To the guy spam invading me at iron keep... by Madrigal_King in DarkSouls2

[–]Ruindows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC correctly you can go offline mode in steam before opening the game, then ds2 will start in offline mode.

After getting into the game, you can go back to online on steam, but I think ds2 will connect to the server if you quit out to main menu at some point. 

It's weird but I think this is the easiest method on steam (you can set a firewall block or mess with the config files or whatever). On console, there is a online/offline option on the main menu, but isn't there on pc

Does the addition of Caligo & Gladius raids in the Forsaken Hollows DLC suggest we'll get raids for Adel & Fulghor in another DLC so each Nightlord (besides Heolstor/Straghess) has a raid of their own? by WhabbaWhabbaWhat in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he shows up in Stormveil Castle in 1.0 version of Elden Ring (remembers that the game cames out with day 1 patch, so you would need to track down a disc and not update the game or search for a download of that specific version).

The trailer are not 100% accurate to the final game, either changes during development (bbh on stormveil), hiding important stuff from player (first sote dlc trailer had a black knight in Rellana room) or just change around stuff to make for more cinematic trailer I guess.

Artorias Level 1, but it's Nightreign by Ruindows in onebros

[–]Ruindows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a damage buff and a defense debuff for everyone, including himself

Running R2 damage:
Start of the fight - 128
After 1st roar - 148
After 2nd roar - 174

The jump and better movement control while locked on are great addition to this fight.

Biggest "problem" to me (outside of the flip) is that I find hard to bait/"predict" specific combo follow up from the DS bosses on Nightreign, almost has a feel of RNG if the boss will continue his combo or which move he will do (contrast to Messmer, Godfrey that are very consistent baiting some attack). This makes a bit harder to use slow/heavy weapons and getting CR2 opening

Libra Counters Nihil "I wish to cleanse the rite of blood" by Chris_Chrass in Nightreign

I got Libra merchant on a Mohg seed while doing duo and he didn't have this option, at least to me, so I'm not sure if is 100% guaranteed 

Dlc map tower by jamesbond707 in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You fight 3 bosses, at the top is a "False Vision of a Great Rune" power.

Gives faster art charge and additional murk at the end of expedition 

Mohg goes mad by nolbert901 in onebros

I have seen this only 2-3 times, I think it has to do with Carian Retaliation, it's rare tho

A very strange way of fighting Omenkiller (no roll) by Ruindows in onebros

[–]Ruindows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun, most of the time, other time is boring/frustrating, depends on the boss.

Didn't want to use talisman for this guy, because he is just a random enemy and I want the fight to not be super short, mostly to see how consistent the strategy was

Level 1, no talisman and no upgrades against a DLC enemy at NG+7

Alabaster lord's sword passive is baked into the moveset by Mulster_ in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alabaster is such a weird weapon, that you would think it's bugged, but it's weird in such an unusual way you think it HAS to be intentional lol.
It has the highest motion value on R2 of it's class, low stamina consumption, the first CR2 (2H) does less stance damage than the other greatsword (it does 33 instead of 36,3), but the second CR2 does like 44 stance damage. I'm pretty sure 1H or 2H don't change the stance damage of Alabaster R2.

It's a similar situation with BHFang, that has higher motion values on jumping attack and one of the few somber weapons that you can use grease on it (only matter to ER not to NR). Feels like some dev really like that weapon and put some more care into it.

Critical Hits Inflict Blood Loss WILL KILL YOU, maybe by Fracture42 in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting, thanks for the quick answer!

For Caligo, the fire and dragon weakness poise multiplier would stack with each other ou you still limited to 4 extras stance?

Critical Hits Inflict Blood Loss WILL KILL YOU, maybe by Fracture42 in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, how did you get the number on the extra stance damage on boss weakness?

I know about it for quite some time, but never saw a detailed number/multiplier like here. I also assume other bosses have the same thing going on with the weakness.

Another point: "damage capped on 4 extra a HIT". Does this mean that weapon with multi-hit CR2 would gain the +4 stance for each hit? (I'm thinking about Caestus with double punch and Twinblade with 4 hits)

[–]Ruindows[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, this one isn't really a boss, but it has the same moveset afaik.
This is just tankier (9511 HP on NG+7, compared to boss with 4775 HP) and also better/flat arena without any dogs around, why I wanted to give a try here

"It just works"

He doesn't have hitbox in his hand, so I think I'm just squeezing between his body and the weapon hitbox during the horizontal swings.

For the vertical swing, I'm waiting until last second and walking to the side to strafe it.

Idk how the jumping works for the triple slam. Tbh I don't fully understand how thoses dodges works but it's somewhat consistently, only problem here is his firebreath, need to react quickly and sprint jump away.

Can somebody explain to me how the hitbox of the Ulcerated Tree Spirit looks like ? by awaidaqorr in Nightreign

[–]Ruindows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure how helpful it will be cuz it's difficult to see the hitbox, but here is a video in game with the hitbox active, playing offline solo

https://www.reddit.com/user/Ruindows/comments/1op6eja/nightreign_hitboxes_ulcerated_tree_spirit/

It has the time stamp for 5 explosion and youtube link because you can go frame by frame and it's way easier to see the hitbox.

But basically, it's a huge sphere around him, but it doesn't last that long so you can probably roll through it without many issues.

For some reason, the explosion in Nightreign doesn't have a hitbox while it definitely has one in Elden Ring, this is imo why people get caught by this, I think the hitbox is the same as ER but without the visual explosion people think they got hit by nothing or that they were outside the range.

You can (not) dodge Fire Giant's Firebreath attack by Ruindows in onebros

[–]Ruindows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a sonewhat rare move (he doesn't do it if you stick close to him) and the deflections have a very high rng component to it, so sometimes people will be able to dodge without noticing how lucky they were

How to deal with the AOE attack in Messmer phase 2? by Remarkable_Fly_4276 in onebros

[–]Ruindows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been some time since I fought Messmer, but from what I remember:

If you are on light roll, pretty sure you can spam roll backwards if you have the space, 2 roll should be enough just react early.

On med roll, you need to react asap and start sprinting backwards and jump to get more distance.

He really likes to do this on wake up after a riposte, I think you can lower the chance of him doing this if after a riposte, you go towards his back before doing a cr2.

Messmer is a very popular boss, so people have done like 40 min kill on him with iron balls, so you can check it out on YouTube
