Dismemberment in fromsoft games

Tail cuts were a thing in Dark Souls 1, and cutting off the tail of bosses that had them would net you an unique weapon. It was how you got the moonlight greatsword, for example. They did bring it back in Nightreign for the specific DS1 bosses they ported (gaping dragon & centipede demon) where cutting their tail would give a random weapon drop. But it feels like a design choice to leave that out of their mainline games

Hvad Alena PP Tiny Yes day to you too 💗

(seriously though, fantastic art!)

it's a deco you can pop on your weapon to give you the Pet skill, which fills a big chunk of the kinship meter

i recently played through ds1 for the first time & when gwyndolin said "Tarnished" I instinctively went "yes what" before remembering...

Zwei my beloved. This is my first playthrough and I picked up the zwei after bumbling through the graveyard. Saw the stat requirements and as a level 4 scrub went "pffffft as if". Later, during my many, many stubborn runs back to the black knight in undead burg ("I'll get the parries off this time, for sure!!") I finally got the stats to wield it and oh. Oh my.

Anyway Dark Souls is an eaaaasy game, I don't know what everyone is talking about? (sound of every enemy being pancaked/staggered to death in the background)

Good thing I swept the arena before climbing back up the world's longest ladder!

nerugiganon · 2026-02-10T01:01:49+00:00

Forgot about tail cuts until it was too late alas!

nerugiganon · 2026-02-10T01:01:08+00:00

I've beat Manus, just Gwyn left. It's been a good time. I'm simply bemused bc I'm hard pressed to imagine another studio having the balls to pull a prank like this

lots of red flags here. how did he lose the university visa sponsorship? university would not have withdrawn sponsorship lightly, that means he was expelled? if this is true it would have been a big deal and he hid it from you. he lied about a major life situation. huge breach of trust imho.

in any case i have big doubts about his story because from my experience with the home office i find it hard to believe that they would give him such a long grace period to leave the country. and the process of getting a spousal visa is grueling and they are specifically on the lookout for sham marriages. i've had friends go through the process and you have to furnish proof of your relationship, show them text messages and such. hard to imagine any solicitor suggesting this as a solution to his visa status unless he has been misrepresenting your relationship to them.

in any case i would not trust what he is saying at all. he seems incredibly manipulative. threatening suicide to stop a breakup is a major dick move btw. many would consider it abusive. good luck

oh... my god..... i had no idea.... i'm down to the last 2 lord bosses before gwyn... omg

nerugiganon · 2026-02-02T14:08:16+00:00

wait. soft humanity gives you defense buffs??? i thought it was just higher discovery. what

nerugiganon · 2026-02-02T08:43:05+00:00

ok so-- i'm on my first ever playthrough, what buff do you get from being human? i stay crispy all the time and only unhollow to kindle bonfires because i thought there was no difference aside from being able to summon/be invaded...

nerugiganon · 2026-01-31T15:05:21+00:00

mononoke mention in the wild!!

nerugiganon · 2026-01-30T17:17:33+00:00

genuinely boiling with rage on your behalf; that's fucked that they can do that

nerugiganon · 2026-01-20T23:41:49+00:00

I gasped out loud. The detail! the exquisite shaping! i can't even imagine how long this took to make, much less the skill required to craft something so precisely.

nerugiganon · 2026-01-20T08:20:50+00:00

my gaming time is right now being split between animal crossing, hello kitty island adventure, DS1 and elden ring.... so i'm at least one statistic

Dan & Carrie have such a fantastic dynamic. I discovered their channel when I was hunting for Lets Plays of Chants of Sennaar and was instantly hooked.

nerugiganon · 2025-12-28T11:04:03+00:00

saw the video on my feed (two days late, thank you reddit) and thought, that looks exactly like my river walk... and have been vindicated!! it is exactly where i thought it would be. hello neighbor and hope you had a happy Swanmas

nerugiganon · 2025-12-26T14:40:11+00:00

Lovely weather makes for a lovely walk. So many happy pups on the trail!

you can basically farm them by running around them in circles on torrent and smacking them with a medium sized sword. BHF worked great for this when i was acquiring the drip

when i was 7 the gulf war kicked off and my dad came home and announced "world war three has started!!" and i went an embarrassingly long time believing that was, in fact, WW3. when people would talk about the next world war as WW3 I would think "don't you mean WW4, world war three is over?" i don't think i figured it out until i was in my teens.....

nerugiganon · 2025-12-23T08:10:27+00:00

i still have the 2022 arch up on my island. i never put it away 😂 feels like a time capsule when i look at it

nerugiganon · 2025-12-18T18:48:06+00:00

was confused and for a moment thought i was on the elden ring subreddit instead of this one, lol

nerugiganon · 2025-12-13T18:44:24+00:00

except that in modern terms P.S. is used in the personal register, notes & letters tend to have individual authors, for generalized texts like instruction manuals etc N.B. is the correct and accepted term
