I mean Shrine of Amana is definitely not what it used to be if you played at release. I don't know the differences between scholar and patched OG. But I do know OG 1.00 release shrine of Amana was worse than anything else, maybe in the entire series. Their range was insane in addition to its' homing ability. --- https://m.twitch.tv/sorozone/profile ... Copied to Clipboard!

No joke i got off the couch, got a chair from the dining room, sat it directly in front of the tv, and was like aight fuck this
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/082e1c06.jpg Optimized my route to the boss, equipped every healing consumable i had, summoned two npcs, and managed to get everyone there to take on the three gankers. My original strat was to focus on the archer first, but my bros were getting killed too quick, so i worked with them kiting the enemies between us and backstabbing when possible My weapon started to break mid fight (i guess from destroying so many petrification statues on the way to the boss) so there i was again running around and fumbling through my inventory to get a repair powde But man eventually we got them with zero flasks to go Hell yeah --- Hey TomNook play me in smash for your account ...

Finally got him tonight! Took all my estus flasks and THREE weapons breaking, but i barely did it
And mannn, maybe its just dark souls iis lack of boss variety, but i really think sinh might be my favorite Fromsouls dragon fight. The way he just stays mobile both in the air and on the ground the entire battle, knocking over pillars, knocking down stalactites, charging in from the sky, etc. I perfectly rolled past so many fireballs, fire beams, tail swipes, etc in the last second, it just FELT GOOD Very dynamic and satisfying fight.

kevwaffles 04/03/24 8:33:24 AM #141: |
Personally I'd put Midir, Kalameet, and Sinh well above the others. Maybe Sinh above Kalameet.
Nameless King is an all time great but the dragon phase itself is merely fine. Good enough even to not make me hate fighting him repeatedly, but he can really just waste your time even by dragon standards.

I like brume tower so far tho. I like blowing up the barrel dudes to kill big swarms of enemies, and i like the fat dudes who self destruct. They tricked me and got me stuck in a corner and completely FUCKED me lmao. Its nice when the gameplay gets mixed up like that But also smelter demon again? Really?

Man Sir Alonne was HARD. Heres how it went down:
First i tried summoning two dudes to help, but i wasnt doing hardly any damage, because summoning makes the boss stronger, and also he was killing me so fast Then i tried solo, and i learned his pattern. He has a ton of end lag after his long katana thrusts, and he always thrusts left. So dodge right, and punish But hes also super fast, so i dont have much time to hit with my big ol knife. Tried two regular hits at first, but then i was like, wait, lets do 1 heavy hit. But then wait, screw that, im not using my shield in this fight anyway, so lets two-hand him. Actually lets just unequip the shield, and im not using magic in this fight, so lets unequip the wand, and now i dont need my load ring, so lets reorganize my rings Actually fuck it lets just respec completely. If i decide i need magic again, ill go back. Dropped int to 3, raised str to 60, got my agility to 105, googled his weakness which is lightning, equipped my gold pine resin and after like ten tries i fuckin beat him WHEWWWWW that was hard. But also really fun and rewarding. It was like constantly being in a high risk, high reward dance of giant katana vs giant meat cleaver lmao. The only thing that sucked was his attack where he grabs you with his katana, because even if you roll out of the way, it can just randomly lock on and suck you into it anyway But yeah. Might be tied for my #1 fav boss in the game with Sinh --- Hey TomNook play me in smash for your account ... Copied to Clipboard!

Been working my way through Eleum Loyce over the weekend. Its honestly excellent. Great level design, enemy design, and Aava was a really cool boss. These DLCs get better and better as they go. It really seems like Miyazaki was busy making Bloodborne, so he tasked the B team with DS2, and they improved little by little as time went on. I had a bunch of complaints about the main game, but the DLC is redeeming this game a lot
Made it to Burnt Ivory King, and actually managed to summon a guy named Piccolo69, but we got stomped by endless respawning enemies, and afterwards he sent me a friend request and a message saying dude get the loyce knights and i was like lol aight i didnt even know, but im goin now. Come to find out now the entire area has opened up even more, and exploring it a second time is like a brand new experience. Its just great --- Hey TomNook play me in smash for your account ...
