Haunting you until no 8 arrives.

Man don't tell me that, I haven't had the chance or the cash to pick up the DS3 DLC yet and now I really want to if there's another Lady Maria fight. :(

For what it's worth, the Abyss Watchers already kinda feels like another take on Lady Maria.

Yeah, they got a little copy-happy with Maria.

I was disappointed with Ariandel DLC, have to be honest, though I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much sorceries make the Friede boss better to manage compared to the 'crawl over glass' experience that my bleed build was.

Ringed City DLC otoh's got the most amazingly bombastic, Berzerk-style bossfight in the entire series though, so that one's v much worth it.

Also here's a bonus video I've been sitting on for a while of a thing that happens after the Blood Moon.

The Rakuyo is a very fun weapon.

It has crazy-varied combo potential when transformed.

I believe:
R1s are slashing attacks.
R2s are stabbing attacks.
They can be freely interchanged.
L2 does a different finisher-type move depending on if it follows a slash, a stab, or is done stand-alone.

Then of course, there are the transformation attacks and the un-transformed move set.

Probably my favorite Skill weapon in the game.

You can parry them, the timing is straight hosed for most of their animations though so when you can parry is very weird sometimes.

Not sure if you know it by now, or care, but you need more than the Arcane requirement to use the Parasite.

You need to have collected all the brain fluid for the lady in the Research Hall. She gives you a rune that you need to equip to properly use the weapon.

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Originally the plan was for me to record and send some footage re: the kos parasite and everything related to it to Argate, but let me tell you about the Orphan of Kos. See, I'm not Argate. I don't have any sort of unique interactions with this game, and the Orphan basically stomps my face in about halfway through phase 2 every single time I fight him. This was recorded close to 3 months ago, and I have been semi-regularly trying to fight the little shitter ever since, to no avail.

I would totally solicit help from the thread, but I'm going on a week-long vacation in a few days, so maybe not. Anybody game to help me out in a week or so? :v:

That's right! I'm not about to let this smug-rear end game think it's better than me!

Maybe I just need to load up the Orphan fight before I leave. That way it'll be impossible for me to get impatient, and he'll have drowned in all the rainwater by the time I get back :v:

Can't you solicit ChaosArgate for help? Maybe if he shows up to help you fight the Orphan, you'll get some of those unique interactions.

We tried a couple of runs before we recorded that Laurence bonus video and burned up all of liquidy's remaining insight. You're not wrong about unique interactions happening though - I was completely unable to stagger Orphan 80% of the time for some reason! It could be internet latency, but liquidy saw me deliver stabs right to the Orphan's backside, so I have no idea! Anyway, RGretta's finished the story so she doesn't have access to the Orphan's arena right now and won't for a good while, and my other character's stone walled by the two nuns just before the Research Hall. I also don't have PS+ access on the PS4 I play on now, which isn't very conducive to co-op play.

They aren't buttholes CJacobs, they're spinnerets.

It's always amusing though when you talk for like 5 minutes with spiders on screen perfectly fine then it's like it finally sinks in and you completely lose your mind.
