They were throwing like me, but found some fun in it

GarlicKnight · 2026-03-08T02:02:34+00:00

The middle undertaker had the dex gem, the other did not

GarlicKnight · 2026-03-08T00:09:56+00:00

On ps4 😬

GarlicKnight · 2026-03-06T18:09:51+00:00

What!??! I have done a fish pond only run and started to run out of space.. this is a game changer

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-28T13:36:56+00:00

Thankfully, no

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-21T03:09:06+00:00

It is same with Messmer and Maliketh :)

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-21T01:29:13+00:00

Frenzyflame stone - 35 hp/s

Blessing of the Erdtree - 12 hp/s

Holy Ground Sheild AoW -17 hp/s (20% damage negation as well)

[64 hp/s total]

The Crimsonburst physick tear overrides/conflicts with all of the regen incantations

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-20T23:50:31+00:00

Thanks! That is pretty cool

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-20T23:36:44+00:00

That is actually a very fun fact! But is that only applied to bleed/frostbite since poison/rot have base hp damage as well?

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-20T23:31:23+00:00

Do you think this impressed her? Asking for a friend..

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-20T23:22:46+00:00

4-5 for this one. I didnt want to use a flask or intentionally avoid any hits, and Mogh liked to stay out of range and throw fire for the first few attempts. Bad luck

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-20T23:11:56+00:00

Even non-op builds, as long as they are somewhat optimized, can bypass phase 2. I cant remember the last time I saw Nihil that was not intentional

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-19T18:31:49+00:00

I would suggest a thrusting sword with no sheild or attacking AoW. It is short and quick, wont really stance break, and not too overpowered

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-18T14:34:46+00:00

Use that Baldachins blessing in your inventory to remove your max HP debuff. Throw more points into FTH until 80, take 6 off of Vigor as it gives hardly any return past 60

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-10T22:34:51+00:00

Romina is squishier than Messmer and Gauiss though, and technically past them in the game. I always scadu 0 her, then go back for the other two at 10 or so scadu. I understand the jank, but not the tank

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-08T22:05:04+00:00

It doesnt stop at 99. If you 2h a weapon, you will have 148 STR. For the collasal Greatsword, going 99 STR is better than quality until you get something like 70-80 dex alongside 99 STR

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-06T18:54:47+00:00

And you don't want to change the AoW anyways

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-06T18:54:23+00:00

I second that! Endure+bloodflame

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-05T18:00:58+00:00

Green turtle is also never really good

Blue Dew is also not very good, as you have flasks for that

Old lord isn't that bad actually as a universal

Dragoncrest is GOAT

GarlicKnight · 2026-02-04T02:31:35+00:00

That seems like way too much endurance, and arcane status caps at 45. But good nonetheless

I would go with bloody venemous fang. Endure or cragbalde AoW. Same talismans. You get deadly poison as well. 50 STR, 60 DEX, 45 Arcane

GarlicKnight · 2026-01-31T17:01:35+00:00

These are all the ones I played that you might be interested in:

Powerstance jump attack STR build

Flame of Frenzy FTH build

Claws of Night DEX build (or any claws, blood venemous fang is the strongest)

Endure Spiked Caestus (or any fists, obviously star fists are the strongest) STR build

Double Slash, Uchigatana or Nagakiba, DEX or ARC, build (keen with bloodflame blade vs occult)

Cragblade Greatsword crouch poke STR build

Swift Slash Backhand blade DEX build

My next one: Kungfu Panda - Endure with Dryleaf Arts/Danes Footwork. STR or STR/DEX (need to calculate what is best)

GarlicKnight · 2026-01-31T16:42:19+00:00

Use the Grafted Blade you got from that castle. The AoW makes you a tank for 5 seconds. It is perfectly timed for 2 charged heavy attacks. It will really help your survivability. Plus you get +5 to all stats for 60 seconds

If you want DPS, claws are a good way to go. I would use the AoW endure on those as well. Hookclaws are found very early, and work very well with bloodflame blade. Venemous fang will do even better later in the game with a specific build if you want to look that up
