NIGHT REPORT:

o 40 Tries against the Magma Wyrm to get the Moonveil and I've only halved it's health once. I farmed the Mother Dragon beforehand and hosed up my levelling so that my damage is still base level with an Uchikatana. What should I do?

I just beat him: stick close and to his front-left; jump attack at his head

Can anybody confirm if the jawbone axe deals strike damage? I need myself a strike weapon. The item description explicitly says it deals strike damage and it sounds like a strike weapon when swung, but it’s labeled a “standard” axe and I don’t want to get burned wasting smithing stones.

Having a ton of fun on ng+ converting my str/faith buffer into a hybrid bleed build with the chain link flail and bloodflame blade. Game owns, no notes.

I finally beat elden ring. In some ways, this game is amazing to me. They really made dark souls feel open world. There's so much to do and each area feels like it has a good amount of detail. Ranni's side quest was my favorite part, which is a shame that the others were you typical dark souls affair. I also don't know how to feel about the bosses overall. They feel a bit much at times. The elden beast is a weird boss to end things on and the ending felt very :effort:

The real Elden Ring starts now!

In any other Souls game, if you're being chased by a mob of human sizes enemies they're almost certainly doing to be put into hitstun by a straight sword R1 and the player will have a viable aggressive option managing the encounter getting in staggers weaving between attacks. In DS2 from the midgame onwards they're almost certainly going to take ultra heavy weapon to stagger and if the player isn't built for one their only melee option is going to be 'run away and try and sneak in hits between overlapping attacks', it's absolutely horrid and the people defending it are perverts

I would recommend that you do not aggro an entire mob of enemies when playing Fromsoft’s masterpiece, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

Big shout out for reminding me to play SotFS again. Beating the pursuer first try is always a blast.

Playing through DS2 again and this game has incredible vibes. Basically infinite builds. Slow and steady combat. Just chilling in drangleic.

It is unquestionably the Fromsoft game I have played the most and enjoyed the most.

Is there a known bug with Ranni’s quest or am I just missing something? I gave her the finger slayer blade and exhausted her dialogue, but she never gave me the inverted statue.

Also does anyone else make up elaborate backstories while they play? My priest i decided was on his way to boletaria to cleanse the fog when he "fell asleep" and woke up in the lands between. Theres some confusion as to why his miracles work with false idols but he got too much faith in The God(sic) for that to stop him from slinging lightning bolts

I love elaborate theme characters. My first and favorite was a blind strength/faith build named Samson who wielded a Jawbone Axe.

One of my favorite playthroughs in all Souls likes was a dual bonefist run in DS2. I think that is the only moveset that ever let the player character do kungfu.

I’m about 2/3rds of the way through on a bow run (shamefully stuck on Morgott). I’m having an ok time with it so far. A bit repetitive, but it’s interesting to see how certain bosses/encounters are different with a bow.

Is anyone aware of a better thin beast bone farming spot than the north church in weeping peninsula?

Playing on a controller with backpads feels like cheating. It’s honestly so nice.
