Does anyone know how to give the Petrification Disease cure to Antonia? I got it from Giangio and I have the key item in my inventory but when I talk to Antonia she only has her usual dialog options.

The Moon Monster posted:Anyone else stuck on the puppet king? The fight makes me feel like I still haven't really figured out perfect blocks in this game like I have in Sekiro or Revengeance. Most fights end up being wars of attrition and that just doesn't really work on this guy. Or maybe my advance based build sucks, idk. If you're having trouble with the second phase if you hit him hard enough when he tries to light his scythe on fire, he'll stagger out of the animation and not do his methed out fire flight

I just met the Puppet King for the first time and this is the second occasion that I've been like "how is this not an endboss???" This game kicks so much rear end. Also the Black Rabbit Brotherhood fight is the most interesting and fun iteration of a "gank squad" boss I have ever seen.

For those of y'all going with a strength build, what weapon builds are working well for you? I've stuck with Booster Glaive + Police Baton handle which was working well for quite a while, but it's starting to be less effective against later enemies. The attack speed is not that great and the reach is low. I've switched the handle to the Bone-Cutting handle and my brief testing of it seems promising. I like that the ability lets you poise through enemy attacks, which the Police Baton lacks.

Anyone got tips for a friend?quote:Finally starting to play "Lies of P"~ My first time playing a Dark Souls style game aaaaaand I hate it. Don't get me wrong, I love the storyline and the aesthetics! The game itself is gorgeous and most of the fighting is fine but I can't even make it past the 1st boss. I've been playing for 4 hours. I've maxed out all the levels I can at this point in the game, practiced fighting lesser enemies, upgraded all my equipment as much as possible and, honestly, it's sucking all the fun out of the game to still die again and again and again and again and again and again and again.... I really hope I didn't waste my money on a game I can't loving play....

From what I'm seeing, the stats show that it scales better with Motivity though. Am I missing something? At its current level Motivity is a B while Technique is a D. e: oh, just noticed you said handle. I'm using the Booster Glaive blade + Police Baton/Bone-Cutting handle.

Yikes, Black Rabbit Brotherhood in Chapter 5 is definitely giving me more trouble than any other boss so far. I feel like I'm pretty decent at perfect-blocking the big sword swings, but pretty decent is still letting a lot through and once things start getting more chaotic my rhythm gets thrown. I'll try again in the morning since after sleeping on it and complaining on the internet I'll probably nail the fight.

Oh I misread. Well from what I've seen (not an expert on the strength end of things), the police baton is more of a quick attack weapon. Good if you're not confident finding windows to do big hits. I've been using booster glaive handle + bonecutting saw blade and it's a fantastic heavy weapon for a dex build. Hits like an absolute truck with good reach and good fable attacks, the one real downside being that it breaks really quickly so I need to actually remember to mid-combat repair more often.

Scrapped Watchman is there to teach you to love the perfect block. King's Flame is there to teach you that sometimes, it's easier to just get out of the way.

I'll try again in the morning since after sleeping on it and complaining on the internet I'll probably nail the fight. So, the trick with them is pretty simple. Every time you wear down a quarter of the Eldest's health, one of his siblings will join. They don't do much damage or have much health, but if all of them join it can be quite chaotic. But each one will retreat and never rejoin if you beat them up enough. So, as soon as the Eldest loses a quarter of his health, run to the other end of the arena and deal with the sibling. The siblings are fast and will follow you quickly, but The Eldest moves really slow and his only distance covering move has a huge windup. So, just deal with the sibling 1-on-1 unless you see the Eldest do the windup. When he does, dodge, then run to the other end of the arena and repeat. If you do that, you won't ever have to focus on more than one enemy at a time.

Cosign, this sort of thing works for me when I feel like I'm hitting a wall on a boss in any game. Spending a few runs on defense and observation always pays off.

even with max sharpening DLSS is way too blurry for me luckily the game is very well optimized and runs at high FPS on "best" settings @ 1440p on a 3080 without scaling. Whatever AA the game uses looks nice. I really dislike blurry AA and often favour some aliasing (coincidentally from games often turn it off). Quality DLSS usually looks better than native TAA so I appreciate whatever they are using here.

Currently stuck on PK, he keeps being a bitch and jumping across the arena, then smacks me with a multihit attack from his noodly arms when I try to close. I can burn him down eventually but then I've got little or no heals for 2nd phase. I even let it sit a day before trying again and nope, still can't get the timing right.

My trick to the bunnies was to not attack, but just parry the main dude until his sword breaks. Then he becomes a much lesser threat and it's much easier to handle the other 2-on-1 fight. Does not work on King of Puppets though, his arms are not breakable as far as I've managed to test. And I really regret not using my upgrades on dodge moves now...

How to tell if something can be broken: Does it flash white when you perfect guard? If so, it can be broken.

SubponticatePoster posted:I just ignored them and wailed on the main guy. I tried taking out one add at a time but it only made the fight drag on. Once I said gently caress it and hammered the big boi it went pretty quickly. Sure, you only need to deplete his health bar. But the guy said he was having trouble maintaining focus with the adds, so taking them down would probably be easier in their case. Taking them out didn't really make the fight go much longer. The younger siblings are all pretty weak and susceptible to both stagger and backstabs, so it's a few extra seconds.

Have you been upgrading weapons and making sure they scale with your main damage stat? I think my main weapon was at +6 by then.

It was more of an issue of positioning them so I could see both at the same time to avoid getting surprise attacked, and then trying to get hits in without getting staggered by their fast attacks. Think my weapon was the default medium starting weapon upgraded to +5

Then he becomes a much lesser threat and it's much easier to handle the other 2-on-1 fight. Thanks for this; I managed to get into a pretty good groove of being able to break the weapon before continuing the fight, but unfortunately would usually take enough damage with mistimed blocks in the process to make things unmanageable even after that. But the solution was staring me in the face up the ladder from the save point: just smash him to half health and then throw thermite in his face until he dies before the other bunnies can even react.

Martman posted:Apparently the boss of Chapter 4, Archbishop Andreus, is becoming That Boss for a lot of people, aka the first significant wall that breaks people's will and causes them to go on pissed off internet rants. I thought it was awesome honestly. Took me like 10-15 tries but there was almost always significant progress, he looks cool and freaky, and I liked the way it seemed built to interact in interesting ways with the Specter helper. Yeah that fight wasn't terribly easy. I leaned heavily on the flamethrower Legion arm and the Salamander dagger. Set his loving creepy rear end on fire, then smack him around for bonus fire damage. Still took me a lot of attempts. Centusin posted:I have a weird issue where I get murdered by elites over and over but then do alright with the bosses Honestly the elites in this game are rougher than most bosses.

I think the least gruesome elites I've encountered are the big flaming shovel guys in the factory. You can dodge or run away from most of their attacks fairly easily. I've got to the Black Rabbits' territory, and there's a big ogre-type enemy with two slime-throwers up on the rooftops. Even if you run past the big dude to take out the snipers before engaging him properly, that seems like a particularly mean setup.

Incidentally, pro tip for anyone who wants to take on the huge optional boss in the factory - you don't have to take constant poison damage while doing so. Late in the level, there's a lever at the end of a set of large red pipes that's guarded by a flame-shoveller. It drains the poison swamps, making the Construct of the Future boss vastly easier.
