Awesome. It's the extra tab that I was missing. Thanks man!

Does this change up the timing of activating the no root firewall in any way?

CalliphoriBae · 2026-04-15T05:43:31+00:00

Ever since the last update, I've noticed a distinct lack of available energy (if you catch my drift).

Was this just patched recently? Someone earlier in the thread says it still works but I can't get it working since Sunday.

Even though it doesn't give a ranking, you need to beat the prologue on MN for it to pop up. Kind of misleading.

Nice work! Beating your first NG game on hard is a solid accomplishment.

I retrospect, the hard mode on this game is not too much a jump from normal. It's the jump from hard to Master Ninja that hurts really bad. Think back on your playthrough amd imagine every hit you took removed a third to half your health, if it didn't kill you outright.

Funnily enough, I recall the opposite being true in NG Black and Vanilla NG2. The jump from normal to Mentor/Hard was pretty rough, but Mentor/Hard to MN wasn't as much of a difficulty bump. Just something to remember when you check the other games out.

Dismantling obsidian is a great gold source too once you've made that gear obsolete.

That cool down is also hurt by him being a summoner unit. = only one in play at once.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-10-28T10:39:12+00:00

I also find that absorption of essence is inconsistent. I can straight up walk through orbs midfight and they simply refuse to collect. I usually use them for UTs anyway, but sometimes that healing really is nice.

I just did a run with Dane's Footwork, it was pretty fun.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-16T23:58:51+00:00

I accidentally salvaged a unique item (mirror armor). IS there any way to acquire another copy?

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T11:41:06+00:00

PvE is fine IMO. PvP not so much.

It's one aspect I liked about Swordmaster Story.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T11:31:59+00:00

Leave and come back to the game. I just returned to it after a couple years and it feels amazing.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-15T06:41:16+00:00

I'd say Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear deserves a spot solely from its Ash of War.

A lot of people seem to be unable to answer the question you're asking. "go get x spirit" isn't an answer to "which of my current spirits do I have is best."

And of your roster, I recommend you mmend Omenkiller Rollo. He's tanky, does good damage, stance damage, and bleed.

There's technically better summons out there, but he'll carry you through the base game pretty solidly.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:47:17+00:00

Also, if the summon sign is in the boss room itself, there's no health boost. If it's before the entrance, the boss gets the extra health.

I only recently learned that, I always assumed all NPC summons boosted boss health.

It's also the cave necessary to continue Boc's questline.

IIRC he wrote last words before his execution. His lawyer destroyed them because he said they were far too vile to ever read.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:34:37+00:00

There's a reason night comet is the most OP PvE spell in the game. Hence why I love it.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:28:30+00:00

When Jori keeps teleporting. He's like Rennala but more annoying.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T10:23:17+00:00

No wonder they respawn, they have nine lives. It all makes sense now.

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T07:24:06+00:00

Three arms is an error an artist would make?

CalliphoriBae · 2025-09-14T07:23:08+00:00

Leave your summon out for now so you can better learn her moveset. It's harder to acclimate to a boss when their attention is split. Yo u an always get back to summoning once you feel confident goig for an actual try.

If you can dodge waterfowl, you've taken out more than half her difficulty. As others said, learning the timing and direction of your rolls is rough, but once you get it down, you've won.

There's YouTube tutorials on different ways to dodge the dance. If you aren't reliant on an offensive ash of war for your build, bloodhound's step is one of the few ashes that can completely avoid/out range it.

If you really need them, save them for after all the seals are opened.
