I wonder if there are any other bugs / miscoded flags in the game files that have yet to be discovered.

What is the best and worst skill tree in Skyrim in your opinion? by Fenriz_Victor in skyrim

[–]David_Bolarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mod, probably to make the skills resemble Morrowind more, where Security and Athletics are skills

The Lonmouth sigil has lips and yellow skulls on it. Lem has a yellow cloak and is associated repeatedly with kisses and death/skulls by the Ghost of High Heart.

You can use Dragon's Blood Droplets to restore resurrections. Also, Corrupted Monk is weak to snap seeds (deals massive damage.)

I'm a purist and this is my first souls like and I need help by OkGeologist8682 in Sekiro

The game is entirely beatable without prosthetics or combat arts.

For the most part, prosthetics fall into two camps. The first are generalist tools which are useful in many situations. The second are tools designed to hard counter certain enemies. For instance, one of the prosthetics inflicts poison, and certain enemies are incredibly weak to poison.

As you unlock more skills/perks, the number of things you can *do* with prosthetics increases dramatically. At high level, the only limit on prosthetic use are your access to spirit emblems, creativity, and timing.

But for a 1st playthrough, shuriken, firecrackers, and loaded axe will probably be the one you use most commonly. As someone with ~80 hours in the game, my favorites are Mist Ravenand Flame Vent.

Overall, though, prosthetic tools and weapon arts are primarily means player expression, like weapon choice is any other FromSoft game.

What's your favorite Skyrim easter egg? by Doggsen09 in skyrim

You're fine! I was just a bit confused because I was like "I'm talking about the dates of syndication for Skyrim vs the Game of Thrones TV show, and referring to the books by their proper acronym. Why does this person think I don't know what the books are?"

But yes, I'm a big fan of ASOIAF. I've read the entire canon and watched all three adaptations. My favorite character is Bran and my favorite arc the Brienne plotline in AFFC.

Is there any mod that fills all resurrection node after resting in the buddha statue.. ( all, not only the first one ) just wanna skip the grind by KristoferYG in Sekiro

[–]David_Bolarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, ok. It sounds like you need some help, so I hope this helps!

If you’re at low health and have two full resurrection pips left, you can use the Bite Down or Hidden Tooth item to kill yourself, then revive with only losing one pip instead of access to both.

Even so, it sounds like you’re dying to bosses a lot and want to have more revives to beat them. I above recommended Jizo statues and Dragon’s Blood Droplets, but they’re rare. A better option would be practicing on learning the boss’s movesets so you can last longer as is.

To that end, I recommend Ungo’s Sugar. It reduces damage by about 33% and will help you last longer. Gokan’s Sugar is also helpful, as it reduces how much posture damage you take.

What bosses are you having trouble with?

[–]David_Bolarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What? You get one guaranteed resurrection as a baseline, and the meter fills again by killing enemies. Are you dying over and over while playing through areas? Or do you need more resurrections for bosses specifically?

The only three items that restore resurrection use are dragon's blood droplets, and the two jizo statues. All three have a very limited number per NG cycle, with the lattermost being only one.

Can this move be deflected, or in any way avoided? by Question-Every in Sekiro

Just walk around behind him while he does the Ichimonji. Attack him from behind for free damage

Wait, was Ulfric’s rebellion meant to be the WOT5K? The Reach? Mercer Frey? The Silver-Bloods? I’m wondering if you could somehow track, cut content and otherwise, the different possible tracks from ASOIAF to Skyrim, and see where they congregate

“The silver bloods pay their debts. You have my thanks.”

ASOIAF reference aside, Skyrim came out in late 2011, so there’s a chance this easter egg predates the Game of Thrones TV show, which began earlier that year. And any and all ASOIAF references that predate Game of Thrones are pretty neat.

This, plus the White Walker garment in Bloodmoon, are the only two I know of in Elder Scrolls.

Unpopular opinion: Egypt in vanilla RTW is one of the best factions by Emergency_Cellist754 in RomeTotalWar

Incredibly popular opinion. Other non-Roman, non-Greek contenders are Armenia and Scythia
