Yeah, the invisible pathways are stressful to deal with (although Prism Stones do help), and one of those crystals is kinda bs with how you can falloff what looks like a perfectly walkable section of it...

Dark Souls: Where the good ending is depression. 35 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: I am guessing you mean Siegmeyer. In Lost Izalith, did you kill all the cone-bodied monstrosities before talking to him? Ayup. Fell into a pit, then all of them fell into a hole while trying to attack me. He then gave me a ring, though. 35 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Did you rescue his daughter from the gold crystal golem? ...Oh. Haven't seen any of those yet... 35 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Ughh...can't stand that boss fight myself. I mean, I didn't like it, but the run to it was only ~40 seconds using the big hallway, and not much really slows you down or stops you on the way there as opposed to something like Bell Gargoyles, where a somewhat dangerous group of foes who are rather dangerous are stopping you. ...Not saying that I didn't like the Bell Gargoyles, quite the opposite, I just think that Bed of Chaos's Trial-and-Error gameplay could have been a lot worse. I think I'll find Seath to be much worse, since the run is both long and dangerous, and those clams he spawns during the fight make dealing with his huge AoE attacks really tricky, since he doesn't seem to get rid of them, unlike Nito, who does ressurect 'em, but also constantly gets them out of your way or obstructs them. (I actually ended up beating Nito by going to one side to pull all the skeletons in, then running around to the other side of the rock and behind Nito so that all the skeletons got stuck in him.) 35 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Yeah, the invisible pathways are stressful to deal with (although Prism Stones do help), and one of those crystals is kinda bs with how you can falloff what looks like a perfectly walkable section of it... I also have a tendency to clip through rocks as well. I once got Gump stuck in a circle of rocks, before she got launched into a giant pit. It was really funny. Aside from losing 6 humanity, but eh, I'd have lost 'em sooner or later anyways. Plus, I can always attack rats or skeleton babies with the Covetous Gold Serpent ring. Neither of those should have humanity, actually... As for ending...I think I will choose not to link the flame, but I also don't think I'll slap Gwynevere and Gwyndolin. Spoiler I keep being told to succeed Gwyn...And since what Gwyn did was force the course of nature to progress, I think I succeed him by ending the age of fire as opposed to continuing it. I'm not dead-set on this yet, since I have to think through the connotations of this choice, such as what the Dark will actually do and whether it just means that Kaathe will eat us all, but my current choice is that. Plus, the dragons still exist after the war, and according to Dohmall, there's still an eternal dragon/cult surrounding it. Wait, does that mean that linking the flame is the Fire Emblem ending?! Gwyn as lord for FE17 confirmed. The old world doesn't have to crumble entirely when a new one commences, I don't think. Plus, I'm not a particularly destructive fellow, aside from my strategies in FE so I don't know if I have the heart to end more things than necessary. We can host the Olympics in Anor Londo this way as well. Edited July 3, 2021 by Benice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same thing on my first run to be fair. 1 minute ago, Benice said: ...Oh. Haven't seen any of those yet... It should be in that area between the Duke's Archie and the crystal cave. There is another one that has captured a character key to the DLC (well it was DLC in the original, but should be included in remaster) in a cave behind the lake with the hydra in darkroot basin... 34 minutes ago, Benice said: I mean, I didn't like it, but the run to it was only ~40 seconds using the big hallway, and not much really slows you down or stops you on the way there as opposed to something like Bell Gargoyles, where a somewhat dangerous group of foes who are rather dangerous are stopping you. ...Not saying that I didn't like the Bell Gargoyles, quite the opposite, I just think that Bed of Chaos's Trial-and-Error gameplay could have been a lot worse. This kinda makes me wonder what you will think about the somewhat controversial choice made in DS2 where if you kill enemies enough times they stop coming back (unless you are part of the challenge rock covenant, but that is a discussion for another game...) 8 minutes ago, Benice said: I think I'll find Seath to be much worse, since the run is both long and dangerous, and those clams he spawns during the fight make dealing with his huge AoE attacks really tricky, since he doesn't seem to get rid of them, unlike Nito, who does ressurect 'em, but also constantly gets them out of your way or obstructs them.

I don't remember him summoning anything. Did some of the clams from in front of the boss room sneak in? If so you should be able to kill them all before entering to not have to deal with that. I will also note that cutting off his tail is a pain if you go for it, as only the middle tail counts, and you have to hit it far enough from the base to count as a tail hit. 27 minutes ago, Benice said: Plus, the dragons still exist after the war, and according to Dohmall, there's still an eternal dragon/cult surrounding it. I am guessing you missed the secret and majestic area that is Ash Lake then. In the Blight Town Swamp there is a pathway past two illusory walls that leads to the Great Hollow, and at the bottom of that there is Ash Lake, and at the back of it is you can find the covenant of the Path of the Dragon...

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Can't sleep tonight. Not sure exactly why, but I think I need to work out more to exhaust myself, or do other stuff. Why is it that you can't feel good during exercise, only after? That is what continually puts me off from promises to sweat daily, I need instant gratification. And it turns out it doesn't take very much news-watching to start sending me back into the doldrums. I'm not there yet, but even a moderate interruption from a news hiatus is having more effects than I thought it would. Back to calmly saying "the world is doomed" but not watching it's day-by-day demise then. Time to pass time wasting it on the Internet until the sleep fatigue reaches the point where I do fall asleep then.🥱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) These little buggers are so friggin' adorable! I want one as a pet.I think I'll name this one... Jean-Luc. XD Also, @Shrimperor, I've discovered that Tornado Sword is, like, THE best skill for gathering stuff. Gone are the days of painstakingly lining up a jump just right to get to harder to reach gathering points that are higher up. Now I have an attack to do it for me. Hehe! Hmm... gather materials at specific points to craft stuff with them, eh? And different materials have different rarity... This is beginning to sound an awful lot like an Atelier game, isn't it?

Saint Rubenio Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 All right, Red Herring man is beat. Only took me two tries this morning, it went super well. I just exploited his AI oversight to my advantage and stayed close to him so he wouldn't use the slowmo thing, and then he died. ...or not, because he pulled a Hubert. That fight was so pointless... But eh, I had fun, so it's all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Haha Ys 3 and 4 before they got their remakes were the same, although unlike Ys 5 these games are loved and many love on of the og Ys 4 games over canon Ys 4 Canon Ys 3 is Oath in Felghana. Og one was a sidescroller like Zelda 2 Canon Ys 4 is Memories of Celceta. Originally there were 2 Ys 4 games from different developers, both which got uncanonized by modern Ys and Celceta being a thing. In one of them Adol ends up with Ys 2 Apple girl. Curtent Ys Timeline is like this iirc: Ys Origin (canon: 3rd route) -700years-> Ys 1/2 -> Ys 4 (canon: Celceta) -> Ys 3 (canon: Felghana) -> Ys 5 (no canon game yet) -> Ys 8 -> Ys 6 -> Ys 7 -> Ys 9 Kondo said he wants to do Ys 10 next i think, but he also did say they wanna remake Ys 5 and add alot of stuff they cut from their original plan Although i can see why they are hesitant to remake 5. It almost killed the series... Edited July 3, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
