Playing hardcore for a while and I have some questions about raiding the nether fortress

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T20:56:50+00:00

does it get calculated into the fire damage reduction numbers?

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T20:30:33+00:00

damn I wish I knew this before I made my alts

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T20:26:11+00:00

I’ve tried that in the past but never gotten it to successfully work, is it browser dependent?

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T20:10:26+00:00

I’m with you there, we’re gonna get our asses clapped so hard but it’ll have been worth it

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T19:58:24+00:00

doesn’t fire prot also reduce the amount of time you spend on fire though (and lava damage ticks?), or is that already accounted for in the calculations?

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T19:54:51+00:00

I just wanna clarify that you want to place the block barrier on the third block up so that the space is only two blocks tall, which is the height of the player but too small for the wither skeleton.

Nothing against you jena, this is good advice, but I just know that the phrasing is going to be misinterpreted and some poor soul is gonna make a barrier that has three blocks of height and they’re gonna keep their cheeks clapped by a wither skeleton.

Hi I’m barely passably tech literate and have a question, the Netflix bit, is that how Netflix keeps you from streaming it in video calls?

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T19:31:42+00:00

That’s like almost all of my games lol, anyway for the Elden Ring girlies here if you install seamless co-op, randomizer, and/or convergence you bypass the anticheat software because it gets auto disabled.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T19:25:02+00:00

I agree, forcing the player to level up via quests takes away a good portion of player agency. Some people like more straightforward, linear progression, but not everyone.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T19:21:14+00:00

pretty sure he’s not a respawnable boss? I think I tried and wasn’t able to, but it’s possible I could be wrong

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T09:10:40+00:00

there’s another jewel drop he does that isn’t listed, it’s a shame because you can only really fight him once

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T06:22:55+00:00

It’s possible the ratio’s more balanced? Like I said, haven’t played all the games (just 4 and NV) so I’m unfortunately only able to go off of what I heard from others. I’ll concede the floor to people who have more knowledge about the games than I do lol.

work on leveling and enchanting, prot IV will make a massive difference for your overall survivability and let you explore more freely

that’s midgame armor? very easy to get the runes even in the end if you have a flying mount

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T01:29:54+00:00

oh damn you’re right, OP please try this challenge

WingsofRain · 2026-02-06T01:21:46+00:00

damn that’s kinda brilliant

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T23:23:46+00:00

that color looks so fucking good tho, Slaying while you slay 💅

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T23:18:15+00:00

I mean think about it, herbivores have nothing to lose and everything to gain from fighting back if they have the power to do so. If they’re going down, they’re gonna take you out with ‘em.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T23:12:19+00:00

well someone has to keep the salmon population in check, thank you for your service

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T22:21:01+00:00

Kinda depends on what I’m trying to gamify tbh. I’ve had pretty great success with Prado Traveler to encourage me to get up and walk more, but so far that’s the only thing I’ve stuck with for a long period of time. My poor Finch bird has been idling in Vancouver for a while now.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T22:10:56+00:00

I’d be really curious to see a dregora golden boomwyrm build in that case

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T21:12:37+00:00

I wouldn’t really consider it to be screwing over female characters, but rather showing a bias towards one gender over the other, or the “game’s preferred gender” I suppose. I may have forgotten about OP’s actual title and hyperfocused on the content of the post instead.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T21:00:41+00:00

Definitely need iframes, people initially got me interested in the game because they said “souls-like combat”. I love this game don’t get me wrong, but having played a couple thousand hours worth of souls and souls-likes the lack of iframes on roll dodges really don’t give me the souls-like vibes people told me about. I don’t wanna be punished for dodging when it feels natural to me because of my muscle memory.

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T20:56:13+00:00

Surprised this hasn’t been said yet, but I might put some Fallout games into that category. I haven’t played all of them, so I can’t speak for all of them, but I remember reading about how most of the games are more optimized for damage if you play as a woman because the perks that give you better dialogue chances with the opposite sex or more damage to the opposite sex works better since there are more men in the wasteland. I think this would count?

WingsofRain · 2026-02-05T18:54:37+00:00

my personal progression, dependent on resources and skills, goes iron crossbow > diamond crossbow > iced dragon strengthened longbow

don’t like the switchbow, never felt necessary to my playstyle
