Took me one hour for this Malenia at home bitch. Finally a real boss. Also holy crap, Avian March is such a big and cool level, and it's completely optional. The levels are so good. But where is white robe elder after?

>>717231298 (OP)
The Robe Elder is at the tomb. You can't fight him until after you reach the final area though

>>717231298 (OP)
I'm still in the snowfall palace

>>717232187
Nice, where do you get that underwear?

I'm confused by the arm infusion thing (idk what its called rn) it gives me a fire buff but it runs out fairly quickly. Is this shit even worth using? how does this work

>>717232462
As far as I understand is just a rrgular buff, you can get a few more ffrom the skill tree and needles, for me is worthless.

>>717232437
That's from the pre-order sets.

>>717232437
thats the pre-order outfit sorry bro

>>717232462
Tempering enhances certain weapons to make their effects more potent. Those weapons will say as much. You can get more tempering charges in the skill tree and there's a needle later that increases the duration. People mostly use fire or leech. Practically everything is weak to fire and anything that is resistant to it is not resistant enough.

>>717231298 (OP)
>Malenia at home

Does using the ancient chisel that warps you back to your last shrine also make you lose all your red mercury? I still have souls ingrained in me where using the warp item kills all your souls as punishment

why is she running around barefoot when every inch of the ground in this universe is covered in someone's decaying corpse or bodily fluids.

>>717233207
read the description

>>717232462
It's a decent buff with the right acupuncture needle bonuses + benedictions for your build, some weapons also have specific tempering bonuses. As an example Fire Tempering with the 2handed Flamebringer sword makes the L1 with skyblow charges do huge amounts of damage if enemy doesn't resist fire (almost nothing does) and you can buff it further with various stuff like benedictions, pendants and that one spell that boosts damage of your next attack etc. to the point you can kill some late game bosses in 3-4 L1 swings if timed right.
>>717231298 (OP)
This bitch on paper should be harder than Commander Honglan but I beat her in a few tries first playthrough just by parrying what could be parried and dodging the rest. One of the few bosses where the hitboxes are insanely forgiving that you just dodge into her to avoid everything she does. Never ever dodge backwards, but that's pretty much a hardrule for the game in general. On second playthrough I found out she's vulnerable to frostbite and just spammed that frost skull spell to kill her as she's one of the few enemies that resist fire and burning her takes too much effort if she never chills.

Wuchang is the hardest soulslike

>>717234930
There's not really much that's going to compare to Wuchang. The things you probably like from Wuchang won't necessarily be present in other games or it's not as good. What exactly was it that you liked about the game? That could probably help narrow down some better options. Sekiro is pretty easy

Chapter 1:
wake up in cave, lush bamboo jungle
small bandit cave in the hill
Town stricken with sickness
Go under the town to find them harvesting The Stuff down there
Cave with a spider lady in it (not Quelagg promise)
Ascend the lift into a "beach" full of burning trees and rotten sorpses
Passed the giant bloodtree golem is a climb into rural China to a beautiful but besieged golden temple

Chapter 2:
Ascend the snowy mountain, light the bonfires
Enter the fortress on the cliff
enter the snow covered town that's rife with political and physical corruption
Attend a wedding in an opulent mansion (you weren't invited)
Descent into the corpse factory and have sex with the bride, cucking the queen's son

Chapter 3:
it's literally just Zenwhu temple the forest is all optional side content.

Chapter 4:
Worship's Rise but backwards and 70% of it is optional

Chapter 5:
The bone pits lots of bones everywhere and more about the spectacle of watching the two factions of birds fighting each other.

>>717235073

>the boss difficulty
>the sexo
>the level design
>the setting
>the graphics

Honestly the only thing I didn’t like was that certain actions cut out content (e.g., going right at Cloudspire palace before talking to the boss). I liked just about everything about Wuchang. Might play it again.

>>717235435
Yeah, you're not gonna find anything. There's really nothing else like it despite some faggots saying it "uninspired and unoriginal" despite no other game being like it.

Is Wuchang a slut?

>>717235435
all the newer soulslike is just combat. the level design is trash...khazan, lies of P, etc. linear corridors and trash mobs whose sole purpose is to pad tie between boss fights. Souls games are all about exploration, not just having the flashiest boss fights. i feel like I'm living in a different dimension when I say Lies of P and Khazan are mid.

Black Myth Wukong is probably your best bet. Funnily enough it's advertised as a boss rush but the level design and exploration are top-notch

AI Limit has good levels but mid everything else

>>717235840
No, she's a pirate

>>717231298 (OP)
That's not the actual malenia.

>>717235108
Overall the level design for the game is great but Bo Palace is gay as fuck. They went all in on bullshit enemies with excessive HP and infinite stamina attack strings that just turns every other encounter into a fucking chore. Also constant ambushes or attempts to knock you of cliffs (or bait you into dodging off by mistake). Easily the worst area in the game. Zenwhu Temple with the Despair bullshit was annoying too but Bo Palace just has nothing good going for it other than frustration.
>>717234930
Lies of P is definitely harder than Wuchang, and I don't think Wuchang is even all that hard. It has some questionable overtuned bosses in some places (Honglan and Night Mistress in particular) and cheap combo strings but armor matters a lot to make things a lot more forgiving than it seems. Bai Kru also has way too much HP for whatever reason. Super easy fight but I think he might have the most hp of any boss in the game, way more than Vermillion Feathers Honglan and the final boss despite being fought in Ch3 vs. Ch4/5.

>>717235968
im suspecting its not just a dyke but its a full on tranny

>>717235968
What the fuck was her problem anyways was Yu Xia not putting out enough

>>717231298 (OP)
Nice soulsclone, chink

>>717232714

>>717236115
Love triangle. Yu Xia is bound to the Dragon Emperor as his consort and but while they clearly have affections for each other, Honglan is a girl so she can't be with Yu Xia which is why she has to crossdress as a man.

>>717231298 (OP)
lol

>>717236237
>>717236115

they also promised more free outfits as an apology for deluxe owners after they fucked up some stuff
i hope they release those soon

>>717235840
Wuchang is a good Christian girl

>>717236443
Honglan is a girl crossdressing as a man. A girl can't be the commander of the imperial guard. If she were found out she'd be thrown into the imperial harem as a concubine.

>>717236552
Were they blind?

Do not interact with people who post images with button hints enabled

I watched EVO today instead of playing

>>717236714
take your autism pills

>>717236626
Depends on what you're asking about.
Yu Xia, the girl in white dress you see throughout the game, is the consort of the Dragon Emperor. She, Honglan and the Imperial Guard (those swordsmen with bamboo hats) has been scouring the lands for a way to revive the Dragon Emperor. Honglan loves Yu Xia and vice versa, but it is forbidden love and their duty is to the emperor first so they Honglan is willingly being a cuckold to revive her love's husband.

>>717234930
Wukong has a more similar feel imo. Loved both games.

>>717236965
That's pretty gay

>>717233351
Because it’s hot. I wish we could make Wuchang go barefoot too instead of those dumb sandals that she wears when you remove everything.

>>717234930
Sekiro is easy because you can parry everything that doesn't have a flashing red symbol telling you to press another button and some of those attacks you can parry too. I wish they got rid of that

>>717236750
Did you see the virtua fighter gameplay? that was sick

This little hussy is such a bitch
To even carry on with her quest you have to find an item by emoting at a thing
Then you have to make sure you talk to her first and not He even though she's outside and He's inside the temple which is where you're naturally drawn to
Mess any of that? To the jars you go

The limb based combat was neat yeah

>>717237440
why she call him daxia

>>717232462
It does insanely good damage if you build for it with needles, pendants, and benedictions. You should always temper before a boss fight or tough enemy

>>717231298 (OP)
>Finally a real boss
You're going to love Demon of Obsession.

>>717232462
>I'm confused by the arm infusion thing (idk what its called rn) it gives me a fire buff but it runs out fairly quickly.
Keep playing.
There's a needle that makes it last 90 seconds instead of 60 also you can cast it 3 times once upgraded.
Look closely at the weapons.
Same get extra advantage from certain tempering types like Flamebringer longsword for example.
Then you pair with right Benefictions, like extra damage when enemy gets Burn status and now you melt everything in seconds.
Made Dragon Emperor bossfight a cinch for me.

>>717237440
Just do White robed elder if you want to avoid the jars

>>717238630
>Flamebringer longsword
is that even good

ive been using the chain longsword for the longest time

>>717238181
the first few seconds i thought someone made a first person mod

>>717238818
It is when fire tempered. The attached disciple gets upgraded to do heavy burn damage and fires multiple projectiles than can hit larger enemies multiple times, quite literally melting them.

I just cleared the rebel fort area, but I'm not felling it with the game. Is there much more of the game remaining or did I see pretty much everything that the game can offer.

>>717239151
I don't really understand this mentality.

>>717239151
Which chapter? If you are referring to Zhenwu temple in chapter 3, you still have chapter 3 and 5.

fuck i bricked myself out of demon of obsession

>>717238818
It is, with proper Benedictions and tempering.
>chain longsword
I use both.
Chain for better damage and reach while going through the areas and Firebringer for elite enemies and bosses.

>>717235968
>Beat her and white-robed elder one after the other
please tell me the remaining bosses aren't as bad

I'm not sure I can Wuchang much more

>>717239790
>fail a riddle so you get teleported to extra boss + area you need for best ending
That's one of more retarded design choices.
Also that boss fight is really not fun.
Aggressive enemy with infinite stamina long combos and magic spam.
Can teleport behind you or slash you from a mile away.
Also she can't be backstabbed or broken by slashing her furiously.

>>717240223
Elder is the hardest boss in the game

>>717236965
So what's the point of giving the bag to her girl, anyway? When I did it she just started crying, reloaded the area and she was gone. Does it actually affect anything?

>>717235968
>malenia
???
Her second form was easier to deal with than her normal human one.

>>717240334
>I killed your gf here's her bag btw
You can give her an imperial badge from the Bai Mansion instead for a Radiant Feather, that's about it

>>717240330
TOO EASY, TOO EASY

>>717240330
That would be Demon of Obsession, if you don't cheese her with spells and pillar.
Elder at least gives you ample time to heal and buff because of his parry stance.

>>717238818
It is fun for big bosses.

>>717240470
figures.
>>I killed your gf here's her bag btw
Wuchang does kinda strike me as being a autist only good at fighting in the same vein as Sekiro

>>717240514
Even though Demon of Obsession can't be knocked down she can be thrown off her feet or staggered with an axe or you can biden blast her with the pillar, for Zhao Yun you have to play the vidya game

>>717240334
She either dies sad or dies thinking Honglan is still alive.

>>717240809
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWwDqIANO1Y
>for Zhao Yun you have to play the vidya game

Went down the Snow Palace and it is crazy you fight her the instant you open the door

I did talk to her above so I'm all set but for anyone who probably assumed the "sides" can be explored safely first, this would be an instant fuck up

>>717240809
>staggered with an axe
Probably should do another playthrough with axe.
Kind of stuck with longsword for the whole game, didn't even switch the starting one until Dragon Emperor.

>>717240941
there's plenty of ways to instantly fuck up the quests in this game

see how getting jarred is the most common ending

Oh what the fuck
What is the elemental attack the Mistress of Night attacks you with?
She just one shotted me

>>717241004
purple balls?

>>717241094
Yeah,what is that

>>717241004
Corruption. She has an attack where she shoots out two waves of multiple orbs which explode in small aoe after a few seconds. It's completely harmless if you aren't in her face, but if you are she can instantly kill you with it and there's no real windup for it either. Fuck that boss desu.

>>717241163
If you are close enough for it to kill you you can also dodge behind her and get the instant backstab.

she keeps fucking dodging and i cant get my feathers from attacks, but still got her to 35%

probably isnt that bad

>>717241335
The thing is she can do it immediately after any of her moves so she can catch you with it after forcing you to dodge her kick or if you tried to sneak in an attack during her frost attack. It's one of my major gripes with the game how bosses seem to randomly have no delay or recovery from slow attacks if you try to attack them during them, Mistress with purple balls is one of the worst offenders of that bullshit.

>>717241581
yeah
just died now again from her blasting me in the face instantly after doing her slow ass attacks

>>717241380
Probably my main gripe with the game. The feather system on paper is neat. But if you can land combos on a boss that keeps dodging you, you are out of juice for most of the and just playing it like dark souls.
On the other hand, there is a way to farm those plant things that give you max feathers. In the invoke menu, you can buy 1 for 20% madness. You can buy all 5, become a demon, then just buy 2 madness cleansing items from wugang for 5000 mercury. Rinse and repeat.

>>717242231
You don't have to only rely on dodging and landing combos. There's other ways to gain feathers

She's got nothing on Wuchang

>ran out of pots
Fuck

Alright done for tonight I think. These sudden blasts to the face can just totally ruin a run.

>>717242927
I first tried her on NG with 1hand sword. I kinda forgot her moves during this run on NG+ so I got hit a few times but I beat her first try again. She's not that hard. I did this same exact strat in NG

JUST KIDDING

I said one more try and got her HAHAHAHA, now I can sleep

>>717243189
good job, shes was tough to figure out but thankfully has a small hp pool

What were your most difficult bosses?
Mine:
Demon of Obsession > Commander Honglan > Eternal Glory - Zhao Yun > Bo sorcerer > Dragon Emperor - Zhu Youjian

>>717244131
Zhao yun was one of the easiest bosses for me, first try. Though tbf I was using an axe and just stun locked his ass until he died.

>>717244285
I used longswords and fished for backstabs and that shitty granpa had a wake up slash so you couldn't even wail on him when he was lying on his back.

>>717244131
Just got to chapter 4, so far its
>Honglan
>Tiger
>Shaft woman

The most annoying fight was Night Mistress

>>717244131
First time through?
Honglan (both) > Demon of Obsession > Xuanyangzi > Dragon Emperor

>>717244465
>First time through?
Yeah.
Late game magic kind of trivializes lot of fights.
NG+ bosses are a joke with shield bubble.

>>717244131

1) Honglan
2) Tiger
3) Perfect Bride
4) Dragon Emperor

>>717244131
It's hard to decide because the boss is hard but then you discover that you can fish out backstab and it becomes doable. I guess bo sorcerer was the hardest for me because I had trouble backstabbing her so I just ended up summoning gendalf on her second phase to backsrab her more easily. Tiger in second place because he kept one shotting my ass

You know, after playing the game for about 71 hours. I've never crashed. With other UE games, I'd usually crash every now and then but this game ran really well besides some frame drops going between areas. I don't really understand how people have been crashing or having performance issues.

>>717244131
Mistress of the Night (forgot about backstabs)
Tiger
Emperor

>>717244765
Same for me, have yet to have a single crash on Steam. It was close one time when I loaded in a new area but it sorted itself out. Lotf still crashes almost every single play session for me to the point where I stopped playing it. I really liked lotf too, I thought it was EGS crashing but it crashed on Steam as well

>>717244765
Yeah the game is surprisingly bug and crash free for a ue5 and a chink game no less. I think some jank with getting stuck on elevators or maybe some wonky hitboxes although I'm not sure if the issue is my rig.

>>717236594
China is full of fuckable twinks, she is passable as one

>>717244765

40 hours here, one crash that entire time. No performance issues, no bugs, nothing weird. Overall pretty fucking solid.

Is it true that actual chinks hate this game cause it doesnt allow you to kill Manchu barbarians, only honorable pure Han-blood peasant?

this title has inspired me to order beef lo mein tomorrow

>>717245350
Its just part of the problem. Its a rabbit hole full of schizo shit that you dont really want to delve deeper into.

>>717244732

Sums up 3/4 of the game for me, rest were giant bosses where you stick to their asses.

>>717245509
Speaking of, dynasty warriors had a 25th anniversary celebration where it confirmed we are getting at least one remake. I'm hoping for DW4 (best OST) and SW2.

Is giving the mad doctor's notes to the taoist the bad ending?

I can tell he's a cunt

>>717245818
Taoist ask for a chisel when Burning cave opens up.
Don't give it to him, that's bad ending.

>>717245818
No, but it just proves he's a pyscho because his response to seeing a guy butcher women to harvest their body parts to create life on a female frankenstein monster is "hmmm, curious'.

>>717245860
obvously im not there yet but im surprised thats an option
so far the discussions with your "bro" seems to indicate that you want to gather all four chisels but i guess ill worry about that when i get there

>>717244765
23 hours here and no crash yet
i also have hundreds of hours in a certain other ue5 game and only a very small handful of crashes

So, what is this red thing that is strung up all over the place? Some sort of big ass pepper or a kind of potato?

>>717246595
Peppers to season the human meat

>>717246619
That is some big ass peppers

Brainlet here.
Is there a way to pick the 'correct path' without guide reading so you don't break NPCs quest lines when you can follow multiple paths?

Does magic stat affect utility spells like bubble shield or aoe heal?

>>717240495
Isn't this guy from the Three Kingdoms era?

>>717244765
One and a half playthroughs, only one crash.
Pretty strange one too.
I turned off the game while camping at Hillswatch shrine.
When I continued later it just crashed after loading the save.
I thought I am fucked and save is corrupted but it loaded normally on next attempt.

>>717247264
yesh

>>717246997
>Is there a way to pick the 'correct path' without guide reading
I highly doubt it even with reading all the items and paying attention to the dialogue. There's just no good way of deducing the order of speaking to NPCs

>>717247368
But this game's at the end of the Ming right?

>>717231298 (OP)
>An hour to beat a boss
I just can't be bothered doing that anymore.

The water attack was cool though. What was the last boss that uses the environment in one of its attacks in a From game? I've not played much of Elden Ring

can i kill these 2 for outfits?

>>717238181
EvilDead.webm

>>717247767
He's cursed or something, chasing his subordinates that turned to monsters and putting them to rest.
Even the guy selling you boss armors commented he heard about him, but then decided it can't be the same person because he'd be too old.

>>717247767
Yes

You have to consider this is a fantasy game and there might be a lore reason why he's there.

>Ancient Shu Dynasty was foundes by Bird people
>heres also Zhao Yun from Shu of the Han-Dynasty
>game at several turns tells you the Shu people worshipped the ancient god of shu
I could see this becoming confusing really fast bevause the game does a bad job effectively seperating Shu-Han and the Shu Dynasty

>>717248334
That is also because the land that is known as Sichuan today has always been called Shu hence the name. Shu is just the name of the location, just like how the north/central plains is called Wei. In layman's terms, Shu is just the general area of south-western china.

>>717247974
no but you can get something cool from them later

>Start NG+ to fight all the bosses I missed
>Respecc to dual sword because people say it's OP
>Get to Honglan
>Die
Even in NG+ with a OP build and, +10 weapons and severely overleveled, she's still trouble. I just died once, but still.
Now I am dreading Mistress of the night.

>>717231298 (OP)
You play like shit, no wonder it took you so long.

>>717249083
Imagine the smell though.
She must reek real bad

>>717249083
>>dirty, smelly, blood and 5-kinds-of-poisonous-shit covered panties

A couple of hand-to-hand styles as a new weapon class would suit this game. Beating up enemies with kung-fu or tai-chi would be mad fun. Also, I hope we get more cute panties and tops in the future.

>>717249378
Which panty is that

>>717249083
>>717249337
>>717248989

>>717249190
Duals are really strong in their role but kind of boring IMO.

>>717249445
soul ritual legs I think

Reminder that if you're just starting the game hitting early +5 nodes in other weapon specs is extremely valuable because it's not only more efficient but also because your offensive stats are also your defensive stats. Weapon scaling stats cap at 50 (on the lotus display) and vitality hard caps at 100 total (for a bit under 1900 HP)

>Didn't give anything to doc in burning cave
>Pick right answer for Bo Capital door riddle, met boatman inside
>finished last boss
>not beaten White Robe
have I got bad ending if I touch the final door?

>>717250157
That's normal good ending, not the best one.
You have to fuck up the riddle so you get teleported to area where Demon of Obsession is and after you kill her you can forge The One Ring needed for best ending.

>>717250157
Did you do He Youzai and Fang Yao's quests and have the two Rings of Samsara in your inventory?

>>717249606

I'd bang Honglan.

>>717250157
I think only having the ring of samsara matters for the good ending

Anyone tried going higher than NG+?
Is it noticeably harder?

>>717250746
NG+ is 150% damage NG++ is 200% damage and it doesn't scale further after that

I got banged by Honglan
repeatedly
and I liked it

>>717250427
Yu Xia...

>>717234178
You might want to read some historical accounts about Sichuan in the 1640s.
The game is actually tame compared to them.

>>717229828
From the savepoint, go onto the red pillar thing, follow the right side edge of it, there's a place you can drop down to a lower platform that leads to a path up.

>>717251305
>Buglio and Magalhães arrived in Sichuan in late 1640 in an attempt to establish a Catholic mission and witnessed Zhang Xianzhong's unrelenting march into Chengdu and the ensuing brutal killing and widespread looting in the provincial city. They were brought to Zhang Xianzhang who first befriended them, ordering them to work on a celestial and terrestrial globe and explaining to him the doctrine of Christianity, principles of Western science and technology, but suffered from Zhang's occasional mental derangement and outbursts of murderous anger, and escaped execution only by the intrusion of the Qing forces to his camp in early 1647 that ended the life of the notorious tyrant.

>Zhang Xianzhong (張獻忠 or Chang Hsien-chung; 18 September 1606 – 2 January 1647), courtesy name Bingwu (秉吾), art name Jingxuan (敬軒), was a Chinese peasant leader who led a peasant rebellion from Yan'an wei, Shaanxi (today Yulin, Shaanxi province) during the Ming-Qing transition. He conquered Sichuan in 1644, and named himself king and later emperor[2] of the Xi dynasty.
Oh, it was bothering me that every rebel camp in the Chinese name for the zone referred to them as the "Xi army", thought they were coming from the west or something, this makes sense.

>>717252018
A number of characters in this game were real niggas

>>717246595
>sichuan
>where they put chili in everything
>people thought the huge ass pots in rebel army camp were red due to blood

What the fuck was this nigga problem?

>>717252314
There are corpses and remains all throughout the camp, with pools of blood in the ground for seeming no reason. Also some of the meat in the soup seems suspicious.

>>717252376
They're definitely eating people, but the pots are red because of the chili. Even the npcs with baskets on their backs says they at least got soup to not freeze.

>>717252518
pepper isn't actually hot

>>717249606

There should be an animation where Jane Wuchang undresses the bosses

>didn't give chisel
>uhhh actually chud, you did, see this cutscene?
>Now get in the jar
faggots

>>717240354
The first encounter was parry bait, the second a dps race.
Which one you found easier depends on your playstyle.

>>717236519
Best endorsement for Wuchang I've seen yet.

No but she does get molested repeatedly

Whatever fetish you call that
Has anyone made a collection of all the grabs in the game? I've dodged most but some of the bosses have super elaborate ones like Bo Sorc and Ming General

>>717231298 (OP)
I uninstalled after beating the bug boss, what a janky ass piece of shit.
If the devs are trying to one-up Fromsoft, they shouldn't fuck up the smallest things Fromsoft have gotten right since the DaS3 days. The mc being able to do all sorts of jumps and flips in combat but then taking 3 business days to get her fat ass off the ground is infuriating.

But... who/what is the Boatman?

>>717255403
He's whoever China's Charon analogue is

>>717255403
Possibly the one sending all the gold birds to guide your way.
His left arm has glowing gold feathers.

How to beat commander Honchang5

>>717255574
I think the birds are just duryal/storyteller since he's pretty much the OG avian god.
As for the boatman something I don't get is why solving every riddles not only locks you into the jar ending but opening the last one in the bo capital you see the boatman laughing like a maniac.

>>717255702
>why solving every riddles not only locks you into the jar ending
It does?
Wasn't it the part where you give chisel to Taoist in Burning cave?

>actual thread thrives

>>717255785
The last door you need to answer wrong to get to the area to forge the rebirth ring.

I thought all the videos coming out of china were edited bullshit fakes with filters, but do Honglan and the Madam prove that China has just been keeping secret 8-9ft tall mommies to themselves all these millennia?

>>717252115
This explains his schizo rant during the second phase of the tiger boss lol.

I knew I shouldn't yet I listened to the storyteller. Fuck my life.

>>717255785
You get jarred even if you don't give him the chisel if you don't do the Sucessor Ending and you failed either He or Feng's questlines. He just kinda has the chisel in the final cutscene. Really caught me off guard which was kind of fitting, I guess.

>>717255865
Rebirth ring is only needed for best end.
You can get the second best one without it.

How do you deal with the pot goblins the best? I'm at the temple past the refugee camp and I still struggle hard with them and have to chug like 4 potions.

Side boobs lady is too hard :(

>>717257142
I tag them with lashing whip's first two r1s and kite them. Getting near those fuckers always gets me killed when they sperg.

>>717257142

whoop their backsides
gtfo out of range once they start going full spastic
i don't remember beating even one without chugging

>>717257253
I had some melties over her bullshit on ng+ since I could just blitz her down
- Deceptive range on her bubble creation, 3 hits
- Gotta dodge towards the godsword just after she starts descending towards it
- the swordstaff, she's going to swing again quicker than you can react
- keep an eye on the ground if she's dancing she's going to kill you while you're grabbed

My flask is at +4.

But I've been to the first 5 lost remains locations and I've taken all of them. Is this a known bug? I feel like I'm going crazy I've been back to check all 5 locations.

>>717232437
Preorder apparently. Soooo just pirate the game

Is Twin bandits the best dual blade? I got one with more damage, Bitter Severance, but I can't use temperance on it.

So who was the storyteller?

>>717256148
Rolling? All I do is clash all day or deflect attacks.

Is Avian Marsh a bonus area or a main area meant after the temple? The boss is quite difficult. Thinking about coming vback when my weapon is further upgraded.

>>717258596
>Thinking about coming back when my weapon is further upgraded.
heh
found tiger, tried him couple of times
noped the fuck out of there to upgrade my weapon farther
ended up in avian marsh
got fucked by lewd bird bitch six ways to sunday

>>717258596
Bonus area meant before the temple. Boss is easier than Zhenwu's top boss.

>>717258596
She's up there for hardest bosses in the game, no shame in heading through the temple to get some more stats and flasks

>>717258896
>>717258898
>>717259041
Alright I'll keep going at her. It was mostly that her health seemed much larger than other bosses that made me feel like maybe I was underequipped even with +7 weapon

>get both samsara rings blind
>See use is avaible, think it'll put them together like the description says
> Pain

I've seen cope online saying the "best" ending is actually completing all that shit but not having the rings, but fuck I'm pissed off/stupid.

>>717258532
You can also find a bunch of Bird people bowing down and praying towards Storyteller in Bo Capital when you gobto where he is. I wonder if they all are actually praying towards him even those in the beginning.

>>717259568
You have to put it together but consume it was the way to go for the best ending.

>>717259880
Oh shit lets go I thought it was just cope.

>>717258532
Unc broke out of the alter, he was too stiff after waiting too long for us to arrive.

>>717259194
She's trivial if you summon old dude and slap her in the back. Pretty sure that's the intended method since she has so much more HP than anything you've fought until this point.

Can someone explain, are these spear skills the same? Why are they called different?

>>717261259
Each weapon has their own skill on L1
L2 is called discipline skill, and it is unlocked from the talent tree.

>>717261363
I'm asking "Ebb and Flow" and "Vortex Thrust" look exactly the same, they seem to be not unique or am I missing something?

Wuchang has a jiggly butt

>>717261564
Did you have the skyborn might cost required to use them?

>>717259568
you are literally me and I made a new playthrough once I found out my idiocy locked me out of a boss fight.

>>717261738
Yes

>>717261564
yeah seems like it's the same skill in the end (stormlash dragon) for both

Why doesn't this shit have a map?
>big hub area with 3 paths leading out
>every single fucking path has a bunch of extra forks and if you don't meticulously comb each and every one of them you'll fuck up some NPC's questline
>you'll also fuck up quests by picking the incorrect path and doing shit earlier or later than expected
Do I have to learn Feng shui to make this make sense?

It is vital that I inform you that the bridal panties are the sluttiest panties I've found so far, you just need to wear a top that disables the dress.

>>717261836
Yeah, those two are identical.

>>717261959
>bridal panties
What did I miss?
Aren't these quest item you give to butler in the snow city?

>>717261868
>>717262057
Okay, I just found it werid that all other weapons' skill are unique.

Next round of dumb questions.
What the hell are those blades things on all of my items?
What is a "backstab"? Just hit from the back or what? Coz I figured it's different from Obliterate.
How can explosion (eg from Cloudpiercer spear) damage be improved? Is this considered "magic"?
The hell do I do if I ran out of Mind Lotus seeds?

>>717262294
No, bridal dress.

This end of chapter 4 boss is utter fucking bullshit I've had enough. EVERY single attack he does knocks you down, and then he teleports 4 fucking miles away and starts spamming spells at you.
The runback is boring, the first phase is too long, the arena is too big, too many knockdowns, the second phase always starts with that long ass unskippable giant sphere spell, and the hitboxes are an absolute mess for his ground stomps. I'm no longer having fun.

>>717262346
>Okay, I just found it werid that all other weapons' skill are unique.
I think it's because they rushed out some new deluxe weapons after the issues where they made all the regular versions deluxe ones.
>What is a "backstab"? Just hit from the back or what? Coz I figured it's different from Obliterate.
R2 hitting the back triggers opening for obliterate
>The hell do I do if I ran out of Mind Lotus seeds?
slutmaxx your armor so you have a larger despair meter

>>717262473
>The runback is boring, the first phase is too long
This is where I took a serious look at my weapons, benedictions and pendants and found out that swapping starter longsword with fire longsword and a bunch of supporting benedictions and temperings I could melt the first form before the first tempering buff run out.

>>717262746
>slutmaxx your armor so you have a larger despair meter
this was always pretty funny
no matter what debuff was involved, there was a skimpy outfit that would slow down the buildup considerably

>>717262746
>slutmaxx your armor so you have a larger despair meter
Already did, but if there's like 2 of those despair fags are walking nearby it fucks me way too fast

did i take the wrong path, everything is so strong

>>717232714
>he didnt download the jiggle physics mod

>>717263007
Did you clear the side area next to Shu Sanctum? It's where you fight Lu Hongliu and there's a funny monkey man that shoots fire.

>>717263007
You may want to go back to do the other area by Shu Sanctum before coming here, if you haven't already. This place is a pain in the ass to get through regardless, have fun, lol.

>>717231298 (OP)
>Commander Honglan
What the fuck is this trash boss fight? Can you even touch her during second phase? Are these flurry moves parryable?
I just got obliterated in seconds.

>>717263290
i believe i fought some woman in a cave, then a guy in a building then a scorpion in a cave

If I don't kill the glutton bird does something happen post game since her boss arena gets reused?

>>717263440
Every weapon attack is clash/deflectable. Every punch and kick is not.

>>717263440
if she attacks with a weapon you can parry it, martial arts? no. gotta know when to dodge and when to parry

on the bright side, if you've got counter her first phase is babymode

>>717263440
dodge a lot and backstab her after she lands behind you with her big jump dive till she dies
it's like 2 backstabs maximum and maybe one or two slashes

>>717263537
I tried to parry her flurry, no good results.

>>717263537
Yeah, I got counter.

>>717263595
I'll try.

>>717259880
Okay finished it and got the true ending, guess people lied and you don't use the rings.

>>717263661
True ending is Jar.

>>717231298 (OP)
Does anyone play this on a Piss5? How is it running? Playable? Is there a difference between OG and Piss5 Pro in terms of performance?

>>717262946
Use invoke, kill yourself, kill demon, repeat and get these.

You can kill the despair heads if you don't face them directly, backstab plus attackchain afterwards should kill them.

>>717264093
idk about piss pro but fighting the madam of the night on release was literally pixelated for me like a fucking retro game lmfao. They released a patch that brought the visual stability up way high. But that cauldron texture at the reverent shrine still looks dogshit.

>>717264201
How is it in terms of FPS is it playable or does it dip a lot ?

>>717264134
Thanks, I actually have 33 of those

>>717262346
Pls resbond
>How can explosion (eg from Cloudpiercer spear) damage be improved? Is this considered "magic"?
>What the hell are those blades things on all of my items?

>>717264430
I play performance, so I don't really see any fps drops. Although lately I've been getting random freezes, but I think it's something going a little wrong with the autosave function. Used to be smoother.

I cannot believe my wife Bo Magus would do this to me

>>717264509
Cheers, thanks!

>>717264507
>>How can explosion (eg from Cloudpiercer spear) damage be improved? Is this considered "magic"?
There's an explosion benediction, I imagine its raw damage scales off its primary damage stat, if you wanna find out, slot the stat temperances in and out. I've never seen the blade thing.

So, what's the expansion for this game going to be?

>>717264578
>in the Bo Successor ending when you beat the Bog Magnus she sniffs Wuchang's hair before proceeding to molest her
that's not fair, usually Wuchang gets her underwear after a fight! not this!

>>717262473
Dragon Emperor and the final boss are just boring. I imagine the game is a lot better if you go with Bo brat's ending

>>717264578
>Bo magus
>no cool feathers barely covering bare tits, just somewhat festive looking rustic clothing
WASTED POTENTIAL

>>717264507
If it's an weapon ability it's always buffed by weapon upgrade level and stat scaling.

Look at the stats, the top numbers are your stats, bottom yellow text shows which stat gives scaling bonuses.

>>717265016
That's the point of her. She's a "I have no feathers, the East has fallen, millions must die" type seething because She Will Never Be A Bird.

>>717265119
I don't care about points, I just want more feather tits.
And it was already disappointing you didn't get some outfit at least mimicking the Bo sorcerer's appearance

>>717264912
You travel back in time to the fall of the Bo people and realize the Magus some how timefucked herself back into the bast to undo the fall of her people, and you have to fight them with the power of feathering and the future, except their empire is at its prime, and they're all super hot bird ladies, a number of which are decadent and horny nobility who don't take the looming collapse of their empire seriously, and would rather play with their new weird toy (you). As you defeat them the difficulty increases diegetically as they start to take you seriously as a harbinger of the end.

holy shit how many estus upgrades can you get? I am up to +12 and still finding golden chests.

>>717265276
>and they're all super hot bird ladies, a number of which are decadent and horny nobility who don't take the looming collapse of their empire seriously, and would rather play with their new weird toy (you)
Where do I send the money?

>>717265349
Well just look at the tree and that's what you get. 15 potions max

>>717264912
Stuff related to the Bieling I presume.
I might have missed out on something, but the first time I heard them mentioned was all the way at the end. Feels weird to pull out a 2nd ancient civilization that late in the game, especially since they were powerful enough that the final boss' sword is specifically mentioned to be a sealed artifact from them.

>>717265021
>>717264628
Okay, thank you!

I have learned to simply ignore enemies. Most of them are not worth engaging. Too annoying.

>feathering temper gives 250+ dmg to the feathering sword
no wonder I have an easier time with it compared to my previous spear run

>>717265276
>fighting a stagnant profligate aristocracy
The CCP would never allow this unless the birdpeople are so American it's impossible to look past

>>717265492
Bieling is the birdguy who decided he would just claim immortality instead of lying down to die like the Gods demanded of him.

>>717262473
Yeah this boss was annoying, especially the P2 transition. He fucks up all spell projectiles, too.
But he is terribly weak to be unga bunga'd to death.

>>717264093
runs almost flawlessly on xbox and my gf even commented how pretty it looks. Ps5 can't be that different

is there any must-have upgrades or can i just blindly just upgrade damage

so do I have to eat one of the rings in my inventory before touching the door after last boss? What?

>>717265554
But I need that sweet red mercury...

>>717266354
The left path has a bunch of utility upgrades, a number of which grants you various mechanical changes at high madness, so you want to pick those up.
Also, you can respec at anytime for free in the skill tree menu.

>>717266556
Well go get it. I am not fighting another huge red bird monster.

>>717266354
You need to go through the left path as it has general upgrades including your estus flasks, tempering and number of skyborn might charges. Other than that pick your weapon and do whatever.

I fucked up my save copying and dont want to do ng++ to make up for it.
What weapon should I try on my new character? I've only used Longsword so far.

>>717267504
spear

>>717265492
The entire backstory is in the lore trailer they dropped before release.

Also it was a bird civil war.

>>717265119
I never understood the concept of the Bo Magus. Do the Avians that follow a Magus have something like a background check to check if she is actually in contact with the God of Shu/Primordeal Deity? Could I just go up to them and say Yo I can hear that stupid eye talking and I'd become their quasi king?

>>717265492
Both Duya and Bieling are refered to as "god of shu" or "primordial diety", it just depends on it's coming from. Bieling is represented by the red eye you see all over the place whereas Duya are the annoying black birds. Whenever Bo Magus says "primordial diety" she's 100% refering to Bieling.

Wtf bo magus was optional? Fuck

>>717268620
The magus is just a head priest for the bird people. Duya explains that the one you're dealing with has gone turncoat and converted to red team instead. Her guard doesn't give a fuck which team she follows, they just loyally guard her.

>>717268645
I dont think primordeal deity should be made equal to the god of shu. Duryal was the original oracle serving the primordeal deity (basically the first Magus) until they started worshipping him as an actual god.

>>717234930
enable hardmode and it's not so easy anymore

>>717268869
Bo Sorcerer was too busy sitting in the swamp waiting for her Old Man to spear her I guess

>>717268957
They're the same. Duya is worshipped as a diety by avians and later worshipped as god by the shu people. The lore trailer straight up says so. Keep in mind this is ancient times where people who didn't know better would worship you just for being able to pull some magic tricks.

>>717264430
It generally performs great on PS5 Pro, but there were some points where it gets laggy after a few hours. I close the game and also restart the console for good measure, then it's back to great framerates for a few more hours.

>>717269908
>Performs great
>30 fps stutterfest
snoys really don't know what good performance is

>>717270078
retard

My guess is if a DLC happens we'll actually be able to fight Bieling since it was never said he was killed, just wounded/defeated. I actually expected him to show up at some point but he never did, just a bunch of those red demonic birds.

>>717270557
I just want a Honglan fight with a second phase.
That fight really felt too short

Zhao Yun in this game is basically Gerhman.

>>717262473
I guess you suffered excruciating pain

boy I hope the last boss fight doesnt have a second phase too.

>>717271219

>>717271515
I dont.

>>717271515
>hey Wuchang, take this armor I got for you. It includes another pair of tight leather pants perfectly shaped for your ass, haha. I made sure the leather was still soft around the ass so it can jiggle, haha. I'll stick a pinwheel in there- I mean, a pinwheel on the road so you know where I am.

>>717273327
You can transmog into something more decent. You CHOSE to dress like a WHORE because you are one.

>>717273403
>transmog
You didn't beat the game.

>>717273329
This game is honestly pretty fucking dark, especially for a chinese game. Last pretty fucked up thing I remember in an rpg was in DA2 where you're forced to see your own mother as a stitched up zombie and you couldn't save her.

>>717273464
Shut up slut.

>>717252018
Can you kill these christcucks? The Japanese did that after all

>locked myself out of fighting Zhao Yun because I interacted with a riddle door
>locked myself out of fighting another boss because I answered the riddle correctly

Fucking shit

>>717273952
Demon of Obsession is not a big deal since the fight is pretty meh, but missing out on the White General sucks

>>717252018
>>717251305
Li Dunggou and Sun Kewang, the friendly rebel guys, are also real people. Li Dunggou especially went on to be a pretty badass general for the Ming after the rebellion collapsed and repelled the Manchus a couple of times before being forced into Burma/Myanmar where they were finally cornered and the last Ming emperor was captured and executed. Li died of despair after that.

>>717270557
I assumed he was what was sealed down there in that final area

>>717273329
>pathetic

>>717271515
I do the same

Also I also take ten screenshots and spin the camera around whenever there a grab attack on wuchang

Looking into Zhan xianzhong's past, I honestly think they were pretty tame with his portrayal. Buglio describes him as a satan incarnate. They should have went full bloodstarved beast on him or some shit.

>people play something where characters names aren't english names
>suddenly everyone becomes a drooling retard
>deliberately goes for chingchong instead of just looking up the actual name
>proceeds to also play the game like they have a blindfold on and everything is the games fault and not theirs
What do you call this phenomenon?

>>717273329
wuchang do you really have to comfort the greving child while dressed as a stripper

>>717274692
>proceeds to also play the game like they have a blindfold on and everything is the games fault and not theirs
To be fair the game is like nearly impossible without a guide. I think most people have gotten the bad ending because it has 2 fail states that are very easy to fuck up, talking to he youzai before feng yao and taking the "wrong" answer on the riddle door at bo capital.

>>717274692
people aren't failing cause of the chinese, they're failing cause it's really easy to brick ending-specific quests by going to an area early

>>717274692
The game cheats and just gives Taoist the chisel even if you refused in the cave

I'm so glad this chinkslop flopped
You should all kill yourselves

>>717274952
Not really. I got Bound by Fate's Threads ending as my first ending and I didn't use a guide. I'm not a chink either. When you're presented with talk to Fang Yao and He Youzai, Fang is closer so why wouldn't you talk to her first?
>>717275084
>people aren't failing cause of the chinese
Maybe I didn't convey it but I meant I've seen people play this, especially based on these threads, where it's like they put significantly less effort into remembering anything about the game because it's chinese. They refuse to remember names of anything, they don't follow the story, they don't read, and then you got people like this >>717263461 >>717263007 who I can only assume is playing with a blindfold on.
>>717275104
I don't know what you mean by this.

>>717275384
It sold 1 million copies in a week with a budget of 0$ because chinks dont get paid.

>>717274952
I wish there would have been some sort of hint regarding the final door. The way it is, its just a 50/50 coin flip wether your entire playthrough is fucked or not.

>>717275394
>refuse to give taoist chisel
>didn't give girl scarf

Jarred.

I just arrived at the Avian Marsh and damn this level is really pretty.

Do the people that bitch about long drinking times know that other healing consumables have much faster animations and heal quite a hefty amount? Health Pills are like 40% of your HP bar for almost no animation downtime.

idk how to play axe. im always low on might

>>717275510
You didn't do enough for the good ending then, you don't *have* to give him the chisel to get the bad ending.

>>717275720
It shows him with the chisel in the cutscene.

is it possible to save the priest or he always gets buried at the garden?

I got jarred as well.
What's a 100% guide to follow for the true ending?

>>717275084
>it's really easy to brick ending-specific quests by going to an area early
Meanwhile DS3 be like, didn't do this very specific impossible to normally think of action before killing a certain early/mid game boss? Quest bricked forever

damn i thought this granny was dead when i didnt give her the food at the very start

>this man thinks people will read or look at what is in their inventory
You're giving people too much credit. Give me blinking arrows that point where I'm supposed to go, yellow paint to show me what I can interact with, and bosses that prostrate themselves before my might and we're good to go, dude!!!

>>717275454

>>717276435
Literally just do all of he youzai's and feng yao's quests. They are all that matter for the good and true ending.
>Talk to yao first then youzai at the reverent temple in act 4.
>dont give the doctor the jade chisel
>answer 'the wheel of fate turns anew' in the riddle door in act 5
That's it. The good and true ending now just depends whether you keep the ring of samsara in your inventory or not.

>>717276860
Don't forget the old man's because you get the extra boss fight

I just call them "large hat dude" or "old white hair dude" or "crazy lady" or "barefoot red lady"

I dont know how to dodge Xuanyangzi double swipes. I can dodge 1 but the second always hits me.

>>717275394
I also found my way to Doomwilllow without going across the invisible bridge

I actually made a note to remind myself to check the bridge later but after the underground opened up, I basically went "oh cool new path" and went down there

Personally I dont think it was a good idea to plan the early level this way. Mercury shop was an absolute shitfest and that's with me realizing I should put on some Corruption gear. Players who didnt realize the armors made THIS much of a difference for resistances are all going to be pissed off in Mercury Shop and quit

The last half of Zhenwu Temple with the despair niggas is fucking miserable.

I like these pants

>>717277115
Do you happen to have object impermanence too?
>>717277205
After killing Lu Bingzhang, I opened the underground too. However, with the corruption buildup I decided to go check other areas I noticed but didn't explore. Then, when I had no other choice but to go underground, I went that way. Also, you don't even need corruption gear. That first walkway if you just walk in the middle, you won't get corrupted. You can literally avoid the corruption everywhere else. Even getting the items in the corruption fog won't corrupt you even without the resistance. There's an item that looks like you'd get corruption if you start walking towards it but if you walk in the middle, you won't get corruption at all. Mercury Shop is a literal non-issue if you have a functioning brain. Not only that, you get a lot of Camellia

I turned myself into a pickle He Youzai!!! IM PICKLE WUCHANG!!!!

Though I won't say no to these either

>>717277578
Nah, dont be retarded like this. I'm 22 hours in and loving the experience but this game absolutely has some very rough edges early on.

I also hope you're old enough to realize thinking about how easy something is in retrospect is not the same as going through them the first time fresh. It's like creating a puzzle and then thinking "did I make this too easy?" when you only think that way because you already know the answer.

>>717277115
Barefoot red lady owes me at least 20 rounds of bareback sex where I nut inside with how much trouble her shenaigans has been causing.

Ah yes, how to forget the 5 different ways to access Anor Londo of Dark Souls.

>>717278358
Whoever drew this didn’t play dark souls

>>717278358
Anon I love dark souls but I don't think DS1 is quite that level of branching.

I gave the medicine to the yonder gang kid to heal his father, and now he's saying he's waiting for the rest of the gang, but they disappeared for some reason at some point and I don't know what happened. Is this alright or did I fuck up somewhere?

>>717275714
You only really get worthwhile might by landing your combo finisher. Before getting the discipline mastery set of benedictions which are too strong to really ignore, I used a benediction that gave 1 might per enemy kill just so I'd always have a full stock when running into an elite while exploring so I could start with rampage. Eventually you just learn to hit your combo finisher, even if it means using whiffed hits to close distance instead of running up and starting the combo at melee. I think as long as your 2nd and 3rd hits land, you can combo infinitely. It also helps to know that your combo loops back to the 2nd hit instead of the first if you keep it going after the 4th hit, and some skills like rampage and earthshatter will actually skip to the 3rd combo hit after using them. I think Empyrean axe skill also does it, and makes for an easier way to just constantly be in a boss's face.

Your only real cockblock is bosses constantly dodging out of attacks, and you have to learn to recognize when it fucks up your infinite stamina shenanigans so you can back off and regen before starting again.

MOTHERFUCKER. I'm taking a break for a bit after this bullshit. Fucking spear cunt.

I reforged the ring, can I still get Demon of Obsession if I beat Zhao Yun and go back to the obvious boss room?

he gave me something in return for the chisel but I have no idea what it was and I cant find it in the inventory

>>717279912
>discipline mastery set of benedictions
?

>>717280046
Never trust an enemy with back turned

>>717280046
They really set you up for that one. A full level of training you to think that those guys are alone on platforms and BAM they hit you with it.

That was hard! Well I am done with this game. I failed every quest, missed 3 optional bosses and got jarred because of course. Who plays with a 100% guide the fist playthrough. If they make dlc and add more build variety I'll do a second playthrough.

Wutang Clan gets a 7/10 from me, Anon.

>>717280708
The ones that give you damage bonuses for having 3, 6, and 9 discipline skills unlocked. Together they form a set that also buffs damage for having 12 discipline skills unlocked, and everything added up results in about a 50-60% damage buff. I don't know how good the individual ones are, and you won't complete the set until pretty late in the game, but I don't think much else can compete when it's complete. Then in ng+ you can buy the +1 set really early and just going to that added another 50 damage to every swing.

>>717280878
>>717280046
At this point, whenever I see a backstab opportunity, I immediately start checking all around me to make sure it isn't a trap.

>>717275714
You don't need magic to stunlock enemies.
Learning to harass a boss effectively requires some tries thoughever because FUCK their little interrupts during a combo or gay little dodges.

>>717261927
So theres this thing called level design, i know its scary for zoomers though, but you can do it!

>>717281185
Holy fuck is that set really that good? I've been completely ignoring it because the obliterate/consecutive hits benediction set was decent enough

>>717280046
On one hand I want to laugh at you because who the fuck doesn't check the corner before picking up an item/backstabbing an enemy in a soulslike?
On the other hand that specific spearman managed to push me off twice even though I had spotted him waiting, so yeah.

>>717280046
This game does this same thing sooo many times. Always check corners.

>>717281185
can you show me zoomed out screenshot which ones are you talking about

what happens if you kill the tutorial boss early? is he not there anymore on the beach map?

>>717282342
you get 5 skillpoints

FUCK this annoying cunt
anyway just beat this bitch, when the FUCK am i gonna get more brilliant red feathers, i'm +5 on longword mastery and need MORE

Very easy to do by just dodging and using the braap axe

>>717280474
it's just some health item

he'll also be able to be summoned during the boss fight

how do i even dodge Huang Yan' s fox bullshit?

>>717283106
What do you mean nigga you just use the dodge button it doesn't have any weird timing involved.

>>717283106
>how do i even dodge
the dodge button nigga

>>717282840
Yea I'm stuck at this one, no clue how to approach her.

never trust asian dudes with glasses

>>717283283
dodge behind her when she does her corruption instakill and charged heavy to stagger her
i also used poise build temperance and that took out another chunk of hp

>>717283283
bait her shotgun and slap her ass, it has poor tracking

Guys i have a confession...
i think i like most of the non revealing outfits better

They're purchasable from wu gang and the panda I think. Discipline skills are the ones you get on the skill tree and can equip to weapons. You start with 5 already, 4 from a single weapon tree gets you to 9, and you need to pick up another 3 from different weapon trees.

>>717281727
Just tested the NG+ version and my first r1 damage on the nearest enemy from a shrine when from 597 to 1003

>>717276674
this granny asked to go to the forest. i said no, wheres her corpse or is she gonna show up in the ferry

>>717283587
I've become very fond of this outfit.

>>717283840
is centipede armor the best armor for the whole game?

>>717283587
gay

>>717283587
I like the uhhhh grey/white mage torso with the yingyang symbol at the back, but with something that prominently shows off her legs.
I think it's a nice compromise.

>>717281185
on that note, where the hell is the middle one for skyborn plume set? I must have missed it

>>717284075
Do the 5 starter disciplines (block, aerial bulwark etc) count towards the total? Or is it just unlocked disciplines that do?

>>717284127
idk i was using armor to increase frostbite resistance and just using transmog

>>717284237
Pretty sure that one is a benediction gate in Bo Capital

>>717284237
all the way at the end of the game

>>717283563
She has a gun?

>>717284237
I think it's in the final area of the game. Like literally nothing left kind of late. I was going to put it on my 2nd weapon, but then learned there are NG+ versions of everything and I can just have slot the old discipline set instead.

>>717284337
The starters count. It makes the 3 discipline dumb because you can literally never have fewer than 5.

I love this game but I'm only getting through bosses by consumable spam at this point. Can I just farm and get OP?

MAN
fuck this guy

Imperial Armor and Mad Doctor's mask is my favorite combination

>>717281185
i didnt understand that set at all

what does unlocked mean

just have a point in the node? obviousl yonly one thing can be equipped right

>>717283587
Aesthetically speaking, I'd imagine most people agree with that. It's just we like flesh more than clothes.

>>717282840
Pretty sure I was +7 when I fought her

>>717285574
Christ wtf
what level? i need 3 more brilliants to get to +6, then another node to +7 and who knows what the requirement for mats will be
and i feel like i've been p thorough, don't think i've missed any bosses or inner demons or elites or side areas or anything

>>717231298 (OP)
Oh boy. More overhyped chink garbage that'll be forgotten in a month for the next overhyped FotM chink garbage.

I've missed a Bamboozling somewhere and it's not the one hidden in the demon of obsession boss area. I sure as fuck hope it wasn't in chapter 1 haha

>>717284756
there are certain builds that can delete bosses, with free respecs thats probably the only way to be OP. you can't be OP by leveling your stats

>>717281173
Nice outfit, I'm waiting for more costumes myself

>>717233207
Yes, I believe so, though I haven't tried it.
>>717233528
Doesn't make it very clear.

>>717285947
You get more of the currency than you need thanks to the storyteller giving you a few, and the achievement is to kill 20 rather than find all of them, so early into Ng+ it will pop while killing repeats.

I also missed a single shrine on my first playthrough because I forgot to go back to where you fight honglan because there's nothing there anyway, and that achievement popped as soon as I triggered that shrine on Ng+.

>the best outfits are pre order only
Fuck

just made it to bride beudouinhoweveryouspell it, why the hell are these two NPCs here, they better not be a bitch to find

>>717286487
theres only two preorder outfits...

>>717285692
wait just found another, 1 more and i'm +6

Bros, when will the game become more interesting? I just killed the second boss and I'm going down to the caverns. Idk what's missing, but so far my only source of excitement is when I find new coomer gear. Locations are boring, enemies are boring and bonfires are so far away from each other (which may be a good thing for some, but imo it's just a slog).

>>717286797
SLURP LICK LICK LICK

3 days later. still can't beat the fucker in the snow over the bridge

>>717286920
Just wear high cold defense gear and parry him bro.
I know it sucks to change gear to deal with a boss, but this game 100% expects you to do so.

Alright, I just finished my 6th playthrough. Damn I hate how tanky the final boss is on NG+2.
I can confirm 100% though, that the only thing you need to do for the good ending is He Youzai and Fang Yao's quests. You do not need to answer the riddle door at all, nor fight the demon of obsession. Since both He Youzai and Fang Yao generally show up on the main path, the only things you need to do/not do are:
1) Avoid bricking questlines by going to Cloudspire first before Mt. Zhenwu
2) Actually start Fang Yao's quest. I think this is where most people go wrong, since it is missable and needs you to have gotten an item that is right by a shortcut earlier in that zone
3) Talk to Fang Yao first before He Youzai when you return to Reverent Temple. This is because she will give you the final item needed to finish his quest, otherwise he won't give you the item needed to get the good ending.
4) Don't give the chisel to the Taoist.

>>717277646

It's probably part of his armor which is RNG drop. Exact same thing happened to me I got knocked off trying to pick it up

>>717234930
I think Sekiro is harder and much better
I died in Wuchang mostly to bugs, ledges or stepping into a body of water

I wouldn't even compare it with Sekiro honestly, some enemy design are Sekiro, sure (like later on when enemies just keep slashing at you relentlessly) but Wuchang just threw everything from every soulslike in its game without having a clear design in mind.
Maybe the team was trying to fuse all of it into one game or everyone disagreed with something and we ended up with this

>>717252343
>wuchang didnt even need to be fantasy, they just doing re-depiction of what happened

>>717287276
Armor I don't pick up seems to find its way to the donation box. It's happened with two gold bandit armor items.

>>717287630
pure schizobabble the entire fight

How's the game guys? Can you give me a non-biased description of it? How does it compare to other souls games? Is it closer to sekiro, dark souls or nioh in gameplay? Is the coomer thing a plus or is it just bait? I passed on wukong and it looks like a cool game, don't want the same thing to happen again

I just you-know-what'ed into the Perfect Bride's boss fight without activating the elevator

Fuck you

Anyone had any success with elemental weapon builds? I tried to make use of the fire axe since that lets you apply burn & corruption with one weapon. But every elemental option I've tried seems inferior to just focusing on physical attack and things like the damage increased when you know X amount of discipline gems.

>>717287949
It's horrible original unbalanced garbage to pale in comparison to lies of p, The fans are literally brain dead retards

(lies of p has been casualized ever since they dropped denuvo so u need a physical offline version on your ps5)

>>717281173
NG+ is when the game gets fun actually, you have enough level ups to make a full build

>>717287949
I've played every mainline Souls game since DeS

+Good looping/shortcuts level design
+Good combat
+Some good areas
+Cool boss fights

-Weapons are a bit limited
-Status effects can be very obnoxious
-A couple of Indians seem to be in these threads constantly bitching
-Some bosses seem to have no windup/tell on certain abilities so you either get lucky or you cheese the fuck out of them

>>717287949
Got it due to coom bait, stayed for the exploration and dark setting. It's a lot closer to DS1 than ER.

>>717287035
you can also use clash or backstabbing, he is really predictable

>>717288150
I use elemental damage in certain situations, like setting trees on fire. I want to toy with paralysis at some point

This has not been going well.

Am I gonna have to torrent this shit to get the pre-order outfit? I'm playing on gamepass. I need. There are no good mods

Oops

>>717288351
>A couple of Indians seem to be in these threads constantly bitching
Why tho? I've seen a lot of people calling it a lies of P ripoff, I just don't see it

>It's a lot closer to DS1
That's nice, it's the 2nd game I played lots of years ago after DeS and it's my favorite one. Mainly due to nostalgia to be honest

It's a GamePass game if that makes any sense to you.
I don't really regret playing it but I wouldn't have bought it

>>717288351
>-Some bosses seem to have no windup/tell on certain abilities so you either get lucky or you cheese the fuck out of them
It does have that but the enemies run on crack so the windup/tell animations are really short.
You'll only see them when you're not close to them.

>>717288714
>>It's a lot closer to DS1

>>717288857
son I am disappoint

So I got to the shuzen temple or whatever, and I beat the priest. I can go downstairs into blighttown or go a little up the mountain into a bossfight with that weird bitch demon that fucks me up. I suppose blighttown is where I'm supposed to go?

Also I'm still just using longsword but the deflect annoys me. What weapons are god tier? I haven't looked anything up.

WHY

IS MY ROLL GET UP SO FUCKING SLOW SOMETIMES, LIKE LITERALLY IN SLOW MOTION
