Mustached Demon posted:Any recommendations on what to do with these bonfire ascetics? Items like this give me decision paralysis: they feel like megalixers. There's a way to grind as many as you want in the late game, as long as you don't mind turning the area into NG++++++++.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Iirc you have to beat the boss before you can ascetic again so just FYI No, Foregarden doesn’t have a boss linked to it. Guardian dragon is linked to the hidden bonfire later in the zone. You can ascetic Foregarden as many times as you want. Just watch out for the giant basilisk.

Iirc there's an ascetic you can grab there each run too. In Scholar it's a much bigger pain in the rear end though.

Went to iron keep and did battle with many knights. So many knights. They jump out from behind every pillar and window. Knights... Everywhere. I think by the time I finally defeated the forge demon I had amassed like 150k souls. Demon was a damage sponge with some sneaky stuff.

Archers, knights, more knights, more archers, archers who are happy to pin you down from multiple directions, traps that are extremely obvious in retrospect, and that's just the area you've been to! Such a fun area, with a lot of neat twists.

I have 30 HP and 30 stam stat now thanks to the smelter demon.

If you like the vibes of DS "The Buried Giant" by Kazuo Ishiguro might be up your alley. Mists, forgetfulness and aging knights in rusting armour.

rye on white posted:getting owned by darklurker, ran out of effigies. any way to get a bunch of them fast? The mansion in Majula has a basement with skeletons. These drop effigies, but don't respawn, so you gotta use Bonfire Ascetics to farm them. Don't worry though, you can heal in the mansion. giZm fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Apr 28, 2024 |

Conquered Iron Keep and whatever pathway to Satan you call the place the Rotten exists. That's an awful descent that makes the rot lake look like Tahoe. Nice work, Miyazaki, hiding the poison swamp in statues.

Run along the edge there with a torch and look down. Or just look for clumps of Player messages.

John Murdoch posted:It makes the Rotten sad but just break 'em. I don't think the Rotten cares anymore don't worry. It wasn't that awful just some solid Souls design. I apparently killed an NPC: scorpion bro. The bloodstains and very obvious sniping spot told me to kill with arrows. Oh well he dropped a sweet ring.

The chosen undead has to be a monster in order to endure the suffering of dying to things like cute little geckos and swinging so hard they fall off a cliff. Scorpion boss was fun though. Smashed it good with my fancy new claymore a head sold me.

It's a good thing there's a preamble above the picture, because otherwise that kinda seemed legit. Like, you can kill everything in Majula except for Shalquoir, she knows all about you and your quest, and she sells you stuff that a cat has no business with (tbf cats so tend to acquire a lot of poo poo they have no business with) in exchange for souls. She talks too, but that might be the least abnormal thing about her.

Spider cave is god-damned horrifying. So many more spiders than you can see and bow easily jump out everywhere. It's terrifying. Oh then there's the torch that makes them not hostile. Then they all die and drop weapons they very obviously stole from undead that did not have a torch. Boss was cool though, very fun fight reminding me of classic Zelda bosses. Then a flaming mass jumped up and told me to go "visit" the would be king. Off to Drangleic castle. Lore question: don't spoil it with details but is the king I'm seeking the DS1 chosen undead? Four souls seem to be the souls that got chucked in the soul vessel going off their descriptions.

Drangleic castle mostly conquered. I didn't see a way to get to the Queen where I'll obviously I really want the reflect knight armor, that's some good drip. Currently wearing the syan knight gear it's good but harder to match with cool hats.
