Just did him a couple minutes ago myself. Really cool fight and felt good to finally beat him after getting schooled at the start. Was also refreshing after the gimmick fight that was Rykard.
737 crashed in China, was cross posted in at least another thread. Apparently there's video of the crash, the aftermath. Not verified as far as i know as of yet
Found a giant blue machine on a ledge below the erdtree in caelid. Dude had a ton of hp's and did an extra special that formed 3 spheres that shot lasers at you. Barely killed him being level 120 and he gives 0 runes, no loot, and there's only one corpse on the ledge that gives a rune arc...
Biggest issue I've had with str 2H build is you're gimped against things you can't easily stance break. You now have to rely on dodge while using a weapon half the speed of a katana with only a little better damage.
1st character I fought him his arrow at the start one shot me. On my 2nd character that was better developed it maybe did 33% of my life, though I basically only pumped str/vigor/end
If you're talking the meteors and his phase 2 transition slam, I think those are auto 1 shots, but people were getting one shot by some of his regular attacks
He's talking about the spear dude in the first soldier camp with the great shield. He can be a bit of a bitch early on, especially for the 1st play through. One shot Radahn with my chonky str colossal sword boy. Not sure it says much about how strong he is or just how gimpy my sword/board was...
Sounds like my first couple hours. This is my first soulsborne game and I got my shit pushed in quite a bit before learning what to do (gitin' gud), Now I'm over 100 hours in and loving it.
I've had the opposite experience going from straight sword to colossal great sword. I'm getting way more reliable stagger and stance breaks with even the basic attack.
Yeah, you should be able to get to it fairly quickly, only need to get torrent. You can bypass stormveil through a secret route to get to the rose church.
You can clean the elements by heating them up while empty and spraying them with easy off, but only heat them to 160-200. Or get a generic caustic, mix with water, and do a boil out
2nd play through and i've found two catacombs, two caves, and two bosses I never fought before, and I'm at the start of altus after killing Rennala, and thats all without using the map/wiki.
Ranni isn't in the tower at all when the festival is going on, I checked and couldn't figure out why and even thought I was bugged. When I killed Radahn she showed back up and I was able to start the quest. She's not there during the festival because Blaidd is at the festival.
