Yeah I'm STR, using Executioner's Greataxe+7 right now.

It's right there for me though, I can feel it. If I can enter the zone at will the win is mine. I just had a loss where I made some godlike dodges with a pixel of health and had it down slightly past 50% health. That last 50% is going to be a mother.

The timing on that one hesitation overhead swing is what keeps messing me up. I dodge a split second too early then it's like "heh heh, better luck next time dude."

Urgh, spent almost an hour on
Fire Giant
and still haven't beaten it, I can dodge most of its moves pretty fine, but some of those quick ones can just end me instantly, kinda frustrated.

Any tips for beating Abductor Virgins boss battle? How am I supposed to evade their trap attack?

Oh man, switching to the DMG right before fighting Alecto was a trip. My heart was going nuts the whole way through but I did it in four tries.

Now that that detour's over...

I just found Staff of the Avatar, I was so hyped to find another strength/faith weapon and it's kinda ehh. The weapon art butt slam does like no damage and has such a long animation and my Golden Halberd has better stats.

Alright. Grinded to lvl 100 at the bird spot. Rest of the way will probably just do it naturally.

I got a ways to go as I'm just about to get to volcano.

Perhaps a fluke, perhaps an important PSA:

I was summoning help for a late game boss fight: Shardbearer/Blood Prince Mohg, and I summoned two players. The first player, after arriving, quickly hopped up onto somewhere outside the boss area and disappeared behind a wall or something. I wasn't paying attention as I was summoning another player. Once the second player arrived, we waited for the first for a couple minutes before shrugging and entering the boss fog. After entering the fog, I notice the boss health meter pop up empty, the boss death quote played, and the missing summoned player is already in the room. They then quickly did an emote and left the game.

The fight was softlocked, and we couldn't do anything. I had to boot the other summoned player and use the item to return to a site of grace. After returning to the point of grace the boss fight seemed to be reset as normal and I was able to fight them again. No idea what this was all about, but keep an eye out for shenanigans with this boss I guess.

So I finally made a Hoarfrost build today, and was finally ready to get farther than I ever have, and then I think Hoarfrost got nerfed.

I was able to kill the giants with it no sweat, now I'm not denting them nearly as bad. Hopefully I'm wrong and I just have some messed up equipment or something.

Anyone got any patch notes?

Malenia, Blade of you know who. I got her first phase pretty good. I even found a way to use my Ash to bait her big move while I'm super far away. Using my bleed and frost whips they proc really nicely on her for like 2-2k plus the weapon damage. That second phase though I have no idea what to do. I tried running away and get one shot and scarlet rot. I tried running underneath and get one shot+scarlet rot. Not sure what else to do? Save my wondrous flask for the damage negation?

Hoarfrost got nerfed, lol.

AND Barricade Shield? Damn, if they also went after Moonveil, then this would feel like personal attack.

Is your sword decently upgraded? By that point I think my sword was already at like +6 or +7, but 30 levels lower than you and I was just smashing through the enemies there. I also see your sword does mostly holy damage - I don't know anything about enemy resistances in this game but maybe they're resistant to it?

I'm sick of this place. The gaps between bonfires are WAY too long for the amount of bullshit you have to put up with.

Could you let me know if you can still play the PS4 version at 60FPS? I just don't want to update and find they've called it at 30 on PS4 Pro.

I took a run both indoors and outdoors and everything still seems smooth.

I also went to a glowing doorway in rainy / windy weather conditions that always causes the frames to drop for me in daytime and it stayed smooth.

Could be placebo effect but my rolls feel a bit more crisp too. Again, I could be seeing differences that aren't there. But the patch isn't making performance any worse for me at least.

I'm also sad, but honestly it was pretty busted. Unfortunately shields just don't count for shit in some fights, but when they do, barricade made it really, really easy. Would have been nice if they actually gave the specifics on it though, as far as how much more/how much shorter.
