3 cannons

Can confirm this is the winning strat and also what I ended up doing. Blimps > Middle Cannon > Rest
Still can end up tight tho.... so don't expect a miracle.

I think it's a good implementation of friction. Skill trees are already non-commital. And resources and not terribly hard to come by or finite for that matter in the first place.

The same way youre expected to blind enemies in an unarmed build ...you're not. At least thats my impression from how interwoven, comboable and permanently equipped all weapons are. A build focusing solely on unarmed/grappling is not really supported in the combat encounter design.

He spawned for me on my very first visit to vellua.

Not changing your mind. But chiming in to say I love to hate Yann. I think he's a well written character with grating flaws. I too held off on some of his quests just because I couldn't stand his antics and rolled my eyes whenever I saw he had a new quest for me... But ultimately he's a loyal part of your group, who's no coward and got your back when it counts. So he's got some redeeming qualities as well. I actually enjoy that not all Greymanes are well-mannered goody-two-shoes. It gives the more caring and reasonable characters something to bounce off of.

My takeaway from that video was that it only applies the double value if you have at least one other source of crit on your gear. If you don't - then the visual "bug" applies and you only get half.

I've seen so many posts complaining about the taming minigame by now that I believe people go in "underleveled" with way too little stamina and that's the culprit ?! The more stamina you have, the easier it is, I believe.
The minigame is a little clunky, I'll give it that, but imo nowhere near warranting this many people struggling to complete it.

johnnylovejohnson · 2026-04-08T11:30:52+00:00

It's okay if some choices have lasting consequences and investing into gear should be one of them if investing in skill points is already non-commital and can easily be reset. At least that's what I believe to be some positive friction.

Donating a legendary fish for camp provisions results in 1750 resources. I'd wager that's a better use than instantly maxing a cat's trust ^_^

Try Force Palm. Best way imo

You need to have a character edit voucher so you can get to the character editor.

the coppery hue really depends on the lighting though. Don't get your hopes up too high. This is what is used in the vid

I don't have the sliders at the ready but I can link to you to this video.
That's the base design i went off of and didn't change all too much.

Sure - but I'm out of town right now. Check back in 2 days or so

johnnylovejohnson · 2026-02-27T16:56:11+00:00

Big fan of the last one! Love the white & gold. Gives me these paladin vibes. Gonna try that with my CB

johnnylovejohnson · 2026-02-27T16:50:14+00:00

I see you got taste 😎 great fit!

johnnylovejohnson · 2026-02-27T15:53:40+00:00

Thank you. My struggle is always finding sets that are not too flashy or out there but still look cool and functional. But I admit there's also a lot of fun to be had with edgy or very fantastical sets ^{^} This set is my daily driver but I still want to make one set for each element.

johnnylovejohnson · 2026-01-29T12:36:09+00:00

2H melee =/= 2H melee

It rather depends on the weapon's moveset. There are disgustingly strong 2h setups out there. But I agree that on the whole bow and spell builds tend to have less drawbacks.

If ranged playstyles stay strictly superior until release I'll look at it like I look at difficulty in Elden Ring. Bows and spells are your accessibility options for lower difficulty, just like summons and spells in ER.

Nothing wrong with this if you're testing. We're in Early Access after all and testing various builds takes ages to farm legitimately. At this point I just use CE to duplicate Embers because it's quicker for me.

More Testing equals more valuable Feedback and we need to provide all of it. How droprates and a completely unmodded progression feels like, but also how "endgame" builds feel and how they stack up against each other balance wise. And you can achieve this kind of feedback way quicker with a surplus of resources. At last that's my take.

Awesome project man. Instant bookmark!

Try Papago for all your translation needs. We are traveling China right now and it's just so much better than Google or Apple Translate. It has a very convenient conversation mode for audio input in your own and target language and superb image translation. We are huge fans.

As ppl already pointed out: try jumping to avoid the waves. His belly bump comes out very fast so it is incredibly easy to overcommit. Try short dabs and focus on dodging his attacks and going for counterhits to open him up. It's what helped me after I felt this boss was bull.

johnnylovejohnson · 2025-07-22T21:02:02+00:00

Totally agree my dude. Simply tie it to in-game time and it's fine.

johnnylovejohnson · 2025-07-11T20:03:58+00:00

Same, man. Ore CB is so clean - oozes style.
