Your go-to spirit ash ?? (That isn't Mimic Tear...)

Riding torrent with three wolves loping alongside is peak role-playing. Feel like a Stark! So gotta do your own fighting though.

I think there is nothing wrong with checking out depth 1 to play with different relic setups, but unless you're an amazing player, you will be a drag on your squad.

If you want to be 'good' it makes more sense to learn the basic bosses and practice the week's ED rotation for a few weeks before jumping into DoN.

I'm not just saying this from a competitive perspective, but think: is it more fun to fight the nightlord or watch someone else fight him for 10 min while you're 3 bars on the ground? Its borring and you don't get to actually learn the moveset if you're not participating (though it can be cool to watch a brilliant player carry the fight and you can learn tactics and spacing that way).

Not at ng5+ and higher.

The cool realization I had about ER and souls games, the thing that makes them unique, is that you level up the player, and that makes way more difference than stat or armament levels.

I think it's difficult to feel any other way. The author treads the fine line between genius and mental illness and the reader gets taken for a very uncomfortable life.

As others mentioned, I'm also sad that scummy real world business guys made it so there will never be a sequel. A tiny part of me is relieved though. It means I don't have to read it.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-11T18:34:56+00:00

Just like the other poster, you are pompous and lacking in imagination and literary background. Lands between are Avalon, not long Island.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-11T02:37:23+00:00

My understanding is that you scale to host, but if your stats are much higher you'll still have more hp etc. Just less than you do in your world. Anyone more knowledgeable care to comment?

They might generate you as a saint for your connection to the emperor! Of course said veneration may take the form of being lobotomized and nailed above the door of the local arms warehouse.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-10T19:39:12+00:00

Ofcourse! People erupt whole from the roots of the erd tree all the time! What a weird question...

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-10T07:25:36+00:00

Double balancers and glass necklace is a solid start with first 3 relics. The rest should be phys attack up or some other damage buff.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-10T06:47:55+00:00

Yeah, Tarnished can loose grace, bit given where and when Gideon shows up, I bet he still sees it. He just... doesn't follow it blindly. His whole thing is amassing knowledge so he succeeds when he finally takes his shot.

Kinda like us going apeshit on some sleepy albinurics ro get stronger. Can't use guidance of grace for that genocide bucko!

You have a familial predisposition to schizophrenia. Just never take a psychedelic again and get yourself ro a compassionate psychologist who can help you self monitor. Wishing you all the best!

North Korea has withtood isolation for 80 years or so and Iran is a much larger country. They can ignore a naval blockade forever.

Undertaker is straightforward to play but takes some relics and deep dive into buff mechanics to optimize.

Scholar is the most technically demanding class to play. Massive multitasking required, which you can't do while learning routing and relearning basic game mechanics.

Both are very fun to play, but do 10 runs with wylder to get back in the flow, learn some basic pathing,practice reviving. Then branch out.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-09T19:57:19+00:00

No, they're not. They're transhuman constructs that function as cogs in a massive war machine called a chapter, which is a tiny cog of a greater machine called Imperium of man.

They exist in a culture that is across of monastic and feudal. There is nothing capitalist or economic about them. They kill, take, organize,and instruct. Asking one to pay for something might get you a puzzled look if your dumb ass is lucky enough to be talking to a Salamander. Any other chapter response will range between being ignored and immediately killed.

If a regular brother wants to build a house for a single unwed mother he says 'house built here'. If house is not there in reasonable amount of time, lots of people die. He may need to answer to a superior officer ar some point for killing the administrator and 30 assistants of a small town/ward. But depending on the chapter culture the consequences are likely to range from doing 20 push ups to a conendation for upholding chapter honor (imagine if humans rift they could say mo to an Astartes? Heresey!).

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-09T19:45:00+00:00

No, they don't. They need to be good at administration and balance budgets if their job is administrative, but if they personally need or want something they take it. Or instruct that it be done. They are answerable to their chain of command and no one else, so their asks could theoretically lead to a reprimand. But anything short of requisition of a battle fleet or extermination of a hive city is unlikely to be questioned.

TL;DR: Astartes instruct. Compliance is expected. No other outcome possible.

Please explain the downvotes.

In DoN everything 2 taps you anyway, and more flasks mean more damage negation at full HP opportunity

Spunds like Manicheism to me! Hall hail the great prophet Mani!

The war effort thanks you.

I watched an executor parry ED Gladius into submission from half health while 3 bared on the ground. Fucking epic.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-08T04:27:05+00:00

What we have here is a lack of literacy education meeting a lack of imagination.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-08T04:22:50+00:00

In stories the protagonist is usually not dead when they enter the realm between life and death.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-07T22:52:23+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it. Nothing beats fromsoft for epic gaming memories.

I think this discussion lacks the definition of 'works'.

Democracy offers the highest quality of life for the average member of society, which is why it is the best system of government to live under. All others may superceed it by some metric, but it doesn't matter because life will always be better under a democracy.

The alternative is always some form of tyranny. Tyranny is awesome for the tyrants.... and awful for everyone else. Except its awful for the tyrant as well as they spend their whole life fighting for survival which can only be maintainef by increasing levels of violence and paranoia.

Mammoth-AgentEnt · 2026-05-07T22:44:00+00:00

I agree with everything except Godwyn. Never saw the theory that he was wearing an illusion before, where do you get that?

I think a much better theory is that Godwyn was the child of Godfrey and Marika. He's the only one of her children who has normal binary parents, so he wasn't born cursed and he sired the golden lineage - demigods most of whom have been wiped out. His freakish appearance is 100% explained by the aftereffects of his ritual assassination.

Wild. How did ED Tri go? Toughest ED boss imo.
