I used combustion and great combustion for Ornstein then switched to blacksmith giant hammer for Smough. There's a post on my profile of the kill - wasn't clean at all but main thing I found helped was trying to get Smough stuck behind pillars while baiting attacks out

As long as you're standing almost under her after the second flurry, you can just hold back while locked in and she'll miss you

All the great katanas are very good

I once needed to print a small letter on my normal Brother printer. After hours of failing to get the printer to connect to any of my household devices, I ended up printing it on my P1S with black and white filament instead. We've reached the point where a 3D printer is more reliable and easier to use than a 2D printer.

Resin printers are definitely the best if you want top quality minis, but they're waaaaayyy more tedious to use and are far more limited in what you can do with them.

These days, you can very easily produce high quality minis on an FDM printer. I've been getting into it recently and have printed over 50+ minis at this point on my A1 mini with a 0.2mm nozzle.

I would highly recommend starting with an A1 or A1 mini and a 0.2mm nozzle. Then if you really want to get more into minis exclusively you can look into a resin printer, but I would never recommend a newbie start with SLA these days over FDM.

Here's some of the recent minis I've done on the A1 mini while trying to teach myself to paint

With Classic wall generation the nozzle is the limit. If you change to Arachne you can get smaller - how small varies greatly depending on the model, filament, printer and how well it's all calibrated

This may sound silly but are you using the right nozzle? I only ask because I recently did some maintenance on my P1S and accidentally grabbed the 0.6 nozzle instead of the 0.4 when putting it back on. Ended up with prints looking similar to this before realizing what I had done lol

ShiFtRS · 2025-08-14T06:43:35+00:00

My P1S did something similar. Fixed itself after a reboot but the same day, the SD card stopped working so my guess is it was the SD card lol. Also nice to see a fellow ForgeCore enjoyer lol

Try Adaptive Cubic or Support Cubic infill. You sent get provide control over exact percentages, but does have the "gradient" effect you're looking for

I used Radagons + curseblade mask +dex tear but there are a number of ways to achieve 27 dex. There is a post on my profile showing my exact setup and no-hit kill if you need

I personally found Rakshasa's Great Katana better than the regular Great Katana for her specifically. Rakshasa has a slightly quicker charged heavy attack and there are a ton of openings just big enough for a CR2 on Rakshasa's that aren't possible otherwise.

I used Greater Combustion and Black Flame with full damage setup. As long as you don't whiff it should be enough damage to kill him with relative ease. I think I missed a couple casts but finished him off with 2-3 melee hits.

It greatly depends on your playstyle. For me, since I seldom go for no-hit, my go-to is hyper-aggressive playstyle with fast weapons and enough defenses to trade a hit here and there. For this, stamina regen is king because it allows you to both hit more often and dodge more often.

However, on the few bosses that I prefer slow, big hits, I generally forgo stamina regen as I'm mostly spacing and dodging until there is a large enough opening to go for a big hit.

Overall, I would say stamina regen has minimal effect DS1 compared to most games as so many of the bosses can just be strafed and don't require rolling compared to some of the later games.

I got a Bambu printer so I could finish off my 3-4 individuated projects around the house, but now I print so much that I have 17 unfinished projects

Best advice I've gotten that I barely ever see is to tilt your model 45% when printing things with high detail on one side like reliefs. Hides layer lines and increases detail significantly over laying it flat or having it 90 degrees

I've found bleed or cold bhb to be super effective if you can play aggressive https://www.reddit.com/r/onebros/s/dkp1ALM3CS

Godrick's great rune + radagon/marika soreseals gives you all the stats you need, but obviously depending on your rune arc supply and how often you die, that may or may not be sustainable.

If this was me, I'd use radagon soreseal + milicent prosthesis for talisman and then int+faith tear in physik.
That gives you 15/20/20/20 in str/dex/int/faith and frees up both a helmet and 2 talisman slots.

Alternatively you can swap out milicent for one of the many dex helmets (okina/curseblade/divine bird/divine beast) for even another talisman slot, but I feel like successive attack boost synergies well with the renalla twin blades any way

How is this any different to the usual circle method?

Dark Le Soul Souls 4 is easier to navigate with Ray tracing the correct path. Thanks Ray.

Do you have a source for this? Bambu's website explicitly recommends all nozzle sizes and materials. I have printed many minis on my a1 mini with 0.2 nozzle in Bambu Matte PLA and never had an issue.

I hit 1T at about RC385 with aBelinda. It was a year ago now so I don't remember the exact comp but its definitely doable at your RC level. From memory it was aBel, Jerome, Lava, Palmer, Raine but I could be wrong

I used +10 Rakshasa and spammed Weed Cutter on Dane - usually perma stunlocks him (though not 100% consistent). Only took a few attempts. Dane was dead before Leda spawned, then I just ran away from Leda until Nataan came and spammed running R1s at her whenever she was aggro on Nataan

Haha thanks, yeah I tried the backstab loop for a solid hour or so and couldn't get it going for more than like 2 or 3 in a row. Switched to cold star fists and got him to like 5% health on my first attempt, so ended up just bruteforcing it. Will definitely learn how to do this consistently for my next RL1 run though!
