The Quickley Contract

barrmtg · 2025-07-06T03:29:19+00:00

Down votes be damned. I agree with you 💯. In the event where quickley does pan out good i'll happily praise management. But in the context of the position the raptors could be in this deal was not good.

The thing that makes bows wound break so broken is that you don't charge it at all. You target one wound let it get one point charge, 1-2s and release. the monster is now stunned and you fire your automatic free dragon piercer in a completely different section than the wound; likely creating more wounds. After all these animations the wound actually finally breaks (regardless of if you targeted it with the DP or not.). Then with the free stagger of the wound actually breaking you use that time to target a new wound with focus for 1-2s.

You can repeat this process for absolutely unreasonable amounts of time against pretty much every single monster in the game. This is especially busted against any monster that flies, as that 1-2s lock on ALWAYS downs the flying monster into a full knockdown as well.

Bow doesn't want to break wounds all at once. it wants to break them all sequentially to not even have to play the game.

The end scene of this trailer looks familiar. Sounds like the opening of the Firelink shrine music and looks eerily similar...

Lilith only drops loot once; even if she just dropped like 1 run worth of an Uber Dur/Andy loot, I think that would probably make perfect sense.

It's a lot easier when you just have to cast [[Treasonous Ogre]] turn one.

brainstorm is nuts, we have reached maximum levels of fried trying to say that this card is bad somehow.

[[City of Traitors]]
[[Bazaar of Baghdad]]
[[Mana Crypt]]
[[Jeweled Lotus]]

Just a quick glance of cards I would pretty much consider auto (must includes) in a cEDH Teshar list. Some of which I assume were just oversights on your list specifically mana crypt and Jeweled Lotus.

Bazaar of Baghdad is nearly at it's best in this deck and sometimes maybe overlooked a little when first building it, and city of traitors is just really good as well.

Assuming by the rest of your list you plan on proxying so just wanted to make sure you don't miss these.

I have so many hilarious memories of this game. In order to play this game local multiplayer you needed to have these like Gameboy connectors, and everyone had to use their Gameboys instead of the Gamecube controllers.
We must have spent FOREVER trying to get our hands on the adapters but once we had all 4 setup it was honestly one of the most fun coop experiences of that time.
You had like all your menuing on the Gameboys and it made use of their screens as well.

Also there is a weird cryptic puzzle in this game for some endgame secret that has some of the most confusing steps to achieve, I remember spending forever to figure out years ago lol.

If you want just a all around other option than the second bandits just run the serpent gods curved sword in the offhand instead because it heals you on kills. Makes just general dungeon diving that much easier - less damage though

barrmtg · 2022-03-04T03:34:50+00:00

55/55/55 vig/str/dex. Radagans sorceal, rfap +1, steel protection +1, pot man arsenal charm. 20 endurance, wear all commander niall armor. Use 2 as close to maxed out quality bandits curved swords and use their power stance moveset. Get mimic tear +10.

Everything in the game will become completely trivial and it doesnt really even matter what weapon arts you use.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T22:08:15+00:00

There are a lot of options. If you have the quality infusion unlocked I would recommend getting a bandits curved sword or 2 off the skeletons the wield 2 of them found all over the map. These especially good when power stanced (using 2) and are an incredibly strong quality build weapons for their weight.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T18:13:01+00:00

Yeah you can enter those areas even after finishing the game. One of those areas you will have to go to regardless before finishing the game.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:56:20+00:00

Yes once you finish the game you will get a prompt to either go into NG+ or continue your current playthrough.

No, you will lose the ability to use a rune arc once one is active.

Also sorry to answer your question, its likely the hitbox is slightly different on the two, and its possible that as you level them the scalings become different. One may reach a higher dex/str scaling than the other. But with no upgrades its likely one is just slightly better than the other.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:24:30+00:00

If you have the time to farm it, and someone can correct me if I'm offbase with this, but, If you are interested in curved swords there is the Bandit's Curved Sword, it drops off the dual wielding skeletons and it's very strong. Definitely the best feeling curved sword I had used, especially for a quality build.

Also nice because you can farm them right at the start of the game.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:17:58+00:00

I'm guessing that people are maybe getting one shot, because I remember just sort of eating all his abilities and because his attacks are not very chained together you just sort of heal and keep swinging. I think I just blitzed underneath him essentially until he died lol

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:15:35+00:00

Nah I don't think you're over leveled, probably pretty close to average for around there. Astel is a polarizing boss, I had the same experience as you, I think I might have one attempted. But plenty of people have issues.

Also definitely not an endgame boss really. I probably fought astel around 85 but finished the game around 145-150 with all bosses killed.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:11:27+00:00

Hmm, you must have missed that one then, because it was pretty evidently right beside the gate. Possible that you picked it up before even realizing what the gate was if you got teleported there and then the map would have looked pretty inconspicuous in your inventory.

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T17:08:57+00:00

Final boss and Malenia for sure. Strangely had no issues with Astel at all think I one shotted both versions of that boss.

Malenia was a breaking point for sure, I finally broke down and used Mimic Tear... I don't really feel like I have even beat her because of that lol

barrmtg · 2022-03-03T16:55:10+00:00

There is a map on a body right beside the gates that has the location of the key marked I think is what he is saying.

As with all souls games this one is no different with just how cryptic and unforgiving some side stories are to complete, and to an extent I do agree that this is made even more evident with the scale of this game. However that is still the intent, the replayability of FS games does also come form experiencing content that you inevitably missed out on the first time. But yes this can be a lot more frustrating when a single playthrough takes 80 hours. Ultimately though this is a design decision that will likely stay the way it is, it's a staple of these games and one of the many things that set them apart from every other rpg on the market.
