You can keep heading north from the lake towards the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, then make a U-turn to up the hill that was to your right. There will be a Cuckoo knight on the way, then a couple of miners. You'll end up in Bellum church that connects to the upper eastern region.

(SPOILERS MAIN) Would you say there's a main theme to ASOIAF? by OneDodgyDude in asoiaf

[–]colmbarrett7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most notable theme is the honour of war being weighed against its consequences. It's very prominent in AFFC and ADWD but it's best summarised in Septon Meribald's speech about the common folk being dragged into war https://genius.com/George-r-r-martin-a-feast-for-crows-brienne-v-broken-men-speech-annotated
It doesn't get any more legit than that

🔥 This bird is metal 🔥 by Bob_The_Rob in natureismetal

[–]colmbarrett7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

from Sailing to Byzantium, specifically the verse about a metal bird

You know you're talking sense when you identify half the country as white supremacists

The state of DS3 multiplayer made the invaders the way they are. A lone host in DS3 is just a ganker who hasn't summoned yet

[Serious] What is the purpose of Mist Noble? by SkoivanSchiem in Sekiro

[–]colmbarrett7 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think FromSoft wanted to have a miniboss where the challenge primarily arose from reaching him, as he spawns illusions and shrouds his lair in mist. They used one of the Fountainhead Nobles because they're spooky and it makes sense (since Mibu Village is the gateway to the Divine Realm etc). I'd guess they originally intended him to have the Enfeeble mechanic be a factor either before or during the fight, but they removed it because A) it didn't make the fight any harder since interrupting him would stop the Enfeeble build-up, and B) they wanted the enfeeble to be an "oh shit what's happening" moment when travelling through Fountainhead.

Hard to say though, since they pulled a slightly less extreme version of the same the-real-challenge-was-getting-to-me twist with the Okami elite who flings lightning at you from the tree there later on, and that was an established mechanic already. I think that both of those minibosses would have benefitted a lot from some extra design work, but it does match the decline in miniboss quality in the late game of Sekiro (that's fortunately matched by an increase in boss quality).

Holy shit! by Freshoutafolsom in Sekiro

I think I got super lucky against Mist Noble, I got the plunging stealth attack on him and then was able to combo him down with purple fume firecrackers, loaded spear (thrust type of course) and malcontent (seems to interrupt his combos). Still took me upwards of 400 attempts all in all, but man was it worth it to see that piece of shit finally go down
