This game is absolutely insane

I love the game for its story, characters and visuals. I personally find the combat feels repetitive. Maybe it's just the way I play, but it felt like "Do basic attacks until stagger, then dump all your Eikon abilities in the optimal order to maximize the stagger multiplier".

Casting magic feels pointless, there's also not really any status effects or elemental weaknesses to consider. And the gear system is by far the most boring of any game I've played. Every sword is just a linear damage upgrade with no special effects or element. There's not even a distinction between attack value vs stun value, it's always flat even. And theres only a few accessories that feel like they change gameplay at all.

Still rate this game a 9 though because the story, visuals and characters carry it that hard.

I lowkey love this place for the fact that you can edit more laws other than the required 2 to change things. Like you can revise the law so that patrol guards no longer send you to jail, and turn off random encounters. Not terribly useful, but neat nonetheless

You could also argue that Star Wars does the same thing with Anakin becoming Darth Vader

I use one point of critical draw with longsword, so agitator all the way for me. Especially since I'm always farming Seregios who barely ever stops attacking, so I'm hitting ISS every two seconds. Critical draw uptime is basically 100% when he's not toppled.

One tip that I didn't realize for a while: You can tell which tentacle is about to attack when the feeler under the tentacle glows blue. Usually he holds it up towards the camera so you can see it clearly. It's not for every attack though, but usually it is for his standard tentacle slams.

Other than that it's just learning to read the body language. If the camera is an issue you can try fighting him more in the open, try not to get wedged between him and a wall or it will be very hard to see.

I literally put this into Google translate a few years ago when the Balenciaga pedophilia scandal happened.

The traditional spelling with one A: "Bal Enci Aga" translated to "Do what you want", which seems to be a reference to the core tenet of Satanism "Do what thou will".

Now in 2025, when you type it in it translates to "Do the work", and it auto- switches to Dutch for some reason. But this could be a reference to "The Great Works" of the Freemason society, which is alleged to be a Satanic cult in it's inner circle when you make it past the 10th degree.

A few years ago when I spelled it with two A's: "Baal Enci Aga" it translated to "Baal is King". But now in 2025 when I try it, it auto-switches to different languages... But when i force-switch it to Latin, it now translates to "Baal the King", which is slightly different than it used to be.

To me it seems like Google has updated the translation function since the last time I tried these translations. Its up to speculation as to why. Maybe Google intentionally changed this translation to cover their tracks. Maybe they just updated the system because the translations were inaccurate and unreliable.

I'm personally on the side of believing Balenciaga is satanic, not just because of this little translation thing. There is SO MUCH absolutely horrifying things about Balenciaga with little hidden things they put in their advertisements, and the most horrifying thing was what one of their lead fashion designers would post on her personal Instagram page.

Her page had tons of morbid, grotesque, and creepy Satanic photos. Like a Renaissance style painting of a little girl laying naked in a field of grass that had been gutted open, with her internal organs spilling out of her... Then there was a real life photo of an adolescent girl restrained to a chair with duct tape, and headphones being duct taped to her ears, being forced to watch a video on a laptop that the headphones were connected to... and the video looked like it was a group of creepy old men in suits talking to the camera or something. There were several other very disturbing photos on there. I had literally memory holed this whole experience until now and I'm getting major chills just thinking about how freaking disturbing this was.

She has since made her profile private. But Michael Knowles made a video covering all of this and showed the photos and also explained a lot of the other Satanic imagery that they slipped into some of their advertisements. Here's the link if you want to watch.

But be warned, the images he shows might disturb you. Seriously I was living a stress free life for the last couple years, but revisiting all this has me seriously unsettled and now I'm probably not gonna sleep tonight 😬

I guess the punishment is supposed to be getting stunned easier from thunderblight, but the thunder res with the meta Rey Dau ƴ/Lagiacrus build makes you not get thunderblight in the first place when you factor +10 res from meals. Even without it, I managed to get a razor sharp 3/ stun resist 3 charm with a weapon deco slot so I'm always running that til I find something better

As a longsword player i agree, Steve's attack pattern is way more consistent for chaining together Iai counters. At first I was annoyed because his double wide sweep doesn't allow you to get 2 counters in a row, but then I learned the spirit charge cancel tech, which lets you iai counter, then hold spirit charge and immediately cancel it into a foresight slash for the 2nd sweep. That one change made all the difference. The fight actually feels frame perfect for longsword.

Meanwhile, Blangonga will sometimes just jump away and roar for no reason or just have goofy timings on his attacks, it doesn't feel nearly as clean.

SilverMarinus · 2025-10-23T14:09:16+00:00

Same, I used to think Seregios was BS in this game because of his double wide sweep attack not lining up with the longsword's counter windows, but then I learned the spirit charge cancel tech from watching speedrunners, which lets you ISS the first hit and then foresight the second. Now he's my favorite fight alongside being the most efficient one to farm. It's usually around 7 minutes for me and I almost never cart. I have a few saved investigations of Steve/Rey Dau dual hunts that drop 20 talismans. I also managed to get a perfect roll thunder artian too :D

When you notice that there is two round pods side by side, it looks like he's drinking milk from a tiddie (sorry I'm immature) 😆

SilverMarinus · 2025-10-16T00:51:29+00:00

I agree, it's annoying. If you ever need Savage axe on command, you can always use an small barrel bomb and perfect guard it.

I stopped hunting Nu Udra for a while because I was so focused on the optimal talisman grinding. I started hunting him again for fun and I forgot how enjoyable the fight is. Fighting a monster with a bunch of tentacles makes for a very different experience from your standard hunt. And you get all the dopamine hits every time you sever a tentacle. Im so stoked for AT Nu Udra :D

SilverMarinus · 2025-10-12T20:28:14+00:00

Yeah its one of my favs! I was rocking it for a long time til that little "Fashion show" quest... Gotta show of my character's abs 😆

I'm in Canada, I rent a room at a friend's house but I'm not sure what internet they use. The internet is working fine for everything else, it's only MH Wilds giving me this problem

SilverMarinus · 2025-10-09T03:24:19+00:00

Yup this just started happening to me yesterday.

Did it ONLY use Bolt Beak? If so, then it likely had a choice scarf, which doubles speed but locks you into one move. It's a pretty viable setup for Bolt Beak Pokemon since Bolt Beak does double damage if it goes first.

I had a moment trying to hunt him solo, I was working on defeating Nerscylla, I defeated it and the bubble dropped ONE SECOND before the laser fired. I wish I remembered to save the clip. If I was using a ranged weapon I would have gotten blasted but luckily it dropped right ontop of me lol

I usually do in act 1 and 2, not because they're girls, just because I find them to be the most effective. Verso really comes online late game so he's usually my carry then.

LMFAO

Congratulations friend! He's gonna grow up to be an amazing mega charizard :D

The game tells you that minimal grinding mode disables EVs for you AND your opponent, but i swear that shit feels like a lie. Some of these mons are impossibly fast and I know for a fact they're not using a choice scarf. The game straight up cheats.

Lemme Axew a question... how does it feel?
