to stay in motion like for other weapons. In fact the slower you went the more helicopter blows you'd get in, with the final big swing knocking down.
