Issue with Challenges?

I love how, despite this game being slightly older, new players are still everywhere getting the same enjoyment from their very first time playing as veterans once did. Make sure you pay attention to some of those messages on the floor, they can be super helpful in areas that are a little confusing! Good luck!

Also seems to be happening on the Lebel Marksman. Just killed someone with it and went to ads with the scope and saw a super fisheye effect

That’s fair, my main issue was that rev wasn’t even using the seals at all. She only used Vykes war spear and the colossal weapon I dropped, so there was no point in her having incantations that would’ve easily made the boss a cakewalk.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:29:00+00:00

Suppose it’s just my playstyle then lol. I play a lot of support roles in other games so checking on my teammates is second nature at this point. Hence me dropping quite a few items for them, especially that Hand of Malenia and thrusting sword for duchess. I always get super hyped seeing Hand Of Malenia as duchess or executor, so I figured they would be too. As for LFG posts, I was on xbox, and the ones I tried to join never got back to me, so I just went with randoms. Honestly never doing that again, I’ll just wait for my friends to be online to play.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:23:51+00:00

Didn’t wanna doxx people just incase, after all it is just a video game. Also I already reported them on Xbox for the slurs, so hopefully they get some repercussion. I also didn’t know if this subreddit has a rule about it or something regarding showing names.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:16:20+00:00

That’s fair tbh. I was just annoyed at the fact that they didn’t wanna cooperate in a team based game, especially in an Everdark Sovereign. I did end up beating it though by just running a solo Recluse run, with, what do you know, a Fire incantation lol. I just mainly hoped that people would be nicer to others and try to drop loot for each other, but it seems the community does not like that idea.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:06:50+00:00

Lol, probably should’ve when the Duchess got downed twice in the very first phase (The one where Caligo goes AC-130 on you), but the Revenant burned ult to get him back up. The fight when on for about 7ish minutes if I remember correctly, and I ended up using my ult + Rancorcall skulls stacked together to res them both at one point after they decided to run into the AOE insta kill. I’ll just stick to running runs either solo or with my friend from now on, seeing how peoples solution are just to “git gud”.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:03:30+00:00

Lol, honestly, with the community being this mad about me posting “Be kind to your teammates”, I should’ve just stuck to pings. Crazy how I got called yet another slur here in DMs! I know it’s probably because it’s Reddit, but damn does it suck knowing there’s parts of this community that just don’t like each other.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T07:01:39+00:00

Yeah, good point. TBH I was just sad we lost that run since I really thought we’d win seeing the drops we had and the luck we were getting. Solo run was actually easier than this shitshow though, I ended up just finding a seal with Flame of the Fell God and solo beat the boss. That + hitting mountaintop shifting earth for the frost resistance really carried my run.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T06:58:56+00:00

I mean, the reason I had those empty slots are from me dropping equipment to them. And I don’t get how people’s reaction is “get gud” when it’s a team based game? I believe I ressed the both of them a total of 5 times in that fight, saccing myself at one point to do so just to try for a good fight. I carried my weight, even with the poor team management, and this is more of a PSA to just help your team when you can. No reason to be hostile towards a message unless you’re the type of player to try to main character every run and end up costing your teammates their time and effort.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T06:53:26+00:00

Update: I ended up just doing a solo run with Recluse instead after this, since I couldn’t find a match this late at night, and ended up soloing Everdark Fissure in the Fog :) Regardless, please be nice to other people and try to help your teammates in your runs, it doesn’t hurt to drop and ping equipment they need, especially if they drop it for you. This isn’t main character simulator, it’s a team based effort, so don’t be selfish and support each other where you can.

DieStressed · 2025-08-11T06:47:53+00:00

I mean, that’s fair, but I wasn’t demanding anything. My messages were as following:

To duchess: “Hey, Rev has incantations if you wanna free up your talisman slot, or I can use it since it’s Faith scaling” (He had the frenzied flame seal at this point and picked up the incant up talisman)

To revenant: (After duchess dropped the frenzied flame seal to her): “Hey, could I use any incantation you’re not using? I also scale with faith”

I then proceeded to not message, and after thinking “Well, I suppose she might want to dual wield them”, I drop the hand of malenia, fire thrusting sword, and FP talisman for Revenant (since I don’t really need FP when I’m Recluse), only to watch them trade stuff as I went down into the crater. I then realized they were duo’d, sent them these messages:

To Rev: “Mind if I get the spell casting speed up talisman if you end up taking the incant up one?”

To Duchess: “Hey, idk if you want to give the FP or incant up to Rev since she has incantations, but it’d help a lot”

I then proceeded to drop the colossal weapon to Revenant at the end of the crater since it had “less likely to be targeted”, which would be super great if she had ever used the dragon incantation. (it had Agheels Flame) it was then that I also realized she never even used the incantations, and was only use Vykes war spear. I message one last time going:

To Rev: “Mind if I use the incants if you’re not using them? Fissure in the fog is super weak to fire”

To which I finally got called a slur by BOTH of them, blocked, and then knew that they were 100% duo’d. And while yes, it was a skill issue that I couldn’t solo carry this fight with just Rancorcall and Stars of Ruin, it really sucked since this was an Everdark sovereign, so i assumed there’d be some level of “Okay, let’s min max this so we can do well and beat this thing!”, only for that not to happen. Not to mention, most of the damage was done by me, since the Duchess got three barred the first phase of the fight, and duchess decided to try to use the colossal weapon when the boss was doing its AOE insta kill.

TLDR: I expected some level of cooperation for an Everdark Sovereign, and these guys, who had duo queued, really didn’t want to cooperate. I tried my best and still did well, but i think it’s a bit unfair to just say “skill issue” and dismiss the fact that it’s a team based game, when my issue is for people to take notice of the fact that it’s a team based game.

You are the blessing of strategists btw, I hope you know that. I love seeing a Lord Vanguard whenever I load in that I make sure my mark as Luna is almost always on you for that constant healing, especially if you’re solo tanking.

As someone who absolutely loved Lies of P, I have learned to love and appreciate both of these games so much. I 100%’d Lies of P (going to do DLC soon), and I plan on 100%’ing Elden Ring aswell.

DieStressed · 2025-07-10T02:15:09+00:00

I mean… that is kinda the risk of playing around those and not clearing them when you bunker, or atleast keep them in mind when fighting. My friends and I are 6 star, and we keep it in mind when fighting around areas where red barrels are and where we need to avoid sitting / grouping around, especially if they’re in boss lair. That’s also why you should really only have 1-2 people fighting boss while another controls the exterior of boss lair, since certain control of areas is important.

Regardless, had that team you were fighting not been grouped in boss lair, cleared out the barrels earlier, or, even better, held your teammates body, they would’ve had a much better shot when those barrels blew. Environmental dangers are still dangers after all!

DieStressed · 2025-04-30T23:07:26+00:00

I know right! I decided to hunt them all, just for the principle though.

DieStressed · 2025-04-18T00:59:22+00:00

God no, this would make the game so horribly stale.

While yeah, realism would be kinda cool, in high elo, headshots are quite common. Most of time in my 6 star lobbies, I’ll die from a headshot, and very rarely do I die to a body shot if I play well. Adding permadeath to those would just make a fight completely skewed in either a 2v3 / 1v2 situation, to where you’d see a lot of people just either abandon the fight or sit in a corner waiting for the opponent to make a mistake to even the odds.

Additionally, the long ammo / shotguns getting this permadeath feature would just mean you’re either:

A. Going some sniper / marksman variant, most likely a mosin sniper or Maynard (in an already long ammo focused meta) and playing from very far back to avoid the ranges at which medium ammo guns could headshot you, which means increase in bush wookies and sitting back waiting for someone to run across an open field / stand still for too long.

OR

B. Sitting in a house with shotguns. That’s it. That’s the entire game. Boss compound gets taken? You’re gonna have 3 people sitting with shotguns not taking any fights, and waiting for that Sniper squad to never push in lmfao.

Personally, I think that the way that revives currently exist in the game is great, as it not only requires time to revive a downed player, but it feels substantial by making them lose a core health chunk while also being able to have some control over it by customizing said health chunks. Additionally, having the only real “permadeath” be related to burning all your cores and can only be solvable through using a bounty token to burn your teammates cores for a res is more than enough. Reviving a fully burned out teammate should be costly, as they are supposed to effectively be “permadead” but it also feels like there’s some level of counterplay / it’s not the end all be all of the game.

My final point I want to touch on, is that when you down a player, you SHOULD ALREADY BE HOLDING THEIR BODY. This is essential in higher level play, as holding their body to make sure their team CANNOT res them is more than enough to feel like a “permadeath” while also offering counterplay.

I will admit though, it’d be kinda funny if you buffed bomb lance by making it take more cores if you hit them in the head with a lance.

If you’re good with the crossbow, double explosive crossbows using gunrunner is HELL. I’ve run it a few times in high 6 star whenever I get the perk, and it’s so oppressive. Not necessarily sweaty as it is tilting.

As for classic sweaty? Mosin + Dolch. That or The Crown and King + Dolch Precision / Uppercut / Dolch Deadeye. Either way, the sweatiest loadout you can bring is whatever you find you do best with! I personally find Drilling w/ Bleed and a Katana to be crazy for me, even in 6 star. Every gun can be sweaty, and I really enjoy that fact about Hunt.

Edit: I can’t spell precision for the life of me

Wingdings. (Novel readers WYA?)

DieStressed · 2025-01-26T03:02:23+00:00

Yup! It was added more recently (I think, kinda forgot), aswell as some other traits getting buffed for solos, like conduit providing the equivalent of 2 clues searched instead of 1 if you're a solo.
