Meh, Bell Bearing, but not the one i want:

ymfah is at it again with his No Thing run:

Why though.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Still no Bell Bearing, but close!

 

[Caim]

ymfah is at it again with his No Thing run:

Why though.

What day is it.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Lmao the spear one was so passive it didn't even attack me while i stood face to face with him. What a fucking travesty. Posting this only to show how much they destroyed those fights:



But lo, a Bell Bearing! Finally!

I don't know why the [3] are so fucking hard to get, both somber and regular.

Next i need the regular Bell Bearing [2] and i can have some peace of mind for a while. Currently i'm at +10/+4, which feels pretty balanced for Altus. We'll see moving forward.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Yeaah, i didn't even have to do the cave the regular Bell Bearing thingy was in a chest. Finally lmao fucking grinding for stones fuck that shit.

Anyway, i'm at the blood doggos area and found a red summon sign and i was like, lmao, who bitch this is? Turns out they added people you can invade offline for Varre quest:

Guess it makes sense.

[EDIT] Lmao i just looted the chest wait so now we get TWO Great Stars? I can powerstance this shit now? WTF where was this when i made my whole build around this weapon.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Meh, should have recorded the other guy, though Lion's Claw and beast incantations as pretty bad for PvP so i was able to kill the invader easily:

Spear guy is so polite now waiting its turn and not being up your ass the whole time with his jumping spear jab nonsense.

 

[Lyric Suite]

It's like they broke the AI for those specifically. The other duo fights were also passive but not like the Crystalians. I killed the other one and the spear guy still stood there doing shit while i did two whole jump attacks and only woke up on the third jump attack.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Just marking progress at this point:



On to Shaded Castle!

 

[Lyric Suite]

Getting bored of the Bastard Sword, so i'm gonna take the Claymore for a spin:



Giant took a lot longer than expected to knock down, guess they are starting to get more beefed up now.

 

[Lyric Suite]

So i tried parry-fu this guy and it actually works pretty well:



Fucker caught me unawares by doing that shield charge at close range, which i didn't expect. I also didn't try parrying the sword when it goes red, just assumed you can't.

I'm already starting to miss bleed lmao need to find a way to maximize damage on the Claymore and see if it's comparable when you total the entire output.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Ok, so i tried to test it but i'm not sure what to think of it. First is with the Bastard Sword and bleed. Second is with regular Claymore:




Not a good test as those black flame whirlwinds in the second phase just break the flow and it's hard to keep up any kind of momentum or bleed build up. I also don't like the crouch attack of the Claymore. The Bastard Sword does that awesome whip lash but the Claymore goes on a lounge attack that seems to be slower (or maybe i'm just not used to it), so i defaulted with hit and run jump attacks.

I'll try again on the beefed up version in Caleid later on. Technically i could just slap bloody slash on the Claymore but i need to try to get off that cluch.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Alright, you guys remember when i said i wasn't gonna make a beeline to items, just pick them as i go naturally?

Just wasn't feeling the Claymore, too prestigious for a wrech i'll save it if i ever make a full paladin build or something.

So i picked up the Fire Scorpion Charm (literally drive by horse running into it and out lmao) and went finish up Redmane Castle to get the FLAMberge and fire whetstone thingy, and this are the results of going full on fire:



Ho yeah baby, really kicking into high gear now. Flameberge even has some bleed on it but i'll focus on fire and if i get a proc whatever.

Weapon is still at +10 even though i got enough material to go way beyond that can't believe i'm SL1 and i'm still trying hold back lmao. New house rule i'll probably break eventually anyway: no going past +10 until i get the next bell bearing.

 

[Silva]

You know the game is shit when only one posting is an autist faggot on a quest for maximum autismo.


P.S: shit, Lyric is here since 2006. Either his child is using the account or he got full senile.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I was senile in 2006 bro, that's why i joined the Codex in the first place.

 

[Lyric Suite]

For the record, i'm picking up the pace before the next burn out hits lmao. Gotta get her done my friends are watching.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Forgot the fire goes all the way to his dick:


Nice mistake to make on a boss that basically kills me with one shot with anything he does. If only i had targeted the tail instead...

This shit pisses me off i'll come back for this fucker later.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I see, so now mediocrepoet dares to mock me.

Fine, fine, went lifting a bit and came back to smack this bitch:



There.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Alright, time for that wierd forest with those wierd Lovecraftian things:

 

[Lyric Suite]

I think i may have been doing too much lifting wtf is this:

 

[Lyric Suite]

wat...

 

[NJClaw]

Look at this lamer! Playing a SL1 character just to have an easy time against the Mimic Tear!

 

[Lyric Suite]

Heh, what weapon upgrade did you use on your SL1 run, if any?

When i started this i didn't put a limit on weapon upgrades as i didn't want to go overboard with the "autism", especially since it's my first attempt at a SL1 run (only other one i ever did was in DS1 but that was cut short in the middle of it by my sister visiting from overseas for a couple of months and i didn't resume it), but i'm seriously concerned by how much damage i'm doing. Granted i'm buffing the shit out of everything but still.

 

[NJClaw]

I used a different weapon for each boss, so I never really married any particular upgrade. Moreover, I ended up using a lot of somber weapons, so I never thought that much about it. Most of the times I just went with the regular upgrade, switching only against enemies with specific weaknesses.

I didn't bother with buffs outside of the really free ones (flask and exalted flesh) as I was already dealing enough damage even having to spread smithing stones across multiple weapons.
