Canonically, Rom being sooooo stupid and self-absorbed that she is essentially keeping reality in tact while the Great Ones shred reality around you like tissue paper is one of my favorite storytelling devices in gaming.

Lord_Magmar posted:The game outright calls Rom a Great One either directly or through achievements. She’s just not a very Great Great One. Considering we know they used a Cord to help her ascend she might even be the most successful attempt in all of Yharnam when the game starts. she's not even a spider, why do you take it for granted when they call her a Great One!

I wonder if anyone really gets to 'ascend'. With all the parasitism imagery and symbology it could just be the parasite replacing the host. Or mutating it into something radically different and puppetering it. How much of the host survives the metamorphosis?

It probably wasn’t good for Ludwig to be constantly carrying around a sword that spews magical radiation. Regarde Aduck posted:I wonder if anyone really gets to 'ascend'. With all the parasitism imagery and symbology it could just be the parasite replacing the host. Or mutating it into something radically different and puppetering it. A lot of the Great Ones don’t seem to be particularly great. Mergo is still a baby after hundreds or thousands of years. Oedon just wants to have sex. Rom is doesn’t do much. One Reborn is probably not a Great One. The Choir has Ebrietas and finally succeeded in creating the Celestial Emissary (presumably a kin to help serve as a “translator” between Great Ones and the Choir) but haven’t seemed like they’ve gotten much farther than that. Keeping Ebrietas in the basement doesn’t seemed to have done much for the Choir. Only the Amygdala(s) and the Moon Presence seem to really do anything. I guess Orphan and Kos as well (dead in the physical world but still able to create the Hunters Nightmare). Edit: Playing Sekiro before BB helps make sense of BB. Both have themes of pollution and impurity leading to immortality/greatness. Kos was filled with parasites. BLB and silver beasts have parasites. Vermin. The phantasms used as hunter tools are slugs. Ludwigs eyes were filled with them from his sword and also infect the black sky eye. People can use mercury from their bodies to cast spells and create bullets, etc. Pulcinella fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Mergo is also dead, stillborn in fact, and the Yharnam Stone you get from killing the Queen Yharnam Voice is his blood calcified fetus. At least that's my interpretation of what's going on.

I'm at Ebrietas. This is the first boss I've fought so far that I haven't seen beforehand. Or at least don't remember anything about, so I went in knowing nothing about how she works. This happened on my first attempt though, what the gently caress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zp1b9aVRa8 I literally couldn't get out of there. I was just stuck in the geometry. I couldn't land any hits in there either (but she could hit me)

Rom is a cool spider flower lady that was keeping reality intact for us but everyone assumed she was an idiot because she's so absorbed in doing that.

I haven’t listened to this in a while, and usually the fights with the Moon Presence are very, short. But it’s such a good track https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikWGbtXIBr4

That’s pretty funny because it’s very easy to get her stuck in the geometry the same way. Technically she can still hit you but once she gets to phase 2 she just freezes up and you can saw blade her to death as casually as you want

verbal enema posted:EB has a hosed up tentacle that will ALWAYS HIT i think if you dodge a certain way I can’t find it but there was a twitter thread showing the hit “boxes” (more like lines” and there was one that was very likely just a misclick causing it to be unfairly large. I believe it’s on her left side (our right).

scary ghost dog posted:lol cainhurst might have the easiest enemies to casually waltz past It's more just like. Tedious. It's not particularly difficult. Anyway, I beat him. It got way easier when I realized I could backstab him at the part where he charges up his blood...attack...thing??? where he makes all the small swords go everywhere. I also managed to parry him three times in a row right after which helped chunk his health down drastically. He was on a sliver of health and I ran out of bullets and was panicking so I couldn't get my fingers to flip over to like, a poison dagger or something to do that tiny bit of damage I managed to get a lucky hit on him but man that final sliver of health was terrifying, he got me drat near to death several times during it. He was kind of a weird boss because his stuff never felt super consistent to me between attempts. Some attempts felt completely different.
