Great Shinobi Owl has been the hardest boss for me so far

dang_he_groovin
commented

Uhh owl is a big patience boss. You can be too aggressive with him and you can also be too passive. You can't expect to get in more than one hit after a chain of deflects. You just have to be comfy slowly withering him away.

Elden Ring: Does strength need to be leveled up if you keep upgrading dexterity?

Also if your endurance is at around 25 you should be fine leaving it there until you reach around 110

Elden Ring: Does strength need to be leveled up if you keep upgrading dexterity?

dang_he_groovin
commented

Uhh, I mean, it depends on how you're using uchi.

Generally, with any weapon, it's better to stick to one damage stat when you're at level 80

If you're two handing it I would actually try respeccing your dex points into strength after you get some larval tears. When two handing a weapon, you get the strength scaling you'd get at 1.5x your level. So you'd get a lot more damage out of a heavy infusion at 25 strength than keen at 25 dex.

Otherwise, if you're holding a shield in your off hand most of the time, I would just stick with dex.


Is/was it a common stereotype that trans women tend to be good at dark souls? Or am I living in some sort of statistical anomaly?

Is/was it a common stereotype that trans women tend to be good at dark souls? Or am I living in some sort of statistical anomaly?

Hi, for context I am by my own definition a straight cis guy. Maybe 25 years old - eldest of gen z.

Forgive me if this post is in any capacity insensitive. I'm just... wondering if this is a common experience.

I have been close friends with maybe 5 trans women in my life, though as I've got older people move and we've drifted apart a bit. And I've met countless others. I tend to frequent circles that are predominantly queer but whatever.

Anyways the moral of the story is like 80% of them have been huge dark souls / fromsoft fans.

Like am I crazy?? this either has to be a trend or God picked me to be the one to meet all of the biggest trans fromsoft fans in New England.

Elden Ring: Am I overpowered, underpowered or just downright bad?

Another thing you can do is just expirement with where you can get hits in. Like play a few rounds in the ring where you focus down staying alive and getting damage in a secondary goal. Then try that with his lightning phase.

I promise you can beat him.

Level your spirit ash too if you can.

(Also the lightning strike thing where he pulls his arm down/fist pumps and u get struck you can dodge by timing ur roll right when he pumps)

Haven't played since I quit meth - started (sekiro) again. It still pops off.

Papi I've probably beat isshin hundreds of times I just hadn't tried him in over a year and it was a fresh save.

I don't think anybody does well in sekiro their first go around.

Elden Ring: Am I overpowered, underpowered or just downright bad?

dang_he_groovin

Tree sentinel is just tough to learn, you have to get a little better at dodging and a little better at finding time to use the flask. I used to burn 4-5 flasks trying to heal from the fireballs before I realized i could dodge through them.

The katana is good try spamming heavy unsheath you'll get poise breaks in.

Also, try looking for some better armor, the knight armor isn't bad but I don't think it's lightning resistance is great. The leyndell knights and soldiwra should drop some decent armor - and there's a carian knight set hidden in Raya lucaria.

Also , try a shield!

Sekiro experts: How do you know when to attack or deflect?

Literally this, when an enemy deflects your attack and intends to attack there is a different effect that will be played, fight lady butterfly and listen for it.

Clean but you're missing a lot of opportunities to get a shot in. Also why not just wear some better armor? Is your endurance that low? It might help mitigate the getting popped so quickly thing.

i fucking hate hirata estate

dang_he_groovin
commented

Do jozuo after you finish ashina Castle and have at least two prayer necklaces and two attack power upgrades. Him and that which follows in hirata estate, is maybe mechanically less difficult but you need the boosts in attack power and health to take them down, especially on your first go.

And yeah alcoholic joseph is a stealth boss as much as he is an hp sponge boss. Take out his goons first, upgrade your stealth all the way on the skill tree if you have to.

If you made it to him, you can do it!

Make a point to get good at deflecting his slow swings. Spamming wont work, and the posture damage really starts to rack up after you get his health down a little. And getting in those perfect deflects gives you some openings.

And always always beat the shit out of him when he's drinking or puking on his sword. He locks into those animations, and it's a great time to get some hits off.

Good luck and don't give up! You have another wall to hit your head against after this!

What makes inner genichiro so much harder than normal genichiro?

dang_he_groovin
commented

Yeah to beat inner genichiro you have to be okay playing up close, one hit from death, on a full posture bar. It's a great lesson.

You just can't freak out and act on "oh I'm about to get him i just have to rush him" or "oh God I took a hit i have to get off a heal now"

you follow through with the combos until those things can happen naturally.

If you have it unlocked, try using yashurikus spiritfall. Just see what happens. And also, yeah, dash under the third hit of Sakura dance. It's an easy hit on his health bar.

I literally just go back to being taught estimation in elementary school here?? Like, there is a strategy involved in managing econ and scaling jokers. But for putting together raw scoring, do the math for which hands you'll be playing and find out what gives you the biggest number.

Discussion

I'm like a little over a year into being sober as a judge (please don't congratulate me). At the end of my use, one of my favorite bender activities would be to smoke meth and play sekiro for days at a time, just going through remembrance fights until I could do them hitless. I must have fought inner father like 300 times. I never was into playing charmless but I did get down with demon bell.

Anyways after I quit I was obviously miserably depressed for like a 6 months and I was just incapable of enjoying sekiro. I tried playing more shortly after I quit but I think my brain was just too screwed up from the months and months of extreme sleep deprivation, plus dopamine mega blasting I put the poor thing through near the end. It was sorta sad but at that time I had bigger fish to fry.

Anyways school is out for the summer and I was getting yoked for the elden ring dlc. After I beat mohg, on a whim I popped open sekiro and started a new save. Which I've tried to do a number of times, but just could never really get into it. This time though after I slogged through the opening and beat the horsey dude (lamest boss I have +600 hours in this game - I don't even remember his name), I said "fuck it can we do the bull?". The answer was yes we got the bull first go.

Anyways fast forward like 4 or 5 days later, beat owl father first try, and then tonight

ISHHIN FIRST TRY BITCHES

I still need to get demon of hatred which will not be a first try win (I loathe that fight it does not come as naturally to me as some of the others)

But getting isshin on my first go after putting the game down for a year was such a good moment. It was like what they say about riding a bike or something. Crazy shit. This game slaps. Easily my favorite fromsoft game. No bells, no whistles, just some very *very good stealth missions and boss fights.

Good primary care doctors?

I'm 25 and I haven't had a PCP in probably 6 years (I was a whacky kid) . I'm not on masshealth - I just moved here in January.

It's come to my attention that I should probably see a doctor. Any suggestions for where to start looking? (In and around Lowell)
