Dolls Nest

Armored Dolls V: Vengeance Day
Have you been a good seedling? Of course not, take a bath stinky, mommy's baking fresh cookies.
Share your dolls!

after getting used to flight type leg all other leg type just feel bad to use

Continuing from last thread:
The War Hammer helped with the spiders, and still exploded for full damage when I lobbed it onto the snipers, thanks!

I think I'm gonna have to do a rusty run too now anon.

Same, trying to build a genuine Gypro-Verde doll felt slow and bad, doesn't help most of their guns are sub-par at best. GanzGanz1 by virtue of being an AR was still okay though.

It's fun, everything hits like a truck, and the repair costs are cheap! I've found use for consumables like decoys and smoke grenades to avoid enemies.

was this game a success for nitroplus? where do they do next?

Finally about to beat it so I may as well post the two loadouts I used the whole game. One thermal and one physical. I like the balanced classic combo of rifle + blade. I use sabi because the twins made it and they're cuties and they also basically helped with the greatsword as well. Yes I embraced the chuuni autism and named my loadouts angel and devil. The sabi loadout looks better when not against a black background, I wish you change the background in the customization screen. I also like the scimitar simply because it's a nice looking simple gun that doesn't clip with everything in addition to being good/reliable. Most other guns clip with the faluracan legs when held like this and it annoys my autism even if it's not like that in gameplay.

I had to force myself to stop using quads lol
Anyways, my NG+ scythe-only primary weapon anyways edgy daughter

the standard issue loadout is surprisingly effective

The frame is good, arrowhead is 2nd best AR behind gladius and gungir is maybe the best rear weapon

yeah, i guess it's like starting as a knight in that regard. i just kept expecting to get to a point where it wasn't the best option i had to use

Wish the same could be said for the long-range one, the AwlPike's really weak for a slow-firing bolt-action, not to mention only 72.5m range when ARs have around 55m but do easily 3x the DPS.

costwise close frame is the best since mid frame is available as loot early

I can't find the enemy nymph in this first zone...

in the starting area? down where you met yoyo, there's a red gate. she's behind that

Central Cavern? She's behind the red barrier

through the red gate

Cute mook

I went there but I couldn't figure out how to get past the barrier.

It really pisses me off how much delay there is between pressing spacebar and actually jumping.
The amount of times I've fucking fallen off ledges because the delay cancelled the jump as I moved off the edge.

I'm pretty sure they need to sleep. I don't think Yoyo's the only one with a bed.

A burst of D-Senpaitachi melts them in a split second. Not a surprise seeing as it's got retardedly high DPS, like all SMGs.

Cute nostalgic butt. Like looking up my sister's dolls' dresses.

lower levels

enough space there's cloud cover

this game really is BLAME!tastic

Quick rundown? Armored Core but girls?

Earlier AC + Demon's Souls + mecha musume I guess

Armored Core is already girls.

So just like in Dark Souls having high corrosion resist in Forbidden Zone is a detriment since it only delays the fog poison by a few seconds, but definitely increases its duration by a lot since now there's more bar to tick through.
Certainly makes the Bostm set even more useless, at least the tail is cute...

I got a whole lot more done just by being fucking FAST tearing around the whole scene for pickups before just returning to the tree when my health started getting low.
Helps there's a fairy ring right to the railgun bot.

What should I buy with my cells if I'm already happy with the weapons I have?

That's the secret to all swamp areas in soul games, helps teach you when to say fuck your souls, just ignore every thing and get the loot.

If you read the description on the tail, it even explicitly calls out being useless down there.

you know the bar ticks down faster visually when it's longer right? It takes the same amount of time to drain out regardless of your resistance.

What?

If you are just starting and feel like that, go spend them Elp for cosmetics, depending on what you are running though, you are gonna want to consider keeping a stock pile of agents and supplements. Supplements more so be cause they don't drop like the agents do

Elp cosmetics, healing items, cookies, buy out the limited stock guns/frames to complete your collection.

Very few games, especially souls like, miss the subtle humor and stupidity that from like to present with there style of lire building, im really surprised how well this game gets that aspect of From's soul games.

Should I clear zones past the initial boss fight, I feel like I'm getting owned.

That is the way forward yes, bait out enemy attacks til they reload then go in for the kill.

poison zone

oh...
and there it goes off my wishlist

Bro literally just ignore everything. That's literally how those places work.

You may as well write off this entire style of game because they're invariably going to have a poison swamp.
At least the Dolls Nest one doesn't slow you down at all.

Cool, Leki is not immune to Corrosion, I chucked a nade under her after the slam and she remained in it long enough to get poisoned, took half a dozen knives to proc Disintegration though, at least I think I got it to proc.

It works on Demon's Souls rules, so generally the second area of any of the three branches is going to be tougher. If you want the path of least resistance, you could do the first area of each before tackling the second, but you don't really get that much of value from most loot.

She has dialog for bypassing the red barrier without her right eye.
It's nothing special. Just her "yeah, I already told you. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY."

Nymphs have actual biological parts that they need to accommodate from time to time. The gradual dp-recovery item is literally just vitamins.

secret mecha autism game

Nice

Bro, your Elp?

Clear a zone

Go to the next zone and loot it, but leave the boss for later

Go to another layer

Repeat twice

Start actually upgrading gear and then kill those 3 bosses

Simple as.

Should we tell her?

Damn, Junk set is too shit to make it up this wall in Tomb.

Not enough games are made where they just plop you down into the game world and don't tell you anything. I guess there's a basic tutorial but it's essentially nothing

Finally found a melee weapon I want to use.

My NG++ save just corrupted is it even possible to grab someone save or mod to unlock all items?

probably, but it's not going to be fun

Just tested it, it lasts just shy of 2 minutes and drained almost 13k DP no matter my resist, my bad.

Actually, I swapped out my parts and it did more dmg, quick math shows it deals 60% of your DP. Guess being slow and tanky is even worse for this zone then.

Yes, it is a bit different from dark souls poison in that sense, since that game's poison does a flat amount. As such the corrosion in this game is pretty useless since most enemies don't have nearly enough hp to warrant using poison on. Though I have been told it's not bad for the boss of the forbidden zone since she's pretty tanky.

Yeah I managed to poison her with a corrosive nade a few hours ago and it definitely helped bring her down. Her shotgun did crazy chip dmg even when I was 50+ meters away and if I was up her ass when she finished reloading she almost 1-shot me. I wish my shotgun was that bullshit.

This is a priestess you could trust with your life.

get to cube boss

DA DADA DADA plays

kino

In her mind, she truly did nothing wrong.

Fuck

Don't see the drops where I killed her

The drops gets moved to the nymph's spawn location

Thank god.

i picked up her frame set from the prison cells preceding her arena, and she basically did fuck-all against me when wearing it. of course, i brought the wrong gun to the fight and chipping away at her ass took quite some time.

is it really good when facing frontal attack or just muh lore?

I wish back weapons did not eat up so much ammo. Its fun to just sprint around dodging and just blast automatons.

Defense stats have two values, one for frontal attacks and one for weakpoints (back).

it certainly seemed really effective in that fight, but the turn rate sucks ass and the booster performance is gross.

Is an actual honest-to-god pedo

Has zero interest in your innocent inexperienced flesh

She's so selectively weird.

At least some rear weapons have 'okay' BP efficiency, Dainsleif is quite okay at 5330 dmg for only 115 BP, Gungnir, FALG and Trident are also decently cheap, still not cheap enough to be spamming left and right without eating into your cookie jar.

loli form =/= loli age

More like they are the only usable rear weapons+Gar. 2 gungir are nice for extra reach, burst, ammo dump and filler when reloading

Seedling covered in the stench of dead nymphs

You're stinky.

Gypro-Verde had weird priorities. It's no wonder they got wiped out.

aaaaaaa where demonbane muramasa !!!

I just realized that tall loli is not a genre/theme/category even though it damn well should be.

The AwlPike is literally my favorite weapon. It's exactly as strong as it needs to be. AwlPike and Katana is great.

True, Dainsleif is the only one that doesn’t make me regret bringing a backpack—feels like it's actually scaled to the fights you're in instead of just being a panic button. Gungnir spam during reload rotations is clutch though, especially on bosses with dumb i-frames like the Twin Binders. Still holding out hope they buff BP regen mods so I can actually run FALG without having to resupply every 3 rooms.

I used it a lot too but honestly wished I had enough spare capacity for the heavy-ish sniper. It even has different shot SFX that I like more.

Eat your cookies

Hm, looking at this again, if you come from the left it's almost impossible to not notice the item through the rebar which might prompt you to get closer and spot Hati (if she's there), BUT if you come from the right path, loop around the pit and then come into the room while hugging the wall and jump straight down the hole it's possible to not see Hati or the item.

Not utterly scouring the map multiple times over to make sure you get every last restoring agent

Likewise here, you enter the gauntlet, the shortcut is concealed around the corner and we see shiny item dead ahead and almost immediately get shot at by the sniper bot and getting close to the item wakes up the gatling forcing you to take cover. I can see why someone could miss the shortcut and by extension Hati.

This area was pretty dense, there are like secret vents and holes and shit.

What's the difference between a seedling and a nymph?

nta but I end up scouring the map totally because I get lost

Nymphs are a catchall for the nanomachine variant loli lifeforms modeled after humans.
Seedlings are nymphs specially made by Nehma to sow chaos, dissent and betrayal to shake things up for the sake of avoiding civilization stagnation.

Yeah, their whole doctrine was like "Let's destabilize society by turbo-breeding chaos agents" and then acted surprised Pikachu when the chaos turned on them. Should’ve spent less time writing tragic backstories and more time investing in decent perimeter defenses.

Losing an argument so hard, he tries to restart it the next day

Two problems.
1. The approach to that entrance is angled. As in "you will fall to the floor below & have to redo shit if you try to go about in the way you are trying to depict here" Furthermore, taking that path would require you to take on one of those incredibly chunky flamethrowerbots head on.
2. Nobody jumps down a 1-way hole without looking around a room first.
This bullshit is taking "arguing in bad faith" to a whole new autistic level. Now go ahead and use the "I'm not that anon" defense so we can be done here.

Really begs the question how though, it's clearly been established Seedlings smell... weird, if nymph nests truly work off some ant pheromone logic it's weird that some strange "nymph" showing up to your doorstep that smells off wouldn't immediately be a red flag.

Maybe they just reach out to radicals like Nagara or Gypro-Verde and encourage their melee/tank autism to get them to rebel.

wake me up when they finally fix the stuttering/freezes
