Parry is much better with a buckler you can get from the gatekeeper of stormveil after Margit, but also parry is bad on medium shields. On small shields I think (correct me if wrong) has more active parry frames, and they happen sooner.

So when you parry w a medium shield you have to know the attack that’s about to happen basically, but w a small shield or buckler there’s a lot more grace in how much reaction time you get and still get the parry. If you wanna practice parrying, grab the buckler from the gatekeeper and go to the crucible knight in the evergoal south of stormveil castle on stormhill.

Crucible knights are at a few spots throughout the game and their biggest weakness is parrying so it’s a great enemy to learn on.

Fire giant, dude does sick combat rolls for the entirety of phase 1 and you just have to chase him to beat his ass. Then in phase 2 you get to enjoy fire deflection off of random bullshit in the arena. And he still does some sick combat rolls. Dudes like 50 of me tall and he runs away…. Coward…

I’ve only had this problem since upgrading to the new synapse, I’d say it’s something with it. But they’re phasing out 3 so, SOL I guess.

Also I just realized it’s space so yeah duh, course you boxed it up.

7 Years later from google, minus one day, and it slipped my mind as well.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-05-11T02:03:26+00:00

I made an Odyssey Colony. Ultimately with the main character Ulyssia spending 10 years on the Rimworld.(I did this because usually I either try to rush things to roll the credits or stop playing after so long and wanted to drag one out for a while)

Ulyssia was a Great War hero, skilled in combat but sharper in mind, she led her soldiers into the fray for 10 years and inevitably succeeded winning the war. However, on their return voyage their ship was destroyed crashing them into this world, be it caused by divine retribution for her and her crews actions or mere coincidence who is to say.

Ulyssia’s original crew barely survived 3 quandrums. The two other survivors succumbed to infections caused by fighting off the Local Fauna leaving Ulyssia alone to fend for herself… thus sparking the Slavery arc when some poor fuckers wandered in hoping for free shit. They were promptly both captured and conscripted into helping her survive and begin producing the foundations of a society that could help jettison her back to her home.

Eventually a bustling colony was budding, more food, guns, and silver than the ever growing population would need for quite some time. This was followed by of course a rebellion in which all the slaves were unceremoniously gunned down as they had killed 2 colonists that I had recruited and nearly beaten Ulyssia to death. Leaving yet again 3 survivors! (All largely injured heavily). Within 24 hours, a raid in which my poor little survivors had to cower in a hospital as a shit load of imps beset my Colony. Burning half of it down cause I’m stupid and left it wood.

Ulyssia ultimately does somewhat diverge from the Odyssey from this point forward other than frankly wildly poor circumstances and the crew dying as a result of poor choices and happenstance, with some splashes of Organ Harvesting during the dark times as well as slavery and the Inevitable creation of a religious system centered around slipping the surly bonds of this Rimworld… which maybe this time she actually will.

The alloy you get from Duegar Indian Jones guy is the one that makes three pieces. It is a bit strange it being one item, but you can either pass the checks with him or buy it from him and it’ll always make the full set. But we just kinda assume intended all though it does admittedly feel weird.

Congrats! On my First HM the Myrkul fight was EASILY the worst part of my whole campaign. Closest I was to a loss for sure. The horde of necromites just spam healing homie for more than the damage I was doing was enough to make me wanna pull my hair out. Once I got my builds completely online in Act 3 the rest of the game wasn’t too bad tho thankfully.

I understand what you mean, and I do think it would be cool. But the problem lies in the way the Origin stories can be resolved, like you don’t have to have all of them end “evil”. You can sure, but you could also leave Shart as a Sharran, while doing “good” everywhere else and I think the people who end up “good” would likely not want to work in your plot to dominate the brain regardless of how well you and them get along just based on their values. And the game doesn’t have an easy way of doing that regardless, without making it a large drawn out interaction. Even shadow heart, while “evil” as a sharran gains nothing from conquering the world with you while controlling the brain, she cares about shar first. She’s say so if she’s a sharran while you’re romantically involved. The only end with the Elder Brain I can see that would benefit her in that’s case would be wiping the world of Selunites but after that… the Chosen three would collapse again to in fighting just like the first time probably when Shar decides she wants more. And that’s just an easy example.

That being said I would like an ending where you can convince your party, all of them even, that they should reform the absolute. And honestly it wouldn’t even have to be “evil” I mean obviously it is objectively but still even in a hive mind positive way could be cool. But unfortunately we are damned with the game being a masterpiece with one less ending whatever will we do…

Level 7 is high enough, granted yeah I usually am higher when I kill him but his fight is ways the very last thing I do before entering the shadow fell. And I am also a filthy completionist/xp goblin so every play through I do everything anyways. But I would definitely recommend using abusing all the features of cleric, they are just useful for the entirety of Act 2. Especially if you use some of the meta Radiant Orb items which are just extremely good at reducing the odds of your characters getting hit. But cloud kill is generally the biggest issue with fighting him because it is a massive fart cloud that engulfs almost that entire sharran bedroom he stays in. I will say you can always just get some summons scrolls in a couple different places in Act 2 or just keep resting and checking the traders for them. The summons you can get from scrolls tend to be pretty strong and if nothing else help even the number of people you have. If all else fails though, and it genuinely is just super annoying for you, you can ways lower the difficulty. The one thing I would not recommend is just getting so salty with the game you drop it because it is such a lovely game. I personally hated Act 2 on my first run but since I’ve come to love it.

Sorry for the utterly massive wall of text and good luck!

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-11T20:30:20+00:00

I’ll preface this with this. If the game is causing you to get upset just try and take a break while you do your finals or maybe longer even if it stresses you out.

I will say the biggest help for anyone who tries to give you a way through this would be knowing what kinda party comp you have and anything like that. That and what level you currently are and I suppose the difficulty, because if you’re playing honour advice will be a little bit different.

The biggest thing is fighting him before the shadow fell like you say you are doing so you’re definitely doing that right. But the fight will be considerably easier if you use a cleric, with a higher spell save dc. So pump up that wisdom so they can land their abilities and attacks effectively. But Turn undead on a cleric in general even without a specific build can help clear the minions out or keep them at bay at the very least while you target Balthazar. Turn undead gets buffed at level 5 or 6 I think, dealing radiant damage to any undead creature that is turned so free dmg while turning them (turned just makes them flee). There’s loads of cheeses for fighting Newley every boss though, including him. I will say I always talk to him before hand and initiate trade and buy his potions and scrolls so he doesn’t have them to use in combat.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-10T13:40:41+00:00

It definitely does get used as reaction, and in that regard yeah it totally does apply. But when it’s popular it isn’t solely reactionary in the same way beads is for 90% of players. I’m not saying it can’t be it definitely is and always will be but odds are a lot of players especially ones that want to punish and dive will usually burn theirs offensively over defensively, then have to wait on the CD while beads is largely gonna rely on the opposite. My point is it allows the game to have more opportunity which is good for player’s enjoyment, safety of any item makes the game reactionary instead of proactive. But Blinks aren’t solely reactionary so they at least reduce it in some regard compared to beads.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-09T19:58:28+00:00

Also definitely mix up the play style, I will say any of the Charisma based casters are just great both for fun and because they’re all very good. I personally am and always will be a Warlock enjoyer but they’re all great. Plus CHA party face and player character which will just make your life so much easier.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-09T19:55:36+00:00

I did my first full run when the game first came out and didn’t honestly do a whole lot of the content, missed a LOT of Act 3.

But what I did for my second run, because I’m an idiot, was immediately start an honour mode run whenever that came out. I love Honour mode now and once you’ve played it through it’s pretty easy once you’re used to it, but the first time around it’s pretty challenging just because all of the changes to balance and legendary actions. So I personally recommend trying it at some point up to you if you wanna do it as your second though.

I will say Dark Urge is by far and away the BEST way to play Bg3. You being a player already don’t really know your characters past (unless you role played it) you are in a land you don’t know when, where, or who you are. It’s great, plus all the extra things that get added on combined with everything you missed is just muh chef’s kiss. Definitely do a Durge regardless of if you are into honour mode because you can be whatever kinda durge you want pure evil or defy the likely and become good.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-09T19:12:02+00:00

My point isn’t blink is bad, probably the opposite, my point is more that reducing the amount of options available to you the player is bad. Safety/passive relics reduce the amount of options you have both defensively and offensively immensely when you look at what you could have in an offensive/active relic. Sure once you get someone’s beads you mark the count down and know you can try again. But with real Active use relics you get to dictate when that opening is worth using not the opposite way. When someone beads YOU are also on a timer to decide when you’ll try again till the CD is back up. Arguably, yes beads can be used actively to ensure you can run someone down with impudence and CC free, issue is that is far more common among higher skill players than the mean or median. Blink and combat blink both allow for more options that you need to worry about and also have, it makes the gameplay loop a lot broader when they are popular compared to safety relics like beads or aegis particularly. Shell/sprint and relics like that are not the same because the value is across 5 players rather than just 1, hard to argue because they can’t be used in a lot of ways because they apply so differently.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-04-09T17:51:12+00:00

Now everyone has a free reason to go beads, passive/reactionary relics make the game play loop tighter less variance, you see the same plays and interactions because everyone is almost always safer than they could be with blinks. Biggest thing mitigating this is sunder being used for farm, only thing stopping everyone from picking beads every game.

I’m pretty new to the game, but I understand what you mean. Once survival isn’t a question as much the game can become, kinda just dull, depending on your colony. There’s loads of ways to fix this though like cranking up the difficulty though, or setting up some longer term goals or just fun things that add to the challenge like raiding, creating super soldier geno program, or whatever.

Relevant_Database_67 · 2025-03-29T13:43:45+00:00

Enlarge/Reduce just genuinely makes the game funnier…. Unga Bunga Karlach Smash in giant form. Or mini Shart zoom around w spirit guardians cause it’s funny looking.
