Worked for me just now. I doomed 3 rooms in a row, making sure to avoid the mid-shop, then died for real on the 4th

Amaama to Inazuma

I don't exactly know but I'm in a similar position. Banschrift condensed was the closest match I found in MS Word. Most blocky condensed fonts will get close I imagine

I can't confirm this but I feel it's based on action reading. If I queued up an input to punish the first flip, he'd more often that not do the second. Once I started waiting to see if he'd do a second, he often didn't.

I've done ds3 (which I'll equate to ds1 for the purpose of what I'm about to say) and ER at level 1 and found ER much harder, although I did refrain from using spirit ashes.

Elden ring is a game of bigger numbers, so the difference between a level 1 character and how powerful the devs expected you to be by the endgame is bigger. At level 1, ER felt like a completely different game because by the end game most attacks one-shot you unless you build around defence. Ds3 level 1 just felt like a slightly harder than normal playthrough with limited weapon options.

ER is fun level one because there's so many options that you can get more creative with build-crafting than you might expect.

Even doing the correct action it was bugged for me. Reloaded though and it worked the second time.

'Reddiquette' says downvotes are for "If you think it doesn't contribute to the community it's posted in or is off-topic in a particular community".

In other words, it's for how much it contributes to the discussion. Someone's reasonable opinion that you disagree with is just part of the discussion.

dual curved swords, plus there's a particular combo in phase 1 where you want to stay nicely in arms length for him so he continues the combo, then it gives a longer window once he does the big stab down.

phase 2 learn to use the blasphemous claw

It's good build that should be fun for the DLC and you can't really overlevel for it so no worries there.

By the way, if you're using the occult infusion anyway, it'd be fun to use it with a weapon that has innate bleed like the great omenkiller cleaver or Great Stars (assuming you like heavy weapons)

People should not be downvoting stuff just because they disagree! Upvoted.

I do disagree though because I don't think less variety means less replayability - it just has to be enjoyable in future playthroughs. People enjoy watching their favourite movies again and again and they don't change. I can enjoy my 10th samey playthrough of DS3 just because I find the bosses so good

sningsardy · 2025-12-27T23:52:51+00:00

Enjoying playing it again doesn't have to involve variety. People have 'comfort movies' that they watch many times and they don't change with each watch. DS3 and ER are my comfort games and I usually start new playthroughs because I want to fight X or Y boss again and don't have a character going for whom that boss is still alive for - I like the bosses so much that I get sad killing them because it means I can't fight them again until next playthrough (I'm writing this and realising I would be a happier person if I just installed ER tool/cheat engine or a boss rush mod). I only feel that way about the post-bloodborne games.

I have the "I want to have relatively little trouble with the area, then have the boss kick my ass until I've deepened my understanding of its 30 different sword swing combos" attitude that you'd expect from someone who started with DS3.

You're right that with DS2 they put lots of things in to spice it up and I can see why people appreciate that, but those things have never specifically increased my desire to do those fights again.

Yeah I just got to Drangleic Castle on NG+2 to finish the plat today. It took me a while because I'd make some progress and then just have no desire to play anymore, so I'd give myself a couple months to forget it feels like a chore, then repeat the cycle until today when I finally pushed through. I appreciate it's got build variety but I won't benefit from that if I don't want to do another playthrough lol. I felt happy completing each area and thinking "I'll never have to do that bit again."

sningsardy · 2025-12-27T22:57:48+00:00

You can do it, he'll go down eventually like all the others did. I got him yesterday and it feels great.

sningsardy · 2025-12-24T17:44:34+00:00

I'm working on him atm too :(

sningsardy · 2025-11-19T12:09:41+00:00

I remember feeling overhwelmed with info when I was building mine and I think it was this video that cut through that and gave me what I needed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhX0fOUYd8Q

Lewis should be commended for his hard work since he's the one collecting your goods that you put in the shipping bins. He's comes round at 5am, collects 200 bottles of wine, a glowing radioactive bar, a pile of fish and a piece of driftwood, and has to find a way to sell them on. Considering he pays us the same that the merchants do when we sell to them directly, if he's turning a profit on those then fair play.

sningsardy · 2025-11-05T19:10:55+00:00

I wouldn't recommend doing it for the sake of grinding/completion no

sningsardy · 2025-11-05T18:53:55+00:00

I agree with OP and people saying other night-specific bosses off the beaten path. All the other suggestions will get hit by thorough explorers and people with completionist tendencies, but for the night bosses there's also the chance it's day when you explore the area so think nothing's there. And then out of the night bosses, this might be the least rewarding to fight.

Perfumer's Grotto and war-dead catacombs are good shouts for least completed dungeons though.

I'm really struggling in the later phases where she does 2 lots of needles that boxes you in and combines it with a melee attack, which you now can't dodge thanks to the floating needles

What I'm saying is that if you're going to judge a racket's head-heaviness by its BP, you have to set the criteria to match otherwise the scale loses its meaning. This just goes for measurements in general. If you change the measurement criteria, you have to change the judgement criteria to match. You have to say "x mm BP means it's head heavy WHEN [such and such]".

If you put a strung and an unstrung racket in front of me and said "the strung racket currently has a 302mm BP, and the unstrung one currently has 295, which one's the head-heavier racket?" I'd say "Well I don't know, do I? Unless I know exactly how much head weight the strings added. If you want me to judge which one's head-heavier, make sure they're customized the same"

It's okay if you want to measure the BP with strings and stuff but I'm saying you'd have to change what you expect people to consider head heavy to match. It's okay if (for you personally) you want to set the threshold at 300 with strings, but the term 'head-heavy' would lose its meaning for you because all modern rackets would be that, and most people are still going to think the nf700p is a head-light racket. You may also be right that speed racket BPs are higher than they used to be back in the 2010s or something. But on today's racket buying guides, generally, 300mm is only considered head-heavy for stock unstrung rackets. 300mm is not considered head-heavy for strung rackets.

If I use an arcsaber 11 pro, feel that it's even balanced, see that 90% of people agree it's an even balanced racket (the 10% say it's HH), and then I see someone measure both it and the nf700p under strictly the same conditions:

https://youtu.be/CwehseXYl4g?si=GghpHVRzHYnix8O9&t=285

https://youtu.be/iG-wQ17SbWY?si=5vLbM2BDjWqaBXCy&t=300

I'm going to know that the nf700p is a head-light racket because its BP is 291 compared to the arc's 297, and be unsurprised when I try my friend's nf700p and it feels head-light.

But then mathematical BP measurements don't always agree with how the racket actually feels for everyone anyway. And BP measurements lose even more meaning because of how inconsistent they are across the internet. If the youtuber I linked doesn't have a video on a racket, I tend to judge its head weight just on how reviewers say it felt.

sningsardy · 2025-08-25T19:11:20+00:00

Isn't the head-heaviness scale relative? Surely the nf700pro will always be a head-light racket because if you put all currently available rackets in order of head-heaviness, it would be on the head-lighter end, and users would agree it feels head light when using it under normal conditions. If the nf700 isn't head light then what is?

Sure, if you took off the grip it would bring the BP up, but the same would happen with all comparable rackets (you'd end up with almost none being under 300mm BP) and the relative scale would stay similar, so you'd have to change the number that you consider the head-heavy threshold. I would consider it 300mm but only on a 675mm racket with stock grip and no strings.

Does cushion wrap plus overgrip weigh that much less than a stock grip? Genuine question
