The Warriors of the Jar and Fia's Companions have to be one of my favourite features. I just summoned the 3rd Warrior, on my PS5 playthrough and it ended up being MY character, from my PS4 playthrough. I was soundly defeated, in shock and I have never been more proud or accepting of a death in a game, like this.

Here’s a neat little fact about fia’s champions They’re all player made builds When fia gives you a hug, your build is uploaded to a pool of champions she summons for that challenge

[@brettreese8986]

I agree that it would be nice to have more options for altering armor.

[@Nerazmus]

The only explanation I have is they didn't finish the player interface before the game was launched. Because the background tech is there and it's really weird they'd introduce a whole new feature to just add/remove a cape for some armours.

love the dead angling highlight bit. you can use the omnidirectional unlocked swing to track by locking on toward the end of the charge animation. so if you strong hit away from someone but lock on right before it swings, you'll turn to hit

[@Z7Games]

This catches a lot of people off guard in PvP scenarios, specially with weapons that have a poke as Heavy, like the Claymore.

[@hewhoshallnotbenamed5168]

I hope in the future From patches in more functionality to the sentry torch. Being able to use it to reveal hidden walls, players, and invisible weapons would be really cool, if admittedly very situational.

[@MrGhostTheBigRoast]

hidden enemies, scarabs and walls is just fine. other players and invisible weapons use resources for that effect, you shouldnt be able to nullify it for free.

[@icebox1954]

@@asheblackflight1720 Not really. You can just only equip it in dungeons or take it off if it worked in PvP. People switch weapons all the time, which is slower than simply unequipping a weapon. The scenarios are not equivalent.

[@MrMaradok]

What I’d like to see is a set of recipes that require one of the special torches and a lantern to allow the lantern to functionally copy the special effect, but only the one effect, you’d need a different lamp and torch each time

[@BloodRedReality]

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the manual attack aiming issue.

[@arkalion05]

I'm fairly sure it used to work, I haven't played in months, but when the game came out, I used to use that to manually target my big weapon attacks (Prelate's Inferno Crozier in my case).

it's a setting you have to enable or disable in game options. EDIT nvm I see he ment for Ashes of War not Heavy Attacks :D

They are Crayfish. I grew up around the little guys catching them. I've been to Red Lobster so I can confirm a miriad of differences/distinctions. Edit: Also Crayfish are creek, swamp etc creatures and lobsters are ocean creatures.

[@Rat_the_Renegade]

I thought the same thing. Crayfish are found in freshwater and lobsters aren't. Considering where they are in the map they can't be lobsters.

[@zanemob1429]

@@Rat_the_Renegade Where I’m from people call them “Crawdads” for some reason lol.

[@ichibirofl]

Also, it shows a lot of attention to detail having their weakspot on their belly since that's where people generally stab them before preparing it as food, since it's their softest and also gives them a clean and fast death, which, by consequence, makes them taste "better". Trust me, I'm a coastal latin american inhabitant

[@lagideath]

Really hope that the directional input for colossals is fixed. It's been bothering me since release that I can't manually aim while locked on despite having activated the option immediately on my first character.

[@ItsYaBoiV]

The purple cape glitch was really easy to do, and man I wish they kept it that color. We already have enough blue capes. The purple version looks lovely and travel worn.

[@Zaney_]

I thought there was maybe a lore reason why the jarburg road wasn't there anymore. Maybe this was an ancient map and the jarburg prefer to be out of sight now because of poachers. Alas that wasn't it.

[@LautrecOfCarim]

I'm usually more of a red tabbard guy myself, but the fact that the purple cape is being kept from us is a tragedy. Heh...

[@Olav_Hansen]

8:04 as far as I am concerned, the main difference is that crayfish inhibit fresh water. Crayfish however are slightly better able to crawl over land for thst reason, as they are more likely to have to move over water at some point. Because of that I am reasonably sure these are supposed to represent crayfish. The only lobster argument is that their shears are uneven size, which tends to mostly be a thing in lobsters.

[@zanemob1429]

Not mostly just a trait of both and they are crayfish. Also lobsters are huge and crayfish usually aren’t. That and lobsters are in the sea and crayfish around creeks and ponds, swamps etc.

[@dunno6161]

For lore reasons, I think the map frags should never have been edited. You're scrawling them down by copying or shadowing from old stone tablets, it stands to reason that we see a different layout since our Tarnished is on a journey far in the future from when, say, the Roundtable Hold was in an actively used fort. The Grace is having us move in and out of different timelines and dimensions, it makes sense that maps are inaccurate

[@weebto]

I already knew all of these except for the old aristocrat shoes changing the loincloth size. Guess this game has really been eviscerated all the way through, huh? I'll miss that sense of wonder in discovering things for a while :,)

[@Joyful_Traitor]

With the Aristocrats shoes first time I saw that was watching Bushys Elden Ring challenges, he wears them a lot.

The 3 jar knights are fun because out of the 3, there were 4 rivers of blood equipped when I fought them. That's right. One was duel wielding rivers of blood.

[@isaakfaulk8067]

I think it would be cool if there was a way to upgrade armor in a way that you can customize it to be gold or black. Maybe if you get a type of limited loot and use it in a quest to be able to change the type of metal it’s made out of.

[@zorro8027]

The ability to change the armor colors would add so much variety to this game it would be insane;

[@victorprati7908]

To say the map is misleading in some places might not be true in all cases as it actually be tied to older visions for the game

[@jamescolley3935]

So there is a very fun interaction with one of the fire spells called Fire's Deadly Sin. If you cast Fire's Deadly Sin, and then you use Black Flame Blade, Bloodflame Blade, or the poison mist weapon art, Fire's Deadly Sin gains the properties of those spells/ash of war. So with Bloodflame blade, you can proc bleeding simply by being near the enemy player. Combo this with the Lightning Ram Ash of Way to catch up to players, and become a nightmarish rolling fireball that stunlocks your opponent with Lightning Ram, dealing constant damage with a Fire's Deadly Sin that's building bleed proc. New favorite stupid PvP build.

about the walking mausoleum, one time, i jumped on the top of one which has his weakness in front of the door and not his legs and didn't know how to go down. My friend was choqued cause he didn't know that we could do it, he ever go at the middle

[@deficientfaith7448]

You’re actually testing the sentry torch wrong, it does reveal people using the concealing ring. Not to you but to other people you have summoned. If the invader had the ring equipped he can hide at a distance but if you come with the torch then your friends at a distance will then see him.

[@QuestionableObject]

My strategy for the giant crayfish is to get on Torrent and run up against their left side just behind their legs, you'll get stuck there and be pushed along when they try to turn to face you so you can freely attack them while they can't attack you. Only their jumps are any danger but they hardly ever seem to do them when they're trying to turn towards you

[@ykiikii]

Project Orochi is pretty expensive for being so unknown, yet I really like their designs and bought the Warden hoodie a couple years ago :)

[@jonathanemery1728]

Torrent trivialises the lobsters as well.

8:57 I recently made a new character for a strength build and needed the talisman the great jar gives you for my build and the second knight I summoned was wearing meleinas armor set and was wielding her katana along with a seal and as soon as it spawned in it did like 4 buffs and immediately did the water flow strike and killed me instantly to whoever did that I hate you

[@ionutbadea7915]

I heard somewhere that the uploaded jar knights are indeed player builds but that the game actually uploads them when you get embraced by the snug hug bug Fia.

I'm thinking the "pickle" thing is more of a growing/shrinking pickle situation. And I truly hope it's done on purpose as like an inside joke insinuating that those shoes are some sort of giga Chad item that boosts the "manhood" of those who wear them

[@Darkmirror7]

The fact that Manual Attack Aiming just plain doesn't work for 99% of the weapons, that the map is inconsistent at times and half fixed. That they later patched in a npc and the ability to actually finish a questline gives me the impression that the game was maybe rushed a little bit. (Needless to say, those are some "minor" things I guess, compared to other games out there.) It's quite unfortunate.

[@NeoNaito]

Interesting thing about landing on Mausoleums... I tried at launch and it had an insta kill hit box... wonder when that changed.

I think it would be great to be able to add or remove long waist cloths to go with certain armor types, if not all of them. This being said, I just love layered black plate armor that has long black cloth to go with it all. Cape and waist cloth that goes down to the ankles or shins as the cape goes half way down the back.

When i first did the jar challenge near the launch of this game it was always 2/3rds of moonveils, most cancerous shit ever especially since i tried it as a low sl of around 40 and 1 hit of the moonveil's art could kill me. At least now there is some more variety whenever i go back. Also for fia's summons it must be a bit broken because so far about half the time iv done its the same npcs and the other half its other peoples builds.

[@Gakusangi]

All of the reskinned solider and knight outfits that are functionally the same save for their pallet swaps should probably just be ONE armor set with a bunch of variants you alter them into. There could have even been a cool system here where you find patterns to change the designs, rather than having entirely different armor sets to clutter up your inventory with what is basically the same sets. I'll bet that some of that Strength Weapon locking during lock-on is a direct result of how fck-awful that manual aiming in Dark Souls II was, resulting in most player exposing their backs to the enemy they're locked onto.

I think I have maybe 8 or 9 characters at this point, including a high level Faith/ INT build that I don't think really hits its stride until the ~200 level range due to needing so many points for Faith and INT in particular. I think whips and flails are about the only things I haven't tried, and flails still look pretty awful. It's definitely getting to be time for DLC.
