Just saw your post in the old thread, really appreciate the gesture but I'm on PS5 unfortunately.
But yeah, if anyone can help carry me (I'm not going to pretend I'd be much help for the encounter, especially the latter half of it), I'd literally be in your debt forever. These are the words of a broken man.
Man... the hero tombs are just straight up not fun. Trial and error leading to insta-deaths because of those rolling things is just a drain. Especially in ones where they just start changing direction on you. If I could cheat my way through I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Yesssss. Even if it's the third time they pulled that same trick (Bloodborne + Dark Souls III) it still gives me chills when the realization hits.Running into the (original?) Roundtable Hold in the Capital was such a trip.
Grats đź‘ŹIT'S FINALLY DONE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sometimes you just have to test how high up you really are."Try jumping" reminds me of how confused I am when I see a dozen bloodstains on the steps at the top of a divine tower.
Are you powering up lmaoooo?!IT'S FINALLY DONE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Haha sorry it's a thing me and my friends type when something hype happens.
I was level 120 when I encountered Astel. I beat it in 2 10k hits with some assistance from my summon. Was a bit unsatisfying.Man, fuck Astel. I can get it almost halfway then it pulls out some one hit garbage. I think I need more levels for this fight.
It got to a point where I was legitimately relieved when I found a Hero's Grave that doesn't have any chariots.
IT'S FINALLY DONE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yea those things are absurd and where I had a majority of my deaths. They follow you throughout the entire stage. Infuriating. I never bring souls in there with me or rune arcs because I know I'm destined to die in there.Man... the hero tombs are just straight up not fun.

How the fuck do I even do damage to the crystaline guys in Haligtree. I haven't had any issues with any of these before but now I suddenly can't kill one, even with a summon. Not talking about the snail summoned ones either, these are the ones in the bottom floor where the Revenants keep spawning.
Malenia completely solo, in NG I tried for 10h, now in NG+ after 4 more hours it's done
Okay, I definitely need more levels then. I'm only level 90 right now.I was level 120 when I encountered Astel. I beat it in 2 10k hits with some assistance from my summon. Was a bit unsatisfying.
I literally just stopped playing cus I found one. Hero's grave are not doable after a long dayMan... the hero tombs are just straight up not fun.

A bit disappointing I had to rely on the colossal sword cheese instead of my trusty Longsword but attempts were taking so long I would've gone insane, now on to never see this boss ever againMalenia completely solo, in NG I tried for 10h, now in NG+ after 4 more hours it's done

Finally started playing this a few days ago. Loving it so far! Although feels a bit easy? Mini-bosses have been cakewalks and most randos as well.
The golden horse knight was a really fun fight tho! Took me more than ten tries I'm sure but fun all the way!
I think I'm at the first 'ordinary' boss now and it's also really fun! I feel a bit overleveled tho, got him down to less than half the first time :(
I think I'll put some points into weird stats and take off armor or something. Maybe Samurai is just OP, or the beginning is easy
I left to go grind out the Cleanrot armor set and warped around to get the stuff for the Preserving Boluses. By the time I was done with this area, I was almost out of those boluses. But yeah, the waiting is crap. I guess I could have used my faith +5 talisman for the cleanse incantation, but I was like nah, just gonna be stubborn about it. Glad it's over, although I have a feeling I left some decent mats behind.Ok, yo, FUCK the Lake of Rot. Easily the worst swamp area in a souls game imo. The concept is good, revealing more safe spots as you go with some things far out you need to get exposed to in order to get, but with my best immunity gear I was still having trouble (450 or 540 or something). It takes SO LONG for the rot to subside so there was so much waiting because the rot cure balls take a really rare material to make so I didn't have much to use and the run back to the boss was so painful (the lake boss) Just SO MUCH island hopping and waiting minutes for the thing to run out only to get killed or pulled into the rot or have my ash be an idiot and drag the boss away from me. Actually went into offline mode, disabled EAC and made it so I wouldn't get rot. Only time I've cheated like that in a Souls game (usually in a NG+ or something I'll give myself souls or rerolls to respec and try new builds).
Next part was miles better even if it was full of maybe my most hated normal enemy types.
Thanks, I had so many deaths at the last 10-20% I almost went insane hahaha
Keep playing buddy.Finally started playing this a few days ago. Loving it so far! Although feels a bit easy? Mini-bosses have been cakewalks and most randos as well.

The speed, like you said, can stack bleed or poison or other effects very quickly. They also have enhanced crit modifiers so they do more damage on backstabs and parries. Still though not many people use them as a main weapon, but I kept the scarlet rot dagger handy here and there for certain bosses.ask again:
is there any reason to use daggers over somethibg like curced swords?
so far except for the stagger chains due to thebspeed they seem alot inferior to other weapons.
dude that freaks me out so bad every time. I keep thinking it'll be a surprise boss fight with the fingers springing to life and I have to face master hand"Try jumping" reminds me of how confused I am when I see a dozen bloodstains on the steps at the top of a divine tower.

First off, well doneMalenia completely solo, in NG I tried for 10h, now in NG+ after 4 more hours it's done
Curious about the nerf he got, I defeated him in NG+ before itI kinda wish I could do pre nerf Radahn.
He was an underwhelming fight for a big shardbearer boss.
Glad I saw someone here mention that southern Caelid is easier than the Dragonbarrow though, he definitely fit as my third shardbearer. I'll keep exploring Caelid for now, see where that other guidance of grace at the swamp area is leading.
Then back to Altas.
