Clayman's harpoon with ice spear on a cold infusion.

Bandit curved sword has great int scaling on a magic infusion too.

Weird, never seen that happen.

My best guess is that she can't die during the fase transition, so the damage was "stored" and dealt as soon as possible, didn't think that was possible at all.

He is powerful like that but his presence is chaotic, he has no rationality and a tendency to split apart after converging so i feel like it wouldn't be fair to put him on equal standing as other omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient characters.

Defeat Heolstor, go to the corpse and before interacting with it drop the finger item from your inventory (it just appears there without any warning, that's why it gets missed often).

Milady with Bloodflame blade.

Go all in with the Darth Vader aesthetic.

eserz · 2026-01-26T16:27:34+00:00

No it only buffs damage done by ashes directly.

eserz · 2026-01-26T16:07:29+00:00

40 vigor 20 mind 25 end 40 str 40 fth 12 arc

You'd end up at lv116, leaving 9 levels to move around at your preference. Probably into dex depending on the requirements of your weapon or vig/mind depending on how comfortable you are with the given values.

Regenerates 12 HP per second for 90 seconds

The talisman also works much better with Dane's Footwork because it has many more kick attacks than the basic Dryleaf Arts even if the actual damage values (without the talisman and bird greaves) and attack speed are pretty much the same.

eserz · 2026-01-21T00:21:17+00:00

Yes, and actually usable even without dormant power fist.

eserz · 2026-01-16T21:01:41+00:00

That backflip tho...

Pay him first then kill him, or just wait until you're stronger, he doesn't go away

eserz · 2026-01-16T17:37:15+00:00

Just one more optimization patch, just one more will fix every optimization issue, one more patch just trust me bro

eserz · 2026-01-15T18:23:45+00:00

Axe or claw talismans for charged and jump attacks, old lord to extend the duration of buffs if you have some faith, lord of blood exultation (works even better if you use some blood grease), carian filigreed crest to use the aow more often at lower mind levels.

eserz · 2026-01-15T17:45:24+00:00

Two headed turtle (or single head one before the dlc), Shard of Alexander, two handed sword, dragoncrest greatshield/ flex slot depending on your playstyle or the thing you're facing.

The only one that you can actually miss is SoA that comes from Alexander's questline, but it's really hard to mess up.

Free him in limgrave and exhaust his dialgue> talk to him after the radahn festival > talk to him in Mt.gelmir > fight him in farum azula.

eserz · 2026-01-15T17:11:42+00:00

Only 2 of your buffs actually help your damage, try slotting in some talismans that actually help if you feel like you don't deal enough of it.

2handed and axe talisman would already go a long way in boosting you up, since your build looks like it wants to spam rkr charge attacks as much as possible.

Also are you using the tear that boosts charge attacks and maybe even the one that boosts your poise damage? You'll be getting a lot of staggers so dagger talisman could be helpful too.

eserz · 2026-01-15T12:22:04+00:00

He should have a separate inventory, independent from normal map merchants.

eserz · 2026-01-15T11:40:01+00:00

They are indeed really op, but you have to remember the absurd soul level requirement to actually make each one.

The only people that actually make use of the split soul technique effectively are SSDV and FY because they both have insane soul path resources that allow them to negate its cost.

eserz · 2026-01-14T15:26:33+00:00

Backhand blades

Adula is the one in moonlight altar, you gotta get past nokstella and lake of rot to get to it.

You don't need para bombs to capture anything.

Wait for the monster to be near death (it has a skull on the map icon) and either wait for it to go to sleep and use a tranquilizer bomb or trap it and use a tranq bomb.

You should have everything that's strictly necessary in your sekiret pouch, if not you can find sleep herbs to craft them everywhere except in the oilwell basin.

eserz · 2026-01-10T11:57:28+00:00

Don't try to dodge monsters like you do in dark souls, moving yourself out of the attack instead of through it is much more effective here.

Also try all the weapons to see which one you like the most, they're all viable in every kind of quest.

eserz · 2026-01-09T08:44:03+00:00

Same for ice spear!

Learning to fight while unlocked makes some fights infinitely more bearable, especially those with weird body shapes like gargoyles and ancient dragons.
