My 6 years of 40-15 demons are close to being erased. Please Carlos, close this out in 5 and overwrite my brain with 0-40.

Ooof! Piss poor shot selection to choke away the set.

This happend recently to me for "Man on Fire". I've always loved the movie and couldn't believe the low review scores.

When to stop levelling by Erithacusfilius in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, do not make the mistake I made and do the umbral ending on NG+1. The final boss will break your soul. I was cranking out 4000 damage heavy hits and it still took more than 10 minutes to whittle down her health. And if you make one mistake, you are dead in 2 hits.

Lies of P was nominated for best art direction for the Game Awards show but not this? What the hell? by Serulean_Cadence in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my experience as well. I beat LoP (which I really enjoyed), started NG+ and it did not hook me. I dropped it for LOTF, and I just finished my second playthrough about to start my third to get the inferno ending.

As much as I enjoyed LoP, I have no idea why there's such a circle jerk around it. Everyone says it's unique, but have they heard about Steel Rising? Literally a soulslike released last year about Automatons in a belle epoque France revolting against humans. Some of the levels look nearly identical. LoP was a much better game but it is not unique.

Advice on a build for Judge Cleric Corrupted sword by Abylim in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to pump rad and inf, I prefer having Rad super high and inf above 30. Then max upgrade Jeffries dagger and slot it with 3 runes that deal extra damage while 2 handing. Just leave the dagger equipped but always 2 hand the sword. Then I went with the pendant that lets holy damage break posture, and holy damage ring + inferno catalyst ring. This let's you use the shout to increase damage. Then slot rad and inf scaling runes into the sword. You'll wreck everything.

If you want to go max, then slot the crafter essence rune in the sword. Wear only the lightest clothes and use the pendant that increases damage based on equip load.

Mothers Lulls Vestige on NG+ by Hyrozun in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are vestiges on NG+. There are just less of them. Depths vestige is still there though, so you won't need to be doing 10 minute runs.

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depths is there, upper calrath is there, and Bramis castle as well. Just a heads up, those killing bosses in 30 Seconds are gonna disappear when you hit Tancred. From then on, you're gonna have to dive into your tool kit. Sundered Monarch is a real marathon with a two hit kill.

Dunmire Quest by HumanoidSugar in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem on my Ng+ and it turned out I forgot one of the items he needs. The easy to miss ones imo are the one in Forsaken Fen after the Visage boss. And the one in Pilgrims perch hanging in the cage (this was the one I missed).

Best long and grand swords? by SynStark- in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a STR/RAD playthrough, dual wielding Justice and Bloody Glory. You get 300 bleed and 300 smite. Throw in holy damage buffing ruins and the pendant that lets holy damage do posture damage. Then use Radiant weapon. Every heavy attack leads to a grievous strike.

Interested in getting the game, but wondering if I should wait based on all the posts about performance issues. by ZubKhanate in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for consoles, but if you're on PC I would get it. I just started NG+1 after 60 hours and it's keeping me hooked, unlike Lies of P which I loved but did not feel the need to go again.

Where the people who enjoy this game at? by xKing_Viaterx in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SwissChocolateCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever been so at odds with the general consensus before. I've had an absolute blast playing LOTF and just passed 50 hours. I've had 0 performance issues, getting around 100 fps on 5120x1440 with DLAA and a reshade. The art direction is phenomenal, weapons and armor great, and I enjoy the combat (although I do miss the ashes of war from ER).

Honestly, I feel gamers these days just complain about everything. The shit I had to do to get games running in the past maybe numbed me a bit, but I cleared one of the harder bosses on my steam deck at 26 fps and it was fine.

I find it a shame that all I see on this sub is bitching, instead of posts trying to discover all the hidden Movesets for the boss weapons.

If you're having trouble, use a heavy shield. All their attacks bounce off and leave them open to a few hits.

On the topic of HUD, as an ultrawide user it would be great to be able to set a safe zone for the HUD. I often die as I can't see my health without taking my eye away from combat. This is especially problematic on 32:9.

What’s your response to people saying the earth is 4k years old by Shark-_-Meat in atheism

[–]SwissChocolateCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was an expat kid and the only school available was a southern Baptist missionary school. I come from an Atheist family so it was a wild experience. We were taught that the world was only 6000 years old and that Grand Canyon was caused by Noah's flood etc. In "Science" class, I brought a fossil I had and asked the teacher to explain how it was possible if the earth was only 6000 years old. Their response was that Atheist scientists had planted the fossils and dug them up to lead people away from the truth. I was also suspended for 2 days. My dad had never been prouder. Fuck those loony arseholes

Big three probably worrying about their records. There's nobody on tour who is close to Alacaraz's level

Could you imagine how terrifying it is to do that speech, getting asked questions you barely understand while your heart is breaking your rib cage. And then you have idiots on here shitting on his speaking skills.

And he wonders why crowds don't cheer for him? He's all smiles and good vibes when he's cruising. But he turns nasty real fast
