|| love how he becomes blue smeltor at the end of the fight btw ||
#From Software
rancid siren
solemn shell
||he switches colors a lot||
||when you stagger him during blue phase, he turns red again||
rancid siren
that's kinda what i meant earlier
i wish the game just had more cool shit like that
solemn shell
i really like all the returning bosses tbh
rancid siren
same and i like the updated movesets
solemn shell
ive had fun with all of them so far
and every time one of them shows up i audibly said "what are THEY doing here???"
it does get annoying when you get the same one over and over again though
especially when that one is uh
||gaping dragon||
rancid siren
semi relevant
the gaping dragon 2.0 nightlord is my fave so far
even with the game freezing move
solemn shell
he is pretty cool but not my favorite
rancid siren
i only have fought 3 tho so far
solemn shell
my favorite is ||gnostos the sentient pest||
solemn shell
i only have fought 3 tho so far
which 3?
rancid siren
yuh
solemn shell
||gnoster||
rancid siren
i almost got the pest on my first run but literally playing duchess i could not hit that || lobster || like at all with my daggers i felt useless lol
solemn shell
so i was ||murdering the moth while other people dealt with the lober scorpion guy||
||i think its a really well done duo fight with how they go after different people||
rancid siren
the music was making me crack up tho cuz it made me feel like i was playing a final fantasy or smth
solemn shell
ive loved the music in all of the fights so far
rancid siren
same
this was my fave experience with the second nightlord tho
just felt great to work together like that
basically peak nightreign
solemn shell
yeah its so fun to work together
rancid siren
yeah
that's part of why i enjoyed the second one too much
|| the poison making him vomit promotes so much teamplay and coordination. as soon as he gets poisoned you can call out the whole team to do their biggest attacks ||
solemn shell
did you see the special thing for the third fight tho?
solemn shell
would you mind if i told you
solemn shell
oh but actually one thing
||did you ever get hit by the grab attack, or see someone else get hit by it||
rancid siren
i cant exactly remember...
quick cosmos
Alright chat, what do we think of nightreign so far?
I've heard good things overall
solemn shell
i think its absolutely peak
but theres differing opinions about it
its definitely more of a niche than fromsoft's regular games
i mean
more of a different niche
rancid siren
it's peak but it needs duos and crossplay. Possibly needs a bit moroe variety in randomisations
but i havent got too far yet so idk
solemn shell
it's peak but it needs duos and crossplay. Possibly needs a bit moroe variety in...
they're getting duos out at least
also i think the variety kinda depends on the boss?
i think different bosses are more likely depending on the nightlord you chose
||like we were doing gaping jaw and we got two different dragon bosses||
rancid siren
I haven't seen that so far
I did see an ancient dragon once on the second nightlord
solemn shell
i think you can still get any boss, its just more likely to be certain bosses
rancid siren
So mayyyybe but I've seen like so many bellbearing hunters and tree sentinels
solemn shell
I did see an ancient dragon once on the second nightlord
i get ancient dragon any time im having a good run
game just goes "haha nope"
rancid siren
Ancient dragon is basically free to me so it's a good warmup for the nightlord
solemn shell
how is it free for you
rancid siren
I just stick to the legs in base ER and I've never had a tough time
solemn shell
especially if you have rain of arrows
rancid siren
True
solemn shell
I just stick to the legs in base ER and I've never had a tough time
i just get memed
and he takes barely any damage
rancid siren
But I'm surprised cuz I headshot him the whole fight and he didn't stagger once
solemn shell
ive never encountered wormface
rancid siren
For some reason they made him spawn like 2 million enemies including crabs
rancid siren
I barely clutched it out for my team cuz we hit up a sleep ruin just before and I had so many sleep pots
solemn shell
||nameless king||
rancid siren
I barely clutched it out for my team cuz we hit up a sleep ruin just before and ...
That's on day one too btw
Don't even get to be atleast equipped for it
solemn shell
thats crazy
rancid siren
Oh yeah he spawns like 5 giant rats too
So like
Crabs rats and wormface spewing deathblight...
Again I only managed cuz I had tons of sleep pots so I could control the crowd a bit
rancid siren
Crabs rats and wormface spewing deathblight...
Omfg yeah on top of that, wormface is the only one with a health bar and every other enemy just respawns on death
solemn shell
some of the most poise in the game
according to fextralife so take it with a grain of salt, ancient dragons have 120 poise, take 80% less poise damage on their body, and 60% less on their head
rancid siren
Jeez
solemn shell
Omfg yeah on top of that, wormface is the only one with a health bar and every o...
sounds like tibia mariner
rancid siren
Is the tibia mariner similar
solemn shell
yeah
he spawns with a bunch of skeletons
like A BUNCH
||and summons a death rite bird in the middle that stays in the fight afterwards (but doesnt have a health bar and isnt required to beat the boss)||
rancid siren
||I remember I had commander Neill (the rot swamp one) and I just did ironeyes ult and blow all his summons away the moment they spawned ||
solemn shell
||I remember I had commander Neill (the rot swamp one) and I just did ironeyes u...
yeah that boss is pretty easy ngl lol
rancid siren
Yeah
solemn shell
||i got commander o'neil once (the castle sol one) and it was def harder than the commander niall||
actually ive had both
rancid siren
Those guys are pretty free tbh (my rl1 trauma made me learn that guy's moveset like the back of my hand)
solemn shell
yeah in basegame i would not call the second one free, (had to completely skip him in my no-hit playthrough) but in this game its a lot easier
rancid siren
Speaking of free...
|| magma wyrm has to be the easiest purple/orange item in the game ||
solemn shell
if you're playing a ranged character maybe
rancid siren
I did a solo run with star first
solemn shell
that one stupid attack makes melee character a lot more annoying
rancid siren
Fair
rancid siren
The magma is irritating in the limited spaces be can be in too
solemn shell
that too
solemn shell
and its really annoying sometimes
his hitbox can push you into the lava even though he's not even doing an attack
solemn shell
If it was the versions that stand up they'd be way harder tho
||those are a night boss too||
rancid siren
solemn shell
i think
any annoying boss you can think of
they're a night boss
im just surprised i havent run into a bed of chaos or something
rancid siren
Godskin trio ..
solemn shell
its called godskin duo
rancid siren
Trio because three players
solemn shell
||and yes its a night boss but they took away the noble's roll and the apostle doesnt come until noble is half health||
something i love about the game is how every night boss has new super cool moves
like its a pre-existing boss but its got this cool new move now
sometimes they're like really flashy moves too
like tree sentinel
solemn shell
did you know thats actually in elden ring too
rancid siren
Oh
solemn shell
i think its unused content
solemn shell
cause i see it in every mod i play, but not basegame
and ive never seen a mod actually make a new move for a boss, its always just unused content
rancid siren
Cuz boss designers at fromsoft have specific rules and experience making bosses while modders... Don't
Plus animation is hard
Easier to just trust fromsoft's design than ur own I guess
solemn shell
Or atleast draconic does
also yeah normal has it too
but its not the move i was talking about
||im talking about when he summons the spectral horse knights and then does a huge slam with his shield that has a golden AOE||
rancid siren
Oh yeah that too
solemn shell
||or when draconic does the same thing and then does the dragonking cragblade ash of war||
rancid siren
Yeah
solemn shell
||godskin duo has similar "super" attacks, one for each of them, and they're cool||
solemn shell
solo recluse is really tough
i just died over and over again to minor field bosses and then got oneshot by the boss cause i had barely any levels
i just need to get a build started and then im fine i think
solemn shell
i think i need other people to even get something started
cause i just dont get enough runes to level up enough to beat the first night
i think with melee characters it wouldnt matter as much cause me being the targeted one is kinda the point
but as recluse im the only person to target and i kinda need to not be targeted
pure valley
To do solo i just prioritize churches and the mausoleums day 1.
rigid dune
Ironeye is a very good beginner character. I appreciate the well thought-out design.
Invuln super that is also a rez tool without having to commit is kinda nice.
solemn shell
To do solo i just prioritize churches and the mausoleums day 1.
mausoleums?
solemn shell
Invuln super that is also a rez tool without having to commit is kinda nice.
also good crowd control
pure valley
Blue buildings with a hole(usually)
solemn shell
do you mean rises
pure valley
No
solemn shell
or maybe the enemy camps that are inside of churches?
they usually look like manus celes
pure valley
Yep
solemn shell
ah those
yeah those are good
usually a really easy boss
if they have a hole they have incantations too
pure valley
But with 2 types of churches that gets confusing
solemn shell
id call them cathedrals
pure valley
usually a really easy boss
Unless is the golem I hate
solemn shell
you hate the golem?
also just beat ||the 7th nightlord|| with some randos, that was some jolly cooperation
also might be my new favorite boss, that was really fun
vital schooner
solemn shell
||darkdrift knight and equilibrious beast both just seem wayyy harder than all the other nightlords||
solemn shell
just beat the 6th boss with an absolutely goated team of randos, love these guys so much
all i have left to beat is ||libra and heolthor||
solemn shell
i think the game could benefit from switching up the map a bit after the first night?
like maybe enemy encounters youve already cleared turn into new encounters
i think it would be nice if there was more stuff to do after the second night too
like maybe they could expand the zone so you have a chance to fight a boss or clear an encounter that you missed
i just think its kinda silly that they have the goo in the middle as like, an option, but theres no other option
rancid siren
like maybe enemy encounters youve already cleared turn into new encounters

solemn shell
we love cheesing npc bosses
one of my favorite things to do is put giant hunt on a guts greatsword and just giant hunt them over and over
also just beat the 5th nightlord with an absolutely goated team, ill never forget you cranel and chinchilla673
rancid siren
i think there's a cheese for malenia where you just use giant hunt or upward cut ash of wars and she cant do anything
willow valley
I know there's one with the Bolt of Granssax

I'm going to crash out of you guys compare a multiplayer experiment with no story that everyone's going to forget in a month to a timeless classic that has fan theories talked about to this day
languid axle
I mean theres DS enemies here I'm sure that's gonna get some theorists going
rancid siren
there is loosely some lore and story you can read about
you can read about each character's story in this one area and it updates as you progress the game and gives you special quests for each character
nothing revolutionary but they did try with that

just cause you dont think its peak doesnt mean its not peak
also i wasnt even saying they're the same quality (though i do think nightreign is better) its just funny that they actually have lots of parallels
languid axle
True
solemn shell
another thing is that they also have different "playable characters" more than the original game (the masks do technically turn you into a different character i think)
languid axle
Also ngl I feel like saying a game has a lot of theories isn't a good metric to how good a game is
Cause if that's the case shit like fnaf must be martin Scorsese levels of cinema

Eh, link manifests the abilities of dead people, close enough
solemn shell
its close enough yeah
languid axle
Except the fierce deity mask maybe?
solemn shell
also its a world thats just like slightly off from the other one, with lots of reused assets
also, the nightlord is the antagonist, majora lives in the moon, theres a connection to be made there
languid axle
Cause some people therorize that's not based on a specific person, rather it's the manifestation of terminas hope for the future/rage at majora and skull kid for being pricks
As such it's only obtainable after helping everyone and it's form is adult link cause it's effectively manifesting his theoretically strongest form.
languid axle

Also if it's anything like ELDEN ring, both games scenarios are loosely caused by someone mucking around with a Eldritch thing of incredible power, and a mind/will of its own
solemn shell
truueee
languid axle
Initially manifesting as the main antagonist, but who's final form is a beast who's ultimately hellbent on destruction
solemn shell
||technically not accurate to nightreign but we'll let it slide||
languid axle
One could argue Majora's mask moreso wears skull kids body rather than the other way around and as I understand it that's fairly similar to radagon I think
languid axle
Right, but isn't nightreign what happens hypothetically if the tarnished never showed up in ER ?
languid axle
Therefore ultimately the games events being set in motion by a similar thing?
Is the ELDEN ring in the game
Like at all
solemn shell
and they're spoilers so i dont want to actually tell anyone who hasnt also beaten the games

Nnnnnnno, it's a completely different scenario
solemn shell
yeah its quite different
languid axle
Still like, 5 main plot point parallels to LoZ:MM and ERNR
solemn shell
||i have a theory that its a prequel and its just a forgotten time in the past of the lands between||
languid axle
Ah that'd be fun
||possibly could explain the DS enemies there, as the name "the lands between" implies some transitory area, possibly between dimensions/time itself||
||With possibly the ELDEN ring itself forming a stable but stagnant state to the land||

Skull kid was a dick to everyone in termina before but the mask made him worse lmao
rancid siren
i always felt like there had to be an intentional connection between ER and Dark Souls seeing as they have patches, the archtrees/erdtrees and basilisks
solemn shell
tbf every game has patches
rancid siren
true, even armored core
solemn shell
sekiro is the only one that doesnt
languid axle
Is there a armored core in NR?
solemn shell
even armored core, even bloodborne has patches
solemn shell
Is there a armored core in NR?
not that ive seen yet
but probably not unfprtunately
rancid siren
im pr sure fromsoft is making a new armored core
solemn shell
actually armored cores are absolutely massive
i dont think wed be able to fight one
languid axle
I'm not buying the game then
rancid siren
i remember people talking about fromsoft hiring specifically for modelling military weaponry and stuff so it's kinda obvious
languid axle
Itd be hilarious as a secret boss
solemn shell
its kinda expected from how popular ac6 was as well
rancid siren
fighting an armoured core would be hell, imagine trying to hit it while it just sprays dual miniguns at you
languid axle
It'd be hilarious tho
rancid siren
actually armored cores are absolutely massive
iirc everything in ac6 is actually loosely to scale if you put it against stuff in elden ring
solemn shell
but they are really big compared to the player right
im pretty sure there was a zullie video about this
rancid siren
they're like as tall as a 2-3 storey house
solemn shell
zullie my goat
rancid siren
so pretty big
solemn shell
thats actually shorter than a furnace golem isnt it
rancid siren
maybe...
rancid siren
they vary in sizes between games im sure
languid axle
So itd be possible
solemn shell
i suppose
rancid siren
i just remember trying to measure back when i played ac6 and the ones in that games were about 3 storeys tall
languid axle
It'd be hilarious as a Secret encounter

they'd most likely do a ac6 one
its the most recent game, its the well known one
rancid siren
it's cool though cuz the worm and the big rebel mech you get in those couple missions in ac6 span like half the ER map each

Like you go over to a area, see a bunch of dead dragons, just to see a huge fucken mech beating their asses lol

they finally figured out how to do that type of boss
willow valley

Iirc the ACs in AC6 are 20 meters tall
solemn shell
theyve been trying for so long and giving up
willow valley
What's really sick is that the models are just that big
solemn shell
the straw doll in sekiro was supposed to have enemies on him, there was an unused ds2 enemy that you would climb on, they just wanted to do stuff like that
willow valley
You can port them into other FromSoft games and they're massive
rancid siren
What's really sick is that the models are just that big
it's actually great too cuz despite everything being massive, game runs perfectly fine lol
better than ER even in my experience
willow valley
Yeah

it's actually great too cuz despite everything being massive, game runs perfectl...
mostly
willow valley
They were working Voodoo magic with AC6
solemn shell
i think its definitely advantaged by the fact that its small maps at a time and not an entire world rendered at once
rancid siren
tbf also basically no grass or anything like that since everything is all snowy and metallic
solemn shell
yeah that too
also they dont have to worry about the details of smaller textures as much, cause you cant zoom in to look at them
willow valley
They should take a page outta the PS2 era's book and just make grass PNGs fr fr ong
rancid siren
well you can on the ACs since the customisation is really important in AC
solemn shell
im talking about the maps though
rancid siren
yeah
willow valley
There's also a photo mode
So you can get all up close and personal with the maps if you want
rancid siren
i really gotta get back to AC at some point cuz i was finally going through them just a month ago but i got caught by expedition 33 and now nightreign
solemn shell
i think elden ring has the problem in the dlc where they need the furnace golems rendered at all times
and thats probably a reason why the dlc is more laggy than the basegame
willow valley
i really gotta get back to AC at some point cuz i was finally going through them...
You should, they're peak
rancid siren
yeah im at ac2 atm, i'll get back to them once i finish nightreign
the original trilogy for ac1 is actually surprisingly solid for a ps1 game
worst thing about them is the camera being so slow...
|| that platforming section just before you fight the two nineballs at the end of AC1 has to be one of the worst things i've ever played lmao ||
rancid siren
i didnt even fight the second one i was just zooming for the end of the level at that point
masters of arena was pretty peak tho
though i ended up making such a good AC by the end i couldnt enjoy that final boss lol
willow valley
Ah, you used that gun
A shame, but it's also kinda the only way to beat the game cuz Nineball has 2 iirc
rancid siren
if it was that one pistol then yeah i suppose...
i also had one of those rocket launchers
it was so solid i just beat every ac except for the second to last one who was ironically harder than nineball
had to switch to his build just to beat him lol
willow valley
That's probably because he also has the pistol and frame perfect reactions
rancid siren
naw he had laser cannons iirc and a super tanky build
so i just did the same thing with a ton of energy resistant parts and i won
willow valley
Nice
I know one of the dudes in the arena has it, and needless to say it is a pain
rancid siren
it's actually really cool how masters of arena has actual personalities to each ac
like if one of their descriptions says "they'll avoid you until you run out of ammo" they'll try to do it (their AI might not work properly but it's there)
willow valley
It is, and their writing is really fun, definitely speaks to how they're pretty much always able to create such amazing characters
rancid siren
yeah i'll always be a fan of giving game enemies their own personality
solemn shell
speaking of that, i think the nightlords are really well done
pure valley
i think so too except for eq and the dragon
rancid siren
adel was cool as hell
solemn shell
<:NagoNod:937458032139436032> i think so too except for eq and the dragon
i dont think dragon is as good for characterization, and i think eq is the best in terms of characterization
rancid siren
slightly gave me bloodborne flashbacks just fighting a monster that's actively raging through the arena with no care for itself
solemn shell
he does feel very bloodborne
you know thats something i like about the nightlords
they all feel kinda outside of the game and inside of it at the same time
they feel like they could be in any fromsoft game, but also couldnt be in any fromsoft game
rancid siren
i mean they are kinda alien to both er and ds
and probably designed by alot of newer fromsoft employees so it's different vibes
pure valley
i dont think dragon is as good for characterization, and i think eq is the best ...
The dragon i dislike because of his third phase. If you don't have the mountain blessing the fight feels uphill
solemn shell
ive never fought him with mountain blessing and i think its one of the easier fights in the game
pure valley
Same with eq, you need a bow or for someone to drop an ult on his meditation
pure valley
?????
languid axle
What do each class do in NR?
pure valley
Bonk
solemn shell
pretty much
solemn shell
theres 4 support class and 4 tank class id say
languid axle
Who bonk the goodest
solemn shell
raider
solemn shell
nah definitely raider
languid axle
I mean with like beeg sword
solemn shell
nah definitely raider
he has a move that ignores knockback
he uses greataxes
his ult summons a giant gravestone that gives everyone an attack buff
his skill does more damage after taking enough damage too
he bonks a LOT
pure valley
I mean with like beeg sword
Wylder starts with a greatsword
solemn shell
just a normal greatsword though
solemn shell
he doesnt use the big swords like raider would
only ones that arent are duchess and revenant
pure valley
Duchess worst class change my mind
solemn shell
wylder, raider, guardian, executor, recluse, and ironeye are available from the beginning
solemn shell
Duchess worst class change my mind
she is a really good support cause of her skill
languid axle
Splendid
solemn shell
its basically an ult tied to a skill cooldown
languid axle
I can choose clang or BUNK
pure valley
It requires the her player to not be braindead
solemn shell
its pretty easy to use
pure valley
Which as I'm learning is very hard to find
solemn shell
big damage happens to enemy? use the skill and that damage is doubled
languid axle
Is there a upgrade carry over system or nah
pure valley
Sort of
solemn shell
theres relics that have special effects that you can equip
last wing
solemn shell
you get them after losing runs
pure valley
You get little gems that you can equip and they give small to very good passives
pure valley
big damage happens to enemy? use the skill and that damage is doubled
Again this requires the player to not be brain dead and to understand fight dynamics
languid axle
Wylder or raider?
solemn shell
it gets enough value anyways if you just spam it off cooldown
last wing
Wylder or raider?
I prefer Wylder personally
pure valley
But not if you have a better third
solemn shell
its just much harder to survive as duchess is the problem
languid axle
I prefer Wylder personally
Does he have funny clang sword
solemn shell
her dodge is supposed to be better but its kinda worse
solemn shell
Does he have funny clang sword
he has a grappling hook
last wing
Does he have funny clang sword
He do be having a good clang greatsword
languid axle
Oh fuck
pure valley
Id much rather have recluse, rev or ironeye on the sidelines than duchess
solemn shell
you can grapple enemies and either pull them to you or pull you to them
languid axle
Guts with Nero grapple hook?!?
last wing
He's also got a massive explosive
pure valley
languid axle
AH FUCK
solemn shell
his pilebunker is basically insta stancebreak on lots of enemies
last wing
I audibly go "BOOM" every time I use it
pure valley
And he gets a free dodge
solemn shell
it does feel good
languid axle
Can I customize my look or nah
solemn shell
And he gets a free dodge
oh yeah if he takes fatal damage he dodges it once
solemn shell
Can I customize my look or nah
yes and no
solemn shell
||you unlock other skins for characters after a certain point||
pure valley
Thats it
last wing
You don't mix and match armor sets like normal Elden Ring
pure valley
Thats not a spoiler
solemn shell
yeah armor doesnt exist
pure valley
Spoilers would be what the skins are
solemn shell
more or less
pure valley
But the ability to apply skins is advertised on the deluxe edition
last wing
Unga you should join me
solemn shell
the skins are very cool for sure
last wing
It's hella fuckin fun
languid axle
I may
solemn shell
we should do a classic trio some time
pure valley
Very very fun
languid axle
Honestly prolly better than normal ER multiplayer cause you don't have to worry bout losing souls or nothing from the sounds of it lmao
languid axle
How so?
solemn shell
you lose a level when you die
and time
time is a very important resource in this game
solemn shell
you get your runes back if you go back to the area at least
pure valley
Dying 3 times on night one solo is probably gg
last wing
we should do a classic trio some time
Well well well
If it isn't the Blowjob UNGA Brothers
languid axle
But like tbf
It's a run by run game
solemn shell
you get your runes back if you go back to the area at least
and it adds the runes for the level to your lost runes, so you can always get the level back if you get your runes
languid axle
So like I think I'd feel less bad about losing shit if I lose it at the end of a run anyway
languid axle
Unless levels carry over between runs
solemn shell
they dont
pure valley
The win condition is different than in soulsborne
languid axle
Ok cool
pure valley
You're aiming to be able to kill the nightboss
solemn shell
win condition is basically get lots of levels, get a good weapon
pure valley
Where in er you want to kill the last boss
languid axle
I will, perchance, purchase the reigning night
solemn shell
fair warning
this game is STRESSFUL
you really gotta make use of your time well if you wanna win
pure valley
And also know your own strength
Fighting a boss that you can barely beat can kill a run
languid axle
Is the greatsword in the game
solemn shell
yes
pure valley
Yes
solemn shell
its not the best but you can upgrade it
languid axle
Can I consistently get to it?
solemn shell
not consistently
pure valley
Its a common iirc so yes
solemn shell
it is a common
languid axle
Excellent
solemn shell
but theres lots of commons
pure valley
But like it's not as good unf
solemn shell
but you can upgrade it to epic
and make it a lot better
also i will say
im pretty sure colossal greatsword is the weapon type with the most legendaries
there are a lot
languid axle
Ah HEEEEELLLL YEAH
solemn shell
ruins greatsword, grafted greatsword, starscourge greatsword
uhhh
theres more i think
pure valley
Black blade
languid axle
Big slab
solemn shell
oh yeah maliketh's black blade
languid axle
What's the biggest slab
solemn shell
its basically just HOS sword

Or Lazer slab either or really
solemn shell
looks like someone just took a rock from some ruins and said "yeah this is a sword now"
languid axle
Only thing better than a BFS is a FBFS
Or a LBFS
solemn shell
it has awesome gravity shockwaves on heavy attack
solemn shell
Only thing better than a BFS is a FBFS

Flaming big fucking sword
solemn shell
ahh
languid axle
Lazer big fucking sword
languid axle
Excellent
solemn shell
theres lots of really good massive weapons
one of my favorite things about elden ring and nightreign
languid axle
Excellent I will consider buying
languid axle
Excellent
solemn shell
so you dont need 70 strength to wield colossal greatswords
oh i just remembered something
me and a friend started an elden ring soul link
like the pokemon challenge but with weapons in elden ring
and its randomized but we have different seeds
but we're saying a death doesnt count unless we dont get our runes back, because we are not good enough to beat the game otherwise lol
i think i should try a solo nuzlocke of the game at some point but it would be so tough
i wonder how many levels you can get from just the runes from bosses
solemn shell
it is really cool it just also kinda sucks
i think really honestly the problem is that hes in nightreign
if you could rematch him over and over after dying it would be a lot better
they should add a boss training mode of some sort imo
rancid siren
yeah
solemn shell
like i love his difficulty
rancid siren
i was running so many dmg negation buffs
solemn shell
it just makes it annoying when you have to take 45 minutes for each attempt
rancid siren
and i was just trying to keep my teammates alive while they take like every instant kill move imaginable
solemn shell
or an hour i guess
yeah lol
its really hard ||when they dont know how to dodge the lasers from the ground||
rancid siren
|| i know his weakness is ironically madness but i havent seen like any madness weapons or items in-game at all ||
solemn shell
|| i know his weakness is ironically madness but i havent seen like any madness ...
i kid you not theres 1
rancid siren
solemn shell
||vyke's war spear is the only madness weapon, theres technically fingerprint shield and frenzyflame seal too, but those barely count||
the spells are there too ofc but its hard to find those spells ||and they dont buildup much madness tbh||
rancid siren
they shouldve made || his weakness sleep ||
solemn shell
||i think it might be possible to find a weapon with the "add madness to weapon" modifier, but madness camps are like low level and dont have good drops so its rarer?||
solemn shell
they shouldve made || his weakness sleep ||
honestly just anything other than what it is would be fine
||i think also if any other boss had that weakness, that would be fine, cause all other bosses are easier||
also uh
||i genuinely have no idea what madness does to him because of how its just impossible to find||
||im guessing maybe it does a burst of damage and makes him do the rampage thing he does when you break his meditation?||
really cool boss besides the issues though
love the way he moves and the aesthetic of the attacks and stuff like that
||i also like how he has madness not because of the flame of frenzy, but because he basically meddles with stuff he shouldnt (turning stuff into gold)||
pure valley
||im guessing maybe it does a burst of damage and makes him do the rampage thing...
||I'm pretty sure it makes him swap between his two forms||
pure valley
But yeah being able to practice bosses would be a great qol
solemn shell
i honestly wouldnt care even if you have to like reach them 3 times before unlocking it or something
having it at all would be nice

First impressions of nightreign is that its pretty fun, havent gotten a group together for it yet. And my buddies disconnected on an online run. But solo it was pretty neat. Like a lot of rougelikes early run really really matters. And the difficulty is there. The tone reminds me a lot of Hades 2 which I enjoy, and I just really look forward to playing more.

yeah tbh most of the difficulty is in the early game
once you get started its a lot easier
solemn shell

isnt this the guy that plays stupid on purpose to get more views
paper otter
yeah tbh most of the difficulty is in the early game
its how most rougelikes are generally. You play well early when its tough and the later game is easier. Im a big fan
Gotta do a trio with people I know sometime, cuz my guys both ran sekiro dude, couldnt parry, and died in 7 minutes
solemn shell
thats funny

||accidentally rolled an attack that i thought was entirely impossible to roll through||

that´s why its good
solemn shell
i know its absolutely peak
||one of the bosses is literally just seltas queen and i saw it and went YOOOO SELTAS QUEEN||
solemn shell
just noticed ironeye has some weird auto-aim on his heavy attack
those targets are not evenly spaced and the arrows just went for them
solemn shell
ive been in queue for so long
||does nobody want to fight darkdrift knight right now???||
rancid siren
I think the queue limits you depending on what content you've seen in comparison to everyone else
Especially if it's the shifting earth events
solemn shell
well ive beaten all the nightlords
and i made sure the shifting earth went away
i guess maybe other people arent allowed to join me rather than me not allowed to join others
rancid siren
I remember I beat gladius before my friend so I had the volcano and it took a while to get anyone and that was day 2 I think
solemn shell
me and my friend beat gladius in like our 2nd run and it took so long to find anyone after that
solemn shell
a lot of people probably are doing them in order yeah
rancid siren
Classic fromsoft '99% of players haven't gotten the you died achievement' thing
That said
rancid siren
I've been doing the earlier nightlords in order with my friend and getting near instant matches with randoms
solemn shell
the one that you finish if you die 3 times
solemn shell
I've been doing the earlier nightlords in order with my friend and getting near ...
i usually just queue for all of them at once
||but this time i have a remembrance quest to kill fulghor||
might have to wait for my friend to get online so i have another person
rancid siren
Yuh
rancid siren
I played earlier with mine and we almost did a 3/3 ironeye run for augur
pure valley
||but this time i have a remembrance quest to kill fulghor||
honestly do it solo tbh
rancid siren
But the random was petty af and rq lol
solemn shell
honestly do it solo tbh
i do not think i can
pure valley
with the solo buffs + the od class you get to play its way easier imo
rancid siren
But the random was petty af and rq lol
He missed out cuz we won
solemn shell
But the random was petty af and rq lol
why in the world would you rq on augur
rancid siren
It wasn't even the first night yet
He tried to fight like every night 2 level boss instantly after we glided in and raged the second time we couldn't reach him for revives lol
Astounded he even made it past gladius
solemn shell
He tried to fight like every night 2 level boss instantly after we glided in and...
going for level 2 bosses on night 1 is like the worst mistake
pure valley
was he on executor?
rancid siren
Ironeye
pure valley
lmao
rancid siren
We all ran ironeye funnily
solemn shell
i feel like its usually executors
solemn shell
We all ran ironeye funnily
i had an all ironeye run on augur once too
pure valley
executor can take some day 2 bosses on night 1
solemn shell
it was funny
solemn shell
executor can take *some* day 2 bosses on night 1
i think anyone could do it tbh, but it just takes long enough that its not worth it
rancid siren
He mightve chose ironeye for the bit lol
pure valley
i think anyone could do it tbh, but it just takes long enough that its not worth...
yeah but i mean that executor can do it efficently enough with bleed
pure valley
but its like magma worm and AS and thats it
pure valley
ancestor sprit
solemn shell
star fist is busted for everything tbf
solemn shell
ancestor sprit
oh right
pure valley
though like
solemn shell
i feel like executor would be able to kill tree sentinel too
maybe not draconic but normal at least
solemn shell
he is
pure valley
much rather him than dts
solemn shell
ive seen him before as a night 2 field boss
solemn shell
much rather him than dts
yeah lol
rancid siren
I've seen tons of tree sentinels
rancid siren
I think they're easy but I always mess up when they use their shield moves
solemn shell
the shield moves are a bit harder to dodge tbf
usually the only time i ever get hit by a tree sentinel
pure valley
jump
solemn shell
well if he hits you with the shield directly that doesnt work
rancid siren
I'll keep jumping in mind for the big slam move I guess
pure valley
its way easier to jump for me
solemn shell
its weird that i actually really like tree sentinels
ive fought so many of them, given how many there are in the game
which is like, 5 i think?
3 in basegame and 2 in dlc'
rancid siren
Yeah there the beginning one and then the duo in altus
solemn shell
yeah and then i also played some mods which iirc have an extra tree sentinel
rancid siren
And in the dlc it's the duo near || Marika's hometown I forgot the name ||
solemn shell
i think it was elden ring reforged that adds one in front of the dectus lift
solemn shell
And in the dlc it's the duo near || Marika's hometown I forgot the name ||
yeah
rancid siren
The dlc ones feel so scuffed
solemn shell
i think it was elden ring reforged that adds one in front of the dectus lift
it also forces you to fight both of the duo at the same time which was really stupid
solemn shell
The dlc ones feel so scuffed
idk they feel just as easy as basegame to me
rancid siren
Cuz they generally don't fight together but are the same boss iirc
solemn shell
anyways
i desperately need people to play with me
i am not gonna get a game in matchmaking
i think it'd be funny if we had a nightreign matchmaking role
solemn shell
i got a game actually
solemn shell
it was funny, i left my pc and then i came back and i was gliding in
we won handily
these guys were like
absolutely goated
pure valley
augur?
last wing
Yeah
Should also lock in Ironeye when fighting him I think, I cant really get in consistent damage if I'm not
solemn shell
Idk how to deal with the AOEs
its a weird timing, but rolling does work
last wing
its a weird timing, but rolling does work
I figured, I'm just doing it wrong then.
solemn shell
unless you're talking about the thing where he does the spinny and the water shows up around him, in which case idk, ive never dodged it
but the water splashes, those are dodgeable
solemn shell
oh that you need to hit him with lightning to cancel it
an offensive ult probably works to obut idk
languid axle
It's the sleep aoe and shit I'm confused about
are there 5 hour energy consumables?
solemn shell
not yet
last wing
oh that you need to hit him with lightning to cancel it
No way to avoid otherwise?
languid axle
can you hit your friends to wake them up?
last wing
No, Sleep is a status ailment in this case
languid axle
Damn, MH rules don't apply
last wing
You hit your friends to revive them from near death
languid axle
Lmao
solemn shell
No way to avoid otherwise?
i dont think so
solemn shell
i know some people are mad at nightreign for reusing old bosses and stuff
but i feel like its kinda a love letter to the series
taking all these old bosses and showing them off to a newer generation
solemn shell
got an achievement for killing 3 different nightlords in a row
and then my next run had an executor who kept dying because he did stupid stuff and then later ragequit
like bro there is a reason we arent going into the castle that is currently being overtaken by the night
rancid siren
an offensive ult probably works to obut idk
The sleep aoe is a DPS check so you can use any offensive ult on it
So when fighting it, just save for that one move
paper otter
Almost beat nightlord last night with a friend, we got a really good rando. And had guardian, iron eye, and the magic girl im blanking the name of. It was a great run
paper otter
Anyone had the cool and hip issue of your game getting stuck loading halfway through when you're trying to get into the game
Ive done every possible fix and it still just doesnt work.
paper otter
I’ve been struggling with this bug for the past 4 and a half hours
I physically cannot play the game. I don’t know what is going on
last wing
last wing
Dawg I just pulled a heartpounding clutch on the dragon
His hp was at about a tenth left, I'm out of flasks, and then my teammates both die at the same time and have three bars to revive
When I tell you I've almost never played as perfectly as I did in that moment just to kill him
Wish I'd recorded that because goddamn
solemn shell
which dragon
solemn shell
gaping jaw is a dragon too thats what i was talking about
but still answers my question
and yeah thats absolutely sick
i feel like
having both teammates dead and the boss kinda low is the time that makes people lock in
thats when you clutch up
too many people decide "noo i gotta revive my teammates" but sometimes you just cant
last wing
too many people decide "noo i gotta revive my teammates" but sometimes you just ...
Yeah that was the thing, I didn't have my ult ready (I was Wylder anyway) and they both were at three bars to revive, I knew if I tried to revive even one of them I was gonna get clipped by smth
solemn shell
yeah
i think reviving a teammate at 3 bars is just a bad idea in almost any situation
if you have a tank and a dps alive you can have the tank take the attention of the boss and the dps revive the player, but any other situation and its a lot more difficult
last wing
Imma be real during that fight my Wylder was the tank lol, the executor or duchess would die and they'd be reviving each other while I've got caligo's aggro
solemn shell
wylder is a tank yeah
melee characters are the tanks (cept for duchess) and ranged characters are the supports (cept for duchess) imo
last wing
And I managed to get like, three stacks of the damage negation buff
last wing
melee characters are the tanks (cept for duchess) and ranged characters are the ...
Ehhhhhh idk about executor, you could say because of his parrying ability but he's so squishy outside of that
solemn shell
he can parry like almost anything and he has beast mode
i think he's a tank
also his damage is like horrbile
last wing
also his damage is like horrbile
solemn shell
horrbile?
pure valley
also his damage is like horrbile
Hes status mcgee
inbetween duchess and wylder imo
his ult is broken tho
solemn shell
Hes status mcgee
sword doesnt do status
languid axle
rancid siren
i think reviving a teammate at 3 bars is just a bad idea in almost any situation
It's pretty doable with the right build on wylder
I ran 2 flamberges and every revive I did I was doing a whole bar a swing
Which is alot more doable than with duchess on daggers for example
pure valley
sword doesnt do status
It literally does bleed
solemn shell
thats his normal sword, im talking about cursed sword
rancid siren
just did gaping maw solo
first one i did solo since the patch that buffed solos and wow that is uh
very easy
i didnt realise i was still 7 estus until the last 3rd of the fight
im not even trying to brag im just shocked cuz i just did really good damage
doing cerberus and sentient pest solo back then it felt like such an uphill battle
does anyone know what they did for the solo buffs?
solemn shell
i looked at the patch notes and it just says you can revive once on defeat and you get more runes
rancid siren
i somehow doubt that but idk
solemn shell
these are the only things that it says
rancid siren
sentient pest and cerberus i couldnt really get yellow damage or staggers but adel it was just back to back staggers and damage
maybe he's just weaker on solo on i thought he'd be
solemn shell
i know i beat augur on solo before the patch
i did barely any damage but it didnt really matter cause that guy is so easy as ironeye
rancid siren
it was also kinda crazy i had the gargoyle axe with poison and it'd take literally like one aow with poison mist and he'd instantly vomit from the poison
solemn shell
well he is weak to poison so he gets poisoned a lot quicker
rancid siren
true but idk, just felt like it'd be more...
i might try libra solo next
im trying to do the remembrances while i wait to schedule with my friend again
solemn shell
true but idk, just felt like it'd be more...
also the bigger the weapon the more poison buildup usually
in base elden ring i had a run with a poison giant crusher that usually poisoned things in 1-2 hits
solemn shell
i just like funny lightning bolt :D
rancid siren
i might try libra solo next
Okay so Adel just is weak
I didn't do yellow damage on Libra and it felt more or less the same as with the other nightlords pre patch
But it still wasn't very hard
solemn shell
libra is the hardest one imo
rancid siren
made it to the ||final nightlord || with my friend
that is very tough looking but so cool
fromsoft has really jumped the quality of their bosses since Elden Ring came out
solemn shell
that is very tough looking but so cool
its hard at first but honestly gets kinda easy after figuring out a few things
rancid siren
tbf...
~~i didnt die until like || halfway through second phase but my teammates kept dying over and over || ~~
solemn shell
yeah thats kinda weird
rancid siren
the reward for the last shifting earth though is so so so worth getting
solemn shell
||imagine dying to the first phase where you arent supposed to have trouble||
solemn shell
the reward for the last shifting earth though is so so so worth getting
||the rotted forest?||
rancid siren
|| noklateo ||
rancid siren
i've done all the nightlords and it just came up
i assumed it's just for getting so far
solemn shell
oh i mean i just havent gotten the secret
rancid siren
ohhhh
solemn shell
ive gotten the shifting earth a few times
rancid siren
it's probably the easiest to get tbh
solemn shell
mountains are pretty easy to get
rancid siren
||you just run all the way to the corner of the map and navigate though the city||
solemn shell
thats what i figured
rancid siren
|| you kinda have to zigzag through but there's so little resistance it's not a problem ||
solemn shell
yeah
||ive been through the city almost every time ive had the shifting earth, just never looked for the secret specifically, just kinda went there to fight the bosses||
rancid siren
|| imo it's probably the most worth it one of them all as far as i know ||
solemn shell
||i think either the rot forest or crater has the best reward but ig i dont know exactly what it has||
rancid siren
yeah i just recommend zooming straight for it next time u get it
solemn shell
||i wish there was a shifting earth that made part of the map into farum azula, would be so sick||
rancid siren
|| i'd love more than 4 of them but i'd love a second map even with the same shifting earths ||
solemn shell
||weve got mountaintops, gelmir, caelid, nokstella, just give us the rest of the areas||
solemn shell
|| i'd love more than 4 of them but i'd love a second map even with the same shi...
||i could see an alternate altus map being made||
rancid siren
|| i think we should get some like, madness areas like the abyss, or maybe one like shadowkeep castle with all the messmer fire ||
solemn shell
||i dont think we'll get much from the dlc, given that theres almost nothing from the dlc already||
rancid siren
|| a madness shifting earth would be so good for libra ||
solemn shell
||i could see a madness shifting earth happen, just not the abyss specifically||
||im trying to remember what the one dlc thing ive noticed was||
rancid siren
|| there's golden hippo, and the demihuman swordmaster ||
solemn shell
oh yeah thats it
rancid siren
i think we could get dlc stuff in a future dlc tho
solemn shell
yeah i could see a dlc dlc
rancid siren
i'd love a dark souls dlc tho
solemn shell
shadows of limveld
rancid siren
just slap in anor londo as an event
solemn shell
shadow of the limbeld
solemn shell
just slap in anor londo as an event
nah man gimme irythill
rancid siren
it's the same thing basically...
solemn shell
so technically yes but i mean irithyll irithyll
not the anor londo part of irithyll
rancid siren
i'd love some silver knights and gargolyes tho
maybe like a capra demon + taurus demon duo
as a day 1 boss
solemn shell
you could just have capra demon as a day one boss ngl
rancid siren
Yeah but that's a bit too easy tbh
solemn shell
maybe capra + taurus + asylum as a day 2 boss lol
rancid siren
unless they make him wayyyy faster
solemn shell
Yeah but that's a bit too easy tbh
well the dogs included
rancid siren
asylum alone would suit a day 1 boss
solemn shell
i dont agree
rancid siren
especially the underground version with the AOEs
solemn shell
especially the underground version with the AOEs
stray demon is just asylum demon with AOE though
i think we just dont need asylum demon
what we need is O&S as a night 2 boss
rancid siren
o&s with updated moves would be so peak
solemn shell
ooh and i just had an idea, sister friede and father ariandel night 1 boss, with blackflame friede as a night 2 boss?
rancid siren
||i mean there's already multi phase night bosses ||
solemn shell
there is
rancid siren
i once had || commander niall and when i killed that we got dancer ||
solemn shell
i just think a night boss having 3 phases would be a bit much
maybe we cut out father ariandel and just do friede and she turns into blackflame friede at the end?
rancid siren
maybe have an event whereyou can kill ariandel early
solemn shell
or maybe we cut out phase 1
i think that makes more sense for the coop focused game actually
solemn shell
i once had || commander niall and when i killed that we got dancer ||
i didnt know that was possible
||ive only ever gotten one night boss at a time, just some of them might have two phases||
rancid siren
yeah i was shocked when it happened we all looked for the goop lol
solemn shell
||like nameless king starting on his chicken and then coming down to murder you||
solemn shell
it is peak
rancid siren
nightreign is at it's best when it's surprising you like that
just... gimme more randomisation plleaaaaseee
im surprised || so many rememberance bosses are missing from the boss roster in this game ||
solemn shell
i think its at its best when your group is totally in sync making a route and going on it, getting all the rewards on the way, sharing items that would be better for other classes, and using all their skills to help everyone else in bosses
rancid siren
|| mohg, fortisaxx, and malekith would be so good for this game ||
solemn shell
i disagree with one of those
rancid siren
but they're just not there
solemn shell
||id rather fortissax stay dead and never come back||
rancid siren
|| fair but he's be cool to fight as a trio ||
|| godrick is in the game and they made him so sick i just wish there were more bosses like that ||
solemn shell
||but having mohg and maliketh would be cool, i already mentioned a farum azula shifting earth but they could totally do mohgwyn palace shifting earth too, could have them as bosses of the shifting earth before you can get the blessing||
||and then you could have a revamped version of them as night bosses||
||like a magma wyrm guards the crater secret, but theres a stronger version of magma wyrm as a night boss, they could just do that||
rancid siren
|| lucaria as a shifting earth would be cool too ||
|| they'd need to update rennala as a boss for it tho ||
solemn shell
||in fact maybe sewer mohg and gurranq are the shifting earth guardians, and palace mohg and maliketh are the night boss (but still with new stuff cause its nightreign)||
solemn shell
|| they'd need to update rennala as a boss for it tho ||
absolutely
but yeah would be sick
wait
||we dont even have radahn in the game||
||thats THE summon boss||
||he needs to be a night boss for sure||
||i want godfrey as a night boss too but im biased cause hes my favorite boss||
rancid siren
||godfrey would be so funny with his grabs ||
solemn shell
true
rancid siren
||ohh they should give the slams on his grabs aoes so he's using you to smack people ||
solemn shell
||i could see night one godfrey night 2 hoarah loux maybe, similar to tree sentinel and draconic tree sentinel?||
i mean
its more similar to ||niall and o'neil i just forgot their names at first||
i just hope whatever they do for a possible dlc is good lol
cause i got the deluxe edition
so i get the dlc with that
i had a lot of faith in this game and its already paid off imo
solemn shell
i'd just love to see more out of it
yeah same really
its peak as it is, i just want more of this peak
cinder sinew
last wing
I know this isn't fromsoft but for anyone who actually cares and isn't a jackass, I'm pasting this here
Alright I've beaten the first boss of the lies of P dlc already
||Kinda ass tbh giant zombie alligator that felt reminiscent of the golden hippo from Shadow of the Erdtree. Other than that tho I've already gotten a couple new weapons and a legion arm and they're sick af. Very good so far||
last wing
golden hippo was a -1/10 boss
Indeed
This one wasn't all that bad at least, because Lies' parry exists
It still had a weird as fuck command grab that felt unintuitive to avoid
And just strange hitboxes all around cuz of how big and ||alligator shaped|| it was
solemn shell
I know this isn't fromsoft but for anyone who actually cares and isn't a jackass...
i saw lilaggy play the first boss of the dlc, it was cool enough
if kinda boring design wise
he played it early at like a gameplay showcase in japan or smth
so he only had an hour
didnt beat the first boss in it
it was funny too, i was watching the stream where he showed off the gameplay footage, and they accidentally sent him a different persons gameplay footage and they absolutely sucked at the game
never parried once
willow valley
golden hippo was a -1/10 boss
last wing
never parried once
Damn
vital schooner
rancid siren
just did an absolutely godly solo run of || darkdrift knight || as raider holllyyy
rot greataxe with lightning on it + 20% stance breaking from 2 seperate drops + lightning on dodge
bro could not do fucking anything
rancid siren
first time i did it we had a wylder random who clutched tf up when everyone died and won at like 1 health
solemn shell
that was me
rancid siren
also i tried playing executor and man i just dont feel this character at all
rancid siren
that was me
that must be true...
solemn shell
yeah it wasnt me lol ive never fought him as wylder
solemn shell
also i tried playing executor and man i just dont feel this character at all
i love executor
rancid siren
but yeah executor just feels very meh
solemn shell
would be nice if his ult was good at all but everything else i love him
rancid siren
mostly cuz the things you can parry feels very random at times
solemn shell
i havent found anything i cant parry ngl
rancid siren
like he can feel very fun and strong when you're parrying but then a boss bonks your head and i just get flattened lol
solemn shell
you mistimed the parry
rancid siren
maybe
i guess i should practice but man
i kinda wish his deflect was just his passive ability or something
solemn shell
i just like always having sword out
rancid siren
even if it cost his dodge
solemn shell
and playing sekiro
rancid siren
yeah i was super excited for him before the game came out
solemn shell
even if its like way worse cause the katanas he can get can be really good
i just dont really care
i want to deflect
rancid siren
he can abuse status effects really well
solemn shell
i just dont understand saying that
none of his abilities help with status
anyone could get the weapons that he gets
both sword and beastmode cant even buildup status
rancid siren
naw he has super high arcane stats
so his weapons get higher scaling on those statuses
solemn shell
i wish the game told you the stats people had
rancid siren
you can in the info book thing where the blacksmith used to be in roundtable
solemn shell
i just assume that people have certain stats based on their vibe
solemn shell
you can in the info book thing where the blacksmith used to be in roundtable
ive looked in there for tutorials i missed but didnt know it showed character stats
