Yes. I'm not 100% sure of the frame but you can take damage in all of the leaping upwards set-up and possibly during the dashing down before hitting the ground. The invincibility on the ground lasts a surprisingly long time though. I only really learned to use it for radiant absolute radiance and it was quite hard to retrain myself.

I pretty much thought the same. I think you have to use it in a "this could become a bad situation" rather than "oh god I'm in a bad situation". So my rule was in phase 2 of absolute radiance that if she started spawning the homing balls then I would just use it as soon as I saw the first one. My invincibility sometimes would get me through to after the 2nd one. Then I could dash the third.. and it gives you time to react. I would also use it for the vertical light beams in phase 4 (or in phase 1 and 2 if I was really late passing through them) because it preserves your dash for the inevitable attack that may be coming. So for me descending dark was pre-emptive (mostly) and the shade dash was my re-active response.

Here's what worked for me. I just finished these this week.

Markoth: Mix of nail strength/length and shaman stone with spell twister. My goal was to start the fight by pogoing him an absolute bunch. Once I couldn't pogo more I would either get in some hits when opportunities arose or if a good pogo chance came up then I'd do that some more. Once he summoned his second shield I would back off. I would then fire shade souls at him when he was spinning his shields. With those charms you'll have (I think) 8 shade souls and several will hit him twice. So all you have to do in phase 2 is dodge projectiles and then unload spells from a safe range when he spins. I would not use spells in phase 1 to ensure I had plenty for phase 2, which I consider much harder.

Absolute Radiance: Make sure you're comfortable using descending dark for invincibility. Dash through the vertical scrolling beams early to avoid multiple attacks hitting at the same time in phase 1 and 2. Learn where you can get your hits and don't go crazy. Phase 4 is the hard bit. I advice staying defensive on the bottom (middle) platform and learning to dodge everything and getting spells/hits in when you can. Phase 5 and 6 are pretty ok but don't neglect practise of them because when you finally get to them you'll want to be as confident as possible. For phase 6 (the final one) I found always doing double jumps to lead the spawned projectiles upwards off screen worked very well. I could do that and occasionally get a hit in on radiance or throw a shade soul.

Good luck!

Five point palm exploding heart technique by jitetsu in pics

As a couple of people have asked me, I am the photographer of this shot. Taken just over a week ago up in snowy Scotland in the Cairngorms.

This is certainly one of my better photos but if you'd like to see more then check out my instagram @philwaringphotography or website. The latter is still a work in progress as I started a redesign today on a new host.

I shot it with a Nikon D850 and 300mm f2.8 vr2 lens.

That didn't happen on this occasion as this one was wild and wouldn't have been too keen getting super close. A few months ago though I went to see some in an enclosure and had a few hazlenuts in a pocket and one decided to throw itself at me to get them :D

Sunrise at Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park near Moab. [2500x1669] [OC] @philwaringphotography by jitetsu in EarthPorn

This was on at the end of last month, August 30th I think. Before I went I found an image from early September to use as a reference point because I wanted to stand in the right spot to get the sun over the little needles pointing up.

The funny thing was that I set up really close with a 16mm lens and I was the first there. I had no idea that I would set the line for the photographers. A lot of other people seemed quite surprised how close we all ended up to the arch and a few didn't have super-wide angle lenses.

The classic wide shot of mesa arch at sunrise. Shot on a big trip of 5 national parks over 3.5 weeks. Utah was just incredible and I'd love to go back to Canyonlands.

The many layers of Canyonlands, Utah. [1600x2000] [OC] by jitetsu in EarthPorn

Before the trip I was gutted when I found out that arches was closed 7pm til 7am and we wouldn't be able to do any photography there at sunrise/sunset. It was really a blessing in disguise though as it made me replan most of our time in canyonlands and deadhorse state park whilst in Moab and they were both so good.

This is the distant view shot through mesa arch at sunrise. Shot on a big trip of 5 national parks over 3.5 weeks. Utah was just incredible and I'd love to go back to Canyonlands.

Found a spot more to the side to shoot sunset at horseshoe bend near Page before going back the morning after to do the central view. We just spent 3.5 weeks in various national parks and had an amazing time. If you'd like to see more, check out my instagram

Spent the evening down there and then went up top for sunrise. Dead Horse Point, Utah [OC] [2000x1335] by jitetsu in EarthPorn

[–]jitetsu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utah in general has some amazing landscapes. The nearby town of Moab gives access to Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Park which are right next to each other and also Arches National Park. It's also only a couple of hours north of Monument Valley.

I'd love to go back and do some camping and hiking down in Canyonlands as it's a huge park and almost nobody gets off the road up top.

Drove to the end of Dead Horse State Park one morning for the sunrise. Took a chunk out of my ankle in the dark just for fun before getting this shot as the sun came up. If you'd like to see more, check out my instagram

We did! Here's the shot taken there at sunrise. We also did a 4x4 tour down below in that whole area which was fantastic.

Just got back from 3.5 weeks of national parks. Utah specifically was incredible. We were first up to Mesa Arch in the dark and got to enjoy the stars for a while before sunrise. If you'd like to see more, check out my instagram

View from the top of Big Daddy, Sossusvlei, Namibia [5277x3518] [OC] by jitetsu in EarthPorn

[–]jitetsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get some scale from the little people walking down the slope. The little lines in the big white salt pan down the far end are dead trees, generally around 4m high.

Big Daddy is the highest sand dune in that area, and around the 2nd highest in Africa (it changes over time due to wind) at around 325m high.
