That's only like 6 hours a day

If you can spend 2 hours farming 90k souls you have more stamina than me

I was high.  I normally can't play more than 2 hours in a whole day.  I have too much to do, like take naps.

I was high the whole time I played Hyrule Warriors for 300 hours lol

I swear to god every single time I play this game I have to level up to level 2 in the chaos servant covenant twice.  I do it once, and think that it opened the door to lost izalith and that I will stay at level 2, only to find out later that leaving the covenant makes me lose my rank and the door only opens if you actually go to it.  My brain doesn't want to record it because it's stupid.  Why???  Does absolutely nothing except annoy people.  That's like 60 humanity farmed for nothing.

Unlocking a door isn't the same as opening it lol

Also pretty sure you can just ignore Solaire, go the long way around to the other side of the door, get the Sunlight Maggot and then start his questline if you don't wanna farm Humanity

his questline doesn't just stop when you don't talk to him at certain times?

So they added a bonfire by vamos but you still can't warp to it or any of the bonfires within the catacombs.  This makes the added bonfire completely unhelpful.  I've been going through the catacombs for hours trying to find the room where you can get to gravelord covenant, and resting at the vamos bonfire just makes me have to warp all the way back up to firelink shrine to go through the entire area again because there are 3 points where you go down but cannot go back up.
What were they thinking adding that bonfire if you can't warp to it anyways?  Were there too many people dying at Pinwheel?  It adds zero convenience as Vamos is still a pain in the ass to get to, only now he's also a pain in the ass to get FROM if you rest at the bonfire because homeward bone won't help you.

EDIT:  You CAN warp there apparently, but the option to warp there wasn't always available.  I don;t know if you have to kindle it first, or if you can't warp there from the other catacomb bonfires.

You just drop off the ledge in the first open area and land right before the door that leads to the covenant coffin

Also you can always go back up somewhere, otherwise you'd be stuck if you went down the Catacombs without the Lordvessel

The bonfire is mostly for Fire ascensions I guess, but the Bonewheel Pit isn't exactly hard to die in either

I think I have to post this here... first game of the marathon was Bloodborne.

Day 1 - Bloodborne » Done!

Okay, a couple of hours wasn't 100% accurate, but I think 4:00 is a decent time, considering I've only beaten this twice before. But yeah, if you know the route and just dash to the next boss, there isn't much standing in your way. There's only like 7 bosses you need to beat, too.

Died a few times (most notably Shadows of Yharnam and... Micotrash). My Saw Cleaver is pretty OP, and R1-L1-L1 stunlocking is too amazing.

This is still probably my favorite game this gen. There are things I prefer in other Souls games, mainly how very few route possibilities there are in BB, but the combat is so refined, and the atmosphere and presentation are breathtaking.


This screen doesn't technically show the game beaten, but you don't need to fight the final boss to finish Bloodborne. I don't want to jump into NG+3 just yet 'cause I wanna do some optional bosses and other stuff another time. Why can't we choose the next cycle after beating the final boss? Dark Souls 2 did it, and that game was... Dark Souls 2... >_>

Clear time: 4 hours

Quote from Serris:
I did Platinum over the weekend and was surprised how painless it was despite no duping. If you farm Phalanx with Firestorm that's 10k+ souls every like 20 seconds


How are you able to do this every 20 seconds?  The aoe pyro spells take so long to cast that they're useless against phalanx.  You get anywhere near them and you get hit before you're even halfway through the cast.  If you get lucky and manage to start the fire, you just get hit by one of them within a second which ends the flames instantly.

You just sprint right up in their grill and cast Firestorm. They might hit you but you can 100% get the spell off before they do.

But once the spell has been cast and they hit you, the spell is instantly stopped. I've tried casting it from far away, up close, in front, from behind.  Half the time I'm not able to cast it at all because it takes SOOOO long.  The time I am able to cast it, I get hit immediately after casting it and am lucky to even get one of them killed.  I die during half of the attempts, and the other half of the attempts only get me 0-1000 souls.  The spell is so slow that I sometimes get hit by the hollows I ran past because they have enough time to chase me all the way into the room where the phalanx are.  Is it so slow because I haven't leveled faith or intelligence at all?

It might help if you run past them a bit? Like hit the right side of their formation instead of the front. They take a while to turn.

Equip Stone/Havel set for poise and just run up to them and cast, Chaos Storm/Tempest clears in two full casts max

You can bait the first one that attacks you out a bit by running a bit past him, you just have to get a feel for the best position over time

Your stats don't affect Pyromancy at all, just have a maxed glove and use Dusk Crown/Bellowing ring for one-shots/overkill soul bonus

Dex slightly increases casting speed but I farmed on a zero Dex build and didn't have any problems

Apparently there's a mistake on PSN right now and The Surge (futuristic Souls-like) is free. Haha. Dunno if anyone here's interested, but hey, it's free.

I think what I was missing was poise.  What I was being hit by was the bodies of the phalanx as the fire sent them flying all over the place.  I equipped only symbol of avarice, wolf ring, silver serpent ring, and used fire tempest.  This did the trick and I was able to continue casting while being hit.  I get about 13.5K souls per run if all goes well.

Having a blast playing ds remastered.  I'm a total parry king this time around so I guess I got gud at some point. 

Fighting artorias atm.  I think this is my favorite boss in the series.  I don't even mind getting my ass kicked.  Much.
Serris
2018-06-10 10:32:09 am
At the very least he's the only good boss in DS1!

I think Gael phase 1 is basically a better Artorias though
Opium
2018-06-10 11:02:04 am
I still never beat Gael.  I think it's weird that getting platinum in DS3 requires the DLC for the rings, but it doesn't require you beating any of the bosses in the DLC.
Serris
2018-06-10 11:24:25 am
Are you sure you need DLC rings for the base game platinum? Would be the first I heard of it

Gael phase 1 is the type of boss I never get tired of fighting, even learning SL1 was never frustrating

Too bad he turns into a lingering hitbox spammer that takes forever to kill afterwards
