Highwang posted:Its interesting that they call it ant-clockwise rather than counter-clockwise in the game. Not sure if that was due to general theme-ing or was counter-clockwise not a term during the victorian era? Anti Clockwise is how its said in the UK and since Bloodborne and the Souls games use British spellings and terms a lot, it makes sense.

I have to admit, the snake-enemies are the worse enemy design in this game. Edit: Are you planning to use any other weapon besides from the hammer?

Every time you shove your arm into a pig's butt for a visceral attack, I think of an episode from This American Life discussing the potential use of pork "bung" (rectum) as a potential substitute for calamari. Which spawned this wonderful picture.

There's something about the previous episode that I just had to grab a gif of. It's too perfect. My favourite trap in the game right there.

There's a mildly amusing thing about the Gravegaurd set, whilst most of it is where you found it that one item above is the hat. Thus Dores was decapitated and his head ended up above his body. I'm surprised you didn't swap to your sword for the Snorbs to be honest. They flinch off everything and your sword swings fast enough that you shouldn't get hit by much at all. Finally the Snakes themselves are parasitic in nature, they lay eggs in living or dead humans and that's where the men with snake heads come from, the really big ones are presumably super ancient ones.

It's also a better choice because the blobs are weak to thrusting damage which you can do with the sword r2. Probably would have oneshot them.

As just a general heads up, prrrrrobably won't be able to get a video up this sunday. Birthday shenanigans are tomorrow, and I've been editing footage for a recording session all day, so, chance of me getting an actual episode up are slim.

So do all the shadows summon giant snakes at the end or did you willingly choose to fight Orochimaru?

Highwang posted:So do all the shadows summon giant snakes at the end or did you willingly choose to fight Orochimaru? Whichever one is last can summon snakes. IIRC it's also tied to how much damage you've done to them overall, so if you try to game the system by bringing their health bars down concurrently then you'll face three teen snakes while one of them continually summons dad snakes.

The AI for summoning snakes is different for each shadow. The ranged one does it the least because he can always attack you, the two melee guys do it when you aren't close enough for them to swing at. Funnily enough this makes the one with a candle the most likely to summon snakes because he actually doesn't have as much range on his sword as the other swordsman, who can whip out snakes like extended arms. So the Oedon Writhe comes from the nun and the sedative from the old lady, if you'd sent the guy who does the opposite I think you get a different sort of rune and the cannibal gives Beast Blood Pellets. Also Iosefka's Blood Vial drops from Iosefka, so who's talking? The Chapel is actually entirely safe, unless you send the cannibal there but he's pretty obviously a bad person anyway. The tell for Iosefka's Imposter is that she will let people in, which Iosefka herself won't, and that whilst Iosefka knows who you are if you talk with her and take enough blood vials the Imposter never knows you.

I personally don't mind the Iosefka Hunter fight. Admittedly I was using the Threaded Cane which in sword mode stun-locks most NPC hunters, so a lot of the fights weren't that hard. Also this is Yurie, the Last Scholar. Who is studying the remains of the studies of Byrgenwerth. Henryk only shows up here if you kill him I'm pretty sure. I guess Kevin will have to show off becoming a squid-kid, as you cannot get enough Cords for Sir Bleaksoul.

Gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Rom the Dudebro Spider Also I might be going bonkers but is Rom supposed to be some kinda version of the final boss of Demons Souls? Highwang fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Aug 18, 2016 |

I'll echo the cries of "gently caress you!" aimed at the Bloody Crow. God, I hate that guy. And I had the pleasure of taking him on pre-nerf. The next time I just abused the trick to easily beating him. Pretty sure they patched that out though, so... have fun!

Once you beat Rom all the Window NPC's baring the second girl at Gascoigne's house are gone, most likely they turned into beasts or just simply died.

Eh, it's a little of column A, a little of column B. As the note in the room before Oedon Chapel mentions, the Byrgenwerth spider holds all manner of rituals.

I personally find the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst easier than the Yahar'Gul trio, simply because I had the Threaded Cane and it nearly stun-locks him, and the game is better balanced for fighting a single hunter over three. Also I'm pretty sure he's meant to either be Eileen's master or her student, because he's got a pretty eclectic mix of gear but shares her cloak. The name is also pretty telling in my opinion. This is also why it's her fight, she knows him personally. The main thing Rom does is open the doors to Yahar'Gul and make almost every high insight effect permanent. There's one other effect at like 90+ but it's really hard to notice.

Aw, poor Eileen. Edit: Also, a sky-burial refers to the unusual, but interesting, funerary rite of systematically butchering the corpse of the dead so as to feed it to carrion birds.

I wouldn't really call Arianna being a descendant of Cainhurst debatable. Aside from the dress there's the fact that she's got special healing blood which normally only Blood Saints have, and there's an item description later that just straight up says she has "corrupted blood" which is the term used to refer to Cainhurst blood.
