[Andalusian girls]

[chazzyphizzle]

This fight is such garbage. Only boss that's made me get stuck to far. Obnoxious charge, bad camera. Bloodhound/Evasion AOW mitigates the charge. Getting fucked by that one long combo he does. Feel like that combo has more active frames than are in a light dodge roll.

EDIT: He dead. fuck that guy.

Messmer wasn't too bad, didn't find the Hippo that all the internet nerds have been whining about to be too bad either. Had a lot more trouble with the

Spoiler: show

secret boss under the fort.

[Mertron]

people complained about the hippo? that’s where i left off last night after doing a lot of exploring, only took a few tries. his grab move was very annoying to dodge though

in my travels i found the finger area but couldn’t progress into it (a message on the ground said i have to find a church, guess I’ll figure it out later), and made it to the area way south in the crater but it was blocked by a seal. when i was approaching the hippo castle i got a message a seal (and a rune?) was broken somewhere so i went and checked it after i killed the hippo and sure enough the seal blocking the way was gone so that’s where im heading when i get home tonight

oh i also found the path to the dragon area but i hard noped out of there

[Krandor]

You can see the church on the map, it's southeast of the shadow keep

And if you got the message about the rune breaking go talk to all the NPCs you've met

[Celeras]

I don't have the Arc stat to use it properly but even so I can still tell that the Ancient Meteoric Greatsword has an absolutely baller skill attached. Sword that big has no business being that fast lol.

[Prothescar]

Found the 'hidden' legendary 'swords' and they're a bit underwhelming. Not bad, but not nearly as fun as Rellana's swords

Spoiler: show

Guess the Sword of Darkness would help in a NG+ Holy run

[Bweigelt]

Well I gotta say it, the Divine Lion boss has got to be one of the worst bosses they've ever designed. The way it moves combined with the camera is just terrible. The one jumping attack it does just blocks out the entire camera and half the time you can't even see where your character is. How this same company can do a similar boss in Ludwig so flawlessly and then have this monstrosity is beyond me.

[Celeras]

I wouldn't go that far but the camera definitely fucking sucks on any large, oddly shaped boss that moves like a bat out of hell. But it should only take one to go "yep, don't lock on to this guy" lol

[Krandor]

I really like the Smithscript weapons. Yeeting the hammer at enemies is very entertaining, and all them get really solid scaling for INT or FAI focused infusions.

Locking on or not makes no difference on that boss that's the problem, if anything the camera is even worse if you aren't locked on.

[Celeras]

Guys

(optional? boss near 3rd main boss)

Spoiler: show

What the absolute fuck is Commander Gaius? I went as far as to horse sprint to the ledge looking to see if it was a sekiro-bridge gimmick fight and half the time I die before I even get there.

Jesus Christ he is relentless

[Krandor]

Yeah Smithscript Greathammer is nasty. Ranged attack without FP, Magic infusion to match my build, and gave it Savage Lion's Claw for some major burst.

Plus it's only weighs 9 so don't have to give up any defense.

[Mertron]

boss at the bottom of the stone coffin fissure gave me a good ass whooping last night so it was back to exploration time

why did they put a death rite bird in the dlc, rude

[Krandor]

Just use something with Sacred Blade as the art of war, it completely melts Death Rite Birds or the Ghostflame Dragons even if you're not running a faith build.

I was hitting the Ghostflame on the coast for like 500ish a hit with Rellana Twin Swords, meanwhile a +9 Inseparable Sword im hitting for like 6k-7k per AOW

Play smarter, not harder

[Mertron]

i one shot the death rite bird, i just hate them. horse go brrrr

my least favorite ghost flame dragon was the one fighting 20 adds at the same time but yet every time i run in for a hit everyone forgets what they’re doing and decides im the problem

black knight archer watching all his friends getting maimed by an undead horror: that guy on horseback over there minding his business is a dick
