I wish I could get a screenshot myself
#Elden Ring: Nightreign
bitter oar
The compression just doesnt do it justice
Need to make some way for us to rewatch cutscenes
languid bane
i was like eyes wide opened when i was watching this whole thing like wtf lol
||the visuals and the audio were just crazy too when he was bashing her head in ||
bitter oar
I know Fromsoft is known for their "tell, dont show" approach with lore but it hits REALLY different when they show exactly what happened
So often we play in a time or place after everything has happened, in the aftermath or the ruins
We hardly get to see just how bad things are when they're falling apart
spring kiln
||the visuals and the audio were just crazy too when he was bashing her head in ...
oh god...I didn't have the audio for that scene in the vid
bitter oar
Its... squishy
languid bane
oh god...I didn't have the audio for that scene in the vid
ya, watching it at like 2:30am and hearing that in my headphones i was just like holy shit
spring kiln
yea 100% her story could fit into bloodborne
I just watched the cutscene on YouTube with my ear buds in
the silence ||as she looked up at him before he attacks her is haunting||
languid bane
ya, its wild
spring kiln
I'm imagining a cutscene of the girl from bloodborne that gave us the music box now
the pig in the sewers...
bitter oar
I continue to be surprised FromSoft havent just made a horror game yet
After Bloodborne and DS3 I feel like theyre overdue for it
The sewer centipedes...
And all the screaming bodies with item pickups in the Irithyll Dungeon what the hell was up with those
spring kiln
with a new director at the wheel for nightreign, maybe they could try one in the future
languid bane
i hate fighting the dragonic sentry
spring kiln
understandable
when I'm in a party fighting them, normally I fight it to keep it occupied while the other two work on his knights
enough revenant depression, back to smol memes
steel seal
a mimir
languid bane
omg i had the god set up for my revenant and the servers go down for maintenance..... 
the two randoms i had were god gamers as well. we were slaying everything
man that hurts bc i was getting crazy drops for once and had the perfect staff and greataxe aswell along with my relics
spring kiln
spring kiln
uninvited...
bitter oar
Apparently these were supposed to be a thing
Seems they also made Adel hopefully freeze computers less
spring kiln
magic!
spring kiln
uninvited...
the run failed sadly
the witch is complicated 
all these elemental combinations
i am doing the retrieve and cast while animating trick
bitter oar
Yeah Recluse has a bit of a learning curve, hard to remember what all her combos do
And setting them up properly is a challenge on its own
But some of them are VERY powerful
steel seal
Tried her once and beat the nightlord but I wasn’t having a fun time
bitter oar
X
spring kiln
Tried her once and beat the nightlord but I wasn’t having a fun time
it's a lot of micromanaging and I can see the dps potential and support benefits. I just don't think I'm a good witch, trying at least what I can.
I do like what I see on paper
hats off to the witch mains that pull this off
actually keep those on, love witch hats
hoary summit
I enjoyed recluse, it did become constraining though when teammates focused on one element versus varied but some runs just clicked
steel seal
I rather bonk with big hammer
spring kiln
I rather bonk with big hammer
Unga bunga mindset for the win
steel seal
After Radahn I used his great swords and played leapfrog with the enemies to beat the rest of the game
languid bane
bitter oar
Just encountered a pretty bad bug
I dont think relics, or at least certain relic effects, are applied if you disconnect and reconnect
I was just in a group as a Guardian with another Guardian and a Wylder (we did no fucking damage and died to Adel at lvl 14)
But for night 2 we got Ancient Dragon
My game crashed with it at like 60% hp
I tried to reconnect, loaded in, got a network error that wouldnt resolve after trying to reconnect for a minute
Closed the game, force closed the programmed, booted it back up, reconnected
The Ancient Dragon was STILL at like 20% hp
But afterwards my healing over time relic wasnt working
Which was REALLY BAD when I needed to use it to try and save lives
spring kiln
mori is playing nightreign 
spring kiln
I dont think relics, or at least certain relic effects, are applied if you disco...
potentially this has happened to me since I've had to reconnect to some matches but I don't keep the effects of my relics in mind when I'm playing 
although in my case I didn't have to fully close the game, just went back from main menu
bitter oar
Decided to go through and mark all the large relics I have that I liked
Everything else can go
Money time
Oh yeah
bitter oar
Sure wish my game would STOP CRASHING
Crashed right as we were killing the night 2 boss, missed out on the souls...
Would you be shocked if you heard I hadnt tried the centaur's relic on Guardian yet
Because HOLY SHIT
It makes guard counters WAY stronger
Like 100% stronger
Maybe not always 100%, might vary by weapon
But a very noticable large boost
spring kiln
IT IS DONE
languid bane
Very nice
spring kiln
steel seal
I just need crater and that dumb inventory one and I’m done
languid bane
I need 3 and then I will be done
spring kiln
i'm going to take a break from the game now for a little bit, get back onto expo 33
steel seal
After I gave Duchess rivers of blood and the malenia blade we bullied the heck outta the dog
bitter oar
So apparently in the OST there are very obvious "third phase" part of boss songs
But they didnt seem to get used
People are thinking that the hard mode fights might be what these are for. The fights might actually be different
spring kiln
i'm going to take a break from the game now for a little bit, get back onto expo...
I said that, but I shared that I got all achievments in another server and we got chatting about other fromsoft games. I'm going back to sekrio and getting the last two achievments I need to 100% it.

Libra Phase 3 where it's just a giant ball of Frenzy
bitter oar
Libra Phase 3 where he just summons Midra
languid bane
bitter oar
Didnt even know art guage from guarding was a thing... very close to being a great relic if it was large
bitter oar
Darkness Recluse is so damn pretty I think if she was real I'd explode
she looks fantastic
west summit
Real
west summit
Hell yeah
bitter oar
I feel like when you get a bad roll as a spellcaster it feels worse than getting bad weapons
Because there arent really many bad weapons
And the ashes dont really make the weapon
But the spells absolutely make the casting tool
You could have 250 spellboost and get stuck with just lightning spear and rejection
west summit
Pass
bitter oar
Theres so many spells and incantations in the game I still just never see
bitter oar
It doesnt help half the bosses are weak to holy and even in the base game being a holy caster is kinda awful
west summit
Antspur raiper, some kinda katana, poison scythe
bitter oar
You get Discus, which is REALLY good but is attached to a SINGLE epic rarity seal
Havent seen triple rings yet
Got Radagon's Ring once and its alright but not really single target material
Havent seen Bloom
Not even Pest Threads or something
west summit
Pest threads exists and it fucks
bitter oar
They stuck all the utility spells in the pool... for a game where you wanna kill as fast as possible
Like, no I DONT want Rejection when I can summon a pumpkin head to beat my enemies to death
Dont even get the GOOD utlity spells like Protection of the Erdtree, or Erdtree Heal
Just get all the shitty ones
west summit
Rng is a bitch
bitter oar
This could MAYBE be helped if they gave us SotE seals
Because that one seal would pretty much guaranteed have Miquella's Rings on it
spring kiln
I feel like when you get a bad roll as a spellcaster it feels worse than getting...
I felt that a bit on a recluse run against the dragon, I had close range spells but nothing long range
bitter oar
And that spell FUCKS
And Miquella's Light would arguably be actually broken in this game
Since it has basically infinite range, limited only by your lockon
And our lockon is basically infinite in the Nightlord arena
Maybe an infinite range orbital laser would make a pretty good revive tool
sharp bluff
Feel free to add me for shenanigans
spring kiln
same here
west summit
is there not a geegoids group or anything?
like, not the group password but the other thing
spring kiln
I think you do mean the group password, the 5 you can type into, only other thing is the matchmaking password at the top.
spring kiln
is there not a geegoids group or anything?
I did ask about this the other week, doesn't seem like we do.
west summit
can't we just start putting it on and it'll work
inner trench
I forget how passwords worked in Elden Ring, will it only pull from Password-members or just give them priority?
languid bane
Not sure
languid bane
Bro, legit the last two games I played this douch was at the bottom of the castle and just one shot all of us at the sametime
languid bane
Bro, is stronger than all of the nightlords
bitter oar
Runs can and will get thrown just because you try to spend 5 minutes fighting him
languid bane
It's crazy bc if you find him anywhere else in the world he is easy but if he is at the bottom of the castle then he is unstoppable
bitter oar
Also his grab hitbox is so damn disjointed
Feels like a DS2 grab
I dont remember it being this bad in ER
spring kiln
The pass should probably be pinned then
let's go with geegoids than
does all caps matter with these group passwords?
spring kiln
some do and some don't go for all caps
west summit
Caps because duh
west summit
Put that on instantly.
spring kiln
are ari, henya and mouse the only vshojo members that have played nightreign so far?
looks like it at least on the yt side
languid bane
Did you mean to put zen?
spring kiln
Did you mean to put zen?
if zen has, i missed it
languid bane
Also ama has played as well
spring kiln
oh nice
languid bane
Ya. Ama played with cyyu and I forgot who the 3rd was
sharp bluff
Zen's played Nightreign a few times now
She was in that tourney with Limes and Doki a couple weeks ago
bitter oar
I like how they havent changed the group password tooltip so it still says we'll see bloodstains and phantoms from other players
spring kiln
https://fxtwitter.com/Keith_Garces/status/1933298999231975809
i hope they keep making more nightreign posts
bitter oar
Its the biggest weapon she can have, technically
spring kiln
X
west summit
hoary summit
Bell bearing hunter is by far the most confusing fight as I remember he was pretty easy week1 and since then the dude consistently ruins runs especially if under the central castle
languid bane
The one under the castle is the only one I have issues with. If he is anywhere else he is easy to deal with as a team but under the castle he just team wipes and one shots everyone
bitter oar
It just doesnt help being in a confined space against him
Where his range is the strongest
I guess people figured out how to back port Nightreign stuff pretty fast
Which means... if they can figure out how to mod Nightfarer abilities in, new mods for Elden Ring might got CRAZY
For all the new assets they bring, but also all the functionality they can rework
west summit
Triple rings exists, I got it yesterday
bitter oar
I have seen it maybe twice, but not during any of my revenant runs
languid bane
luckily havent run into him the last few runs and im doing the 3 nightlords in a row achievement right now and need 1 more win to get it
steel seal
Crater plz show up soon it’s all I need
languid bane
got my 3 nightlords slain in a row
so now gotta use each character to slay a nightlord
bitter oar
west summit
servers are dogshit tonight
bitter oar
Pro tip apparently
If you disconnect in the middle of a nightlord fight and come back
You get set back to 1 near death bar, get all your estus back, and all your items back
Hypothetically, a Guardian or someone could play stall while exhausted teammates disconnect and come back refreshed within like a minute
languid bane
interesting
bitter oar
I should note about prior tip, disconnecting may also break your relics. Or it did that one time for me
Kinda hard to test in the moment
But that was two disconnects back to back
I wanna say my relics probably werent working since my Duchess wasnt proccing her skill off dagger attacks iirc
languid bane
now time to get the final achievment i need to get a nightlord with each character. i just need to do with birdman, ironeye, beastboy and recluse
spring kiln
languid bane
birdman and beastboy are the last two i need now
spring kiln
languid bane
sharp bluff
I hated them in ER, now it's evolved into something higher
Probably my biggest run killer outside of a poorly-timed Margit invasion
bitter oar
The one under the castle is just such an anomaly I dont understand why its so strong
It feels as strong or STRONGER than the one that appears on TOP of the castle
It has to be a scaling mistake or something
sharp bluff
I don't think I've run into the basement one yet, somehow, but the one up top has killed a couple runs for sure
bitter oar
Maybe caused by the fact that there can be 2 of the same boss that spawn in basically the exact same spot
languid bane
I don't think I've run into the basement one yet, somehow, but the one up top ha...
Be thankful for that lol
sharp bluff
Especially when my RNG blows, I run Recluse or Revenant a lot and sometimes I just get fucked in terms of spell drops
I spent 2/3 days in one run with just the claws 
Which let me raise some spirits but she's just so squishy
languid bane
Ya, if you are playing magic revenant then you have to get really lucky with spells or find atleast lightning bolt bc she does giga damage with it
Especially if you pair it with a rune that has +2 or +3 lightning damage
sharp bluff
Yeah finding seals feels like such a pain compared to staves
languid bane
Ya, i did a final run with recluse and I didnt get a staff with actually good spells until the final day before the day 3 boss
sharp bluff
Feels like you kind of have to hit the fort asap if you're close, seems like there's always at least one staff rack and seal altar there
languid bane
or go to one of the high difficulty areas
sharp bluff
spring kiln
west summit
spring kiln
bewitching
languid bane
knowing my luck i would fall into the lava
bitter oar
Man
2 Recluse and an Ironeye against Astel
Is not the play
We got him to phase 2 and then he just started murdering us
Also apparently Recluse's elemental residues arent exclusive to each Recluse
One Recluse grabbing the residue will remove it for the other Recluse
I guess its like a hidden status effect
languid bane
One Recluse grabbing the residue will remove it for the other Recluse
oh thats interesting
i think i have only been on 2 teams that have beaten astel
i always try to go to that part of the map on day 2 but either none of them want to go or they decide to go late and we run out of time
bitter oar
Yeah I've learned you just have to go there immediately at the start of night 2 if you want any time left over
Can kill the black knife
Can kill the 2 mausoleum knights
But thats about all the time afforded to you
Kill stuff on your way out, not on the way in
languid bane
Yup, bc you need all that time to kill astel bc how tanky he is
bitter oar
Also I meant Adel in the messages before
But an Astel would also be awful for 2 Recluses
languid bane
Ya, I usually try to go and kill astel for the free legendary upgrade and there are a handful of mini bosses to kill there too along with the dragonkin
bitter oar
Last night for the very first time in like 70 hours of expeditions I got the night horde event
I was very confused when it happened
They GOTTA increase the odds of random events happening
forest helm
yeah I still haven't seen the mausoleum
inner trench
I’ve seen the Locusts more than all other events combined
forest helm
I think a lot of people stop playing before even seeing half the events
bitter oar
Legit it needs to be at least a 50/50 that you see a random event like that
You should feel unlucky if you dont get one
bitter oar
That reminded me, I wanted to look up one of his deals to see what it says it does
Apparently his "I wish for eventual greatness" deal TRIPLES your hp, fp, and stamina
But halves all your stats
I dont know how that shakes out since you get those from your stats
But the 2 times I got it as Guardian I just could not die
I thought it was because I had massive defenses, but I think it mightve been because my hp was just SO HIGH every hit I took felt very minor
Since the hp bar has a limit on its size I think, so it just starts making the hits you do take look smaller
Insane deal, especially if I dont care as much about my damage
west summit
the deals make him stronger if you're fighting him for day 3
bitter oar
He doesnt offer that one on day 3, only if you pay his curse
bitter oar
Really? Havent seen it yet then. Id still take it depending on the character
languid bane
i am so bad with using guardian
bitter oar
You just gotta block and guard counter
Preferably with halberds for that sweet charge distance
languid bane
ya, idk i guess i am just doing something wrong.
hoary summit
Super block isnt well explained thought blocking normally was what it was
bitter oar
Yeaaaah I found it out by accident
Because I was trying to dodge out of block
Its not super well explained
But it is VERY powerful against most bosses
languid bane
Ya, I was in the practice area trying the button layout shown and couldn't get it to activate or do it
bitter oar
Apparently the actual effect of Guardian's trait
Is that he gets a 5x guardboost multiplier while its active
So I imagine he just takes 20% stamina damage
forest helm
Devs want to know your opinions
https://survey.bandainamcoent.co.jp/jfe/form/SV_ezFcLevNV9hPkSa
give us MORE make it live service
languid bane
legit first time seeing one of these in the almost 80hrs of playing
west summit
I've seen 1 in almost as much time.
bitter oar
So they DONT spawn on the mountain?
Okay I've definitely never seen one then
Also, interesting list of other games they got here...
inner trench
All of them make sense, though only RoR as the roguelike representative is funny
west summit
You could argue (poorly) that BR's are roguelikes
bitter oar
Made an impulse buy
west summit
Whoa
spring kiln
become john nightreign
bitter oar
Wylder is far and away the coolest John Souls of any of these games, in style and in gameplay
languid bane
Just played a game with 3 executors
You know when nobody pins where they want to go and I have to do it the whole time and then they separate and go different ways. I know then the run is cooked
languid bane
if anyone wants to buy the helmet too https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2622380/view/585018505747764811
bitter oar
While supplies last. Theyre only making 9999
languid bane
Ya, this dude is a run killer
bitter oar
languid bane
bitter oar
That Bell Bearing Hunter gives 60k when he dies, he's absolutely supposed to be the version on top of the castle
languid bane
Does he atleast drop legendary loot?
inner trench
He can, it’s purple tier minimum iirc
languid bane
With how hard/how much of a pain in the ass he is. He should be dropping legendary
bitter oar
Ended up losing that run against Heolstor. Just too much time wasted. We got ambushed real badly by a Morgott in a Condemned Castle while we were all in a corner, which wasted some time, and then team wiping against the Bell Bearing hunter which wasted minutes
If one or the other hadnt happened we wouldve had time to probably kill 1 or 2 bosses in the Scarlet Rot forest and be way stronger going into Heolstor
We just did no damage and got no good drops
sharp bluff
languid bane
true. i just stare at him and then dip
bitter oar
sharp bluff
Bugs, balance or both 
languid bane
languid bane
Bugs, balance or both <:Hmm:889032126622728192>
probably both especially bc this is coming after they did that whole survey
sharp bluff
Ohh, true
languid bane
plot twist they are buffing the bell bearing hunter under the castle
sharp bluff
He can now throw the shield and sword at the same time
languid bane
he can now reach the entrance with his sword
sharp bluff
He no longer leashes, once aggro'd he just keeps stalking you
languid bane
he now meets you at the entrance of the cave
bitter oar
He can now teleport around like a mausoleum knight
Also they probably dont have any changes to reflect that survey yet. I dunno if we got to it late but it'd take a lot longer to parse any responses and decide what to act on
I do hope the Bell Bearing Hunter is changed though
He is very clearly the wrong one
bitter oar
Yeah I wasnt sold on this game til release but I keep coming back to it
Havent burnt out yet
languid bane
ya, this game surprised me. i didnt think i would have as much fun as i have been having with it
sharp bluff
Same, I thought I wouldn't like playing with randos but it's been fun overall
languid bane
ya, plus whenever you get paired with some giga good randos too
and just go around slaying everything
cant wait to see what they add. i really hope they add different maps and areas.
we really need more final day boss variety too
bitter oar
Honestly I think playing with randos is part of the fun and challenge. I do wish you could at least like, ping the other players specifically
I find myself dropping loot for other people a lot and they just dont seem to notice a lot of the time
bitter oar
You havent gotten the sentient pest raid yet? That one seems like the most common one to me, though still not common
Fucker spawns across the map and just steals your shit
west summit
I've seen it once
languid bane
I find myself dropping loot for other people a lot and they just dont seem to no...
I have seen people ping items on the map but haven't figure out how they were doing that and repeatedly pinging locations as they were moving
I think i have had it happen twice. The first time back when I first started and the again a couple days ago
sharp bluff
Yeah like I know "Recluse small but weapon big" is fun and funny but if I get anything like that on her I always attempt to drop it for Raider or one of the melee guys
languid bane
I am guessing it's just a key bind change that you can do so you can ping whenever and wherever and not just on the map
Probably have to be on mnk bc i use my Xbox controller and didnt see anything when I looked through the settings
west summit
Hold x/a (ps/xbox) and press left stick to tag items or location
languid bane
Oh ok I will try that when I get back on
bitter oar
This run is a bit rediculous
Flame of Frenzy has been putting in WORK the entire game
west summit
three legendaries
sharp bluff
Goddamn 
bitter oar
I threw
I mean we all kinda got blown up, I was a lot of our damage
But I shouldve played it safer
Goddamn Flame of Frenzy hits hard though
Also neat thing about Revenant's Art I found out
Makes you totally immune to deathblight while the death prevention is active
west summit
Neat
languid bane
now to finish the other remembrances. i still need to finish wylder, guardian, executor, recluse, ironeye and raiders
bitter oar
Its happened again
Ended up being a dicey finish against Libra. Had to use our Nokstella revive to get up and beat his ass at the last 10%
Also shoutout to Bloodflame Talon
It apparently hits really, really fucking hard in this game
sharp bluff
Would be really funny if Bleed was at its old ER value before nerfs
bitter oar
I got a really crazy modifier on a weapon I hadnt ever seen before
It added like a 100 damage magic explosion to every charge attack with my dagger
I was just spamming charge attacks and CHUNKING enemies
Kinda wild
bitter oar
The MLGS from above? Probably but dude had 2 Golden Order Greatswords
west summit
LOL
bitter oar
I got the Mohg poker from a guy who had one that duplicated his
west summit
Cracked run
bitter oar
Yeah that one went kinda crazy
bitter oar
X
By madness weapons do they mean just the one madness weapon in the game
Because there is only one
Or can normal weapons now get madness affinities too?
So not a huge patch
Maybe the most notable things to me
So hopefully the curse event doesnt disappear in 30 seconds anymore, and maybe Guardian's Whirlwind is less blinding
Yeah thats way better
inner trench
Or can normal weapons now get madness affinities too?
This is how I’m reading it but I’m sure people will have found a definitive answer by now
bitter oar
Its just a bit funny and cruel to make Libra's stated weakness madness and then only have madness available on like, 2 weapons
Or you get lucky rolling a frenzy incantation on a random seal
languid bane
i am assuming they are going to have more weapons have madness on them
not just vyke's spear
i have gotten that spear like twice and it is so good
languid bane
forest helm
anyone want to grp up?
bitter oar
Libra so fucked
languid bane
Nice
I'm on the final step for recluse's remembrance and have to kill the giga nightlord
forest helm
that is not too bad he is fun
languid bane
Ya, made an attempt last night and got him to half health on 2nd phase
I just got screwed with spells bc i didnt get a single staff that had any good spells
I have some better relics on her now after doing her remembrance. It actually gives you a couple of really good ones
bitter oar
Libra got fucking OBLITERATED holy shit
I just got to stand really far away the whole fight spamming Frenzied Burst
Also we lost a player early on. So just me and a Duchess running the map
A late Sentient Pest kinda saved us, gave us a TON of extra runes in the last half of the 2nd day
Frenzied Burst hits like a goddamn truck
Got 2 madness procs on Libra
Lvl 14 Frenzied Burst with an epic seal hitting for 1k a shot
languid bane
Well atleast we know the madness drops are dropping more frequently now
bitter oar
This is the kind of greed the Bible speaks of
Got a Vykes spear at some point in the run and never gave it to me
Wished for a weapon and got the fingerprint shield
languid bane
Damn
Ya, that spear is goated
I got it from a madness tower event once and then from the bottom of the volcano another run
spring kiln
forest helm
buffed boss just dropped
languid bane
Probably one of the most annoying bosses aside from the centaur
bitter oar
What do you mean buffed boss
west summit
ex mode
steel seal
I have fought it once already and that thing is a Tasmanian devil
bitter oar
Oh shit I didnt even see that at the bottom
They didnt even announce that at all what the hell
steel seal
I literally just saw it
bitter oar
Thats fucked up
Stealth dropping a hard mode boss
Time to go get my shit kicked in by it I guess
I'm busting out the Ironeye for my first attempt
languid bane
Welp guess I know what I will be attempting when I get home
Of course they would make the most pain in the ass boss the first hard mode boss
west summit
I'd take jaw over libra
languid bane
Just saw videos and holy shit that shit looks insane
spring kiln
you can change the room back to pre final boss discovery now?
languid bane
I think you could always do that. I just never did it
spring kiln
really?
I just saw a guy on yt change it and i don't recognise what he interacted with
languid bane
Ya, bc it gives you a prompt after you beat him and return to the round table
bitter oar
I have never once looked at that board
Time for my first shot at the new Adel
I won through the power of being Ironeye
I will say though, I was NOT expecting as much of a change as it was
spring kiln
bitter oar
If Adel was akin to Diablos, this is Black Diablos
languid bane
This makes me happy that they are doing sneak updates like this and adding hard mode bosses
bitter oar
Or Bloodbath Diablos
spring kiln
it's located to the right as you exit the door going to the sea, near where one of the spots ironeye can be
bitter oar
My run as a whole though was EXTREMELY anti-Adel in drops. Got multiple resistance increases, a very good poison bow, just a solid run albeit pretty vanilla
If it were not hard mode Adel I couldve totally been grabbed by him and not bled
This Adel does twice as much bleed buildup though
He might actually bleed you twice in a single grab if you have no resistance upgrades
Oh my god new urns
Oh my god new relics
Oh shit you can buy skins here too...
That makes one run of these hard mode bosses technically worth like 35k runes...
The Revenant relic...
No fucking shot they just GIVE you one of these
I was thinking earlier that this would be a perfect relic I would stick on every character, if I had one
I mean, I'd take extra runes instead of treasure marking but its pretty damn close
I WANTED A RELIC OF THIS EFFECT THAT DIDNT SUCK DICK
Its a strong boost too I think. Revenant support goes crazy when you pop her art
15 seconds of go stupid go crazy
These Relics are so good...
A bit annoying you have to pay to alter the site of grace, and I have no idea why they'd make you pay to swap between the cracked brooch and the normal brooch
They're the exact same item
But very cool we can now get shifting earth whenever we want
If hard mode Adel goes this crazy I am absolutely dreading whatever the fuck they do with Libra and Centaur
I dont even know what you do with Libra, he doesnt have a conventional phase 2
bitter oar
Round 2 against super Adel. This run was not as anti-Adel
So lets see how it goes
Much closer, very close to losing
If I were not Ironeye I would surely be suffering more
Oh damnit you get less sigils on subsequent expeditions...
So the FIRST one is worth a lot. The next ones are still relatively worth a lot, but not as much
bitter oar
Its such a crazy cool alternative fight
I think the Diablos to Bloodbath Diablos comparison is fair
spring kiln
alright let's give this boss a go
languid bane
gonna eat and then try and hope i get good randoms on the 
matchmaking
spring kiln
we lost cohesion during the tornado stuff
languid bane
the two randoms i got are good. we are entering the boss arena now. 2 of us are lvl 14 and one lvl 15
welp we got him to half health and he did the dive bomb thing and got two of us down in his dome area
giga gaping jaw is crazy
spring kiln
cry
languid bane
its actually really cool that they added new stuff for free and didnt say a word
spring kiln
sucks that it does cost anything but since it's just one of these sigils and only needed for the first time, i'll let it slide
stupid question, curved greatswords do count towards his follow up relic trait, not just normal greatswords?
steel seal
I tried and they don’t work only greatswords
languid bane
fml had him at 25% health left
spring kiln
So the FIRST one is worth a lot. The next ones are still relatively worth a lot,...
maybe this will apply to the first clear of other buffed nightlords when they come
bitter oar
I saw someone say the Everdark boss may be a weekly rotation? Dunno where they mightve gotten that info though
So maybe next week we'll have a new one. That'd be crazy
inner trench
They said it in the update post
Adel, Pest and Centaur for now, the others will arrive later
inner trench
Absolutely, and funily enough this game is getting more frequent support than any Capcom live service game atm 
bitter oar
It is impressive they basically launched with 3 ATs in their back pocket
I wonder if they made the full fight first and then cut it down, or started with the vanilla fight and then suped them up
inner trench
I'm excited to try him out this weekend
bitter oar
My Wylder helmet is showin up todqy
languid igloo
man the centaur gonna be soo fucked
languid igloo
gapping jaw starts made me say, yoo yoo chill i just spawned you
languid bane
The giga nightlord is gonna fuck whenever that gets made into hard mode
Bro gonna have 3 phases
west summit
Better have at least one more arm
spring kiln
i wish i could sell items at the merchant on day 3 so i can make the difference between what i got and what i need for another lvl if possible
languid bane
Ya, that would be cool if we could sell weapons to the merchants around the map
spring kiln
dark souls squad!
languid bane
You are now John nightreign
bitter oar
John Nightreign has a big head
Damn I guess I have a big head then
I dont know how Wylder sees out of this
wheat bison
He clearly can't see because he (I) always whiffs his grapple and ult
inner trench
Holy
spring kiln
dark souls squad!
we didn't win
ngl i did poorly in that fight
the raider held onto a poison weapon i wanted the duchess to pick up
bitter oar
Time for my first non-Ironeye run against super Adel
bitter oar
Time for my first non-Ironeye run against super Adel
It was close cause the Ironeye we did have didnt seem to know the mechanics
He learned them though
It came down to just me having to take off the last 3% of his hp and quite a few ults being used to revive downed allies
Pretty nice
This one almost feels like a Raider relic
west summit
Duchess would do good with that one
bitter oar
Prayerful strike on a dagger? I guess that doesnt make it any worse for healing
bitter oar
So what the hell is that
Lost my first super Adel fight cause we had an Ironeye that just insisted on not dodging any of Adel's mechanics
So that wasnt great
Just stood in melee shooting Adel when he was revving up his giant lightning explosion
languid bane
So what the hell is that
i honestly wouldnt be surprised if they introduce another harder boss after all the hard mode bosses are released
bitter oar
Finally... the Soldier of God(rick)
spring kiln
Return of the king
spring kiln
bitter oar
I failed an Adel fight cause I did not understand when to interrupt him to stop him from making the storm
Note: Its not after he starts forming it
lusty narwhal
Just stood in melee shooting Adel when he was revving up his giant lightning exp...
im confused on this. do you have to stagger or stun him out of it or is there something im missing?
bitter oar
If you stop him from doing the giant lightning explosion I think it also interrupts the tornado formation
Oh if you mean standing near it
No just run away
There is no counter besides staggering him
Adel fight so damn tense you forget the entire team had the Nokstella revive
lusty narwhal
going in for round 3
languid bane
gonna try again tomorrow. the randoms i get go down so fast as soon as phase 2 starts
atleast the ones i have had the 3 games i have played so far
spring kiln
This one almost feels like a Raider relic
i wish there was a fanmade relic optimiser i could consult sometimes
i think what i have assembled in my chalices are good
spring kiln
best spot for an ambush, for us
2nd win
with edge of order for iron eye, i don't really see when i would be doing thrusting counterattacks with ironeye
bitter oar
Whenever the enemy is attacking
languid bane
languid igloo
if anybody wanan nightreign i can
languid bane
I will be on later after I get off work
bitter oar
Adel is a LOT easier to fight when you just jump all his shockwaves
Just crushed a super Adel in like 3 minutes or something it feels like cause I interrupted its first phase change and the tornado just never spawned
languid bane
Nice
bitter oar
bitter oar
Been playing Wylder the last few times, he really is just cool
Its nice to at least not have to play catch up with bosses as they run around
bitter oar
Pretty good...
bitter oar
X
west summit
Real as fuck
bitter oar
Me in the back last match as Ironeye fighting Adel
Some really poor early decision making had us VERY poorly prepared for the fight but I'm basically learned Adel and Ironeye can dodge for days
I had his aggro for like 80% of the fight
Was hardly doing any damage but its better than my allies going down and not being able to do any damage
For some reason our Duchess kept trying to just sit in his explosion...
spring kiln
Whenever the enemy is attacking
maybe i'm missing something but i wouldn't be running a shield with ironeye in the first place normally
i'm at range away from the enemy outside of using the skill
west summit
Counter attacks don't have to do with shields, do they?
bitter oar
Its any thrusting attack that happens while an enemy is attacking
Shields make it easier, obviously. If you can just sit there and shield poke
Did they make parrying easier in this game or did I just never lose my edge against crucible knights
Cause I parried the shit out of every crucible knight I fought in this run as Wylder
spring kiln
Its any thrusting attack that happens while an enemy is attacking
might do some practice than
languid bane
time to try giga gaping jaw
languid bane
the ost is always so good
spring kiln
bitter oar
For what purpose does Revenant have 2 urns that are just the same colors but in opposite order...
wheat bison
it's to manage relics that have conflicting effects like "Starting armament inflicts frost." If you have two of these types of effects, only the left-most one applies. So with these chalices you can move your relics around to have the effects in your preferred order
bitter oar
That is very minor give me more red slots
bitter oar
Does anyone know if the relic effect that increases damage when doing evergaols applies to spells too? I dont think it does
I think its just weapons isnt it?
I guess it should... because I know for a fact Recluse's blood loss effect MASSIVELY boosts her attack power
Damn I guess I am just running this evergaol relic on literally everyone
Really the only thing Revenant might not need here is the full heal on her art. Cause I've been thinking about it. Its 15 seconds of undeath
Every time I use it or see someone use it I think to myself "go crazy go stupid"
So how useful really is a full heal when you cant die and its probably best used to take as much damage as possible while doing as much damage as possible?
I guess it varies, but getting a better relic would probably be harder
west summit
languid bane
I can't even beat him the normal way
bitter oar
I've been fighting him nonstop so I've got the fight down pretty well now
I guess its not that different from normal Adel, but Adel was also already the most basic fight
So anything else and we might start having problems
languid bane
Ya, I can survive and do damage. I just get paired with some Randoms that dont know how to dodge
bitter oar
I've been lucky with that, I guess. My experience with randoms past the launch day has been pretty good
languid bane
I had some that will leave after just dying once
sharp bluff
I got a lot of those the last time I played, really frustrating
languid bane
Ya, I usually will give them a few mins bc i have had some that genuinely disconnected and would return but if not then the run is over
bitter oar
I had a dude disconnect in the spirit shelter and then the other guy would not leave the entrance and it took like 10 minutes but the guy actually did come back
west summit
I take more of a "random bullshit, go" strat
bitter oar
Just got paired with a Guardian that seemingly refused to block and just wanted to sit back with a ballistae
That didnt work
bitter oar
Man that "increase FP with 3 staves" equipped relic for Recluse is REALLY fucking potent
Makes me wonder how strong the other boosts are cause I never use them
Its like a 30% boost
And then the "open a magician's rise" one is another 15% or so it seems like
You very quickly stop worrying about any FP with that relic on
Also, I feel like this is something you guys may not have noticed and something the game doesnt tell you
But dodging through an enemy's grab attack, the kind of dodge where you fly extra far to dive past them
Gives you a pretty big chunk of your ult charge
west summit
I knew that one
bitter oar
Like 10% at least. Its very noticable
west summit
I noticed it on jaw
bitter oar
Yeah its very noticable on Adel. You can get your ult back super fast if you hold his aggro
languid bane
Man that "increase FP with 3 staves" equipped relic for Recluse is REALLY fuckin...
ya, i have that on her and it helps so much
i have that on one of my revenant builds too
when i want to run a magic revenant
bitter oar
Makes me wonder how strong the other boosts are cause I never use them
Remmebered I could test that, its 10%
bitter oar
Man if Bloodhound's Step was broken in Elden Ring, its even more broken in this game
Truly infinite iframes
bitter oar
Just played with the most ass Ironeye I've ever seen
No offense, but full offense
Gave him a Radahn Greatbow from one of my drops early on at lvl 7
He used it at lvl 7 when he could not effectively use it
When he got to lvl 10, did not use rain of arrows NEARLY enough
For some reason carried around a Prince of Death's staff and kept trying to use Meteorite of Astel
Then would spend the next 30 seconds trying to cast a spell with no FP
I think I mostly solo'd Adel at the end, and had to do like the last 30% of his hp by myself when he went down with 3 bars
Adel shouldve been torn to pieces by Rain of Arrows but I'm pretty sure he blew his fp on a Meteorite of Astel that did nothing
languid bane
bruh this game screwed me over. one of the guys that got downed got down and sent to the bottom of the map so we couldnt rez him
languid bane
finally. had a godly ironeye and recluse
west summit
whoa starting dagger jumpscare
languid bane
Ya, I run the relic that puts ice and poison on it
And does a ice mist that makes me momentarily invisible
But procs a ton of blood loss
We actually almost full wiped with him having like 15% health. Luckily I had my ult and got them both up
sharp bluff
bitter oar
Guardian just isnt it against Adel. Dude moves around way too much
You're just always playing catchup
Plus the shockwaves are annoying to block
spring kiln
I wonder which boss will be the next enhanced one we will fight
the splitted dogs all get a sword when they go into their buffed phase or something
bitter oar
Well from what we know, we've got Sentient Pest and Centaur already made
One of them should rotate in this week
Both of them sound... like it could just be awful
inner trench
Centaur could be cool, pest just sounds like it could be even more annoying for melee
languid bane
Both are annoying
Pest isn't really all that hard. It's just more so annoying especially when he tries to use his orbital death ray
west summit
inb4 centaur gets two extra strong hands
languid bane
Bro is gonna zoom around more than he already does
bitter oar
Yes it is me Ironeye
Damn we got our asses beat that run
I legit didnt get a single seal the whole game
But Recluse can get enough staves to build a fucking house
west summit
rip
languid bane
ya, you have to get really lucky to get some great spells
west summit
I usually just try to get one good one
even if it's a common seal
like, I'll take force and black flame
spring kiln
Yes it is me Ironeye
the big weapon agenda is maintained even with bows
languid bane
gonna test and make a new duchess build with some of the relics from the new shop
bitter oar
Oh my god I did one run tonight and one guy left really early on
It was going pretty well with me and an Ironeye
We were trying to make it to the night 2 ring and we both died in the storm outside as the enemies spawned and just immediately lost the run
Didnt even make it to the fight itself
Shouldnt have done that ruins
languid bane
X
giga centaur is gonna be a nightmare
funny enough i have to kill the regular centaur for ironeye's remembrance
bitter oar
Oh no
languid bane
when he zooms around you are just going to see a blur and he is gonna coat the whole field in sludge
bitter oar
He will come through your screen and attack you personally as part of his phase 3
west summit
Bet
languid bane
had the god squad with this giga adel run. none of us went down and the recluse and wylder were insane
languid bane
my goat
languid bane
bruh had an executor in my game that did nothing the whole first phase of giga john nightlord and then just stood there for phase 2 until me and the other guy were down
and then he went down . i am like what was the point of not doing nothing
bitter oar
I mean I wouldnt say minimal effort. Takes 30 minutes to get there
west summit
only 30
languid bane
nah wasnt connection issues bc i was moving around following where the boss was making sure he wasnt near him
sharp bluff
Yeah I've heard if you get one it's hilarious how busted you can get just farming trash mobs
I've not seen one drop yet
bitter oar
Got lucky and got it immediately at the start of day 2
Kinda just snowballed really fast
bitter oar
Do you think they should bring back weapons from previous games for Nightreign? Spice up the loot pool a bit?
languid bane
i dont see why not
they use past souls bosses. so they could easily use weapons, mobs, areas and other things
spring kiln
Do you think they should bring back weapons from previous games for Nightreign? ...
along with more legacy bosses i don't see why not
give me artorias!
bitter oar
I think we just need more of certain weapon types
Especially legendaries
Gimme Artorias' Greatsword and Manus' Catalyst
spring kiln
some more madness and holy things
languid bane
we need more end day boss variety too
been playing ironeye and either there are hardly any bow variety or i am just extremely unlucky sometimes bc there are times when i get some crappy bows
sharp bluff
Yeah most of my Recluse runs I get nothing but junk, I had one where I had 3 Pebble staves lmao
bitter oar
There really arent many bows in the game, yeah
I mean there usually arent in Souls games. Only now in Elden Ring have bows been pretty alright
And now Ironeye makes them broken
Dragon Rider bow... now is your time...
Also the fuckin viking warrior greatbow from AoA
Bring THAT back
spring kiln
we need more end day boss variety too
a bit more variety for the end of day boss would be good, mainly for when you are going for the same nightlord repeatidly
bitter oar
There is some kinda issue with seeding, I see the same boss way too often
They should prioritize fighting something different every match
Theres only 3 players. You can make them fight something different every single match
languid bane
ya, fromsoft has alot of assets they could use from past games
we will see. i think they are probably thinking that and will implement more especially after all the surveys have been analyzed
spring kiln
I might make a push on the remaining remembrances I have left
languid bane
i just finished ironeye's
spring kiln
everyone from the bottom row is all still in progress
languid bane
i have raider, wylder, guardian, executor left and recluse i have one step left to do
spring kiln
languid bane
i just noticed that recluse doesnt have a dedicated relic in the new shop like the others do
languid bane
finally got a really good seal. this has been doing work
2 recluse and a duchess made ez work of john nighlord
probably the quickest i have killed that boss
and with that recluse remembrance is done
languid bane
comet azur is goated against giga adel
did a recluse run with a executor and guardian and i got a staff that had comet azur and it just metls him
these two staffs did work
spring kiln
well f*ck me
the run was going well then black knight kindred at the top of the castle and group cohesion went to 
i didn't so great near the end as i was trying to get my runes back while we were fighting it
then the night came in
we didn't even beat the damn thing, we were so close
languid bane
This giga adel run we won. we ran into the bell bearing hunter at the bottom of the castle and stayed and killed him. We all died once but had plenty of time and killed him. Dude is so unnecessarily tanky and does way too much damage and only drops purple gear
spring kiln
my reventant turned out a bit unique in this run...
shield was as big as her, i could barely see her legs
spring kiln
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
i was robbed!
wait we're somehow back, weird stuff is happening
we won?!
spring kiln
what would normally be in the last slot is the healing allies with my burst but the other substats aren't that great tbh
*replaced the first one with the portrait
i got that remembrance
i did have headphones on
yea on my monitor i could see an eye
spring kiln
new chapter 7 for raider didn't unlock after a nightlord victory
apparently i need to beat 4 different nightlords
spring kiln
nvm i unlocked it now
spring kiln
few attempts but i finished his remembrance
languid bane
time to get some last minute giga adel runs in
languid bane
the servers are trash right now. i have been dc'd like 5 times now
and once was at the boss door
spring kiln
had that one dc I posted about
quilted back to main menu after the initial reconnect prompt failed twice and when it came up again it worked
bitter oar
Wait is the centaur today?
languid bane
I thought it was tomorrow?
languid bane
Hopefully the servers are much better when i get off work tonight so I can try
bitter oar
If we can get 3, does anyone here wanna group up for first attempt at Fulghor?
languid bane
I wont be able to be on until after 11pm cst
If yall are still one then and want to run I'd be down
bitter oar
Time to see just how tough this horse is
languid bane
Good luck
languid bane
Rip
bitter oar
Team wiped in the middle of night 2 cause we got caught in the storm fighting a DTS
Oh well
Round 2, I'm goin Revenant
We got far in 1 go for lvl 5s
languid bane
Nice. I think i have only beat him once and that was last night bc the team i had were giga chads and knew what they were doing
Plus I had really great spells to for once
spring kiln
If we can get 3, does anyone here wanna group up for first attempt at Fulghor?
I can group up after work
I just need to sort out some important things first before bightreign
bitter oar
Oh my god
So I will say, Fulghor definitely has some of the coolest visuals in the game now
So far
He's just
SO COOL
They actually made his fight easier in some ways and harder in others. But if they didnt cut back on some of his kit, he'd be overwhelmingly difficult to deal with in this form
I will give one bit of advice though, and I see a trend going forward
In phase 3, boss weaknesses do not matter
Maybe for the raw damage dealt, but they will probably stop playing a factor in staggering bosses out of rage mechanics
So hey, dont feel as bad if you dont get a lightning weapon. It will not save you from him anyways
bitter oar
Network error again during the 2nd day
Its been during the second day every time now
One last shot tonight...
bitter oar
The last shot was a success
I found all the guard boost in the land and got a Haligtree Greatshield
And became unkillable
languid bane
Damn nice
languid bane
finally home and now time to try
languid bane
first attempt we all died to the boss
spring kiln
booting up the game and having a go
languid bane
welp three attempts and no good
spring kiln
i got good wands
we were doing so well!
bad timing on our takedowns
this move was crazy
spring kiln
<:geegaWoah:1019373705769525299>
that was the only good wand i had in that run, everything else was those pebble wands with carian slicer
spring kiln
recluse's remembrance is complete
this run i was being FEED so much by my teammates, i had only one slot that was not filled by a purple staff
there was so much, almost had decision analysis paralyses
wait that didn't complete the remembrance? i don't have a page with art
i did the thing in the ending area
turns out i just had to go to the bed in the roundtable afterwards
bitter oar
Yeah, one last talk
bitter oar
Yeah one of the nicest skins in the game for sure
spring kiln
idk what this guy is thinking, he is using it a lot
it looks like he is switch back to the bow for the final fight but i also feel like this guy might be throwing cause he went on his own so much
we did win
bitter oar
Yipee
Fight goes a very different direction compared to Adel, imo
He is the Champion to Iudex Gundyr
Almost an entirely different fight, really. Not strictly harder in every way, but probably still a lot harder
spring kiln
i was not expecting the stuff they brought in for his special phase
bitter oar
He really stole Loretta's whole flow but did it way cooler
languid bane
back from my 2 mile run and now to do some runs on nightreign 
bitter oar
They should bring back Friede's Scythes and Priscilla's Scythe as legendary scythes
languid bane
giga centaur is down. i was dead weight that fight as recluse. i had shit spells and wasnt getting any good drops
spring kiln
yea getting bad wands as a recluse feels rough
languid bane
Ya, kind of sucks bc i just felt like dead weight bc i couldn't really do much damage
languid bane
minor osprey
its time!
languid bane
Good luck on your journey and if you want to squad up anytime I'm down
minor osprey
i'll def be pinging around here and there
gonna try to learn the game a bit solo first then yea
languid bane
Sounds good
minor osprey
oh fun
languid bane
Yup
bitter oar
I've been trying to play Revenant into Everdark Fulghor
Has not been going incredibly
All my lightning damage being locked to 1 seal isnt great
And I'm starting to just take issue with some of her kit
Her revive is useful but not nearly as useful as Guardian's, besides the utility that it has huge range
The summon hyper buff isnt as useful because its tied to summons
It sucks that if you revive someone with it they dont get the undeath buff or the full heal relic benefit
minor osprey
hmm im probably gonna learn how to play John Nightreign for a bit before i try other folks out
languid bane
Wylder is fun
west summit
shield parry and quality
minor osprey
i've just been two handing great swords lol
west summit
same
spring kiln
even when I don't mean to the game just gives me large weapons when I run her
languid bane
it knows
minor osprey
it knows your preference lol
spring kiln
I do want to run magic revanent too fromsoft
had one big run with rev where I was using the lighting spears and dragon claw
languid bane
I do want to run magic revanent too fromsoft
only big bonk weapons for you
bitter oar
Need Dryleaf Seal so badly
Even if its an epic, or fuck it, a legendary. We dont have a legendary seal right now I think
They give you Multilayered Ring of Light and you should basically be able to win the run
sharp bluff
languid bane
Lol
Seen clips of people aura farming that moment and shooting magic or standing guard especially if the shot is aimed towards them
sharp bluff
X
languid bane
Bottom right is very accurate lol. I usually run in and do a circle if I see him and dip right back out
I have only been on one team that has successfully beaten him
sharp bluff
Yeah once is all I've managed too
Absolutely juiced Wylder ripped him apart while me on Recluse and an Ironeye plinked from range
languid bane
I am assuming the devs made the one that appears under the castle OP on purpose bc he is a cake walk if you find him anywhere on the map or as a end day boss. I just wish he actually dropped legendary loot instead of only purple especially for all the effort that has to go into taking him down
languid bane
Oof
bitter oar
I think I'm firmly in the camp that Fulghor is a little too easy. Just had a god awful run where our Guardian disconnected for the entire first day and we had a Revenant with nothing really good, but I could clutch it up against him as Executor, who I also never play and am not great with, and slowly kill him between having to wait for my ult to revive my team
He just doesn't have enough good kill options
His big nuke should actually just kill you if it hits raw. Insane that even squishier characters can eat a direct hit and walk away from it
And he kinda just has an issue where he overshoots a lot of his attacks if you just hug him closely
He's cool, he's probably harder than normal Fulghor and he's a way more interesting fight, but he's a little too forgiving with how often he attacks and how little damage he does
When you fucked up against Adel you just died a lot of the time. I get Fulghor hits more often so they probably toned down his individual hits, but they gotta make his big hits hurt a lot more
They shoulda let him keep his ground eruption spears
Also gotta say, Executor's "attack boost with cursed sword drawn but drains hp when attacking" relic effect is really kinda lame
Its like 5%
And the sword itself is a little weaker than an un-boosted Rare Nagakiba
languid bane
i need to do a run with duchess
bitter oar
I get its attached to a sword that also gives you perfect blocks and unlocks a pretty alright big attack
But man it sucks as an actual sword
It also costs basically no stamina to swing, so in terms of damage per stamina its probably unrivaled
But maaaaan it still does doodoo damage for what is basically his whole identity
ALSO also, give me Frayed Blade back
sharp bluff
Been playing super casually, so I got the first 3 bosses down mostly playing as Raider, feeling pretty good
Then I chased Maris around for 10 minutes while the Ironeye and Rev attacked and decided maybe I should pick up more time on a ranged for that one
I've put some time into Recluse, guess I'll take her in there for that one
inner trench
Yeah Maris is awful on melee, especially slow big melee
sharp bluff
Yeah I hadn't fought it before, so I wasn't expecting a fulltime flyer. I'll just run that one on a ranged focused next time
limpid roost
Like 1 hour total playtime;
i like Wylder so far 'cuz Arm Cannon go BOOM 
I saw he eventually gets a mobility skill for it that's a double jump, how far into the bosses is it?
sharp bluff
I think most stuff like that is on relics? I've not played much Wylder yet
