haha yeah

jaunty solar
#

I haven't gotten to it yet

#

But I know where it is

paper badge
#

well there's a talisman now that makes bows cracked out I guess?

#

found an Ash of War that lets u be ||Zenitsu from demon slayer||

umbral portal
#

||Messmer|| was a fun boss fight, if hard

mellow silo
#

Hippo pains

#

Why must every boss hit like a goddamn truck

glossy delta
#

At least it has low HP

mellow silo
#

Does it have a weakness?

twilit path
#

Ok, since people are now deep in the mix... Is there any way to get martial arts before beating ||ms. Chilli rellana|| ?

#

(I haven't even attempted any boss more than once so far)

jaunty solar
#

Okay so here's how I think it works

#

||If you pick the stone sword up from the fog catacombs, you bring it to the second altar and it becomes the darkness sword||

#

||If you pick it up at the second altar, and bring it to the catacombs, it becomes the light sword||

#

I have a person doing what I did in reverse

#

So I'll know for sure soon

glossy delta
umbral portal
#

Do we know what the Land of Shadow is? Is it like another dimension, another continent/area/whatever, etc?

#

I read it as the latter but I could be very wrong

glossy delta
#

I believe its ||another region of the world||
||Its said a lot that the soldiers there are on crusade to distant lands, spreading the erdtree faith to places where the erdtree is not physically present||

umbral portal
#

Or a weird fusion if both

#

Yeah

jaunty solar
#

The mystery deepens

umbral portal
#

Shadows of the Erdtree, aka "Marika is an imperialist asshole"

#

Add it to the list I guess

jaunty solar
#

My friend got to the altar I found first, and it's offering him the same thing I found

#

Either there's an altar we haven't found yet

#

Or there is no light sword

umbral portal
#

I have the Light Sword

jaunty solar
#

you do?

#

how?

glossy delta
#

Also
I just reached ||Specimen Storage||
The plot thickens
||theres a load of things that look like regal ancestors but with omen horns||
||And Ansbach is there saying that Miquella|| ||GANKED MOHGS BODY AFTER WE KILLED HIM||
||Just stole the damn thing???????||

umbral portal
#

Went to the Altar in Rauh and used the stone sqord

jaunty solar
#

Wait

#

The one behind the ||furnace giant?||

umbral portal
#

Nope

#

||invisible bridge, near the Rot area||

jaunty solar
#

Can you show me the map?

umbral portal
#

I cannot as I'm not currently playing sadly

#

But it's near the ||Rot Boss, take an elevator down and explore||

umbral portal
#

Also (somewhat big spoilers) ||Supposedly, Messmer may be Melina's sibling||

glossy delta
#

Somewhat big spoiler for what
Is it something I would have seen by now

umbral portal
#

Just vague lore atuff

#

Probably not though

jaunty solar
#

Someone here asked about uh

#

Using godfrey and alexander's talisman on the dryleaf arts

#

2250 with just alexander vs 2580 with both

#

Tested on one of those evergaol worms

twilit path
#

Has anyone tried the dlc on the steamdeck?

mellow silo
#

Anyone on PC who's willing to help out with the Hippo?

jaunty solar
#

I can give you some practical advice on it

mellow silo
#

Not having fun fighting this dude

jaunty solar
#

It's weak to cold and magic

#

And it deals only physical damage

#

So if you have Yosh, the shielddrake talisman, and some cold grease

#

I managed to melt him pretty quick

umbral portal
#

I'm bad with numbers

jaunty solar
#

I mean

#

I'm not like stacking a bunch of buffs

#

but that feels like you could get easily 12k damage in one hit with the shenanigans I know about

paper badge
#

||there's a smaller dungeon called the Fortress of Reprimand that I think you can get into the back end of through unsealing a spiritspring down in the poison swamp-y area near poison seller boi???||

#

||and I think you'd be able to ride over to the martial arts man from there if you can get out of the fort??||

twilit path
#

Ok, gotcha. I'll poke around there then and see what I can do. I just want to punch Every Boss if possible haha

#

Thank you for info!

frail ferry
#

wait is this a fucking redux of the lands between

mellow silo
#

Literally no summon signs are showing up for hippo

#

The few that do, I can't even summon

paper badge
#

(spoilered)

#

the circled bit is ||about where the spiritsprings should be to get up to the fort||

frail ferry
#

god is like someone rolled ||mt gelmir and dragonsbarrow into one||

paper badge
#

||the jagged peak is in a position where it would be right by dragonbarrow||

frail ferry
#

and also in order

mellow silo
#

This boss is a joke, I'm doing something else

paper badge
#

||Scadu Altus would be like, a southern part of the altus plateau||

frail ferry
#

||storm -> magic -> plateu -> big fuck off volcano||

twilit path
# paper badge

Oh ok, I think I was near there when i was on the ||cerulean coast|| thank you again!

frail ferry
#

oh god has anyone found the boltdrake +3 yet

#

theres a lightning boss in water

#

and it sucks

kind garden
#

Main boss spoilers: ||Lion defeated||

#

that fight was hype as hell

mellow silo
#

I can't find the way

glossy delta
#

Also
Nearly finished with ||specimen storehouse||
||I sense a schism forming in the Miquella Maniacs 👁️||
||On one hand, Ahnsbach is cool as hell||
||On the other, 'mohg deserved better' lmao?||

mellow silo
#

Back to the pain hippo

twilit path
# mellow silo How did you even get there?

It was, I THINK, || beneath the great bridge and south in the canyon, but frankly I don't remember the details past that heh. The canyon walls were pretty mazelike!||

That's all

#

damn this dragon

mellow silo
#

Why are there 50 billion red pests in one specific area

#

It's so infuriating, they keep sniping me and there's nothing I can do

stone cove
#

Snipe em back!

glossy delta
#

I switched back to Arcane for ||Messmer||
Dynast's Finesse is REALLY good for this fight
Honestly making me a little foggy-eyed, Bloody Helice is like an old friend

#

Went through most of my first save with it

frail ferry
#

man ||jagged peak|| is so fucking metal

#

just everything there

#

i think im gonna have to pull my dragon build back out next

glossy delta
#

😰

#

I'm really liking this boss though, even as I am stuck on em
Not like a lot of ||humanoid bosses, he's got a lot of fairly clear openings and big attacks to work with||

stone cove
#

Holy shit, two-handed talisman

#

just a fucking 15% buff to your light and heavy attacks if you're twohanding a weapon

#

Powerstancers in shambles

glossy delta
stone cove
#

It dosent work with anything that's Paired - so no fists, power stancing, etc

umbral portal
#

||Like it can oneshot you||

umbral portal
#

I'm very interested

glossy delta
#

(Boss spoilers) ||BASE SERPENT MESSMER DEFEATED||
||What a fun fight, felt like a proper duel with bloody helice||

umbral portal
#

Regardless ||supposedly Radahn is brutal, I'm afraid||

#

Yeah it's a fun fight

#

His weapon also fucks

glossy delta
#

Also (post boss lore item spoilers) ||yeah he's Melina's big bro||
||'a vision of fire'||

umbral portal
#

||Yep, I think I talked about that earlier? Though it was spoilered so you may not have seen it||

frail ferry
#

is there anything past the lion fight

#

or is that the end of the area

umbral portal
#

Yesnt

#

Gotta progress the plot first

mellow silo
#

Does anyone know about a purple ST Trina area? Found a shade who implies something like that exists, and I wanna know more

glossy delta
frail ferry
#

||the sewer one?||

glossy delta
umbral portal
#

||no the dark brambles||

mellow silo
#

No idea lol, all I have is that

  • it's purple
  • accessed via coffin boat
  • sleepy
umbral portal
#

what was that

frail ferry
umbral portal
#

:^)

mellow silo
#

Oh got to cerulean coast

#

Long trip

#

O fuck

mellow silo
#

Sleep pot chucking giant

stone cove
#

also @umbral portal check the temple town ruins

umbral portal
#

yep, checke dthe wiki

glossy delta
mellow silo
#

Location|| I found the Purble, it's an underground area under cerulean coast||

#

||god sleep enemies||

#

Major Miquella spoiler ||I found the cross where Miquella gave away his love||

#

||that ain't good||

#

||also apparently yes, St Trina is another half of Miquella||

glossy delta
#

I'm excited to explore the sleep area myself
Not clicking that but
St Trina has always been a fascinating angle of the ER lore for me

mellow silo
#

Do you want me to point you in the right direction to find it?

glossy delta
#

I know its in the south
And I think you can only access the south through that big valley
But I have found a route into the big valley

frail ferry
mellow silo
#

General direction to sleep area||yeah, it's through the big valley. At the end of that valley, next to the fire golem, there is a passage to Cerulean Coast. In the furthest south peninsula of the coast, there's a hole which leads to the area||

#

I'll say this as well, pay attention to any crosses you find

frozen olive
#

so unfathomably fucking annoyed at the game constantly not recognizing buttons on my controller forcing me to restart the game

old brook
#

hwat

frozen olive
#

buttons just

#

stop registering at all

#

just now i had to restart cause my fucking normal attack button stopped working

#

sometimes it breaks so bad only the joysticks are recognized as inputs

real shadow
#

Do you have another controller to test this on?

mellow silo
#

Skeleton gank squads pain

serene gate
#

||rellana|| kicking my ass, i thought the ||lion|| was bad but this is something else

mellow silo
#

Yup, that's Rellana for ya

serene gate
#

honestly she feels on par with malenia with me

#

but not even as close to frustrating because she doesnt have a waterfowl-esque move

mellow silo
#

Oh dont worry she has a few other tricks in store

#

Not as bad as Waterfowl though

serene gate
#

dont tell me she has a secret third phase

mellow silo
#

Nope, just two phases

serene gate
#

i just think the worst part is that she doesnt stop attacking

#

2nd phase is just the "it's never my turn" phase

mellow silo
#

Have you tried summoning Leda?

serene gate
#

yeah, im on and off on summoning her

#

sometimes it just makes it too hard to get a hit in because rellana dashes around leda a lot

mellow silo
#

Speculation, minor location spoiler|| I wonder if there will be a ST TRINA boss at the bottom of this hole. I hope so, that would be awesome (and also probably infuriating with the sleep spam)||

#

||my guess is there's gonna be a coffin boat at the bottom that takes you to an arena, like how Astel is set up||

frail ferry
#

wait the deflecting hard tear

#

it just makes you sekiro parry

junior spade
#

Nonspecific spoilers: wow, every new weapon has felt amazing

mellow silo
#

Uhh. Found something ridiculously ominous in this hole [ST TRINA]
||I found a grace, a summon pool, and about 20 normal wildlife animals, all completely still and laying down. Normal wildlife animals, deep deep in a cave. And asleep. ST TRINA's whole thing is sleep. Oh dear||

vestal night
#

man, I feel like everything kills me so quickly in the DLC
poked into Belurat a little, and decided to leave for now after one of the basic cleaver guys two shot me

glossy delta
#

Yeah its very much
Dont get hit, the DLC

mellow silo
#

Ominous stairs...

umbral portal
#

I do like how the DLC continues the idea of ||Radahn being the OG.||

mellow silo
#

Oh. Alright. Boss time

junior spade
#

my heavy armor set seems to be doing fine but you do need to be liberal with healing

#

also those scadutree blessings REALLY add up

umbral portal
#

They do

#

They're very necessary

vivid spire
#

I keep thinking

#

Once I level vigor at 150 I’ll be fine

mellow silo
#

Detailed account
||There was a set of stairs, leading seemingly nowhere, and a shade at the top of the stairs. The shade was talking about finding the courage to fly to see ST Trina. I saw a message saying time for jumping. Having no runes at all, I decided to jump. I fell for a ridiculous distance, and landed in a plain of purple flowers, only to be immediately attacking by a monstrous white knight thingy||

#

I feel fear once more

vivid spire
#

I can’t get any of the new incants yet

umbral portal
#

Also anyone else fight ||Messmer yet? I'm curious about opinions on him||

mellow silo
#

||Ok this is like the most horrific looking boss I've seen in a while||

frail ferry
#

...that hippo was really easy to poise break

vivid spire
umbral portal
vivid spire
#

I am afraid despite not clicking on it

frail ferry
#

OH HELL YEAH I CAN BREAK IT DOWN

umbral portal
#

Breaking it down

#

Go white boy go

frail ferry
#

now i just need a good weapon that can fit the ||wing crucible|| weapon art

#

oh wtf

#

||golden vow|| in a can

mellow silo
#

Ok so this dude is riding half of a horse

frail ferry
#

the ||smithscript spear|| will do for now

junior spade
mellow silo
#

Oh that was an earlier post don't worry

junior spade
#

unrelated spoiler ||also huge props to the dlc for putting graces right before bosses now, really helps a lot||

mellow silo
frail ferry
#

hey has anyone found a crucible seal yet

mellow silo
#

I can't even summon mimic, life is over

#

And of course summon signs just don't exist there

#

Although that's a problem pretty much everywhere

#

Very few summons show up, and you can't even summon 90 percent of the ones which do

#

Might have to wait a few days for summon signs to populate

junior spade
#

lmaooo yeah im def gunna go explore elsewhere before coming back to this one

mellow silo
#

Are you on PC?

junior spade
#

I am

mellow silo
#

I can help if you want

#

Although I'm not that good at the boss yet lol

junior spade
#

lmao yeah all thatll happen now is we'll double its hp and die faster LOL but! if i get close to beating it / feel better about its patterns ill @ you

mellow silo
#

That horse charge attack is SCARY

vivid spire
#

What’s the first inacantations yall have found

#

And what level are yall with grinding

mellow silo
#

None yet, 156

vivid spire
#

Oh

mellow silo
#

Oh wait no I did find one

vivid spire
#

What’s your starting level

mellow silo
#

Multilayered Ring Of Light

mellow silo
#

Oh, two incantations, I also have Heal From Afar

frail ferry
#

aka the revenant long range defense system

mellow silo
#

Anti revenant laser

vivid spire
#

Are the incantations all fairly good

mellow silo
#

Haven't tried em

vivid spire
#

And where did you get the laser

frail ferry
#

the new crucible one i found seems like it would melt any big body

frail ferry
vivid spire
#

Spoilers?

frail ferry
#

no i just forgot

vivid spire
#

mellow silo
#

Same here lol. Picked it up off some perfumers, but no idea where

vivid spire
#

Damn

#

I guess I gotta use a guide

frail ferry
#

OH WAIT

#

HNAG ON

mellow silo
#

The other incantation I mentioned, I actually do remember where it is. It's just that it's very hard to get

vivid spire
#

I can kill with spite

#

It shouldn’t be that hard once I get my vigor to 60

mellow silo
#

||you get Multilayered Ring Of Light by killing a Leonine Misbegotten, in the Stone Coffin Fissure||

frail ferry
#

its on scadu plateau

vivid spire
#

I see

#

I don’t know where the fissure is

frail ferry
#

||to the east and along the cliff face to your right||

vivid spire
#

But I will find it

vivid spire
#

I can’t member where a lot of the crosses are

#

And I gotta fight my way to the coast then

mellow silo
#

Yeah that'll be a long journey to get the incantation

junior spade
#

ok i had a breakthrough

junior spade
vivid spire
#

From what I understand

mellow silo
#

So probably ridiculously weak to holy

vivid spire
#

Most things are weak to holy

mellow silo
#

Makes sense

vivid spire
#

I’m not used to my build doing that much damage

#

And it’s the only reason I’ve made it as far as I did with low vigor

#

Otherwise I die in two hits

atomic jetty
#

Minor boss in first area meme, lol, lmao

vivid spire
#

I nailed that guy with help easily

#

It got me overconfident t

junior spade
#

he def teaches you to go get your scadu upgrades

but i havent taken the reward drip off yet its so sexy

The NPC fights have been so funny
||I cheesed BGK with dragonkin halberd by backing up until he prepped crossbow then running into to do the ice swirl||
||Literally just hit Wing Stance R1 until Dryleaf Dane was dead||
||Then I admittedly fought Moonrithyll fairly normal||
Also its hilarious that (weapon spoilers) ||they introduced a weapon that is literally just the troll knight sword with an alternate weapon art||

||shit fucked me up, it has fucking hella elemental shit going on||

OK im dumb i unequiiped my sacred cuz i was like "boss done i can go back to bleed" LOL

Never seen that attack before

Oh??????

Pray tell

||it does insane damage and lots of poise damage, and if you have quick cast talisman you can chaincast stun people with it||

mellow silo
#

Ah

frozen olive
#

||i helped her in a fight||

mellow silo
#

||honestly I'm gonna kill Leda ASAP. Better to sacrifice the few than the many||

#

||also sick ass armor||

frozen olive
#

fuck yes

#

finally found a weapon i wanted

#

||Nanaya's Torch here i come||

#

||i just need more levels of int||

#

||man i'm so hype to face Midra, i wish i could talk about it more but i REALLY don't want to spoil anyone||

#

Frenzied burst is so fucking based

#

||ok i made it to Midra intensifeyes ||

mellow silo
#

Eying my larval tears rn

vivid spire
#

Hmmm

frozen olive
#

||Midra is surprisingly spry for someone with no spine||

vivid spire
#

I upped my vigor a bit more

mellow silo
#

Should probably find a way to hack in 999 tbh, just so I can stop worrying

old brook
#

I've stopped upping Vigor because people with 75 seem to be twoshot just as often as I am in the DLC

#

I've seen so little difference outside of like chaff enemies

mellow silo
#

Yeah, 60 is all you need

#

Anything beyond just isn't worth

old brook
#

i juuust got 40

mellow silo
#

PUMP
VIGOR

old brook
#

noh

jaunty solar
#

That was the COOLEST FIGHT I HAVE EVER DONE

#

I won't spoil any details other than DANE was the assist summon

frozen olive
#

||Midra got hands as expected||

jaunty solar
#

And I summoned my mimic tear

jaunty solar
#

And we all three wailed on the boss in hand to hand

#

And it got stance broken and we recreated this

jaunty solar
#

Sorry for the ping

mellow silo
#

Y'all are having fun while I'm stuck in hippo jail lmao

vivid spire
#

I keep getting two shot

#

Vigor is 56

mellow silo
#

And Rellana Jail

vivid spire
#

Haven’t found the hippo yet

frozen olive
#

vigor will not help you unfortunately

mellow silo
#

And Putrescent Knight Jail

vivid spire
#

Wait shit really

mellow silo
#

Triple Jailed

vivid spire
#

I thought it was just a vigor issue

#

Are the enemies just that hard

junior spade
#

they do hit that hard, yeah

frozen olive
#

yes

frail ferry
#

another || top half person bottom half bug|| has hit the souls community

frozen olive
#

they will fuck you up regardless

frozen olive
#

the rewards for me were unfortunately extremely lackluster

mellow silo
#

The only way to win is 99 vigor 99 endurance with the biggest armor possible

frail ferry
#

and then you get 4 shot

frozen olive
#

||i was hype for her incantation but it sucks ass||

#

fuck this boss is tough

mellow silo
#

Anyways back to state mandated hippo jail

jaunty solar
#

I've been doing a quality build this whole time

#

Basically all the loot has excluded me

frozen olive
#

i'm on str fai

jaunty solar
#

Except for Dane

#

He got me

frozen olive
#

i've not got much either

#

||though this is poised to change if i can beat Midra||

vivid spire
#

I want to help miquella

#

I have an obligation

frozen olive
#

i don't particularly

vivid spire
#

I may be stupid but

#

I feel like they’ve been through enough

frozen olive
#

i want to see what the fuck is going on

#

then fight Miquella

#

not that Miquella is bound to have a lot

jaunty solar
#

I have never seen a boss in any souls get truly, truly jumped

#

Until now

#

That was not a fight that was beating

frozen olive
#

ok

#

so that just

#

one-shot me

#

lovely

mellow silo
#

Unable To Summon Cooperator
That's the DLC motto

vivid spire
vivid spire
#

I thought it was just an Xbox issue

mellow silo
#

Nope, everyone issue

#

Extremely annoying

frozen olive
#

love backstepping to my death accidentally

#

good shit

mellow silo
#

That's mostly why Ive been asking y'all for help. Because I can't summon otherwise

tropic stream
#

I lowkey might grab Milady and experiment with a quality build

vivid spire
#

I will be rather honest t

#

I don’t like Mohg

#

And I was already rather biased because I love Malenia

#

So uh

frozen olive
#

like, morally or?

#

cause Mohg is like

vivid spire
#

Morally he seems

#

Ick

frozen olive
#

rather objectionable

jaunty solar
#

Anyone who has gotten past the part where you burn something, is there anything I should do first?

old brook
#

Mohg is abhorrent

#

Like a canon horrid man

vivid spire
#

Yeah so I’m always kinda biased to favor Miquella

frozen olive
#

he's trying to make a family with his younger brother it's not a good time

vivid spire
#

Marika is awful

frozen olive
#

Marika does suck absolute shit

#

this is true

vivid spire
#

I like Miquella out of all the demigods

#

Am I.. wrong

old brook
#

I'm still not sure how much of Marika is just Greater Will doing its thing

mellow silo
#

Miquella has his own issues tbh

frozen olive
#

i am extremely suspicious about Miquella

vivid spire
#

I hope he’s not what I fear he is

jaunty solar
#

I would buy Morgott an ice cream

frozen olive
#

actually

jaunty solar
#

He did not deserve all that

frozen olive
#

i now do have a reason to not like him

#

yay

vivid spire
#

Because I believe in the idea of the haligtree it’s very hopeful

frozen olive
#

i forgot about that

vivid spire
#

Equality for everyone

vivid spire
tropic stream
#

The haligtree is great

#

But as far as I understand it

frozen olive
#

unfortunately i am a heretic maniac i'm going to find Miquella and wring him for all his runes

tropic stream
#

Miquella can literally ontologically force people to love him?

mellow silo
#

Miq Spoiler ||among the things he sacrificed, his Love was among them. Miquella literally can't feel love anymore||

tropic stream
#

Which

#

eesh

frozen olive
#

(spoiler about Miquella) ||Miquella also divested himself of St.Trina which is cringe||

vivid spire
#

Wait I got the ||twin blades||

#

Is faith int like

#

Doable now

vivid spire
#

Idk I just

#

He seems hopeful

#

I can’t explain it really it’s all just a vague feeling

tropic stream
#

He does

frozen olive
#

||not anymore lmao||

vivid spire
#

I fight for something beyond myself but it’s not beyond my own empathy

tropic stream
vivid spire
#

Rather its motivated by my empathy

frozen olive
#

SoNaF my beloved

vivid spire
tropic stream
#

That's literally my current build lmao

vivid spire
#

Because golden rings are nyeh

tropic stream
#

Has nobody shown you the ghostflame sorceries?

vivid spire
#

I heard they were bad

#

I guess not

mellow silo
#

UNABLE TO SUMMON COOPERATOR

vivid spire
#

But anyways yeah

mellow silo
vivid spire
#

People say I have an unusual view of Elden Ring at times

#

And I view all media through a hopeful lens

#

I can’t really help it

#

It’s better than the alternative

tropic stream
# vivid spire I guess not

Rancorcall and Ancient Death Rancor are multiprojectile sorceries where the projectiles hit one at a time and stagger all but the highest poise enemies

junior spade
#

||damn all these Flame Knights have hands, those fireballs have insane tracking||

vivid spire
#

Oooh that’s cool

frozen olive
#

i just realized Miquella probably doesn't have any runes for me to rob

vivid spire
#

I’ll do some farming then

real shadow
#

||GOT'EM||
||BAYLE! YE SHALL HAUNT ME NO LONGER BECAUSE THIS DORKASS WITH A CRAGBLADE POISE BROKE YOU LIKE A BITCH||

tropic stream
#

All the projectiles stagger

#

Now

tropic stream
#

I will point out

#

The drawback is those projectiles are fucking sloooooooooow

vivid spire
#

But anyways yeah that’s my reasoning why I’m hopeful for the ending I know it’s not ideal and sketchy but yeah

tropic stream
#

But they shit out damage and stagger

frozen olive
vivid spire
#

and also I’m already playing a lightning faith build like the haligtree

frozen olive
#

"Carved words coalesce. 'I abandon here my reason to care about Miquella'"

vivid spire
#

So im doing well for myself

tropic stream
#

I mean no reason to change build then

vivid spire
#

I hope I don’t come away from this dlc a wreck

frozen olive
#

i'm a loot goblin

vivid spire
#

Plz no more fromsoft

frozen olive
#

also

#

i already serve Ranni

tropic stream
#

My build is basically a result of me wanting to branch out into using faith

frozen olive
#

so

vivid spire
#

I did that too it was very romantic

frozen olive
#

sucks to suck dearest Miquella i'm already employed

vivid spire
#

But my heart lies with the haligtree

frozen olive
#

and my employee benefits include slaughtering god

vivid spire
#

Free the world from the outer gods

tropic stream
#

and at that time I found Night & Flame and figured out the astrologers whole deal

vivid spire
#

And make a kinder one

frozen olive
#

i do not think Miquella can match this

vivid spire
#

I do

#

Ideological opponents

tropic stream
#

and was planning to S I M P R A N N I already

#

So I just

#

decided my character was going to emulate astrologer-warriors

vivid spire
#

I have the reason I fight now

frozen olive
#

well hot diggity damn

tropic stream
#

and thus, int/fth spellsword

frozen olive
#

that's

#

probably not good!

vivid spire
#

It’s to save everyone I can

frozen olive
#

my reason to fight is robbing the demigods of all their shit

vivid spire
#

That’s valid too

tropic stream
vivid spire
#

But I believe in the goodness of humanity

frozen olive
#

going absolutely insane

vivid spire
#

I play on Xbox lmao

mellow silo
frozen olive
#

i'm only slightly burned by the Frenzied Flame

tropic stream
#

My reason to fight is I also believe in the goodness of humanity, but also think the best way to let them do that is to make them figure shit out on their own

frozen olive
#

only a little bit

tropic stream
#

So I fuck off with Ranni

#

I lowkey think Ranni's is the most hopeful ending

#

No Golden Order

#

All beings given the right to self determination

frozen olive
#

so long as you don't do Dung Eater it can't get any worse i think

tropic stream
#

I

frozen olive
tropic stream
#

I think the default ending is worse than Dung Eater

frozen olive
#

he's fucking uhhh

#

Ever Brilliant

#

what a guy

mellow silo
#

Fia?

vivid spire
tropic stream
#

But I am a fucked up accelerationist in the video games I play

Hmmm

#

WOW

this is great

But I promised Malenia I’d find him

And I will.

||all of my suspicion about Miquella is kinda warranted||

tropic stream

||this ghost is telling me some FUNNY things||

He is undoubtedly second best, for sure

Ranni gets rid of the dogma entirely
