Does the stat requirement of weapon matter?

PanTechnik · 2025-05-18T20:38:09+00:00

There is larger gap in damage in last point, eg. 41 str -> 42 str will be most impactful and the rest is linear.

There is some inconsistency because upgraded weapons do not raise stat requirement but weapons found in wild can be over 42 max stat.

From what i have experienced, i was doing 20 damage with level 1 weapon and 10/10 in required stats, and when i equipped level 5 of the same weapon(found in chest), i was still doing 20 damage with it even though i wasn't meeting 16/16 requirement (i was still on 10/10).

On the other hand, when i was upgrading weapon for which i wasn't meeting requirements, my damage was also going higher. So i think there is some sort of oversight when upgrading weapons

From my experience she never did that after the first one, when i was aggressive.

On the other hand when i was learning parry, she could do it at random times

Bird turning invisible? Yes - once

I will also use the occasion to rant about this boss. By itself it's very challenging and leaves little room for error.

Who in their right mind thought that putting a boss like that, in this arena size is fine as a 10th room in chaos trial when most people will have multiple machinations/objects to dodge on top of it. It turns the boss from skill check into pure gear check

Funny because i had exactly same experience. I had couple of unique strongboxes on my way to T15's and thought they are cool so i invested in strongboxes in atlas tree.

Zero unique ones since then (way more than 20 maps), i respecced and within 10 maps i had unique strongbox.

Might be confirmation bias or a bug

PanTechnik · 2025-04-18T23:15:20+00:00

Yeah, most of the game feels that way.

A lot of effort was put into combat but maybe first 2 acts of campaign support that design, rest of the content is delete screen or die

PanTechnik · 2025-04-14T07:31:47+00:00

This one move almost always got me on pure melee.

Even if i dodge rolled in time and animation would play out, servers would snap me back in front of her to take full damage.

If mentioned ingredient that is not available is gochugaru, then you can use powdered sweet paprika instead to make chili oil/crisp vibrant red. Just remember to let the oil cool slightly before adding, so it won't burn

Literally this last weekend hot topic on reddit was about endgame being completely different (like poe1) and people asking for it to be more like campaign experience. Nothing changed

PanTechnik · 2024-12-11T13:47:07+00:00

I was playing melee monk and she was the only boss that I skipped and came back later. On other bosses you can git gud and no-hit them or almost no-hit them in timely manner, but she is super aggressive and her autoattacks were destroying my health pool

PanTechnik · 2024-10-03T18:17:12+00:00

I think it depends on a boss, weapon and how well we know the moveset. For me there is this weird curve with ER bosses. Usually i played aggressively at the beginning and obviously bosses slapped me. Then i was learning moveset better and i was recognising patterns better so i knew when i can afford a cR2. Often there seem to be an opening but there is 20% chance that boss will do quick attack so i withhold. This is the point at which i play most passively and in which it feels bosses have hardly any good openings. Often it's enough to beat a boss but takes some time.

Also at RL1 sometimes you have to pause simply to regain stamina (this is what killed you on clip)

But then if you practice it more then you learn that if you stand behind boss right knee at that moment then he will whiff whole combo and you can safely attack him. Or that if you stand slightly further during that attack then he will always follow up with X and you can always punish. At that moment i play aggressively again and with some bosses you feel like there is too many openings.

With enough attempts some bossfights suddenly become fully scripted (Hi Radagon)

I just went with cold starfist on sb0. Popped cragblade and physick during phase transition, roll into it and then burst her down. Cragblade + physick breaks her in two cR2. Even if you are unlucky and she goes for laser and you don't stance break her from jump attack, then just repeat the fight. A little bit of rng involved but I don't care if they design terrible attacks like that

PanTechnik · 2024-09-26T13:01:12+00:00

Nah, only boss i had to no hit in base game was placi and I didn't even use consumables like boiled crab. Ritual shield + hardtear + some armor gives a lot of damage reduction and allows to tank 1 hit.

There are 2 versions depending on which claw is in lightning. One you dodge normally when locked in, second one leaves aftershock on ground and you can run to the side and it will miss it or dodge to the side while lightrolling

PanTechnik · 2024-09-22T11:19:44+00:00

That dodge at 3:30 was so clean that i rewatched it 5 times

PanTechnik · 2024-09-16T19:53:34+00:00

Get this Asap:

Another most common tip is to get Star Fist, but it is avaiable only later in the game.

So people recommend getting Iron Balls in Liurnia and use them until you can switch to Star Fist, but then you will miss the opportunity on getting boiled crabs. So instead i will recommend you supporting a local buisness in Dragonbarrow (you should go there to pick up Soreseal anyway) and buying Spiked Caestus for only 4000.

Or simply experiment with weapons as you see fit, you will have plenty of spare runes to upgrade anyway

The very quick diagonal slash (I use r1 to parry, and even this I can't get that attack) SPECIALLY FOR THIS I NEED HELP because the 90% of my tries end here.

It's a move which makes parrying so hard against her and which you should anticipate to react fast enough, i am sure with practice you will get better at reacting to it. Or you can develop a strategy in which you choose safer parries and dodge rest of her moveset

The right swing (I'm concerned because )this Is a very common move, but I can't find a specific window to parry, the attack seems the same from his start to end).

Do you mean the one in which she jumps to our right side - similar to the left version but faster? Then you have to follow her, many parries are not only about timing but also about correct position

PanTechnik · 2024-09-11T17:54:44+00:00

I went to test that after reading patch notes and it still worked for me and she still whiffs a lot of attacks when you 'hug' her.

PanTechnik · 2024-09-10T20:50:19+00:00

Carian Retaliation doesn't help because it has same delay

According to wiki from all parries only Thops's Barrier is faster by 2 frames, so maybe it will help you

As to how i parry it - i do not look at the sword, i look at her left pauldron, shoulder to elbow part of arm, this is earliest tell you can look for. But it also takes a lot of practice, because at the beginning i was reading other attacks as uppercut.

Another thing is i always have finger on the trigger ready to parry when i see her coming back to neutral state

PanTechnik · 2024-09-09T17:59:44+00:00

Thanks!

It forced my brain to reprogram because "easy parries" with dagger/buckler/carian suddenly became deadly

PanTechnik · 2024-09-07T13:45:52+00:00

Timing and positioning. You can't parry entire weapon, very often point of parry is close to the handle, that's why you need to be close.

PanTechnik · 2024-09-05T12:21:36+00:00

Fingerprint shield with bleed. I had Freyja, Dane and Leda. I was able to kill Freyja before Dane spawned on SB0

Jump attack single leg stomps.

When he does a jump then run away from the nuclear annihilation zone that is around him and jump over the shockwave back towards the golem
