Golden Goat posted:Bang a helmet on your souls characters and it's grand. They said June earliest, because of their agreement with Sony. I don't get the complaint about faces but it's prolly because I know Ska studio's stuff. That said, I feel like everything else about the game is absolutely gorgeous.

The skill tree is super easy, go to whatever nodes give you the EQ you want. maybe grab the extra potion slots early.

Tensokuu posted:The one thing I can't figure out is why I have a sword that my skill tree will let me equip (level 1 greatsword) but when I equip it, it has a line through it. I can still use it but I have a feeling I'm not getting the full damage out of it. The swords allow you to use greatswords in one hand at a level lower, or two hands at that same level.

Tensokuu posted:Yeah looks like that was my issue with the sword. Still wondering the difference between say, the starting convent and The Three. http://saltandsanctuary.wiki.fextralife.com/Creeds Super WIP but there you go. Big difference is where you find the default shrines and the items you get. Devara gets holy buff for their quest item, etc and focuses on prayers

Lakbay posted:The level 3 marksman skill seems to be bugged and I cannot learn it even when I have the required amount of pearls. You need marksman 2? Not sure if this is a nobrainer thing or not sorry. And can't say I've noticed that I'm doing the same damage, bare in mind it will display different values from 1h->2h and different enemies have different armor, and one upgrade isn't huge, etc. May bare testing from level 1 to like max when I've got the resources for it.

Light armor/heavy/two handed are sort of interchangeable and most weapons have alternative dex/str paths if they're viable but it does encourage certain builds. The +1 stats are mostly irrelevent though, in the long run. Also holy crap the 2D metroidvania elements begin to shine when you get all the brands.

Megasabin posted:What do you mean the light/heavy/two handed are interchangable? In terms of your armor to weapon you don't need to worry about matching to armor type, there's like, 3? strength nodes on the way to heavy armor, so it isn't really punishing if you're a dex build and a lot of the light armor skirts mostly willpower with a smidge or two of dex as well.

Megasabin posted:When you look at a weapon's stats does there are two numbers separated by a -->. Is the 1st number the base damage and the second number to the right of the arrow indicate what your damage is when affected by stat scaling? Upgrades are purchasable and you'll findtons of them, maybe save the like, level 5/6/7 stuff for specifics? but other yeah go hog wild

King of Solomon posted:I just beat the Tree of Men boss, it was a miserable experience. No part of that fight was fun. Really? Was he tricky? I found his damage kind of pitiful. I enjoyed the gimmick/mobility of the fight. Megasabin posted:Can someone explain how you conquer other monasteries? I'm just past the second boss, so I've only seen 3 monasteries total. The first one you claim as your own, and the other two have been for different religions, but I see no option to change them to mine. Also what's the deal with those mini-monasteries you can find that just have a single white orb and no options other than to heal? Crystal Orbs, it's an item you could have started with, but you'll find tons throughout the game. 75% is the only one I know for sure and it's, imo, the ideal one to balance around. Keep in mind weapon swapping changes your weight, so sword+shield will have more weight than that same sword twohanded

King of Solomon posted:He's extremely tedious and has a nasty tendency to kick you into a bottomless pit. Yeah but almost all of his lethality is muted by just chilling on the side platforms, which you have to do to attack him anyway, plus you can duck through the middle when you need to, just wait for him to do an attack. I did die to him a bunch, but it's a short trek to his boss room too from the nearby sanctuary which helps a lot. edit: yes i am an unrepentant fan who can see no wrong, haha. Thievery posted:I'm currently exploring Hagar's Cavern, and managed to upgrade my dagger to rank 3 with an amber idol I found. It's now doing dual poison and regular damage which is nice but a bit annoying since I guarantee everything will end up being immune to it at some point. There's a shop in both the...first? dungeon and the Castle of Storms that sells T3? light armor. I may not be remembering properly. I really like Hagar's cavern, but it is an incredibly hard spike in difficulty. Weapon Spoiler? Got Trinity Greatsword, most t5 weapons seem to have invisible abilities and this ones is Fast Attack and apparently HP Leech. That+the fast attack charm (may not stack) it hits so quick, I love it.

King of Solomon posted:Pretty much the only time you want to leave the side platforms is when they're simultaneously shooting fire though, which you have little to no control over. Even then, you still have to go through half of his healthbar on a really tedious, repetitive cycle of baiting an attack and jumping to hit his stupid head. What was your build against this boss(/in general)? Like stat/weapon/armor wise?

Nickoten posted:Wait, aren't Ska Studios the people who made Survival Crisis Z? I'm tempted to buy this game just for all the entertainment that game gave me. The style isn't my thing but they've made at least one really fun game I liked. They are, a million years ago? It's why I'm a fan of them too acumen posted:Just wanna say that Pitchwoods loving sucks, that is all. I think I died there more frequently than any other location. King of Solomon posted:A lot of Dex, light armor, and a +4 Taichi. My damage output was pretty respectable and I very rarely died from damage. I went str/two handed sword/shield but I think the only difference between these builds, functionally, might be balance(the stat), which I'm not entirely sure what it does. I think Tree of Man will be throwing you around a lot regardless

You can spend gold on dust, but it swiftly becomes irrelevant. For the witch, staying close to her at all times helps a ton, everything she can do can be evaded by a dodge roll to her opposite side, or by airdashing at the right moment. Holy gently caress the final boss on new game+ is -insane- Queen of Smiles a shield helps a lot? the sword attack where she summons them around her is the best time to pour on damage, just play safe until she does that

Bussamove posted:Any experience with prayers? I diverted some points on my two-handing paladin into getting class 1 prayers and the extra potion next to it but if they're lackluster I'll probably grey pearl them back out. I dipped into them for level one with zero commitment, so I got no pay out. They probably won't be a great thing to focus on early, but looking over the list it looks like you can summon angelic ghost blades, magic death rays, get rid of wounds, orbits and stuff like that? Seems good as an aside but you'll prolly want a wis weapon. They have the benefit of not needing an implement like magic which is a huge benefit. edit: to clarify, no experience, but they seem neato as a secondary thing.

Kobogartimer posted:The game crashes on me every once in a while when I try to rest at a sanctuary, and unlike Souls games, it never autosaves. Does anyone else have this happen? Only when I died it sometimes crashed and I lost that run. Happened twice. Tip for all bosses Play a mage, naked, dodge roll everything, nuke like there is no tomorrow. People who complain about i-frames have not played naked.

Orv posted:Aside from looking lovely, personally subjective as that is aside, there are a few places where enemy attacks blend into the muddy slop that is the environment. Mostly had problems with it in the Bandit area with those axe guys. I find this weird, maybe because I played from a 'monitor' sized TV about two feet from my face? The game never had an issues like that.

NotAnArtist posted:I couldn't make it past the village of smiles with mage. What makes the class broken? Soon as you get lightning barrage you're set. Also you should be 100% naked for insane dodge rolls. This is my second character so knowing when to dodge certain attacks helps but yeah, the damage you put out without needing to engage up close is incredible. Then storm ring, charged ring (optional) conduit of mind and cyrstalmoat ring, have an energy phial or two and you can burn down pretty much any boss. It's not faceroll easy, but it is tons of fun and killing one of the later bosses in about 5 seconds felt really good.

My personal opinion on poison build, and indeed anything sort of gimmicky is maybe steer clear on your first run. It's probably doable but it's gonna be a hugeass slog when you're still trying to acclimate yourself to the game
