I will say that doing the Bed of Chaos boss run is definitely one of the more memorable experiences in Dark Souls to me.

I will also say that for the most part boss runs are tedious and create more frustration than challenge so Im not too sad to see them go.

I hope there's a poison swamp with a second, deeper toxic swamp inside it

I misread deeper as deer for a second and thought you meant the crazy reindeer from DS2s ice DLC.

Lets put some of those in the swamp too.

Sekiro's difficulty is aimed at a very specific set of character capabilities, which means (at the risk of stating a tautology) it's easier than Dark Souls if you're actually good at the game and harder if you're not.

imo they should have gone even further, made pretty much all the passive abilities baseline and make tools, weapon arts, etc. all unlock on a Zelda-like basis as you progress through the story. but it's a start

I did better in Sekiro than i did in any of the Souls games.

Does... does that mean Im good at Souls?

Tell me ulcerated tree spirit being crammed into a small room and clipping half of its body into the floor/walls is a good boss.

Brandfarlig posted:

Sounds like you're in need of getting better.

There's not that many of those in my experience. Fighting 2 of an early game boss is a good indicator of how much stronger you are.

Ulcerated owns btw.

Nothing wrong with ulcerated. There is something wrong with putting it in such a tiny room that it can clip out of bounds and kill itself. Id call that bad design.

Any opinions on what the best catalyst is for general maging? I know the carian ones boost either the various glintblade or various magic weapons (including gavel of haima and lorettas gbow?), but I tend to use a wide array of spells. Right now it seems like the demi-human one has the best sorc scaling without any downsides, but Ive heard good things about azurs/lusats staffs.

none of Ranni’s team can be killed before her quest is done. Seluvis and Iji just call you a schmuck and teleport away, and Blaidd rezzes himself and goes right back to chopping you up

the fact that Blaidd doesn’t come back after his final fight is one more piece of evidence that something went warped in him after Ranni left for good. can’t have a shadow with nothing to cast it, after all

Maybe thats why she has you kill the Baleful Shadow

i like the one i put in front of Renna that just says "mage, friend" :3:

Do the greatjar summons scale to your level? I did them on my first playthrough with a little difficulty but I went there on a new playthrough with a lower RL and they are basically oneshotting me while also having 2k hp.

~100(?) RL on my first while the second is at 70.

I'm still struggling with the catacomb boss that is 4 (6?) imps and the Watchdog just because that is just enough imps to interrupt the guard counter fairly regularly and from far enough away to get me killed.

Margit was easier.

Someone said earlier in the thread that crystal darts can build up frenzy in imps and watchdogs and cause them to turn on eachother.

Yeah I’m not sure why they went for “Naturalborn” in the boss/remembrance name but “Bastard” in the weapon. It’s the same word. The weapon name is just the amalgamation of the two names we see Astels go by:

Always found the link between Irina and Hyetta funny. They're identical models, they have much of the same dialogue, they're both blind. Hyetta won't show up to start begging for grapes until you've met Irina. I'd almost think this is another Margit/Morgott situation where one is projecting the other

I figure the same thing happens with her as it does with Yura, the Frenzied Flame takes the body.

I've been trying to do a Patches run, where I go kill Patches ASAP, get his gear to look just like him, level up to 30 and rush directly to volcano manor to get a recusant finger and do low-level invasions but I just found out I have to kill a Godskin fatty to get to the Volcano Manor entrance, which is locked when you come in from the Abductor shortcut.

Now I'm gonna have to gauntlet my way to the ruin precipice to go meet Rya at Altus Lift just so I can go get that finger. Wish me luck *squats*

Theres a speedrunner skip for the fatty, it involves jumping up the ledges to the left of the church
