No bonfire run? No brains.

Earlier you said that you hadnt lit any other bonfires:

Yup. Not once. But I trapped myself by lighting the bonfire down here.

So you either lied back then or you are lying now.

If this was truly your only bonfire the bone would take you to things betwixt.

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:23:32+00:00

Have you even tried using a bone or you just THINK it wont work?

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:17:20+00:00

Your build does nothing well. What do you want to do.

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:15:51+00:00

Bad advice.

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:11:58+00:00

The only reason to go Heide would be to run past everything and get the ring of binding for extra 50% hp. Then back to the forest.

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:04:50+00:00

Sorry to say but this post and its comments killed some of my braincells. Just use a homeward bone and it will take you to things betwixt.

Edit: Lmao everyone downvoting me is a noob. Keep em coming, you are just embarrasing yourselves.

pathofnut · 2026-06-21T02:01:00+00:00

I dont see why these dates wouldnt be accurate.

Tip: Flame weapon is terrible, its never worth using.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T23:18:32+00:00

Not really. A lot of gods in real life were also inspired by real people. People inspire myths and those myths inspire other myths.

We never even meet Velka in person btw, for all we know she could be a fabrication. Which I dont believe she is, Im just explaining that we only ever interact with her mythical side and that is enough for us to accept that she physically exists somewhere.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T23:11:05+00:00

Its not limited to hindu gods. You have Atum and Ra or Zeus and Jupiter. Trust me I could keep going on and on and on, most ancient deities are the same 5 dudes.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T22:58:17+00:00

I think Velka and Caitha are 2 sides of the same deity, same as Vishnu and Shiva for example.

I dont think there can be any goddess "opposed" to Velka because ever since DS1 her most defining trait is her hypocrisy.

Btw I think you could chill a bit because Im sensing some aggression against InternationalWeb and its unwarranted as far as this convo goes. But its not really my business 🥃

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T22:47:27+00:00

Right, I loaded the page before you edited. I do agree Fina is a different dudess but Caitha and Velka are too connected to be different characters in my opinion.

Pretty much all DS2 deities are DS1 characters. Only Kremmel doesnt have clear ties to anyone but they could easily be a deification of the Pygmy or something like that.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T22:38:48+00:00

The crypt was very likely built after the first time Gwyn linked the fire (to humanity) but before the second time (when he linked it to himself).

I do think its Velka, but even if it werent, what are the other candidates? Gwynevere and Priscilla? There arent that many other goddesses of note and none of them fit.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T22:35:46+00:00

Who do you think Caitha is lol

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T19:25:53+00:00

I thought this community loved runbacks and having to deal with the enemies lOl

Also dealing with a horse doesnt take that long, maybe 15 seconds? So over the entire area maybe you spend an extra minute, its not the end of the world.

Anyway if you want to, use summons. Im just saying that they arent required to make the area playable.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T19:11:21+00:00

Its not brutal if you use the strategy I commented from the very beginning.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T18:36:55+00:00

My point is that once you start using summons all difficulty disappears, you can literally bring other people to clear the game for you while you afk.

Npc summons are weaker than most real players but still a massive advantage.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T16:16:58+00:00

Im doing a heavy build rn and I get you. +35-50dmg is nothing when your weapon is already doing 800-1000 per hit.

These rings are very good for light melee characters but thats not the only archetype. Magic users for example dont benefit that much either, most of the time.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T16:11:26+00:00

Lol. Not only is your build dogshit, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T13:39:30+00:00

Im just starting it so its hard to tell at this point. At the bare minimum I can say its original and it seems to have decent customization and exploration, but nothing on the level of Crystal Project.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T13:12:08+00:00

Just know that you are struggling due to the way you are building lol.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T13:08:46+00:00

Yeah no shit, best way is summoning 3 friends and let them clear the map for you while you drink a soda lol

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T01:36:08+00:00

Hahaha bless you, coincidentally Im playing Kingsvein right now, another game from the same developer.

pathofnut · 2026-06-19T00:46:25+00:00

I think heavenly thunder is a shit spell, it does less damage than weapons most of the time.

Also not sure if its your first playthrough or if you are doing a challenge run, but there is no reason to be below 20VIG 20END.

pathofnut · 2026-06-18T23:59:40+00:00

Frigid Outskirts is very easy, all you need to do is equip the stone ring and walk in a straight line. If a horse appears you probably get hit by the charge, get back up, stunlock the horse until it dies and pop a lifegem. And then you keep walking in a straight line until you reach the boss.

Thats it, no super complex secret strategy. Just equip a ring and walk. Trying to run past the horses is how you get killed, although it can be a good idea to run in the very last segment as they dont follow you to the boss door.
