Is it ever worthwhile to upgrade a torch for the fire damage?

I stumbled into the Godskin Duo fight unprepared and was able to beat them on the first try. OTOH, I am shameless about abusing Mimic Tear and was powerstancing Moonveil and a Cold Uchi, both fully upgraded. Now, Malenia, that's a roadblock for me. Either I or my summon dies to a single combo out of nowhere.

Lawdog69 posted:What’s the easiest way to beat Radagon + Elden Beast? I’m just losing steam on this game (great as it is) and want to finish it off before moving on to something new for a while. Have gotten Elden Beast to half a couple times now and don’t really feel like spending another 4 hours trying. Black Knife Tiche +10, probably assisted by some black flame incantations.

You can also pop runes occasionally when you find a merchant selling certain ammo types to give yourself enough to not have to think about them for a long time, with purchased arrows usually doing more damage than crafted ones.

Gay Rat Wedding posted:Offensive miracles were originally very overpowered in DS2 and then were nerfed into worthlessness. 10-12 high-damage casts of lightning spear down to 3-4 which did less damage to most things than before. I don't think it was the case right at launch, but there was absolutely a period where every boss fight with summons was just 3 dudes circling the edge of the arena chucking lightning non-stop. The nerf was officially supposed to increase the damage per cast while nuking the number of casts, but they got the numbers wrong somehow and just never fixed it.

loquacius posted:This feels like another of those points where this game hints that there is lore to know, but simply does not tell it to you. Who are these other Tarnished they want me to assassinate? Why do they want me to kill them? What is their end goal? Who, basically, are these motherfuckers? Don't think too hard about it. Just go out and kill a few beasts.

Guillermus posted:Whip (strike damage), morning star from a chest in Weeping Peninsula, Flail from Limgrave next where you get torrent... Morningstar is extremely good at filling multiple roles in the early game without asking much in stats. Among other things, it will completely destroy pumpkinheads between the stun and the bleed.

Harrow posted:For example (late game spoilers for any new players) as soon as I saw basilisks jump out of the Lake of Rot I couldn't stop laughing, it's like a perfect punchline. It's a bit of a repeat of the same joke from DS3; I burst out laughing when I first heard that distinctive sound in the poison swamp part of the Keep.

Angry Diplomat posted:No I agree with you, Borealis is just straight up sort of a horseshit fight. He's far from unbeatable, but his fight is not nearly as cool as it should be, precisely because it often arbitrarily punishes you in really frustrating ways that have no apparent relationship to your decisions or skill. I just parked Latenna on the nearby ridge and kited the dragon by riding Torrent in figure 8 in front of him while Latenna did all the actual damage.

feelix posted:I'm really not, apparently. Do you have any comparable examples? I like Frazetta's art, but that does not seem like his style at all. It's not exactly the same, but Death Dealer 6 strikes some similar notes (without the gigantism/dead horse). And you can't really call Death Dealer "conventionally attractive" when he doesn't exactly have a face.

Still couldn't get any summons for Malenia, but I ended up brute-forcing it through the power of a Mimic Tear dual wielding greathammers, one of them being a Great Stars with Prelate's Charge so the mimic would occasionally heal itself.

khwarezm posted:Also he constantly, pointlessly refreshes his Carian Phalanx despite his previous instance of the attack not being used instead of doing an actual useful attack, which struck me as a pretty noticeable hole in his AI. Rogier (Twitch mod ver.) does something similar, although his does have a powerful followup thrust.

There's a breakable statue in the Stormveil courtyard with an Omen right by it, but the Omen can't actually break it. You'd have to fight through a bunch of barrel-throwing birds to reach a giant, then kite him back to the statue to break it for 5x SS(1) and 1x SS(2). I really don't think it's worth the effort.

If you're going to kill Greyroll, don't forget to pick up the gold scarab and a gold chicken leg for max soul gain. If you do it early you can easily get a dozen or more levels' worth of souls.

Jay Rust posted:especially the crystalmen. Crystalians are as vulnerable to standard damage as they are to strike, they just resist everything except those two a bunch. The big advantage of strike weapons against them is that strike weapons usually also deal a ton of poise damage and poise-breaking the crystalians is how you make their resistances go away (and probably into the negatives).

To combine the subjects, Misericorde is a fairly light weapon that you can equip in addition to your primary weapon, on which you can put an Ash of War that covers an elemental or strategic gap in your spell selection, and also use for big ripostes. Flame of the Redmanes is highly recommended once you find it (and is good at setting up poise breaks to riposte), but you can also look for something that does crowd control. Ashes scale in damage with the upgrade level of the weapon as well as the stat their element is associated with, and their FP usage is usually rather low. Sacred Blade is another highly useful if situational ash that can be found very early, which will trivialize anything having to do with skeletons or other things that Live In Death.

Earwicker posted:yeah, the mimic is just as good as most rando co-op people in my experience, but i still summon because i enjoy the variety Mimic is probably better than most humans, since it can face-tank massive amounts of damage rather than just dying to one badly judged attack, it doesn't inflate the boss's stats, and its strategy is coordinated with yours. I'm shameless about using spirit ashes. Try the greatshield crew against Godfrey's golden ghost some time, they completely lock him down.

Epic High Five posted:I think there's some puzzle with the lights that you're supposed to do to avoid them, which is why it's so much funnier that absolutely everybody just employs the "hit da bricks" strategy which they've absolutely learned by now if they've gotten to that point It's amazing how much of the game can be bypassed by hopping on Torrent and knowing where to go. Everything pre-Leyndell other than entry into Leyndell itself, Ainsel River Main (+LoR), and Deeproot Depths can be pulled off without even fighting.

Phenotype posted:Hey, what's the lore reason for those Cuckoo knights hanging out in the Frenzied Flame village? I remember being startled when they noticed me and started blasting flames out of their eyes at me. Probably a subjugation squad who went mad either from exposure to the flame or from falling into despair from seeing some truly heinous poo poo.
