Lunatic Sledge posted:Oh man I am actually right there. He's dodgeable, yes; but after what feels like forty hours of picking away at his ankles I will inevitably gently caress up somewhere and it only takes one for me to have to start over. As far as I can tell, though, there's no way to bring in anyone else. I got him down to half health before I flubbed a dodge and ate it.  I like to have some method of recovery during a fight at the very least.Also your videos are really entertaining and I hope you continue making them.

Unfortunately, it looks like I will be preoccupied with fighting Vendrick forever It's always something dumb, too. I got hung up on his big ol' pile of clothes this time.

Lunatic Sledge posted:Oh, thank you! Honestly, Vendrick is the epitome of a memorization fight. Don't get greedy, don't take more hits than you have to, to save stamina for rolling or blocking. It comes down to 'Don't gently caress up'. I hugged his left leg (side without the greatsword) and I was able to roll past most of his attacks, but yeah, Vendrick is most definitely a royal pain.

I'm sorry if anyone has asked this recently, but is 150 SL what people are actively settling on for pvp? Seems like reddit is all on top of the 150 SL wagon, and I can't find anything anywhere else about it.

Cowcaster posted:Is the S scaling you get from infusing the Moonlight Greatsword with magic worth the flat damage hit it takes over regular? Or is the amount of int you'd need to crank in order to match/surpass the damage loss too much to be worth it? Make it Raw unless your int is 40+.  99 in all damage stat comparison (not sure on Mundane) West Ham Sandwich posted:I'm sorry if anyone has asked this recently, but is 150 SL what people are actively settling on for pvp?

I always fight him on the balcony because it gives me more space. Pursuer isn't even a boss in my book, he's too easy. He has like 3 attacks and they're all super easy to dodge.

The Pursuer is incredibly easy if you have even the slightest ability to roll. I don't see why you would need ballistas or whatever to kill him.

Graviija posted:The Pursuer is incredibly easy if you have even the slightest ability to roll. I don't see why you would need ballistas or whatever to kill him. Pretty much that. Literally every attack is dogeable by rolling to the back, except his charge up attack and thrust charge, which is one to the right.

He's one of the fights where he's really really scary when you're a completely new player, but that you can go back to later and laugh at his face. A lot like Taurus demon in DkS.

True that. His presentation is kinda scary for a new player as well. A huge dude floating in air with massive armor - and god drat res glowing eyes.

Ugh. Would somebody in the 330K soul memory range be willing to give me a Prisoner's Hood? Specifically, the one that just covers the nose and mouth? I've farmed the prisoners in Huntsman's Copse, Harvest Valley, and Grave of Saints to extinction, and I don't think the ones in the Gutter drop the right kind. I've got like five of the ugly version that covers your whole head, if you're into that kind of thing. I just don't want to look like a goddamn clown when I'm farming for drops, be it a jester or a mime. Edit: Make that 350K. Half an hour of pirate genocide, and not a single Sea Bow. God drat America.

Seen a few people having trouble with Vendrick, been said a million times in this thread but I'll say it again....Hug just behind his left leg at all times, his frontal swings will miss and theres nothing else that will hit you from there...don't get too greedy with damage and if he gets too close to a wall and you cant properly circle him, move far away quickly and make him follow you, just be sure to dodge any incoming attack....then back to that left leg once its safe!

I really appreciate everybody's advice about hugging the left leg That being said, yes I know to hug the left leg I was hugging the left leg agghhh. I hate Vendrick because I could have the fight down in my sleep but if I step slightly out of range or stop strafing too early suddenly the whole fight goes down the shitter. For the curious, I circle strafed at the back-ish of his left leg but died fives times in a row the following ways, in no particular order: 1. Attempting to roll sideways, only to get stopped on his pile of clothes 2. Vendrick deciding that, even though I am to his left and slightly behind him, he should hop backward twice in a row and then go crazy 3. Vendrick swinging three times, total, and turning each time to catch me with the third one because--gently caress me--I thought I was safe to attack after his second swing 4. Vendrick throwing that weird funk as soon as I walk through the door, and me not really expecting it 5. When I try to lure Vendrick away from the wall, I roll too early and eat his pouncing Braver thing The sixth time almost went bad but I improvised. I swear to god his AI changes when he's low on health; he just started doing the hop-back hop-forward-cleave thing over and over, no matter where I was positioned. I just had to finish him off while working around it. Vendrick can eat my butthole.

It's a long fight, but it's not like you can't heal during it. Treat healing on bossfights the same as going for a hit on the boss, dodge first and wait for an opening then heal. Sometimes the boss doesn't start a new attack for a while allowing you to heal, but you can't rely on those windows it'll get you killed.
