Yea that answers that then heh. There's a waygate portal stone thing buried in the snowfields that sends you to his area but from the opposite side of it, for use I suppose if you didn't do the invasion quest stuff.

Hrm anyone happen to know if you can get to swarm of flies from the mohg talisman teleport, or do you have to be able to take the portal in the snow fields?

Yea there's a bit of a plateau post-radahn for sure, and then as soon as you progress past the capital it's back to fuckin rape-o-clock

6 is being pretty generous. 4 of them are the same thing with a different color pallet lol. There's 3 if you go by available achievements. But yea I suppose if you have a build in mind with a specific really endgame item then NG+ is really the only play. Like if you wanna do a run with Granseax...

Alright someone lore me, this is the only bit I can't really figure:

And here I am starting run 3. NG+ just doesn't do it for me for some reason. Your character is already complete, so what are you even doing? Justn a boss rush? Meh. Time to see how miserable it is to start bandit and rush DEX/ARC.

Invasion PVP is awful though? Your odds of getting any kind of real/interesting fight are astronomically low. It's just an endless string of people with cheat engine edited characters to have full legendary talismans/+10 weapons at level 50 or oneshotting with spell parry bugs etc. There's just...

Just skipping ash summons in general is enough to turn almost any build in to hardmode heh, at least for a few specific fights depending on what you're doing. Just the AI fuckery that happens with a 2nd target in the arena is such a crutch it almost doesn't matter what the summon actually does...

Yea I started a 2nd playthrough rather that going NG+, but the overworld map OCD just gets to me too badly. I wound up on another like 80 hour playthrough doing every random shitty side tomb and ruins, collecting 50 additional weapons I'd literally never look twice at. I might give NG+ a try...

What have you bros been doing for ARC builds? Going through my list of weapons I'm not sure exactly how I wanna do this for NG+. The easy answer looks like what, 60DEX/40ARC or similar and just use poleblade/rivers of blood? Any of the ARC spells worth messing with besides flies for boss cheese?

Alright I need meme ideas for squire builds. Everyone on poeninja is arakali fags or using mirror wands for blade vortex nonsense with 2500 health.

Lmao my first play through was like 140 hours and I somehow never even found Placidusax. This motherfucker is like a 50,000lb fatass dragon that just pulls the teleports behind you memes over and over, what a fuckin cunt.

Goddamnit I just wanted to go some shopping from my man Iji, what the fuck is this shit:

tl;dr the jews summoned a fire golem during the holocaust

There are for sure a lot of weird poeninja warriors that just game the system to see 100m dps get posted or whatever. I don't know why but they definitely exist. The other thing you have to keep in mind is the way the XP ladder works - it's a moving window/snapshot, so the later in the league...

The problem is almost all the video games you play are actually terrible or merely mediocre at best, like actual all of them. Horizon or whatever other Assassin's Creed or the latest EA abomination whatever it may be are not good - they are skinnerboxes designed by psychologists to keep you just...

Yea stunlock ended up being the key ultimately. Switched to a 2h mace and even the normal R1s were able to break her attack chains and I could mostly lock her down for all/most of phase 1. Phase 2 she has so little health it ultimately is just rolling the dice a few times that she doesn't do too...

Is it actually possible to roll/dodge Milenias anime attack? My current setup relies super heavily on 2h for damage/stagger, but I can't survive her even using that attack much less avoid enough of it for her to not heal 40% health. I've tried: Sprint in various directions trying to build...

I'm honestly not convinced mimic was ever better than Tiche even before the nerfs, mimic just had meme power behind it and no one really bothered with Tiche.

Looks like the urumi thing, it's a whip-sword thing? It's mostly a whip but iirc it's R2 is unique with that big long distance thrust/stab.

Yea sword dance is lowkey the best sword/pole art heh. It gets slept on tho cause everyone is too busy jerking themselves off over moonveil and rivers of blood

Mine definitely came from night cavalry I wonder if this is like the DS2 black knight weapons where it's only a chance to drop from enemies that don't respawn and you can just get entirely cucked?

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Nightrider+Glaive It comes from one of night cavalry dudes someplace, I forget specifically which one has it. It's S STR scaling with heavy and can run all the polearm ash stuff

Is she specifically weak to parry? I gave up on bucklers super early on because even with a parry "hit" it wasn't actually staggering most mobs and you'd have to land 2-3 of them to get a crit opportunity. And yea giant hunt is fucking busted AF. Black knight halberd upgrades to like S+ STR...

Lmao yea lemme get right on that with my greatshield. I'm gonna have to change things up somehow though. I can tank her entire anime attack with about 80% of my endurance bar, but she heals for so fucking much still during it.

Lol Melania heals on blocked hits, I guess fuck my entire character?

Inquisitors spear from the virgins below volcano. Or the scavengers sword if you don't mind doing the grace warp thing to get there early, but that might not be great before you have occult infusion? Absolute early early game though is the winged scythe as others mentioned, or just the golden...

Anyone done/doing any heavy PVP yet? I'm basically done with my 2nd playthrough and am playing around with some respecs trying to find some fun stuff to invade with, but it's pretty lame so far. I can't come up with anything that even comes close to going toe to toe with the powerstance bleed...

Can confirm this is the way it works unfortunately. The beast seal doesn't for example scale any damage on the holy or lightning enchant either, those only scale on raw FAI regardless of the seal itself scaling from STR. The only thing it seems to actually scale is raw damage on nukes -...

If you wanna learn a bit about what the "idea" behind NFTs actually is, and how fundamentally flawed it and most of the web3.0/blockchain world are, this is pretty succinct: https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html

That list is pretty malarky. Half of his A-tier are just buffs that do nothing else of value, which is not what you want from your Ash aside from the hyper bleed seppeku builds. Hoarfrost and bloody slash being A-tier is similarly just a lie even though he's claimed to have "updated" his list...

It's Astel in the mine/dungeon in the snowfields, and it's not even close. Every attack he has is a hard knockdown? Check All his magic attacks are AoEs so large you can't possible get out of range of them if you were trying to melee him? Check Awkward as fuck hitbox with camera lockons that...

Anyone ever figure out what the shit is up with the ghost/summoned dragonskin soliders in the snow field? They show up fucking constantly and I've genocided this entire map multiple times now and never found any indication of what is summoning them or why.

Offense is the best defense against that dude. He has like 0 poise and you can stun lock him with 1h weapons even.

I just had to look at the old wiki and looks like I was wrong - you gained HP from leveling STR, not carry weight. The point still is kind of the same though, that leveling STR provided other side benefits that let you save on some points to try and handle the equip load from colossal weapons...

Gets me killed constantly. 3 jump R2s in and I think to myself SURELY THIS ONE IS THE STAGGER and the mob just eats it and continues on with their 32 hit attack combo while I stare at the YOU DIED words for the 85th time today.

I think the biggest issue is that STR in previous Souls games used to also scale your weight limit, so if you went big unga bunga mode you got some amount of the weight issues solved automatically for you, but now you also have to dump 30 or so in to endurance to even use the colossal weapons.

Bosses are never really the issue, it's all the trash mobs and how they scale in the final couple of areas. You suddenly have to treat every trash mob as a boss encounter and circle around them for 30 seconds waiting for a single jump attack opportunity or whatever. It just gets tiresome and...

STR/FAI is falling apart completely in the lategame. Mobs do too much damage to be able to trade with them and have too much poise to stagger with anything but colossal weapons. The entire middle section of like halbers/hammers/greatswords feels just awful against most of this - too slow to get...

I'm basically doing that right now with STR/FAI and using big unga-bunga weapons of various kinds. It's mostly fine? There's a few bossfights that are pretty ridiculous and very, very obviously designed with ash summons in mind. You learn some interesting stuff though kind of out of necessity...
