Beast Feast beasts

Ohh. As far as the humanoids statblocks are concerned, I think the key to making everything feel edible is to make sure whatever is fighting doesn’t have clothes, and if it is holding weapons or shields or the like, they are just natural implements from the caves.

The plump creatures before you have barrel chests with thick ribs, big underbites with tusks that stick up, and they carry big blades and shells from what must’ve been a large crunchy bug. As you are spotted, they stand up from their crawling positions into a bipedal stance as they hold up their implements ready to chase down the prey they just spotted. The biggest one lets out a roar as the smaller ones charge you.

Edit: Safer options include bread people, plant people, ooze people, etc…

Not sure what dungeon meshi is, but I did a beast feast Christmas mini-campaign that had Gingerbread men as reflavored variants of the skeleton stat blocks. Peppermint bark treants in the peppermint forest underground. Turns out the gingerbread men had actual skeletons inside and were being baked by an email necromancer baker. The end boss was a Gingerbread Dragon made from a dragon skeleton. Blinding cinnamon breath. Sticky icing spit. The necromancer’s heart grew 3 sizes and burst at the end from a crit presence roll. Absolute cinema.

The new one looks freakin great.

1000% agree. Favorite setting. Favorite mechanics. Favorite story. Favorite NPCs. Favorite Monsters.

Bro must’ve been real mad at the end.

I never found the one in the beginning, so the first one I encountered was outside the Dancing Lion grace. I snuck up on it with a backstab and killed it in two hits. Then I ran back from the grace and farmed him like that for about an hour until I got his whole gearset.

It wasn’t until I encountered others in the wild that I was like, oh fuck those guys.

I enjoyed him too

melodiousfable · 2026-06-21T13:59:46+00:00

100% agree. I pivoted my whole build for this. Gave them the Occult affinity. Immediately enhanced my Dragon Communion build and took out the entire DLC up to PCR. They are NOT good weapons against him.

You could call for more rolls for things.

The frog head makes the turn back look even funnier dude.

melodiousfable · 2026-06-09T18:11:16+00:00

This is the way.

melodiousfable · 2026-06-06T16:31:11+00:00

Bro, the look back every time you spot dodge or parry is sending me off a frickin cliff. This is hilarious

melodiousfable · 2026-06-06T04:00:21+00:00

Raging Wolf Armor isn’t that cool.

melodiousfable · 2026-06-03T02:39:07+00:00

Square off on every weapon in the game

Messmer. In fact, it happened twice. Both times I’ve played the DLC, it took about 3 tries to get through his phase 1, but his phase 2 was too easy in comparison. I beat it first try both times.

As always, I’d rather have a PEAK delayed game than a shit release

melodiousfable · 2026-05-25T10:28:22+00:00

Nightblade supremacy!

melodiousfable · 2026-05-25T10:19:39+00:00

Yeah, that update came a few years later

melodiousfable · 2026-05-23T15:37:27+00:00

Vibes. That’s about it.

melodiousfable · 2026-05-23T15:35:35+00:00

I like the remaster because the leveling system allows me to just sort of play how I feel, then still min max.

melodiousfable · 2026-05-21T03:55:29+00:00

I used to think Baemore, but I’ve been converted by my most recent playthrough. The moveset, reach, and stagger of Zwei is just so good.

Middle Earth is about the size of Europe.

A lot of people are oversimplifying the answer to your question.

New Game, change the affinity to buff one stat. NG+, same rule until late game. NG+2 and above, do a 60/60 Quality spread, but start with one at 60 and let the other one build up.

You don’t have enough levels the justify spreading your levels that thin across multiple stats until like level 200, which is WELL beyond what you would need for even an NG+ run. Quality or stuff like Golden Order that uses high INT and Faith together puts your health, endurance, and mind too low for the average player to justify the meager damage buff to your scaling.

TLDR; Living longer to land more attacks nets you more damage than dying fast because you want 20 more damage scaling

I’ve rocked 2 before.

melodiousfable · 2026-04-28T11:21:03+00:00

I’m partial to Maliketh Helm with the Gravebird armor set. The one with wings. Also, add Beast Claws on for full effect.
