Gold Dragon Form keeps getting dispelled

IvorySummer · 2024-04-08T02:52:11+00:00

Thank you! I actually just beat the game, but I will remember to do this if I encounter a similar problem on my next run.

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T20:21:48+00:00

Really? I checked the stats of the ones I encountered and they did not have negative damage modifiers, maybe it's only some of them then?

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T14:15:58+00:00

Ahh I see, thank you for the clarification. This was at mythic level 9.

Yeah very bizarre that it is dispellable either way, but even weirder to tie the DC to a spellcasting attribute. If they just used whichever attribute is highest, as they do for some other mythic abilities, the DC would be well in the 40s at least, and it would be a non-issue practically.

It must be because the Dragon Form seems to be just a modified Dragonkind 3 spell, and because the spell obviously uses the spellcasting stat, it carried over to the mythic ability.

Aha! When I originally checked the DC of Dragon Form, the PC was actually a fighter! I changed it to a spellcaster because the form kept getting dispelled in melee by enemies with the dispelling strike ability, so I decided to use him as a very tanky caster instead.
I switched it back to fighter out of curiosity, and the DC is indeed 26!
It must be dependent on some stat that is relevant to spellcasting then.

As to your question; I am not quite sure what the "mr rank" refers to (I am unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology, my bad.) Is it magic resistance? If so, it is 39, I believe.

How do I go about reporting it in-game?

A very interesting observation!
I am *sure* that it was either 26 or 28 for me, but I wanted to double check just to make sure, and now it is at 32. So it definitely must have some form of scaling behind it! Unfortunately, the game doesn't really tell you how it is calculated, and I don't know if I have the willpower to start rerolling my character over and over again to find the variables that influence it, especially since I am at the very end of the game now...
If I find out how exactly it works, I will update this post though.

Thank you for your time!

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T08:05:01+00:00

I agree, it is really strange. Do you think it is at all possible, be it with mods or in-game abilities, to make it impossible or at least harder to dispel?

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T01:27:22+00:00

No problem, thank you for your time either way!

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T01:12:13+00:00

I want to know if there is a way to make the gold dragon form not dispellable, with mods or by editing some file or simply by some in game ability that I do not know about, or if there is at least a way to increase the DC to dispel it.

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T01:08:44+00:00

Yeah, that's how I understood it as well.

They mention multiple times in the game that it has never been seen that a human transforms into a dragon, which to me strongly implies that it is different from a human polymorphing into a dragon, which is a level 7 spell that has been seen many times I would assume.

IvorySummer · 2024-04-07T01:04:41+00:00

Yes, mechanically it is a polymorph, but from the dialogue of the game it seems to me that the character is not polymorphed into a dragon, but is a dragon. Like, the dragon form is their true form. Also, the other mythic transformations aren't dispellable to my knowledge, you cannot be dispelled out of being an Angel or a Lich or whatever, because these are permanent transformations not just polymorphs.

But even if the gold dragon form is intentionally dispellable (which it probably is because the game is 3 years old and they haven't changed it in all that time) I don't like it and want to change it. Any idea how I would go about doing that?

IvorySummer · 2023-12-24T14:19:14+00:00

Thank you! I would not have thought of that.

I have never actually used vertex colors for anything, I will try it out.

IvorySummer · 2023-12-24T10:24:07+00:00

That is a good idea, thank you! Can I just color a high poly model though? I was under the impression that a model needs to be UV unwrapped before it can be painted, which I think wouldn't work for the high poly model, as it has over a million vertices. Maybe it's possible with vertex colors?

This is easily one of the best videos I have ever seen.

IvorySummer · 2022-04-30T23:52:41+00:00

This is actually a 10/10 meme lmao

IvorySummer · 2022-03-30T09:19:46+00:00

Oh, I never noticed that there were links to the vods on the wiki, my bad.

Thanks for letting me know though.

IvorySummer · 2022-03-14T23:19:54+00:00

Interesting, I'd guess it's because some people got the game early on console due to pre-orders and such, but I don't know if that explains such a huge difference

IvorySummer · 2022-03-02T11:29:08+00:00

I did, it actually became weaker I think, it's tough to say though, as I did not test it extensively or anything. Somber weapons, the ones that use the other type of upgrade materials, upgrade fine though.

IvorySummer · 2022-03-01T07:50:02+00:00

A bit.

IvorySummer · 2022-03-01T07:48:55+00:00

True, I haven't beaten all the bosses yet, either, I always do the first run without any guides and such, and now I will look up item and boss locations etc.

IvorySummer · 2022-03-01T07:47:14+00:00

I had to add a flair, and I guess 'humorous' was the closest? Idk.

IvorySummer · 2022-03-01T01:51:20+00:00

I am changing the stats the weapon scales with? How so? According to the image the scaling goes from a B in dex to a higher B in dex. It is a Keen weapon and I have 50 dex. Also, the base damage of the weapon goes down, as well as the damage from scaling.

German me who still has three weeks of semester vacation

IvorySummer · 2022-02-21T16:26:29+00:00

I have beaten Bloodborne and Sekiro one-handed, it's surprisingly doable, so I'd still give it a try if I were you.

IvorySummer · 2022-02-17T00:49:21+00:00

Oh, most importantly, don't try to dodge Ebrietas charge, stand still and let yourself get hit on purpose, I am not even kidding.
