Ai Limit

So be honest, how many of you actually tried eating mud?

God, I hate the soulslop formula so fucking much.
All of the "difficulty" just comes from wasting the player's time.

trying to web search, unaware its being posted to Anon Babble instead

How to unlock bunny costume ai limit

Yay I did it! Her second phase was pretty tough

Congrats!
It's found in a vending machine in the Sunken City.

And you will never have to fight her again, ever.
Probably.

What's the weapon enhancement limit anyway? 9?

The limit is "max enhancement" It's +10

Whew, 100%ing this game is gonna take a while then.

10
You need 12 carbons, 12 diamons, 12 silica and 1 GIGAMATERIAL to fully upgrade a weapon.

Do some of their appearances change at +10? The description of the pickaxe and rusty pipe seems suspect.

Don't think so.

Her second phase

Anon i...

That's really sad.

They stay exactly the same.
Description is just flavor text

bunny hat + raincoat

The canon look.

Akschually, the canon outfit is the ugly Blader armor

This Is The Canon Look . . . Her OG I May Say

meganefags are mentally ill

So what’s your favorite/strongest weapon anons
I’ve been using the corrupted greatsword the entire game because the weapon art pancakes everyone and am about to start NG+ for the other weapon from what’s-her-tits because I didn’t know it was the ONLY spirit weapon in the whole fucking game.

if you don't replace the original hair, you are playing the game wrong

I have found her canon weapon!

file.png - 638x776, 774.56K

scrap lance for my entire first playthrough, then red deer because i like the moveset, arbiterfags need not reply

either Ursula weapon really

100% as getting every unique weapon to +10?
Don't worry mate, you only need like 6 and 3/4 playthroughs for that.
Or CheatEngine.

Pipe is soul, but Wilted Foliage L2 is fun

The get-over-here is also really neat, especially against multiple mobs in a room.

Holy Ritual

Is this game like Code Vein? I'm on the fence of getting it, the gameplay videos I saw make the combat look more basic but I like the sync meter.

Arbiter, my beloved

No it really isn't despite some cosmetic superficial similarities.

It actually plays closer to Valkyria Chronicles
Or Bloodborne without Stamina but a Wo Long sync bar

no, the chinks actually put effort into the animations for this one. unlike the god eater devs.

Road Sign
forget about fancy arts, you just beat everything to a pulp with R1 spam and occasional charged R2
true caveman choice

Liking the Holy Embrace claws at the moment. Was previously using Corrupted Blader Swords, but the Pierce (i.e., bleed) wasn't proccing enough for my taste. I've put enough into Spirit and Technique that they do some hefty damage thanks to their good scaling.

*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

eating mud

Drinking pure cocoa, no milk sugar and other additives, is indeed like eating mud.

It is WAY better than code vein, just has a similar art style. As others said the combat feels a lot more like bloodborne because of the sync meter and the way you have to spend it for special moves and spells (including parry), lose it when you take damage, and can only restore it by dealing damage. Unlimited stamina feels a little too easy at times because we conditioned at this point to think we need to stop attacking or dodging to recover, but it works. The game has enough difficulty to keep you engaged but it’s not really that challenging, at least as long as you are willing to parry. Also you may hear people saying it’s very short, I did not get that impression at all I feel like the length is about right. Nothing really overstays its welcome and despite being very linear there is still exploration enough to keep you interested.
A lot of people, including myself, would be a lot more critical of the game if it cost $60 but at $35 it’s pretty great.

After procrastinating last couple of days I'll do another playthrough, this time as mud wizard.
Thanks anon It's my favorite outfit and it looks pretty good with what I hope is spirit scaling sword.
Is it the one found in the vicinity of big flying church murderbot with some fairy wings bullshit effect?

I've been using the Pardoner since I got it (pronounced like partner)

Canon outfiit is the corrupted blader armor with long white hair and visor

Yes

Is that a what?

It is spirit calling sword, indeed.
If you're talking about the one in Upper Level of Hagios Patir where you can get there from a portal from Sunken City Overground then yes.

faith cross.gif - 600x500, 1.55M

Nice.

Similarity is only skin deep.
AI Limit has much better exploration and area design.
Branching areas, branching paths inside areas.
You can get lost if you don't pay attention, and people do.
If meticulous exploration is you thing go for it.
Assuming you're no stranger to souls-likes it's not really that challenging but there are bosses that will kick your ass.
Not everything is better though.
There's no character creator.
Music sets the mood and complements the atmosphere but can't really compare to CV's imo.
Soundtrack was released few days ago so check for yourself.
Story and companions aren't in the forefront like in CV.
There's are NPCs you can interact with and they do have questlines but AIL is less story heavy.

lit me.

No character creator

Why is this a negative? The player character is the autistic Arrisa and seeing her develop her empathy and understanding of the world around her through the game.

Yeah, but can AI Limit do this?

naptime2.webm - 1280x720, 3.6M

People looking for anime but souls probably want to make their own kawaiiii ugyuu waifu?

The strongest is either a scrap lance or corrupted greatsword. Corrupted greatsword ass fucks the entire game, there's nothing coming even remotely close. Scrap lance has a stinger expy as a weapon art.

She's such a non character even in the endgame you could easily replace her with a blank slate.

that buttcape clipping

Man...
Also, would it really kill them to disable head accessories when using veils with hoods to prevent clipping?

Would they be satisfied if the character creator was limited to female characters? Because again, the story established that bladers are all female.

Beat first robot dude and the game feels alright so far. I was worried to begin with that horrible roll animation but thankfully the game is bloodborne-pilled with it's dodges when locked on.

What is the FPS cap? The highest I've seen it go was around 245fps. Strange that it lets you cap it but only 30 or 60 and no 120, 144, and beyond.

Weird Dog.webm - 1920x1088, 3.91M

it's ai limit (soulslike) not "ai kanojo"

Probably, because all the hairy chest beefcake loving ones are plying Khazan.

There's no reason for this to be a plot point either. They could easily make them both genders. In fact the story would only win if there was some cool blader dude around instead of that seething hunter bitch.

clipping

Tbf, AI Limit has some terrible clipping as well.
As do most games if you go look for it.

cameltoe

Now you’re just telling the game devs to change their story plot per your standards even more. Just accept that Arrisa the autistic mud doll girl is your player character and deal with it.

plot is about ai trying to find a way to evolve further

only creates female bladers for some reason

They poorly understood their own story

Yeah, didn't want to imply it didn't. Most immediately noticeable one is both weapons on the back.
Hopefully one day technology will advance enough to eliminate or at least somewhat mitigate this problem.

I mean all their premises for figuring out evolving further were hopelessly flawed.

There's no reason for this to be a plot point either

There is, Charon is female, so she made all her creations women as well, plus girls are better at the whole emotions thing. On the practical side one woman is worth a thousand men if you want your civ to prosper.

I was too busy looking at her lickable navel

That knife built into Ursulas clothes keeps doing it.
The tails of her cloak pretty reliable clip into her legs when walking into the Aether fight
Maybe one day...

I want to play as a girl in Witcher 2, they could easily have included a character creator!

Canon outfiit is the corrupted blader armor

Based

with long white hair and visor

Unbased. There's no reason to cover up her cute face or change her wonderful short hair

Of course not, don’t be silly. The problem would then become “why can I only make a cute girl I want a giant muscle mommy” then full on trannyfaggot “just let me make whatever I want and call it a girl” then finally “but I’m not a girl anymore I’m a whatever the game needs to let me customize my pronouns”
That’s what character creator autists do. Best to simply not engage with them at all.

charged heavy attacks in all soulslikes are only useful against downed enemies waking up, why add them
never found a use for regular heavy attacks in this game either

plus girls are better at the whole emotions thing

Not really, both sexes provide interesting emotional experiences.

Also the doctor’s experiments with finding embryos made of mud in bladers and that bladers can have human children.

Bros is this a boss room?

Women are not welcome here, please fuck off back to where you came from.

I am 1 hour in and still no panty shots. Close to uninstalling.

No, it's just a wide hallway.
Checkpoint is there so you don't have to do the jumping puzzle again.

That's only because, let's face it, the game's combat is designed like shit. They took DS3 tier r2 speeds (the game where they were the worst) in particular which makes the vast majority of r2s completely pointless compared to R1 spam. If they used Bloodborne for balancing purposes, they would be way better.

That’s not really an experiment. That was a one off because of Ursula. And it infuriated him that despite everything he could study, Shirley was really absolutely a normal human being.

looks like one.have you never played a soulslike game before?

I think your slippery slope fallussy is fucking retarded but I'm really tired of blank slate protagonist, Arrisa being her own distinctive character while not being too talkative or obnoxious, is really good and you could say it's almost a lost art

Long hair is feminine, and Arrisa is a feminine girl and a future mother

look at me I'm a big macho man I don't show my emotions

You have to be over 18 to post here

Unequip armor and start licking the screen coomer-kun.

Good thing i'm a dude who wants to play as cool action heroes
Girls are not cool

but you can dodge attacks with them?

Holy shit it worked. Time to goon.

Cause the embryo was normal, Ursula was still a mud robot, despite getting pregnant

Oh ok thanks bro
No it's my first one

They feel good, how low vibration do you have to be to be content with only using R1?

Also, LoP and CV got charged attacks right, Khazan as well. I haven't played AL enough yet to see how they fair in this game overall.

Based

Experiment was the wrong word, yeah. The point is they created them with the possibility of reproduction for a reason, male bladers wouldn’t provide nearly the same evolutionary control and possibility.

the embryo was normal

But was it? Maybe his equipment was just shit.

What FPS are you all getting?

What was your webm of finishing off a miniboss supposed to show me? That this r2 is actually useful for anything but getting a lucky duck under attack? Puhlease.

Men and women have fundamentally different emotions, pretending they’re the same or even comparable is just wrong. The emotional part of the story the game is trying to tell is not a masculine one.

that the r2s aren't useless since the hitboxes are so good you can reliably dodge under/over attacks? just admit you were wrong retard :)

60 in the menu, 30 in game. lowest settings. which is fucked up i'm pretty sure i have more in elden slop

Playing on an abomination of a build from 2018, solid 60 fps on medium except for boss rush area, that place had noticeable slowdowns.

file.png - 485x194, 14.25K

charged heavy attacks in all soulslikes are only useful against downed enemies waking up,

Wrong.
Used greatsword charged heavy on Ursula every time she got into parry stance for example.
Basically 2 free heavy hits and one follow up light one.
Unless you're of slow mind and slower reflexes you can find many more chances like:
boss freezes from getting staggered
boss charges up a beam attack that fires for several seconds while you slip to his side or back charging your R2 - worked both for Persephone and Cleansing Knight
it's perfectly usable as opener against larger mobs that rush you, allowing you to make quick work of them since the stagger is guaranteed
this was from the top of my head

My AMD thing tells me I average at 204

30

That’s the moveset itself you dumbass, and I still don’t see you charging it which was his whole point.

Is this game better than God Eater?

like 100-120fps with an R9 5900X and a 6800XT

this game is better than anything fromsoft has made since dark souls 3

Quite literally 90% of video games are better than god eater

second 14, why are you pretending to be this retarded? ego so fragile can't move on when you're wrong?

I probably consume small amounts of it every day because I don't peel my carrots or parsley roots before slicing and cooking them. I wash those vegetables, but it doesn't get rid of every last bit of dirt.

Your previous webm only occurred because you lucked out and forced a miniboss to step on rocks, thus elevating his position.
In both cases you got lucky, as evident by the fact you have barely any heals left.

So the doc's machines were totally busted right?
Because Shirley is absolutely not just a regular Human.

he steps on the rock after dying? what the fuck is wrong with you

girl literally dying and giving Arrisa her last wish

she still... talks... like this...

man having a borderline mental breakdown

still... talks... like this?

What were the devs wthinking with this MC?

He's standing on an elevated area during his last attack. I'm not sure you would get hit by that diagonal attack even if you stood perfectly still.
Either way, that r2 is garbage, or you wouldn't be out of heals against one of the easiest bosses in the game.

They aren't even the same genre

She WAS normal at least. Doctor never got to see her snap and blader power of consciousness recognition awakening.

They were thinking something like this.

Cute!

That AMD thing isn't very accurate is the problem, because according to that I am getting 457fps which is redic but I have my fps capped to 260 (my monitor's refresh rate).

I just use the Steam overlay fps counter and it's telling me like 190-240 depending.

lol.png - 964x499, 76.44K

*because I have my fps capped

beat persephone

wow that was easy

oh shit second phase fuck fuck fuck

it's easier than the first

Why are all the cool looking bosses such pushovers?

She is learning.
They simply don't do enough damage.

The emotional part of the story the game is trying to tell is not a masculine one.

The story is literally about murdering everything until you make your way to gods and tell them to fuck off, there's nothing feminine about it.

And Arrisa ultimately did that out of empathy for the humans’ suffering.

Which is not a feminine emotion but just general human empathy. Your entire argument is retarded.

stop holding back and just go unga bunga with piercing claw

the entire game collapses on its own ass

Men having empathy?
What a bunch of sissy pussies.
I bet this Kazon guy doesn't have it.

Never played Khazan, but Carlo/P from LoP has tons of empathy despite being a silent protagonist, and he progressively gains more humanity the longer story goes.

Beat persephone

See that NPC in the crystal

Instead of killing her I went to a branch just to recharge myself to kill her with mininum pain

she disappeared and now there is a necro next to branch

Have I just fucked up her questline?

Sex retard.png - 364x494, 155.77K

That’s the end of the questline and yes you’re an asshole.

She specifically asks you to kill her so she doesn't turn into a necro.
You're a very cruel mud sack.

Well you killed her you monster, but that was an end of her questline anyway.

She told you she had her ass handed to her by Big Persy, flattered you for defeating the boss and then asked you to kill her since she was infected and used the crystals to slow the infection down.
She also said she'll respawn 'far north' so you won't meet for a while.
If you did kill her, she thanked you.

I THOUGHT SHE WOULD TURN IF I WENT FURTHER UP AHEAD NOT SIT AT THE BRANCH NEXT TO HER I AM SORRY

Elfnein cry.png - 1920x1080, 1.49M

Did anybody else start getting huge framedrops near the final area where you get the boss gauntlet? Game worked fine for me everywhere but I had absolute garbage fps there even after I lowered by settings

let me just rest and have a picnic while you are slowly turning into a murder zombie

You did not think at all.

They also need more health.

Yes.

So is withered forest a dead end until you come back later? Theres a whole section I cant access and every guide online says theres a boss fight here but will not tell you how to actually find it.

Pretty much all of the area, including the boss, are available on first visit.

I felt persephone had too much health honestly, maybe that was just cause I didn't use parries against her

You have to find a ladder to climb up their treehouses.

bnuy

It is a dead end but you can fight the boss.
The dead end part is inner room of Arboretum.
Outer area is accessible.

Reminder: I you used magic you're a bitch and didn't beat the game

You can't really parry Persephone.
Well, you can, but you do not get a riposte out of it.

My PC is about as good as yours, wonder why that area specifically is fucked

Beam + EX-Railgun feels too good.

1 ozempic pill for every spell you've cast

Probably lots of fog and other effects in the background.

I had a brain fart(totally not excusing my retardness)

Without magic this game is too dull

Best Nucleus to equip? I've been using the Clergy's Nucleus since I got it

I will continue to countersnipe annoying shit ranged enemies without remorse, thank you very much.

I used a strenght build till Loskid

I must be blinding a single ladder squirelled away in the middle of nowhere because I've scoured this area for hours and can't find a way up. Even tried cross the big bridge via it's wires but no go.

Persephone's

I can't think of any other game that has actual missiles as a spell. I would be a faggot if I didn't use those.

I only use da lazor to draw attention and get rid of the flying motherfuckers, they deserve no honor nor sympathy.

At the bonfire next to the vending machine, head to the right of the vending machine.

Final fantasy 7's enemy attack materia

Thats where the big bridge and a isolated chunk of area that leads to the corrupted blader is, but I have no idea how to access the treehouses shown here.

file.jpg - 2560x1440, 465.04K

I'll be back after getting some lunch.

My nigga. I've been only using the missiles since I got them

That's the part leading to cave with snails.
There's an area with monument and two big necros with fire attacks.
If you run around them, one of the paths lead to a branch, from that branch there a small wooden path that will lead you where you need go - there's a red ladder you need to kick down and a zipline that takes you right to boss arena.
The red ladder is a shortcut - you can see if from branch near wending machine.

Quickly ran through the area to screenshot it, hope this helps

file.jpg - 1920x2160, 1.04M

oh my god I big blinded the geometry here good lord it didn't even look like a path at all that helped.

and a isolated chunk of area that leads to the corrupted blader

There's a second path you explorelet

holy shit why is the forest so cancerous, I actually hate this place, truly dark souls inspired game with huge fucking poison swamp and angel looking things trying to fuck you over.

the game is easy calm the fuck up

oh no frustration i hate the game baad bad why you doing this to me im will leaving a negative score and hanged myself today

I found this poison swamp and later poison cave to be pretty inoffensive overall. But fuck those piercing aura cunts, yeah.

Fuck me, this game really is everything bad about dark souls put together.

enemies can attack through walls

one of the worst camera systems i've seen in a long time

most enemies have long windup attacks that turns parrying into a trial and error fest

can't even recover your lost souls

You seem more frustrated about me being frustrated than I am frustrated about the game kek
I can't figure out negros move sets yet, also they hit like trucks.

Why are you getting all pissy over the slightest criticism?

Oh yeah and I almost forgot about

not all attacks are parryable

which ones are?

who knows lol, they sure as hell aren't going to give you an indicator

enemies can attack through walls

So can you

This is the easiest Souls-like and you can parry almost everything.

Only place I noticed a frame drop for some reason was Ursula’s phase 2 cutscene.

So can you

Unfortunately, I cannot see enemies through walls, while they can see me.

skill issue

I hope you beat the game with the unupgraded starting weapon, because otherwise that means that you didn't beat the game.

im dieded and cannot recoverred my sovls and dont realized that if i re-kill 3 more bad guys that i'm will have surplus sovls because i'm big bad crybabby borned from orangutan

womp fucking womp

Oh, here's another fun one!

can't hit certain enemies without locking unto them

It's really not going to affect you unless you're hiding behind a pillar.

Oh no you triggered the shills

You can headcanon that you just want to find a way to turn her back..

I've had several enemies attack me through a wall while I was using the camera to check if there were any behind it.
I have since learned to just sprint through everything and hope whatever lies behind doesn't kill me first.

one of the worst camera systems i've seen in a long time

???
First time ever I see anyone complain about the camera in AIL
Care to explain?

Which ones? I never had this issue.
Are you talking about the enemies hiding behind doors in the beginning? They don't attack until they aggro, and they only aggro if you get really close if you're not within line of sight.

yeah camera is pretty wonky, I just fought an enemy while half of my cam was covered by some rag lol

>can't even recover your lost souls

What a weird thing to complain about. I thought losing 20-30% of them depending on nucleus is a nice twist on the formula. And you can also buy trading goods to resell later at a 1:1 ratio if you're not sure where to spend them immediately.

I cannot see enemies through walls

Unless you have a complete lack of spatial awareness, you should know where they are.
Shit doesn't aggro without line-of-sight. You can't handle camera, so maybe that's related?

herp derp

Game gives you ton of iframes on dodges and parry frames are super generous as well.
If you can't handle it, it's clearly a you problem

muh souls

It's clearly stated how things are handled, you not getting this is either a skill issue (reading comprehension) or baby duck syndrome

If you’re worried about crystals loss on death, turn it all into goods before you go into dangerous areas / after bosses. Also use a nucleus with a large retain value and you’ll only lose 5-15% of your saved held crystals.

first days

hey level design is cool, game is a bit overall easy though

Visit the threads now

someone is being obviously butthurt about being rolled over, every time

What happened

What happened

Anon Babble

the orangutan family got access to the game, that's the problem

It doesn't follow your general direction; you have to manually adjust it every time you make a turn.
Having to let go of the sprint button to constantly adjust it gets very annoying.

Never had a problem with camera but I hope the Devs fix the issue in their next patch.
None of these issues are gamebreaking or maybe
It's happening to you cuz you pirated it.

anon "bought" the game from the wrong fitgirl site.

you have people claiming the level design is the same as LoP now lmao

It's happening to you cuz you pirated it.

Now that would be very funny.

Not sure why all the fanboys are getting their panties in a twist over someone complaining though.
I never said I wasn't enjoying the game not that it isn't decent.

Because your complaints are retarded.

Doesn't know how to sprint in a Souls game

not

nor*

Having to let go of the sprint button to constantly adjust it gets very annoying.

Sorry to say this cheesy line but 'You're holding it wrong' (TM owned by Apple)
I have thumb on my right stick and index finger switching between sprinting and R1.
Never even occurred to me there's something wrong with camera.

this is why pirating clean steam files >>Repack.
I hope you know a proper site for that atleast.

still sore from being raped in the last thread

this game really is everything bad about dark souls put together.

That's a pretty damning statement, anon.

I am not going to give my right hand retardation just to play the game.

Or if really necessary thumb - stick, index sprint, middle light attack

middle finger on W

pinkie on LShift

adjust camera with mouse

???

But it's true.
All (most) of the bad parts are in there.
Was Dark Souls a bad game because of its bad parts? Not really, it had more than enough good parts to balance it out.

bosses in this game are easier than a path to them.

people

It's one delusional faggot making shit up.
Pretty easy to spot too.

now that's a real souls game which from forgot how to make

I guess you've tried your best..

Progress is the other way from the Branch where you first meet Goat

Speak to Vikas and you're done there assuming you got respec from Arboretum and dew upgrade from snail cave.
Continue through city.

where?Didn't get the notification.

Its a side area. You need to find a greenhouse and kill those 4/finish Vikas quest, then fuck off back to last zone and continue.

Oh, so it's a dead end? Fugg

restsrt steam

There is also a bridge that's broken in the middle

You can make that jump or just go around to murder an entire snail family

It’s a side path purely for Vikas + respec + dew upgrade. Well also one of the best strength weapons too.

LIAR

IT'S OVER THEY NERFED EVERYTHING FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK

I didn't get anything btw, I spoke to Vikas after those 4 he started ranting about shit and then told me forget about it and fuck off.

Its fine, he is like that sometimes.

restart again......

Boss is doing a spergout you need to wait out before getting a turn

Dark Souls died after the first one becoming a fucking turn based RPG with a quick time event on the enemy turn and no one seems to be copying the actually fun formula.

it's so over because the normies can't be prone to being exposed to frustration, EVER

I just remembered before you posted kek, I think she is at upper levels right now, last time I spoke to her she acquired that pet negros

Since retardation seems to be running theme of this thread I'll pitch in:
Decided to do a mud wizard run.
Only level up SPIRIT from the beginning despite no weapon that scales with it yet.
Railgun hits pretty hard but the Blader Longsword feels really underwhelming compared to previous runs I did with greatswords.
After a long fight with Bandit boss, I check the sword and realize I didn't upgrade it even once despite having enough for +3, only missing one diamond for +4

If you are at final boss then none of the nerfs should affect you.

I think I crossed the Hagios Patir bridge because of the bug. I didn't beat the game...

It's nyover...

it's so over

Good.
Now make sure you speak to her before you got through big church teleport after boss fight with Saint.
She's a bit easy to miss in previous area.

lets make a piss easy baby mode game even easier

You will never beat the REAL fight

found respec, I guess I can't get inside the greenhouse yet?
Alright, I'll try to keep that in mind.

they only nerfed one boss though and even the epic souls vets complained about the enemies in some zones

Can I trust developers with making it a consistent mechanic rather than "sowwy... none of the enemies that matter can be parried".

finally get through tough mob of enemies

get rewarded with an even tougher fight that near-instantly killed me

have to do it all over again

You can parry the two hardest bosses to death if you know the timing.
You can parry almost everything, really.

But all the enemies that matter can be parried.

worded poorly but that's what I meant

speak to her before you got through big church teleport THAT IS LOCATED after boss fight with Saint.

Yeah its a usual situation where game hints you about something having a different path so you'd have a reasons to look for it eventually. This one is quite far into the game though.

How many times did you try that before nailing it? Be honest

You cannot be fucking serious, "parry destroys the game" was a thread consensus for week. Only few bosses/phasses are a bitch to parry and you surely arent complaining about them.

Seems the subhumans found the thread. Was nice while it lasted, I'm out.

why is Arrisa so autistic...

IS

IS THAT SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T THINK THE GAME IS A FLAWLESS 10/10?????

AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You did defeat the Choirmaster before he got nerfed, right Mudbros?

Honestly the enemies/bosses are Souls-tier aka not really that difficult, why the whining of the game being easy/too hard?

After finishing the game i can confidently say that piercing claw is stronger than parry.

did the ai generate those enemy movesets as well
they're fucknig retarded and unintuitive
i'll give it a pass because you have infinite stamina and it doesn't have fromsoft's legacy of grounded realistic movement, but this trial and error and delayed attacks going into an epileptic frenzy shit is not fun

Not all of us have a combined 20k hours in soulslop, anon.

Well she was created as a blader, lived as a blader for who knows how long, became lost and got reformatted into being a guardian which meant she got turned into a automatic defense program, then got reformatted again into being a blader. She’s been through a lot.

yeah, 4 times, 8 actually since he's reused in 3 bosses gauntlet later

I have like 10 hours in DS3 and BB, 5 in Elden Ring

Sex with Arrisa

Yeah even vocabulary checks out. Guess khazanbros cant contain it anymore.

While I seethe about negroes too, but they are supposed to be that way. They are uncanny monsters, all human enemies are easy as fuck, but even 1 negroes will bring me a bunch of trouble.

Pretty sure you fight him three times in one playthrough don’t you? Boss of Lower Church, once as an elite enemy in Upper Church, then as a gauntlet boss at end or Upper Church.

bladers are technically immortal

barely any of them survived a century, almost all went mad, making their actual lifspan lesser than Stone's

AI fucking off most likely means the tree system becomes unusable so the remaining ones have one life left

I kind of wrote both off as the different ways of "skipping" trough the game so I can see it.
Yes.

I mean, we can kind of assume the stuff they left behind will keep working but who knows. Aether is the only one that specifically mentioned shutting everything down. I feel like Charon wouldn’t have turned off the tree and Nyx probably left the Necros running for shits and giggles.,

waves his flag like a total basedboy cuck orangutan family 17th stepbrother

Mostly Road Sign, tho I want to swap to Impact Drill because it has a cooler moveset. Never found the recipe for the first set of upgrade materials, though.

Unless what Charon took from us was Asteria backup - there is a really high chance Asteria is the "new" blader-mommy and tree manager, as she does not have to hide inside Arissa anymore.

I haven't seen a single thing that indicated Asteria could return. AIs specifically tell they won't maintain the infrastructure and since they are cunts, i think they will just shut everything down
So take care of the blader girls, they are still retarded and no longer invulnerable.

First trader document is before you take the zipline and find Millaire in the mansion ground floor area. There are some tram cars you need to get into.

but now i have technically not beat the game.i crossed the deadline

Loskid managed a century without dying so we should be okay. I think. Shirley’s consciousness linking might be able to wake up the guardians too.

She is literally "alive" inside us though. Unless she actually predicted..
Fight with Charon
That she would use a timefreeze
That there would be cryostasis squares
And pre-precorded her boss tip.
Her sudden appearance in that fight kind of implied she tricked everyone by pretending to be dead, and that her appearance is just memories (remember how Milliare said there are is no Asteria memory near the door?) and was talking to Arissa directly from her mud brain I guess.

lorefag thread

nobody cares about that shit. go back, you fromsoft niggers

plunging attacks bypassing death planes got fixed

sad

I think that's the one I found so far and it only unlocks the second tier upgrade materials.

Is this true

0
Not my webm

It's literally about making sure remaining blader girls stay in the kitchen instead of doing anything dangerous

I knew about that "mechanic" but was that ever useful or even let us know anything?

The one that gives second tier materials is in Sewer Town area before Hunter fight. Last one is in Living Pond.

kitchen

Cooking what, salty mud balls?

It was fun

Dealt with snails, I guess you can't really parry them and the only choice is to wait?

You can pierce them too.

DELETE THIS

Just parry their roll attack

Kek they nerfed choir guy can't believe people were having trouble with the guy

I tried.

Well, in one of my boss rush runs, he ended up doing nothing but teleport away, teleport in for AoE, teleport away,...
Was kinda annoying because I wanted to do a flashy weapon art finsiher

I feel like AI limit has a lot of "what the fuck is even happening" bosses that makes inexperienced people panic and that makes said bosses feel harder than they are. As in people literally throw because they are visually overwhelmed.

try harder

You just described all my Aether fights. I know its a gimmick fight but come on stop teleporting, you are not even difficult.
Actually has anyone ever died to him?

That's literally it. I either die after getting hit once and losing my tempo or I flawlessly finish the boss, no in-between.

You get used to them

I died several times, even to the glowies in the first phase.
Getting domed by a t-posing cunt from off screen sucks

I fought him at ~15 Life and got one shot several times.

my main problem is that I don't count my "poise" I try to trade hits and then "oh fuck" happens where they flurry me with attacks while I mash parry and nothing happens, just died like that lmao

Good. Rope all platforming devs

Actually has anyone ever died to him?

Couple of times during base level run.
He hits really hard if you don't have 1500HP

Challenge runs does not count.
But yeah I guess he can choke-streak you to death with low HP.

how are you supposed to know to return to the train station to progress after talking to the the lady in the tree and returning to sewer town? i had to look up a guide, but im just curious how you're supposed to know

It wasn't a challenge run, I just never felt the need to level up HP until NG+...

Wait, why are you supposed to do that, exactly?

So what's up with the cloaked figure in the cemetery? She kills me in 0.1 seconds.
Am I supposed to come back later?

The positive thing was that both his and Charon's fights were pretty exciting when you couldn't just heal through everything with 10 max dews, loads of mud balls and eucharists.

The fact that it's a giant ass hole should've tipped you off that it might be an optional area.

Also, his grab thing can be a bitch to avoid if you aren't aware it's coming and keep your distance

The corrupted Blader?
You're supposed to "fix her" with violence and then use her sword.

I guess "game is too hard" posts are even wilder for you then huh. But again I am statsfag, figuring a way to bruteforce my way trough any game is kinky shit I am into.

if you say so, but i have no idea what's considered an optional area and what's the main story. so youre saying the main game is done after talking to the tree lady?

why do girls eat so much mud?

update

still no native support for ds4

Are they stupid?

900 seconds

No they didn’t really do much

Levels & Enemies

Decreased enemy density in certain high-risk fall zones.

I don’t know what this is specifically but I never came close to dying to any enemies in the fall zone puzzles, they’re not the difficulty at all

Reduced the knockback distance of explosive harpoons fired by the Fisherman enemy.

This was just irritating because you’d get thrown in odd directions (harpoon lands to your left, strafe to the right away from it, explosion throws you to the left towards where it was ???)

Lowered the teleport frequency of the boss Choirmaster, the Inspector.

Boss was extremely unfun because he would get stuck in a loop of constant teleporting. Sprinting across the arena for 20 seconds to hit him once then needing to run back across was not fun or difficult, just tedious. In fact he’s likely far more difficult now because teleport spamming means he isn’t casting spells at you.

Fixed an issue where Necro, the Wanderer of Undersea would fail to reset its back-mounted Necro Thorns during rematches.

I don’t even know what this refers to, the adds maybe? If you don’t one shot this boss you need to uninstall and I am being completely serious.

Fixed an issue where Aether, the Father could be unintentionally defeated.

Fixing glitch kills, assuming that’s what this is, is the opposite of nerf

You're supposed to "fix her" with violence and then use her sword.

And how are you supposed to do that when her attacks are pretty much unpredictable?
Are you supposed to use the shield and hope for the best? I have no idea what the correct approach is here.

explosive drill fists

Ok, this game is based.
Three questions

Is this like Sifu where some attacks can dodge high strikes? Sometimes I find myself not getting hit when I should be and I wonder if it's just janky hitboxes or if the low stance heavy charge actually dodges some attacks.

does Stone(the guy with the coffin)'s questline lock me out of anything? I'm not sure if pilgrims involve the blonde girl in the campsite.

Does anyone else have a very slight white outline on everything? It's a bit distracting, makes the game look somewhat ugly and I don't know what's causing it.

My only issue with him was that i kept instantly dying to the phase transition no matter what I tried to do and the one time "just get far enough away" actually worked I beat him flawlessly.

I made the webm, it was my third try.

>Is this like Sifu where some attacks can dodge high strikes? Sometimes I find myself not getting hit when I should be and I wonder if it's just janky hitboxes or if the low stance heavy charge actually dodges some attacks.

no

Does anyone else have a very slight white outline on everything? It's a bit distracting, makes the game look somewhat ugly and I don't know what's causing it.

no, put it on very high then mess with the settings maybe

You can jump onto the Wanderer's back and pop the Necro Thorns for an instant kill.

Yes

No

Works on my machine

I was having fun until the necrons
What the fuck is this retarded enemy design?

ONLY MADE IN CHINA CONTROLLER SUPPORT MUTT.CRY ABOUT IT<3

>Fixed an issue where Necro, the Wanderer of Undersea would fail to reset its back-mounted Necro Thorns during rematches.

I don’t even know what this refers to, the adds maybe?

There's are spike blobs on his back, 5 of them.
The type you see often in early areas extending long spikes if you get close.
If you jump on his back and pop all 5 boss dies immediately.
Previously if you popped one or two, and then died, they didn't respawn for your next attempt at the boss.

Simply dodging her Heide Knight jerky ass worked for me
If you're feeling kinky, you can try to parry

Sometimes I find myself not getting hit when I should be and I wonder if it's just janky hitboxes or if the low stance heavy charge actually dodges some attacks.

The game's hitboxes are so good they feel jank because most soulslikes train you to intuit inaccurate hitboxes.

Okay, I can't block because of the piercing buildup.
I can't parry because I have absolutely no idea what the timing is.
And I can't dodge because her attack + aftereffect attack combo gets me nonetheless.
I am very confused.

Honestly if you just wanna cheese her then buy up some throwables and yeet. I don't particularly like that first corrupted blader because of not!bleed, weird-ass attack pattern, and being really out of the way with an annoying runback.

just play slowly treat her like a boss

ffffffffffffffffffffffffuuu

Using consumables? What am I, a casual?
I'd rather complain and die doing the same thing over and over.
Already doing that, if I don't she does her triple attack and I'm dead.

epic souls vets

Vast majority of whom are frauds and terrible at the games

Using consumables?

You could also Railgun

inb4 every chinese knockoff of DS4 is supported.kek

Oh lmao, so that’s what the platforms around the place were for. I just slashed at his back foot until he fell over for a fatal strike.

Content update WHEN

It plays closer to Valkyria Chronicles? How??

I barely even have time to exist.

she starts her attack

dodge to the side

her attack follows me and hits me anyway

It's a smartass comment because

muh animu look

Also I love how certain attacks just straight up stunlock you into death.

I just slashed at his back foot until he fell over for a fatal strike.

The beast has a big red glowing eye in front and every time I managed to topple it I ran to it to hit it for massive damage.
Didn't work very well.
Only on my third run I noticed orange riposte sign and plunged my weapon into it's belly.

Fuck I wish could play the same difficult game you describe. Maybe I should do a no-levelup run...

You’re dodging too early and if you don’t break that habit you’re going to get raped worse than Eric for the rest of the game. Enemies have Elden Ring tier tracking on their big moves and will make a 180° turn in the middle of the charge animation midair if you dodge early.

I kind of assumed there should be a riposte but it didnt appear to me, guess angle for that is fucked.

You’re dodging too early

If I dodge any later I get hit.
I'm starting to learn that I should dodge into enemies; it seems the attack hitbox does not follow the actual attack/white aftereffect.

Did they add running R1s or did I just never notice there being an animation for it?

The latter

You also often end up in the spot that prevents their followup attack or even gives you an attack window to punish, yes.

added Dualsense Edge support saar

But I was playing earlier with a Dualsense Edge? The glyphs/buttons were xbox but that didn't matter.

dodge backwards

she follows me and hits me

dodge swideways

she follows me and hits me

dodge forward

she does a sidesweep attack afterwards and hits me

Great fight.

?
which ones?
even the two headed necro's numerous spastic fast swings can be dodged out of if you get caught

There’s running R1s but I think it’s just a different animation to sync with sprint, the windup and damage doesn’t seem to be any different. There do not seem to be running R2s, you stop and plant your feet

JESUS THAT TOOK FOREVER
Yeah, no, I was having a lot of fun until this area.
Now to die 50 times to the necro boss...

One of the necro enemies who carry blades can do a quick one-two attack that come just fast enough after each other for you to not be able to dodge the followup.

fuckme.png - 1920x1080, 3.6M

What I did notice that there is zero animation for transitioning from holding your weapon to sprinting

just parry bro, or use the shield I guess

B L A D E (R) R E T V R N E D

Can't use the shield, the piercing buildup will kill you.

Lost bladers and necros are probably 2 of the hardest groups of enemies because they move unnaturally.

Fixed a bug where players could obtain duplicate Main Seals in New Game+.

Wasn't someone bitching about this on the yesterday thread?

I was. It’s annoying to have all these extra seals in my inventory because unlike weapons and armor, you can’t sell them.

You’re dodging too early, as the other anon said. It also helps to play around spacing which is something that hasn’t been a part of souls games since Bloodborne. All of those blader enemies have attacks and combos that are ripe to be exploited by standing just a bit outside of the attack and either charging a heavy attack or going in with a weapon art as soon as they’re done.
Also every single attack from that enemy (and nearly every attack in the entire game, I don’t know of any that aren’t) can be parried, and parry is ludicrously broken in this game.

Congrats, that’s the best weapon in the entire game and it really isn’t a close contest.

You mean his pipe, right?

falls off really fucking quick well as soon as you get the arbiter

Fuck me, the boss is arguably worse.
You can't parry the moment it attacks, because it'll either hit you before your parry activates or have a windup that goes past your parry window.
...wait this thing doesn't apply piercing. Maybe the shield finally has a use!

You are just missing the parry timings.

If you are going to use the shield, reminder that it has a special overload burst attack that can be triggered by double tapping the guard button when it glows purple. This attack hits relatively hard and generates a ton of sync, useful since the shield drains sync on deployment and block.

...wait this thing doesn't apply piercing. Maybe the shield finally has a use!

Never mind, I was so focused on not dying I didn't see the piercing buildup.
This area sucks ass.

patch notes

they nerfed the enemies and zones

Glad to know I beat the game, unlike everyone else playing after this update, they didn't beat the game

See that guy i met on that roof top again but he’s very injured

Option to give mud balls comes up but I can’t do anything because I only had Salty mud balls at the time

Did i mess up? I went to the branch right next to him time to refuel but he vanished.
Damn picky eaters would rather die than eat something they don’t like i swear

7014.jpg - 1275x694, 229.79K

He'll be fine.

He's virtually 50 meters up the road

Is there any reward for beating the 4 legged knight in the Spirit Depths? He was a pain enough as a boss and this runback is a chore.

IIRC, he drops a normal seal.

I don't remember but I hope you enjoy fighting them because you're going to see even more

Which one?
The lonely one? Drops a seal that does...something...to the shield

Okay, the necro boss was way easier.
I just spammed parry and hoped for the best.

What's the most fun starter/early game weapon?

Corrupted Blader Greatsword or Pipe.
One of them is super OP, though.

Nah, that can't be right, this feels too early for the boss fight. I must've missed something.

file.png - 1920x1080, 3.17M

drill fists are sadly shit, very high commitment
although it doesn't matter much because the game is easy

Did you turn off the eye?

Nope, fucking knew there had to be a way.

bunny

Slut.

post what you are wearing rn whore.

I enjoyed the dual blade moveset a lot, so the starting dual blade into the corrupted ones or the reapers later.

CN or EN?

I played with EN voices. The quality varies, some characters have top performance voice acting but the average character sounds just fine. The main character in particular sounds incredibly autistic, which fits given that she's an artificial lifeform made out of mud and she has no memories, but it's still incredibly autistic sounding.

New patch

Reduced the knockback distance of explosive harpoons fired by the Fisherman enemy.

Lowered the teleport frequency of the boss Choirmaster, the Inspector.

It's officialy over, Anon Babble whiners ruined the game.

Decreased enemy density in certain high-risk fall zones.

I wonder which ones do they mean here.

I think the devs forgot to update this texture

people love to see when their country make something cool and it's not shame.
schedule 1 is made by an aussie dev and the game is now pretty popular there and even my own aussie friends on discord shill it to me lol.

Wait, can you continue his storyline?

No idea, I'm still looking for his wife on the rooftops.

my sides

file.png - 525x497, 183.75K

She's in a room behind merchant.

I wonder which ones do they mean here.

Probably Sunken City Underground. Which would suck because I thought the enemies in that area were fine. The other suspect is Hagios Patir, some enemies are placed around stairs.

Vikas is a chad

Stygian Touch good?

Your own attacks have the same properties at least.

that's not only chinks but a good portion of nips too. you can see the main discord channel of the game and find some nips members posting everyday.

You can absolutely parry him, but necros are harder to parry in general because of their chaotic movements.
Shield is fine. I used it most of the time on my first run.

Necro update?

so did the devs fix any issue you guys wanted them to fix?? i haven't read the devlop yet.

Oh. You could briefly see that thing when they die, guess they fixed it?

He's definitely parryable and prob the easiest to parry boss in my experience. You sure you're not having some bad controller delay?

It's now there all the time apparently.
Thought it was supposed to be there only on death because of endgame spoilorz

Probably Sunken City Underground.

That one harpooner on elevated platform that had beefy lancer underneath and had all walkways covered was kinda fucked. Even if you sprint to him he could fire directly downwards because the platform was so small.
Of course there's always an option of railgunning him to death, but either way he would waste your time.

I guess it makes more sense that Nyx wants to be getting a view of all the combat instead of just the deaths though.

They fixed some annoying bugs and added some minor QoL like the map marking the soil samples you've gathered, in case you forget I guess. They still haven't added multiple spell slots.
I sprinted to him and it was fine, the problem is there's a couple of enemies on the way to him but you can drag them back to a place with more space to get rid of them, then just rush the harpoon guy and it's not that bad. That area was very memorable, I don't think they should change anything there. The only area where gravity is actually a serious problem is Underground Shaft and there are no enemies there anyways.

What got updated??

I figured s/he doesn't really care because s/she is just fucking with the other two and just pops in because

the fuck just happened to mah boi?

That blue rhombus used to not be there and popped in only during death animation

I always saw it, though.

Oh they absolutely don't give a shit about the overall "conflict" but I'm sure they can appreciate a good fight.

It's purple and it was always there for me.

Oh... she's gone...

file.png - 1920x1080, 2.69M

who?

The wife of the dying fisherman.
I'm pretty sure she offed herself.

Now you have learned an important lesson.

She literally tells you she needs to prepare to journey with pilgrims.

People die when they kill themselves?
S-sure anon. She's off with the pilgrims upstate.

You can find her corpse and memory later.
She intentionally sent her husband to get killed so she could run away with another man.
He ditched her because he found out church is his true love.
I shit you not.

In an essence it's the same thing, yeah.
it's hard to tell, but i think you meet her later, think i heard the same voice

Lmao, where do you find this?

Alright, nevermind, now THIS is something I've definitely missed.

From the branch where you first meet Kastina and get your first soil sample hug the right wall till you get to a bunch of train cars you can enter.
There's bunch of enemies in between including Charcoal's little brother it's somewhere after you fight him.
You get some normal seal that lowers bleed accumulation out if it.

[Nightmare Mode] get

You can never accidentally switch to Piercing Claw if Piercing Claw is the only thing you've got!

uhhh
where's your parry and your shield bwo

No idea, I guess I pick them up later?

No kidding..

This place was a pain in the ass but the rewards are worth it

7017.jpg - 1280x800, 136.15K

So how could they make AI limit 2?
What could it be?

And some people complain about yellow paint and HUD markers when anons like that exist.

I played through the game 3 times and used the Pardoner, Steel Axes and Serrated Halberd in that order for each clear. Pardoner is my fav. Fun game. Hope they make a sequel or some DLC.

Could you take a picture of the area?

Update.
Branch is called Survivor Stronghold and you don't need to hug right wall immediately.
Proceed till you end up on a small cliff from which you see necro that looks like Charcoal.
When you kill him look toward nearby group of 3 'humanoid' necros then follow the pretty red arrows.

bumpo limito reached.

Bros...the big yellow man from smash bros brawl and the tree bitch just had a meeting in front of me with a big scary eye, then fucked off and told me to enjoy my dying planet like the failure I am

I don't know, but you have to fight Arrisa at the end.

Batto Endo getto

Thanks, anon.
Wow, what a bitch.

And you play as adult Shirley

And you get secret ending after Hugging her when she is low level instead finishing her off.

get the fatal strike indicator

goes for a hug

153083485.jpg - 250x250, 15.99K

let's put two bulky enemies with incredible speed at the top of a platform without any handrails

i'm sure our players will really enjoy being pushed over the edge and having to walk for five minutes to return!

This is how I imagine the developers thought about creating the flying jetpack enemy arena.

Not knowing about

Try luring it out

not opening the shortcut for 15 second rerun

Arrisa, Loskid and Shirley traveling around the world fixing shit.
After AIs left, Church is dead and Tree is done but necros start to act up.
On your journey you meet again with Kastina and with her help enter the underground necro tunnels.
After a while you find out that org Dr.Adramelech worked for is manipulating necros.
Then you get an SOS from Delpha, begging anyone to help him save his new garden and human colony from vicious necro legion.

I like Delpha, hopeCHADS in doomed worlds are always kino

never fought 2 at once
that's what stones are for, or railgun if you're out

Bro, your weapon skills? Your Railgun?

he's just flying there...

menacingly!

file.png - 1920x1080, 3.38M

lol
bring him more dirt and see what happens

Parrying them it's fucked

...they moved sideways, fell off the platform and died...
This game is something else.

The Doctor guy with a robot is evil isn't he

No, why would you think that?
He's a good samaritan who helps people with severed limb for half the price.

Those in-between spaces

Aint no way i missed all that soil...

Who? The guy named after a Biblical False god that people sacrificed children to? Why would he be evil?
