I'm pretty sure they're weaker to spells than most weapons, but that really depends on your party comp and if you found good staves / seals

welp this run is omega cooked
bad start, executor fucked off for the entire run, just got hit with the omen spawn and he still refuses to help
mighty warren
What a disgusting executor
frozen olive
ok there is literally no way we can win this now
Omen got me cause Executor showed up at the last second when i was already downed
my main weapon is a grey scythe and i have no spellcasting implements
on Rev
genuinely astounded that we beat that ancient dragon
onto Adel i guess
bow rev for the win i guess, i've got rain of stars for chip damage scaling, no fp recovery and a dream

Just did our first run with friends, it was delightful 😌
frozen olive
it is fun
i'm having a horrendous time with this random

if i can cook like that for survivability tomorrow when my friends and i go for Gladius again tho we are going to be set

Banished boys are not too bad. But crucible can be pretty bad with no knockdown potential

had a very fucking funny time fighting banished and Crucible with Wylder, Revenant and Guardian on team, we kept just fucking piling on one and knocking it the fuck down
Wylder doing insane stance damage and me as Rev with my boy Sebastian on call slamming shit constantly
charred crane
Ya that little hop into the heavy attack is so god damn good

One of the Revs I played with last night who needed to go back to school nabbed the a Greatsword drop and I was in tears like "please little girl. I need that" 😭
frozen olive
😭
i actually kept a purple Prelates Inferno Crozier in my back pocket
and when my poor little Wylder was dying of "i have no fucking good weapons" i just threw it out and was like "I got you 😎 "
epic Revenant victory
i think it may have fucked us a bit
as it had uh
-12 to being noticed by enemies
which is the ENTIRE reason i had it
charred crane
Totally valid to hang onto as much shit as you can in case down the line a ally is unhappy with their kit
frozen olive
and he kept complaining about Gladius just fucking ripping it away from him the entire fight
i'm nore sure if he noticed
it was either that or an unupgraded Wylder sword so like
i cooked regardless
charred crane
No doubt
frozen olive
also i got fucking obliterated which is i think what actually cost us the run
Gladius did the slam dunk meme on me
like four times in a row
i got my comeuppance the expedition after when i got hard targeted by Adel the Night Baron for like 75% of the fight while playing Rev
charred crane

Didn't help I only found one poison weapon and it just farted out poison mist, which didn't seem to do fuck-all.
frozen olive
i've brought poison weapons to every fight with Adel except that last one
unfortunately i've been on uh, Recluse and Revenant
so that's not been massively helpful

I think the way to use poison against him is when he's powered up

the only legacy fight i've done is with Dukes Dear Freja
which was awful because it was the laggiest fight i've ever done
and for like, half of the fights i kept hitting it with stuff and nothing happened
and i ran out of FP halfway through as recluse and had to try to regen it

it at least WORKED in Elden Ring
i didn't always get the target i wanted, but i COULD at least swap targets

So Wending Grace is a vestige of the grace of gold that allows you temporary access to its power

It does add a certain thoughtfulness to grace

so to speak Could this be a friend?

That is cute
Imagining Wending Grace as small and simple spirits split off from the greater majestic spirit of the Erdtrees Grace of Gold, master of the tarnished and kingmaker
Wending Grace in comparison are small fleeting sprites, ephemeral and aloof
However, they are still of the grace of gold, and as such can hold fleeting but absolute dominion over even life itself
Will i do Grace of Gold and Wending Grace gijinka, perhaps
imagining the Grace of Gold much like Marika, though far more imperious
Perhaps it takes the attributes of its greatest champions, in which case it would look more like Godfrey
Imagining Wending Grace more like a Klabautermann from One Piece, non-descript, androgynous and childlike, smaller by far than true grace, bearing no remembrance of past champions, yet still sharing some similarities
I will draw this later if memory allows

Is heavy weapon revenant that good?
obtuse halo
I think it's pure meme
I mean, heavy weapons are good so it might be functional, but there's no reason revenant would be particularly good at it. Maybe the ones with heavier faith scaling
mighty warren
It is primarily cause a good few have faith scaling but there's an argument to be made that since your summons take aggro and you're overall more supportive that taking a colossal makes it when you do swing that it does a lot more
frozen olive
yeah that's honestly very fair
i remember one time me and my friends were doing banished knight gaol boss and i fought one of them solo with basically no gear thanks to summons
makes perfect sense to me that you would be well served using a big ass weapon as Rev with summons to pull aggro
mighty warren
Ye so it's a bit of both
it's a meme cause small character big weapon, but it's also just
unironically not the worst option
you don't have infinite FP like a recluse afterall, so can't just do pure incants
frozen olive
yeah i definitely made mostly use of melee and summons for fighting stuff
got a bit difficult when bosses came around
need to learn all the spots to get seals

I think alt weapon scaling has been totally chopped out for Nightreign by the by
Faith improves seals, str improves colossal weapons, there's no intermixing
Though I will say, since Revenant's physical stats scale equally there's no actual downside to using Colossal Weapons over most others, so its probably still a smart play if you are swinging sword as the ghost

She takes on the identity of her owner as a defence mechanism, but upon facing the memory of her fear she realizes that she was the doll from the beginning, accepts it, and the Remembrance skin is her not hiding who she is and uncorrupted by the memory of the night haunting her||

only half Nightreign, but given the ending + some of Recluse's quest, I've been thinking on some older thoughts I've had about Old Gods and 'ancient gods' in the main game's text
I always half suspected The Old Gods as a Proper Noun mentioned only once was a translation artifact - that all the 'ancient god' mentions in the base game were possibly referring to the same group, considering the japanese doesn't really make a distinction between the two
which is interesting, because two of the three 'ancient gods' mentioned in the base game relate to Rot and Frenzy (through the blue dancer charm and the fingerprint shield)
frozen olive
what is the third
proven cloak
now with Nightreign having ||a big tree-giant at the end representing the Night walking away from the Lands Between||, and ||the common fancanon of the Old Gods as the giant skulls you find around the place|| and ||Recluse's item being a stone that is the 'bone of an outer god', as if their bodies became rock..||. Makes you think

what is the third
Fell God
frozen olive
it would be Fell God

the japanese in all of those instances are the same
and its the same for the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword ||the whole name is so fun to say||
so I think the idea they're all the same group should at least be poked at
frozen olive
the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is such a funny item
proven cloak
its so Shaped
proven cloak
it would be Fell God
funny enough, this is imo the strongest evidence for the Fell God as actually being an Outer God
which idk if I stick to as a reading
but it is directly lumped into the same category of being that the Blue Dancer fought and sealed away
and there is something thematic to, like, ||the giant corpses giving up their lives to serve as the physical foundation of the land, and also the metaphysical foundation of the land - they become concepts like 'Fire' or 'Rot' or whatever (perhaps even by turning into runes with those properties?)||
but thats wildly speculative
I just can't believe they slipped another 'outer god' into the text and its still so vague whats even meant by that. they cant keep getting away with it.

\ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztsyTDzF9Zg We do have this Zullie video, which helps? At least for the +X stat relics
arctic geyser
it's good to know the basic stuff makes sense
EG weapon attack up > any stat
because if it wasn't why would you take the weapon up?
meanwhile stat is better for general adaptability
proven cloak
raw bonuses are also the most important for saving a few moments in those first clears
might be the difference between getting an extra reward night 1 or having to leave early

I have discovered a very good and guaranteed relic combo for Executor
Pest Relic and ice dragon Relic makes you start with a katana that can apply bleed, poison, and frost due to the skill
And the momentary concealment on frostbite means you can just go ham throwing all your stamina at the enemy
Very worth pushing to purple

Got an absolute dogshit run trying duchess on Gladius
Neither of my friends got gold items
However
vestal night
I have discovered a very good and guaranteed relic combo for Executor
Pest Relic...
ooh, very nice
frozen olive
I got a blade of calling and bought some fp shards
vestal night
are the boss relics all set buffs, and guaranteed to drop on kill?
frozen olive
So i took chunks out of its healthbar and we won even with a terrible setup
Really need to beat any of the other bosses now
Duchess was kinda fun
glossy delta
are the boss relics all set buffs, and guaranteed to drop on kill?
I believe so yes
I got all of them on first kill and have not gotten any special relics on repeats
arctic geyser
Yes they are
arctic geyser
I have discovered a very good and guaranteed relic combo for Executor
Pest Relic...
Yes this is the current bnb executor build
Executor's relic passives are so bad that it's generally not worth it to run them
vestal night
and then you just upgrade your starter?
arctic geyser
Rivers of blood only matters on bosses that can take easy bleed build up

Give me more shifting earth, I like it a lot as it keeps the map fresh
i still cant play lmao as my laptop cant run it well enough and i cant afford ps gold for online atm
but from all the streams i have watched, the one thing I think they need is like
take the existing shifting earth locations and altered terrain
then with the same altered terrain, make a few different versions with exisitng assets, mixed up even more
mountain city, volcano mountain, forest mountain, ruins mountain, mountain fortress
underground crater city, giant crater lake with tons of jump pads and islands shadow crater with a tornado at the bottom
frozen city, forested over ruined city, poison city rooftops where the streets are scarlet rot and you have to stick to the rooftops to be safe
or just patches of same ground but with even more mixed up normal assets and spawns,
they have a lot of stuff in the game and they have set alternate maps or ways to alter the map in set ways and really hope the dlc includes more of it, even without new assets
charred crane
i still cant play lmao as my laptop cant run it well enough and i cant afford ps...
Yo that last one is cooking crazy style. Miyazaki hire her now.
thin stratus
lmao thank you
ember isle
I'm sure they will cook up some cool stuff with incoming updates, if they want this to be something that exists for a while
ember isle
The deluxe edition upgrade mentioned new characters being added in the future
frozen olive
taking the damage type the boss is weak to us SO fucking good
we brought an ironeye with poison starting bow and upgraded it to purple and fucking stomped Adel
charred crane
A hardline mage, summoner/beast master, dex build, spell sword, john darksouls, brick wall, ungabunga, and ranger
Would something pure faith even be playable?
And ya boss weakness is huge. I have the catch fire relic on wylder for a reason
Tonight is the night I tackle the pests
charred crane
oh ya so whats the buff you get for going 3/3?
charred crane
Duchess is pretty fun
she's nutso
frozen olive
Hand of Malenia is still the only legendary weapon i've gotten
Once on Rev and once on Duchess
I did upgrade a weapon to Legendary in a run tho
glossy delta
Pure faith is quite possible but also largely Revenant's camp, summoning aside
frozen olive
Pretty worth it if you get a good day 1 i think
We got it done on day 2 and almost beat Adel, got hindered by not having enough poison really and not being so used to the boss
plush cliffBOT
Or recluse, they have the same faith stat iwrc
Namoeleon (ping me about D&D 4e) ↩️
frozen olive
Recluse is good for faith ye
charred crane
interesting
iirc er had a ton of dex/str + faith som maybe a variation on that
honestly I thought that'd be Guardian
but his faith is kinda mid
ember isle
Yeah recluse has both S in faith and int
Yeah guardian is a stamina HP tank
I use his faith to poke and gain aggro if the boss decides its not fun to hit my shield repeatedly
frozen olive
+3 vigor is goated btw
ember isle
Real
frozen olive
All my homies love +3 Vigor
ember isle
The damage with Guardian is with guard counters and the occasional faith aoe spell to make an ouchie zone around me while the big night lord wails on me
plush cliffBOT
Wonder how many +3 vigor relics we have, +9 vigor is basically +180 hp which seems useful on revenant and recluse
frozen olive
Mhm
plush cliffBOT
Or, well, anyone really
frozen olive
You gotta balance it with other useful stuff
I think i've gotten at most +6 so far
Using both Revenants relics on her but i might swap the one that gives hp on ult and the explosion
charred crane
the unkillable dodge tank wylder is an end goal of mine
frozen olive
Mostly cause i have vanishingly little hp to begin with
Giving my hp to the others is
Not good for survivability
Tbf it does proc after you become immortal so if you have estus and warming stone it's usually fine
plush cliffBOT
We wonder if they're gonna add that one ranged healing spell at some point, that would be fun with revenant
frozen olive
It would be
charred crane
more utility is always fun
frozen olive
Warming Stone and fp shards are the most goated shit ever tbh
arctic geyser
What's on the roster that we don't already have?
We're missing more Arcane
Executor is the only Arcane class atm
frozen olive
I never go into the boss with less than two of each if at all possible
plush cliffBOT
Main issue with playing revenant as a healer is that all heal spells are short range and uh
frozen olive
Yeaaaahhhh
plush cliffBOT
Well that puts revenant in the line of fire
arctic geyser
We're also missing dedicated support class
frozen olive
She is a bit, how you say, squishy
ember isle
Recluse is my dedicated support class because the blood marks are hella good for all people
plush cliffBOT
And also you can't tell randoms "hey I'm healing over here!"
frozen olive
Anyway absolutely generational win against Adel, none of us were downed even once
We genuinely just ripped him apart
charred crane
what does dedicated support look like in a game like this? /gen
ember isle
But guardian will be my dedicated support when I find the heal ult relic eventually
frozen olive
Poison bow Ironeye absolutely ripped him apart
ember isle
Being able to divebomb revive people onto a heal and invulnerable zone will be peak
charred crane
But guardian will be my dedicated support when I find the heal ult relic eventua...
thats how I'm playing
charred crane
guardian is my dog... bird. he's the best I loove that fella
ember isle
I'll dabble in raider when I get the chance to but I have more gearing for guardian right now
Being able to facetank a night lord attack into knocking them the fuck out is always a fun experience
arctic geyser
Executor by that logic is also support
Cause executor has infinite healing + roar heals
IMO it still under performs
plush cliffBOT
Infinite healing?
arctic geyser
Infinite healing?
Relic to give hp back on unlocking cursed sword + any passive to give hp on guarding because his parry has 0 stamina cost if used correctly
ember isle
Yeah but guardians whole stick is to pull aggro and tank hits for the crew while the rest dish out damage and clearing chaff.
Executor to me feels like the poise breaker beyblade damage guy, being self sufficient if possible
arctic geyser
It doesn’t stop status build up fwiw but nothing does really
charred crane
Relic to give hp back on unlocking cursed sword + any passive to give hp on guar...
woah holy shit
ember isle
Also the "lose HP when ulting to heal party" is pretty funny on revenant
arctic geyser
Yeah but guardians whole stick is to pull aggro and tank hits for the crew while...
I just did the build last night and it works but it's just as bad anything defense orientated in offense meta
Which is a shame
But also tbf
frozen olive
Relic to give hp back on unlocking cursed sword + any passive to give hp on guar...
I have that first relic, it seemed really good
arctic geyser
My build was not fully optimal
charred crane
it does feel funny being torn between doing status pokes on guardian and just double fisting a shield and holding on for dear life
arctic geyser
I'm missing hp on katana hits
ember isle
When fighting one guy, I find more value on having a halberd to time out the charged guard counter since it does solid poise damage
If you're fighting multiple dudes, you can get hit out of it sadly
arctic geyser
Executor can't as long as it's from the front
Only exception is like
Bell hunter knight drill but tbf Idk if it just glitches or what
ember isle
And running a status effect on your halberd can at least provide a little extra ompfh to your hit
arctic geyser
Considering I've been full parrying dragon breaths
Yeah that's the one thing executor doesn't get on cursed katana
ember isle
Plus increased attack with 3+ halberds equipped can help a bit more on that
arctic geyser
I have that first relic, it seemed really good
It's okay but not that great.
It has an issue of you only get the activation when you actually use it. And sometimes enemies attack like 10 times in a row so it makes the activation a huge gamble
arctic geyser
So you might get it on hit 5 having missed a parry but then it doesn't matter anymore past that cause you have to keep parrying else you get whapped
And enemy swings like 10 times
plush cliffBOT
Really wish you could infuse the Guardian's shield to have poison or something
Barclay ↩️
arctic geyser
Yeh that would be cool
Getting new passives that apply status on block
Cause then executor and guardian can have status buildup for tanking
As it stands tho for exec
Arguably just running boss relic bnb is better
charred crane
Really wish you could infuse the Guardian's shield to have poison or something
wait!
did I dream shield grease?
arctic geyser
Only exception are like
Ghosts or w/e
But even then you still have a higher damage output dual Wielding katanas over using cursed sword
ember isle
There's a damage reflect guardian relic I think right?
arctic geyser
Yus
It's what arguably makes him no longer the worst char
Cause then damage reflect makes him better in general compared to revenant who loses her summons in certain situations
charred crane
It's what arguably makes him no longer the worst char
it's a revelation. but not unexpected. something in my core told me this was the case.
arctic geyser
To be clear once boss fights at end of nights/day 3 happen hes more balanced
But anything to do with time limits makes defense strats so meh
Arguably also why Ironeye is one of the best
Cause bows mean infinite ranged dps
So any enemies in overworld that run around a lot are dying much quicker
Cause melee classes get whapped or have to spend time dodging
charred crane
that tracks
arctic geyser
Recluse I think has highest burst damage in most optimal conditions due to certain spells just monchin hp bars
That or duchess
Cause pocket watch
plush cliffBOT
Wonder what the worst classes are, maybe guardian and revenant? Though of course every one of the classes is good enough to beat the game with
ember isle
If you understand and manipulate the spell crafting recluse ability, you can adapt to a lot of situations from creating an invulnerable shield to raining hellfire to displacing people
arctic geyser
Guardian and revenant yeah
charred crane
tragic 
ember isle
Don't care, bird man will be my man
/s
arctic geyser
Guardian cause in offense meta, defense focus is always not that great, revenant cause relies on summons and they can't be full controlled
charred crane
no doubt this changes nothing
arctic geyser
Yeah to be clear
Play who you want
I'd put nobody below C tier
D tier would mean you actively would struggle with doing things instead of just being situationally useful
charred crane
oh lol thats where I placed wylder off rip as the all rounder
ember isle
You just need to work on aggro control with guardian and spec your relics out to take enough hits and if you have some competent damage dealers, you should be able to keep them alive
arctic geyser
Wylder is actually situationally strong
So his all rounded-ness kinda cycles back around to being above C tier for me
He's adaptable enough that almost any run you can do something with things you pickup
And that's ontop of his free "I'll take any 1 free hit" + movement speed for traversal + unique grapple mechanic on certain enemies
obtuse halo
Cause bows mean infinite ranged dps
...infinite? did nightreign nix ammo?
arctic geyser
Yup
obtuse halo
oh my god.
charred crane
lol
plush cliffBOT
They finally gave souls players a game where archers are good
ember isle
That and you can move faster while shooting and iron eye has a nice spread shot
obtuse halo
oh wow, ironeye gets Fan Shot?
plush cliffBOT
And not just good but really fun
charred crane
and melee stuff
obtuse halo
yeah okay instant 11/10 character
Bows were already fun once your brain was broken enough to accept the downsides
I had a great time with bow-only
charred crane
very powerful
arctic geyser
Bows also mean no "gawd damnit get back here"
obtuse halo
I maintain that Bows are actually more viable than you'd think in ER if you know what you're doing
ember isle
The range is not great but he's got some good movement and his iframe phase dash that comes really fast
obtuse halo
still definitely making things harder on yourself but some bosses were definitely easier than with other methods
plush cliffBOT
He has a charged r2 on all (non great) bows that shoot like three arrows at once, though you need to be pretty close to hit all of them
Definitely less damage per arrow but more total than r1s
PlainJane 🌈 ↩️
obtuse halo
Crucible Knight and Bell Bearing Hunter in particular were very easy on bow-only compared to my experience fighting them with casters or melee
ember isle
Good for when you want to hit a bunch of chaff in front of you
plush cliffBOT
We had a game where we fought augur with three ironeyes :3
Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️
obtuse halo
but the ammo limits were a total bane of my existence
arctic geyser
he also has C in STR
obtuse halo
forcing me to get creative for some of the later game bosses with a bigger health pool
so I could actually, like, kill them before running out
ember isle
Now you can be the bow person of your dreams with friends
arctic geyser
So you can totally just run up, dual jump attack great hammers or some shit, due goofy damage and swap back to bow
obtuse halo
so yeah removing that is an enormous deal
frozen olive
Sentient Pest is the coolest Nightlord i've seen so far
holy shit
the name does NOT do it justice
charred crane
Good for when you want to hit a bunch of chaff in front of you
prolonged guardian whirlwind be like
glossy delta
You'll like Ironeye
Bows are actually good in nightreign and Ironeye makes the most of them
plush cliffBOT
The one downside of infinite arrows is that you don't have status or elemental arrows
But that's fine because you can just get elemental bows instead
glossy delta
Or greased bows
ember isle
And grease which I assume you can apply to bows right or nah?
glossy delta
Yep!
plush cliffBOT
Oh yes you can!
ember isle
The game hands that stuff out like candy so
charred crane
and knowing now that grease and boluses work differently than how they do in the core game is something I wish I was expressly told
arctic geyser
Something something
Bolus gives permanent resist buff the first time you use them?
frozen olive
you can stack the bolus buffs
we had a fight with the big wormface and i got +9 deathblight res
thin stratus
Would something pure faith even be playable?
at worst they might have to add some extra weapons and equipment to the pool for a run with certain characters
I would like to see:
Pure Faith Cleric Caster Build with a team heal spell dependent on fp and no automatic regen
Ranged/Melee hybrid starting with a custom gun like a mini jar cannon on a stick, a historical Handgonne, reload is super long so also has a melee weapon
Bloodborneman whose passive gives rally/regain and who starts with a trick weapon
Dragonman, who comes pre-dragon-transformed but adds dragon stuff others can use to transform
Pugilist, who starts with cestus and has a grapple a-la houara loux
charred crane
dragon man is what I'm holding out for
and defo some more weapons, just a little extra variety
cinder jay
dragon man is what I'm holding out for
The son of Ancient Dragon-man?
charred crane
The son of Ancient Dragon-man?
that'd be something special
ngl that fella almost got me first time i ran into him
cinder jay
I still can't believe that they actually named a character that
ember isle
Wait wait wait bolus and gresce isn't a temporary use?
glossy delta
Wait wait wait bolus and gresce isn't a temporary use?
I've yet to personally confirm it, but the chatter has been that boluses give permanent status resistance as well as clearing the status
Greases are quite temporary afaik
ember isle
Looks like a lot of articles seem to also say the same thing for bolus
Permanent stacking ailment resistance for the run
I have learned something new
charred crane
ya grease is temporary but it feels longer
frozen olive
Sentient pest down
charred crane
lfg
shes unstoppable
what do you think of that fight?
I've heard polarizing takes
frozen olive
i thought Sentient Pest was fun
easily the coolest boss visually so far
prolly harder than Gladius but not harder than Adel
charred crane
I have those flipped for some reason. the dog is easy peasy, adel is a flippin nightmare regularly
frozen olive
Gladius is easy as pie
charred crane
pests is somewhere in the middle tho. and ya I just like bugs idk 😌
ember isle
I got cooked by the dog but I think it was me getting back into the soulsborne swing of things, but after I learned that the bird ult let's me become immortal for a bit, it went pretty fine
frozen olive
Adel is really hard, and Gnoster is somewhere under Adel in difficulty
charred crane
omg I just read it wrong my bad
glossy delta
For me the ranking probably goes like
||Gaping Jaw, Tricephalos, Augur, Night Aspect, Equilibrious Beast, Sentient Pest, Darkdrift Knight, Fissure In The Fog||
More testing required though
ember isle
Is this easiest to hardest
glossy delta
Gaping Jaw is at one end so guess
(Yes it's easy to hard)
charred crane
mmm mm m.
charred crane
interesting that adel is considered one of the easiest I must be missing something
frozen olive
same
ember isle
I haven't beaten jaw boy yet (I've been doing remembrance things)
frozen olive
Adel was tough
ember isle
Only doggurt
frozen olive
i did my remembrance before beating any boss except Gladius so i'm sort of good
charred crane
tuff because difficult or tough because jank is the real question
I'm lucky the jank isn't to much of a problem but fucker is tuff with two fs because of how tanky he is
ember isle
The last jaw fight was fine ish until he did his explosion and I went "OH NO MY PCCCC- oh ok I'm fine" which doesn't seem to be just a me thing looks like
frozen olive
two of my friends who have better hardware than me have been lagging a ton
ember isle
I have pretty good hardware too and was suprised but it sounds like a game issue
glossy delta
I do tend to get smacked around a bit but I've never died to him
His grab spam gimmick means you either get tons of art charge or tons of free time for the other two to wail on him
frozen olive
our ironeye just fucking poisoned him one million times so we just kept getting free damage
ember isle
I do tend to get smacked around a bit but I've never died to him
His grab spam g...
Me as guardian having to run after him because he decided to do a 180 and eat sand 100 meters away from me
charred crane
I do tend to get smacked around a bit but I've never died to him
His grab spam g...
lol as a Guard player thats all I can hope for. is that people are capitalizing on my inability to get the fuck outta the way of the grab
frozen olive
for Sentinet Pest we just had someone run interference for the moth and the other two just focues the other one
made the fight pretty interesting and not too hard
charred crane
ya that seems the way to do it
frozen olive
honestly i just threw blackflame fireballs and it and had Frederick help me kite
Augur looks like the least fun nightlord godsdamn
my friends are fighting it rn
vestal night
it's awful
constantly moving around
also if you don't pay attention to it for a moment it puts you all to sleep with big damage
charred crane
ya the moving is definitely a kind of hell whenever i've fought the invasion version of it
vestal night
you can deal some chip damage to it by killing the jellyfish and tentacles btw
plush cliffBOT
Augur is very much a fight where it pays to have an ironeye
frozen olive
i definitely want to bring an Ironeye
glossy delta
The trick with Augur that made it less of a pain for me is ||killing the jellyfish, tentacles, or bombs send respectively larger projectiles at augur||
||Which both nullifies the threat those moves ostensibly pose because you WANT to 'waste time killing them' and dampers the difficulty of reaching the boss||
frozen olive
good to know
i guess i'll just do that during the fight
Sebastian, kill those minions
proven cloak
For me the ranking probably goes like
||Gaping Jaw, Tricephalos, Augur, Night As...
mine would be...
||Augur, Tricephalos, Fissure in the Fog, Equilibrious Beast, Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest, Night Aspect, Darkdrift Knight||
from experience fighting them + how stressful it can be
like ||Augur is honestly very difficult to lose to, imo. I think it got me once and then never again. I beat it once after one of our players DC'd for 1.5 days and was level 6 first timing it.||
meanwhile ||Sentient Pest is mostly not that hard, but can sometimes just suddenly kill the other two players and then put you in a Situation||
Fissure is the opposite in that ||It doesn't really have any specific moves that put you in danger of losing, its mostly an endurance fight||
proven cloak
like ||Augur is honestly very difficult to lose to, imo. I think it got me once ...
and I say this having fought it mostly as Raider and Wylder
frozen olive
I think if i do the Augur fight first try i get the 3 bosses in a row achievement
We'll see
If not then it still shouldn't be too hard to dl i think
glossy delta
I think Fissure is mostly a mindset diff for me
Most bosses you can more or less stay in on them and not get punished for it
Even with augur if you are not in you are either chasing it or killing adds
Fissure has several moves that are more or less 'GET OUT OF ADJACENCY WITH ME AND STARE AT ME WHILE DOING NOTHING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL I STOP GLOWING PLEASE.'
arctic geyser
IMO depends on what you play as
frozen olive
Gladius is basically free, and we can prolly stomp Adel again
arctic geyser
||Like Augur is annoying af cause sleep mechanic is undodgeable||
But if you play ironeye it's easy af
arctic geyser
I think Fissure is mostly a mindset diff for me
Most bosses you can more or less...
Hilariously
||Easy as Executor cause you can parry everything minus the mmo raid mechanics||
But also like
||dragons are at worst annoying to me||
proven cloak
||Like Augur is annoying af cause sleep mechanic is undodgeable||
if you ||hit them with lightning it stops it||
some of the bosses are more susceptible to their weaknesses than others
but I rate them assuming you'll generally be able to get one of Augurs if you really want
you just need one seal with a lightning spell on it to be good
glossy delta
I've gotten started doing Wylder and
Wow
plush cliffBOT
Huh. Well that seems strong
Just beat the final boss for thie first time! 🥳
Cutscene spoilers: ||And um. Wow the physical manifestation of The Night literally just got up and walked away huh. Not sure what I was expecting tbh||
Oh come on game why does it have to be the dark and dreary version of the roundtable hold
glossy delta
Yeahhhh that gets a bit annoying
plush cliffBOT
Oh hey we can buy the callback skins now
Also we beat the final boss as a Guardian, which was certainly an idea that we had
The shield was actually surprisingly useful for (most) of their attacks, but guard counters were basically impossible. Which was unfortunate because that was the entire thing I was build around
Oh my gods, this skin for the Revenant is adorable!
proven cloak
its the favorite of all the revs I know lmao
its also a reference to ||ds3, afaik||
proven cloak
goated relic
glossy delta
For me the ranking probably goes like
||Gaping Jaw, Tricephalos, Augur, Night As...
Okay my most recent run probably moved Sentinet Pest past Darkdrift Knight
How do I, as a level 15 Raider, with the Godslayer Greatsword (compatible stat scaling, fire damage) do barely any damage to this fucking thing
Like
max level, and possibly the most compatible weapon a Raider can bring into that fight and
Aieeeee
plush cliffBOT
Doesn't that weapon scale pretty meh with strength
At least in base elden ring, not sure about nightreign
arctic geyser
Think 20 ms is too much latency and would be throwing?
proven cloak
I think the Shears actually dont take too much more damage from fire
proven cloak
Cutscene spoilers: ||And um. Wow the physical manifestation of The Night literal...
I think the most interesting thing here is ||how the giant doesn't just get up, but is 'given grace'. The scene nearly mirrors the opening of the base game with the single golden spark landing on the body and bringing it to life||

Okay this is explaining a lot to me, because I was wondering why folk were portraying her as having huge breasts when whenever I'd seen her it seemed like her posing, clothes, and such were doing the job (hat and clothing do work to frame things too I suspect). Feeling vindicated rn ;p.
cinder jay
see, this is reasonable, but now I'm wondering when that style of bra was invent...
Hm, I think it's worth asking if we're talking about push-up bras specifically, or garments generally that were made to support the breasts.
obtuse halo
as if fanartists need a reason
cinder jay
~~as if fanartists need a reason~~
Give me an artist who knows posing, and I'll show you the best fan-artist there is.
cinder jay
Spoken like someone who's not yet embraced being a poser 😤.
Nah but I get you
I've had to memorise the various bones and bits of the body, and the way they flow is more fluid than I think people realise at times. Posing something which doesn't exist in a still form, but rather changes and stretches with the posing itself such as our arm muscles, is a challenge.
cinder jay
see, this is reasonable, but now I'm wondering when that style of bra was invent...

Pfft
Look if anybody as attractive as the nightfarers hits on you, should take the opportunity first chance.
"But they're X"
Yeah and?
Have you seen some of the beings that exist, at least they arent going, "ah yes, gimme your toes" and unhinging their arm mid way to reveal another mouth to eat your digits like skittles
proven cloak
well, not unless they ask nicely
arctic geyser
Doesn't even matter if they do cause some of em are like the goat that just curse you and then ask nicely
proven cloak
oh, I meant the Nightfarers
I mean idk how the night sorry I mean Night will progress. it depends on how well the date goes
proven cloak
also something I've been thinking about, re: this final boss
cause its really visible in these phase viewers,
||It's sky-cuts don't just let in light, almost all of them have a subtle rainbow / refracted light pattern - is that why this thing has the 7 elemental colors going on? Like, is the design in general based on light getting refracted into different colors, and thats why it has the buffs? 🤨 🏳️🌈?||
||the colors don't entirely match the usual 7 in a rainbow, but its kinda funny that theres at least some rainbow theming going on||
||would explain why Gnoster's is such a vibrant green though||
anyway we can go back to talking about boobs I just wanted to say that before I forgor

Bloodborne needed buff strong werewolf girl

Bloodborne needed buff strong werewolf girl
They did have several, kinda part of the plot that it was an issue.

Fixed a bug that caused the game to become unstable under some circumstances during the battle against Adel, Baron of Night.
-
Fixed a bug where the Demon Merchant would not appear when some conditions were met during the Personal Objective “Find the Demon Merchant in Limveld” of Guardian's Remembrance.
Very goooood

Vicar Amelia is who I think of right away but I'm sure she's not the only one
Though I guess she isn't "buff" per say despite being able to kick your ass
cinder jay
Vicar Amelia is who I think of right away but I'm sure she's not the only one
Think there's some stuff about the flayed one being a woman.

YEAAHHH
Maris down
no match for the power of the creature
4 nightlords down
3 to go
obtuse halo
oh, yeah, that's probably a pretty good weap for Revenant LMAO
especially if it keeps its faith scaling
glossy delta
Its B/D/D scaling str/dex/faith nowadays
obtuse halo
Oh, so the opposite of its scaling in the basegame LMAO
frozen olive
it cooked for sure
though
i had a seal with both lightning spear AND honed bolt
so that was my big dps machine

I gotta admit I still like bonk the most
but
theres something to throwing out 4 spells at once as recluse

Accidentally did our first solo run while initially just trying to do part of wylder's remembrance (spoiled for shifting earth feature)
frozen olive
gg
also lost to fucking Adel again
did not get a poison spell so i was just in melee range and got repeatedly taken down right at the end and we kinda just peetered out
plush cliffBOT
Wylder remembrance ||…is the literal only difference his remembrance outfit has compared to the original the brooch?||
frozen olive
from what i know, yes
proven cloak
since you played it you'll have an idea how to continue, lol
plush cliffBOT
Yeh

Just realized something. They put an Alva outfit into the game but not a Zullie one

0/10 worst soulsborne game /jk
I mean 0/10 is pushing it but well everything has to rank somewhere
/though my vote is Demons Souls that game hates the player and the idea of being played
frozen olive
joyous news
it's next up on the list for me after i clear out the Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne and speed through all of Elden Ring+DLC
old brook
I'm sure folks have the chalice down to a science now at least
old brook
Yeaah they were a neat idea and sometimes interesting enemies but the repetition gets rough
And utter lack of scenery
old brook
and god, the spiders
frozen olive
but, there are unfortunately unique bosses in there
so i'm obligated to torture myself by grinding through all of them
arctic geyser
This implies with 3 teammates all stacking the boost on every relic, a 30% increase in runes
old brook
Night reign seems like it has a different kind of madness maybe

@ember isle
Reflect relic so good
obtuse halo
Reflecting Hundred Hand Slap is exceedingly funny
arctic geyser
It's a guardian specific relic passive
[Guardian] Reflect a portion of damage received when ability is activated
frozen olive
neat
ember isle
It's so good, I just need to find oneeeeee
I love the shield stance, and I'm glad it's like a toggleable thing and not like an ability because juggling when to and when to not feels great when you're dealing with a combo
Since getting hit with a jumping attack or overhead can just slam you instead of hitting your shield
And when you include relics to help with stamina regain on successful blocks or guard counters, good luck breaking through my shield
