Of all things

languid tiger
#

yet another ds2 win

frozen olive
#

Tibia summons...

frozen olive
dusty kraken
#

I feel like a really good addition to gravity magic would have been 'accelerate self into a fast charge'. Straight line so you can't manuver super well but it does blunt damage + a fucktonne of stance damage when you hit.

plush cliffBOT
#

Ds2 was our first souls game so we’re always confused when we see “standard damage”

languid tiger
#

it makes me weep

real shadow
languid tiger
#

i was so fucking baffled when i first played dark souls, and was like

#

"what the fuck is physical"

#

"why is there a regular type"

#

"and a triangle"

frozen olive
#

I'm just doing regular old damage

#

Can't resist it it's just normal damage innit

languid tiger
#

did not remember it changing with ds2, but i was definitely enamored with dark damage at that point

#

and then ds3 was back to pain-peko

#

although i still enjoyed dark damage there

#

i was bigmad when they teased me with those fuckass deep gems

#

and was like

#

hee hoo here's some non-scaling dark damage

#

you bitch

#

you loser

feral linden
#

Wait ds3 has no dark damage?

languid tiger
#

accept it and be grateful

feral linden
#

I know it has no hexes

real shadow
feral linden
#

Because ds1 had no hexes and ds3 wanted to be ds1+1 so badly

languid tiger
#

ds3 has dark damage and int+fth dark spells

#

they're not hex-category spells, but they are hexes

feral linden
#

Ah yea, but theyre not called hexes no

#

Just dark sorceries iirc

dusty kraken
#

I also think it would have been really nice if we'd gotten a Sword Magic staff that was just like...a Good Weapon too. So you can Sword Magic Staff + Shield or such. I'd have loved to have had the Cariant Glintstone Staff have higher physical requirements but be like...a heavier, reinforced staff that is a Decently Solid Weapon. Make the Brawly Spells have a brawly staff.

languid tiger
#

unfortunately there are just

#

pure fth dark spells

#

and pure int dark spells

#

and then int/fth dark pyros

feral linden
#

Guh

languid tiger
#

because they really didn't want to admit to doing hexes

obtuse halo
#

It’s still comical to me that Holy Damage is still Dark in the code

frozen olive
#

Real hex hours

languid tiger
#

but yeah they were also just

obtuse halo
#

They just made it look bright and golden

languid tiger
#

huge dickheads about their infusions

frozen olive
#

I used hexes a bit in ds2, they were fun

languid tiger
#

there were two types of fire and dark gems

#

or was it something else and dark?

#

i think it was fire

#

one just...added non-scaling damage

#

and the other was The Real Thing

#

but the first was just "get fucked bozo lmao"

#

i remember my grievance with this vividly

#

because the uhhh

frozen olive
#

I gotta give it to the old style of spell uses also

dusty kraken
#

My favourite DS2 character was a hex mage with a mace and a full 'I'm a witch' getup. Mace Backstabs are just so satisfying

languid tiger
#

whatever the fucking deacons zone is called

dusty kraken
#

As you just fold the other guy like laundry

languid tiger
#

gives you a deep gem

frozen olive
#

I was skeptical but it is just better

languid tiger
#

and i was like "waow early dark damage yay!"

#

"wait this sucks ass, it removes all my scaling"

languid tiger
#

i adore the spear impale

frozen olive
#

I don't hate fp but the casts amount system is just superior

languid tiger
obtuse halo
#

Yeah i enjoyed ds1/2 having vancian casting

frozen olive
#

the only way it sucked

#

was that some spells were like

obtuse halo
#

It was very different

frozen olive
#

one obtain only

#

which i think is absolute shit

languid tiger
#

i mean i also liked that part

frozen olive
#

but otherwise it's a good system

languid tiger
#

"here's a very strong spell that's very rare"

#

"no you can't cheese everything with it, you have three nukes"

frozen olive
#

yeah but the spells i got which were like that weren't even that good

languid tiger
#

yeah that was the flaw

frozen olive
#

they were cool and i wanted to cast more of them

obtuse halo
#

DS2 letting you mess around with skeptic/simpleton spice was also wild

frozen olive
#

and you just

#

weren't

#

fuck you

languid tiger
#

they were mostly ostentatious aura farming spells

frozen olive
#

die

languid tiger
#

instead of actually good

frozen olive
#

yeah

#

which is awful cause i would love to aura farm with subpar spells but you get like

languid tiger
#

but conceptually i like it

frozen olive
#

2 casts

#

and it's impossible to do anything to get more

#

in that way FP is superior

#

cause you can slot the mega nuclear super bomb and just cast it as much as you want within your fp limit

dusty kraken
#

I can understand the reason for FP to let weapons play with that too but I did like the number of casts system. I think part of that is that the limited casts system played a lot more into DS1-2 caring a lot more about Resource Management. Bonfires were further apart/less immediately close to bosses, so spending resources getting to the boss was part of it.

plush cliffBOT
#

FP our beloved

frozen olive
#

DS2 moreso because i like it more

#

post OnS DS1 drags the whole experience down

languid tiger
#

i think fp was disastrous for elden ring

frozen olive
#

how come?

languid tiger
#

because it solved its own problem of "too many cool spells and not enough slots to use them with" by making extra slots a bespoke item that was a reward for exploring and a couple bosses

#

and then made that meaningless

#

because you were incentivized to find The Best Spell and spam the shit out of it

frozen olive
#

ngl

languid tiger
#

instead of having all of these different util spells of different types

frozen olive
#

i never did get with that bandwagon

#

i ran a full aura farming loadout

languid tiger
#

after giving you the ability to go with all of those types

frozen olive
#

i can't not have Placidusax Ruin

languid tiger
#

along with giving you bountiful opportunity to grab like

#

five casts of a bunch of common spells

frozen olive
#

you cannot make me stop using Scarlet Aeonia

#

i WILL be casting Ranni's dark moon

languid tiger
#

so it felt very much like it was designed with ds1-2 vancian casting in mind

#

from, at least, a map layout-and-reward perspective

dusty kraken
#

I think my ideal combo of the two would be 'FP but bigger spells either have a cooldown before they can be used again or repeating the same spell over and over in a short timeframe scales up the cost of it'

frozen olive
#

honestly i think i had like, spells and incants from every damage type locked in on my first playthrough

#

little bit of blackflame, some lightning, some ice, some rot, funny dragon spells, some carian sorcery as a treat, dabble a bit with some frenzyflame shit

#

the spell selection was too big and cool for me to settle on some meta

plush cliffBOT
#

Additional unrelated thing: we love how the Revenant's summons are always called "family" despite them just being the family's page, cook, and butler. It's so very sweet 😌

frozen olive
#

yeah it's really cute

#

Sebastian gaming tbh

arctic geyser
#

Sebastian the goat

plush cliffBOT
#

Why must the cursed claws be a fist weapon

frozen olive
#

Pain

proven cloak
#

tbf there is actually a short range teleport

#

with the miriam spell

arctic geyser
#

god damnit devs

#

PLZ

#

let me have build diversity

#

they disable all the evergoal shrines on night 2

#

like wtf

#

that relic becomes almost worthless unless you triple stack them

#

and guess what devs

#

no reason to triple stack for rng damage when you can guarantee damage

#

like hello?

vestal night
#

Huh?

#

Evergaols are disabled on night 2?

arctic geyser
#

yeah, after you defeat the night 2 boss you can no longer unlock them

#

it's so dumb

vestal night
#

How weird

arctic geyser
#

it's not that weird given how night 2 kinda just breaks things

#

but it's just a dumb design decision IMO

#

I guess it isn't so bad with 3 players running it

#

because then you get 3 guaranteed

arctic geyser
#

solo'd him again after another failed boss attempt

#

I wish I could figure out how his teleport phase works

#

because it's the only part that's dealing consistent damage to me at this point

#

just gotta solo them 8 more times

#

if anyone knows how the phase works lemme know

thin stratus
#

YEAHHHHH got tricephalos, largely down to a really good team that dragged me through enough bosses fast enough to get the good loot

#

ended up getting him with a legendery bastard stars and by continually powering up my recluse with the like

#

three +10% to all sorcery damage items i found lol

#

first main boss down

#

lvl 12, wayfarer

arctic geyser
#

wayfarer?

#

tricephalos?

kind garden
#

Tricephalos is Gladius

kind garden
#

I’ve run that build/party agenda before and it’s surreally lucrative

#

If you run Rune Gain Up, Evergaol = damage, and start with stonesword key relics all at once you can make unreal amounts of cash and hit lv15 without Gnoster’s help

plush cliffBOT
#

…that’s because the night 2 boss is intended to be the last thing you do before the final boss.

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) yeah, after you defeat the night 2 boss you can no longer unlock them

thin stratus
#

lmao

#

wylder

#

no fucking clue why i renamed them a guardian skin???

arctic geyser
#

was very annoying lol

arctic geyser
arctic geyser
#

sigh

#

jfc

#

devs

#

either make enemies as they're intended

#

or do better QA testing

#

because they either introduced bugs to the adds in the duke bossfight

#

or

#

they got shadowbuffed

plush cliffBOT
#

Can you be more specific?

arctic geyser
#

spider adds no longer get staggered on one katana hit

#

additionally

#

they are waaaay more aggressive than usual

#

both of these feel intentional given usually when I've done the boss fight they just kinda

#

walk around like idiots?

arctic geyser
#

uuuuuugh

#

so apparently

#

if a boss despawns on night 2

#

it doesn't respawn

#

so if you're fighting a boss that supports the ironeye ranged lifestyle

#

don't chase the boss from it's map location

plush cliffBOT
#

📝

#

Night 2 meaning when the night boss/tree shows up?

arctic geyser
#

yeh

#

honestly at this point

#

with the constant like

#

decisions/bugs

#

I'm deciding ironeye is S tier and all the other chars are B tier at best

#

ranged just trivalizes so much and makes a lot of these situations less likely to occur

plush cliffBOT
#

Consider:

#

Pilebunker go boom

mighty warren
#

Certainly a decision of all time

arctic geyser
#

Hmm

#

I don't think I would classify any char as A tier with the gap ranged puts right now

plush cliffBOT
#

(So this is why fromsoft keeps making bows meh)

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) I'm deciding ironeye is S tier and all the other chars are B tier at best

#

Recluse?

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) I don't think I would classify any char as A tier with the gap ranged puts right now

arctic geyser
#

Recluse easily keeps up with Ironeye with optimal loadout

#

unfortunately she does not always get it

#

this doesn't include optimal/skill expression

#

EG best recluse with optimal would def be S tier

#

optimal avg recluse would be A tier, etc

#

both Duchess and Exec could also slide into S tier as well IMO if you assume best skill + best loadout

#

Raider I honestly just don't know enough cause Idk if I've seen avg raiders or terrible raiders and they're just carried by him

#

correction

#

not revenant

#

recluse

plush cliffBOT
#

(Really wish Guardian was more reliable, sometimes it feels like the boss never targets you or they just ignore the shield somehow 😔)

arctic geyser
#

yep

#

exactly why he's C for me

#

he'd be D for me if he didn't have his reflect relic passive

#

because it is hands down one of the best relic passives for any character and jumps him up a whole letter IMO

#

because it blends so well with his kit

#

if executor relic passives were better and not just good/required high skill expression he would be B+ as well

plush cliffBOT
#

We also think match ups matter a bit, like guardian is weirdly good against the nightlord

arctic geyser
#

oh yeh def

#

you can do a tier list for uhh

#

bosses in general

#

and then a tier list for boss enhanced modes

#

because it looks like what they'll do like with adel

#

is the enhanced bosses start in their enhanced/2nd phase mode

#

and will go into a 3rd phase/enhanced mode

#

and sometimes revert back to og form

#

cause like Exec is best char for fighting Adel

plush cliffBOT
#

The sentient pest just gets a third bug friend

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) and will go into a 3rd phase/enhanced mode

arctic geyser
#

while like you said, Guardian can almost endlessly tank Nightlord

arctic geyser
#

is just the jellyfish attaches to the goat's back like ultron

#

and now you gotta deal with both at the same time lol

#

but uhh

#

if game was less kinda esoteric in certain aspects

#

EG bosses not staying permanently despawned on night 2 when they despawn, or some other random bug stuff that has happened

#

I'd move Recluse and Wylder into A tier

#

Exec and Duchess moving up to B+

#

rest stays roughly the same tho

kind garden
#

Guardian has really weird aggro mechanics, it's funny because like

#

Boss hatred seems to literally be a mechanic?

trim owl
#

It was a pleasant surprise for me when I found out that bosses keep the damage you dealt to them between nights

arctic geyser
#

yeh

kind garden
#

but it doesn't interact with Guardian's shield-up aggro boost

#

which is bizarre.

arctic geyser
#

I accidentally d/ced just now cause I went afk while making the tier list

#

but the reason I was salt

#

is I had magma wyrm at like

#

5%

#

and he despawned

plush cliffBOT
#

Apparently the aggro boost only activates when you block an attack

Lunatic Blue ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) but it doesn't interact with Guardian's shield-up aggro boost

arctic geyser
#

and I run back and he's just gone

cinder jay
arctic geyser
#

even that's kinda iffy

#

I've noticed some bosses have intentionally anti-dodge designs

kind garden
#

also some of these assholes do -not- care if you have a shield up

arctic geyser
#

that ranged just ignores

#

like naturalborn void

kind garden
#

they have the shield explode animation

arctic geyser
#

can decide to do 2-4 shockwaves

#

and I think you can only do step dodging?

cinder jay
arctic geyser
#

cause the timing is so specific that you'll get hit heavy to quick rolling

cinder jay
#

I wonder if someone's made a paper or video on the arms race of soulsborne design, because it's some fun stuff to reflect on.

trim owl
#

It does seem like some bosses necessitate using surge sprint

kind garden
#

can't you jump over Astel shockwaves

trim owl
#

either to dodge or to just catch up to them as they run away

#

like Gaping requires you to surge sprint to get out of the gravity AoE

cinder jay
trim owl
kind garden
#

all ground-crawling aoes

#

always

#

you always jump over red circles on the ground

#

it's remarkably consistent

arctic geyser
#

Idk if you can jump the naturalborn shockwaves

#

timing is specific

#

and to be clear

#

it's not so much you can't dodge/jump a shockwave

#

it's that the 2nd shockwave seems to be timed specifically to the roll timings

#

so that it always hits

cinder jay
#

But yeah @arctic geyser , if you ever try out Elden Ring proper and come across a skill called Bloodhound Step, I recommend giving it a go. You'll feel rather quickly what I mean with operating outside of the expected paradigm of the bosses.

arctic geyser
#

yeh

kind garden
#

Bloodhound Step returning as Marking

#

is hilarious

arctic geyser
#

I plan to buy elden ring when it's on sale for 50% off

#

for right now I'm just tryharding at nightreign

#

which is kinda dumb cause it would be smarter to just

#

get ironeye setup first

#

I think my current biggest issue is like

#

pathing before night 1 rain starts

#

spawns are consistent enough that you can prep them

kind garden
#

I am playing with trios so this may not be as useful for singleplayer planning

plush cliffBOT
#

Oh gods, going from nightreign back to elden ring will take some adjustment sweating

arctic geyser
#

fwiw

kind garden
#

but day 1 my plan has been like

plush cliffBOT
#

“Let me just jump off this clif- oh right”

arctic geyser
#

trios>solo>duo (in trios)>randoms

#

I imagine it'll be trios>duos>solo>duos (in trios)>randoms when duos actually comes out

#

only exception would be like

#

enhanced bosses

#

like adel might actually be easier solo rn cause 2nd phase adel is a bull in a china shop

#

and just

#

refuses to quit moving lol

#

but then again

#

3 ironeyes huehuehue

cinder jay
#

They're still good, but you do feel the restrictions.

kind garden
#
  • at least one church (two if you can route to one)
  • camp/cathedral depending on partycomp
  • mine
  • evergaol if possible
    --first circle constriction--
    depending on where the circle goes either:
  • camp/cathedral rampage, clear as many as possible
  • straight to the castle, sponge runes like crazy
    --night 1 end--
  • decide now: shifting earth gimmick or mass field boss culling
  • clear everything on the way to your target/targets
    --first circle constriction--
  • eval if you can finish what you're doing rn: if no, straight to the castle to sponge anything left there
    --night 2 end--
arctic geyser
#

I'm trying to see if evergoal relic + the two bnb executor boss relics are fine

#

I'm just being trash rn lol

#

granted

#

I still need to learn enhanced adel 3rd boss phase

#

and clear enhanced adel another 8 times

#

I have until thursday to do it tho

trim owl
#

what's the evergoal relic do?

kind garden
kind garden
trim owl
# kind garden

Speaking of this mfer, I had a run last night where he raided(?) and reduced our max HP. Are you supposed to just hit him until he turns aggro and you can presumably fight him to get rid of the debuff? We hadn't ever seen it before so we didn't know what you're supposed to do. He asks for 35k runes to undo it.

kind garden
#

you can either pay him, or beat his ass while debuffed

#

you get different rewards for either option

#

paying him makes him increase your max HP and defenses

#

beating his ass counts as defeating a Great Enemy

trim owl
#

oh, good to know that paying him isn't a complete waste

#

I feel like the game should probably signpost that though

#

it felt like complete dogshit and extremely unfair without knowing that paying him gives you a benefit

kind garden
#

it does tell you, it's just obscure

#

it's in your active buffs/effects listing, it should be called Demon Skin Shield or something

trim owl
#

you don't know that before you pay him though do you?

kind garden
#

oh, no

#

but to be fair, Ligma's whole gimmick is making chancy and obscure deals

trim owl
#

yeah like, we didn't pay him (too poor), and we didn't know you could hit him to start a fight. We went off somewhere else to try to gather runes but didn't have enough time. My friend tried hitting him a few times and did damage, but he didn't aggro and by then he was in the rain so we just had to leave

#

(we failed that run obviously)

#

I think the problem is that it's not really framed as a deal

#

it's just extortion lol

kind garden
#

mm

#

all the boss invasions kind of work as "hey asshole I'm here to ruin your day but also you can benefit from overcoming this trial"

trim owl
#

can you even run away from the raids?

#

Margit follows you around afaik (or the host?)

kind garden
#

Margit chases whoever has hatred

#

forever

trim owl
#

When I got raided by Augur, it didn't seem like you could leave the zone

kind garden
#

until he kills you all or is slain in turn

trim owl
#

I didn't try

kind garden
#

Augur, you can avoid the bubble but if you do, Augur gets to sit on top of an area of the map you can no longer benefit from

#

You can just ignore Gnoster but like, should ya

trim owl
#

At least Augur and Margit aren't really too bad

#

When Augur happened to us, it spawned right on top of us from what I can remember

#

maybe we just weren't paying attention or didn't know what it was and we just walked into its zone?

#

is it like one of the big night blobs floating in the air? We also ran into one of those (intentionally) and it just had us fight a bunch of the wraith calling enemies

kind garden
#

there are a few different Night Blobs

#

one is bubbles, which has you get trapped in a cage match with Maris

#

another is Night Horde, which has you fight a wave of enhanced enemies for drops

#

there's another which is Cataclysm, which has you fight NPC players

trim owl
#

hm, good to know

kind garden
#

Cataclysm is a tornado

#

I hope there are other events tbh

trim owl
#

yeah, they're cool and help spice things up

#

they're good because they give you rewards

#

I think the problem with goatman is that it's not initially clear that he also grants a reward

#

the first time it happens to you, it just feels like the game randomly kicking you in the balls

plush cliffBOT
#

Only one person needs to pay goatboy right?

kind garden
#

correct

arctic geyser
#

god damnit

#

so his stupid teleport shit

#

isn't an actual teleport strike or w/e

#

it's just a run check

#

to where if he does it you run as far as possible until he spawns the tornado then you use the wellsprings

#

I beat him twice without knowing that's how you deal with that mehcanic

#

Stupid tornado killed me 4 times in my previous attempt

arctic geyser
#

okaaaaayyyy

#

I'm having the

#

weirdest bug?

#

every time I ult as executor right now it instakills me?

thin stratus
#

expert rebalancing fromsoft, lmao

#

but that IS weird

arctic geyser
#

yeah like

#

I don't want this to mess up my boss fight

#

so I guess I'll try it once I recover my souls and am safe

#

hmm

#

I'm safe inside the bubble

#

I wonder if I leave the zone now if it'll kill me

plush cliffBOT
#

The bubble?

#

Ah

arctic geyser
#

the safe zone at night too yeh

#

I was trying to wrap up shrouded city by duplicating my weapon

plush cliffBOT
#

Might we suggest that you stop going into the rain?

arctic geyser
#

but every time I ulted for a fight it was killing me lol

thin stratus
#

i am getting "cannot play, no connection" errors

#

maybe something is fuckey

plush cliffBOT
#

Oh gods, did the servers die again?

ingle(she/her) ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) i am getting "cannot play, no connection" errors

#

all i can say is maybe

#

i dont know that its not local to my end

arctic geyser
#

couldn't that that one sadcowboy

#

rip me

#

adel is jank with his tornados sadcowboy

#

first time, "I'm not seeing them, guess I'm inside?" gets hit 2 seconds later

#

second time

#

, "okay, let me run back now so I don't get hit again"

#

spawns tornados 20 seconds later, I'm so far back I can't reach the slipstreams

arctic geyser
#

well rip me

#

now I'm facing latency issues due to 60 fps lock

trim owl
arctic geyser
#

I think it was the moving trunk one but it dissappeared cause night 2

#

I don't care that you're giving me god tier raider relics game

#

I'm not playing raider

trim owl
#

Why not?

old brook
#

I keep thinking Wylder and Raider are the same guy because of how little Raider discussion I've seen

#

He's the Big Bonk Strength guy yeah

#

Seems.. one note

trim owl
#

yeah, just smash the boss with your big weapon

obtuse halo
#

yeah raider was the one who left zero impression on me in previews

#

"yep that's a guy"

#

doesn't help that he has probably the least sexy ultimate

trim owl
#

actually surprisingly decent support with his ultimate since it boosts damage for everyone, but the pillar itself is a little janky, esp with how it interacts with downed players (it doesn't lift them up for some reason)

obtuse halo
#

it's not bad, it just isn't sexy

trim owl
#

his skill is pretty good though, gives you a lot of damage resist and poise and has a pretty short cooldown

old brook
#

The Endure Cult unsurprisingly, Endures

trim owl
#

lol

#

I haven't played with him much but after playing with all the characters, I feel like he's probably one of the easier and more forgiving characters to play, assuming you like colossal weapons

arctic geyser
#

Raider is also just like

#

not enough complexity for me lol

#

also he's solid but there's just so many better choices

#

at least to me

#

as determined by my biased tier list

arctic geyser
#

swapped over to ironeye

#

so much easier for enhanced adel 😌

kind garden
#

I have clapped all the nightlords except Fulghor now

#

and Adel+

arctic geyser
#

adel+ is fairly easy

#

as a heads up tho

#

beginning is a free death for you if the initial impact lands

#

and then the timing is delayed compared to the other electric shockwaves

mighty warren
#

Yknow i ain't gonna lie i think i just don't like katanas in fromsoft games

I like executor don't get me wrong but i said screw it and try some other dex weapons and just
instantly enjoyed myself way more

obtuse halo
#

Yeah katana is…fine? I don’t love them though

proven cloak
#

his ult is whatever though, you just kinda pop it and forget most of the time

#

playing Raider feels like you gotta pay more attention to what the enemy is doing than someone like Recluse

#

and thats from experience

I like katanas but I kinda dislike the executor's special moveset, at least while two-handing. Mostly I just use the one-handed moveset with some dual wielding attacks thrown in, and I try to just use the skill to defend before switching back to my actual weapons to attack with.

#

got close against Everdark Adel twice today

#

if we get a good run we definitely got it

#

we would have won but i biffed it on keeping track of the storm and it super kills me dead within seconds so i wasn't able to survive it, and i have the best revive so we got fucked

arctic geyser
#

granted that's fine and all when you aren't pulling aggro

#

but duchess has higher dps IIRC

frozen olive
#

i truly despise Adel

obtuse halo
#

everyone says adel is easy
"Well fine then" ~ FROM, probably

frozen olive
#

i never thought it was fun or easy

#

so this is like, turbo deluxe not fun

arctic geyser
#

adel is easy for most melee classes

#

only exception is like

#

guardian

#

but that's cause guardian has no dodge

#

ranged classes actually benefit more staying within melee range

#

it's honestly probably because people don't understand what it's like to fight him as ranged

#

if you fight him outside melee reach, his attacks are more likely to connect

#

additionally

#

adel's grab is stupidly fast

#

but melee it feels like a normal dodge

#

where ranged it's practically the same timing as melee

#

also IIRC

#

all the ranged classes get 1-shot by the grab

#

and depending on what level/how tanky, also get one-shot by the non big grab

#

I think recluse/revenant have hardest time fighting him

#

because cast times are slower than most melee strikes

#

so they're likely to get animation locked into something instead of just whiff and then being able to dodge

#

a lot of the other bosses are not nearly as quick for their attacks

#

EG jellyfish is a non threat to ranged outside of sleep

#

the other thing is like

#

player averages

#

on average a player is more likely to be melee

#

just cause they're more melee classes

#

so adel is easier than most cause melee doesn't struggle on that fight nearly as much as the other bosses

trim owl
# arctic geyser but duchess has higher dps IIRC

That's the thing. Exec is primarily a tank character imo. I did great with him as the sole melee character when my friends were playing Ironeye and Recluse. I feel like thinking of him as a dps is a mistake.

arctic geyser
#

well yeh

#

I rank him B alongside Duchess for the average player because he's got some tankiness due to parry built in. Duchess I'd rank higher if she was easier to play but IIRC a lot of players struggle with her

real shadow
#

Fighting Adel sucks and doesn't feel good because it's like fighting the golden hippo all over again only with more HP, an annoying as fuck AoE, and despite all logic having a bigger arena doesn't help the situation.

arctic geyser
#

yeh but that's most bosses

plush cliffBOT
#

Hmm

arctic geyser
#

jellyfish is mechanically the easiest

real shadow
#

No it...really isn't, actually.

plush cliffBOT
#

We wonder how much nightreign being multiplayer affects how people play the game

arctic geyser
#

is it not? I thought most bosses get some sorta AOE that ignores what you do?

real shadow
#

The "most bosses" part, that is. Other bosses are more interesting/fun to fight, Adel is just a fucking slog.

arctic geyser
#

oh I mean in that case

#

libra and jellyfish are the worst by far lmao

#

they're so painfully boring, goat is less annoying cause funneh

#

but in terms of AOE, I think maybe sentient pest doesn't have annoying AOE but I can't remember

#

oh well technically

plush cliffBOT
#

Like, do people get more aggressive and make more mistakes against tough bosses (e.g. how bell bearing hunter is significantly more difficult in this game than in base game even with the same moveset that a lot of players might have memorized by now. Though he admittedly does a lot more damage now)

arctic geyser
#

doggo doesn't

real shadow
arctic geyser
#

and ultimately, is the biggest slog of a fight in a game that almost punishes you for taking it

#

the only benefit for fighting him is he's one of the few bosses that isn't a legendary-rated boss that drops legendary gear more than the others

#

so theoretically

#

abusing night 2 mechanics you net yourself a free legendary as long as you don't mess up and somehow lock yourself out of lvl 15

#

assuming you can get to him

plush cliffBOT
#

(Though we do also think bell bearing is probably more difficult in multiplayer due to how quickly he can switch targets and how easily his attacks can hit multiple people)

#

...abusing night 2 mechanics?

real shadow
#

Night 2 doesn't end until you go into the slime.

arctic geyser
#

yeh, if you kill night 2 boss, and can make it to castle, the punishment for fighting him, which is losing time, doesn't matter

plush cliffBOT
#

We see

arctic geyser
#

also he's uhh

#

he like

plush cliffBOT
#

That seems like a pain with the rain

arctic geyser
#

doesn't get staggered like a lot of other bosses do

#

so really you can ult him for the damage but then he immediately swings and can one-shot you if you don't have max hp

#

at least as far as I've seen with most chars

#

I'm assuming he gets staggered by raider

#

Idk if he does against wylder

real shadow
arctic geyser
#

then woof

#

yeah he's actually straight up tougher than a number of the actual bosses

plush cliffBOT
#

He does not get staggered by Wylder either

real shadow
#

He's a motherfucker to stagger even with full wind-up on Retaliate.

plush cliffBOT
#

(Is the rain just less of an issue than it seems?)

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) That seems like a pain with the rain

arctic geyser
#

well

#

night 2 every time you hit a bonfire it refreshes health and flasks

plush cliffBOT
#

Mmm

arctic geyser
#

so you can path to areas if you have enough flasks and bonfires

#

however

#

you have 2 minutes once you leave the safe zone, then it practically instakills you

trim owl
#

wait really? The graces still work out in the rain?

obtuse halo
#

They do

arctic geyser
#

this is excluding any buggy stuff, EG the bug I had earlier where ulting in the rain in shrouded city as executor kept insta-killing me

#

which by the way

#

for shrouded city, due to where final zone is

plush cliffBOT
#

(ngl we think we'll still skip continuing night 2 like that)

arctic geyser
#

you can actually get the weapon duplicate

#

you just can't feasibly get natural born void

#

actually not true

#

raider can

trim owl
#

The issue I have with the rain is that it deals flat damage, not a percentage of your health. So low HP characters like Ironeye have way less leeway.

arctic geyser
#

eh

#

yeah but also night 2 you're no longer like, timed against you, it's just managing health and avoiding getting hit

#

randoms you should obv never do it cause randoms can just force the final boss fight to start

trim owl
#

I just mean in general

arctic geyser
#

but coordinated trio do what you want

arctic geyser
#

is ironeye is ranged so because he trivalizes most fights, this becomes less of a problem lol

#

like with ironeye with crater event, I cleared out top left side of the map after being at lvl 12 with legendary starting weapon, which included fighting 2-3 field bosses

#

cause I just was like "well if I die but do a quarter of the HP every time, and occasionally get to ult for free damage immunity, I'll eventually clear so and so"

#

where like executor I couldn't do that as consistent cause due to varying attack patterns I sometimes just had to dodge instead of damage

arctic geyser
plush cliffBOT
#

We mean.
We think it's more most people don't know/don't want to do this and doing it and delaying the boss fight seems rude

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) randoms you should obv never do it cause randoms can just force the final boss fight to start

arctic geyser
#

esp cause we haven't seen the rest of the enhanced bosses and if one specifically gets designed in specific ways, taking a char against them will be a punishment

arctic geyser
#

most of the time against normal bosses it's not worth cause 3 people at lvl 13 is very similar to 3 people at lvl 15

#

only exceptions are like

#

"we should duplicate this legendary staff so both recluse players get it"

real shadow
arctic geyser
#

really? I've had some goober randoms but I've also had some john eldenring randoms too

#

tbf it is gonna be RNG

real shadow
#

The heavy amount of RNG coupled with the timer and the randos has been mostly a negative experience and I can only take doing the same runs over and over and failing to get anywhere before I'm just done.

#

It's not like ER where I can just go right to the boss again after dying, or fuck off somewhere else.

arctic geyser
#

hmm

#

I think only control you have depends on relics and char selection

#

assuming you're stuck before clearing most bosses

#

although if you're playing ironeye already I wouldn't recommend swapping chars

real shadow
#

That's the only real control, beyond identifying which layouts are there when a run starts.

arctic geyser
#

nah even then it's not guaranteed

#

well

real shadow
#

There's some control there if you play long enough and go "there's a reasonably good chance for X over here"

arctic geyser
#

it's more guaranteed with shifting tides

#

but if you get castle you can just get hard trolled

#

by knights lmao

real shadow
#

Or just the trolls throwing their fucking pots.

arctic geyser
#

yeh, with those it's more dps check and being mindful with ult usage

#

granted at a certain point there's always solo with ironeye/wylder

#

but you still got the timer

#

at least until night 2]

#

and then even then it becomes pathing/resource minigame

real shadow
#

Yeah, and if solo is only really viable with 2 or 3 of the classes it's like...well, this kind of stinks.

arctic geyser
#

I think worst classes solo would be revenant, guardian, and maybe recluse.

I think most other classes solo are doable with the normal bosses

#

unless you mean enhanced bosses

#

in which case yeah mainly ironeye/wylder atm

real shadow
#

Last time I touched the game was before enhanced bosses were thrown in so that should tell you something.

arctic geyser
#

oh tbf

#

this also doesn't even include

#

60 fps lock punish

trim owl
#

Revenant actually isn't as bad as I thought she would be solo, but I've only taken her against the dog so far so take that with a grain of salt I guess.

old brook
#

I do think it's a bit unfun to advertise 1 or 3 players and have so many asterisks on that

arctic geyser
#

where you kinda have to mash inputs sometimes

real shadow
#

60fps lock doesn't even bother me because I played Bloodborne on a base PS4 and I sure adapted to that quickly.

frozen olive

what level?

I have +6 to vigor as well

executor got one shot?

#

wait the big grab right?

Yeah

#

I think he might have barely survived once

arctic geyser

that one if adel has any buffs will one-shot exec yeh

#

nevermind the uhh

#

tornado doing bonus damage lol

plush cliffBOT
#

The what

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) 60 fps lock punish

frozen olive
#

Also the thunderdome expanding kills you so quick

arctic geyser
# plush cliff The what

any game that runs at 60 fps can suffer latency issues that largely shouldn't happen but combined with anything else that happens, can make inputs fail entirely

#

so like if I play exec

frozen olive
#

If you're stuck in it you might as well drop your controller

arctic geyser
#

every once in awhile my dodge input, when it's within a window of it being able to be used, can sometimes just get dropped entirely

#

so I have to double tap or mash

arctic geyser
#

and he just "nothing personel, kid" me and like

#

just zoom grabbed me

#

and I was like "nani?"

frozen olive
#

I've been on the edge of it while it was expanding as rev and just died in seconds

arctic geyser
#

that's when I realized how bad adel is for people who play outside melee range

plush cliffBOT
#

We see

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) any game that runs at 60 fps can suffer latency issues that largely shouldn't happen but combined …

frozen olive
#

the way it spawns is also beyond fucked

#

cause it does an enormous fuck off combo for ages

#

and then it randomly drops in the middle of the tornado somewhere

arctic geyser
#

and then does it

#

yeah

frozen olive
#

several times i've gotten killed by it just because i started running

#

and it literally spawned the middle right behind me

#

and i just

#

don't have any way of escaping

#

so it's 100% just death

#

no matter what

arctic geyser
#

oh you know what might be happening

frozen olive
#

it's so dogshit

arctic geyser
#

if you're playing with others, it might try to spawn it based on the trio position

#

so if you start running but it got goofy for a second you might run into it

#

that's so bad 😭

frozen olive
#

i've been completely fucked by it spawning on my ass several times

#

the thunderdome fucking blows tbh

#

it's cool in theory but the fact it expands so fast and you just are guaranteed dead if you're too close to it while it expands makes it such a run killer

arctic geyser
#

It might also have uhh

#

lag damage too

#

cause solo it's never killed me by itself

#

but if you're MP it might lag and tick multiple times or something

#

well

#

maybe it has and I got it confused

frozen olive
#

it literally fucking melted my hp in seconds

arctic geyser
#

I could have sworn I've died only to the lightning teleport combo thing though

frozen olive
#

and i was using 2x 3+ vigor relics and one 5+ vigor relic

arctic geyser
#

I would not use vigor relics unless you're using them for overworld yeh

frozen olive
#

or whatever the fathom relic gives

arctic geyser
#

actually to be fair

#

the times I died to the teleport combo

#

I probably just rezed during the tornado so just missed getting hit by it due to that

#

given I beat enhanced adel twice solo without even understanding the tornado mechanic

frozen olive
#

ok yeah so 3+ is 60 health and the fathom one gives 100 health total

arctic geyser
#

100 health is awful

#

like

#

a dog does more damage on one bite

#

unless it's that much health per level

#

but even then I wouldn't trust it

#

well

#

I take that back

#

I think flasks are based on max hp

#

and I know the uhh

#

"flask slowly restores HP" lets you tank dot death mechanics

frozen olive
#

anwyay i'm going to try like

arctic geyser
#

like jellyfish sleep

frozen olive
#

Ironeye

#

next time i do a run

arctic geyser
#

solo or trio?

frozen olive
#

cause Revenant is just not that good for Everdark

frozen olive
arctic geyser
#

good luck

frozen olive
#

trio i did it with today was Ironeye, Executor and Revenant

arctic geyser
#

like I said any char outside melee range seems scuffed to me on adel

frozen olive
#

we almost won twice

#

might try guardian i guess

arctic geyser
#

oh in that case the extra consistent damage might just work™️

frozen olive
#

i don't really like playing melee classes that much

#

tried duchess a bit

arctic geyser
#

alternatively if you can get within melee range you're a lot safer I've noticed, minus any 180/360 moves

frozen olive
#

it doesn't help that like

plush cliffBOT
#

It’s a flat +100 hp

Reverb-MSG4RF- ↩️

[Reply to:](#1251763655578488872 message) unless it's that much health per level

arctic geyser
#

that is

#

so awful

frozen olive
#

90-95% of the useful attack spells are nerfed against Adel for Rev since almost all good damage incants that i've ever gotten are lightning or fire

arctic geyser
#

unless I'm misunderstanding how the HP works

arctic geyser
#

do uhh

#

poison relic from sentient pest

frozen olive
#

every level of vigor in nightreign is 20 hp iirc

arctic geyser
#

and then get starting bow to purple

#

unless I'm scared by w/e is gonna be next enhanced 😭

frozen olive
#

rev at max level had 780 health

#

so 220 health extra is actually not that bad

plush cliffBOT
#

(For reference, revenant at level 15 has only 780 hp, recluse has 740, and guardian has 1280)

arctic geyser
#

oh

#

then that's not sooo bad

#

I just don't think it would matter much against final boss

frozen olive
#

anyway it did NOT matter against Adel

#

the grab one-shot regardless

plush cliffBOT
#

Yeah its pretty good, especially early game

arctic geyser
#

level 1 I can see mattering a lot yeh

frozen olive
#

Revenant starts with 200 hp

#

for reference

plush cliffBOT
frozen olive
#

having those relics boosts your health to lvl 5 health from the start

#

which is pretty fucking good

#

with them i have as much hp as a max level executor

#

at lvl 15

#

also not accounting for any hp boosting effects

arctic geyser
#

I'd say as executor the bnb poison + ice relics are probably best in slot and then 3rd slot in w/e

#

esp against adel

frozen olive
#

mhm

arctic geyser
#

given ice does like 1.5-2k damage on proc

#

and poison is just dot

frozen olive
#

my plan for executor is for sure Gnoster relic for the poison and poison on the charged ult

#

i haven't bothered with it on Rev cause uh

#

her claws have zero range and i don't feel like running up to Adel to try to scratch at him

arctic geyser
#

executor ult is likely to whiff or get staggered

frozen olive
#

oh wait

#

i meant Ironeye

#

got all mixed up

arctic geyser
#

oh yeh Ironeye ult is based

#

and IIRC

#

Ironeye can cancel adel's windup

#

I'm not 100% sure on that though

#

Wylder's for sure can

frozen olive
#

would love to use the ice and poison relics together but i'd need to rely on a way to do ice damage in-game

#

which isn't always the best idea

arctic geyser
#

yeah ironeye doesn't work with the boss ice relic

#

cause he's bow

#

it's so funny to me that like

#

ironeye's only downside is he can't use melee relics lmao

frozen olive
#

i was thinking maybe trying Augur, Nightlord and Sentient Pest relics together

arctic geyser
#

the ironeye vs melee meme is real

#

nightlord weapon swap is kinda meh

#

against adel it's extra meh due to adel only really taking bonus damage from poison

#

like theoretically

#

if you can get ice on the weapon swap you're good

#

I just don't know how feasible it is

#

or if it gets cancelled by ironeye's mark skill

#

but also there's other good relics

#

like the evergoal relic

#

esp if you have a dedicated trio

#

cause that's 3 guaranteed evergoals

frozen olive
#

prolly just going to run this

#

and upgrade my starter

arctic geyser
#

this is what I ran to solo enhanced adel with ironeye

trim owl
#

I'm still annoyed that Gaping Maw is placed before the scorpion

#

and the scorpion drops the poison relic

#

from actually trolling us

trail sail
#

Why are we doing tier lists for this again

arctic geyser
#

I did a tier list based upon what I've seen cause tier lists are fun, esp when I consider different scenarios

#

realistically do what you want, someone IIRC has already beaten all the bosses with just their fists

#

plus also makes me realize some things I don't normally think about

#

like in example

#

Raider, with his ult, might be able to make traversing inside the shrouded city easier if you want a more direct route to the boss

#

I know he can let you enter the city from the north side of the map with his ult

thin stratus

#

oooooooh I was wondering why sometimes it seemed like the marks ended early. So if you do enough damage while an enemy is marked, it essentially does something similar to a bleed proc, a big single chunk of damage that's %health based?

You can play any of the other dex chars

also it seems that all bows are treated as shortbows in terms of giving him rolling and running attacks with them

#

not sure if other characters have those bc I've never tried

arctic geyser
#

Well there's the golem bows

#

Those bows have that long windup

trim owl
#

other than Greatbows

arctic geyser
#

And the crossbows

#

And the cannons

trim owl
#

those are a separate class

arctic geyser
#

But yeah theyre all the same

trim owl
#

his specialty is only "bows" iirc

#

they aren't

arctic geyser
#

No I mean

trim owl
#

that'd be like saying greatswords and colossal swords are the same

arctic geyser
#

Every thing that aren't those are the same

#

Like there's no normal bow or short bow difference

trim owl
#

I'm not sure, I'll go test it really quick unless you already tried it

arctic geyser
#

I could have sworn they were but maybe I missed something

#

Oh also

#

Idk how to get rain of arrows to work right

trim owl
#

They were different in previous games so idk

arctic geyser
#

It just kinda sucks to me

trim owl
#

I'm pretty sure it does just suck lol

arctic geyser
#

Barrage just seems the best

obtuse halo
trim owl
#

sadly

vestal night
#

from what I could tell, Ironeye gets faster attacks, also the spread shot on heavies

arctic geyser
#

Also to be clear

trim owl
#

okay yeah, seems like all the bows do have the same (shitty and very slow) moveset if you aren't Ironeye

arctic geyser
#

Randoms is harder than solo

trim owl
#

I didn't realize how insane the difference is with Ironeye actually

#

like it's significantly faster

arctic geyser
#

Interesting, I never knew that

#

Like 9/10 you wouldn't use a bow on another char

trim owl
#

yeah definitely

#

I think the pulley crossbow is probably the only ranged weapon worth using on other characters

arctic geyser
#

Yeh pully crossbow builds up status stuff really quickly IIRC

#

Only thing faster is barrage

trim owl
#

flat damage doesn't depend on your stats and it probably revives people faster(?). I don't know for sure if that second part is true

vestal night
#

revive progress is AIUI purely based on weapon type and per hit, not damage based

obtuse halo
#

yeah it's more like poise 'damage' than raw damage

trim owl
#

right, but the pulley crossbow shoots a burst of 3 bolts, so it has a much higher rate of fire than normal crossbows

#

I don't know if all 3 bolts individually do the same amount of revive progress as a single bolt, or if they total the same amount as a single bolt, or something in between

frozen olive
#

Revenant claws iirc are like, the top tier weapon for revives

vestal night
#

they do a lot of revive progress and can multihit yeah

warped quest
#

I had a great idea Magic consumables in ER should scale on mind and for the pots you should be able to charge them with more fp for more damage

#

like you would a heavy attack

frozen olive
#

What the fuck

#

Apparently Nameless King's name is in Nightreign!?!?!?

#

At least potentially

#

did 2 runs for enhanced adel

#

beat the first one but 2nd one I goobered too many times and got hit by grabs/big swings

arctic geyser
#

12 hours.....

arctic geyser
frozen olive
#

REAL

#

LMAOOOOO

kind garden
#

servers are deepfried rn

#

got kicked out of two really good runs on our way to try to last-minute kill Adel

arctic geyser
#

NOOOO

#

I needed more run clears

#

I was going to do them when I got home 😭

#

Also apparently 1H katana while dual Wielding is better than 2 handing a katana as well as better than using both katanas

#

It's apparently faster

#

So like wtf fromsoft

trim owl
#

lol

#

glad to see my dislike of the Executor 2H moveset is justified

#

dual wielding attacks can still situationally be good, basically any attacks that have you swing with both at the same time, so the jumping attack and rolling attack off the top of my head

kind garden
#

executor's 2h moveset for katana is not good but I think it has an advantaged stagger rate?

arctic geyser
#

It's only for stagger apparently but like

#

Raw dps there's no reason since status buildup is nerfed for 2Hs?

#

Wild to me

kind garden
#

but remember

plush cliffBOT
#

So 1H a katana is better than every other option?

kind garden
#

anything that has better stagger motion values also has better revive numbers

arctic geyser
#

Supposedly

arctic geyser
#

It has much less stamina drain

#

So you can dodge and spam attacks for rez longer

kind garden
#

damn that's fucking crazy, exec 2h katana moveset just never beats anything

old brook
#

what's so cursed about it

plush cliffBOT
#

Its damage output

arctic geyser
old brook
#

i originally thought executor was gorl so curse is just all over the place

arctic geyser
#

If executor was a girl they would slide into top 10 chars of all time for me

Gimme a brawler, Arcane asked 'what if a woman was huge and beat the shit out of you' and it's correct

Then again maybe people wouldn't handle femme raider in a normal and healthy manner.

arctic geyser
#

Of course not

real shadow
#

Same with twink duchess.

arctic geyser
#

That one I don't know

#

Would have to ask Lies of P fans

old brook
#

It'd hit tumblr like a tactical strike

real shadow
#

I think you just made a perfect case against it actually

kind garden
#

no

#

no negotiating with terrorists if people don't act normal about the character designs it's their problem

People wanting fem exec because duty honor girl

Me wanting fem exec for goth doggo katana girl

We are not the same

arctic geyser
#

beat enhanced adel 7 times

#

I can maybe get another 2 wins in with only 40 min left 😭

mighty warren
#

Enhanced fulghur was

surprisingly easy

frozen olive
#

interesting

mighty warren
#

Not complaining mind you

frozen olive
#

i'm excited to see how he is

#

he was one of the more fun ones imo

mighty warren
#

I know normal fulghur kinda gets stuffed by a good enough guardian, enhanced was no different

#

Spoilers for attacks

|| His fucking super arrow shot was a bit nutty but i blocked and just ATE it all with my guard not even breaking||

frozen olive
#

Immaplay Rev against him

#

Let me at em i've got beef 😤

arctic geyser
#

Idk his attack stuff yet

valid pagoda
arctic geyser
#

Enhanced fulghur is easier for pubs

#

Im actually pleased

#

Cause enhanced Adel was such a knowledge check with all the one shot mechanics

frozen olive
#

Yeah

#

Looking forward to enhanced Fulghur

In this video I'm testing if any of the strongest bosses in elden ring can survive the final boss from elden ring nightreign, heolstor the nightlord.

As I'm sure you already know there's a new elden ring game out there so I decided to port its final boss and put him up against the main bosses from the base game and the shadow of the erdtree DLC...
