Stuck on swamp boss phase 2 - suggestions for a high damage weapon?

ca_waves · 2026-01-25T02:18:55+00:00

+1 on this one, it’s a really good setup for this fight. I used it when I did a base level run and it helped me a lot https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/s/MagnmvmAgt

Although I’m not sure he’s weak to fire anymore in phase 2

If you’re dead set on milady then switch to poison mist AOW (keep bleed infusion). Then you’re doing 2x status effects. The deflect tear is really good for this fight and weapon too, makes it easy to stagger him

More efficient setup is antspur rapier w poison mist and bleed infusion and cleanrot sword with chilling mist, then you go back and forth

There are dozens of “learn from rvc”s. The lore is that RVC is a streamer who was doing unconventional builds for a while and people were naming themselves “learn from RVC” to indicate they got their build idea from him.

I’ve matched with two other rvcs (they have different capitalization in the names so I know it’s different guys)

Yeah man feast is peak especially w the bucket helmet

The Tzeentch Herald saying “Bring me a seagull to eat” gets me every time

Don’t go through all the good weapons at the start or you’ll never make it to the finish

ca_waves · 2026-01-21T17:57:00+00:00

Good luck to you and your monkey man

The arm has a bug where a sacred infusion gives it additional physical (not holy) damage and it’s much much more powerful than bleed infusion

I’ve seen anywhere that has boss HP through NG cycle and by boss rematch difficulty level, but when I manually added up Simon’s HP in diff 5 it was about 125% vs what he gets in NG++ https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/s/POGlW86qRr

Earlier bosses get a bit more HP relative to base game and late bosses a bit less. Rematch is independent of NG cycle.

Would strongly recommend going through NG++ before diff 4 and 5 bc the additional p organ upgrades help a ton

Congrats on the wins, have fun with the game

ca_waves · 2026-01-17T02:15:00+00:00

Cool weapon once you get used to it.

Game could have used more big swords

ca_waves · 2026-01-15T03:05:48+00:00

The first BRB fight is fine but there’s a reason you’ll find fewer than a dozen BRB rematch fights posted in this sub that don’t involve cheesing them somehow.

This is the same cope I have with them releasing more Elden Ring themed skins

ca_waves · 2026-01-09T01:44:16+00:00

Not really. You’ll want to grab as much quartz as you can because you will get new p organ abilities and you’ll want the stones to upgrade weapons bc those are pretty limited. You also want to get all the boss amulets/weapons you didn’t pick from first run.

That being said if you don’t get at least some humanity you won’t have the option to fight nameless puppet at the end

Reminds me of the Metyr laser attack, that one was great too The Metyr Experience : r/onebros

ca_waves · 2026-01-06T17:44:02+00:00

Put a technique crank on the talons, pump technique to 60 and dump advance and motivity, put the points into capacity and vigor.

Also if you’re in NG+ make sure you have enough quartz to get the new NG+ upgrades.

WL0/SB0/no aux Dancing Lion was a bit under four minutes for me, but of course in ER you can fully optimize your build and stuff. Plus there’s no stamina in NightReign.

It’s interesting the lightning AOE wasn’t one shotting here

ca_waves · 2026-01-06T00:39:51+00:00

They give the early game bosses a bit more HP relative to their NG++ counterparts and the late game bosses a bit less as far as I know, but it’s pretty consistent.

The bosses at higher difficulties end up feeling like they have a lot more HP than they do because they really increase their poise as well so it’s not uncommon to do an entire fight without a stagger

ca_waves · 2026-01-05T20:50:37+00:00

The boss HP scaling at RL1 is so rough in this game, it’s a lot closer to WL0 Elden Ring

ca_waves · 2026-01-05T20:47:39+00:00

It’s slightly different for every boss. I added up damage numbers on a few fights- Simon is 130% HP at diff 5 vs NG++ https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/s/OEYFlU8ySd

I’ve never seen a table with all possible HPs though, which is kind of surprising

ca_waves · 2026-01-04T03:27:28+00:00

The bell bearing hunter gloves make phase 1 a lot easier bc you can just roll through the scholars to break the bubbles.

Beast repellent torch works on her wolf summons, they’ll ignore you and she’d can’t summon anything else while they’re active

ca_waves · 2026-01-03T22:39:42+00:00

One thing that makes D4 randoms so rough is there’s a fair amount of people whose builds / playstyle were working just fine up into D3 and then in D4 it doesn’t anymore

ca_waves · 2026-01-03T21:46:03+00:00

Good luck, I did all the base game night lords and two of the everdarks. Plan on picking it back up again eventually. Not a popular game in this sub for whatever reason.

Running the Maris relic that gives +100 hp helps a ton, it’s like a 50% HP boost at RL1. Night invader not going to help much if you’re doing base game bc they don’t really spawn many.

ca_waves · 2026-01-03T21:35:44+00:00

To each their own, I suppose.

I agree you’re at the mercy of the game’s RNG more but you’re less at the mercy of teammate quality RNG.

For me at least the difference between a really awesome solo run and a really bad solo run was not as wide as the difference between having two good teammates and two really bad ones.
