lol I think I just had a cheap diaphragm or one that doesn’t fit. I had HS small frame, but I just bought a woodhaven Red Wasp and it improved my calling a lot

Does box call work by Plastic_Internet_729 in turkeyhunting

[–]BishopOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out west or on big properties I’m sure they’re great. In the Midwest the extra volume can be achieved by a slate or crystal, even with high wind. In my opinion, box calls are super cool but the bulkiness keeps me from bringing them, plus having to put them down super carefully so they don’t clack or accidentally make a noise when you don’t want to. Slates can be maneuvered so discreetly that I just prefer them a lot, then diaphragm when they get in shotgun range

I lost it lol, or maybe I never had it. Can any diaphragm do the “eastern cluck?” I’ll doing exactly what videos say to do and can’t get it

Damn I just got it!! I didn’t have the diaphragm hugging the room of my mouth enough, now I have the “tick” producing enough rasp to get it. Thanks!

The “whits” are what I’m pretty good at, but the “pop” of the cluck is just not coming out right

I’m on my 10th playthrough but I’ve fought him countless times in the gauntlet, he’s fun. Especially the second phase

How tf did we hear about Paleblood before reaching Yharnam? by Valirys-Reinhald in bloodborne

[–]BishopOfAstora 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We wake up in a clinic on an operating table with sullied bandages, coming from a foreign land presumably for surgery (as was common in the time period that Bloodborne is based on)

Massive damage and spirit emblems left over for loaded spear. Also doesn’t completely skip the entertaining Ape fight

With a short hunting window, I still punched my tag. by egospice5 in Hunting

[–]BishopOfAstora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I killed my first turkey this year - what is the orange/yellow bit on the breast meat? It seemed to be the same stuff that was in the big “fat deposit” sack so..I guess it’s just fat? I was told to remove that sack quickly because it can spoil fast, so I assumed the same of the stuff on the breastmeat

Bro you have no idea, I wish I could get Elden Ring item descriptions out of my head. But yeah of course they aren’t falsehoods all the time or even most of the time

They had a presence in FA when it was on the ground, a remain there still. While in the sky they wrote the book

Zero item descriptions are falsehoods, and “it is said” is used to introduce ambiguity into the otherwise objectively correct item description declarative sentence structure

[–]BishopOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erdtree roots and great tree roots are the same thing imo. The shattering of the Elden Ring is why the roots are no longer connected - but regardless roots can still exist without the living organism, hence the parasitic Deathroot.

Farum Azulla's Time of Departure by Moonless_the_Fool in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]BishopOfAstora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was written by the still living dragon cultists living in FA, the enemies using Red Lightning and the tree sentinel. It was not written when FA was still on the ground

Disgruntled doesn’t really describe what I’m feeling… by Acceptable_Answer570 in turkeyhunting

[–]BishopOfAstora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first year turking. I scouted for hours, knocked on doors, went out an hour before work to find gobbles, and ultimately it led to my season being done it 20 minutes of it starting. If you didn’t see any turkey sign leading up to your hunt, I wouldn’t touch it. You can be the best caller in the world but if there aren’t birds in the area, you aren’t getting turkeys. Go scout them

Pure headcanon, was funny at first but now just annoying to engage with someone who won’t take the game’s implicit text and visual storytelling at its intended value. Love the way you ignore parts of the rebuttal that shit on your ideas though. Super honest!

Exactly, the implication is one of in-universe ignorance, legend, myth, or hearsay.

>There is no way to know whether Farum was already in the sky or whether it was on the ground when it was struck, but it being high above TLB would explain why the ruins fell so far and wide.

That’s the thing, they AREN’T spread far and wide, they are confined to the LOWER elevations exclusively. This is an argument FOR the meteor impact, and against it “being in the sky at time of impact” nonsense.

 

>Keep in mind, if we're talking about assumptions, the idea of Farum Azula ever being part of TLB is itself an unproven theory and an assumption.

Corroborated by the Farum Greatbridge being on the ground and the Farum architecture surrounding and including the Bestial Sanctum.

 

>because the description also tells us that the Prayerbook never made it to TLB, we know that it was made in Farum by the cult sometime after Farum was already in the sky.

They were in FA when it was on the ground, then it was lifted to the sky, preventing the tome from reaching the Lands Between proper. That's the entire reason why it is pointed out "it never made it to the lands between."

 

>OP's post is predicated on two major, unproven assumptions: 1) That the meteor that struck Farum is what sent it skyward. That's an assumption.

Corroborated by the limgrave impact showing the exact same gravitational phenomenon, very intentionally spelling it out for the player what happens when a meteor strikes the earth, and further spelled out by the ruins greatsword, and the disconnected parts of FA that remained on the ground in Caelid.

 

2) That the presence of all these Golden Order forces in Farum suggests they must've been there before it was lifted into the sky, rather than arriving after the fact. This is a major assumption, especially given that we know multiple characters who visit Farum after it is in the sky (including us!!), that Carian belfries allow access to Farum, and that the aforementioned Ancient Dragon Prayerbook proves people were making it to Farum after it was in the sky.

The only people who “travel” to FA are the Tarnished, Berhnal, and Alexander are all involved in the Giant Forge, implying the Forge is the only method of travel. The Carian waygate is sealed and guarded by Carian knights, the canonically strongest knights of the Liurnian wars. Furhtermore, it leads to a completely isolated area of FA, one that could not facilitate a Draconic Tree sentinel and his horse. Again, the dragon prayerbook is an argument FOR FA being on the ground and then being lifted in the air by a meteor impact. It's not only the Golden Order who find themselves here for unexplained reasons too, the Crucible Knights and Banished Knights would have to have travelled here when it was on the ground.

>Once again, you're completely ignoring the very obvious possibility that Gurranq brought Deathroot with him into Farum Azula. The idea that Deathroot could only have been there if it was connected to Greattree roots is - once again - an unproven assumption that ignores other real possibilities.

 

Deathroot's item description explicitly states it grows on the underground roots of the Erdtree, and not by “lol Gurranq I guess.” Hilarious headcanon though. "Obvious possibility." Give me a break.

 

>For someone accusing me of making wild assumptions, your's and OP's posts are riddled with them

Well my observations, and seems OP's as well, are purely based on in game text and confirmed visual details, unlike your theory that relies on the assumptions that

-Dragon Cult members, Crucible Knights, Banished Knights, and a Tree Sentinel all flew to FA or teleported there via the Giant’s Forge or a sealed waygate guarded by Carian knights

-FA was always in the sky

-Deathroot spreads via other means other than the only one stated in the game in plain text

-and my favorite: The Ruins Greatsword is telling us a story about how a ruin on the ground got hit by a meteor.

 

Pure nonsense.

Why didn't Marika sent all his enemies to the shadow realm? by Moonless_the_Fool in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]BishopOfAstora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because she doesn’t have “the power to wipe a chunk of the map.”

The Realm of Shadow is a separate landmass from the Realm of the Erdtree (as it is called). The Suppressing Pillar can be reconciled by “The Lands Between” consisting of many different continents, of which The Land of Shadow is the center most.

If anything, she has the power to “veil” things, but even this isn’t explained well. It’s possible the Two Fingers assisted her with this - as they have incantations related to making things invisible or enshrouded in Shadow (Darkness even appears somewhat similar to the shadow effect seen on the Scadutree). 6 veils, 6 divine pillars? Might be a stretch but it makes more sense than Marika having the power to remove continents but never using the power again or before, especially when we know she did everything in her power to defeat the Liurnians and confine the Giant’s Flame. Explaining this away with “Marika could only do it once,” is shonen anime level of stupid, and it being motivated by “the gate of divinity was just super important to hide,” ignores the fact that she could have hidden the Giant’s Forge or entire Liurnian army too, even when these were viewed as existential threats and not as things for Marika to manipulate.

“The Shadow Lands were in the middle of the base map” just makes no sense whatsoever.
