Bacon Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, Bloodporne said: Eh I think it's actually a bit touchy to use during bosses sometimes. You REALLY have to watch your attack window because it's somewhat slow compared to a regular sword or similar. I started with Estoc and this one's windup really fucked me up during bosses at first, their combos tend to be really quick. Still a fantastic weapon if you can be a bit selective about when to attack. Sure it is slower, but Greatswords and Ultra Greatswords have been new player weapons of choice for a long time now. I find for bosses that the more damage you can deal in a single hit the better. Fast weapons just don't seem to cut it in ER. Also, I jump attack like a motherfucker. It is literally the best way to get in a lot of damage in one hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have like 30ish hours in I think, just completely addicted. Lvl 52 Also haven't progressed farther north after beating Godrick. Just spent all 30 hours exploring the opening region, Limgrave, and some of the east Caelid. I did clear quite a few dungeons in Caelid, even though it is a very difficult region. But get my ass kicked by a lot of the open world bosses there. Think im gonna focus on main story stuff and head north finally. Unless the game completely falls off, I think it's definitely up there as one of my favorites of all time, if not the favorite of all time.

JPDunks4 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Also spent a lot of time searching the Castle as well, and found an Iron Whetblade, which lets you choose the affinity you want on your weapon when doing the Ash of War stuff. Missed it my first time through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully it seems the halbe4d is better in ER. It's easier to hit flying enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to stick with stuff like Falchions and so on, so this feels kind of hard for me in terms of finding openings. That being said, the jump attack on this thing is one of my favorite aspects, especially with the jump attack buff talisman, damn. It just feels punishing.

Im using a great axe and I love it, but only in some places. Axe and Board exploring inside Stormveil Castle, absolutely incredible. For bosses I dropped the shield. But outside, those birds?

Mr.Vic20 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Bacon said: I use it. You use it. Everybody uses it. It is definitely the n00b weapon of the game. Not because it is bad, but because it is very good with no skill required. It is a great weapon for newbs and vets. I guess the downside is that you can make other weapons stronger faster. I have had it plus 2 for a while now, but the other sword I dual wield is +8 and deals more damage. Doesn't have bleed tho. Fortunately for me, I went a long time before discovering it so I was able to take it to level +6 right away and man does it pay out!

Best Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I played 8 hours today for a total of 30 hours played. I killed 3 bosses today, found golden seeds, and open the map twice by finding the pillars. I absolutely love this game. I've never been this addicted to a game in years. It's so fucking engrossing and fun to play. It's probably one of the best games I've ever played. When I'm not playing it all I do is think about playing it. I'm done for the day but I can't wait to get back at it tomorrow. Also, I love how some bosses allow you to summon help from others. I had no clue that was a feature. It makes the game so immersive. This has exceeded my expectations by a long shot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodhound's fang is a special weapon. I mean, people can obvs take different paths in this game, but +6 seems pretty high for special weapon seeing as they can only go up to +10. Normal weapons go up to +25 tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 1, and Elden Ring to my list of games I play annually but dats mad time. Guess I could do one a year. Also protip the first 100 points in physical defense are the most valuable. You get diminishing returns after. Magic is different going over 100 is ok.
