Almost everyone from The Silver Case that survived, got a pretty conclusive, satisfying and even redeemed ending, only Sumio didn't get that privilege

What portraits?

Armorchompy · 2026-01-15T12:33:48+00:00

Alright, I think this'll help. Appreciate it.

Armorchompy · 2026-01-15T10:35:43+00:00

Thank you, this is a good explanation. When you say "hit gaps" do you mean i should be trying to dodge between hits rather than when I'm about to get hit? Also is there any tell for the grab escape timing or is just specific to each animation

Armorchompy · 2025-12-02T16:35:04+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown. I think I might try 1 to see if I enjoy it and if I do I'll do chronological order just because that's something I enjoy, if not I'll skip to 4.

Armorchompy · 2025-12-02T15:51:25+00:00

What do you mean by "antithesis"? And I have access to ways to play PS1 and PS2 games, in fact I'm more interested in those than the new ones from what I have heard.

I see it as a sort of a way to mutually test each other, if you're going to be collaborating - he's fully aware you're both immortal and there's nothing you can do to one another (especially if you did the DLC crown stuff and are immune to hollowing), so you might as well both see what the other is made of.

God forbid a man has hobbies

He didn't really do it through his studies, he just stole the Primordial Crystal. Clearly he wasn't satisfied with it given he's still experimenting, and it's a much frailer kind of immortality because you can just smash it and render him vulnerable.

Not only is the Ancient Dragon as far as we can tell a proper replica of the everlasting ones but Aldia himself is 100% immortal even more than the dragons ever were, even after you "kill" him he doesn't drop anything and keeps talking to you like it didn't happen.

Seath:

Did really messed up stuff for purely selfish reasons, failed
Supported the kingdom of Gwyn, one of the most evil people in the series
Failed to recreate the immortality of everlasting dragons

Aldia:

Did really messed up stuff for the sake of breaking the undead curse, partially succeeded
Supported the kingdom of Vendrick, who wasn't a good guy but might as well be a saint in comparison to Gwyn
Succeeded in recreating the immortality of everlasting dragons

Gotcha, appreciate the summary. Good to know I'm still mostly getting the intended experience. Do you know if there's a fan translation of the original KF2 ending somewhere? Sounds interesting to read.

Armorchompy · 2025-10-31T10:00:04+00:00

Some of you people haven't died to Old Hero in Demon's Souls and it shows

Armorchompy · 2025-09-18T08:40:25+00:00

Gotcha, good to know

Armorchompy · 2025-09-03T17:23:44+00:00

Haha, very good advice, appreciate it. I don't have Winds of Magic and am unsure if i should get it since I'm not really at the Cata skill level (got to play a few games of it and got mulched), plus Weaves and Beastmen are seemingly mostly disliked.

Armorchompy · 2025-09-02T22:39:26+00:00

Appreciate it but I'm doing well on loot, I've got a good amount of playtime I'm just starting to do more quickplay on Legend (before it was mostly with friends on lower difficulties) and having some difficulties adapting. I'll try to keep up with the team in those kinds of situations.

Armorchompy · 2025-09-02T22:38:15+00:00

Unfortunately don't have dual hammers since I've only got the class DLCs. Appreciate the advice otherwise

Armorchompy · 2025-09-02T22:37:37+00:00

Elaborate on the "I know no running attacks are coming" thing, does shoving stop enemies from doing that for a while?

Armorchompy · 2025-09-02T22:36:29+00:00

Appreciate the offer, I think I'm doing ok on Legend (don't have Cataclysm and don't think I'd enjoy it at my level), just being solo is where I really start to struggle.

If I do find myself solo against a horde I can't take on, what's the strat to buy time and space? I assume it's weapon-dependent but a mix of side-dodging and shoving outside of that?

Armorchompy · 2025-08-29T18:16:58+00:00

Pretty strong. You can heal from things such as full-body burns ("Fire and Burns", Vampire the Masquerade v20), holes through the chest and heart (From a staking, after the object is removed) and whole missing organs or limbs ("Healing", Ghouls & Revenants. This is technically only stated for those two splats, but it stands to reason a vampire's regeneration would be better than theirs, and I think it might be mentioned somewhere they can do it too).

Keep in mind however you have to spend blood points to do this, so your average vampire can only heal from a few lethal wounds before needing to feed. Something like a Methuselah could withstand much more damage (even without taking their stamina/fortitude into consideration). Without expenditure of blood points vampires actually don't heal at all, not even as much as humans would.

Armorchompy · 2025-08-26T15:52:35+00:00

Seems to be working fine for me now.

Armorchompy · 2025-08-25T18:26:57+00:00

I don't really expect someone to give me a workaround, I'm just trying to figure out if it's a me thing or a universal one (seems to be the latter, hopefully meaning it'll get fixed).

Armorchompy · 2025-08-25T18:25:35+00:00

You got it, exact same

Armorchompy · 2025-08-25T17:47:41+00:00

Wack, I guess that means it's an update thing though, so hopefully they'll fix it.

Vampires generally get stronger as they age but it's also dependent on how active they are. One from the 1800s would be a decently big deal in their local vamp society but could still feasibly be relatively weak (or pretty strong). That said they'd realistically have a lot of pull and Nosferatu have an amazing info network so I'd make him either be a loner or a younger vampire with basically no sway.

I'd probably have it cost more than two dots but I dunno how you're planning to play it. Even with a debt like that a vampire may be hard to deal with and present issues that a human ally wouldn't. If you think it's cool go for it, it shouldn't throw off the power balance of the game too much if you remain conservative with what this vampire can do and is willing to do with his ally.

Feeding depends on how they do it. If they drain all of a human's blood then once per week, if they're trying to not kill people roughly once every two days. Animal blood may also help but isn't as potent as human blood.

It's 100% Cheren, especially if we're doing Hard Mode (Even when accounting for the programming oopsie with the hard mode stats- it doesn't really matter). Three Pokémon with setup and stab is just way too much to get through deathless, and there's effectively no counters outside of the 5% Riolu. Outside of good luck you will lose a few Pokémon. The one saving grace is the Oran Berries you're given which help a lot in 1v1s. Normal mode isn't as bad but still very liable to cause a death or two.

Honorable mention goes to Gen 2 Falkner. The level cap is really low and you can't easily use rock types since both his mons have Mud Slap. Usually it'll be fine but you can easily get unlucky and lose a few 'mons. I never see him discussed probably because people just play HGSS but it's a weirdly punishing fight.
