Disagree, he is a predictable PvP type match up. Just know he gonna poise through most things, freeze pots, whiff punish, parry, jump attacks all valid. Rot and poison probably work but haven’t tried.
I using dual sleep swords and it only got him once.

Well, I suck at PvP! Finding the invader type mobs much MUCH more annoying than the mainline bosses. That fuckstick on the stairs before the fire/ice bitch was killing my ass for a solid hour. Dryleaf Dan too. The main boss got pwnt on second try... Think a bit of it is build and bit of it is I just am not great at the humanoid/PVP type mobs.

This expansion is fucking phenomenal. I'm loving it.

What do Scadutree Blessing and Reversed Spirit Ash Blessing do, respectively? The game never actually says what the difference is between them, and all you have to go by are the higher numbers on the status screen. At Scadu 3 and Revered 2, my attack power went from about 745 to 850. Not sure which did what.

Found an Ailment Talisman that boosts resistance to the last ailment that hit you. I'm gonna call it the Borg Talisman.

Not sure what you mean, the game literally tells you exactly what they do immediately when you get your first upgrade item for either one, and then again when you go into the grace site menu to use them to upgrade.

Scadutree is buffs to your personal defense and attack, Revered is buffs to Torrent and Spirit Ash defense and attack.

You need to be doing L1 jump attacks to get the multihits so that the whole thing works. Also, are you wearing Raptor's Black Feathers and White Mask ? For talismans, Claw, Rotten Wing, and Exultation are locked in. Ritual Sword is supposed to be the last one, but unless you've achieved Quoppp levels of gud-gitting it's probably not much use against bosses. Since you're on NG+3, you can use Millicent's Prosthesis (assuming you did her quest both ways on different playthroughs) and it will stack with Rotten Wing.

Don't have Rotten Wing, just regular Winged Talisman. Don't have RBF or WM either. I can make a list and get all that stuff on my up-and-coming file, since I'll be tabling the one I'm on sooner than later anyway.

Am I understanding right that Seppuku = attack power buff, and with Lord of Blood's Exhultation equipped, Seppuku also triggers that attack buff due to the blood loss, giving you a double attack buff from Sepp/LBE?

And yeah, people were right, nothing so far has given me as much grief as that first boss in the mausoleum who kicked my ass did.

It doesn't tell me what they do on the site of grace menu. It says they "empower blessing" but I don't know what that means.

It might have said what they do immediately when I got them and I scrolled through too fast out of excitement to start the DLC, that's certainly possible.

I'm noticing that bosses in the DLC like to have Spirit Ashes disabled for the fight, so no Mimic Tear. Seems to be indoor bosses that do this, not outdoor ones.

Rellana Took the most tries for me to get down out of what I faced so far. My friend rage quit over the hippo. Scaling for some of the bosses is way off when you co op particularly If your build is sent it around a status effect. Glad I am essentially a death mage build because i've had to switch Incantations in for a couple of the boss fights now. You can still clear all trash just fine with basic sorcerer tactics, But Casters are pretty much got screwed everywhere unless you are big on lightning centric. Dark moon, great sword is still the best PvE weapon but unless you're heavily relying on the stagger of the shot. They didn't really even need to nerve the comet.I'm it, and that's one because every single boss for the most part is hyperaggressive and shitting out massive ranged ae.

So far my opinion is that the level design is superb and the art design is incredible. But the bosses are definitely overturned especially if you are trying to Play with someone in co op. It's the usual from software DLC stuff where they completely hamstring some resistances and everything is way more hyperaggressive and melee unfriendly. And as stated the shards are the real progression. Poop man is really the only summon worth using.Because none of the other ones can survive long enough to matter. Don't summon or join randoms, because you don't know how many shards they have. So you could end up in a situation where even basic fights are completely unwinable In multi player. Get poop man, Get good, and strongly Consider working The death dagger weapon art along with malekeths spell or sword into your build. The things are way easier. With the way every single enemy has a ton of hip points things that dot based on percentage are really powerful. And it seems like almost nothing is immune to scarlet rot. Many of the early bosses are also standing in water, so Lightning spear and ancient dragon Lightning Storm are very powerful spells in those fights.

Levels feel much more like a mainline Souls game, and I think it's fantastic. Downed a ton of shit today, was hoping Rellana's LGS would be better than it is, but it's a touch awkward to use. I really don't want to play the entire xpac with Granpwn, but none of the weapons so far seem near as good. (Great Uchi might be, need to play more with it).

Been awhile since I've yelled at my TV.
