I gave up gitin' gud for the first playthrough.

Dragon Rot Breath, Rivers of Blood katana and Nightmaiden & Swordstress Puppet spirit ash<<<<<<<< Death to all who confront me.

Enjoy Commander Niall once you get to him.

I really thought hard about respecing to use that rivers of blood katana.

Shit, you're that far already.

I'm actually not quite there but want to switch up my build. I have Volcano manor before I jump into the capital. Pure strength build is fun but it's a bit of a one trick pony. Was looking up builds and kinda wanted to do a bleed build and that was the sword everyone was pointing too. Figured I'd switch to it when I got it.

I think I'm going to do a flame build though. Not a pyromancer type but more of a warrior type. (Never tried that in a souls game) Don't even know if it's possible but I need to get past volcano manor before I actually do that.

I actually found that and checked it out already. That's a neat little (bitch of a) platforming spot. I lost about 50K ruins there thinking I was better than I was.

I have three weapon types:
Great swords (claymore, flamberge, etc) - use when I want bigger damage on slower bosses that have longer openings.
Dual wield scimitars - when I want to shred through non-boss and boss mobs with physical damage. It comes out so fast and does insane damage just hitting left bumper over and over.
Katana's: Bleed, bleed, bleed. I'm dual wielding the river of blood and Nagakiba at the moment. Fun as hell.

Never do quality enhancement, it's worthless. Keen, bleed, magic, sacred, etc depending on build.

I was screaming I was so pissed, I died 8-9 times on the last drop to the very bottom.

[Moses Scurry]

Found the Ringed City DS3 DLC. Ummm, this boss...she's not nice. This is going to take a few hours or days.

[Moses Scurry]

Beat the hardest boss in Soulsbourne history, then found a harder one.

[Moses Scurry]

3 bosses left from what I gather. Once you hit the northern regions, it get more linear which is nice.

[Moses Scurry]

And done. Never got gud. Plowed forward with max damage and spirit ashes.

[salamander]

oh yeah, I'm totally using spirit ashes.

I saw about a month ago that only 1/3 of all players had gotten the Margo, Fell Omen trophy/award. So you're at least in the top 1/3 of all players.

Have 38/42 achievements completed. Missed some weapons and need to complete it 3 more times. I've been farming Runes and just buying everything like 100% of all arrow types, all bolt types, all upgrade stones, etc. I think you lose all shop stuff once you start journey 2 which blows but it's just like DS.

The last boss's weapon you get when you turn in its souls is the best farming thing ever.

Nice. Getting close so I've got my Rivers of Blood and Lusat's Glintstone Staff maxxed out.
Trying to think of another style I can choose too.

dual wield a heavy beast clever is fun, or dual wield katanas, or dual wield the super short katana in the left hand and put parry on it.

I'm a dex/arcane/faith build at this point. dragon communion seal in left hand for black fire balls, the biting flies spell and some faith buffs. Then great sword in right hand. Then when I want to kick ass dual wield grossmessers with bleed and finally bow in last left hand slot.

basically:
RH: Greatsword/Grossmesser
LH: Seal/Grossmesser/bow

The 2nd half of my run was a faith build. It was fun.

Just beat it tonight and power ran through the first two major bosses so I could switch to the blood build. Took me like and hour which was really surprising.

[Moses Scurry]

It's like Sekiro, after that first play-through you can get through the first couple bosses in like an hour.

It reminds me of megaman like that a bit too. Takes months to beat but once you get good at a megaman game you can fly through it in like 3 hours.

[salamander]

God fuckin dammit. I literally just lost 3.9 million Runes.

Was trying to get through the entire 2nd game without losing my Runes. Malekath got me. Just bum rushed the shit out of me right away. Wasn't expecting it.

[Moses Scurry]

All achievements almost complete. Just need to do one more playthrough and do the standard Elden Lord ending. Knocked out Stars and Frenzy first.

So basically this whole story ended up being a family conflict like game of thrones.

I knew a lot of that but didn't know that Malekath was at the top of the family tree. How did I miss that?

I don't think he is, I think that's just a..."We have no clue where this guy came from". He is the coolest dude in the game.

Ahhh, gotcha. He is absolutely a badass.

[salamander]

Got my platinum. Went with sorceries and the moonveil katana for NG+2. I like the sword art but other than that was not very impressed with the moonveil.

[Moses Scurry]

Platinumed last night, really struggled with Radagon/Elden beast on the third go around. I get too impatient chasing that big asshole around the second phase.

Probably nearly impossible considering development but I wish there were some world changes based on your previous games ending.

Dual Scavengers swords with Occult affinity and the blood and chain-hit tailiman's is OP as hell. Black Knife Tiche is my hommie.

Black nice tiche is the best.

Yeah, I struggled on the elden beast my 3rd go too. Weird.

[Moses Scurry]

Possible Q3 DLC and other Bandi Namco and From games. Could be a fake leak.

I believe this is a fake. They just started planning on Armored Core not long ago. There's no way that's even close to complete. 3 DragonBall games as well. I don't know how you follow up Fighterz which seemed to do really well but like what else do you do there?

The Tekken teaser just dropped at Evo too but had showed nothing. So I think that is further off then next year.

[Moses Scurry]

Miyazaki did say they had 3.5 games in progress since 2018, once DS3 was completed.

Déraciné, that's the .5 game
Sekiro
Elden Ring
??????

As far as Armored Core, he said in 2016 “We are making a new Armored Core. We are still in the early stages of development.”

If this turns out to be real, I just want to say Barbarians of the Badlands is among the worst titles for a DLC ever. It's so bad, it's almost an amazing name. I still haven't gotten around to Elden Ring, but soon!

Moses, you owe it to yourself to get neck deep in this weird ass mech game they're coming out with. It'll probably be wayyyyyy less janky and sluggish then I remember the PS1 games being. I bet it'll actually play pretty well.

[Moses Scurry]

I will play it, From has my undying loyalty at this point.

YBBR, do you play console or PC? Just wondering in case there is multi player.

FromSoftware has usurped Naughty Dog for me at this point.

It seems like Naughty Dog doesn't even make games anymore. Just remasters of their old games.
