Bacon Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 2 minutes ago, Mr.Vic20 said: So far I'm cruising through this DLC. I've been exploring and picked up the power up "fleebs" ( I'm too old to keep remembering the names of various power ups in games, so I call them all Fleebs) and I've been dropping bosses and dragons fairly well. I would guess I'm about 50% of the way through the DLC now. I haven't tried any of the new weapons, but I will this weekend. I don't like most of the new weapons because they either have extended animations or require stats in things other than STR and DEX. I did read about a GIGA weapon and I'm thinking about respecing to STR arcane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is….? Im finding in the DLC I’m actually switching up weapons depending on the boss which I never did in the base game. That was Blood Fang —> Sword of Night and Flame —> Moonveil Katana Now I’m bouncing around between Renallas Twin Blades, those twin Lightning Axes and going back to Moonveil if something is annoying and I don’t want to spend time figuring it out 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I might need to go back to just beating motherfuckers with a huge club/hammer. This playthrough I’ve been all about dex weapons and dodging, which has been fun, but I’m ready to mix it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Bayle down in an honest fight. Figured out how to avoid all but his flying breath attack and the first quick super lunge attack, but those were the rarest ones. Again he felt very resistant to status effects on NG+, especially because he jumps away so much my greases would wear off the weapon before getting enough attacks in, so I just committed to reading his tells and punishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I believe I’m about 75% complete now.the abysmal woods really aren’t that bad at all, they just have a fairly simply stealth mechanic. Stealth has never been my cup of tea, but it was all over in 10 minutes, so it was fine. I’m now power level 14 and most bosses are pretty reasonable to contend with. If all goes well, I might even wrap up the main quest tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Had to use all the cheese I could think of to beat the final boss... although I did nerf myself by cosplaying as Malenia so my armor was definitely not the best for the fight. I have no idea how you're supposed to avoid all of that damage in the second and third phases; literally one mistake and you're dead with full defensive talismans plus defensive spells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
