The Paleblood Hunt is a buncha garbage and it reads like fanfiction.

I'm catching up on the thread and what the gently caress, that transition is the loving best. Sometimes I just let myself die when I'm nearly done with phase 2 of Ludwig just to get to play the whole fight again

You can skip the transition cutscene and that's what I do because I've seen it already. The only problem with that is that the second phase is always dead so quickly that the music doesn't have time to kick in, as it's timed with the cutscene.

One thing I liked about The Paleblood Hunt is that it made me think about the Rom corpse in the orphanage. Perhaps it is indeed the real physical corpse and what we encounter is the dream one that still exists in the lake?

My interpretation is that the corpse is a proper Great One that died, who Ebrietas appears to be mourning, and the Rom you fight was ascended to act as a surrogate or replacement. However, Rom wasn't strong enough and came out half-baked and brain dead as a result.

Laugh all you want but the dude who wrote that has probably cleared 6 figures in YouTube revenue from people watching his videos and then referring other people to watch them.

Well yea but I have no involvement in the money he may or may not make from it so there's no point in getting upset about the success his crazy person fanfiction has found, only the craziness of said fanfiction in the first place. (its pretty crazy)

Have you ever thought how weird it is for this game to have an item called the Molotov Cocktail, a real thing that was specifically named after a real person

verbal enema posted:Well I think I might have hit my second "whoah this game is hard" again. Fought Martyr Logarius like 50 times. Got to his second phase once and did pretty ok actually. Learned on accident you can shoot the sword. Logarius is easily the hardest boss in the entire game. He's the only boss in the main game or DLC that I've never soloed.

I cover this connection in my latest 40-minute lore video. Please donate to my patreon.

What are y'alls thoughts on locking on vs not? I've beaten the game four times and it occurred to me that I pretty much always lock on in every fight, regardless of enemy or weapon. Except for when i can just swing wildly and 1 or 2 hit them. Are there situations where you guys prefer the more free movement of being not locked-on? I never got the hang of aiming my attacks well without being locked on. I was thinking it'd be an interesting challenge to try more of that on my next playthrough. And I have a technical question related to that. Are there any differences between the lock-on quickstep and the not-locked on roll? In terms of total duration, duration of the i-frames, distance covered, etc. They seem the same to me but I'm curious if there's any difference.

The bigger the enemy and/or your weapon, the less useful it is to be locked on imo. Quickstep and roll have the same amount of iframes, but roll has more startup and recovery frames so leaves you somewhat more vulnerable overall.

Dark Souls 3 taught me that if the enemy can jump 20 feet in the air, locking on is suicide. Just go with your gut. If locking on is getting you killed, don't do it.

Yeah, I lock on depending on the enemy and/or weapon. Locking on to larger bosses tends to make the camera spaz out and also makes it impossible to aim swings. And I cringe just thinking about locking on to any enemy while using a move like the ax's spin2win.

But then there was a note that said try visceral, and well, that was some solid advice. I'm sure it was luck, but I parried/visceraled him like 5 times in a row no problem once I got close. And then I nearly killed the Orphan of Kos first time, blind - got too eager though and died one hit away, and it took me like 14 tries to get that far again. Sometimes the game just clicks, sometimes you eat dirt over and over again.

If you're using the whip for crowd control, don't lock on. There will be enemy formations where you can hit multiple enemies if you aim between them, which you can't do when locked on.

Locking on is better since it gives you a better dodge, and I only stop locking on if it's making the camera be a butt (like bloodletting beast)

If we're including DLC, most of those bosses are harder for me. However, he was a motherfucker to beat at BL4, I'll give you that. He, Amygdala, and Ebrietas have been the major stumbling blocks for my BL4 run so far. I'm still stuck on Ebrietas and just ran out of bolt paper and beast blood pellets on my last attempt

Trying to beat Logarius without parrying is a terrifying experience, I recommend trying it sometime if you haven't.

I even parried him on BL4, just replaced the riposte with a (charged? I don't remember) R2 because the damage is better than the visceral if you don't have poo poo for SKL.

Sometimes I wonder how much differently I would play the game if I ever really devoted myself to trying to get good at parrying.
