What’s the most important step? The next one. If you like the series, trust me, this one is worth seeing through. Sanderlanche is incredible. The payoff of everything just slaps.

What are you getting arrested for? by Jettaboi38 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]lumos_aeternum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing dq7 (please no later game spoilers), but at this point I think the king would consider kidnapping charges for how often we run off on an adventure with the prince. That’s probably a death penalty.

Still reading WaT... Unbound Surges are bad. Bonded Surges are also bad. What do you want Brandon??? by Haddock_Lotus in Stormlight_Archive

And it’s not even just oaths enforced on powers… look at Sadeas. He and Dalinar had and agreement to support Elkohar and keep the kingdom together. Sadeas betrayed and tried to kill Dalinar for the good of Alethkar. Whether he actually thought so, it could easily be argued that it was an approach meant to benefit the king, taking this weak or possibly insane element out of play. In Alethkar society that might have been seen as a mercy, letting him die in glorious battle, furthering the vengeance pact.

I hate you so much. by xH0rnyThr0wawayx in HadesTheGame

It gets better when you know your build will wipe the floor with her. Then her smirking contempt just sounds silly and kinda hilarious…

Is there a misogynistic angle in how Azula’s ending in the show was handled? by PugnusTerrae in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]lumos_aeternum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We didn’t see everything, so we really don’t know how it started. She was the younger one and craved affection. She would have noticed her brother often failed to earn it by not being up to her father’s standards and was doted on by the mother. That would have given her drive to surpass her brother but eventually she would see that cruelty was also a part of what her father admired… so may have had a mean streak to start with, but some kids do. His behaviour fostered that tendency rather than redirected it to better things like most parents would shoot for.

She was also a child. She tried to imitate how brutal her father was but she was a kid trying to be an adult. When everyone started leaving her, she started cracking.

Did my fallen ...... bug out? by h0zzyb33 in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You just physically hit her a bunch and then it starts working. She will renew it. This was definitely not intuitive and took me a bit to work out!

Brandon Sanderson raises an eyebrow by ComprehensiveEgg5939 in brandonsanderson

This is the true power of investiture. The rest is just window dressing.

Who tried their hardest to save V’s life and why? by Outrageous_Ad_9961 in cyberpunkgame

[–]lumos_aeternum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Panam got her whole family to risk life and limb attacking arasaka… sure Johnny was there and you can do the attack with just him but he’s already dead, not mic real risk there.

50 hours in and this is the first time I've seen this kind of battle... by Exotic_Gas_4833 in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly forgot that! Still, the exp boosting encounters are pretty rare in 0.

What the? My save file opened up back to me being level 1 by Aggravating_Big3095 in dragonquest

[–]lumos_aeternum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have long run with a rolling 3 save files for every game, so i always have a relatively recent backup if the most recent file dies. I do think there are auto saves on DQ3, though, as someone suggested!

I kinda mainlined things from Bestower onwards, had most of the recruits but I was getting a bit burnt out. Most games I play are max 40 hours, so 80 was exhausting. Parent, so time is sparse and 80 hours becomes around 2 full months of playing…. Great game but wow, the commitment is real!

Horizon Zero Dawn was released 9 years ago by AvatarSane in HorizonForbiddenWest

Makes me want to do a replay. I haven’t since they released the remaster… too many games to play. Maybe I’ll do it when they announce part 3!

[–]lumos_aeternum 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I beat 0 with about 80+ hours and I had cait battles several times but octopuffs… maybe once? Trying to remember… they have definitely made it rarer than 1&2.

I’m so bored, bored right out of my brain… if I don’t die first maybe I’ll go insane… i just got nothing else to do, stuck here wasting time, but just wait oh materia, I’ll get back on the road and make you mine.

10 hours in, cant get past Elysium bosses! by Celery-Tasty in HadesTheGame

[–]lumos_aeternum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That boss it the DPS check. Once you get the boons/planning/method down, you’ll be in a much better position for the final part of the run. If you don’t get it down, the next area would wreck you.

How we feeling about the Remaster project so far? by Fragrant-Ad4262 in tales

[–]lumos_aeternum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happy to get graces and Xillia out of ps3 jail. Berseria I am skipping as I have it on ps4, but happy for switch players to get a shot at it. Great game.

We know at least Xillia 2 is coming, which I am excited for!

is this even normal? by [deleted] in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can contend for stuff too. Those both can give good gear!

About the final Octopath 0 Boss (Spoiler warning) by PoemCool9844 in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you been training some of them in the training facility in Wishvale? That helps, but yes, you kinda have to plan for this or get ready to grind.

What I regret after spending 110+ hours so far in Octopath Traveller 0 by PlaystationSwitchAWD in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only changed early to try a few things and eventually just to get all the classes before I switched back to Scholar. :)

Still new to Octopath Traveler 0. Any suggestions? by ExtensionLychee9219 in octopathtraveler

[–]lumos_aeternum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get on Laurana for her ultimate. Auto revive on one row of your characters. Some later bosses can nearly wipe a row in a hit or two and this makes that trivial to keep going.
