First Miyazaki makes that massive scorpion back in Belurat and now there's flying scorpions. Pretty sure I swung off that exact post in that fight. On my recent rando play through the eyes in that dungeon bugged out and would instant proc death had to just wait for them to register and move for every single section of those projectiles. These rune bears caused so much problem on the same seed one spawned on a stairway in shadow keep and the other completely body blocked a cliffside in stone coffin fissure, actual menaces.

Never seen that fog wall before, my only guess is it's a PvP fog wall though I'm not sure why it would be up during then. Some really nice loot this time 👀 You actually do a Captain America shield throw with the Smithscript Shield weapon art, it is also crazy good for only costing 3 FP and NPCs do not seem to input read it. Taylew is also a really solid spirit summon walks at a snail pace but is extremely tanky, people have used it to 1v1 the final DLC boss by healing it with Heal from Afar.

Golden Vow does exist in the base game as both an incantation and weapon art. Where the weapon art lasts about half the duration time, and the buff % is slightly reduced. I believe the consumable version is an upgrade over the weapon art with slightly higher buff %, and reduced FP cost for the trade off of being a consumable. I couldn't really think of any intended use case for that poise on drinking flask talisman

Feels like it would help you tank but at the same time if you’re spending that much time drinking flasks you’re not going to have a good time tanking

That Multilayered Ring of Light does leave AoE discs in position and can hit enemies multiple times kind of like the move Gideon uses back during his fight. Using the other iris on Queelign will give you his weapon which is a heavy thrusting sword that honestly looks more like a spear, but they call it Queelign's Greatsword thanks Miyazaki. I feel like Heal from Afar might be the best healing miracle in the game since you don't have to kneel down like the base game heals, there is a slight jank with the projectile AoE triggering on collision or max range, but it is a pretty sizeable area. It's around the middle of the list for FP cost but the heal scaling puts it at second place. If you need to heal yourself you just aim at the ground.

The Shadow Keep is truly a mystery bag of bosses going from my favourite Elden Ring boss to some of my least favourite bosses. I'm not sure if there is a tell for that Scadutree Avatar explosion other than just memorizing the arbitrary timing on it. Gaius does have fairly high bleed resistance. Torrent is allowed in this arena and I have seen people use the mount to , or a delayed double jump for the charge attack. I had to equip the crucible feather talisman to physically dodge that charge since it gives extra s but you take so much more damage with it equipped
@zcolbsterАй бұрын
Yeah there’s certainly a wide array but I feel more good than bad and you’re always going to have lesser bosses, especially with this many. I’d be curious with something like Gaius what the dev’s “intended” strat is because maybe horseback is what they had in mind

The one strat I saw for hitless is crouching towards the center on the attack where he's in the air and does the spin. I guess the crouch makes him bounce around your character box at least that's what it looks like is happening

@notKnotUp oh neat, I was having some success with the backwards diagonal dodge but not fully consistent. It would also put me in the way of the multi-stab follow up which maybe that helps with

The Shadow Keep is so massive with all the various exploration paths, elevations, and multiple entrances. Definitely some peak level designing for sure. Those Fire Knights does give me Lothric/Black/Silver Knight feeling although having completely different attacks. I believe for the dueling shields you do have to be physically holding block while attacking to get the block, though I could be wrong.

Thanks for the tutorial! If you still check your tutorial... Settings are not intuitive for me I'm missing: <>No elevation, just yardage. <> No "Perfect" displayed after a shot. <> Can't zoom in when around the green chipping. <> HUD display does not show green speed or numerical rough range. ~ Thanks ~
@zcolbsterАй бұрын
Under Display & HUD you can turn "Distance Info Position" to In HUD to always have elevation and distance to pin in the top right, if you have "Swing Timing" off in the difficulty settings, you won't see perfect, fast, or slow and if that's on, you want "Shot Feedback" on in Display & HUD. You want scout camera on in difficulty settings to zoom in anywhere or if you play with scout camera off, you can turn "Approach & Putting Cameras" on in Cameras to get cameras inside of 45 yards. Finally, under Display & HUD, I believe you want "Lie & Club Info" on for the lie range and such. Hopefully that covered everything!

There are indeed some minor dialogue differences in that boss cutscene if you had/hadn't hit Grandam beforehand. That boss fight is definitely chaotic with the fromsoft camera, AoE, and being backed up to a wall. Probably more useful in a PvP scenario but I saw something about how the Ailment Talisman resistance increase stays in effect even if you swap off it after the trigger, it is also a pretty significant resistance increase too though I believe the difference resistances have different timer on the duration
@zcolbster2 ай бұрын
Makes sense since you could just go to the fight without the storeroom key. I wonder if it's just 2 sets of dialogue or 3. Like is there a difference between talking to her and sparing her and not finding/talking to her at all?

Those Messmer soldiers hit like a truck for how normal they look, very reminiscent of the millwood knights with their warcry and ground stomps. Didn't use Milady too much on my playthrough but it does seem like a versatile weapon. I did find it odd that they didn't give Milady a stance weapon art by default since the Rellana's Cameo talisman is also obtained here. Some classic Elden Ring boss naming with Rellana who is indeed related to Rennala, definitely not an easy boss with the long reach, massive combos and quick movement. 8/8 welcome back Pontiff Sulyvahn

I did wonder if the game would let you enter the boss from that fog gate since you can skip your way to the back side of the fort, and that does answer it.

How do you use spin? I'm used to the old games where you smash the A button to get your spin..
@zcolbster2 ай бұрын
Since this game doesn't have arcade mode features, all shot shaping and spin is applied pre-shot. If you hold L1/LB and move the right stick down, you will add backspin to your shot or move up to take spin off. Left stick down will add loft (and take off distance) which will make it naturally have a little more spin. Just a note, to actually get the ball to roll back, you'll need a wedge with a flop or pitch shot type or have some slope you're hitting into with a full shot. Happy shaping!

It is nice that Miyazaki gave us a good amount of lore on what happened to Placidusax through Bayle. One the model for Bayle you can actually see two of Placidusax's torn head still clinging on from the battle they had. I'm not too sure how Bayle gained the power of the ancient dragon wings in phase 2 as he is only a drake 🤔The dragon communion shrine I believe had been set up by Placidusax to enlist help fight against the Bayle and the drakes. I did miss it on my play through but there is an alternate interaction you can have with the Dragon Priestess quest which gives you her spirit ashes instead of the weapon/dragon form.
