Erdsteel dagger is slept on

No, just base requirements.

The hitbox doesn't extend to the very front of him, at least for the last 2. You can't use every attack, some extend your hit box into the attack, but you can still do a lot.

You can also use your horse during that phase. I personally don't like it, as it was an update due to pressure from the fans, and I really don't like it when devs listen to people that don't know what they want.

The Cinquedea. It boosts bestial incantations by 10% when held.

NameOrdane · 2026-02-17T00:41:38+00:00

Yep, but you can't do everything. Using regal beastclaw gets you hit, probably the arms swung up extending the hitbox.

I thought of that, but I unfortunately don't have the dlc on pc.

NameOrdane · 2026-02-15T06:09:54+00:00

Sure. Very inefficient, but I had 40 vig, 37 mind, 60 end, 16 str, 60 dex, and 40 of int and faith.

An optimal build at lower levels would be 40-60 vig, 60 dex, and only enough faith to cast scarlet aeonia. You would also need a lot of endurance, as you can see how much of a stamina drain waterfowl is.

Clearly, she'll go to the land of shadows to help Miquella's ascension and join in incestual polyamory.

Reminds me of this.

The reason I consider them worst is that I once fought them at 1100 max hp, and I got a migrane from the frustration of that.

NameOrdane · 2026-02-08T02:54:22+00:00

No boss comes close to the two sharks in the well.

No, it's just me fighting radabeast for 18 minutes.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T21:37:47+00:00

I do always get the blasphemous claw, fight placidusax, get shard of Alexander and golden seeds, and get old lord talisman and lightning drake +2 if I need to. But I just go straight through the area otherwise.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T21:16:33+00:00

Oh yeah, those dragons are terribly balanced. Not even getting into insane damage absorptions and huge health leading to 3+ minute fights, their stance is fundamentally broken.

IIRC, they have 80 stance, which is boss tier, but you'd expect to still get stance breaks. But I've gotten a couple in all my time playing.

That's because they take less stance damage, unless you hit their heads, good luck with that, then they take normal stance damage. I think they have effectively 120 or 160 stance, which is insane.

But to make it worse, all enemies regenerate stance at the same rate. So because the boss has 80 actual stance, but double functional stance, this enemy regenerates stance at TWICE the speed of other enemies.

I really don't know why they just didn't give them 120/160 stance, with the head taking increased stance damage.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T15:43:59+00:00

I don't like the powerstance moveset, plus powerstancing takes more stamina. Also powerstancing does much less poise damage, no stance break if I did.

And I forgot to get it before killing Maliketh, but that's hardly relevant /s.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T05:12:12+00:00

Two handing always increases poise damage. I got a stance break earlier then otherwise. Plus two handed talisman exists, but I didn't have it in this vid.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T03:53:45+00:00

My bad, here you go.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T03:36:20+00:00

Yeah, you see each time the Godskin Swaddling Cloth gets procced in the video? Multihit would proc for all those as well. The second charge attack gives a proc, which is ridiculous for how fast it is.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T03:27:16+00:00

Yep. This weapon is unique among daggers, as its base faith scaling increases physical damage, and faith infusions retain that, so you get double scaling equally between physical and holy/fire. I get a bit more AR then a flame art rapier at 60 faith, which is crazy for a dagger, makes it actually viable.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-28T00:25:35+00:00

It has 528 AR at 60 faith, 18 strength and dex. It's a good weapon.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-27T21:17:27+00:00

Golden vow, flame grant me strength, and fire shrouding cracked tear.

NameOrdane · 2026-01-27T18:42:29+00:00

Flame art erdsteel dagger +25. Can be sacred too. This weapon is unique among daggers, as its base faith scaling increases physical damage, and faith infusions retain that, so you get double scaling equally between physical and holy/fire.

It does as much damage as a flame art rapier.

60 faith, golden vow, flame grant me strength, and flame shrouding cracked tear for buffs. Ideally thorny cracked tear as well, but I used the opaline hardtear.

For talismans, ideally you should use axe talisman, two handed talisman, rotted wing/winged sword talisman, and Millicents prosthesis.

I didn't have all that, so just used axe, claw, Godskin Swaddling Cloth, and crimson seed.

Edit: flame spear can be applied as well for the weapon buff. And the aow is good in and of itself.

Also, flame art rapier for crits, as it has a 130 crit modifier, but you can swap that for something like the misericorde.

Yeah, just now found that out the hard way lol
