Drop your questions and stories in here, we are listening.

Im currently getting my ass kicked by Demon of Obsession.

Mistress of the Night is a fucking whore and I'm glad I killed her.

May as well post the normal speed version.

>>717098704
How much of a cooner game is this? Are there any good outfits that show tiddy?

Took a few tries but got there.

>>717098887
Is a good to very good dark souls clone with its own shit and then some decently coomer adjacent outfits
mainly a wide array selection of panties and some sideboob cleavage

>presented with 2 paths
>one path will rape your save file
>repeat 50 times

Had no idea you could go to annalum in ch 1

HELP

I cant stop taking screenshot of Wuchang's thong

>>717099850
Take videos instead.

>xuan starts cackling
Uhhh bros? I thought he was supposed to be a good guy doctor trying to cure the plague

>>717098704
wtf is up with those jagged edges when she is in animation

>>717099850
Where do you drop that piece?

>>717100113
Paypig set

I swear to god the tiger has true combos with knock down what the fuck is this

>Get boss to 0hp
>Second phase cutscene
>Boss has full hp
This is the one souls trope that I wish would just go away forever.
Nothing else really bothers me, but I absolutely hate that sinking feeling when you just barely eke out a win only to be skullfucked by a second round.

>>717100360
Pre-order? I got deluxe edition but didn't get that one.

>>717100387
Nigga Dark Souls didn't invent second phase bosses.

I do not give him the chisel, right?

>>717099993
UE5 makes everything grainy as hit

>>717100706
ANON
WHATEVER YOU DO
DO NOT GIVE HIM SHIT

>>717100384
Ok figured it out I don't need to do the spring up if I wait I can just dodge while on the ground.

>>717100617

Yeah, I remember playing Cadillacs and dinosaurs and final boss had 3 or 4 phases xD

>>717100706
It's funny how he looks like a Chinese Gepetto....

>>717100447
I thought It was weird that I got two copies of the black and white bone shamaness sets. There's a solitary chest piece that looks like clothes folded in a pile that gives wuchang the appearance of wearing the full set if equipped or transmogged to the chest, and there's also individual pieces of these sets. I'm guessing the individual pieces were pre-order exclusive.

>>717099170
i need this coomer outfit

Does this brick any questlines?

>>717101545
Go through the cave to the docks first. There is some people there to talk to an a boat to an optional boss.

>>717100706
I'm sure he'll repay your for your help. Why not give him a chisel?

>>717097541 (OP)
>>717098704
>>717099170
>>717099850
Ok but how good is the GAME?

>>717101642
i'm enjoying the combat more than the combat in demon souls, dark souls 1, dark souls 2, dark souls 3, and elden ring

So who's Boatman exactly?

>>717101206
desu I don't think there's any relation.

>>717101642
It's a dollar store version of dark souls.
Everything you liked about dark souls will be present in pitiful amounts.
Everything you hated about dark souls will be everywhere.

>>717101642
7/10. Good but you already played it before .
>>717101773
This is a good description.

>>717101735
i just took him as a chinese grim reaper
he mentions having to tend to the corpses a few time and the birth and death cycles blablabla

>>717101642
i think it was a very enjoyable DS clone, didnt vibe with some of the new shit they added but it was overall very competent

>all the soup pots are filled with people
fukin china I swear

>>717101978
>chinese grim reaper
that makes sense, thanks

>>717101761

Griding the one avian hunter in burning Annalum for the top but it's such a slog for one kill each time.

Boss we simply CAN NOT give her more panties, people are starting to notice!
Okay then give her the tightest yoga pants in existence and make her ass move in an uncanny way when she walks!
DO IT!

>>717102620
play normally and find the item for Wu Can so that he sells it to you, i mean seems faster

>>717097541 (OP)
Tell me something good about this game that I can't also get in Dark Souls.

Literally how? What's the point in making a videogame where you can't proceed?

Is spear the worst weapon type? holy hell it's almost as slow as an axe

>>717102990
>sword counter
Sorry bitch. Get pressed.

>>717102774
instead of a mana bar or spell slots you have an ever recharging resource
you start being able to hold 1 charge and eventually can get up to 5 and you accrue these charges by doing different stuff in combat
perfect dodges give a charge, certain weapons have different ways to generate more
so you have end up having to engage in melee and mix your melee and your spell/ability casting making for an interesting combat
This however kills pure mage builds that you could have in souls.


>>717102990
Im about to face the final boss and so far she was the boss that killed me the most with an ample margin over whoever is second, that bitch had me questioning if i ever was even decent at vidya

>>717103068
So if I don't have a counter I won't proceed further?

>>717103057
everybody says so in here
i can only tell you that i have done the whole game with only spears so i can't compare but i never felt terribly underpowered

>>717103126
>This however kills pure mage builds that you could have in souls.
you mean this finally allows magic builds to be viable and fun

>>717103126
>This however kills pure mage builds that you could have in souls.
one handed gives you such a retarded amount of spell regen you can just dodge and cast

>>717103126
Not at all. Pure mage builds require dodging too, here you get rewarded since it fills up your mana. Theres also a skill that effectively gives you perma 3 sky might if you are over 90% madness.

This bitch is a cunt.

This is the most kino menu screen

>>717103165
If you use the longsword's sword counter you get to take your turn everytime she swings a sword.
If you use the dual blades you can clash with her sword swings to take your turn
Spear has some weird dodging thing going on
Axe has some sort of tank thing I don't understand

When Nian Suichang is at the Refugee Camp, I replied with "..." when he asks what to do. Did I brick something?
Also he appears on the teleport screen but I can't find him.

>>717102990
- Longsword counter (parry) op against swordfight bosses. Respec!
- Wpn upgrade nodes can be lvl'd up x3
- Use raven pills & bunny buns!
- Backstab surface isn't as strict as DS/BB, works even if you are facing sides as long as it's from the behind angle
- Time getups like a dodge
- When you stagger an enemy, you have time to perform a charged heavy before executing Obliterate. Free damage.
- Unlock faster charged heavy for your main weapon asap
- Swift Draw (L3) is strong and under-used. Equip 2 weapons of the same type for best damage output during bosses. I hate pressing L3 by mistake so I swapped keybind with changing spell (dpad left)
- You can hold X and Y for quick-use items and spells instead of cycling through them
- You can hold A to run without using the dodge
- When exploring the world, equip 1H sword for the passive magic regain (first node unlocked in 1H tree branch), and Swift Draw when entering combat to quickly switch to your main. 1H is essentially the game's magic wand
- Once you reach level ~30, do a respec and unlock a full tree branch to reveal all hidden nodes, and repeat for all 6 branches
- If a boss hits too hard, consider going zero madness. Similarly, if a boss feels too tanky, consider going max madness
- Demon Madness can be worst enemy... or best ally. Attacks anything in sight. It's yet another tool you can weaponize if needed
- Same with traps like mines, lure tough enemies towards them
- Red barrels are explosives, use fire pots
- Always apply Temperance before a boss
- If ambushed in tight places, immediately backtrack so you get more space and can isolate enemies
- Heavy armor has best def stats but you want Wuchang to look sexy? You can change all outfits to look like other outfits. Centipede Armor is good early on
- You can stealth walk behind enemies to backstab them unnoticed. But... watch out for ambushes
- If using Longsword with Counter variants, hold R1 after counter to gap close and thrust instead of slash

>>717103729
He's at the shortcut of Mt Zhenwu that leads back to the camp.

>>717103291
Not really, if you try to do that with the Madame or any ranged boss it becomes a 20 minute slog. You gotta put some skin in the game.

>>717103769
Based god. I will read it right now. But first tell me how to respec.

>>717103820
You mean the one with the staircase that had a demon and a red-eyed bird?

>>717101642
the best soulslike so far

Getting filtered by Honglan again in ng+

>>717103874
Open the Impetus Repository and press the key that says "Refund" or something.
It'll refund all the skills that derivate from the one you're selecting, if you want a full respec press it while pointing at the center.

>>717103874
you just go in the skill tree at bonfire and READ the UI

>>717103424
>Theres also a skill that effectively gives you perma 3 sky might if you are over 90% madness.
Which one is that?

>>717102774
You don't play it like the original DeS > DS2 games and unlike BB > ER the bosses are way more interactive with the player, so they are actually fun.

>>717103890
>the best soulslike so far
is lies of P

Sorry my message got cut

>>717103889
No theres two closed gates where Tao Qian is, the right one is where he is standing (on the side that unlocks the gate)

>>717102774
the ass is fat

they must have casualized the hell out of p for a normie to be shilling it here 24/7. safe to say its a bad game based off that alone.

Feels like I'm doing no damage to the boss at the Mansion. +8 is where I should be for this right?

>>717103769
the point about revealing all the trees is something i hadn't considered
once you are "done" with your weapon tree you can go to other weapons and hunt for the +5 stats nodes
Sure you might wast a couple nodes on the way to grab shit of a weapon you wont use but its worth it on the end
i just had to do it half blind
I was already spending random points by late act 3, ended the game at level 116

>>717103769
> If using Longsword with Counter variants, hold R1 after counter to gap close and thrust instead of slash
You dont have to hold it. Pressong it during the deflection window always leads to the counterattack.

>>717104241
yeah
i dont think there is enough shit to get +9 before chapter 4 at all
i do remember it being a bit tanky too
not like other bosses that feel like they take a lot of dmg

>>717104292
huh, it always goes into a slash for me when I just tap or maybe I just time it wrong, but holding is what works for me anyway

>>717104261
40 points seems to be the softcap for stats.

This vista and the short song that came with it was fantastic
Its the last zone of the game if you dont want to spoil it.

post wuchang feet

shortcut design is weird as fuck. at the end of zenwhu temple you suddenly have 3 unlocks through the pavillon, the refugee camp and a checkpoint directly before the boss door

>>717104437
I found that done revolting bevause it looks like the stomach fat of sheeps/goats (caul fat)

>>717104498
It makes sense in 15 more hours.
Unironically.

>>717103057
i've only played spears and i think people just don't know how to use it
it's extremely good against humanoids because of the steampowered spear, but unfortunately i didn't figure that out until after honglan

>>717100706

After beating the game I will have to raise it from a 7/10 to a 8/10 now that I'm in NG+.

Thank you for subscribing to my blog.

>>717104656
>spin her around
>she starts attacking the other way

>>717104349
Alright got him, he wasn't so bad. I was just positioning myself poorly on the barely-telegraphed swipe from his right claw and was losing by attrition.

>>717104807
The taoist needs a chisel? What is it?
>It's a tool for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal, but that's not important right now!

He needs it to cultivate himself!? Surely you can't be serious!
>I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!

>>717103057
It might be, but if it is it'll be only by a thin margin. Keep in mind that people overhype their personal favourite weapons and rate things without actually understanding them, like they'll switch from Spear to Axe for the Honglan fight and that huge difference in difficulty is what'll colour their opinions on the weapons from then on. Also Axe and Spear aren't even notably slower in this game.

>>717097541 (OP)
If you ran a finger across the veiny part of her body, what would it feel like? What if you licked it, what would it taste like? What if you sniffed it, what would it smell like?

>>717104437
Dont know how i feel about the last boss being a victory lap
Killed him first try
Guess the real last boss was the spear white hair dude or the demon of obsession
People that bricked those quests should feel robbed

>>717100706
That chisel is part of a divine weapon and you think of giving it to some random retard?

I did kek

>annoying ass phase 1 where it flails around wildiy 20 times to the point stamina is actually an issue
>phase 2 lol
>the longest fucking phase 2 intro ever complete with retarded epic room explosions and then he can still just kill you in 1 hit

>>717104892
this got pretty annoying with the bo sorcerer, which is why solar leap ended up being my favorite spear discipline skill

>>717103890
You dont believe that

>>717104498
It's a poorly designed game in general. It was made by the Chinese.

>that "other" game still has to deal with the bot poster
kek
also, longsword isn't as fun as spear that I used in my previous run
deflect is good, but panda spear for instant backstabs was much comfier on humanoid enemies, not to mention it isn't useless against enemies that aren't using weapons, like the madamebitch

ENOUGH OF THE FUCKING BIRD SOUNDS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They should make out

>my qt taoist gf off-screened herself
The Ming will pay for this.

No more back to back bosses please. Also that slut at the bottom of the shaft was easier than anon led me to believe. Wang was tougher but still pretty easy. I remember reading some bitching about the slow elevators.

>>717105287
Use 1hand sword and evasive maneuver and then whenever he gives an opening (he gives several), use the swift change to the feathering 1hand sword to use Shadowless Blade. I was doing around 1k damage to him and since you generate so many feathers, you can hit him quite a bit with it

So there's no point in raising an attribute beyond 40?

I’m stuck on that giant demon lady boss that spits corruption. I’m level 24. Any tips?

>>717105287
>see you can summon
>its the fucking taoist guy
>all he does is walk with 1mph

You mean Liu Hongliu? Equip those flowers that dispel Corruption and just remain on her back.

?

She dues from her wounds after the Tiger general in the boss arena

>>717105679
>Summoning the taoist dude
OH NO NO NO NO NO
HAHAHAHA
BRICKED

>>717105606
Its not like you always have a choice. Feather Longsword scales with Agility and Feathering and you reach 40 in both eventually.

>>717103165
>>717102990
Respec is free in this gmae

Just spec to Longsword and Deflect, I beat her in two tries with Deflct and I am DOGSHIT at parrying in Dark Souls

>>717105807
I dont think you understand the term bricked.

>>717105832
Well my point is that right now i'm using Taoist Sword (1h) because it scales with magic and I want that for spells so it's nice to only be able to focus on one stat, but I prefer other swords that scale with agility, so if there are severe diminishing returns to magic at this point I might start seeking agility so I can use better swords.

>>717105287
>>717105515
Here's an idea of what I meant by openings. Even when he heals, you can immediately do more damage than what he heals by. Just take advantage of certain combo string endings where he pauses for a moment. I was getting filtered by him at first but Shadowless Blade really did a number on him safely.

>>717105961
Yeah then its probably smarter to use a weapon that scales with both magic and a sevondary stat. That way you will profit more from damage increase if you actually use your sword to hit bosses too.

>>717105913
Nobody understands terms anymore.

>>717103440
Finally after 2 straight hours, I beat her. That was fucked up, like worse than Radahn.

>I can be your Angle

>>717106376
neither are mods

>>717097541 (OP)
I fucking hate the Cloudspire interior. The quest design is absolutely retarded.

>>717106309
what body armor is that on the right? anw ehdn do you get it

>>717106198
I'm too autistic to remap 400 skill points.

>>717106558
avian hunter top is from chapter 4
drops from some elite enemies in there or is sold by the thief once you give him the treasure of that zone

>>717106605
Then suffer. It's not that difficult.

I killed my inner demon in the last area but got distracted and didnt see what it dropped. I don't see anything new in my inventory and the shop npc didnt update. What did I get?

AIEEEEEEEEEE WHERSE THE THIRD SWITCH IN THE BO CAPITAL

>>717106997
Something you already have if not Bo Blood

>>717106863
which sword do I use then

>>717103440
Spent an hour struggling to get her past 50% with the spear. Respecced to deflect longsword and killed her after a couple more tries. I thought that was really fuckin lame.

>>717106997
if its a demon created by you dying at 100% madness then it dropped a consumable to reduce madness at shu temple and your mercury back
if its a scripted spawned demon (there are 6 in the game) then it dropped a needle for acupuncture and a Bo Blood an item required to improve the incence of madness in the skill tree

>>717107113
that whole place can go suck a dick
you might need to do the part that is near the door with the question, by the second shrine?
is hard to remember exactly they order or shit in there
took me a while of running around almost headlessly

>>717099993
>>717100794
It's TAA. TAA is smoothing method that uses upscaling from a lower resolution screenshot. Older AA methods like MSAA used higher resolution screenshots that were down downscaled. UE5 is built around all kinds of upscaling nonsense and devs now refuse to use anything but TAA, just because it's the most economical in terms of how demanding it is. While it is the least demanding, it looks like shit.

It's 100% why hair looks like garbage. Old games used to give all kinds of different AA options for players to choose from.

>>717107280
Is there any point in reducing madness that way? Can you just spend all your souls and go die instead?

>>717107280
I think it was 6th scripted event because she got a huge boss health bar and the arena closed down like a normal boss.

>>717106605
Autists love that shit, poser.

>>717106997
nvm im retarded

>>717107120
I used these 2. Darkfrost for Evasive Maneuver and Zhanlu for Shadowless Blade. Swift Change is your friend.

>>717107517
oh that one
yeah thats one of the scripted ones obv
it dropped then eedle to increase the duration of the temper buff

>>717107512
i personally didnt use it a single time

I cant find the entrance.

>>717107797
I do not have the Zhanlu sword.

>>717107517
>>717107817
Also that one doesn't count as one of the 6 "regular" scripted ones i meant before
There is one for str/agi/feathering/magic +5 needle then one to increase the effect of the stats and one to increase the status build up
That way you can check which one you are missing (if any)
I assume you need to have killed them all (and other stuff) to spanw the demon of obsession optional boss near the end of the game

>>717107980
Way later you will cross back to that building from the nearby building on a higher level

>>717108048

>>717107980
Is that the one in the bridal chambers? If yes you can drop into that room from the hole where the boulders drop in.

>>717108210
its not
its one in the zenhu temple

>>717107980
It's upstairs after the first shrine were the 2 balls drop and roll over the 2 brides, just jump down the hole were the balls fall in.
You can pretty much skip the entire zone that way.

>>717108235
oh fuck it is
im sorry disregard my post here and >>717108078 im retarded

Its as >>717108210 say, let the 2 first boulders pass near the entrance and then drop behind them

Feels kinda odd that both Honglan and Bo Sorcerer are optional and missable when they're such good fights

>>717108235
He's talking about the chest here which is, in fact, not in the Zhenwu Temple.

>>717108408

Bo Magus being optional really annoyed me. I wish I paid attention better but I didn’t listen to the NPC who tells you she’s in the palace.

>>717108119
Blame the game for bricking quests on a whim.

>>717108550
the whole sequence is kino
you have to backtrack from behind shu temple through the palace then Honglan V2 through a bit of doomwillow....
And a few times during it the BoMagus speaks to you while shooting missiles until you close enough calling you a retard for rejecting your feathering blablabla
Fanfuckingtastic, one of my favorite parts of the game

>>717108408
Honglan is optional? I wish someone had told me that before I spent 3 hours sticking my face in a blender

>>717108492
Yeah, this one

>>717108737
You might have noticed she survived your encounter...

>>717102572
is not gonna lie really a zoomer thing? they say no cap

>>717108791
oh...

>>717108827
No, people have said "not gonna lie" for a long time. It was never a zoomer thing
t. 32

>>717108713

Yeah I’m pissed I skipped it. Bo Magus is also sexy. Idk I kept thinking I would encounter them in Act 5 and before you know it I was at the final boss.

>>717108408
How were either of them optional? I couldn't find a path forward without fighting both of them

>>717109029
honglan v2 is optional, you can go to reverent temple and to act 5 without going to shu underpalace in act 4
bo sorcerer is optional, you can go to zenhu temple without ever set foot on avian marsh

>>717108713
Can you still fight her for the rewards if you're siding with her?

Everyone suddenly has too much HP in the last level.

Just killed Bo Sorcerer, the kid with a helmet appears on the talking list of the teleport menu but I can't do anything with him, he just says "...", what gives? Am I missing an item?

Bo Sorcerer was a cool fight but I feel I wouldn't be as nice about him if I had to actually dodge properly and not just use evasive maneuver and alacrity.

>>717101642
better than anything from Memezaki but a little bit worse than Lies of P

>>717109268
not the slightest idea

>>717109398
i think you give him food again there?
then go back to the refugee camp and hear about the ship, then you go back and tell him about the ship
check if thats the step you in

Fuck that guy in particular

>>717109268
you fight her and get an ending on spot

>>717109545
Oh that was it I had to walk through a particular section to hear about it.

>>717109398
>if I had to actually dodge properly and not just use evasive maneuver and alacrity.
The game is balanced around things like those, anon. Dodging normally is the back up option so you can't get "stuck" without resources, but you're meant to use the other stuff like Alacrity, Fleetness, Clash, Deflect, etc as your main approach. I kinda wonder how many are just playing it like a Souls game.

>Bo Sorcerer
>uses a sword
>cant be deflected
fuck you

>>717109902
>I kinda wonder how many are just playing it like a Souls game.
The same amount of people that play Nioh without utilizing anything that makes it Nioh. They impose arbitrary restrictions on themselves for god knows what reason.

>>717109902
perfect dodge is main defense mech in this game, because it works for every enemy attack meanwhile everyo ther defense mech is very specific and works only on handful of attacks

>>717110480
Alacrity and Fleetness work on everything in the game, and you can get Alacrity with any weapon. Resilience also lets you tank hits so you don't need to dodge normal attacks, and there's no reason why you couldn't run almost all of the other options together to avoid using the worse basic dodge. It is the "main defense mechanic" in the sense that you can always fall back on it, but the intended way to play is by actually using the other mechanics. You are not meant to just press Dodge Roll + Basic Attack spam, and you know this. The game knows this, and so do the people complaining about the game who were forced to change builds for Honglan.

>>717110108
>unsheathes dual blades

>>717110978
If you used anything else than dodge R1 and R2
YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME

>>717102774
sexo protag
fun weapons and good combat
spells systems are good for once
spells are actually useful and fun to use
deflects/clashes are good without overtaking the whole gameplay either
It's generally easier than the usual souls (maybe a bad thing)
they tried to have some story instead of the "just make it the fuck up ;)" horseshit

>>717105382
If we don't consider Team Ninja's stuff to be soulslikes then yeah I can believe him.

Where is an actual guide on what order to do shit in this is annoying as fuck

>>717111047
>he used R2
Way to out yourself as the conquered.

I KEEP DYING IN THE SAME FUCKING SPOT GOD FUCKING DAMMIT FUCKING MOTHERFUCKER FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

im still hesitating to finish the game, i want the FREE outfits

>big part of the system is the stagger mechanic
>third boss I fight, burrows into the ground for so long that the entire stagger depletes

You told me this game is good

>Increase slash damage, increase damage taken
>Increase damage, increase damage taken
>Increase damage while at full HP
Fuck it we ball

>>717111997
He staggers himself if it hits the rocks

>>717111997
later on most bosses have movements that place them away from you
you might want to have a spell to keep them "tagged" so the stagger doesn't go away

>>717097541 (OP)
Just beat Bo Sorcerer without the summon. Missing quests is really harsh on people playing blind. IMO game should let you summon a generic inner demon.

>>717112052
I know that, doesn't change the design is retarded

>oh sweet I got the dough figurine back from some jar

>>717112268
You literally get enough staggers from the rocks to kill him easily. Rest of the bosses don't have this

>>717111997
>player doesn't play well and struggles as a result
>"This game design is so retarded and fundamentally flawed in it's underlying mechanics"
Many such cases.

GAS THE DEVS THAT PUT CAMO MINES IN THE MAIN REBEL CAMP KILL YOURSELF

>Play blind first
>Play with a guide second cycle
Whats with adhd zoomers wanting to 100% everything on their first playthrough? Sekiro and Bloodborne true endings are bullshit levels of How was i supposed to know that and no one complained.

>>717112248

Did you use longsword? The forward dodge/backstab/poise break made her very easy for me. I also didn’t have the summon.

>some are not as they seem
What did he mean by this?

>hmmm... allow me to put all my eggs in 1 basket

>>717097541 (OP)
Wow those graphix are insane. Gotta upgrade my rig so I can run them.

>>717112591
kek

fell off this game. too dated by modern standards. shrine placement, runbacks, and pacing (elevators, ladders, etc.) are sooooooooooooo slow.

>second phase xD
This meme needs to die in all video games forever.

>>717112639
Implying I want to fight Honglan ever again

>>717112028

>>717112639
Because they like those games they're willing to overlook flaws, hype up mediocrity or ignore the great design of other titles. You'll notice this happen inside even the From Software franchise discussions where they'll complain about some aspect as if it's a damning ireffutable critique and you're just sitting there thinking "I'm pretty sure that was in the other game you're defending too, anon." But it happens with every game and playerbase too, not just souls.

>this fucking long ass runback to the Reborn fight
Chinks are fucking dumb

How do I get to the Underground Palace that the Storyteller mentioned? The ways underground seem covered up.

really ching chongs my ping pong

>>717112828
I think its tolerable because either the first or the second phase is always very easy

>>717102990
>can complete her first phase without taking damage easily
>second phase she kills me before I can land a hit

fucking white elder and his 20 attacks in a row

>honglan 2 swings her sword
>deflect
>um tooooo bad you can't deflect that le attack

>>717112670
Yep, but sometimes she opens up the fight with a kick and stomp combo and I die before even swinging the sword. After a couple tries, I memorized her moves and backstabs carried me. She started casting a spell with a sliver of HP left so I just tanked some damage to get the win.

The reward sucks though. No costume, only a pendant for blunt damage which I don't use. And it brings you to the rebel camp which I cleared first.

>>717112639
I some some faggot anon in an earlier thread posting his steam achievement.
He had 100% of the Wuchang chivos, and only 40 hours playtime.
Literally using a guide, and speedrunning past everything just to get them. I don't understand this sort of behaviour.

>>717113056
Hot take, Fromsoft laid a good foundation but their games are absolute dogshit to play.

>>717112828
I agree. When they get a second phase at 50% hp, where they just get some aditional moves, or slightly modified moves, that's fine.
But when you take out their entire health, and they get a cutscene, a completely new moveset and even apearance, it's no longer a second phase, it's a bossrush.

>>717112639
>playing games twice
i always think ill easily do a second run but by the end of the first run the mind tells to get the fuck off the game

>>717113820
Only absolute lowest of the low retards care about 'cheevos.
It used to be a fucking joke with "bro what's your gamerscore", but some people really are sick in the head and care about them.

The best part about Wuchang isn't beating it it's showing everyone online that I did

>>717114107
You should try it, it's actually often more enjoyable than the first time around as there's no pressure.

>>717105679
I didn't even know you can summon for this fight.

>>717114107
Wuchang is fairly fast in that regard. I'm already at Cloudspire after playing for 2h in NG+. Exploration falls flat since you know theres nothing to find besides the odd +1 Pendant

>>717113941
I wouldn't say that, but I would say they're probably the most basic you can possibly make an action game without it being bad and that the direct combat is the least important or engaging part of them.

>>717113309
From the cave where you start the game.

why is there such a runback for that frosty cunt the ming general?
also why the FUCK does the poise bone needle suck so much ass compared to the fire needle
barely any bleed buildup even with the whip longsword that's supposed to buff bleed with the needle
that shit sucks ass

>>717114446
So I have to beat The Reborn first?

>storyteller asks whether I'm ready to go forward sitting in front of the cave
>must be some barrier or shit blocking the entrance, sure
>fet teleported to a new region failing the ferry overlook quest
FUUUUUUUUCKEKCKCCKKKCKCCK

>>717114651
You and me both.

>>717114651
gottem

>>717114628
I don't know but I beat every other boss before entering since it leads to the last zone.

>>717114651
>also no previous saves on steam cloud
Fuck off

>>717114628
no
that anon was wrong or didnt understand what you meant
The storyteller sent you to kill the Lady Clad in Red that you might have seen a couple times during the game.
You have to enter the shu temple underground from the other side, so go to the back of the temple and start making your way back through Tang palace etc
Its a long trek with 2 bosses and kino as fuck

>>717114620
Because bosses can have resistences and weaknesses to status effects

Turns out the real treasure were the panties we stole along the way

>>717114620
i used the fire needle until i got a weapon that benefited from poise break tempering and used that one
i dont know if it was worth it but... might as well you know?

>>717114965
i got that sword and was hype to finally unlock the poise break needle and tried it against honglan and the buildup seemed pretty terrible
fire just did way more damage
now i'm fighting the frostbite faggot and still using fire cause obviously
i'll give the poise break one a shot again when i find a boss that's weak to it if there is one

>>717115420
Poise break is good with scissor blades, melted endgame with them

>no bullshit phase 2
wow I'm shockeded

Wasted a bunch of time figuring out how to get the game to run crispy textures and shadows and without the retarded blurred edges during movement on nvidia grafics. Posting instructions for others who care:

Install these mods-
https://www.nexusmods.com/wuchangfallenfeathers/mods/5
https://www.nexusmods.com/wuchangfallenfeathers/mods/107
https://www.nexusmods.com/wuchangfallenfeathers/mods/109

Set the 3D settings in nvidia control panel and in-game advanced graphics settings to pic related. If the edges look weird then you need to set your in-game anti-aliasing quality to low, back out of menu back into the game, then go back into the menu and set it to high.

>>717115758
Also screen of how it looks like. The shadows don't become a blurry mess when moving.

>go through hell
>die to absolute bullshit after all the shit I just put up with

I've read that the riddle doors have a "correct" and "incorrect" answer, are they supposed to be solvable?

>>717114620
Open the gate bro, the run back is literally less than 30 seconds with the gate open

>>717116061
nvm got it I think

>>717116425
there is LITERALLY no reason for there to be runback in excess of 5 seconds in the year of our Lord COVID-19 + 6

>>717116323
Not really, you eventually want to do every variant as they all have exclusive content.

Do this or go back up to do the Reborn

>>717116061
>>717116502
just in case
you want to go to the arena where you fought the centipede but the entrance is blocked so you want to enter by where you exited back in chapter 1 in doomwillow forest
That run starts on the back of shu temple heading into tang palace etc

>>717116795
Reborn is the last boss of act 4, i like to do everything in the chapter before moving on

I'm getting so fucking sick of getting hard stuck in one spot because I end up dying to absolute fucking nigger bullshit. I've died like 7 times in the exact same spot due to different fucking retarded bullshit every god damn fucking time. I JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH THE FUCKING BO CAPITAL GOD FUCKING DAMMIT NIGGER FUCKING KIKE FAGGOT FUCK

wtf my wife is a boss?

>>717117041
unc you good?

>>717116323
the correct answer gives you an item and sometimes you can enter a room and check some lore
the incorrect answer teleports you nearby and you can talk to the boatman
the last door requires you to answer wrong in order to fight an extra optional boss (that requires other stuff) and access to the secret endings, while for example answering right gives you a readily available crafting material to upgrade a weapon to +10 (3 of them in every playthrough max)

I tried playing this for the first time last night while I was on LSD but I couldn't tell what the fuck was going on so I just watched the weather channel for like 6 hours

>>717117176
I was more curious whether you're meant to actually discern or reason out which answer is correct, the whole thing seems arbitrary.

Bride is the first boss that felt like a proper souls boss, took me 10 tries instead of 3 or 4 and I was thinking both "oh no" and "fuck yes" when the metal riff kicked in.

>>717117257
yeah i never got the logic for the answers myself either both seemed to go just about "vibe"
fucking Tao

>>717117291
>this is a perfect bride in China
what gives?

I shouldn't be struggling with mistress of the night as much, no way can she be harder than Ming General. Her phase 2 is fucking annoying, her poison bullshit that bounces of the walls is fucking annoying. I hate this bitch

Cant help but wonder when Nioh 3 is coming out when I play this

>>717117410
you aren't alone anon
she gets a lot of hate mail in these threads
you got this

>>717117361
imagine the suction force

>>717117148
>invincible shield on phase 2
what do I do now

>>717117148
your wife is kind of a cunt

>>717117519
is this your first videogame anon?

>>717117519
You hit it until it breaks

>>717117752
>>717117693
There was no reaction from hitting it so the next logical option was to wait it out.

>>717112675
>>717112525
>>717112342
>if you complain it just means you're bad
I never said anything about the boss being hard, what the fuck are you guys even talking about?
It's just retarded because it's a boss you're supposed to engage in melee combat unlike the tree where you just blast it with the fireball magic from a distance. And in melee combat the stagger is quite important

>>717117946
>the tree where you just blast it with the fireball magic from a distance

>>717117291

I loved that boss and the whole Shaft level. Actually the entirety of Act 2. Damn this game is kino as hell. Deserves a much higher rating. I hope there’s a sequel.

>Threw the fight trying to use the whistle
Fuck

>>717117946
It isn't retarded because the boss can be staggered just fine, (you) personally aren't attacking fast or hard enough to do it and (you) are claiming the game is inherently flawed based on that performance. It also isn't even retarded in general because it's perfectly fine for a boss, and even specifically a melee boss, to be immune to staggering them if the game accomdates that (this one does). And it's not even a melee boss to begin with too.

The fuck was the big deal

>>717116945
I think it's easier to get to the way down from that second shrine in Annalum across the invisible bridge. That way you only need to deal with the one shield guy instead of 4 infected, the fat-ass, and the boulder

>>717118601
But.. Ice cold.. Make head hurt...

>>717118601
you light the bonfires to signal the bridge to get down because the rebels and Cloudspire are in cahoots
I don't know why the bonfires are tied to zombie-spawning demonic towers
I don't know why they're in cahoots either

>>717117582
My wife did literally nothing wrong. She's just a little retarded.

>>717117257
Riddle 2 and 3 are kind of obvious on what the right and wrong answer is.
Riddle 1 kind of requires you to have seen the wuchang lore trailer (no idea why the fuck it's not included in the game) to figure out that eternal flow of life is the wrong choice.

>>717118512
but enough about elden ring

>>717117946
>unlike the tree where you just blast it with the fireball magic from a distance
It throws it's arms on the ground so you can sperg out with your axe/longsword.

>>717118601
>complaints online about games are heavily exaggerated and actually most issues are minor
Who could have known?

>>717118858
Because that 8 foot tall woman who mogs the fuck out of you decided she wanted the artifact to make her son the perfect woman

>>717118295
Same, I love the sprawling level design and all the traps, hazards and ambushes at every turn, and the combat is so fun too. It's pure soulskino.

>>717119084
I learned to love the shaft after baiting enemies into traps. Especially the big poise break ones into the spikes and arrows

Is any boss in this game as difficult as Malenia, genichiro or pontiff sulyvahn? I doubt it

>>717119341
no

>another riddle door

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DONT WNANA GOOGLE ANSWERS

>>717118295
Shaft so far is the highlight of the game for me, also nice that traps also damage enemies.

>>717119341
>pontiff on that list
just about any boss from shadows of erdtree is more difficult than pontif

>>717119341
>genichiro
>pontiff
>hard
You literally parry both and attack them until they're dead. Malenia is a different story because she's a faggot cunt

>>717119341
>malenia
cheesed her with flame of the redmanes on second try
>genichiro
easy moveset
>pontiff
dont even remember his moves i deleted him so fast

as a god gamer i can say honglan 1st time took longer than all three combined

>>717115936
Wuchang if you like Dark Souls level design and stealing/wearing panties
Khazan if you like Nioh style loot and CBT
Lies of P if you are a homosexual that likes effeminite "men"

how am i in rebel camp now
where did cloudpsire go

>>717115936
Lies of P is just a much better game, Tighter combat, better bosses, and an actual story.

>>717119693
oh no no no.... ahahahahahaha

>>717119506
>cheesed her with flame of the redmanes on second try
This is kind of the problem with these discussions. Are we talking about the difficulty with the highest strength options in mind, or just in general with the basics like dodge + rolling? Because you can just spam the Sword of Night and Flame weapon skill to stunlock her to death without even fighting Malenia properly.

>>717117148
Seriously? How many fucking bosses did I miss?
From this thread alone, seems I missed
Bo Magus, demon of obsession, the old man, vermillion feathers.

>>717119752
I mean you an stunlock any boss in this game aswell

>>717119341
Honglong took me an hour and a half until she finally clicked for me. The rest of the game has been pretty easy by comparison.

If I ate the cause and effect rings, did I fuck up?

>>717119341
this is a comfy thread for comfy anons take that bait somewhere else

>>717119725

>>717099850
The CCP will make your computer explore once they find out you modded their spy machine.

>>717119341
In terms of damage and moveset? Mistress of the night is like Malenia on steroids. But her health is so low, that she isn't that big of a deal.

>>717119793
How did you miss Vermillion Honglan and Bo Magus? When I was going through that area, the paths I took led me straight to them to where I thought they were bosses that I had to defeat in order to progress.

>finish the game
>no fucking idea what the story was
ah yes, asian game.

>>717119751
okay im backtracking then
didnt find the old lady either

>>717119826
Yeah, that's my point. I wouldn't say any of the games mentioned here are actually that hard if you're willing to change your build around, which you should be.

>>717119693
>where did cloudpsire go
what do you mean?
cloudspire is the name of the city you are headed to, you start on hillswatch a small village then proceed to the rebel camp currently laying siege to cloudspire (city)
did i misunderstand you?

>>717120012
>didn't pay attention at all
oh yes, retarded anon

>>717119986
>Mistress of the night is like Malenia on steroids
you're smoking crack

>>717119997
>That area
I don't know what area they are in. I assume it's some quest that bricked them for me.

>>717120042
>okay im backtracking then

>>717120113

>>717120109
No. I am being 100% serious, with no hyperbole, when I say that she is, in terms of moveset, the single most difficult boss in any game I have played, and nobody else comes even close. She is the sole reason why I will never replay the game.

>>717119793
i mean besides these 4... only other optional bosses that come to mind are starving aberration in chapter 1, bo sorcerer in chapter 3, and madness demon lady (but with boss healthbar) in chapter 4
dunno if there are any other that have slipped my mind

>>717120210
Are you physiologically unwell?

Elden ring has spectacle, boss fights, exploration and wonder.

Nioh has THE best combat

what do we have wuchang bros?

got the coomer outfit

>>717120193
Oh. In the last area. I think I know where it is. I got to a place where a strong enemy was guarding one of those golden pillars, but I had so many souls, that I went back to the shrine. I then went another direction, and when trying to find that golden pillar later, I never found that area again, despite looking for an hour.

>>717120113
>I don't know what area they are in. I assume it's some quest that bricked them for me.
they are in chapter 4 and you dont need any quest for them HOWEVER they advance the storyteller quest
He speaks to you in annalum ch4 and asks you for a favor, to kill the bo magus under shu temple
but since shu temple entrance to the underground is blocked you have to go the long way around and enter by doomwillow
on the way there you fight Honglan V2 and then eventually the Bo Magus

>>717120210
Explain, just sticking to her with my longsword was enough for me to crash her gimmick after eight or nine tries

>>717120237
I killed those other you mentioned. Still. Missing 4 bosses is too much. I guess I have to replay it.

>>717120287
a lot of people missing the point of the thread it seems

>>717120076
Never understood the mentality of refusing to use what the game gives you. Each boss is a puzzle that you can solve with right tools. Just like crucible knights can be trivialized with parrying buckler in 15 seconds, why waste 5 minutes dodging and poking.

>>717120287
several pairs of panties

>>717120103
That's what happens when words longer than 5 letters are used and marvel 1 liner quips are replaced with metaphors in 2025.

>>717119997
You have to head down the sidepath between the Anallum and the Shu Sanctum, it's easy to miss if you're focused on getting back to the Temple

>>717120457
honglan and bo lady are on chapter 4 and demon and white haired dude on chapter 5, you need to do white haired dude to spawn demon of obsession

>>717120512
>know the main point of interest is the temple
>there's other paths not leading to the temple
>decide to not take them because ???

Do I go across the bridge first or do I help hat guy fight ai nen guy?

>>717120210
she's very passive and all her spells/attacks are telegraphed and easy to dodge, the only danger is getting close to her and she cannot be parried so it's throwing you off a bit if you're used to longsword, but basically she's just a test of patience to keep distance and find the clean openings between dodging all her spells

>>717120432
I could never find a way to backstab her. Even when she had openings, she just turned invincible for some reason, before jumping away. Her kicks ALWAYS hit me, and each hit took 80% of my health. I could never get the timing for them. And in phase 2, her fox form would always get me at least once, and then she would go turbo aggressive, not allowing me to heal. Which led to me eventually taking a second hit, and dying.
The few times I got a good rythm in, she would pull out her shotgun and stop me in my tracks.

>>717120584
It's easy to forget lol
That section on the sidepath that actually leads down the hill is entirely missable and it's dark enough you won't see it when it's stormy

>>717120676
General of the rebels first, just in case since its tied to Nian's quest
That said i dont think that will brick if you kill the dude across the bridge first... but might as well not take chances

wait this looks like a boss arena

gonna come back later

>>717120794
it is

Just spam R1 and hope for the best.

>>717120745
What weapon were you using? The sped up charged R2 from a longsword made fishing for a backstab pretty easy

WHERE IS THE DAMN OLD LADY

>>717119506
>as a god gamer
>struggled with hongjobber
laughing out loud

>>717121030
upper floor of one of the houses that surround that zombie generator

its time boys, also good music

goon mods keep crashing my game but its worth it

>>717120959
Longsword

Is there a reason Magalhaes dug his own grave and lay down in it?

>>717121483
zanzibar...

>>717121158
but NOT in any of the tower with the bonfire?

>>717120103
>>717120484
Nta but i also missed quite a lot.
What i got is that Wuchang wants to resurrect her dead younger sister. To do so she goes to her childhouse home to retrieve a tool that her parents used to try to resurrect his toddler brother and fucked it up
She retrieves the tool, unbeknownst to her a piece out of 5 of a more powerful tool but contracts the feathering disease which messes with her memory and starts taking her arm. She loses conscience at some point on the travel back and her companion leaves her in the care of a tao doctor studying the feathering disease.
Game starts
Wuchang helps find information on the feathering disease and its link to the "Bo" people. She learns of the battle that the old deity had with its rival and how he trapped him but now is starting to seep out of his prison which is causing this whole red mercury shit.
Game ends
During the game we sort of learn that trying to ress her sister wuchang is trapped on a cycle by the cryptic boatman, which seems to be some sort of agent of death or grim reaper or whatever. Eventually she is only to break the cycle in 2 of the endings by either going deep into an illusion world in which she ress her sister and lived happily ever after or learning to let go and moving on with her live, sort of taking Fan Zhao as her younger sister surrogate. The other ending shows Wuchang trapped on the cycle and being experimented on by the tao doctor.

Without touching in the "themes" of the videogame thats what i got of the story.
Notes? plz no bully

>>717121630
Correct. It's near zombie generator that has the shrine near it

>>717121630
She is in a 2 story house, in the top floor

Is this the point of no return for one of the endings or its a check list to see which ending you have?

>>717121783
wont be able to backtrack

Where is the npc at Cloudspire outskirts? I have the picture of him on my teleport screen, he's the fag with the hat from that clan of orphans I presume

>>717121783
two of the endings require you decline him there and continue through that cave on your own
Once you are done with everything you can talk to him and accept to be TP to chapter 4 which is a fucked up chapter 1 so if you miss anything from chapter one you should do it now too

>the fucking mimic and his animations
Actually laughed out loud

is lotf level design this good?

>>717121920
I already had the bowl when i met him so never had to find him there but this is what google says

>>717121781
>>717121779
okay i found her
what the hell was my yellow compas pointing to then, it didnt point to her direction at all

>>717121703

I might be retarded because I missed so much of this.

>>717097541 (OP)
Where is her womb bump

>>717121954

What’s through the cave? I must have missed a lot. Explains why I got jarred.

>>717122032
nah, its smaller self contained setpieces
like every zone is made of a bunch of smaller pieces put together, you will know what i mean if you play it
part of it is to feed the ghastly lantern gimmick
I thought the game was very much ok, people like to pan it out but its a solid 7 souls clone imo
Really enjoyed the first boss, is a real boss, its no pansy shit

Can I explore Zhenwu before Cloudspire, or will I be breaking something?

>Panda has one of these
Is our man a chosen warrior by the Primordial Deity?

>>717119882
You get the good ending if you do.

What's the point of giving enemies weapon if you can't parry them it's bad signposting

>>717122191
small cave with a little loot that leads to a pier
there you meet a bunch of npcs you finished quests for as they are leaving in a ship (you might have heard about the ship in the refugee camp). You talk to them rest and then go back and they are gone and you can loot some rewards
the boatman is there too and loans you a boat to go to your childhood house
there you progress a quest, get some lore on Wuchang's family and fight the boss you fought at the start of the game on the tutorial
Which is the corrupted creature created by your father when trying to ressurrect wuchang's toddler brother

>>717122309
It seems you break several quests the moment you enter the cave that leads to mt zenhu (or maybe when you reach the shrine at the end of the cave).
I did mt zenwu first so i wouldnt know what happens if you do it properly

>>717119693
Before getting to Cloudspire you enter the Rebel Camp besieging the city, you're being baited retard.

>>717101048
He had 2.
So did the 5th stage boss.
The boss with 3 phases was that thing that jumped on random mooks and turned them into bosses in stage 6.

because these endings tied to the samsara ring are exactly verso's an maelle's

>>717122094
tbf the hardest part to get for me was the whole "cycle"
its mentioned a couple times but might as well take it on a more metaphorical sense
but on the bad ending you literally see the wuchang you played as getting trapped to be experimented on while the next wuchang enters the reverent temple, confirming that the cycle is real

Wow an easy boss for once, didnt even take a sippy

>>717118167
>>717118976
It was just faster and safer with the fire magic you get from the enemy right before.

>>717118472
I just think that giving a boss a move that makes it invincible for an extended period of time is retarded especially in a game like this.
Retarded design choice
>it's not even a melee boss to begin with too.
It literally charges at you the moment the fight starts and has several moves which let him jump at you, what are you talking about?

This game is THAT PART the game. i won't ever touch this again once i am done

>>717123115
im not SUPER far into the game but so far the only annoying place has been the mercury shop

>boss is weaker the second appearance
kino

>>717123115
Not a single stage in this game has fucked and annoyed me as much as OG Blighttown did. You people are a bunch of pussies.

>>717122471

Damn. Ok that’s where I went wrong. I was wondering where all the NPCs went that I did quests for.

Good Christian girl Bai Wuchang

I unironically like the plot of this game and i'm pissmad that it's ruined by shitty DS-style nigger delivery.

>>717123572
For me it was the kid with his head on a jar, the 2 drunken rebels from act 2, and the great yonder gang.
Don't know if there would be more had i not bricked their quests or whatever

>>717121954
nice, so i fucked that quest by advancing first, i didnt think they would port me away here and were just talking about going forward through that cave. i ported back now to go through it, but i guess its over. it wasnt like the other time, when there was no way out from the shaft anyways. the quest cutoffs in this game suck ass man

Just finished it.
I assume what I got was the bad ending because I gave that guy a chisel.

Is there a way to get another ending in the same playthrough? I don't feel like this game is interesting enough to give it another playthrough.

I gave the chisel away because I thought either I would get it back or find another one to make it 4 (there is still one I'm missing for the last acupoint thingy)

>>717123845
i mentioned it in another thread that the translation in english had to be fucked up
>continue onward
Yeah nigga onward to this cave in front of us!

>you talk to them rest and then go back and they are gone and you can loot some rewards
You tell us, for me there were several npcs at the pier >>717123731 to complete their quests and then the pinwheels dude on Wuchang's house to advance his quest for the secret ending
You tell us if they are there, assuming you had followed on their quests

>>717123956
no get jarred dumbass

worth it?

>>717123956

Nope you’re stuck in the jar and so am I

> Dragon Emperor Zhu Youjian
I hate bosses who waste my time with teleporting out of the field and long casting animations.

>>717124112

If you use all three of those on the poise break longsword with poi you’re OP as fuck

>>717123956
>I assume what I got was the bad ending because I gave that guy a chisel.
Correct, you got Chinese-Patched
>Is there a way to get another ending in the same playthrough? I don't feel like this game is interesting enough to give it another playthrough.
Yes on pc if you had done it before, you can create copies of saves before certain events, too late for you now
>I gave the chisel away because I thought either I would get it back or find another one to make it 4 (there is still one I'm missing for the last acupoint thingy)
The last acupoint chisel is held by the white haired dude, can only get it through his quest and then beating him, that also unlocks another extra boss

>>717124112
people say they are the best combo of relics, its the one i personally used cause i didnt find the relic system that interesting

>>717124163
>>717124254
Just found out that all options put you in new game+
Oh well

>>717124196
see
>>717105515

>trusting the cackling taoist "doctor" in chinese fiction
kek maybe we really do lack media literacy

has there been any speedruns of the game? felt like the usual speedrunners aren't giving a shit about the game despite the "good dark souls levels".

not gonna bother playing again till someone maps out the routes to take for fast feathers to +10 easily.

Game is fucking stupid

>>717097541 (OP)
Holy pixels.

>100k mercury

>>717124661
some anons posted a couple sequence breaks in a previous thread

>>717124697
at least elevator will be down there once you ress...
right anon?

>>717124697
They made this elevator so fucking slow on top of having you use it a ton on purpose
They clearly like to troll a bit

are you not supposed to deflect the lightning faggot with the shotgun?

>>717117795
you can see the buff under her health bar go down when you hit it

am i crazy or is there a dropped input issue at time

>>717117410
Just run behind her and backstab

>>717124972
You're probably accidentally queuing up a different input beforehand.

>>717124697
Exactly the same happened to me. And I was even wearing the same panties.

>there STILL aren't any good nude mods for this game
What the hell?
Did all the negative press about this on release drive away all the modders?

Stellar Blade had amazing mods within a day of release.

>>717123002
nigger are you fucking serious that was easily the hardest boss in the game for me wtf

>>717121483
He's thinking it's probably the end times so better just wait it out, and if he gets killed then at least he knows he's already buried as it's doubtful there would be anyone to bury him otherwise.

>>717125189
Stellar Blade was a known quantity from PS5 and it had a beta

I deflected the lightning faggot with the shotgun just call me the god gamer fr

fr fr no cap
Good Job anon!

I missed honglan rematch it seems
I was at this location but didn't see this path going up on the left and thought the game would make me come here later

Do I place both of these at the shrine?

Nuked in 3 tries, lowest of any boss so far

>>717126037
Did him in first try.

>>717125189
im shooting semen

>>717126130
Oh yeah? He was dead by the time I opened the door.

>8k players during NA hours
>40k peak players during chink hours on a weekend

How did the game playerbase go down from 131k so quickly? What went wrong?

>>717126364
People beat the game and moved on.

>>717126364
It's just people getting filtered.

>>717126037
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xyzplAas0M
They really wasted a 10/10 song on this regular mook who sometimes flies into the sky for 10 seconds. Was He supposed to be some important historical figure?

>>717126560
>People beat the game and moved on.
No, they didn't. They've been getting filtered. I have a job and a friend of mine wanted me to play Tarkov with him a few times so I'm still not finished

>>717124112
6-12% dmg buff, the 6-force is less potent than 3-force, and the 12-force gave me a 6% buff (522 -> 552)

>>717125725
Not that guy but same but probably second or third hardest. Something about the angles he took just fucked with my head.

How do I check how many disciplines I have?

>>717126560
How come the same didn't happen to Elden Peak? 30k players 3 years later vs 8k a month later lmao.

>>717126364
When are "gamers" going to learn about player retention and stop being surprised about stuff like this?

>>717126910
Because Elden Ring is a better game.

Just discovered you can cancel Dragon Emperor Zhu Youjians entrance roar with your Axe cannonball. Pretty cool. Sprint forward a little bit until you can lock on and shoot. Free damage.

>>717126884
Disciplines menu per weapon type, I'm pretty sure default disciplines count too

Ah, fuck.

>>717127116
I died two times here before I found the correct path

Bo Magus owes me sex with how much trouble she is giving me

>>717097541 (OP)
Any areas in this game that aren't an almost completely desaturated brown and beige color ?

>>717127116
>the path ahead wasn't in fact clear

>>717127073
Axe tree has a cannon ball? wtf

spot the nigga with the low gamma VA panel

>>717127478
Beat her my next try after posting this. Clearly this implies consent.

>>717127752
Isn't this the opposite of consent? She literally stopped giving you trouble the moment you said she owed you sex if she did.

You can spot the nigga but can you provide answers ?

>>717127116
>>717127213
It's almost like you have an item just for this kind of occasion!!!!

>>717126916
they already know about it and are not surprised
it's just petty gaymer brain and autism
if someone likes elden ring for example he will nitpick and post digs at another game from the same genre he doesn't like as much
the "what went wrong" should've been a dead giveaway

>>717127696
Yes, Li Jiaos Fang. It has great range and its super good in almost every boss fight because it can cancel most boss casting animations.

yo that dungeon after mistress of the night is fucking crazy

where the FUCK are these niggas in the Refugee Camp??

>>717128516
i believe both are after a short cut you'll unlock from avian marsh

>>717128575
I thought that might be the case but didn't want to risk beating a boss

Oh nyoo........

>>717127896
No she already owed me sex for previous attempts.

Wuchang and her inner demon lesbian intercourse

>>717128369
Is my favorite axe. Would love to see a proper build around it. Right now I am using Area Damage, Lethal Might and Skyborne Force.

>>717128516
He is up the ladder to the previous area. The one before the ladder that goes down to the forest. I spent 30 minutes looking for him earlier today

>>717128445
one of my favorite levels, looks intimidating at first but its really well designed

>>717126910
elden ring got free advertising from george rr martin and even elon musk

Okay what

Did I "miss" the entire Rebel camp by going through that mine shaft and coming up directly in front of the boss and Hat guy?

Do I go back and clear out Rebel camp now before crossing the bridge I lowered?

>>717125189
Why is the Stellar Blade MC so much hotter than the Wuchang MC?

Are Koreans better at making cute girls than Chinese?

>>717126560
Most people couldn't beat Honglan and moved on you mean

>>717128967
I think Wuchang is much more attractive than Eve.

>>717128663
its just a prank... for now

>>717097541 (OP)
Any good weapon combos I should be aware of? Been playing sword + axe for hours because that's the first two weapons we get in the game.

>>717129032
I seriously couldnt believe how easy she was after I switched to Longsowrd parry

I was fucking TERRIFIED of her from the stories but ALL of her attacks were easy to dodge and I just waited outside her range for the Lunge attack

Oh no, I told the pretty lady that I didn't want to restore the ming dynasty and now she is fucking dead. I really liked her shiny silver dress.

>Demon of Obsession gets a punch and kick moveset
WHAT THE FUCK????? Why can't we have that?

If they ever update the game I hope they add loadouts. I've never change gear this much in any other souls.

>>717129048
That's cool, but you're wrong.

>>717127086
Thanks.

Anyone else unironically love this game?

Yes, there are some dogshit early parts. Yes it takes a while to "click", at least it was for me. Yes the zone visuals could probably use be a bit more varied. Yes, it needed more weapons in the world to find.
But the fundamentals are just right. The combat is solid, the magic system is perfect (i hate mana potion based magic), and the looping paths and shortcuts are amazing
I really hope there's DLC and Sequel.

>>717129048
Eve is a MUCH better anime fuckdoll if we just go by looks. I like Wuchang a lot too though.

Is there a faster walkback in the Burning Cave than the shrine next to the Taoist?

>>717129616
I like it a lot but I would never have tried it if it didn't have cute Ziyun on the cover. Similarly I have no interest in playing Lost Soul Aside or Phantom Blade 0.

>demon of obsession can just bullshit out of her ass and kill you instantly
VERY FUCKING COOL

>>717129616
My favorite part is this is by far the darkest and most hardcore setting I've ever played in a souls like by a mile

I do like this game for how it has forced souls players to talk about runbacks again.

>>717129778
>I have no interest in playing Lost Soul Aside or Phantom Blade 0.
Bruh, same
Phantom Blade looks great but I just have zero interest playing as a middle age dude. Same reason I didnt get into Wukong.

>>717097541 (OP)
What's the lore behind the Forbidden Lands? Was that crazy shit always there and the birds found it or did they build it? If there was a god door why didn't they use it?

huge missed opportunity for wuchang to not have a capra demon like boss and arbitrary fog gates. I thought they almost got it with the tang maid in the first cave where you can exploit the room geometry and loot items. but the remaining bosses are just standard DS3/ER huge arena git gud slop.

>>717129931
So far it has all been baby runbacks at worst. Nothing will ever compare to the Lud and Zallen or Sir Alonne runbacks.

>>717129113
What's crazy and doom pilling about it is that she's unironically just a tutorial boss.

>>717130112
>tang maid in the first cave
What?
I fought a tang maid in a palace room, what cave is she in

>>717129882
I'm never going to forget The Shaft and the Perfect Bride lore

Okay that faggot bird who can suddenly whip out a rapid fire crossbow and end your life, is not cool.

>>717130151
There are easier bosses down the road
Shit, even final boss isn't harder

>>717117291
I had the opposite experience. The ice guy earlier on took me about 10 tries, but bride only took maybe 3, and the 2nd phase was a joke that I did in my first try.

>>717120705
Mistress was fucking me up for a few tries, but once I got used to backstabbing her, she was dead in seconds.

>>717130224
his beam goes through walls too :D

Realistically, what the fuck am I supposed to do?
>randomly can't clash with some of her spear attacks for no reason whatsoever
>swaps to magic
>can't even touch her because all her attacks will instantly kill you or kill you in 2 hits

>>717130227
>There are easier bosses down the road
I mean, sure, and everybody is going to struggle with different bosses regardless of their build too. Case in point, the guy below you talking about Ming General being hard replying to someone who struggled a bit with Fang Ling. Meanwhile I didn't struggle with either of them, but it took me like 10+ tries to beat Centipede.

Doesn't change the fact that Honglan is an easy fight that the game literally teaches you how to easily beat a moment beforehand, or that we have people viewing that tutorial about a mechanic designed to be used while the enemy is attacking and still complaining about there not being enough openings to attack for the fight.

>>717130525
I stunlocked her asshole with my axe. Died like twice.

>>717115936
Lies of P is the best Souls game, and the last boss of the DLC is absolute fucking KINO

>>717130634
honglan parry window was SO generous though

im shit at parry. i never parry in souls. i barely even used parry (or whatever the fuck it was called) in bloodborne

honglan? press l2 when shes luning towards me and boom, parry every time.

>>717130115
Only for the non-brainlets who want to explore things.

>>717129882
And it's not even that different from what happened!

>>717130159
It's mandatory on your way to the narrow stretch. Super slow version of the maid who walks up a ramp at you. Odds are you forgot her because she dies so quickly.

>>717130115
I remember Frigid Outskirts (who doesnt)

But was Alonne a bad runback? I dont remember at all

>>717130525
>constant attacks
>one of those million attacks does 3/4 of anons hp to kill him

This is what I've got to look forward in chapter 4? The bosses have already been utter bullshit

>>717131031
Are you telling me there were huge bird guys in China?

>>717130952
>kicks you
nothin personel

>>717131119
You can also attack and dodge constantly. You don't even know his stats or equipment choices either.

Parrying? Clashing? Spells? I just wait for the boss to do the one move that leaves their back open and I backstab. Simple as.

>>717131142
Yes.

>>717130525
I just dual sworded her...but I actually dodged certain attacks while casting the spell that reduces damage + the bubble that absorbs damage.

>>717131119
It's worse
>>717131354
>dodge
>*gets nothin personnelled kid*
>non-stop attacks that you can't clash
>get clipped by a cunt hair
>instantly chains an attack that she normally doesn't chain anything with to stop me from healing
>bubble gets popped instantly so it's worthless
>the ward doesn't even do anything to reduce damage

>>717131692
If this is just souped up madness demon she should be super susceptible to knockdowns.

>>717131692
I killed her just fine with my build, but I definitely had to be careful last phase.
>>717131840
She is, I've seen people just flip her over with the spear ability.

Every human enemy can be staggered, knocked and backstabbed. Just charge your might with dodges and cast a spell to knock her down.

>>717131692
You are dodging backwards too much, I pretty much always dodge behind her.

Any advice for The Reborn?
>>717131142
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_coffins
Yes but the Ming so thoroughly exterminated the Bo we only know of their existence from some sites they missed and Marco Polo

>>717132317
>The Reborn
Hug his back in both phases.

>>717131840
>>717131923
>>717132092
She finally decided to let me win
>dodge behind her
>she just teleports away or does tracking attacks
>>717132041
She can't be backstabbed. She gets slightly stunned when her poise meter is full and that's it.

>>717130525
Backstab after the big ones, irc that electric jump stuns

>>717132317
Stick close and behind him so he can't hit you with most of his melee attacks and unga bunga his ass till he jumps away and jumps back on you and repeat, I used dual swords with the leech while doing back attacks.

>>717132661

>>717132570
I don't understand Dual Swords, are you just mashing R1 until things die?
