She's hard at low scadu, especially phase 2 where she deals a ton of damage. With 2H over the shoulder weapons, spamming jump attacks makes a lot of her attacks miss you. I see you're already parrying her, it's pretty good against her since that jump is telegraphed.

Easy fight but only once you learn her combos. This is almost always (the complex one) - strike, strike, strike, X like strike. Just learn this one and then she almost cant touch you.
>>
>>496131027
Except in Phase 2 where she does that really long combo. Tip for phase 2: her strings almost ALWAYS end when she does a magic swing.

>I see you're already parrying her
I hit probably 1 in 10 parry attempts because it's not something I'm good at. Even with the magic-resistant shield, magic fortification, golden vow, and blessing's boon I still can't really stay in close and my main strat has been rotting her and trying to get in what chip damage I can with guard counters. Might be easier if I had a +2 Spelldrake instead of a +1 but I haven't fought Morgott yet so I can't really get to the Haligtree
I'm like scadu 3 or 4 because I really, really do not want to look up a map of where to find them

>>496131027
>>496131123
I'm frustrated because I "know" her combos but I can't react to them properly. The 2x dual sword swing with the little delay on it catches me every single time despite knowing it's coming.

>>496131512
Yes you really need more skibidy fragments. I had probably around 6 when I go for her. And when she did this ficre combo I just walk away.
>>
>>496131512
>guard counters
did you get the deflect tear? it's great, viability-wise at least. some people think it breaks the game, and it kinda does for the base game anyway, but it's still fun as fuck. the timing is way easier than a parry, too.

Yeah the fire one seems like instant death if you stay in it
Again I know I need more fragments but I don't want to look up a map, but they seem to be positioned in important places so it's hard to find them via organically exploring. Kinda feels like shit because I haven't managed to kill a single boss yet - I've fought the Lion, the Death Knight, the crossbow phantom, and now this chick and I haven't killed any of them. I don't really know where to go because no matter what the answer is always "get more fragments" but how the fuck do I get more fragments if every single place I explore tells me to fuck off until I have more fragments?

>>496132747
>the deflect tear?
The what? No, here's my current flask, and the rest of my other gear for clarity. The Helice is my only maxed weapon.
>>
>>496133579
Go kill the giant wickerman near the start of the DLC, those things drop new tears.
The deflect tear makes you guard like a sekiro deflect and powers-up guard counters.

Also got a hitless Maliketh with this weapon this was the NG+ run, he doesn't get too strong until NG+3 or 4 I think. This and my Dragonbolt Crescent Axe build are tied with quickest Maliketh kills, pretty sure this is a little faster. First phase is harder than second phase for no hit.

>>496134008
The Middle Age wasn't an era of technological loss, unlike what athetists seem to think. Rather than being forced into stupidity by the church, the church instead preserved a lot of technology, and even took to translating ancient Roman documents, which ironically had a disastrous effect on women's right, since middle age women enjoyed a lot of independance under Viking/Mongol influence, whereas Romans treated women as furniture.

Yeah my first time against Rellana was at 5 blessings before they got buffed, I was so close to killing her on my 2nd or 3rd try with a goofy ass prayerful strike tank strategy but then I tilted until I had had enough and deleted her with star fist R2 and endure spam.

Not mentioned directly, but I do kind of like the unsubstanciated schizo theory that Shabiri may have been inhabiting Nanaya's body at one point to manipulate Midra to endure until he was powerful enough to become the true Lord of Frenzied Flame.

I mean, just look at her shadow covered eyes, sinister smirk, and hand on Midra's shoulder. She's totaly subtly manipulating the old sage.

In general? A LOT of Rotten Breath, and frequently Lightning Spear and Flame Sling. Assassin's Approach and Cure Poison too on occasion, Cure Poison is useful enough that I've kept it on pretty much all the time.
Also Magic Fortification, Blessing's Boon, and Golden Vow specifically for this fight before entering.

Ahmad ibn Fadlan account of a viking funeral. Church destruction of monuments and documents is well known. We can physcially fucking see where they destroyed the gentials of statues that offended them.
Monks didn't do mass burnings of old scrolls but they didnt copy the docurments they didnt like letting them rot away and be lost. Any research on your part will show you that, Monks and christianity didn't preserve the west its a parasite death cult centred on a false messiah that nearly destroyed it

Do you really need blessing's boon and golden vow? That's almost 10 levels that you could've put into any other stat. I'm not saying what you're doing is "wrong" but are two defensive spells really worth the investment when your focus is dex and arcane?

Rya always stopped masturbating before she would cum, because she just didnt understand what the feeling that was building up was and it worried her. The first time she actually had an orgasm was when she was trying to explore after the Tarnished helped and spared her her, and a soldier ended up finding her and forced himself on her. She managed to escape (just because he left her for dead in the woods bruised) after. But now something is broke about her body though, and even though she tried to replicate cumming on her own afterwards (after a few weeks of crying) now that she knows what it feels like, she couldn't do it. Turns out she's now incapable of cumming from anything but rape, and she has to genuinely not want it for it to happen.
The closest she can get is fantasizing about it while touching, but even then it's just to the edge and not enough amd doesn't feel right. That's the only way she knows how to experience that kind of intimacy now, and any efforts to retrain her body wouldn't ever, ever work.

I kind of want to be able to use Faith shit in general and was originally intending to go Dex/Fth from the start but Bleed was too appealing and useful once I found the Uchi and then Nightrider's Flail. The Coded Sword and Cipher Pata are both really cool even though I'm not sure if they're any good for PvE.

Are there any other incantations you might recommend instead? The HP regen and extra defense are both useful when I'm struggling to survive at all, my damage output mostly consists of playing defensively while the Rot ticks and getting what damage I can off of the occasional guard counter or jumping R2 during large openings. I can't really handle playing aggressively, trying that against Rellana and Mohg has me die before their second phase almost without fail because I struggle to consistently not panic roll.

Also, Shabriri's Woe's affect is to draw enemy attention towards you, even if they would normally go after others. Perhaps Shabriri was instead a compatriot of Nanaya, and like a Judas figure revealed the great sages hidden mansion. He certainly would have earned his title of THE most reviled man in history. What they did to Midra is inconceivable. The text says it right, 'a damnation like no other'

I don't think it's stated literally anywhere whether Mohg was charmed before or after kidnapping Miquella, and the lore supports either conclusion. Ansbach just says that when he became bewitched he tried to fight Miquella and he became ensnared too.

So Mohg may have been chilling in the sewers for most of the time until being enchanted, at which point Ansbach fought him, or Mohg was trying to become a Lord the easier way by marrying an Empyrean, but Miquella charmed him afterwards, prompting the insane devotion Mohg has now.

Morgott conjured him

tfw no femanon girlfeet...

>>496162268
Morgott summons this because he misses Godfrey and you'll learn that Godfrey actually respected Morgott, blame Marika for all the omen oppression.

>>496162268
they needed a boss to put there and they had phase 1 of the actual godfrey fight already done, so...

>>
>>496162705
you tell me
>>
>>496162705
great fuckin question
>>
>>496162548
Phase 1 Godfrey is really fun, though one complaint I have with some of the bosses in the base game is that they have super abusable moves where they do nothing for like 4 seconds and then you can just get them into phase 2 or outright kill them easily. Morgott's dagger rain, Godfrey's mid-phase transitions, Radahn's mid-phase transition and the start of phase 2, and to a lesser extent Morgott and Godrick's phase transition. Morgott's first phase is basically only 25-30% of his health bar because you'll either stagger him before the knife rain and then when he does it, you'll stagger him into his phase 2 animation, or you'll just stagger him when he does the rain then riposte and swing once to put him into phase 2. Horoah Loux's is probably the worst offender, you get a couple R1s or an R2 in and then two free jump attacks in a phase where his defenses are already lower than the first. Malenia can also fall into this tier if you have a ranged option, her phase 2 scarlet aeonia is one of the biggest openings in the game and she does it twice, so with something ranged you're basically voiding out a lot of the HP-to-Engagement ratio.

It's just such a pain to actually get them off because the window to execute it doesn't last long enough to tell whether she's done or continuing her combo, and several of her attacks can be finishers in one attack string but keep going in another

Miquella's true power is stupidity. People assume it's compelling but that's because they become stupid enough to fall for his retarded plans. Mohg spent years humping a corpse. Malenia was dumb enough to never finish off Radahn. Getting hugged twice in the PCR boss kills you because you suffer an aneurism and die of sheer stupidity.

The Dancing Lion is scaled lower than Rellana. Not joking when I say the damage from bosses peaks in Rellana's phase 2, when scaled with appropriate scadu. Putrescent is the closest, afaik.

Strange, Dancing Lion was the only one I did with no scadu since I played when the DLC launched and still thought scadu fragments were just some crutch for lower-leveled characters. Then I fought Rellana and gave that up and started using them. I can give more advice for the lion than I can for Rellana since I've done Lion hitless and with the shitty tooth whip.

If we got another DLC it should be a linear path of multiple legacy dungeons. Just have 5 or so really good remembrances, ones actually worthy of being a remembrance and nothing Gaius or Putrescent tier. Those are fine bosses but if Commander Niall was in the dlc he’d be a remembrance.

That explains everything. Eclipse = Death. Miquella's eyes being eclipses are a sign his brain is dead. This is a subtle way of informing us that Miquella is braindead stupid.

Because he is weak. Radahn + Great Rune in >>496178621 is weaker than Margit, let alone Morgott. If it weren't for Mohg's body, Consort Radahn would be one-shotted by the player.

Also

St.Trina is the true villain. Miquella was a complete psycho before abandoning his love as that was the time he committed all of his atrocities, abandoned the Haligtree and his sister (who could've solved the DLC via her strength), and never once told Mohg to stop the whole Formless Mother bloody cultist shit. St.Trina believes Miquella abandoning compassion makes him worse but everything we know of Miquella beforehand suggests he was a complete monster. In truth Miquella bettered himself by abandoning negative traits which St.Trina's brainwashing of our player interprets as love and compassion when truthfully Miquella abandoned negative traits instead.
