Who else mortalling up in they shell?
>>746483860There's thicc mods?
>>746484728Yes, with jiggle
I don't like Soulslikes and I don't think this game will change my mind
>>746484892Looks like Jetstream Sam
>>746484892Which mod?
>>746485556Bottom Heavy Proxima on Nexus
>>746483860Glad they patched some qol, sad about the nerfs though
>he didnt beat pre-nerf monolith
>>746485084this was my first soulslike and I had fun, not gonna play other games though
>>746485181Jetstream Sam looked like this?
>>746484892I'm playing with that and pic rel for Harbinger and literally can't help but edge every time I die or get unshelled lol
where the fuck is second trollweed
>>746488839You got trolled.
>>746483860I'm waiting for patches to fix everything up.I hear the end game kinda sucks.
>>746489028the patch that fixed everything was yesterday brev
>>746488263The carved bone aesthetic is really cool and unique, it's a shame it's the only thing the game has going for it
>>746489604I heard, I'll probably give it a shot today when I wake up.
I didn't beat the game
Sloppily backshotting Proxima until she has enough Biosamples to discern the entirety of human history and biological composition down to the subatomical level.
>>746491217They did a really good job making a fanservice character because it's not even her design which is already sex, her personality, voice actress and biosample gimmick too all elevate her as well. I dont play her but I've been watching every shell memory and she was instantly likable and different. Most other shell memories just have them rebelling in some way. Her first memory with the merchant is really charminganyway where'd you get that mod
>>746491334It's a pinup render.
>>746490972That's just a miniboss that turns into a regular enemy later, with the same HP value. It's cool that you beat him, though.
>>746491376There hasn't been any boss that hasn't gone like this lately, which you should know since you presumably recognize the build. I just haven't been making webms to show it off till right now
>>746491460There are unique bosses. Mostly at the end of gates, but I do recall Sariel.BTW, there's a gate to the Unfound Path in the same region as Sariel. It just leads to a room with some mobs. What's up with that?
>patch that actually finishes the game drops within hours of me finishing my playthroughYou can only sit back and laugh
>>746491946go again
>>746492206The game isn't meant for replaying NG. You'd have to scrub the whole map for resources again. Most people just want to run to the bosses when they replay a soulslike. NG+ in this game supports that, by having the resources to upgrade your weapons past +16 be placed at the end of the game. But the patch mostly fixes NG stuff. Good for new players, I guess.
>>746492206>replay a massively padded open world gameew
It sucks how you can't sit on her lap.
Yeah the main / unique bosses is what I meant>What's up with that?I noticed that one too and idk? Feels like it's happened multiple times too where there's barely anything substantial in a gate / beacon / mini dungeon whatever
The fat bitch in the wheelchair is not a fun fight
>>746492706meant for >>746491784
>>746492650It sucks that they didn't make her as sex as proxima. She's mid
This game is too easyNot a real souls-like
>>746492791It sucks how we canonically don't have a mouth to suck on her quintuple Z tits.
The problem with all other shells is that none of them have crit damage modifiers. So tiel is just the best for damage and best overall
>>746492904Yeah that would have been my reply to you if she was more attractive because I understand you, but she aint
New patch is good but they need to buff some of the shitty weapons like triarch repeater
>>746492951What's wrong with her? She's gorgeous.
>>746493309Maybe the gun is supposed to be used with some combo of tarstones that makes it good, like the Scythe with the chainsaw, or the hammer with the throw.
Fuck Droeg and fuck those pellets he launches in phase two.
Man, I haven't died more than once to a single boss in this game and now am well over 5 on the Scholar Prince. Feels like I'm doing something wrong
>>746493483You can just punch him out of that state before he launches anything, if you play as Gragu or another shell with an instant stagger move.https://youtu.be/LPUD61qBntM?t=337
>>746493542Is that the moth-man? He's immune to stagger. That's generally what makes some bosses harder.
>>746493762I beat him. Seems the answer is don't parry phase 2 at all, which seems a little lame.
>>746493397it has no ability stone for one thingI have extensively tested the triarch trying to make it good, and it really isn'tthe caged hystrix does everything the triarch does with better results, damage, and versatilitythe one thing the triarch has that others dont is the lightning and frozen infusions, but both are "on crit only" even with its high number of shots, it builds these up very slowly. Lightning is kinda bad, even on proxima. Frozen is good, but it doesnt last very long. Frozen is best on eredrim so you can get his +200% damage to frozen targetsyou can use the tarstone that builds break on crits, which is definitely better in this patch now that riposte has been reworked to do more damage, but it's still eh.A big problem is the triarch does basically no stagger, and the windup is long. A lot of enemies are also fast enough/have gap closers (particularly bosses) that when you start shooting, they'll be on you before you can reliably do anything to them. On average with a +16 triarch repeater and maxed tarstones, it takes nearly 75% of your resolve to proc frozen or break.Going full DAMAGE (lightning with the aoe damage on every 20 shots tarstone) it has less DPS than every other weapon in the game period. It takes usually your ENTIRE resolve meter to kill one big enemy, or around 50% for small enemies. Even with the "sidearms grant resolve on kill" tarstone you will run out because the triarch has basically no aoe to sustain it.I think a good ability stone would save it, as some other sidearms are also dogshit without ability stones. I get that they didn't want a weapon with such high fire rate to be TOO good but I think they ended up making it dogshit as a result.outside of an ability stone, I would say either double the amount of shots you can make at max resolve or increase the damage per shot
>>746493827Some bosses are easier to parry than others. One boss near the end can feel like a brick wall unless you parry.
>>746493827Supposedly there's some issue with parrying multi-hit attacks, I've seen quite a few people complain about this but I'm not exactly sure what the issue is since I played through with harden and mostly stagger bullied with the veterans axe
>>746489604Not on consoles last I checked.
>>746493935Man, you can't format your text for shit.
>>746494110this isn't reddit I don't reddit space here
>>746494063shame if true consoles have retarded certs so anyone but the biggest companies gets fucked
>>746483860link to female harbinger mod ?
>>746494412https://files.catbox.moe/uqf1wi.7z
>>746494746who made it?
>>746492650its sucks that even after you beat the game she still sits there doing nothingher and crow are such a bizzare plot holes
>>746483860Do you have to play the first game to understand what's going on this one? I see the steam page say its a standalone sequel. So are they pulling a Lords Of The Fallen and pretending the first game doesn't exist?
>>746495432NG+ isn't really canon. It's just there for replay value. If you want to know about Ruk, you should be watching the glimpse memories of the shells.
>>746495486There's minimal connection and the intro for the 2nd game vaguely explains what happened anyway. You will notice references if you played MS1. Similar buildings and returning characters. That's about it.
>>746495486In the first game you're basically the Silver Surfer for an alien goddess that's like the gentical monster from Futurama. You show up, depose the dominant religion, make a new religion about the goddess, then set up a beacon for her to come and breed with the world.
>>746483860>>746484892>>746488263Proxima has such a perfect hot body why ruin it with these shit mods?
>>746495432Ruk is Sariel's story. >science man and his bro Rickart trying to find a super special ovum for science>they find it and it hatches and becomes the malborn offspring who knocks Sariel out and kills all the workers>there is a parasite in the remains and Sariel consumes it for his power>Sariel has the power to turn the dead into zombies with his blood in his quest to revive people>creates the Tar Golem as Rickart shows up and says he quits because he cant deal with the science anymore>Tar Golem wakes up and picks up Rickart and throws him into a wall when Sariel says to put him down>Sariel refuses to let him die and takes his corpse and puts a dead bird on it then pours his blood over the both of them creating Ruk
>>746490972>mfw over 8500 and 11,000+ damage in a flurry against some of the endgame bosses in the final areaTiel is so fucking brokenGoing into NG+ and based Eredrim with the Obsidian bonk now that they buffed it and it's super satisfying One-shots basic enemies and I cleared that first sword miniboss right off the initial beacon in like 5 hits, the thing can do over 800 damage in a hit with a critStill kind of missing Tiel's insane stealth dodges and backshots but going to try speccing into riposte damage with Eredrim since it was also buffed in the patch and see what stasis is about
>>746496312Wooow thanks for spoiling. Also that animation where someone cuts their hand and blood comes out is reused so often.
>>746496486>Tiel is so fucking brokenShow him beating Monolith or Zmey, then.
>>746493309They buffed the big hammer which is good enough for me to try in NG+It's fucking based
>>746495623ruk’s story wasn’t satisfying
>>746496591Finding out how Ruk came to be was the highlight of the game's story.
>>746483860check jewtube video and it is pretty optimized for an ue5slop. Still I'm gonna wait a month or 2 for paypiggies to beta it before pirating
>>746496557lmaothe debate has been over for days. tiel is the best shell. you're just new
>>746496725it's cool because it puts his lines before bosses in a bit different light
>>746496557Like I said I just beat the game yesterdayMonolith wasn't very hard, only took a few attemptsThat edgy dragontails nigga was definitely harder than any of the other endgame bosses that were 1 attempt killsI had to change one of my sidearm tarstones to get better ranged dps when he goes into his faggot ass phase 2 but otherwise not terribleNameless Captive was by far the boss I had to make the most attempts on
>>746496849Well isn't it just strange how he struggles with the final bosses, then?
>>746496908He doesn't and to any extent he did matters even less now that the bosses have all been nerfed in the patch notes you didn't read
>>746496725bro you’re joking, right? sariel’s memories really had that level of impact on you? I was completely unsatisfied. you have this almost supernatural alien force colliding with the planet and mixing with everything and ruk came to be as some dickbag alchemist’s experiment? that sucked. would have been way better off left unexplained
About 10 hours in and I'm really enjoying the game so far bros. First nonFROM Soulslike I've had rhis much fun playing. The shell system really elevates the game a great deal.
Such a great gameBest shell to pair with the newly buffed hammer?Thinking big boi Lazlo or based Eridrim
>>746497236can hammer use frost infusion?
>>746497161i don’t normally even bother with soul-likes. nioh is technically an exception but i don’t even consider it a souls-like because it really does its own thing. i don’t know what attracted me to this game but i enjoyed it
>>746497254Will have to check, I know it mainly uses stasis and trauma It's gonna be hard adjusting to not having Tiel's perfect dodges and insane backshot crits
>>746495432not everything has to be explainedsome things can be left open potentially for sequel or DLC stuff
>>746496984Well isn't it strange how Tiel still does struggle against the nerfed bosses, then? Isn't that just crazy?
>>746497350eredrim with buffed riposte will hit like a truck if you can also freeze people with hammer
>>746497254Nothing but the sword and triarch repeater can use frost.
Malborn Offspring>grey guyy in a grey room>particle effects fill your screen with every swingWith DLSS on Quality, everything is just a grey blur. Turn that off. >his swings often miss you, putting harden on CDI resorted to just face tanking him with Lazlo.That second phase of his goes hard. In my second to last run, I beat phase 1 without taking damage, then swittly died phase 2.
>>746497610You can't freeze an enemy into a ripostable state. You're just making stuff up.
>>746497702nta but he said "also"
>>746497664>With DLSS on QualityJust turn it off.
>>746497734He said ripostes on frozen enemies. You can't do that. Well maybe you can, if it's one of the bosses and you hit them in the back while they're in the mandatory "parry me to begin the 2nd stage" state, then go to the front.
>>746495980So all the eggs we've been collecting are hers and she's looking to leave the planet after having caused the calamity? Or are all the other egg based monstrosities just unrelated to her? Because there appears to be a connection to the ovum, and the many bosses in the game as well as the player character also being one of those egg based creatures.
>>746497664>Turn that off.>>746497739>Just turn it off.I don't know who to believe!
>>746497860>ripostes on frozen enemiesThose words literally don't appear on the screen my guyIt's pretty clear he said the combo of Eredrim's extra riposte damage, plus the recent general buff to riposte damage would do massive damage, and that would be extra good to combo with the hammer if you can also infuse with frost to freeze enemies
>>746498027yeah that's what I meant, riposte and before the guy stands up you could freeze him and deal 200% damage
>>746496887Haven't gotten to the end of the game but I just did nameless captive for the first time. Got him first try (barely) but I can see why other tiel players would struggle. Some bosses are really annoying about hitting you even when you're behind them and this guy looks like he's actually meant to do that
>>746498193It's his hitboxes for those swings are absurdly wide and he can often hit you from strange angles even if you get behind him. Then you've got shadow strike occasionally putting you in a poor spot because it will try to teleport you directly to him, and I've been caught before by his grab attack immediately after shadow strike ends....but then sometimes he would miss the grab entirely after it. It's such a gamble using that ability.
>>746498330>hit you from strange angles even if you get behind himIf you look at :23 of the webm that hit was pretty bullshitI barely use shadow strike and definitely not for bosses. I dont think it's a very good skill desu, at least for damage. as a turn invisible button it's good
do you have to use the untarnished seal for Peter's Perfect Parry? infinite seal seems a bit slow.
>>746495980The goddess from the first game is different than the mether. In the first game the goddess is goddess of earth Vatra and all the unborn are monsters born from her. She wants to give birth to a new god but all her kids are fucked up monsters so she tries to give birth through seeds instead. Humans stop worshiping her and all form cults around monsters and using tar to try become gods themselves. Eventually the foundling becomes powerful and worthy enough to ascend as a god and he fucks off with Vatra. The ascension just happens to cause the mether to crash into the planet and all ruined cults start to worship her and rip apart her body when she just wants to take her eggs and leave the planet.The temple east of the bar is Vatra's forgotten temple and Gragu eats her heart.
>>746498942>The ascension just happens to cause the mether to crash into the planet and all ruined cults start to worship her and rip apart her body when she just wants to take her eggs and leave the planetIs that really what's going on this game? I haven't finished it, but I've been watching all the memories and the entire time I've been thinking we're the baddies. We're literal aliens and at the VERY least, we're inadvertently bad because we fucked up this entire world by coming here
>>746498870nvm got it
Tiel was ez modeTime for bonk
>Starting the playthrough by doing 10 death runs to get every Shell and WeaponI'm getting Elden Ring flashbacks, but Lazlo is so much fun holy shit.
>>746498942>New god just happens to spawn identical man things with the exact same skinwalking powers as the old oneI don't really buy that they're unrelated
Sariel needs to be able to spread curse faster with his ability, or thorns needs to apply curse better>The Strange Remnant for the Caged Hystrix does not apply curse when infusedChange this one annoying interaction and Sariel will be truly fun to play. Other than that, he's better off doing single target Rain of Thorns spam
I just picked it up and was planning on using gragu or proxima mostly. How are the newly buffed slow weapons?
>>746500000You certainly got it.
>>746500000Fuck you for getting it.
>>746500480They're definitely in the game. You should try playing it
>>746500637How does that answer my question?
>>746490972>not even nightmode
>>746483860Why can't we have this baseline without mods?
>>746500751Yeah I dont even know when you unlock that
>>746500771Because the developers have taste and you don't. Proxima's proportions are already perfect
>>746500480Based and funpilledI'm doing nearly 900 damage with a single running heavy with the obsidian bonker
>>746500954Generic and boring
>>746500991Sick, I'll have to give it a go
>>746499937Basically, your mom had a tapeworm when she crashed and that thing is having fun on the bun with life on Earth, or whatever world this is. Your mom doesn't like the tapeworm. You'll learn what mom wants when you deal with it.
>>746485935>>746489604>>746491946So what's in this new patch that changes everything?
That room with the ball and the worm arm guys was designed by the dark souls 2 guy
I've realized this game is basically Elden Ring lite>huge connected open world packed with things to do that functions as its own level>legacy dungeons = corrupted gates (but shitter)>side dungeons = side dungeons (but even shittier)>reused bosses up the ass
>>746495486>So are they pulling a Lords Of The Fallen and pretending the first game doesn't exist?The protagonist from the first LoTF hangs out with you almost the entire game.
>>746488315Phat ass is very distracting, can't beat bosses with one hand
>>746488315Go to tell the dev to add costumes a la Stellar Blade
>After killing an enemy with a Riposte, Eredrim's abilities cost No Resolve or 8 secThat would go fucking crazy with a proper sidearm setup. He could clear mobs faster than any other character in the game. Eredrim seems like the actual fun shell to play when general exploring. Gregu just gets heals and crit chance who cares.
>>746502975eredrim fucking suckshis slaughter stacks are completely uselesskilling with riposte is actually hard since riposte damage fucking sucksbiggest bait ever. severed him the moment patch came out
>>746493935Good effortpost
>>746503128They buffed riposte precisely in that update retardnon
>>746501809Weapon changes, unfucked bosses, overhauled progression/economy, new tarstones with new mechanics for grinding shit, respecs, more spread out rewards, more beacons, new hats
You put the stone in the catapult and send it to...?
>>746503437anon, we need to have a discussion about your weight..
>>746503476Strange thing to say when you look at the overfed characters in OP's pic
>>746492807Every Souls game is easy once you get past the initial learning curve of the genre.
did they fix slow weapons getting less resolve than faster ones yet, or are fast weapons still goated
>>746503437It permanently reveals off an illusory wall somewhere in the south of the map.Alchemist's WorkshopIt's one of the more obvious illusory walls, I found it without the catapult.
>>746504303Shame; already found that.
>72 of 73 tarstonesFUCK
I NEED a 12 episode PROXIMA X MERRICK anime rom com NOW
will this game have confirmed DLC? i only wish the game was actually LONGER and had more enemy variety. Also really wish they rework the shell points so we dont need to keep respecing all the time and have an easier time changing shells.
what gayme to play after finishing this MASTAHPIECE. Easily best souls game since lies of P, unironically much better than elden slop. Will i like pic related?
I just finished it. Overall I thought it was great, but there were a few bosses that missed the mark imo. The final boss unfortunately was one of them. Wasn't enough to sour the game for me but was a bit of a shame.Glad the patch came in before I finished so I had a chance to use Genessa + martyr blade without her being broken in like 4 different ways. Both faithful and stray builds were a lot of fun a pretty effective.
>Proxima's gigantic ass in her final memoryMerrick fed her well.
>>746502328>the worm arm guysFuck those lanky bastards. There's no good way to fight them.
>>746502703>The protagonist from the first LoTF hangs out with you almost the entire game.What? No. We're talking about the game with the lantern, right?
>>746506105They're better than the rapier women in the abbey. Only good way of fighting them I found was preemptive shoulder check from eredrim and then kill them while they were recovering from the riposte.
>>746503256It simply does percentage based damage now. This means it will scale with NG+ runs.
>village of babasKINObest enemy type in a souls game
>>746488315this skins going to get me killed when I inevitably stare at her ass instead of dodging but i don't care
>>746506187Gragu is also good for them, as he is with every world enemy. Just punch their hearts out. They can't parry that.
The glute of glimpses and resources added in the patch has removed the tension from my decision making, I like scarce resources adds weight to actions and makes loot sweeter. Iirc they did the same thing in MS1's first patch
>>746506330I'm playing Lazlo atm and I'm genuinely popping boners whenever I spend enough time in shell form to forget my Harbinger's all gooned up only to get knocked out and have sweaty knight ass thrown at my face lol
>>746506187>Tiel laughs in stealth
>>746500892remember the first mini boss with the big axe? the bear trap in front of the resource? first beacon after the tutorial? there is an item you can pick up in the center of that combat arena. take that item back to your base, elevator all the way up and interact with the brazier.
damn reading about the new patch makes me wanna play the game now. sounds like a lot of gripes were fixed
>added a buttplug to placate people bitching about gloom loss and runbacksbased also I'm unironically thankful because I'm a scrub and I need it and it makes me hard imaging Proxima awkwardly inserting it

>>746506929I wish it actually showed it equipped on Proxima.Is it a permanent item or do you have to purchase more after it breaks?
When did you realise that the parry ladies in MS2 are recycled enemies from the first game?
>>746506295BDSM nuns mog them
>>746507315Wtf? I was convinced they were polish
>>746507349Well, she collects biosamples to analyze creatures, so instead of having to stick a wristblade into guys' bodies she could just shake her ass a bit to have a bunch of them shoot their load all over her and collect a bunch of biometric info that way.
>>746506158Yes. The Iron Wayfarer NPC you meet all over the game and eventually fight as a boss in LotF (2023) is the main character from LotF (2014).
Is this game better than the first one? I heard it was shit.
night modes kicking my ass
>>746508002Both are good, the first game is just a bit rough and not all regions are equally good, only the Narthex and ice cave.The second one has been a blast so far. The fat ass is a bonus, since the first game didn't have any fanservice.
>>746507713Whoa. I never knew.
>>746508002First game kind of sucks and you should only play it as a curiousity. The 2nd game is leagues better.
>>746508002the second game is a massive upgrade almost unrecognizable compared to the first
I had to force myself to continue with Mortal Shell 1 because it's overall gimmick wore out very quickly and the gameplay was just kind of shit after like 5 hours, is 2 any better?
>>746508326Someone literally just asked that question.
>>746508326It's a lot better, but I still didn't like it. If you're a gooner though it's okay.

an idea just came to me about a potential exploit. going to test it now
I just had some glitch where I opened a chest in the east starter area gate, some kind of boss spawned but I was close to the edge of the cliff, it instantly died and I got 6k gloom.
