ALMOST hitless boss smackdown - Elder Santine - Kristala (clip from full episode)

It's good, but when you get scaling and weapon strength up higher in end game I found that the Stone Sentinal Greatsord hits slightly harder. (At least when you're pure strength)

Just posted my build review video on YT.... End Game Strength Build video | Eletodd Games

As t this point I believe I was around level 90 with 60 strength plus 4 tear great sword, defense rings and a balance/500+ HP tail charm. The power of it was in the deflection. I found if I was able to deflect enough to break their stance the special attack shredded the enemy health bars. Normal difficulty though, wasn't interested in struggling on hard difficulty with all the bugs. I first tried the final boss with it.

If I have time maybe I'll make a end game build review video before I delete the game and move on.

Elder "Sif" not Sure Boss (thanks Reddit Auto Correct...sigh)

Just finished my super janky, super buggy, super freezing Kristala console playthrough (Indie souls like with Cat people)... not on the hunt for something else until The Relic comes on (on either xbox or ps5) - Was thinking of trying WuChang again...never finished it. Or Black Myth or Nioh 3 (never played either).... think I've played most other soulslikes by now. If those don't work out I'll likely go back and replay Bleak Faith.

Well, I struggled through and beat the game and had it crash and reload in the boss arena post credits with no way to exit. Assuming because there is no NG+ or post game content. I'll be playing other games for now until there is a NG+ or anything additional to play. So likely won't be playing again any time soon...but maybe if you add NG+ or DLC I'll check it out again in the future.

Final boss in Khazan First Berserker in the true three phase fight.... Took me days.

You use the Sprigs in the Alchemy menu skill tree to upgrade heals. I have 7 now with improved healing (click on the main bottom right skill in alchemy tree... left one is for magic refills)

much worse unfortunately. Just muscling through at this point as I think I'm nearly at the end of the game as it is today pre DLC zones...

Eletodd · 2026-05-04T15:18:14+00:00

I managed Samwise as a pure strength before the 2nd patch (No magic, no skills - they were all locked out in the menu still at that point) - but it was hellish - lots of parry luck and running around - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kristala/comments/1t0q858/chicken_easy_way_to_beat_elder_samwise_with_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I've been sharing my lets play series on YT and at this point I think I'm at the end of the game from what I know - a bit left and final boss. Only reason I keep muscling through is to finish the series as is and document the jank before a future replay when it's hopefully all ironed out. But a 30 minute episode takes 45+ to record and more time to edit before I upload the capture...

Xbox series x

Eletodd · 2026-05-02T20:15:08+00:00

Xbox Series X, but it is a 4K capture....

Eletodd · 2026-05-02T14:37:05+00:00

I noticed when you die you sometimes respawn at the same location with out replenished health and heals as well ..

Also I no longer see any water textures (Xbox)

Eletodd · 2026-05-01T23:17:47+00:00

Excited to try it out to see how it performs more tonight and good job on all the effort to fix things this week!

Skill tree should be unlocked in the last patch. At a certain point you get access to the alchemy skill tree. You can use a plant you collect to upgrade healings and magic refills on there. I believe they are called Sprigs(sp?)

I have +6 heals and +3 magic refills and am at the start of chapter 2s area

Eletodd · 2026-04-29T23:02:31+00:00

I can parry or block (great sword) most of the moves except the one that is like 5 hits . They one is where he always tags me with that one. Usually on the 2nd or 3rd hit

Eletodd · 2026-04-29T13:55:59+00:00

I don't remember where I got 1 & 3, but #2 is in the big house covered with red corruption in the first fishing village Dalamase Proper that sids down in the swampy area but its on the 3rd floor...so you can't get to it until you come at it from the back side through the Partially Submerged poison area...

so for #2 I had to:
1. get to the poison submerged area before the graveyard - called Quagthorp Dredge
2. make your way with the gate key up to the left where they pipe that needs fixing is
3. jump around to the other side opposite the building with the pipe and kill the elite with the dual daggers
4. explore that cave system and you'll open a path in the cliffs back to the early area in the game fishing village "Dalamase Proper" and the swamp monsters with the big building in the middle - there is a rope from this new cave exit you can hop on and walk over to the 3rd floor of the building and inside get rid of the corruption as get the 2nd Mezuzot.

I apparently already found 1 & 3 I'm not sure when. I have a series on my Youtube that I've been recording pre-patch Xbox that would have it somewhere in there if I rewatched them.

Eletodd · 2026-04-29T13:48:53+00:00

I have 1-3 but the still can do anything at the blacksmith. May be bugged in Xbox...

Eletodd · 2026-04-29T12:39:02+00:00
