Nat, Benjamins are $100 bills, which have Benjamin Franklin on them.Gnoman posted:So, funny thing. When I played this, I never realized that you could get a free heal from Mina. So I ran around the zombie corridor with the Persephone soul to heal instead. I just always went to that first save point closest to the entrance. I forget how long it took me to realize the free heal but I had forgotten until I saw Nat do it.

C-Euro posted:IMO Nat is underleveled for this part of the game, but maybe that's about to be solved! I tend to agree - I started a replay after inspiration from the thread and ended up a few levels ahead of Nat by where the video series ends.

Simply Simon posted:I think Nat is doing what's best for LP pacing - he pushes on without repeating content, he just cuts out long walks back if it's boring, and it's more exciting to think "oh drat he hasn't saved in ages and is out of potions noooo". But that's where the discrepancy to casual play comes in, I think. One other thing I realized and took away for my current play through was to actually use potions…they are just $200 to hammer after all. Too much giant robotic crab syndrome I guess, and it’s a shame because clearly I knew the bosses were signaled…

Shitenshi posted:The other fast little fucker? People here who've played this game know exactly who I'm talking about. IIRC this one wrecked me until I switched weapons for maximum range in a melee weapon.

Marluxia posted:Re levels, it does up your damage and one less hit that you need to make against Death is one less chance to screw up and it reduces the time you spend in each phase. Levels also up your defense and one more hit you can take is one more chance you have to screw up without losing.

Shitenshi posted:There are only a few offensive souls that are better than the Nightmare, and even then with it's cheap MP cost, power, and range, it's still a contender for endgame. I ended up using the one the game strongly encourages you to use out of inertia. Flame Demon

No, but did you or Tea ever figure out why you were taking more damage sometimes in the spike room? You take double damage from everything while you’re petrified in most Castlevanias including Aria.

Commander Keene posted:The Cutall (or another multi-hit weapon) does actually make the wrecking ball bit easier (or at least less tedious) though, because both hits add to the momentum of the ball. …so does jumping so you can push it twice as fast by hitting it on both swings.

Shitenshi posted:I know there's a certain boss fight mechanic in Dawn that was polarizing to some, but once you got used to it, it wasn't a big deal, the sheer inconvenience of it besides. Still, if Nat ever does tackle that game, I could easily see it making him want to ragequit. Yeah that mechanic is terrible.

Explopyro posted:Claiomh Solais is completely busted, for most of the reasons you've outlined, but also because it has Holy element on it so it hits weakness damage on nearly everything. The exception, of course, is Julius and we’ll see him real soon.

Explopyro posted:Julius resists holy, so this is the one fight where Claimh Solais is a bad idea; Kaladbolg is generally considered the best weapon to use against him. I like Balmung for its obscene range in this fight.
