I did it. I'd rather kill myself than look around using a controller.

that's kind of my angle too. it's more enjoyable to take in an open world with a mouse to look around.

They're pretty cake with a shield, or just git gud? idk

I Feel like they pack a lot of them into tight spaces.

I dont think anyone knows exactly what the stats do. Especially the Arcane stat.

Thanks Obama Software

Arcane seems too only effect item discovery(Luck basically), and some resistance stats also *shrug*

But no one has any idea what it does under the hood, cause ya Thanks little shits, who think it's cool too hack the game so they can stomp on everyone..

Singing harpies you just gotta be super aggressive on them. I only died to them once when I realize that if I let them do shit they spray poison, cast stupid fucking spells and otherwise kill you. But if you rush up and smack them you can usually break their poise quickly.

Their singing is cool though you were right.

The magma wyrm boss up there... something is fucked up with it. You legitimately cannot hit the thing when its in certain animations. I died to it because of that then tried again just running around like a bitch hiding behind pillars.

I legitimately just did this, didnt get a hint either, just used my stonesward key figuring it was a random mine dungeon.

I DID one-shot the wyrm in there, just barely, got caught in a flame pile and had to use 2 flasks twice,m killed him with 1 left.

I did get enough mats to go from +11 to +16 though, so hopefully I do a decent amount of extra damage. Practicing parrying on those aggressive Atlus monsters with the axe or swords. I have the axe ones down good but the timing on the sword ones suck, too much feinting.

Forgot to post this yesterday, talk about glitching in my favor, hahaha

Radahn area locations

There is apparently a catacombs at the very north end of the desert. Found it by using one of the statues up near Millicent’s church. I’m astounded just how much crap they’ve jammed into this game. I did not expect much at the top of this area above Sellia.

How did you use the statue?

Rajaah said:

Yep. I took out all the Erdtree Avatars and they dropped components for the Physick. No seeds or anything for the normal flask, which is still pretty underpowered at +5. If nothing else I'll get a new set of seeds/tears in NG+ to use.

The Physick is really good in and of itself as well. I've got it set to Heal Half HP + Add Regen. Too bad there's no way to increase it past 1 charge...or maybe there is and I totally missed it.

Heal instead of dying is the best one, the rest is gravy. I usually go max HP or easier stagger.

Immediately after blocking with L1 use R2. You'll see a strike with like, wind around it when you swing.

If you want to rely on it you need to be using a 100% physical defense shield otherwise dodge is just better.

You can also use the shield ash if u dont have a 100pct defense

Don't miss the Sellia Hideaway Dungeon hidden behind a rock in the wall behind the beefy ass mage

How is mouse and keyboard gameplay?

Click to expand...

This is probably weird to most people, but I'm using a hybrid of both. I find the keyboard/mouse easier to go through my inventory and such, but use the controller for combat. One of the main reasons I switched was because the Sword of Night and Flame is fucked with a mouse, as the flame and magic attack are both bound to the same controls. I tried to fuck around with the key binds, but it's just a million times easier just being able to hold in L2, and then just hit R1 or R2 to use either the magic or the flame. It took some getting used to, but I actually prefer the controller now for most of the game.

Also, huge props to Steam for allowing the Nintendo Switch Pro controller to be functional with their games! I didn't even know you could do that until the other day. Saved me from having to purchase an Xbox controller (and I actually prefer the Switch Pro controller anyway, so win/win).

You need arcane for some of the breath spells, not sure if it scales them.

It also raises occult wep damage and scales some of the seals and maybe a staff.
