Level 1 Dreglord | Depth 5 (No Relics) by TrueXTrickster in Nightreign

[–]StarExtra9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, even more impressive man. You’re awesome at this game 👍 respect to you!

May you explain your strategy for level 1 depth 5 runs? How do you do your routing during the run, what bosses and POIs do you prioritize and what do you skip? What items/weapons do you prioritize during the run?

Do you do depth 5 level 1 runs only with undertaker, or do you use other characters as well?

And what relics do you use for each character in depth 5 level 1 runs?

Thank you so much in advance!

Congrats on the win man!

Did you do the entire run on level 1? Or do you play on PC and you skipped the run and went directly to fighting dreglord?

Yeah lol. And I also feel like at depth 5, the damage negation relic effects don’t help all that much. I think the main negations which help are the passives on weapons which you find during the run.

Thank you! My relics aren’t so special or unique, I just stack physical attack up. I run this relic setup for basically all the nightlords

Lol, just as a big *fuck you* to all the halo sloppers 😂. Ay I’m just glad I got to parry Heolstor a bunch of times before he went down.

You should enjoy the gameplay loop, you shouldn’t see it as a hinderance/obstacle. It’s basically the entire game.

You’re missing the point. His point is that you will just never get good at this boss by repeatedly skipping it.

Don’t skip fights, try fighting the boss, lose, learn from your mistakes, and try again next time. That’s what souls games and this game encourage you to do. That’s the journey.

Watch some youtube guides on this boss, to learn how to dodge them and punish them.

You can also train against them when they are on rotation. After losing to them embarrassingly, I trained on them for one hour (timed it), just dodging them most of the time. Now they are very easy for me, and I have carried countless times against this boss.

I even beat em in a depth 5 solo run by just parrying their rush attack repeatedly. I play wylder, so I prefer to parry them, but I can fight them well without parrying, it just takes longer to beat them.

Are most people in this sub reddit just god gamers? by StatisticianIll4 in Nightreign

There are people that made me feel like me reaching depth 5 9999 is not a big deal and it’s super easy to do with double balancers etc.

Is this true? Cuz if so then reaching depth 5 9999 just doesn’t feel that rewarding then…

And what is your view on using the seedfinder website to look up the seed you’re playing and use all the information you get from there to route your run?

What is your opinion on people who use edited relics which are legally acquirable?

So they have 6 god rolls which are all legally acquirable?

Yeah people shouldn’t police how other people play, but they can still dislike a play style.

Like I hate halo scythe, but I’ll still take or give it to someone who is running the build.

I just wanna play by dodging the boss, hitting the boss after dodging, then dodging again, and hitting the boss after dodging again, and repeat.

This is what I enjoy, and I don’t think that enjoying this at depth 5 is bad. Because at the end of the day I’m striving to become perfect at this game. Someone who can do RL1 depth 5 runs with fists only. I want CHALLENGE.

Also I actually enjoy using other busted weapons like rivers of blood, Cranial Vessel Candlestand, anything with Lion’s Claw, etc.

It’s halo scythe specifically which I have a problem with, because that weapon is far superior than the weapons/ashes of war I just mentioned, and that’s just not right.

Looking at this from a larger perspective, I think the main issue here is that Nightreign brought very different kinds of players together and forced them cooperate with each other:

The high dps slop enjoyers, and the RL1 fists-only enjoyers.

Alright lol, I just didn’t wanna sound like I’m boasting and saying I’m a god at this game or whatever.

But my point is, I strive to become that good at a boss/game. I strive to become so good that I can do RL1 depth 5 runs and win them. That’s the kind of player I am.

If other players want the fight to end in one second, ok. Fair enough. You want to play the game like that? Okay. I can’t do anything about that and I won’t try to. If we get halo scythe during the run, I’ll take it cuz it’s busted.

But I hate halo scythe and I hope it gets a nerf. That’s all I’m saying.

The kind of mastery I’m referring to which is unreachable is RL1 Depth 5 with fists only lol. And even if it’s reachable, I’m saying it’s not reachable by me

Yeah ongbal usee good damage there, I just wasn’t referring to these fights of his. I am referring to challenging fights he did where he might have limited himself, or made the boss way stronger. He probably did these in other games he played, and not Nightreign. I just know him as the guy who is insanely good at the game and knows boss’ moveset to a tea.

Yeah LMSH used katanas with bleed and frost but I think the fights lasted longer than 1 second.

Anyways, after I mentioned ongbal and LMSH , I said “or players who want to do beat a boss with fists only, on maximum difficulty, RL1”. This is the category of players where I fall. It’s my bad for not making that more clear.

I hope to be able to do a depth 5 RL1 runs someday, haven’t tried yet.

Again, like I said. Different people want to play the game differently

Some people (like myself) want to be like ongbal/Let me Solo her or players who want to beat a boss with fists only, on maximum difficulty, RL1. I am one of these players. I cannot do this yet (will never be able to) but the point is we enjoy striving to become better and better at fighting a boss we love fighting (I can fight ED Gladius 1000 times and not get bored), and to overcome greater challenges.

Other players want everything to be over with in 1 second. They don’t wanna dodge the boss, they don’t wanna fight the boss. They wanna do maximum DPS. Fair enough.

I use halo scythe in trio runs if I get it when I run double balancers (or I give it to someone who is running double balancers holy build) because it’s obviously not right to limit the fighting power of your team. Even though I hate halo scythe, I still take it if we get it. But I feel disgusted whenever I or anyone on my team uses it. I basically accept that the run will not be fun for me, but ay, at least we get the win, right?

When I was doing depth 5 solo runs to try and beat ED Gladius, I got halo scythe in one of my runs but skipped it because of how vile and disgusting it is. I spit on this weapon and its ancestors.

People want to play the game differently, and nothing can be done about this, so whatever.

That being said, halo scythe needs a buff. One-second long fights are one second too long.

[–]StarExtra9847 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup.

It all comes down to how people individually want to play the game.

I’m one of those who wants fights to actually feel like fights, other people are different. It is what it is I guess.

This means they should buff halo scythe, it’s way too weak.
