just did volcano boss, did not know you had to use the spear at first lol whoops. what a cool looking fight though

[Krandor]

You don't have to use it

[chazzyphizzle]

is there some way to cheese it as melee without the spear? waiting for his head seems like it would take an eternity

[Krandor]

I just spammed the shit out of Hoarfrost stomp until he eventually died.

As it stands I think reduvia is the only really good dagger

Just helped a friend last night get a second one of these to dual wield. Seemed pretty dope.

[Tyrath]

How do you get 2?

[Xno Kappa]

How do you get 2?

Summon your friend into your world or vice versa, kill the invader, get the item, and then “Leave” it for your buddy to grab. Ta da. Dual wield.

I don’t plan on using daggers any time soon, so I didn’t care about giving it up for a buddy.

[Tyrath]

Whaaa? I didn't know you could do that. Will it no longer work since I already killed the guy who drops it?

Does the other person lose the Reduvia entirely?

[Xno Kappa]

Whaaa? I didn't know you could do that. Will it no longer work since I already killed the guy who drops it?

It has to be with someone who hasn’t killed the guy yet.

Does the other person lose the Reduvia entirely?

Yup.

[Tyrath]

Aw damn

[Xno Kappa]

I’m sure it’s not too hard to find someone who doesn’t give a shit about the dagger.

[Krandor]

Considering you only get like... 8 each of the highest level upgrade items per playthrough there's plenty of gear you can just not bother with.

The only things you wouldn't want to give up are the legendary weapons, since you need all of them in your inventory/chest at the same time for the achievement

[Krandor]

Speaking of max level upgrades, if you upgrade a Keen weapon to +25 it's stats actually go down.

Afaik it's only the Keen affinity that is broken like this, but just fyi for those doing DEX builds (that said I think the special weapons are better anyways once you get to endgame equipment levels, Hand of Malenia or Bloodhound's Fang probably being the best DEX weapons)

[Mertron]

i am enjoying my bloodhound fang +10 quite a bit

[Cyn]

Just imagine how fun 2 of them would be.

[Salodin]

I'm gonna need help with radahn...lol

Spoiler: show

For the way my build was setup, it was better for me to do that fight myself. Ended up leveling to use Rotten Breath, casting that shit and kept re-summoning NPCs until he died because my health is low as shit.

Gelmir’s Hero Grave is perhaps the most dreadfully punishing dungeon I’ve encountered so far.

Trial and Error structure, amount of backtracking, lava pits, fights in narrow places where you swing to the wall and stagger yourself, drop down/jump puzzles that involve you to challenge the game mechanics…

Whoever desgined this area must’ve had a bad day.

Edit after partially beating it: Rewards were good though.

[Mertron]

i enjoyed that dungeon because finally beating it was very satisfying

also rolling around in lava is fun

[Mayareira]

Just beat it fully as well, decent rewards I guess. I’ve had more sense of frustration than satisfaction.

The problem with the grave is that it tries to be a Tomb Raider game without the supporting game mechanics. For example, you can ride the chariot to the boss but even if the tip of your sword touches the “airspace” above its wheels you instantly die.
