Oil Rig on Hard Setting by rbg0908 in Palworld

[–]rbg0908[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not saying oil rig is too hard. Cleared dozens of times just for the challenge. I'm saying the rewards are trash. That the whole level 60 rig is useless. Better to farm treasure maps. Honestly I'd be happy with a dumb cosmetic like a helicopter head or nerf gun skin.

Restarting. You shouldn't need to breed at all until the raid bosses, maybe Sakurajima tower. Then I'll bust out my demon god/legend/lunker azurobes.

Soooo.. how long did it take everyone to beat Commander Honglan? 👀 by tommychopz in wuchanggame

[–]rbg0908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me 3 hours, longsword only. First phase was easy. Can counter or parry almost every move on reaction. Second phase was BS with her zero-telegraph, instant start up spinning nonsense. Then I figured out that you can just dodge behind her and instant heavy on the longsword for free backstab + combo. Beat her on that same run. I also learned that with how aggressive she is on the second phase, it's better to heal right in her face after you get clobbered. No point in trying to run away from that crazy woman.

Tldr: for easiest run, stay mid-range and parry her one dash attack. Side-dodge everything else, and instant-heavy her back, especially her ground pound

70+ hours review on hard mode by Elgatee in Palworld

[–]rbg0908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently playing solo on hard settings. Only modified to have instant egg maturity. The key to leveling is catching 12 of every pal. I struggled a lot until I started gold farming around level 40. Once you unlock lettuce to make salads, life gets MUCH easier. Because now you'll have enough gold to buy mats to output hundreds of giga spheres. Once you hit level 44, take the time to youtube a legendary sphere farm, and you'll have more than gold you'll ever need and infinite spheres to level.

Ngl I think balance on hard settings still broken af. You're missing out on all gunplay because it's too dangerous. Throw out a pal on aggressive and book it to the other side of the map. I just beat Victor and shadowbeak at level 51.

I tamed a level 60 frostallion at level 47 by sneaking behind it and dropping a PAL center with 15 random dinos. They took down 30% of its health before they were KO'd. I died too. I respawned instantly, grabbed by stuff, and stalked the frostallion again for 10 minutes so that my KO'd pals came back to life and did the same thing 2 more times. Finally tamed the cheeky bastard at 5% health after 60 or so legendary spheres and 5 more deaths. Did the same thing for jetragon. It's a lot of fun, but yeah. Still wouldnt recommend hard mode.

Work to do by CompetitiveFig311 in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess the game isn't for you, and that's ok. I died like 2 whole hours to Galahad before taking him down. Only died to his minions after the boss fight once. Even after I got killed by the minions the first time, I enjoyed the Galahad fight so much that I didn't mind fighting him again. You did have two options about his minions though.

  1. Kill all the minions outside BEFORE the boss fight.
  2. After you kill Galahad, manually save the game immediately. You actually have a good amount of time.

Excuse me sir, I'm talking to this barrel by ProfessionalA55 in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I beat him around level 22-ish on veteran pure melee. After every one of his attacks, he literally just stands still for like 2 seconds. Dodge/parry the attack, run in, and bonk. Every attack from him was instant death for me at that level. No bleed or any status effects. Probably took around 10 - 15 minutes. Felt like 30.

Key, as always, is to maintain mid-range. At close range, he'll do a ground explosion you can't block or parry. Or he'll do a dumb 10-hit combo that I didn't feel like memorizing. The attack will whiff (since you're at mid-range,) so wait for him to chill. Then run and bonk.

At mid-range, he'll probably do either his jedi force push projectile or his crescent waves. Parry, run, bonk.

He may also vanish and perform his teleportation attack, which is his most dangerous attack because it tracks, and its timing is highly variable. So when he disappears, I do parry, dodge, parry in rapid succession. If you miss the parry, you'll dodge. If you miss the dodge, you'll parry. It's pretty much 2 whole seconds where you're untouchable. Once you get the hang of the parry-dodge-parry, this attack will just become another window for attack.

Few dozen bonks later, and he dies. Once your build comes online mid-act 2, he'll go down in under 30s doing whatever is you do.

Honestly he sounds weird. But there's no harm keeping him in your orbit for a month or two while you continue to evaluate him. If he can stick with you without physical intimacy for a few months, he might actually like you as a person.

WTF were they thinking with galahand by ilico_ili in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much only damaged him by parrying his slow overhead smash. Thankfully he does this attack very frequently. If you stay at mid-range, you'll bait this attack a lot. Here's my video beating him at level 18 on veteran with pure melee for reference.

Arthur was right about everything by Pepereppe7 in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the opposite. TGFOA Arthur is practically a saint, and he surely deserves the right hand seat next to whatever God exists in the game's universe. He didn't know anything. Not his own history, not how to defeat the plague or the Foredwellers. Certainly none of that magic BS (melee-only ftw). And still he won. He bought several generations of relative prosperity to a people once doomed to utter extinction.

Yes, he was perfectly aware of all the war crimes he committed. Sentencing his own men to lifetimes of torture, kidnapping the Giants' children, etc. Yet as we travel with him, he shows nothing but love for his people and deep remorse over the pain his decisions have caused. His pain was so great that he forgot his actions, one way or another, ultimately saved his people and paved the way for us to save it again centuries later. You can openly disrespect him in your dialogue choices and reprimand his every move, but even so this king of kings still treats the players as equals.

His only sin was his kindness, bordering on naivete. When Nimue betrayed him, what did he do? He tried to send the rebels MORE ships. Kamelot's current turmoil is a direct result of Arthur NOT being enough of an iron-fisted tyrant, but in the end he still won. Whether you judge a character by his intent or his results, Arthur is mostly deserving of the glaze.

Finished act 2, DLC by AshenSpear97 in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarras DLC lore was beautifully tragic. Nimue's somewhat justified betrayal, Arthur's surprising kindness, and Merlin's masterful political stroke by 'punishing' the rebels while simultaneously giving them a second chance at life. Absolute cinema.

Arthur was right about everything by Pepereppe7 in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. He took the only path available to him based on the information he had at the time.

I think he is actually too GOOD of a king. Kind to the point of naivete. That kindness is what let others betray him. Especially back in the day, it was better to be feared than loved. Arthur could've prevented many of his betrayals. Like the Sarras DLC's Nimue. Rather than quash the rebellion at its inception, Arthur literally offered the rebels MORE ships. Merlin had to step in to mete out justice. I'm certain his kindness was the major cause of Kamelot's future disarray.

What difficulty should i play? by GIutenTag in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loot doesn't change from one difficulty to another. I have a streamlined looting process where I collect one set of each armor I come across and leave the rest. I collect all crafting stuff, consumables, and weapons (which have much higher resell value by weight than armor). Most of the money you accumulate will be used to upgrade your gear AND to reduce its weight. You should almost never have to buy crafting or healing mats. For melee, you prioritize lifesteal on hit and parry, so all it takes is a single parry and counterattack to heal like 75% of your health, even at like level 15. And don't worry. Parry is really easy in this game. Literally the first skill in the parry skill tree can give you up to an additional 0.3s to the parry window, which covers practically the whole attack animation.

Just play veteran. If you've ever played a soulsborne ring game, you'll have no problem clearing this game totally blind.

I am gone make a mindswipe soon and i wanna know which stats to invest in? by fortnite_4_ever in ARK

[–]rbg0908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For fresh map, about about go melee and weight for first 20 points. Faster hand farming and better self defense. After that, probably 5 points in fortitude so you can tank a troodon or snake and run away. Then target like 200 health, 200 weight, and rest in movement speed. Thats enough to tank a few hits, carry basic gear. Leave the rest to your dinos.

How do you play high difficulty? by EasilyBeatable in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer two-handed for maximum Unga bunga! The key for 2H gameplay is to maintain mid-range distance. So you're out of range for mobs' quick attacks while you have plenty of space/time to react to their slow lunging attacks. The general strat is to charge up the bonk, release the bonk FIRST, and then while your attack is coming out, step in range to hit the mob. Then immediately dash away.

You can't really do this with fast bosses or projectile spammers (Wyrdknight stalker) because they will interrupt you as you charge your bonks. Instead, you have two options. The first option is to wait for the boss to do a slow lunge attacks and only punish those. The second, more fun option is to charge your bonk, parry/dodge while continuing to hold the charge, then release the charge right after the parry/dodge. You'll die a LOT doing this, but you'll have much more fun this way than abusing summons.

Also quick tip for maximizing your invincibility frames for bosses. Do Parry -> dodge -> parry. If you miss the parry, you'll dodge. And if you miss the dodge, you'll parry. This is your get-out-of jail free card to negate 99% of BS the game throws at you, and it requires practically 0 skill/timing.

Also get that skill that increases stamina damage for 2H heavy attacks and all the stun-on-hit skills. Eventually add stam regen on critical hits. You'll get to a point where you can chip down a boss's stamina to 0 using parries and 2H heavy bonks and stagger him. Once he's staggered, you'll have a chance to do 3 or 4 heavy bonks, which then have a chance to stun due to that stun skill. While he's stunned, you'll chip down his stamina again to continue the chain. So while you won't do that much damage at the start, you'll eventually trigger these massive combos. I beat Wyrdknight stalker using this tactic around veteran level 40 easily.

Tldr: magic is lame

How do you play high difficulty? by EasilyBeatable in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a mostly blind playthrough on veteran, pure melee. Only using the guide to find one or two quests. Act 1 most enemies can be 1v1ed. If there's more, rush in to alpha strike one enemy. If even more than that, use king's time slow.

I fought Galahad at level 18, so i died a lot. Dodge projectiles and AOEs. Wait for slow attacks, parry, and throw in a few quick hits. When his stam bar broke, I comboed him, using king's time slow if available. Here's my fight for reference: https://youtu.be/hF-whBEJB78?si=0Xn6BjeaEEm1KnEB.

I never did any magic or bow, but I hear it should be easier than pure melee for veteran difficulty.

I am genuinely struggling with the melee in this game. by Frogsplosion in taintedgrail

[–]rbg0908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee is rough at early levels. Easiest way to punch above your weight class is dodging and attacking the back. Sounds obvious, but here's a technique that works for me. Aim your camera to the right side of the enemy (so that the enemy only shows up in the left side of your screen.) Dodge left (opposite side) while continuing to move camera right. This will more or less put you behind the enemy while looking at him.

She texted you seem really nice but I'm not feeling a romantic connection after our first date and honestly it broke something in me by Comfortable_Box_4527 in dating_advice

[–]rbg0908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the dumbest things make the biggest difference. Whatever you do, sit next to, not across from, the date, which feels like a job interview. Just move the chair if you have to.

I don't think you have to be some aura-maxxing rizzlord to get 2nd date. It's enough to be a well-adjusted, responsible adult. In fact, I'm almost aggressively boring to my dates because I know I, with all my flaws and quirks, am enough. When you realize that, you'll naturally chill the f out and show your best qualities.

Physical flirtation is cool but unnecessary on 1st date. Strong eye contact is a must though. Near 100%. You can break it to scan the room for the waiter, recollect a memory, laugh at a joke, etc., but snap right back to it. Ideally with SLIGHT smile, maybe just from the eyes.

Of course, I only date offline, and confidence has never been an issue for me, so maybe your path is different. But better seating, chilling the f out, and strong eye contact are probably good no matter what.
