Elden Ring: Nightreign

[spring kiln]

there is a wylder unique passive in relics you can get that gives you a second charge of his skill

doing a character's remembrance gives you relics that have these on them as you progress

the rest are rng dependant on what you get at the end of a failed or successful run

[spring kiln]

also there's another passive that allows for a unique follow up attack after you do a skill

[sharp bluff]

It's definitely one of the things that the game doesn't really explain well, worth looking up if you see a Relic bonus that's a little too vague

Like Revenant gets a couple different ones that are based on "fighting with family" which means she gets various bonuses depending on what summons are active

[bitter oar]

Not a double jump, but he covers a lot of distance by jumping out of his grapple movement. And yeah, you can get a second charge of his ability to go fast

He can also technically sorta rocket boost himself in the air by jumping off a ledge with his grapple, then blasting his ult behind you to propel yourself forward

I dont know about any general uses for it, but I have seen it allows him to skip the entire descent into the volcano by landing on a pillar before below, flinging himself off it, then rocket boosting to avoid the lava

[languid bane]

this team i had attacked the goatman instead of paying him to undo the curse and it was the first day

[bitter oar]

Bro its 15k thats not even a level by like lvl 5

Just pay the goatman

[spring kiln]

i had to leave a match near the start because of an irl situation and i feel like bad for the two guys i ditched

i just wish i could have told them what was up and that matchmaking could have pulled someone to take my spot

[spring kiln]

last time i paid him it was 35k

i'd still pay that any day over fighting him on the map

[bitter oar]

Thats if it happens on day 2

Expensive, but still worth it

[languid bane]

and we were all lvl 6.....

[sharp bluff]

When you have to pick a favorite rando

[languid bane]

Lol

Usually whoever you follow the other will go as well

[sharp bluff]

It is nice to see most people aren't straight-shooting for flask churches when I play lately

Been getting more runs with people hitting low-level camps and the mines asap

[languid bane]

Ya, usually day 1 i try to hit some of rhe smaller bosses and the the volcano or hidden city are spawned in i will go there on day 2

[sharp bluff]

I've yet to get a group that makes it to the volcano, mountaintop spawned last night but I haven't gone up that yet either

[languid bane]

The mountain top isn't all that bad. Just a pain especially when you run by the two dragons that do frost bite. You can get some good loot from them though.

The volcano I usually immediately go start of day 2 just so I know we have enough time to make the trip there and beat the 3-4 bosses that are there on the way to the bottom

And have enough time to beat the boss at the bottom for a free legendary

[sharp bluff]

Lately the randos I get have been hyperfocused on the forts and (for some reason) Redmane camps

[spring kiln]

duchess ditched us right before the day 2 boss after we didn't kill the death bird before the night came in

i got my remembrance item on that run so

[sharp bluff]

I'm focusing Raider's right now, I just did the lion fight so I think I need one more?

Recluse is also close to done I think, I've got both of their 3rd chalices

[spring kiln]

some succesful runs on different nightlords needed to proc the final remembrance battle but yea you are getting there

pages say 4 but i only did 2, so you battles before the last remembrance might count to that number

[spring kiln]

executor is done, the final remembrance was great practice for his cursed sword ability

[sharp bluff]

I've just done them in order, mostly, so I've killed the cerberus, jaw and bugs a few times each

Had a couple attempts at the goat but no kill, and tried the jellyfish once last night and that did not go well (but I at least know how the fight works now)

[patent wyvern]

anyone else just get booted out?

[languid bane]

hopefully that doesnt happen to me when i start my runs here in a minute. so who do we thing is the next hard mode boss?

[bitter oar]

Godly pull

Also, next hard mode boss is the moth

They said that Adel, Fulghor, and moth are the first 3

Wow we were really strong and then we just kinda died against Fulghor

Erdtree Heal is REALLY good though

If not for the full team heal then at least the range

It helps I had the Ascetic buff from goatman though so I had way more FP to use than normal

[languid bane]

pest my nightmare.....

one of my least favorite bosses aside from augur

[bitter oar]

I am gonna call it that they start joined together, and phase 3 is they split up

And become infinitely worse to deal with

[languid bane]

plot twist the scorpion will start flying around

or the moth just carries him around

[bitter oar]

Flying Scorpion would actually be worse than Augur, probably

[bitter oar]

I'm not sure if you guys have wondered but I think on a quick test that the Demon Plating buff from clearing Libra's curse might be like... 20% attack power per 100k runes?

Which is hefty, but thats also a fuckton of attack power

Probably worth not going to lvl 14 or 15 if you're at the end of your run for that huge amount of extra damage

Managed to solo Fulghor after both other members of my team left

Got a lucky Dark Moon Greatsword

I forgot how fucking strong this thing is

Granted, its solo scaling, so everything is strong, but this thing just OBLITERATES

This game really is way, way easier solo than in a group. Enemies do less damage, have like 1/5 the hp

[languid bane]

ya, i have heard many people say that

[spring kiln]

I haven't tried an honest solo run in quite a while

I like playing it in squads despite the chaos

[spring kiln]

I got scammed on this run by two greatswords that didn't count towards the followup talent wylder gets

[bitter oar]

Every "greatsword" should count. Are you thinking of Colossal Swords?

Cause the only one that might be confusing is the Godslayer Greatsword, which is still a Colossal Sword but is a little between a Greatsword and Colossal Sword in speed and power

[spring kiln]

they're name has the word greatsword but yea they were colossals

[bitter oar]

Is the other one the Watchdog Greatsword or something

Or just the Greatsword

[spring kiln]

I think one was the troll greatsword (grey looking) and the other was the carian greatsword

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I wish they'd just consolidate colossal GS and Weapons into one big group or something, it messes up some of Raider's relic abilities because CGS apparently don't count for his colossal weapon bonuses

[spring kiln]

I think the troll one still had a useful passive but the carian wasn't useful for me and got replaced

[sharp bluff]

And you aren't powerstancing if you have a CGS and C Weapon, which is annoying

[bitter oar]

Well, CGS arent colossals. They're Curved Greatswords

[spring kiln]

that and listing the weapon type in a run would be nice qol

[sharp bluff]

Colossal Greatswords, I mean, not Curved

[bitter oar]

Oh those should count then

The only thing specific to him is he gets his different animations with Greataxes

He is specific towards Greataxes

His default weapon looks like a hammer. It is an axe

[languid bane]

man, this game just hates dropping any sort of bow whenever i play ironeye

[bitter oar]

Also you can see weapon type above their art frame when you check their details

I think thats where it is, anyways

[sharp bluff]

Yeah he starts with a greataxe but it's listed as a colossal, I think

[bitter oar]

I wanna see the whole fuckin weapon stats

[spring kiln]

you do hit the bow racks? nothing great but maybe a blue sometimes

[bitter oar]

Like in the visual codex

[spring kiln]

[bitter oar]

Very curious to know if every fire weapon we pick up is like, flame art? Or the strength version?

Does their scaling even change? I have no idea

[sharp bluff]

Yeah in your inventory screen you can open the Details and see the weapon type and such

[spring kiln]

I hope the fire attack power stuff does work how i think it does because I had a lot of those on me when I played with nagi and harpie

[bitter oar]

What, with Wylder's followup attack?

Or do you mean like fire attack affinity increases?

[spring kiln]

yea

since it also makes the weapon coated in fire for a while

[bitter oar]

That one is just a flat(?) fire damage bonus

If the damage calcs work like normal Elden Ring and Souls games, I think the bonus might be minor enough that it bypasses the minimum damage calcs against enemies?

[spring kiln]

I'm getting lost

[bitter oar]

Its a bit confusing. What were you hoping it did?

[spring kiln]

yea

cause I got that follow up talent and the ult coating an area in fire for a while talent

well Ig I can ignore those items now

[bitter oar]

Wait are you talking about his greatsword followup attack or his burst coating the area in fire

[spring kiln]

the greatsword followup mainly

the ult i was thinking maybe it also works there but leaning on it probably doesn't

[bitter oar]

What about them? Does fire affinity bonuses boost them?

[spring kiln]

yes that was what I was thinking

mostly the followup

[bitter oar]

Hmmm... we can test that

[spring kiln]

I was thinking the fire affinity stuff would boost the fire dmg on the greatsword when it gets coated in fire from the followup until the fire stops

[bitter oar]

I do believe fire affinity does buff both the greatsword followup buff and the ult

[spring kiln]

oh okay

so I had the right idea

[bitter oar]

And we can test that for fire at least, because we have Flame Grant Me Strength

It buffs both

Assuming at least that fire affinity bonuses are the same as what Flame Grant Me Strength does

It was pretty all-encompasing in Elden Ring

We cant test in the sparring ground with randomly generated items, but I guess there is the Fire Scorpion Talisman if you want it on item form

Oh nevermind we dont have talismans in the sparring ground. I still assume it'd work though

And Attack Power is the omniboost, affecting spells and incantations too

[west summit]

raider default is considered colossal

[bitter oar]

Its confusing because there are Greataxes and then Colossal Greataxes I think

But they're both... kinda the same size...

And I feel like there are maybe more Colossal Greataxes? Cause I really dont remember many Greataxes

Besides THE Greataxe and like, the Crescent Axe or whatever it is the big soldiers use

Omenkiller Greataxe I guess

And thats all I remember. But then you have both gladiator axes, Godfry's Axe, I guess Godrick's Axe is a normal Greataxe I think?

Its really so hard to tell. They just look the same usually in size

[sharp bluff]

Yeah and I haven't played ER in a bit, so I've forgotten the category of some too. I have to check pretty often when I pick up a new weapon

[sharp bluff]

God, the fucking poker lmao

[west summit]

rev's claws also do greatsword revive damage

[sharp bluff]

I was wondering about that, she revives SO fast

[inner trench]

First tried the Giga Centaur

Kinda insane rng on the runes

[bitter oar]

Revenant is kinda all about reviving honestly, though to mixed results sometimes

Makes keeping her claws worth it though

Also, and I realized this years ago playing DS3

The reason the weapon naming is so confusing is because weapons arent named for how we use them

Theyre named based on however what we killed to get them used them, usually

[sharp bluff]

Oh for sure, she's probably the only char I've used that I have never dropped the starting weapon on

[bitter oar]

Like the Black Knight Sword is a straight sword when they use it with a shield

[spring kiln]

i dropped it sometimes when a item had a really good passive

[bitter oar]

But their Greatsword is an UGS to us

[spring kiln]

i wish that starting weapons got a passive

[bitter oar]

The only exception that comes to mind is the Fume Ultra Greatsword

Bitch was so big even Fume Knight knew it was an Ultra Greatsword

Brought to you by the game that turned the Greatsword into an UGS

[languid bane]

beat giga centaur again and man this game hates giving out good bows lol. i always get shit ones

[languid bane]

3 in a row successful giga centaur runs

[languid bane]

i have done it with recluse and ironeye so far

[modest matrix]

Its gonna be a challenge for me with guardian when i try

Gaping jaw. We can go down the list.

I quite like it as long as I don't have a dagger. Makes the adds more important and is a nice change of pace for me.

Lmao I got lucky

Augur next

[modest matrix]

tell that to my slow baby executor

good thing i have a lightning relic set ready that i was using for giga centaur

[modest matrix]

Queued in for augur

We'll see what happens when i try guardian with Centaur

bane of my existence

[languid bane]

the one attack pattern that annoys me with him is when he starts beyblading with his double sided spear

like non stop and i am stuck there just dodging to save my life

[west summit]

You can run riiiight up to him and be the funniest bit safe

[modest matrix]

Im stupid I queued for sentient pest

Pls queue for that one cause we're going down the line

[light solar]

[modest matrix]

Ggs! Ty for the run. Down to do more next time

[languid bane]

no problem

always down whenever

[spring kiln]

I'm neutral on those two

[sharp bluff]

I'm not big on Augur, Pest is fine when I'm on the usual farers I play

But I know how augur works now so I might not mind it as much next time I run it

[spring kiln]

around 1pm my time if i got the conversion right

ehhh i'll still be at work for a few hours

[languid bane]

me either. in the 100+hrs of playing

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I think I'm only around 40ish right now

[bitter oar]

I got the Grafted Blade once, also as an Ironeye

It does just make you feel very powerful by the end

Got it at like the start of night 2

Damage was big, health was higher than the Raider's, unlimited stamina and FP

[languid bane]

hopefully i get one to drop for me sometime lol

[languid bane]

time to do some runs again

[languid bane]

somoene on my team now has the bell bearing hunters sword and its melting lol

its a wylder that has it

its not doing insane damage like the short but he is doing alot of damage

[spring kiln]

just a few more hours of work to go...

Same

3 more hrs and then I can try when I get home

[bitter oar]

Bug dead

[languid bane]

Nice

[bitter oar]

Opinion on first exposure: ||Not as cool as the last two, has a fun "gotcha" moment, arguably kinda a downgrade? But the randos I had were super good and we were all lvl 15 so maybe they just made it look easier.||

Also I remembered/rediscovered the Godslayer's Greatsword has a followup attack to its skill

[languid bane]

You won the on the matchmaking

[bitter oar]

For some reason I thought it was just the first hit the whole time

Its a lot better with the 2nd hit

[bitter oar]

There was a patch this morning, noticed this got added when I was playing

It seems minor enough to not remember if it wasnt like that, but you had to check the details of a weapon to get the category to show up before

Now its just there by default

I still think that hitting Y or something with the details menu open should display the full weapon stats

finally home and now time to kill this bug

[spring kiln]

soon

I'd be playing rn but had to make a run back to work bc I forgor smth

[spring kiln]

pc refusing to start so doing maintenance instead no fun allowed today

[languid bane]

lol giga pest was so underwhelming and insanely easy first try

triple ironeye just melts it lol

[modest matrix]

I thought it was coming tomorrow

Lol I messed up and didnt farm it off bat

[languid bane]

all good if you want to play anytime just ping me

i am free most of the day until i got to go to work tomorrow

i am doing my 2nd run on it right now and at the door

honestly say the fight is really boring and not even close to as difficult as the first two

[modest matrix]

Im on day 3 rn and about to start if you wanna run a few

[spring kiln]

can't play nightreign at all for a while. done a bunch of trouble shooting and the pc is not booting successfully. had this issue before and it would right itself after a few start up attempts at most. but this is not sorting itself out this time.

general cleaning, reseating gpu, replugging cpu connectors, unplugging ram from quad channel down to dual channel down to single channel and replacing the cmos battery. same result each time.

no bug lord battles tonight

[languid bane]

I wish you luck and hope it's not a big issue

[spring kiln]

I really hope it isn't because when it boots up normally there's no sign of any issues whatsoever the entire time its running

[modest matrix]

Damn im sorry to hear that

Hope you're able to fix it

[modest matrix]

If you're down to play, we're on vc and stuff also i can set room

[languid bane]

I will be on later. Gonna

[modest matrix]

oh np np

GN

[languid bane]

time to farm this boss for a few runs before work

[inner trench]

Killed big bugs, not as cool as the others but ||Animus is a beautiful design holy moly|| (spoilers for the new fight)

Though I did have an Ironeye on my team who was whipping us around with perfectly marking every single field boss so we had stupid amounts of gear and runes (suspiciously so)

[languid bane]

the fight honestly is just an afk fight tbh

i have done it twice with ironeye and once with revenant so far. gonna go in with duchess later tonight after work

[modest matrix]

Its just endurance mode

With a little funny running around

[languid bane]

Pretty much lol.

The revenant run i did earlier me and the ironeye on my team focused the moth while the guardian took care of rhe scorpion lol

I'm gonna do runs with duchess tonight after work

I was doing a mage build revenant but didnt have any good spells other than black flame which was all I needed apparently to deal with the moth lol

[light solar]

anyone want to help me doing dutchess remembrance?

[steel seal]

Which is that one

I can probably help with that one

[light solar]

ah nvm, just completed a part and taking abreak since head killing me + heat killing me

[steel seal]

[bitter oar]

I feel like they shouldnt have fucked around and just had Everdark Pest have the full health from its original fight

Nerfing the HP for the sake of a 2-part fight and 3 health bars honestly just hurt it too much

Animus also should be made way more aggressive. Apparently it CAN attack without a host, but I didnt see it the one time I fought it

[inner trench]

I just saw it hop into the scorpion the second it got the chance

[bitter oar]

It'll hop into whichever one you kill

But it can attack you if you dont down one of the bugs fast enough

It should be attacking you way more often

[spring kiln]

We beleive it's the psu and we're taking it into pbtech (sort of like microcentre in the us) to get it fixed

Fixed before the bug lord rotates out

[languid bane]

Gonna try and farm the hell out of the bug and hit 100+ currency

Watch the dog be insanely hard lol

[inner trench]

Iron Eye goes down once, leaves before I can even rez him

[languid bane]

Lol sounds about right

[languid bane]

time to do a few runs now with duchess and recluse

[bitter oar]

They should add these guys to the Evergaol pool just to fuck with you

[light solar]

please no...

[languid bane]

Lol

[bitter oar]

Make it randomly one of the elemental variants too

[spring kiln]

yes

this was the endscreen

the revanant had 4 legendaries

[minor osprey]

holy shit

[languid bane]

damn

[sharp bluff]

Good lord you guys were loaded

[languid bane]

some runs i am lucky to find one

[sharp bluff]

Yeah if the lava chasm's not up sometimes I might not even get one

[languid bane]

ya, or you gotta get lucky and one of the day 2 giga bosses will drop legendary loot

or visit the hidden city and fight astel

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I still haven't seen the hidden city, either

Granted I'm just now hitting like, 45 hours in the game total

[bitter oar]

Revenant's greed knows no bounds

[lean peak]

I think they fixed the Animus issue, but if you still get it I found that if you run along the border of the boss room you can find it and aggro back into the map.

[languid bane]

i havent had that happen to me yet

[languid bane]

wylder remembrance done now

just have raider, guardian and executor left to do now

[languid bane]

Have they said yet who the next hard mode boss is?

[sharp bluff]

I don't think I've seen anything yet

[languid bane]

Hmmm bc i think tomorrow is the last day for pest

[inner trench]

They've generally posted something a day in advance, so probably tonight/tormorrow?

[lean peak]

Hmm, that's odd. Wonder why they gave pest a shorter window.

[bitter oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCdtADvzqQU

Interesting stuff

There is an unused model mask of Faurtis where his head gets blown off

A little disturbing

Wonder if it'll ever be used for something

[sharp bluff]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUyEWGe1Us&feature=youtu.be|| Ruins apparently have hidden stairs to rare+ loot chests, I never even thought to check

Spoilered in case you want to find them yourself

[languid bane]

Oh ya I saw this. I still haven't seen that item you need to unlock it

[sharp bluff]

Do you need something? Usually illusory floors are just roll/hit to get past them

[languid bane]

Oh nevermind I am thinking of somewhere else that is near the middle castle

There is a door you need an item to open it but it's a low drop rate

I have yet to ever see it

[sharp bluff]

Oh yeah I don't think I've seen that either

[languid bane]

Ya, you get like 3 items that prevent you from dropping/losing your souls when you die

[inner trench]

that sounds really good, but I haven't seen it either

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I'll have to look up more about that when I get home

[languid bane]

https://youtube.com/shorts/cqLLkAZiON0?si=AjiLgQG6QwlYCFTm

Almost 150hrs and have yet to find one

[inner trench]

Oh that's what the Cord is for, I saw some bloodborne folks tweet about it on release

[languid bane]

Ya, I haven't seen it yet or if I have i didnt notice

[sharp bluff]

Guess I need to look more carefully between boluses when I find a church, lmao

[inner trench]

I feel like the random orange glow will stand out enough

[sharp bluff]

Maybe

[languid bane]

Knowing myself and how fast I just loop around and leave i probably missed it

[light crow]

Huh I think i found one in one of the first 5 or so runs (then ofc never again), but ngl the reward for something so rare seems kinda really meh

[languid bane]

Ya, it's a decent reward if you want some added insurance

[spring kiln]

https://youtu.be/FrCWvSrlpCU?si=_oKalxUy9k0Sn8iN

[languid bane]

idk if its my connection or the servers but holy they are ass right now. i have dc'd like 5 times already

[languid bane]

raider remembrance is done now

[limpid roost]

What would y'all wanna see for Everdark Caligo / Ice Dragon?

||the implication of the boss we fight just being an image of the past conjured by the absolutely colossal entity seen after beating it is both fascinating and leaves a LOT of room for new things||

[bitter oar]

Wait what

[limpid roost]

The next time you defeat Caligo, look at how the environment changes, ESPECIALLY the skybox! Not gonna spoil it.

[west summit]

Nani the fucking what

[inner trench]

But I don't wanna go fight Caligo again

[languid bane]

kind of surprised the elden ring twitter page has been silent the last few days

[inner trench]

Curious to see what they’re cooking, might just be downtime between this batch and the next of Everdark fights

[bitter oar]

They should add divine dancing lion as a night 2 boss

[limpid roost]

The spoiler Caligo thing for those who loathe the encounter;

||When the boss goes down, there's a GIANT eye in on the horizon watching the player; from the descriptions in-game, that's the real Caligo, what we fought was an afterimage||

[bitter oar]

I do loathe the encounter a bit but now I feel like I gotta go see what that is

[inner trench]

I really hope the Everdark version is a bit more close-range, that fight on a melee character is just running back and forth constantly

[languid bane]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nightreign/s/cDGJXT2X1V

[bitter oar]

Terrible screenshot but here is the Caligo thing

It really doesnt appear until the very end, after Caligo dies

||A little terrifying honestly. The idea of things THAT large has always unsettled me||

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I ||love when From fucks with scale like that, like the dragon corpses in ER||

[bitter oar]

I'm gonna do a second run just to try and get a better picture

[inner trench]

Oh yeah that's freaky,|| some of the others were also kinda eye-like but that is a proper one||

[bitter oar]

Actually, it turns out its just there the entirety of phase 2 I think. I'm just blind

But I didnt check during phase 1

[bitter oar]

Alright I was gonna try and see how it appeared during phase 2 but we ended up just phase skipping and killing Caligo because it never transitioned. But this is in some ways an even clearer picture of the sky

Kinda just fades in, I guess

I think it goes wispy nebula, thin lines -> big cloudy nebula, big brow ridge -> eye

Yknow, I swear Zullie did a video on the skyboxes of Nightreign

It was BonfireVPN

From the Night, familiar terrors rise anew.

The Everdark Sovereigns Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest & Darkdrift Knight Nightlords will come back in pairs over the next three weeks in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN.

We are thankful of your valiant expeditions against the Everdark.

Imagine if they made you fight both at the sametime

So looks like we will get a new variant in August

[modest matrix]

Oh so only these three for rotation

I was already waiting for the next one

[languid bane]

Ya, probably not until August

If they refresh it will probably do them once for the first time 25 sigils

[inner trench]

I’m guessing they’ll hold off Everdark Heolstor for right before the DLC

[languid bane]

oh that will be nice to watch later

[west summit]

Can't wait

[sharp bluff]

I keep meaning to save my murk for costumes, but I end up throwing it all away on relic gamba as I work on other Remembrances

Needed some of the good Guardian skills, like damage reflect, and kept rolling junk

[languid bane]

i just use the hard mode sigils for gamba

since i have bought everything already

[languid bane]

this was a great watch

[sharp bluff]

All I have left to buy are emotes/costumes, I've got all the grails I can buy

I'm mostly just farming for better combos of the specific main relic bonuses I want

[bitter oar]

the bug duo is supposed to rotate back in in a few days, looking forward to that

[spring kiln]

https://youtu.be/-fYKL-9FwLU?si=18a7Jjn7-_uwEb4U

[spring kiln]

oh so both of the other sovereigns are avaliable, they're just permanent now?

[bitter oar]

I think they rotate as pairs for now

People are anticipating the new sovereigns will be ready in August

[spring kiln]

i like that choice of what i can go for now

first run back and it was glorious

loved the raider we had

[bitter oar]

I hope eventually they all just stay available as sovereigns. I wanna just randomly get to pick one

[spring kiln]

i want to hit random without having to select them all first

still need weakness affinity on the map beside their icon

[spring kiln]

will all the sovereign versions on the menu with their regular versions on the same menu, i think they'd need to adjust the ui

(forgot to un @ sorry)

[bitter oar]

Yeah I'd prefer you just hit a button and it swaps over to all the sovereign versions

Instead of a big list

[languid bane]

i had always thought the bosses would be random when the game was first announced

or you would proceed kind of like risk of rain

[spring kiln]

from yesterday

[spring kiln]

server disconnect early into the final night boss

tried, got in but immediately lost connection to the server. further attempts just fail outright

rip, it was a nice run

i hope the two guys i was with are managing

[spring kiln]

teammates left early into day 1, maybe they crashed but none of them have tried reconnecting

[spring kiln]

Patch was just a literal Bug fix

[languid bane]

welp

[spring kiln]

well those are two important bugs to fix

[sharp bluff]

Yeah I just like that the bug fix was to fix a bug (literal)

[spring kiln]

ye

[spring kiln]

dancer raid

[bitter oar]

Wish I saw her more

[languid bane]

I saw her so many times and then after hard mode came out i didn't see her once

[bitter oar]

Seeds in general kinda have an issue in this game, in that there are far too few

And for some reason you re-roll similar or even the same seeds far, far more frequently than I would expect

There aren't many seeds, but there also are enough seeds that they could just make whatever last seed someone on the team played last be ineligible for the following run

And I wish they'd do that. I wanna fight different things on night 2

[languid bane]

I cant count how many times I have fought the stupid dragonkin and lightning dragon

[bitter oar]

Its fucked up the Ancient Dragon is a night 2 boss and also can just show up in an Evergaol

They gotta know just how much they suck to fight

[languid bane]

Ya, I hate fighting the ancient dragon and dragonkin. They aren't even hard just annoying bc of how much they leap and fly around

[bitter oar]

Dragonkin is alright at least since you can hit it where you want. The Ancient Dragon has always moved around way too much on its thin chicken feet to be enjoyable

[spring kiln]

I don't mind fighting them as night bosses but during the day in nost can be problematic if we're on the clock

could do them during the day if the party has some ranged classes in it

[bitter oar]

Well that Dragonkin is penned into a pretty small box area at least

[spring kiln]

bug sovereign isn't live yet?

[spring kiln]

it is!

https://tenor.com/view/revenant-nightreign-drue-langlois-shoebody-bop-dance-gif-12231225353222208569

it's time to hunt!

[languid bane]

Good luck. That's the perfect time to farm for sigils

[spring kiln]

that's a pretty alright boss fight

i got grabbed twice by the moth while i was focused on the scorpion with charged incantations

i like how colourful it is

[spring kiln]

this was a good run

[spring kiln]

raider found it early

[spring kiln]

today was pretty good, got all the remaining urns i had left and all the enhanced sovereign relics.

no sigils for skins

murk has gone into relic gacha

[spring kiln]

https://youtu.be/36t31RvNM4Y

besides thinking sovereigns returning would mean you might not be fighting the same version of that sovereign boss ever again being wrong, everything else seems right

[spring kiln]

that FP sovereign relic is amazing, look at my total fp

really nice run

had a lot of fp material and just assaulted the boss with moons

[languid bane]

Ya, you get giga fp

[light solar]

how much fp you go-

YES

[spring kiln]

umm, i thought names got censored if they had something not okay

[languid bane]

Probably might want to report that

[spring kiln]

how?

[bitter oar]

Maybe can go into your past expeditions in the visual codex and see your past teammates

[spring kiln]

okay done, we just got blasted by the red moth attack

okay now i can see the report option

the i is a 1

i couldn't tell in battle but i can see it in the results

they were a pretty decent raider tbh, just that name though...

We cant be knights but that goes through

[spring kiln]

the underside of her hat is so nice and detailed

hit 100 hours

[spring kiln]

i am scared for whatever they are going to do to him

i have not fought him willingly in a while

[spring kiln]

forgot to share this

[spring kiln]

as for the dragon, I'm pretty excited to see how they make that boss fight more of a spectacle

[bitter oar]

Caligo starting in phase 2 will at least make it more interesting to start

It should definitely be a beautiful fight at least

[spring kiln]

I'm going to have a hard time fighting the boss because I'll be too distracted by how stunning it is

[languid bane]

i can only imagine them making caligo's ost even more epic than it already was

[inner trench]

The OST files that people extracted on release had the 3rd phase/Everdark parts in it

And I fear for Libra based on it

[inner trench]

Something I only noticed when pointed out, that’s P3 Libra, look at how his chest has burst open

[spring kiln]

oh

oh no...

[spring kiln]

i have discovered what the game gives you if you fail morgott's raid...

that made the boss fight a nightmare and we lost

[inner trench]

How bad is it?

[spring kiln]

you take extra damage

a really notical amount of extra damage

[inner trench]

Oh no

that's really funny

[spring kiln]

most of time as reclues i die mid casting no magic allowed

you're fine when you start and then the boss does a quick 180

[spring kiln]

they left because of the dog killing them...i was coming in just lagging a bit behind them

[spring kiln]

4 opened jails

previous image missed some things

absolutely devastating tank

there was one run earlier from before the raider runs where the fell omen raided at the start of the game while we were fighting an evergaol deathbird

[spring kiln]

final thing from today, the moth stuck around after the red spirit moth got defeated

[bitter oar]

Huh, haven't seen that one. Fartis can survive when it burrows. No idea how the moth could

[spring kiln]

from what I can remember, since we were all melee we focused pretty hard on fortis. I'm not sure if we actually killed the moth once.

[west summit]

it's a playable mod made for fnf from what I could make of the description

[bitter oar]

Ye, people make tons of things for other games in FNF

Its still impressive though. A lot can go into a FNF mod

Art and music and programming

Its a lot of effort and team coordination for what ultimately boils down to a shitpost

safe to say the troll castle is my least favourite version of the castle, even if it's easiest overall

[languid bane]

The accuracy of their pot throws is insane

[spring kiln]

kept them

i didn't even know the middle one was a buff that existed, that's very situational

[spring kiln]

https://youtu.be/hYZ_KJwzJkE
he talks about nightreign in here and one of things he talked about was returning bosses (the slim amount we got and what they could add to flesh it out a bit ), and the idea of ornstein and smough in nightreign had my interest.

not as postive of a sentiment with nightreign as some of us might have but he's very engaged with the speedrunning cycles of nightreign for now

[languid igloo]

man today i discovered there is nightreign youtuber drama

nothiing is safe from drama

[languid bane]

lol

[spring kiln]

rusty and someone else having different opinions I think?

[bitter oar]

If I had to guess, Rusty does not think the game is as great as everyone else probably does

And its makin people mad

Or it was his legendary effects rating

He said the rotted woods was the weakest shifting earth

Hard disagree. The mountain kinda sucks ass

I mean, he was basing it off of just the upgrade you get in the area

But even then mountain still sucks. Only halves frostbite applied to you, is entirely useless if you DONT have frostbite weapons

[sharp bluff]

Rot's nice on weapons but if your RNG sucks the woods feel kinda pointless

[bitter oar]

For me, regions as a whole goes mountain > volcano > woods > city

[sharp bluff]

But yeah, mountain is easily my least favorite

[bitter oar]

Mountain has no good bosses you'd really want, takes forever to climb, ice dragon is annoying

[sharp bluff]

I hated the ice dragon in ER, and I hate him here, lol

[bitter oar]

Volcano is alright but an upgraded legendary weapon just isnt as good as an actual legendary. Passives not being upgraded is very felt. Only minor bosses all the way down

Ice dragon in ER was tough but fine because he had a MASSIVE fire weakness

This one doesn't as much

[sharp bluff]

Volcano's at least usually got some decent drops along the way, and magma wyrm's kind of a pushover boss

[bitter oar]

Rotted woods is good because the bonus is, at the worst, massive extra health

But like the 6+ major bosses in close proximity is super good

And then city obviously is city. If you can beat Astel, its all worth it

[sharp bluff]

City seems to have the biggest overall payout though

[bitter oar]

for how long it takes to get down there, thank goodness he is a pushover

[sharp bluff]

Oh for sure lol

[spring kiln]

they could have put someone else down there and make it a nightmare

one of the flying bosses

i can imagine how many runs would have to scramble halfway through the fight as the night approaches

[spring kiln]

i think i am at that point now

i'm going to take a break from nightreign to play some more darktide/space marine/helldivers

[spring kiln]

probably will do another run before the new lords come tbh

the temptation to do another run is there

[spring kiln]

i fell to temptation

[spring kiln]

does anyone have any speculation on what they could do to maris?

[inner trench]

~~Remove her ~~ I could see the ads becoming more important to the fight as a whole, make them actual enemies instead of tentacles

[limpid roost]

Devil's Take; change the EverDark Augur's Sleep to the Deep Sleep from Shadow of the Erdtree

[west summit]

NO

[bitter oar]

Doesnt deep sleep function the same as normal sleep for enemies that canr go into deep sleep? Or do you mean the kind of St Trina deep sleep that just instantly kills you?

[west summit]

Def that one

[inner trench]

That's just how that fight went the first few times regardless I hated that stupid jellyfish as Raider

he's cooking again

[spring kiln]

interesting bug happened, we got a fell omen raid but i never saw him. i got the raid visual and vfx but no dialouge. my teammates aparently could see him once i caught up to them, they could attack him and get attacked by him but i couldn't see him or attack him. i could hear when they were hitting his hitbox. after the raid was over, i did get the reward message but the map never unred itself.

yup, giga libra

sooooooon

i did a few runs against him to warm up and he's not as bad as i remembered but still a rough/tough fight

(so much for that break, at least i did play less)

I thought libra was gonna be first but nope

[inner trench]

still the only regular boss I haven't beaten because I don't know the mechanics

I want more Libra though, that goat is by far the funniest fight

[languid bane]

Augur really isn't much to learn when it comes to his mechanics

[inner trench]

Day 2 of game release all I did was get sleep-nuked and die so there's that

I'll have to look it up before giga Augur

[languid bane]

Whenever he does his sleep thing you want to attack him with any lightning item or based attack to stagger him out of it and stop him

And the nuke he drops you can either attack it if you are playing ranged like ironeye, recluse or mage revenant but you can just run outside of rhe blast radius too

But other than that there isn't too much mechanics wise other than that and chasing him around and running from his mini bombs

He is one of the more easier and boring boss fights lol

[inner trench]

the chasing him around part was what made me move onto the others, same reason I don't really enjoy Caligo as much as that fight is a visual and auditory spectacle

< Raider main

I'll give Augur a couple tries at some point

[languid bane]

Oh ya lol if you are a physical attacker like raider than you will spending alot of time running and jump attacking

[inner trench]

The true Elden Ring experience

[languid bane]

Caligo is more forgiving as he just sits in one spot for a good amount of time so you can chip away at him

Versus augur who just fucks off snd flies all the time until you stagger him or he comes down once every blood moon

[sharp bluff]

The trick with Augur as melee is ||everything he creates, when destroyed, will return damage to his main body. So if he's off on Mars somewhere floating around, beat up tentacles and jellyfish||

All I have left is Guardian's remembrance now, which I think I'm like two steps off from finishing

Doing Executor's actually made me like playing him a lot, the parry feels so good when you get used to it

[spring kiln]

I really like his parrying but I just need some enemies to attack more frequently

Tf you mean Ironeye buff

I GOT WHAT I WANTED

Oh shit bows can get rally effects now

[west summit]

They couldn't before?

[bitter oar]

I thought it was intended they didnt since they dont proc things like the repeated attack buff talisman

Nah they didnt. They dont do a lot of things

But they can do that now

[west summit]

That's, uh, something

[bitter oar]

It think thats how it was in Elden Ring too

Bows were just different

[languid igloo]

this augur fight is soo stupid

[languid bane]

Not surprising bc it's augur. His fight was already annoying

[languid igloo]

whoever designed hopefully never get to design another fight ever again

[spring kiln]

going to give it a go and hopefully beat it before i have to go to work

[spring kiln]

first impressions, incredibly beautiful cosmic entity BUT I COULD BARELY HIT IT AS AN IRONEYE

i can see its meant to be a spectale boss fight because it gives us this but i am not a mage, i have not been building up fp

we had a wylder with connection issues that permanently left during day 2, that didn't help things

[spring kiln]

apparently it has a built in method of gaining fp according to someone in another server

[spring kiln]

so you need to charge it up and not do the normal hits to regain fp

apparently

I'll do another run after work

[languid igloo]

Ohhg

[spring kiln]

okay second time around, he's not hard. just tedious. he could do with having his hp reduced maybe but thge storm ruler definetely needs to have a faster charging time.

not great or good, i would say its bad but with some changes it could be a fairly decent spectale boss fight. looks and presentation wish i love how maris looked in their new phase

it's easy enough you could farm this for sigils with almost no problem but i would rather fight the bug boss duo for that

i still want a fight at the end these runs yknow

[languid bane]

Ya, no surprise this fight was bad and boring just like pest

[spring kiln]

pest is honestly fine for me

second worst night sovereign but not bad like maris is

it's a decent fight

[languid bane]

Pest was just tedious especially if you had teammates that decided to go back and forth killing the scorpion and moth instead of just the scorpion

Just made the fight longer than it should

[spring kiln]

oh just a thought

I suppose they'll eventually do these buffed versions with the dlc bosses sometime after we get them

[spring kiln]

they could make that tidal wave attack a thicker blue, it's almost too transparent sometimes

[limpid roost]

Boss Mechanic Question;
(Spoilered in case anyone wants to go in blind)
||Does targeting the purple orbs and clearing them all do anything?||

[spring kiln]

i would assume so, i didn't target them intentionally

[prime palm]

Clearing purple orbs staggers him, you can't crit him, but he's staggered for some time

Enough to get some charged hits in

[spring kiln]

that's good to know

[modest matrix]

How's everyone's augur runs?

Currently 3/8 characters on clear. Its so gimicky lmao

[limpid roost]

Lotsa LOTSA Ragequitters today; lotsa babby's leaving the moment they strike off against the group goal and die once

[modest matrix]

Yeah... it do be like that

I just want my dutchess clear

[steel seal]

Just beat augur fuck that damn jellyfish

[limpid roost]

Fun idea, tedious execution.

PROTIP: The ||Charged Sword Beam|| deletes all incoming projectiles except the ||BIG FUKN WAVE||

[bitter oar]

I havent gotten to fight Maris yet but it is polarizing from what Ive seen

Some people love it, a lot dont

[bitter oar]

I have now fought everdark Maris

I dont hate it

Honestly I would say it is an improvement over the original

Because no matter what character you have, you can still hit it now

Wish they didnt do away with the jellyfish and stuff, that was a nice part of its identity

It is still boring, but probably less boring than normal Maris

Very beautiful creature. Its like Elden Beast but not a giant pain in the ass

You can get the ||storm ruler AoW|| on a weapon in the sparring grounds now

Lets you try it out. I didnt realize you could attack with it uncharged

Probably an overall DPS increase over charging it, but charging it does restore your FP while you are actively charging it

Seems like... maybe about 30 or 40 fps per full charge?

You can continue charging beyond that to just continually restore FP though

I guess a downside and upside of the fight is your gear basically doesnt matter

Also the AOE explosion of the projectile is MASSIVE

From this training dummy, it will hit the other training dummy on the far right of the screen

Hit detection seems GENEROUS. I'm actually not sure how it works. I can fire a charged projectile down the middle of the far right and large dummy and it hits everything

But when you're firing it from across the arena against Maris, a generous hitbox is necessary to not whiff entirely as it moves

It seems like maybe if the projectile registers a hit anywhere, it just creates an explosion centered on the projectile that damages anything around it at that point

Doesnt really matter but just interesting to see how it functions

What actually causes the explosion fx to appear is still a little unclear to me. The birds in the distance in the sparring arena actually make good Maris-adjacent targets with their distance

No visual explosion when it hits them, but it seems its just a very large moving hitbox

Uncharged bladebeams do have tracking

Besides an ironeye trying to mark Maris which might be impractical, I feel like the best character to be would be Recluse with her "art causes blood loss and damage boost" relic cause thats really the only huge damage boost characters have access to that would be usable anywhere in Maris' arena

Or Raider's art

[spring kiln]

I wish the tracking jellyfish bomb things stayed but I don't mind the eels being gone

[spring kiln]

there's a one eye looking baby in its head

didn't know scarlet bloom was in nightreign

[limpid roost]

Nah that's a Kirby Secret Final Boss

[bitter oar]

Kinda looks like the red eye orb

Actually no not quite

Yeah that looks like a kirby boss

[bitter oar]

Hadn't played in awhile before last night and with the bonus sigils from Maris I was able to get the last of the outfits

Got all the chalices, all the outfits, all the current boss relics

I have unlocked everything

Only gacha is in my future

[spring kiln]

i just need one more outfit

[spring kiln]

jellys were in the fight

they just stood there

[bitter oar]

Maybe they act more like proximity mines instead of exploding on their own

[spring kiln]

i've done this boss a good amount of times now and that was the only run they appeared in

didn't seem to do anythng when i got close

i don't think they were meant to be there

[bitter oar]

Maybe they were leftovers from the original Maris?

[spring kiln]

i don't think so, maybe. all i see him do is wave splahes and that one spin move

[bitter oar]

After fighting Maris again but as Duchess for some reason

The other category of characters I'll add to the list of "good to bring" are Guardian and Raider again

Cause I'm not even sure if your stats even matter for the AoW, probably just your level

And they have a fuckton of stamina

To either keep spamming blade beams or run away from the tsunami

God Duchess just has no stamina

That Duchess fight went really poorly too compared to my first. I dont even know why it was so much worse

[abstract needle]

Duchess, Raider, and Wylder are like the best for Darkdrift Maris. It's either movement or damage output for the fight

[bitter oar]

Wylder definitely since grapple is goated but everyone runs the same speed so I dont see Duchess really being the best there

And Maris moves WAY too much for Duchess to get her restage off on it, in my limited experience

Would spend so much time running after it you never get to actually hit it

[spring kiln]

got the last skin now

[abstract needle]

ay nice, I still got a few left

[bitter oar]

Went into an expedition against Fulghor

For some reason the entire time I thought I was gearing up to fight Maris

Dont do that

Very different fights

Team managed to wipe before he even transitioned to phase 3

Luckily we had 2 wending graces and managed to scrape by with a win

[spring kiln]

solo win against fulghor

it was a trio expedition but it looks like my teammates had connection issues, one came back but was gone again soon after

oh boy they are leaving libra for last

[inner trench]

my boy

[bitter oar]

Curious to see what they do with Caligo

Cause its one of the fights that I would not mind just being something totally different akin to Fulghor

Caligo could use it

I'd like more tricky fog and audio attacks. Its very unique

[spring kiln]

forgot to share this i think from last month

[bitter oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWZlxJKuL80

Note: Storm Ruler does split physical and magica damage

So if you're looking for any way to buff it, magic buffs work too, i.e Recluse's Terra Magica

[bitter oar]

I also really like the idea that Maris, both versions, are just clones of some original creature. Maybe the Everdark isnt even the original

Maybe there is another, far larger and older Maris out there

[spring kiln]

there was more marine biology in this boss fight than i thought at first and that's my field of study!

[bitter oar]

Yeah its hard to notice the patterns when the marine biology is trying to beat your face in

But its cool to have it laid out like that. The bosses in this game feel very inspired

And they use that inspiration to great effect

[spring kiln]

[prime palm]

Anyone tried out duos with randoms, both times I tried, the other person disconnected before landing on the first camp

Been playing mostly solo since release, it's a bit funny that when I try to play with others, I get abandoned in the first 20 seconds of a game

[limpid roost]

Every time a boss is fresh, there's always a wave of players who quit out of a run if it doesn't go well early; it'll pass!

[spring kiln]

I've been just playing trios this whole time, apart from when people or the network turned it into duos/solo

[spring kiln]

the dragon is down!

really cool new phase

[spring kiln]

https://youtu.be/oXs6tgoe6Kw?si=EqymGh9IEzvN5s85

I think the ice armour is really nice

[bitter oar]

Goddamn they gave Caligo hands

First run against it and we lost and it wasnt even really close

One of Caligo's worst traits originally was how tanky it was for how uninteresting it was, the fight was just long

Now its actually dangerous

And still really tanky

Nice its not getting shown up by the mountaintops dragon anymore

Honestly my first impression is it might be the hardest boss so far

Fulghor could've taken that if his fight wasnt reworked so much that he lost tools as an everdark, like the big aoe ground slams and the spear eruptions. Those were some of his most dangerous attacks originally

Caligo doesn't lose anything, its just a straight improvement, like Adel

[bitter oar]

Second run another loss, fight went better because I was Ironeye but the run went so much worse

And its comparably worse because I had the exact same seed

Kinda really sucks when that happens, really shouldnt be happening still

I know there are only so many seeds per boss but there are more than 3, I should never be getting a repeat seed

[bitter oar]

I threw so badly

I shoulda just killed the boss

This was a really fucking good run too

We were melting them

But that ice breath is deadly...

[bitter oar]

Good-ass run

Wow that relic is pretty ass

I guess they made the original one too good and ran out of ideas for this one

[spring kiln]

with most of the boss relics, i struggle a bit trying to fit them in when there's another relic with some character specific trait that i want instead

[bitter oar]

Yeah character-specific traits are just way too valuable to me... it'd take a REALLY good relic to make me pick it

Or the character-specific ones just not being that great
