The Missionary Axe is a fun weapon for Strength builds. It is a greataxe with a moveset of almost nothing but overhead swings and it is hilarious.

14 - Road of Sacrifices Part 3 I try to explain the cyclical nature of linking the flame at the end. I probably didn't do a very good job of it.

I'll actually be using an axe at the start of the next video, but sadly it won't be the Missionary Axe. Though that sounds fun as hell, not gonna lie!

DoubleNegative posted:I try to explain the cyclical nature of linking the flame at the end. I probably didn't do a very good job of it.  It's kind of likely that the Age of Man will in fact only begin after the Flame has died; the Age of Fire is linked to the rule of the gods, and it's implied that without the Flame there wouldn't be a distinction between humans and gods anymore (or it wouldn't be possible to maintain the illusion of such a distinction, depending on your reading), which is why the gods and their followers want to keep the Flame burning. Now whether the Age of Dark that seems to alternate with the Age of Fire is identical with the Age of Man (as claimed by the people who would really like to bring about an Age of Dark), and whether those two are the only possibilities, is a rather different question. And I'm not even going to get into how it's a very valid interpretation that the Flame is a metaphor for capitalism

7:24- I've seen that episode. That's the one where they make fun of the undertaker/grave digger who always adds "filth" and "plague" to every lyric he sings or something. MST3K is still a favorite of mine. Svengoolie is different in that it's less (if anything) about riffing or more about the history and respect for those movies and how they launched or sunset various careers. I feel like I'm listening to a classic movie collector showing me his favorite forgotten B-horror movies and telling me all about them. They're not the greatest movies at times, but they are significant in their history. It's really not my thing, but I have a lot of respect for the guy.

17 - Cathedral of the Deep Part 3 We go pretty high up in this one and so I'm gonna give a blanket content warning for being extremely high up. So if you're not a fan of that, you probably shouldn't be looking between 13:00 and 19:38

I think my greatest disappointment in Sekiro was that there was no Patches character. Is a From game without patches still a From game?

At least it's a very atmospheric area, I suppose. There are also some implications that it's actually Oolacile, or what's left of that place. It also seems to be the reworked version of a cut area called Gods' Grave, which would have been a graveyard in a swamp: https://twitter.com/antyherowow/status/1380679157764489216

I don't actually know! I don't think it did. The wiki is oddly tight-lipped about changes the mod made to individual bosses, sadly.

So, about those sandworms... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgrxv4wd-bU This area is all sorts of weird, but the weirdest part is that the sandworm shouldn't be able to burrow into the ground because the Demon Ruins are down there, right below the surface; and the game even calls attention to that spatial situation by letting you drop into the ruins through a literal hole right in the middle of the lake.

I never did figure out what the intended way of killing that dumb worm was, other than to find a weird bit of geography that blocked it's attacks but let me pelt it with arrows

Carpator Diei posted:So, about those sandworms...  Whaaaat the fuuuuuuck. That's kinda horrifying. The sheer amount of detail most players will never see is astounding. EDIT: Also the hole in the ruins isn't spatially making sense to me now that you've got me thinking about it. The path into the ruins proper would have to actually turn almost 90 degrees counterclockwise from the way it's pointed in order for the drop into the back end to make sense.

Oh yeah it does turn a corner. That kinda makes sense, then? I might have to run through and toggle the free camera to get a good look at the geometry to see how things line up.

I'm not sure if you've mentioned it earlier in the LP, but there's a theory that the corridor areas of the Catacombs of Carthus and the Demon Ruins are the remnants of an attempt to add a Chalice Dungeon equivalent to DSIII; I think that's kind of plausible, those rectangular corridors with clear delineation of height levels could probably be made to fit together in randomly-generated configurations.

Ugh thank god they backed away from that. If those enemies/bosses/items had been integrated properly into Bloodborne instead of via those dogshit chalice dungeons the game would be so much better. And it's already a fantastic game.

Yeah, agreed. While the concept of a randgen Dark Souls level is interesting and probably worth experimenting with, Bloodborne showed that the idea needs a little more time in the oven. And I'm not sure if they had been implemented, DS3's Catacomb Dungeons (or whatever) would have been very successful either. Also I did not know that theory!

A Bloodborne fun fact related to that topic: The random Chalice Dungeons aren't actually procedurally generated; there's a total of 2300 dungeon layouts in the game files, and when you use a Root Chalice you get a random one from that chalice's pool (out of 100 dungeons for each Depth 1-3 chalice and 200 for each Depth 4-5 chalice, including Sinister chalices). In other words, it is theoretically possible to complete every single Chalice Dungeon in the game if you're going at it for long enough, and in fact the community has managed to make a list of what's in each one. So while I think this is kind of fascinating, it also shows that the Chalice Dungeon system is even more half-assed than most people assume, and a hypothetical DSIII equivalent probably wouldn't have fared much better (Though I have to admire FromSoft's skill at masking the mechanical limitations of their games)

it looks like the mod only uses assets already in the game or from bloodborne, so I don't think we're going to see any new types of mimic I really hope I'm wrong though

I can confirm that there are no new types of mimics in Cinders. That doesn't mean it doesn't have its own surprise dick moves, though!
