Thievery posted:Has anyone who isn't a dagger user had any luck with upgrading weapons at the blacksmith? I feel like if they actually increased the damage like they say they should this game would be way easier. No, I have a Flanged Mace II and it still took me an eternity to chop down the second boss. I'm doing like 7 damage a hit, even after pumping strength a little (since it's supposed to have S strength scaling).

Has anyone tried this on remote play yet? Did they map the l2/r2 to the screen or the back?

Big advice i'd give anyone on bosses as far as i've found is to buy many of the fire/lightning on weapon items from the sanctuary merchant. They're 500G each and so far i've found them both super useful. You can also get a permanent version (of the lightning at least) from completing Leader quests at the sanctuary, that refills its charges when you rest.

The skill tree is super easy, go to whatever nodes give you the EQ you want. maybe grab the extra potion slots early.

The one thing I can't figure out is why I have a sword that my skill tree will let me equip (level 1 greatsword) but when I equip it, it has a line through it. I can still use it but I have a feeling I'm not getting the full damage out of it. Also I really wish o knew the difference between the convents.

The level one great sword thing says it only lets you two-hand level one great swords I believe. e: beat

Hmmnn... I got a ring that says something about setting my minimum Stamina level to one third of the max. Also, sometimes there is a difference between my max Stamina/Health and the health I can reach via healing. I don't think it has to do with dying and going hollow. Any idea what that's about?

Big difference is where you find the default shrines and the items you get. Devara gets holy buff for their quest item, etc and focuses on prayers

I didn't realize the quest lightning item was a permanent refill - only done one Leader quest so far and at the time the estus flask seemed like the best choice. I'll be sure to pick it up on the next one.

Watched a guy use the firebomb items on the first boss and they were hitting for 50 damage, like a fifth of its health.  Fat Samurai posted:Hmmnn...

As you take damage and use spells your maximum health and stamina deteriorate until you die or rest at a sanctuary. Game calls it the wounding effect, at least for hp. There's a ring that reduces it early on.

Best I can work out so far is when you take a certain amount of damage you get "Wounded" and lose some of your max HP. I noticed it when I fought an enemy with fire breath and as my HP went down with each tick of damage (20%ish each time) my max HP slowly got shorter too, up to about 20% less than usual. That's with me wearing the ring that makes wounds have less effect. efb

The level 3 marksman skill seems to be bugged and I cannot learn it even when I have the required amount of pearls. Also wondering if upgrading is bugged since my weapons do similar damage no matter what

Not sure if this is a nobrainer thing or not sorry. And can't say I've noticed that I'm doing the same damage, bare in mind it will display different values from 1h->2h and different enemies have different armor, and one upgrade isn't huge, etc. May bare testing from level 1 to like max when I've got the resources for it.

Is there a shortcut or sanctuary near the Mad Alchemist? I've been running to him from the village of smiles, but that seems kind of far. Also, is there any way to re-join a creed you abandoned? I kind of just abandoned my current one each time I opened a new shrine, and I'm not sure if that will screw me.

Where do you find a chemist?

It's probably the shortest boss run a game can possibly have. Abandoning creeds gives you sin that prevents you from rejoining the abandoned creed until the sin is absolved. There's an Oswald analogue who does that, though she's somewhat hidden. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Mar 16, 2016 |

Hahaha so I tried using a Stained page at one of my Sanctuarys hahahaha everyone in the room gets really pissed off, then you have to face a gauntlet of tougher enemies. Any Sanctuary that was part of that Creed will have pissed off enemies in it, but you get an Engulfed heart for surviving the gauntlet and a Bloody Writ. I don't know what those things do yet.

It seems like the game does not want you to go 2 Handed Dexterity weapons like Scythes + Heavy armor since they are on complete opposite sides of the skill tree, and the heavy armor path is filled with + Str nodes that you don't need for your dexterity weapon. There also isn't a great starting class for Pike based weapons. Guess it's pauper!

Light armor/heavy/two handed are sort of interchangeable and most weapons have alternative dex/str paths if they're viable but it does encourage certain builds. The +1 stats are mostly irrelevent though, in the long run. Also holy crap the 2D metroidvania elements begin to shine when you get all the brands.

Megasabin posted:What do you mean the light/heavy/two handed are interchangable? In terms of your armor to weapon you don't need to worry about matching to armor type, there's like, 3? strength nodes on the way to heavy armor, so it isn't really punishing if you're a dex build and a lot of the light armor skirts mostly willpower with a smidge or two of dex as well.

hit detection is sometimes just really loving bad in this. If anything the 2D aspect just makes me wish I could go 3D when bosses just pin you to a wall and you get hosed.

You can't really get pinned since rolling allows you to pass through an enemy though? Some of the hit boxes do feel a bit weird though. Enemy attacks seem to reach a little further than they look like they should and I swear my Zwei doesn't have as much vertical reach as the animation implies.

Just shed some weight and your rolls get dramatically better.

If you're close to the enemy you'll roll through, if you're too far you'll roll against them. Looks like the turnover point is about halfway through the roll animation.
