Exactly! Ain't no free hits. If I get a hit on him, he gets a hit on me most of the time.

Now I have to use shields and practice parrying

Yeah it is lmao its one of those rectangle pillar rooms

Its a dungeon near the capital

you gotta clap the tree crucible knight not the 2 in the dungeon thankfully lol.

Still a crucible knight

Worst than Fire Giant?

Absolutely

use mimic or tiche and you'll be aight.

Castle Sol straight up whipping my ass

Crazy how much of the game is optional

2nd playthrough I didn’t even do Nokron or Haligtree or any of the underground areas. Even managed to get to Atlus Plateau and Leyendell without fighting Rennala

They really made an already boring and repetitive dragon boss fight even worst with Borealis. Like it's not even hard, dragon fights already take a while ut they just added aoe and s*** so you can't even burn his hp down as fast.

Damn you missed a lot if you didn't do any of the underground areas.

Yeah I mean I did everything my first playthrough but 2nd playthrough was just going through mostly fast to get the platinum trophy

yeah i feel like if you really mainline it you can do it in 1-2 hours

margit - godrick - rennala - get medallion halves - leyndell - fire giant - cfa - final boss rush

Fighting Radagon/EB is the very last thing I gotta do in the game

Currently grinding to acquire every weapon/armor/talisman in the game though, at least the ones I haven’t been locked out of, before I fight them and then go to NG+

Think I’m gonna use a mage + Dark Moon Greatsword build in NG+

I used Uchigatana + brass shield for the first 50% of the game…. Sword of Night and Flame + Carian shield for the next 20%

Then used dual halberd’s…. Golden Halberd and Banished Knight Halberd for the next 20% lol

For the final 10% I’ve been just messing around with random stuff… dual Bloodhound Claws is fun… used Rivers of Blood for Malenia fight…

When I’m farming though I used Mohg’s Spear because the AOE attack is amazing lol…. Can be surrounded by 20 enemies and that thing takes out all of them in a second

I have no issues with Crucible’s anymore and they’re def one of my favorite fights. Nothing really feels cheap when you get killed by them and every attack is dodgeable.

The tail whip sucks but isn’t the one in the Evergaol the only one that uses that? Maybe the one in Stormveil too? Idk I don’t remember ever seeing the tail move too often from them outside the Evergaol

It’s either the wings and they fly at you, the shoulder horn thing, the spinning spear

Worst fights for me….

Valiant Gargoyles
Death Rite Bird that uses black flame
Malenia
The first Astel fight f***ed me up for a while
Alecto f***ed me up for a while too
Bell Bearing Hunter’s… especially the one in Caelid

I have so many hours into this I forget a lot of my early fights

There's another chariot dungeon?

mage + dark moon has been my build ever since I got the sword. not bad but it's similar to the night and flame build u used except you can cheese more with the staffs obviously. might be boring for u

dragonlord blasphemous blade build might be my next build ngl

or something close to the assassins playstyle if you can do that

Yeah crucible knights were pretty fun tbh. Hard but fair

@Jerry_Seinfeld @rise_zero

The Great Stars were not made to look pretty... The Great Stars were made to deal PAIN

Are you fighting Radahn or something? lol

nah man, I need you to guide me on the order I should explore this s*** I got to Atlus Plateau which is my fav location so far so I guess im just working my way north.. but idk where im going
