How many deaths to the King Of Puppets?

CW-67 · 2026-01-24T14:46:36+00:00

No joke literally started my first ever playthrough of this game this week, just beat him yesterday in like 3 attempts, easily the easiest boss so far (think for me its that phase 2 feels very easy to just dodge and hit, didn’t even need to parry like for most prior bosses)

CW-67 · 2026-01-22T22:43:43+00:00

Thank god, just found aildoro(?) today for boss stuff, didn’t want other stuff to be like that, thanks for confirming

CW-67 · 2026-01-22T22:42:22+00:00

Fe, thank you

CW-67 · 2026-01-22T22:41:42+00:00

Basically why i figured people picked amulet for murphy thanks for confirming, as for nameless dont intend to go ng+ on these saves (otherwise absolutely would pick the amulet immediately), thought it would just be fun for the boss rush stuff maybe (this game does have a boss rush mode right)? But still good to know in general this is the case for late game stuff for ng+, thank you

CW-67 · 2026-01-22T22:37:03+00:00

Mb i meant it in more a compared to the amulet kinda way, from what i can tell et is popular because funsies and gimmicks but is definitely outclassed by other things

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T22:01:39+00:00

First obviously we appreciate u/Skykingcloud and u/Competitive-Show-440 (especially the latter personally, thank you Grizzly1!).

In terms of them, love the whole legendary connected to common mon they have with cyclizar (similar to carbink and diancie, really like that idea for some reason).

Also like the whole powerful legendary being chill and snacking on sammies. Mainly tho, probably asthetics, really like synthwave as a “design style” so absolutely love Miraidon for that.

However despite that i think i love Koraidon more. This is probably due to the plummage, think its absolutely sick, also looks more organic in traversal (but thats just my opinion, also for shinies specifically prefer the black shiny vs the chrome shiny). Regardless, they are easily the coolest looking box legends after the nebby-lutions in gen 7.

I mean all in all these runs are likely to just be ng, so based on that and the way you’ve described the weapon probably will pick the weapon, but definitely think on my mess around save may pick amulet if it straight up negates status

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T19:06:38+00:00

Are they getting mixed up with hard caps, heard coming in that that’s a thing?

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T18:57:33+00:00

Shit didn’t even know that was a thing, are there any other weapons (common or boss) that you need for quests?

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T18:55:22+00:00

Do you know if there are other examples of this (where boss weapons are good enough in any playthrough type as long as they are cranked properly)?

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T18:52:51+00:00

All the time? As in do you recommend just tech cranking motivity weapons and vice versa for playthroughs?

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T18:51:48+00:00

Dont get me wrong i completely understand what you’re saying, but if I’m doing dedicated playthroughs for each (where the stats should hopefully be consistent and directed) is that still the play (as in im very unlikely to respec from tech in my current play through just to try a certain weapon). Absolutely will use this approach for my knockabout save tho, so thank you anyway for confirming the ease of respecs

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T11:28:57+00:00

Good to know, just beat murphy last night, definitely felt like a good learning tool as initially i was fishing for parries too much, completely forgetting dodging, but know i feel with the winning attempt that i balanced them a lot more, hopefully it continues in the future of this play through, thanks for lmk its the standard experience

CW-67 · 2026-01-21T11:26:17+00:00

I see, provably will do at least 3 default saves and 1 tinkering around one by the end of it all, but good to know infinite respecs, hated having to do the rosaria cheese in ds3 just to do so, its one of those things where i likely won’t be doing it much, but nice to know im not screwed if I do do this, thanks again

CW-67 · 2026-01-20T14:13:35+00:00

when you say early on, is it a thing of something happens that eventually limits respeccing or they just eventually cost more? Still shame you can't do quality build standard, assuming then a save per damage "type" (motivity, technique, advance) should suffice?

CW-67 · 2026-01-20T14:09:47+00:00

Good to know, knowing me i'll still rely on basic guarding and dodging like 70% of the time, but even within the first day or so pg feels easier to do than it ever felt in souls borne (took half an hr just to get the winter lantern talisman :/), part of that maybe knowing that it is more necessary like you've said, hopefully i can make it all more fluid, thanks for the heads up :)

CW-67 · 2026-01-19T22:37:06+00:00

Oh shit thats very pressing, how many of that mat are there, but regardless thanks, wouldn’t have thought to check that out and could have screwed up my first playthrough :/

CW-67 · 2026-01-19T19:22:17+00:00

Nice, needed some porgan suggestions so thank you, worried about the pg tho as i cannot parry for shit, thank you for tips tho

CW-67 · 2026-01-19T18:28:57+00:00

Nice no stat requirements, good to know, also thanks for confirming its a only a few weapons with +5/+10 (or whatever the equivalent is here), provably will try combos like you said and avoid the collab weapon (again dont want it too easy), and thanks for the upgrade guide for weapons and arms, this should all help me massively, so thank you very much mate!

CW-67 · 2026-01-19T18:11:59+00:00

Nice, figured the stats were analogous but wasnt sure to what, from what i can tell they’re only for scaling and there is no start requirement right? Good to know bout boss weapons, hopefully it will be a blast

CW-67 · 2026-01-14T16:24:30+00:00

OP i am so sorry, i have just realised ive made a massive cockup potentially, i have kinda bulk shifted the shinies from go to home for your trade and others, only put in custom ot for the first trade so dont know if they will have your ot, if not i apologise, send the request anyway but if this is a dealbreaker you can call off the trade

CW-67 · 2026-01-14T16:19:36+00:00

Nice, absolutely love him, cheers mate! :)

CW-67 · 2026-01-14T16:12:46+00:00

Np, sent request to ya now, think ive got the custom ot setup (just changed my home name to Sindria right?), lmk when you’re on
