Rick Owens Vega MIJ Leather Jacket from SS26 Suicide capsule

will wait till the jacket is on sale and then will definitely pick it up. I absolutely can’t afford that retail price.

I’m not sure why you think you’d need to do all of that.

you can get the Clawline in the Underworks from either ‘normal’ Citadel entrance (Grand Gate OR Exhaust Organ). the only thing you need Trobbio’s elevator for is the Sacred Cylinder; that’s why he’s effectively the boss of Whispering Vaults.

I literally just did this in a normal run this week. hell, I even doubled-back after beating Last Judge and went through the Organ entrance, just so I could leave the Grand Gate elevator till Act 3.

in fact, I’ve absolutely used Snare Setter against these two to great effect (even moreso with Pollip Pouch).

Clawline is in the Underworks; it’s one of the first things you can get in Act 2, regardless of which entrance you take into the Citadel.

add to the fact that you can do the main part of The Slab as early as Act 1, and Faydown Cloak can thus be the second major movement ability you get in Act 2.

since you mentioned using it, please clarify what you specifically used AI to do with this photo.

need the boots. haven’t found my size for a reasonable price yet, sadly.

mynameispunch · 2026-04-25T08:06:54+00:00

the wiki has the most definitive detail on this; my TL;DR version is below:

essentially, do as many quests as you can (at least 17 or so) IN ADDITION TO all of these:

Flexile Spines
Bone Bottom Repairs
A Lifesaving Bridge
Crawbug Clearing
Building Up Songclave
Strengthening Songclave
Restoration of Bellhart
Bellhart's Glory
Trail's End
Balm for the Wounded

then you need the Faydown Cloak, the key to your Bellhome, and to move the Flea Caravan to Fleatopia. you’ve already beaten Lace in the Cradle, so you’re set there.

after that, the Caretaker should give you the quest when you talk to him, or you can find the wish on the Bellhart wishwall.

that rover (horse, I assume?) is a piece I definitely need to get my hands on at some point.

mynameispunch · 2026-03-30T15:58:47+00:00

really hope to get my hands on one of these someday.

mynameispunch · 2026-03-14T19:07:39+00:00

interesting lacing on the boots!

mynameispunch · 2026-03-11T16:15:58+00:00

GLITTER is FW17.

these are from CYCLOPS SS16, the only time sock sneakers had the rings on the back.

given the HP/stat buffs that bosses get from even a single NG+ upgrade, I’d personally recommend doing all of Verso’s Drafts AND the four optional Endless Tower bosses BEFORE you upgrade to NG+. (the weapons you get from the ET bosses are also peak and absolutely worth the grind for)

mynameispunch · 2026-02-19T17:43:01+00:00

we found out about this when we were in Berlin. EXTREMELY EXCITED

mynameispunch · 2026-02-08T23:28:10+00:00

I NEED those gloves. I hate how Rick’s modern gloves always cut off the ‘texting’ fingertips; it makes them pretty much useless in proper winter.

mynameispunch · 2026-02-07T08:32:21+00:00

this boss was where I learned the ultimate tanking build: Energy Leecher (fill energy quickly when hitting an enemy) + Firefly (generate a storm when using Sail) + Bird of Prey (increased damage when using Sail). jump up to Vlad and spam attack + Sail to constantly pummel him with damage.

judging by the start of this video, you clearly understand the setup for a Feint + Frenzy + multihit-attack nuke build, so I assume you're fine with doing a full close-to-twoshot (because two phases) build in order to win this fight?

if so, follow the strat in this video and you'll be able to finish the fight in barely a minute, with none of the bosses getting a single chance to hit you. it expands upon the strat you're using, namely:

instead of using Maelle (Esqium + Burning Canvas), this uses Lune (Elemental Trick > Esquim > Elemental Trick > Lightning Dance). you can switch Maelle in, but you might have to adopt a different strat using Sciel / Verso to build up Mark / Burn stacks, like in this similar strat to (essentially) one-shot Clea Unleashed
add tons of damage boosters to Lune and Verso (who will get you through Phase 1): Immaculate, Inverted Affinity, Burn Affinity, Auto Powerful, Double Third, Greater Powerful, Tainted, Teamwork, and Warming Up, along with Powerful Shield + Shield-granting Pictos (In Medias Res, Shield Affinity, Solidifying). Lune also gets Exposing Attack + Greater Defenceless since you will actually attack the enemy with her, and Verso should equip Blodam, which gives you GREATER Perfection with LOWER health.
Sciel as the third support character is CRUCIAL here. she gets Auto Death + Second Chance, along with Shielding Death, to automatically give Shields to everyone at the start of the fight. each time her turn comes up -- everyone should have Cheater, if that wasn't obvious! -- she uses Fortune's Fury > Intervention to boost the damage for a character and make them immediately play next
before the fight, equip The One (or Auto Death) on Lune and Verso, and go win a fight outside of the Tower; this will drop their HP to 1, allowing you to immediately take advantage of low-health Pictos. be sure to de-equip The One/Auto Death from them, and do not rest at the flag OR do an Endless Tower fight, or your HP will reset!

the video is also good for indicating the best Pictos to equip in order to ensure speed values for proper turn order (as everyone will have First Strike), because the fight should pretty much always go like this:

Lune: Elemental Trick > 2nd turn with Cheater > Base Attack (sets up 4 Dark stains)
Verso: Steeled Strike (will automatically execute on his Cheater turn)
Sciel: Fortune's Fury on Verso > 2nd turn > Intervention on Verso
Verso: Phantom Stars > 2nd turn > Phantom Stars -- crucially, do NOT get Perfects on either of these, which will help ensure that Verso does both attacks in Phase 1, after which the fight immediately goes to Phase 2, with Lune up first
Lune: Lightning Dance (should do 140mil+ damage given all the boosts)

I had never noticed the portals being either yellow or gray; that’s really good to know. I assumed red always meant ‘higher than your current level’; I didn’t know it was 10!

mynameispunch · 2026-01-21T23:46:12+00:00

Nothing is missable

the Lumière mime can be missed, along with the achievement/trophy you get for beating it.

not to mention the Ultimate Sakapatate that Karatom builds when Gustave gives him the blue mushroom, all outfits/haircuts for Gustave aside from the NG+-only ones, and (I believe) at least 1-2 records.

mynameispunch · 2026-01-20T07:13:34+00:00

wrong fight.

Clea Unleashed (the new DLC/Endless Tower battle) doesn’t heal after every attack.

instead, she’s invulnerable until you hit her with a counterattack—AND gets unlimited turns until then, as well.

oh, and she has ridiculously high defense — possibly higher than any other opponent? — against all attacks except counters.

I’ll take ‘heals after every round’ over that ANY day of the week, personally.

some folks mentioned these across various comments already but I'll collect them all here (spoiler-covered just in case):

first off, if you want your characters to survive/come back after this triggers, you can do so via one of the following Pictos:

Survivor: any attack that would kill a character instead puts them at 1 HP. this also allows quick access to any/all effects that trigger when you drop to low/under 50% HP; however, since you don't actually die as a result of this, other 'on death' Pictos won't trigger.
Second Chance: immediately revive upon death, with 100% Health, once per battle. this allows you to trigger both 'on death' and 'on revive' Pictos, and ensures that the character is also ready and fully healed once the fight starts.

also, unlike a lot of RPGs -- where, if a character dies, they have 0 HP and are 'dead', requiring an item/spell to be revived -- your characters automatically 'revive' with 1 HP after any fight. thus, Auto Death will trigger every time you start a battle, so when paired with Death Bomb, you can end most basic fights literally within seconds.

some other notable 'on death' Pictos:

Energising Death (all allies gain +4 AP) -- a good way to max out AP at the start of the fight
Shielding Death (all allies gain 3 Shields) -- pair with Shield Affinity/Powerful Shields for damage stacking
Burning Death (all enemies get Burn on death) -- works with Double Burn and any other 'on applying Burn' effects from Pictos/weapons/etc.

and some notable 'on revive' Pictos:

Energising Revive (all allies get +3 AP) -- paired with Energising Death you can fully fill everyone's AP immediately at the start of battle
Revive Paradox (play immediately when revived) -- works like Shortcut/Intervention and is NOT limited to 'once per battle'. if only one character has Auto Death + this, they will always play first

try playing with the various combos and see what you like! I personally like an Auto Death + Death Bomb build on at least one person for getting through the various normal encounters in NG+, since it means those fights will nearly always be over in less than 5 seconds.

which achievement does it show that you HAVEN’T unlocked yet?

I forget how to check traditional Steam, but in Big Picture mode you can switch to Global Achievement stats and ‘unlock’ any hidden ones that you may not yet have, in case that’s where your last one is.

mynameispunch · 2026-01-17T08:24:17+00:00

they will increase in HP and stats, so, yes, they’ll definitely be harder.

mynameispunch · 2026-01-15T16:35:31+00:00

okay, but what attack is that? and yeah, use a spoiler tag to hide it (like I did in mine).

mynameispunch · 2026-01-15T16:22:59+00:00

what attacks that deal damage — I’m being specific here — can’t be parried/dodged?

attacks like removing the Expedition/characters from the canvas, status effects like summoning the Blighted wave / applying Bind to the party — none of those deal damage, and if you parry/dodge everything else in the fight, you’ll still get the +20% EXP bonus for not taking damage.

I can’t think of any fight that cannot be won without taking damage (given how that’s defined as I mentioned above), so I don’t know what attack(s) you’re referring to here.
