By LabouredSubterfuge Go To PostMost interesting.
Ok so follow up question (don't worry I have many of these to keep you occupied) what does skill actually do?
I've seen it increases the R1 attack and it scales better with certain weapons. What else? Do I hit faster, move faster or dodge faster?
you skill faster.
It just increases your damage with Skill weapons, endurance is the one that can make you swing and dodge more.
i wouldn't put it past From if each talent had some hidden uses like making your farts smellier or something
Leveling is pretty bareboned compared to Dark Souls, which I don't mind as long as they focus more on refining the sweet combat engine
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostThere are two shortcuts that you can find that will make it quicker and cut out the snakes completely
Oh. Intradasting.
By nate Go To Post I think Cainhurst Castle is where I fail. Fuck these human spider cunts.
you're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underleveled loool. Leave it for way later, I think I went there before the last boss or something!
finish the woods and Byrgenwerth yo
Just a side point but this game is a techinical tragedy.
So much interesting and varied artwork utterly decimated by an appalling patched up graphics engine that chugs out poor quality graphics at a fucking awful frame rate with no frame pacing that has a direct impact on the quality of gameplay. And I'm not even going start on the chromatic aberration because fucking hell.
The much publicised poor loading times are every bit as bad as I'd heard too.
Also it would be nice to able to see if that glimmer in the distance is something important, an enemy moving or yet another fucking shader artifact.
Also some of the main character animations are very poor/unpolished for a AAA game.
There's so much that's good here that is lessened by the game engine. Git gud From Software/SCEJ.
You know, I still think it looks beautiful. I guess I'm not as sensitive to that stuff as some people.
Loading times weren't a bother either.

Me too! I was genuinely floored most of the time. I guess that's one of the perks of knowing fuck all about graphics/the technical side of things so we're easily impressed :p

if Nathan is still online tell him to get as far away from the C-Castle as possible loool
I hope he still not there getting mutilated by spiders
By Yurt Go To Postyou're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underleveled loool. Leave it for way later, I think I went there before the last boss or something!

Yeah fuck this. Gonna fight later lol
also fuck you laboured and your shit technical talk. Game looks gr8 and I love it
By Yurt Go To PostYES NATHAN
and pls halp deano. he's still fighting the poisonous flappy minge
Do you know what fucking annoys me about this game? I do an area and I look up a walk through to check I haven't missed anything and I see things about patches the fucking spider and he's somewhere and I'm very confused
just gonna do the woods and leave these awful spider cunts for later
Damn, just heard about the suspend mode boss glitch. It's entirely possible that I've benefited from this.
Gonna start closing the game out completely now for the full experience.

he gave you the stone ;) you'll be able to reach him later on in the story
Nate, those spiders are actually quite easy to take down in 3 hits, all you have to do is dash to their back and strike their hemorrhaged bollocks. One hit will stagger them completely and you can just go to town till you're all covered with their bollocks juice
but forget the spiders, the boss of this area will MURDER you
I'm on L51, left the castle for now. Still in the woods and having a lot of trouble with mutant tentacle men and giant snake things. Fuck
just fell into two of the giant snakes and they took 45k echoes from me. Fuck this life.

The whip actually shines here! And I missed it with my Strength character
try not get close to any mob there haha, they're all fucking lethal and poisonous. You can fuck them up with R2, just the tip of the whip is enough to push them back or stagger them sometimes
you don't have the spear yet?!? The range on that bitch will mess them up
Got one down to a third health, one to half health and one to two thirds. All of a sudden there's fucking snakes with ludicrous range. What

haha go back a many a page and you will se an almost identical post from me. I had them destroyed on my first go and then all of a sudden a giant snake game out of nowhere and destroyed me.
I think it is a matter of time. The next few times i never saw the giant snake and I was much quicker in dealing with them.
By nate Go To PostGot one down to a third health, one to half health and one to two thirds. All of a sudden there's fucking snakes with ludicrous range. What
Yeah that's phase three of the fight! That's why you gotta take them down one by one ASAP before you reach that snakes phase!
By Shanks D Zoro Go To Post Yurt, I am hating the agility build. I have made five serious attempts at defeating CB during this week and every time i get beat i just go back to my strength build CDs. I always get CB down to an inch of its life before I die:(((((
im better than shanks at ability
what a time to be alive
cheers guys, will give it another go later. Going through blood vials like mad lol

so you beat CB with agilty build without levelling up within six tries????
I ain't great, but I am not levelling up for this one
By Shanks D Zoro Go To Postso you beat CB with agilty build without levelling up within six tries????
I ain't great, but I am not levelling up for this one
Oh, I must have levelled up to 12/13 or so. Beat it on the fourth go with my whip.
By nate Go To PostOh, I must have levelled up to 12/13 or so. Beat it on the fourth go with my whip.
I want to beat the first two bosses without levelling up. The worst thing about not beating CB is that its attack animation is pretty easy to figure out, but of course I have to act like I am a strength build and mash it up every time i go in for an attack.
I really respect that you are going agility build your first play through.

My character is super stronk, so I just went in and ram jammed those fuckers. Took out the two pricks with weapons first, and then the dick who does the three fireballs was left. Thing is, if you get in close on him and just keep hitting him, he can't really do shit about it. And he can't call big snakes if you slap him around a bit while he tries.
I genuinely ended up doing Witches of Hemlock more than the shadows, though that was just because of the one which constantly binding me, and the minions pillaging my butt from there.

Are you using lock on? Target his legs until you bloody them up. He's pretty similar to Amelia kinda!
Yeah the first few bosses are hell for Skill but it' so worth it once you level up the whip and get the spear rifle and Blades! FUNNNN
By Lego Go To PostI first timed that boss, stun locked them to death with my blades.
Plural? Pls. Where.

Are you using the pungeant blood cocktails?
By LabouredSubterfuge Go To Post Yeah I don't feel like I'll be beating CB this century :/
Mate, that's exactly what I felt like. Trust me
By Hitch Go To Post Any word on the load-time patch? Guessing it'll take a while, since they must have spent a long time prerelease already trying to cut them down.
Even if it comes out, I doubt it'll make a lotta difference.
By LabouredSubterfuge Go To Post Yeah I don't feel like I'll be beating CB this century :/
He's optional!
But the real first boss is..well...you'll see

Where do i get these dual blades?
Also dean just beat BSB - summoned the NPC and another guy and still almost lost loooool. Made for sensational viewing.

Is there really that big a difference between skill and strength?
By Bungie Go To PostIs there really that big a difference between skill and strength?
its only governed by the weapons you can use isnt it?
By nate Go To Postits only governed by the weapons you can use isnt it?
It's all about the weapons.
This agility talk is confusing
Stats are nowhere near as granular as Dark Souls. All you're doing is changing attack speed no?

You buy them after you finish Eileen the Crow's quest. Or loot the item if she dies.
You might have missed it. You run into her in Central Yarnham.

Nah i met her and helped her with the hunter in Gazzaland.
In that case, you can continue her quest later in the story.
She died on my playthrough and I got the blades pretty early, lucky me. Shame I missed out on her quest though.
Nathan you'll get the Blades after you finish Byrgenwerth. I hope you have plenty of stones saved up to upgrade it!!!
she'll need your help one last time in the Grand Cathedral (my absolute favourite moment in the whole game)
edit: awww Lego, it's a shame you missed that last EPIC fight

I don't think I do, lol. My cane is +6, rifle spear +4. Might not want to use the blades anyway; love the cane.
Got the shadows of yharnam to beat still and then gonna give the castle another go
