Anyone tried the full cheese dual Cross Nagis with instant bleed? Absolutely absurdly broken.

I'm a boring bitch. I haven't changed my armour in about 60 hours and have used the Bloodfang since I got it with zero magic.

NG+ is where I'll experiment.

I haven't even seen the Fire Giant or their arena or know their attacks but I've read so many people saying "Feck the Fire Giant."

I'm imagining Smelter Demon on crack.

Looks balanced to me!

Just asking for a friend - what weapon and build is that?
It's rivers of blood. Arcane build. You can find them online quite easily.

I also used a pickled turtles neck before going in as it boosts stamina recovery so I could attack more and burn her down quicker.

Rivers of blood is legitimately broken for most of the game.

I envy everyone Who had mimic tear on ng. Makes most bosses easy. I didnt use ashes at All in my first playthrough.

I do this but with gargoyles blood twin blades + 24 (137 bleed buildup on each), Jumping attacks get 4 hits. Pop the same on good old mimic tear and you can get up to 8 hits if he jumps too or 6 if he doesn't. Literally eats enemies like they are nothing on ng+ haven't had a boss battle last over 1 minute.

I still think and stand by the my opinion most people who love this game cheese the uber weapons/ashes/summons. Because they are there and it would be tedious without them.

I want to hear from those trying to play this as a DS1/BB/DS3 legend playing this game in the spirit of what made the genre in the first place...come at me and tell me why this is up there as the best souls game.

Anyone know a discord channel or something that allows trading and muling? It's common with the other souls games but the major discord channels for this have banned it.

Malenia Blade of Miquella was defeated last night. Goddamn that was brutal. The hardest boss in the game so far, that's for sure. I was losing my mind!

Beat Fire Giant on my second attempt. Definitely didn't stack up to the difficulty hype I read online.

I'll probably one-shot Melania too since I'm so great.

I'm at the Lake of Rot AKA Lake of BULLSHIT

Is there a way to stop the rot somehow? Otherwise what is this place other than gimmicky wait until you die and then rinse and repeat until you find the way out-type place?

Yes, there are items that cleanse the Rot and build up.

It's still a bullshit place though

Yes you can craft items that cure it. But my supply didn't last so at the end I just grabbed my legs and ran....and healed....and ran....and healed... :D

Boluses or Flame Cleanse Me is the only way I think.

Well... shit. I think I'll just go with run and gun... but who thought this would be a fun place to add in? It's the same in other souls games, the swamp areas are not fun, just tedious!

Yeah I beat him on 3rd try. Wasn't too bad. Giants are always the same tactic. Walk behind him, smack his ankles, move away from his flames and get your shield out for the random rolls he does. Doing solo is always much more difficult than with a summon of course. The Tiche summon for me helps push through a lot.

There are platforms that make a path for you (kind of). And there is a boss in there somewhere too in that lake :D

I’ve loaded it up again. NG+2?

What other cool builds are there?
Faith/lightning builds are cool. I also want to try a fire/dragon mage build. Right now I'm using blasphemous blade (rykard remembrance greatsword) and dual wield Lordsworn straight swords to put my own ashes on them, and then a seal to do faith spells. Loads of fun.

Not come across that yet! Looks... funky
I wouldn't be able to remember where to get it in a million years, but I think it's quite early on. It does help, just not that huge a change but enough to get you through combined with running.

Also remember never to roll in poison/rot as it sticks to you and continues the build up.

Discovered the Subterranean Shunning Grounds beneath the capital. The size of this game continues to blow my mind.

I’m going for platinum because all other games have been ruined for me. On Journey 3 and just got all the legendary armaments.

:lol: can't believe you wanted shot of it initially.

FromSoft games are like The Wire... pretty tough to get into but once you do everything else seems to pale in comparison.

Yeah we’re currently rewatching The Wire and it’s just as good as I remember.
