...have you guys gotten to the DLC yet, either in stream or on your own? I ask because of the very first thing Artix said this video.

As of last night's stream, I'm maybe halfway through the DLC, I think?

I'm always roofing for a good pun. that said, I think that house's got some bad blood disease. It's got shingles.

Nice job on the Witches! I also really like their fight. A gimmick done right, imho - they are just fragile enough to not make it tedious.

Fun fact: if you have a lot of Insight and I think the day needs to have progressed one more stage, the witch servants start spawning all over Hemwick - so if you do this optional area quite late, the difficulty actually "scales". That's pretty nice. It also means that the crazy summoned monsters are not actually real, or at least the only become real to you if you are insightful enough...

...which means that if you have no Insight whatsoever, you can change the boss fight drastically in your favor!

"But Simon, don't you get one Insight for seeing the boss?"

That's right, but you can Mark out and spend that. Afterwards, well...

Arcane definitely requires the most investment to go all in on... but the highest tier item isn't really worth it imo. Consumes way too many bullets for what it does.

We haven't seen my favorite arcane tool yet. Arcane owns, it's great for melting bosses. Standard enemies go down in about the same amount of hits no matter how you build your character which is a shame.

The nice thing about Arcane, though, is that you get a significant amount of return on going into it in any real degree. It's never really a useless stat.

Apologies for being late, I had literally no time today to put this up until right now.

I have a bonus video demoing that, actually! It's pretty funny that you can make the easiest boss in the game even easier! I'll get that video up sometime tomorrow when I have more than 10 minutes.

Also: I've always taken an alternate route to the Abandoned Workshop; never knew about those ropes.

We're actually still a session off from there, because Artix couldn't make the next one and he wanted in on the Cainhurst session. It's still probably a bit early though.

You can also kill Valtr asap to get the man outside to spawn. You'll have to fight him in succession, though!

That's how you get the item he drops early instead of having to farm Vermin (if, like me, you're cheap and have no online on your PS4).

Also, amazing job at the Shadows. That took me far longer (but most bosses do - I tend to think too much if that makes sense. BB really wants you to just get in there, and that does work far more often than not!).

I always push through the Central Pthumeru chalice dungeon before fighting the Shadows. Gotta get those Shaman Bone Blades, if only for how hilarious they make the fight.

Make them kill each other.

You guys are too handholdy sometimes, I swear. Of course you're intended to "be here" in the Nightmare Frontier - you are obviously encouraged to try out the Tonsil Stone as soon as you get it, and they specifically make it available at a certain point in the game. Also, Argate was doing quite fine...so far.

Otoh, he was letting all the Crystal Lizards go which hurt me deeply, so nevermind I guess :v:.

I don't know if I would've been a happy camper if we finished Nightmare Frontier that session, honestly. Also I was promised Castlevania that session and I wasn't gonna turn that down. :v:
