I like how even the creator of a mod that is INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED to be nearly impossible and brutally unfair STILL felt that having Malenia heal on every hit was too overpowered and got rid of it.

[@limb-o7180]

it feels ironic since the whole thing with this mod seems to be to play like a no-hit runner. That's why I think Malenia's life steal effect is very underrated, she feels like a reverse demon of hatred in the sense that her health functions more like the posture meter from sekiro. it encourages you to play perfectly like you would in a fight with isshin.

[@watchfulwanderer6443]

This is the same person who put every Lord of Cinder in the Soul of Cinder's arena. It's not that she isn't overpowered and bullshit (she is), it's because she's a more interesting flavor of overpowered bullshit. Healing on hit, near-constant hyper armor, and weird dodging are at least more interesting to deal with than multiplying all the numbers and puking adds and status effects on everything.

I think Elden beast was replaced because a lot of other people who played this mod got extremely frustrated by it since Elden beast somehow would just spam his ring attack most of the time in this mod, making hitting it very hard and tedious let alone defeating it.

[@josephhanicak7922]

It was a smart move to replace him. Elden Beast spamming his Elden Stars over and over again is way too far. This mod is supposed to be unfair, but there's a difference between unfair and just straight up unplayable. The unfairness should be in a way that allows for counterplay. Spamming a shit ton of enemies in a small space is unfair, but there's counterplay. Get a big weapon and heavy poise, and swing away. When the unfairness comes from not being able to even affect an enemy because he constantly spams a barrage of hundreds of projectiles at you, it's just genuinely atrocious design.

[@dethblak13]

Yeah I've seen him get glitched like that by a variety of mods, removing him does seem like the smart choice with that context.

26:26 ok as a person who did some primordial-level digging around the game code the comet azur beams are actually projectiles. How comet azur works in this game is that the initial shot shoots a single emitter projectile that emits one segment of comet azur. Then, that segment of comet azur emits another segment of comet azur, repeating until it hits a part of the map with collision and stops. What the mod creator probably did was to triple the base emitter projectile and have them set at an angle.

[@titusfortunus2916]

Wait... so what you're telling me... is that Comet Azur isn't shooting out like a beam with a TRAIL... but is duping itself like a shitty garry's mod emitter and just has really good animations to cover it up? XD That's genius and honestly a pretty great shortcut to coding, I'm not even mad.

[@mikejunt]

@@titusfortunus2916 This tactic has been used forever, as its also how chain lightning works in Diablo ONE.

It seems like this mod changes it to increase your casting speed by 15% instead of a flat 30 dex which might be even better at 99 DEX? not sure how it’d work

[@Lh0000]

I guess it depends: is it 30% of your CURRENT casting speed, or is it just a + 30% of some default value? If it’s the former that could get way more effective as time goes on and your dex goes up. If it’s the later, it would probably drop off as your dex got higher… I think,,, maybe… I’m bad at math so, take anything I say with a grain of salt

@@toangreenlow2229 did you play DS3 ascended? I really hate how people overexaggerate the final boss.. It was soo easy like unbelievably easy. I ended the fight in 3 minutes and 7 attempts. People like to judge the fight by watching Prod's run but what I noticed is that prod was playing the entire thing wrong. You're supposed to only target SoC himself. He has way too little HP and if you target him and keep spamming attacks the fight will end in no time without even having to deal with the other lords. So I 100% think Prod could've EASILY done it but he was so distracted by the other lords to realize that SoC has like 10x less the amount of HP of midir and Gael etc. Imo if he can beat Midir then he absolutely can beat SoC. Even looking at the mods comment by people who beat the mod I couldn't find a single one that complained about SoC because believe it or not it's really no where near as hard as some of the other bosses. Hardest boss in the mod is undoubtedly Nameless King.

Huge respect to the guy that made this mod It's quite extensive and must've taken a very long time It's very well done too, well thought out

[@Arkios64]

The "below half health buff" is (Edit: PROBABLY, might be done completely different, Edit2: probably a modified BTSR/RTSR) a generic function in the games' code that has the basic function of "Is the target below 55% health? If yes, start hyped up music". So, the reason why every enemy gets a phase two, is because it is ridiculously easy to do. Also, disabling the respawn on boss adds is even easier to do, so it's kind of weird that they DO respawn; it's not really harder with them there, just more annoying. (If the buff IS really just RTSR/BTSR modified, then this mod doesn't use modified scripts, meaning it actually couldn't include the respawn disabling easily. Also, it would make adding that buff even easier, I guess, so it's probably done that way.)

[@russeshe001]

The reason they respawn is because, as far as I can tell, they're not bound to the boss room in the same way that the boss itself is. They're just random enemies that just so happen to be in that room too. If they were made not to respawn, then players could kill them, fail to kill the boss and die, and when they return for their next attempt the additional enemies just wouldn't be there.

[@Arkios64]

​@@russeshe001 The boss isn't actually "bound" to the boss room, though, it's the other way around. As long as the flag for "boss_killed" hasn't been set, fog gates appear, the boss spawns, etc. All bosses are, initially, respawning. But in the code for loading the area it is checked if the flag has been triggered, and if it has the boss is disabled and killed every single time the area is reloaded. You can just include those additional enemies' IDs in that code and they ALSO wouldn't respawn after the boss is dead. And since the "low health buff" function likely uses the "low health music change" function, which requires an entity ID and is executed as part of the map script, the IDs for those enemies already exist and are used in the same file that contains the respawning behaviour. Basically, all it would take is take those two IDs, copy and paste the Disable/Kill lines and replace the boss' ID with them. If this mod didn't have the low HP buff and only gave enemies elemental damage and doubled them, it could have been made without editing scripts, but since it DOES I'm pretty sure it would only take two copy/pastes and changing those IDs to the new enemies'. On the other hand, they might've found some hacky way of doing it without editing scripts and just chose not to do any scripting, even if that sounds way more complicated to me. As someone that has never modded anything and only knows about how modding is done from LobosJr's "Learning Modding", I am confident I could modify ALL of those enemies to not respawn in a single day; including downloading all the programs I'd need for modding them. Although maybe THAT might be the answer. Maybe at the time of creation for this mod the script part simply wasn't developed/understood enough. Since connecting the Adds' AI with the boss would've solved those cheese problems, that might just be it. Either way, nowadays it is possible to do and honestly not hard either. Definitely easier than giving them low HP buffs, too.

Also a thing they did for most ascended mods for dark souls games they added the ring effect to the bosses that at low health you have more resistances

@@kinggecko5965 You see, THAT'S probably why those enemies respawn, because those effects don't need any scripting and could even be modified to be way stronger for specific enemies... yeah, I guess this mod doesn't actually do any script changes then, so the way it is set up is only through Param edits; which doesn't go into respawning mechanics.

For example, Pyromancy/Now called Conjuration is now fire themed Pyromancy (duh), dark and frost based Cryomancy, physical and poison based Geomancy (rocks), and the completely new magic and summon based Druidism (where magic comes in two variants: nature, like trees or water, and essence, which is best described as Blackflame before Blackflame was a thing, only not percent-based, but stat and spell dependant.) Miracles are the physical and healing based Holy Miracles, the lightning- based Gwyn miracles, the dark and bleed based Deep Miracles, and the magic, summon and debuff based Necromancies. Finally, Sorceries are the magic Crystal Sorceries, the lightning based Light Sorceries of Oolacile, the physical Aeromancies of Forossa, and the dark bases Hexes. As for why I'm waiting for it, the developers have already stated that they plan on creating another Convergence mod for Elden Ring.

Honestly, not really. Melee works just as well, albeit that's mostly for the Normal difficulty, where everything is like it was in Hell Mode, minus all the bonus enemies. (yet it's still tough as balls) So in Hell Mode, well, I dunno. But I do know that you can most definitely become OP in melee as well. In fact, I was kinda worried that Magic was gonna suck ass, but luckily they umped the damage for it. Cause with melee, the reason melee works is because all the weapons apply Status Effects, and then you go on a quest to basically stack as many strong status effects, and to watch out which enemy is immune to what as well. So it takes more brainpower, but it works out. And because of the MASSIVE amount of Smithing Stones you get, you can get a bunch of different weapons to max level, which is cool, and honestly fun, since you get to use weapons you'd never think of trying before.

I think the reason for this is because all enemies have % physical resist to some extent, plus having some elemental resist so it heavily cuts down damage you deal Meanwhile, magic is 1 type of damage, either fire, dark (in ds2) lightning, regular magic or holy (in elden ring) so it only gets reduced once

[@ShiningDarknes]

@@xosefontes7163 right like I and others have said melee is harder and feels less satisfying because of the needless damage disparity. If anything magic in the normal game is easy mode and thus the enemies should have been given big elemental resists. Really the whole thing should have been approached in such a way that requires you to spec into more than one thing. Some enemies should have been made all but immune to certain damage types requiring you to have a varied kit to take them on effectively. Oh well, this is what happens when your idea of "difficulty" is the literal definition of arbitrary difficulty instead of making an engaging yet unfair experience. The solution is as was shown, use magic since it is stupidly overpowered in this mod. Then the whole "5% of players can beat this" thing is a fucking joke. I would say at least 25% of players can beat this if they just focus on spells (as shown night magic is OP since enemies don't even try to dodge it).

[@MindinViolet]

While status effects are ok in moderation for adding tension and a sense of danger, they get very annoying very quickly. I honestly think there is too much of them in Elden Ring already. Having every enemy in the game deal status effects would turn me off this mod even if it didn’t otherwise increase the difficulty.

[@Wikloe]

that's because the mod creator for the ascended mod has never understood what a proper hard mod is. They slap everything against the wall and call it a day, then say "haha it's unfair, don't play if you don't like" rather than take the time to make a rewarding, yet tough mod like others do.

One of the few things I've always hated about From Soft games is the lack of natural mana regeneration. It makes magic builds feel much more restricted, in that you can't just kill every enemy on the way to the boss without resorting to non-magical means like the Moonlight Greatsword, or you won't have enough mana left for the boss itself. It's nice to see a mod that addresses this.

[@Astawroth]

there needs to be some drawback to magic tho. like its said in the video magic in fromsoft is insane especially this game and one of the |FEW| disadvantages is alloting more mana estus over health as well as the finite resource for your ranged nukes.

[@baldawen]

@n30n fp regeneration instead of x casts or mana flasks is more a qol change than a buff. The regeneration can easily be adjusted so that you can't spam the spells on everything that moves. It would probably be a nerf in boss fights.

[@Trevor21230]

@@Astawroth the drawback is that you have to tailor your build to use spells which hampers your ability to use the vast majority of melee weapons. Spellcasting isn't nearly as OP if you're not using Comet Azure with the Cerulean Hidden Tear, especially if you want to avoid using summons on boss fights. There are plenty of fights that just aren't that feasible to solo with pure casting because of long casting times for decent spells, and pitiful damage for quick spells; there's just no opportunity to cast anything. Hoarah Loux, Godskin Duo, Maliketh, and Malenia to name a few. But there really *aren't* any bosses that aren't feasible to solo with melee.

[@Astawroth]

@@Trevor21230 yes melee is more adaptable while magic has the damage but also clunky. overall the difference of flasks or regen seems minor. however my prevailing thought towards regen is people clearing entire areas of mobs without taking a hit cuz they initiate with a kamehameha wave from 20 feet away and likely on an elevated platform

[@rileygoodrich305]

I think the biggest issue was Rennala was too overtuned. It forced him to need to optimize the build far faster, granted it was all stuff he could reach before finishing the medallion. If placements were swapped around a a bit more and her fight wasn't a kick to the balls every second, then it might've encouraged more adventure to optimize. I absolutely believe it would of been more fun to be led towards more optional dungeons. Another idea would be to have the armor alteration with the golden needle buff sets.
