Where was that island with all the ores on it again?
East of demoness
Any Idea what to do here? There's supposed to be a bounty on the wall here, that you need to take for the quest, and there just isn't and now I can't continue the quest.
>>562284767have you tried turning it off and on again
>>562284836Actually, yes.
I've been waiting for my buddy comrade to come to me and its taking forever. I hope he didn't get hurt on the way...
>>562284473>>Meet the Cast:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGP3Q9AwKbUwtf damine is irish?
>>562285323damiane is so boring and naira is hotter. we should have gotten more of her
This might be a stupid question but: Is there a way to preview multiple items? I wanna see how a whole set looks without buying it. I have a similar issue with dying armor. Is there a way to test a dye scheme on all items without committing?
>>562285701No and yes
>>562284767just add it to the list i guess, i have 2 quests that i have softlocked because i somehow misplaced the unique hand in quest item
>cats don't eat fish filetsokay, sure.
>best armors in the game can't be refined and have no slotsDamn.
>>562284767model quality to low
>>562286573>can't looksmax and minmax at the same timeIt’s over…
>>562286894It's a bit of a minmax. The Scorchflame chest piece comes with seven (7) fire resistance and 2 crit and has as much armor as a lvl 5 refinement piece, but it has no slots. That's a bit of a shame but also pretty hard to beat.
Grim
>>562286765The problem apparently is that I took the notice before starting the quest and now the quest doesn't let me learn the note again, and ends up being stuck on "take the poster".
>>562286573The game is easy enough to focus on fashion.
>>562285701Contribution items can be sold back for the same amount
>>562287581That looks pretty cool ngl.
Is there a way to speed up the pet looting? It's cool for when you run into 3 bandits or something. But all the camps have fucking a 150 enemies in them. Poor animal will need days to loot all that shit, lmao.
can i get a hint for solving the sage's peak underground gear thing?
>>562287581well yeah, every gear gives the same stats so you can literally wear whatever you like best
>>562288016Look up.
>>562288016rotate until sound, then a little more to lock, other than that the rest is pretty intuitive
>>562288129>>562288238i already know how to control the pillar to rotate the gears, but nothing changes in the room when i spin them. both counter and clockwise make a sound once you make 2 rotations either way, but idk how to confirm it's in the right place
>>562287009>Burgling a mansion at night.>Finds blood stains all over the place and secret torture chambers.Did I run into the horror section of this game? Jesus christ.
>>562288109Not quite. See >>562286980Some weapons and armor pieces have unique stats.
>>562288398>but idk how to confirm it's in the right placeyou spin it one direction until you hear a unique sound, stop, then keep going in the same direction until it locks, do that for all the 3 outer wheels, then move to the middle, if you need more than that just look up a video
>>562288573man, i must've sat here for 10 minutes holding nothing but left click on one of them, and noticed nothing different. must've been a right click solution lol
>>562288412For being rated M, it's actually very light on that stuff. That's nothing. Even Lost Ark had more horror in that. A bit janky, but full of sovl. It's sad that the game devolved into a raid simulator worse than all others.
So I guess the lack of glowing means that the glow range is not actually infinite? I was kinda hoping that climbing to a high place would just let me place a bunch of markers.
>>562285323That's Kerillian's VA, right? I think I remember reading she was born to Irish parents but has basically lived in London her whole life and does both accents. But I don't remember hhhwhere I read that so maybe I'm schizo
Solid 6 out of 10. Would give it lower but some of the features and the density of the open world boosts it to around average.
>>562288857It's pretty far range, but not infinite. I think that's mostly because it would just clutter the screen with lights, so you had no idea how close or how far something is.
>>562288970bruh
>>562289059Wish they did beams to the heaven or something instead, would make it easier to find.
Just got my farm plot. Any hot tips on what to plant?
>>562289231Only plant the abyss seed things if you have fertiliser, they only grow one 'fruit' otherwise which is just a waste of time
Are you all playing the game the way its actually supposed to be played?
>>562289334I'm a gud boi (when observed)
>>562289314Is that bad because it takes long for them to grow, or is that bad because you need to re-plant after harvesting which would mean you're just re-cycling the same cell over and over again?
Finished main story and everything with the greymane camp yet I still lack faction quests in Pailune and DenemissAre they locked behind bounties or what?
>>562289835no, all the content in the game is just heavily frontloaded.
>Mid end PC built>5070 7800x3d>excited to try this game with ray reconstruction>"best optimized game of 2026!!!">boot up the game>turn on rr>fps tanks to below 30What gives? Do I really need 5090 for this gookslop?
>I thouht I smelled a coward>hello, halfwit! WHY IS EVERYONE DISSING ME?
>>562290174you gotta use dlssnot even 5090 at 4k can run RR native at 60+ fps
>thinking of making a hunting set with a bunch of abyss gears that increase skinning yields>remember there's shadowleaf set that has wildlife disguise>reckon I'll craft some pieces of it and sacrifice a few gear slots, there's no way it needs to have all 5 pieces equipped for the effect to work, right?..>it fucking doesWhat the fuck is even the point then? It's a set that's made specifically for hunting and yet it doesn't let you utilize any of the hunting gears.
Does the pirate king hat actually do anything? Other than looking fabulous, I mean
>>562285418Naira's tits would look better in Damiane's skimpy outfit.
>>562290174Excuse me nigger, what? The only setting I don't have at maximum is the useless lighting effects, and they don't do shit. I got a 4090, and I never go below 80fps, pretty much. No upscaling, ultrawide fucking monitor
>>562290460I makes treasure chests glow when you're nearby, which is a neat idea and even got buffed recently, except you still need to be so close to the chest that you might as well spot it yourself. The only use for it is if there's a hidden entrance very close by.
>>562290628RR turns on lighting to maxif you dial lighting down that disables RR
>>562290928ah, yeah I just checked, you are correct. One thing I don't get, even if you ignore the horrendous fps, it doesn't add anything to the visual effects that I can see. Upscaling in general doesn't seem to help with anything, I just keep it off for smoother, less glitchy performance
>dogs only get 2 chest and 1 helmet outfit>cats get 3 chests and 3 hatsAlso>finally find a long-haired cat in a completely different location from the one I tried to spawn it for like an hour>find three more right afterwards
what does activated mean? it's just sitting in my storage chest
>>562291021They're the best.
Is the trust mechanic completely useless outside of animals
Not gonna lie, this puzzle had me confused as hell, because when I'm not doing story quests where people are talking I'm listening to news, video essays, general youtube videos, and apparently the giveaway was a "clunk!" sound in the right position. I kept looking for visual indicators for far too long, lmao. Even went back on top to see if something showed on top that would let me know how much to turn each.
>>562291280Many merchants offer something new if you max them out. It's rarely worth it though.
>>562284473Hows longsword? I've been using spear and thinking of trying it out.
>Can't put the mining abyss gear on the drill
>>562291556>>562291556Longsword best sword, especially for fights with a lot of mobs. Get hound special, its a great aoe, gives you breathing room and staggers even big mobs
>cat stays on your shoulder even when you're on a horseKino.
damiane is pretty funshame she isn't available for 90% of the story
>>562291350Follow up: This guy can absolutely double suck my dick. I fought him a couple times. First time he elec stunned me, and then killed me while stunned, so okay, great, lesson learned any hit taken will be insta death. I keep fighting, I quickly realize he doesn't take damage, but he has a big ass glowing red weakspot so I figure the game wants me to pull it out. I don't know if it's a mouse and keyboard thing but I can't pull it out before he hits me with something. So I hit give up, look around the arena, Take out my axe, fell one of the trees, pick up the tree with axiom force, walz back into the arena, worm man spawns, gets whack-a-mole'd right back to where the fuck he came from.Fuck that guy.
just got to oonka, how do i dual wield two handers with him?
>>562285882Which ones?
>>562292018think it's a skill in the skill tree
what's the best way to get materials for clear soup
>>562292241One is Prox's Request, it wants me to hand over some counterfeit goods and i have absolutely no clue what they are. Another is Surprise Gift which wants me to hand over a flower basket which i don't have either
>>562292012The intended way is to use the bow to fire at the weakspot until the stun bar fills up, then whack him dead. The intended way also sucks dick because it makes you realize just how shitty and inconsistent the controls and the camera in this game are.
Am I crazy or is there just no bloodstone anywhere? Been wandering the desert for almost an hour now and haven't found a single node.
>>562292624I ran into the Prox's Request one too The item isn't actually a unique one, it's the calligraphic paintings trade good and you probably packaged it. You can just get another one by whacking boxes/stealing stuff or whatever..
>>562292669Oh really? But I think the method I tried first must also be a valid method. Because after reading your post and swearing that I had the "pull" command on screen, I did some googling to make sure I didn't do a dumb and was just tugging on an enemy that can't be tugged and: yeah looks like eventually you can pull it out and whack it, but the comments are full of people bitching about how awful it is. And it truly was, because you keep spamming "pull" with no indication that it is working, but apparently there seems to be a hidden "pull hp" bar that you are damaging every time you press "pull" so if you do it a bunch, even after losing grip it will come out. It's still a bitch of a thing to do, tho, because obviously you spam until it attacks, and then it usually hits you because you're in the stupid godhand mode. Ultimately this whole adventure was kinda pointless for me right now, because it looks like I need to find some other sky puzzles now that I haven't seen yet. So my reward for this whole thing was... nothing, really. Oh well.
>>562292530i got the skill, but it doesn't say *how* to dual wield. unlike cliff, the second weapon has a link icon so if i switch to that, he just pulls out the weapon individually
do those upgrade tokens only last a limited time? i had like 3 of them but now they've disappeared
>>562293275The whole pull mechanic is really ass in general. The strength you apply when pulling depends on the angle and from some angles it takes like 10 seconds of holding the button just to get cores out of their sockets (i.e. in puzzles) and the whole time there's literally 0 feedback of anything happening.
R8 my Captain Kliff SparrowAlso, why the FUCK can't I use all the dyes I unlocked at all the dyers, this is some retarded fucking BULLSHIT
>>562293782>0 feedback of anything happeningYou're not using a controller with rumble?
>get duane's sick ass sword after chapter 7wait did he die at some point?
>>562294250I tried using a controller initially but it was genuinely dogshit and moved to mkb. I only use it when riding the horse.
>>562293275There appears to be another puzzle island close by, off to the left. Looks like you can easily reach it by gliding. I wanted to try that to see if it would unlock the gate but I got distracted by something else.
>>562294812I tried flying to other gates before, it doesn't work. You need to "unlock" them or else it tells you to fuck off.
>>562294924I tried gliding to one and was surprised it worked. Their cockblocking probably isn't perfect.
Rain makes the terrain absolutely hideous. This is all a pretty grassy area, and, well, look at this. It's all this dark grey with patchy bits of grass on top. (also I'm just now noticing how blurry it is around the edges, I thought I turned that off). This seems to be because close up, this entire area is a regular rocky terrain, and then bushels of grass are placed on top. Which doesn't look too bad close up, but from a distance you can't really see it and what should be nice green hills turns into a disgusting grey mess, with patchy bits of green specced in it.
>>562292012Nature's Snare mogs this guy
>>562293853You need to unlock the dyer at the camp for that, he can use any dye as long as you talked to the original regional dyer at least once.
How do I get more reputation points in Hernand after I finished all the bounties and quests?
>>562295912Donate to beggars.
>>562289509Pretty sure every seed is one and done, even apple trees don't seem to grow a second lot of fruit
starting to wonder if this is actually good, like kingdom come deliverance one, or monster hunter's recovery up or whatever it's called. maybe it can double what your food heals?
>>562295832Oh ok, I guess I just gotta progress the main story to get more greyfucksAlso, can I switch horses without going to a stable somehow?
>>562296774You can't switch horses without a stable, no. Your camp will also have a stable once you upgrade it. And a barber and multiple shops and a blacksmith and so on. It's a bit annoying to do, but worth it.
How can you use the cloudrcruiser? I've built two of them now but you can't seem to summon it, it's also nowhere to be seen on the map or anything
Post him.
>>562297214You're supposed to summon it. In one of the quick menus (F1 on mkb I think?) you can switch between the balloon and your horses.That said it might be bugged. It always says that I can't summon it when I try it.
>>562297094Which chapter? I just got to Demeniss after the crowcaller
>>562297724same here, it always says failed to summon
>>562291280I want a city builder with this kind of aesthetic (no, [one you were about to suggest] doesn't)
>>562297492I remain dripless
why do people think this is an rpg? because gear has stats and there's a skill tree?
This game sucks. I'm not buying without having a female main char.
>>562298720Because you play a role in this game.
Man this fucking sucks.I learned that many of the bosses I just deleted actually have skills I should have been able to learn from them, but because I killed them too fast they didn't give me shit. fuck.
>>562292605Buy them
>>562296261Test it and let us know
>>562299019You can just grind for skill points. Hope you enjoy sealed abyss artifacts that require a specific chapter of the main story to unlock.
>high stakes poker>first guy cheats immediately>second guy cheats immediately>third guy cheats on turn 3
>>562297786You can get the camp to max already in chapter 4.
>>562299340the item description still shows the same heal value
>>562296261each tier adds a flat +20 to the amount of health provided and +2 to spirit if the food gives spiritso a +3 gear gives +60 hp and +6 spirit per item consumedmeaning it's far more efficient on bog standard cheap "roasted meat" compared to higher tier food that already has a lot of healing
>ch9>game forces you to go thru the sanctumsyeah im over this
>>562300503you should be clearing them anyways to upgrade your gear
>>562299375>>562299375I get this, but as a completionist, it still fucking sucks.I'm legit considering restarting my 50hr save file because of this BS
>>562300640Just cheat in the same amount of abyss artifacts you missed out on, ez.
I'm sorry but why the fuck are abyss artifacts shared between all 3 characters? what the fuck were they thinking
>>562298720They don’t think it is but they want it to be one.
>>562300838You'd rather have to separately collect some as Damiane and Oongka? You a mad lad.
>>562300838They're farmable and effectively infinite so It's not that big of a deal.Plus I don't think they expected that people will actually use the secondary characters that much. They seem more like an afterthought.
>>562300927nta but I'd rather just fucking be able to play the whole game as one or the other, not just kliff
chapter 8 is the dumbest thing I've played in a long while. It's like they never ran any of this through QA. You're again forced in a character you might have not played, undergeared, underlevelled, can't switch back to maybe farm some stuff.I think I'll drop this game here, can't be arsed to be forced to play a gimped character. Can't be arsed to waste upgrade materials on her.
Will never happen but It would been amazing if they let us fully replay the game from orc and woman's perspective with new story chapters showing what happened when they weren't with Kliff.
>CANT GO INTO THE TENT WITH DAMIANE BECAUSE A KLIFF STORY IS BLOCKING IT
>>562300927what I mean is rather than using abyss artifact from shared pool, I wish each character has their own separate abyss artifacts to use while maintaining the shared total amount between each character>>562301663fuck I'm at the end of chapter 7 forced to play Oongka, that's why I'm bitching about the abyss artifact since I spent all of mine on Kliff
>>562301624It was a major bullshit moment for sure, but if it's any consolation the general is a real gimp - one of the easiest boss fights in the game. Plus some of Damiane's skills just automatically win the fight for you if you wanna spend a couple of points, like the drone that auto targets and attacks enemies.
Ludwig (one arm) is a joke boss.Bastier got nerfed so hard you don't need to upgrade Damiane to dunk on him.
>>562301813meant for this >>562301624 whoops
Did I fuck up somehow or was I just supposed to activate this Seal of Devotion earlier? I'm in act 9 and only have enough points to hire 3 workers? Seems useless.
>>562300073Bull fucking shit, HOW. I can't see more greymane quests, I only got 9 of the fuckers in chapter 5
>>562302925Look out for any Greymane quests outside of the camp as well. Yann being a fucking faggot somewhere in Hernand, for example. Get ready for pain though, they're the worst quests in the game.
>tfw you realize Hernand is the smallest and least cool region in the game even though you spent 80 hours in itHoly moly this game is something else.
>Roylermogs you in your pathIt's too bad I can run faster than this shit "legendary" horse, but at least it looks nice.
>>562304196All the legendary horses have the same speed.
Chapter 5 was super short, wasn't it? I hope the rest aren't that puny
>>562304779
>>562304660Not unless the stats lie they don't.
>>562306030They all have Speed 5 when you level them up.
>>562306415Well that's just gay.
isn't royler's thing accelleration? at least before the nerf to horses. used to get the animation where it rears back and speeds off like a rocket often, now it rarely happensblack horse is supposed to have the most hp and red one is supposed to be the balanced one
>we have all these materials>you only need a couple>however you need 1000x small bones for your refinement have fun!!!state of these devs
>>562285701I got that stupid banner. Does it do anything cool or is it just a shitty weapon?
>>562287009I still have Ronald's request for 5 timber because that fucker is never ever at camp after Chapter 4 begins.
>>562307251Just go to whereever you dispatched him to and talk to him there.
>game features a rape and torture dungeon
>>562307454Or just, you know, cancel the dispatch.
>>562307656Greymanes taking a break on my watch?!
>>562290174I've got a 4070 and I'm running DLSS 4.0 Quality, everything on ultra, no fake frames, no ray tracing, v-sync on and getting 60 fps. Weather effects look better on FSR 3.1 though.
I have become swag, the destroyer of fashion
>>562307714>tfw have to leave in the middle of a job, go all the way back to base camp because boss wants to talk to one of the guys, then return all the way back again and restart from scratchFuck that Kliff guy, I hope he would've stayed dead.
They're going to increase private storage inventory size right? right?
>>562282274If you've gotten the second ice imbue gear, having the two of them equipped makes for a fun combo. You get the normal freeze AoE followed by a frozen boulder crashing down.
>>562308709I'm in act 9 and still only have the lightning imbue.
>>562309103Go get your fire and ice imbues, bro. At the very least, having the fire imbue allows you to perform a Falcon Punch to make enemies fly away as they burn alive.
Should I do the circus as Damiane or Kliff?
>>562309568I've no idea where they are, the abyss map system is completely ass.
>>562292624You probably sold or gave away the basket. I did the same thing and had to find a way to acquire another one.
>>562309629The Spires act as your gateways to new Abyss islands.
>>562309629I jumped in the Abyss today after 50 hours of game, I didnt visit this place since the tutorialI got to another island, solved a puzzle, got an artifactso uhhh, is there anything else to do up there or
>>562300371that's pretty good for cheap spammable stuff it almost doubles the healing
>>562309940I've no idea how I've managed to dodge them all other than the lightning one, but there you go. It is completely RETARDED that the game blocks you from progressing in the abyss if you haven't progressed the main story enough, but then also doesn't have the courtesy to at least mark those spots for later.
Great job introducing Oongka by the time his stats suck compared to John Crimson. And a fucking boss fight to boot
>>562310113Wait, so you've done all the spires but haven't gotten the other elements? Sounds like you didn't complete an island somewhere. I got two imbues from the path that leads out of the Spire of Insight and I'm behind you in the main story.
>>562310296Just use the spin to win attack, the boss is a complete jobber.
>>562304660Only Royler gets the gigadash.
>>562306647good thing I am death, the destroyer of goats>>562308509it really should have been 240 slots per tier of your campit's retarded the global cap is 240 when there's more than 240 unique pieces of armor and weapons in the game alone, let alone the stacks of upgrade materials you'll want to keep aroundkuku pots could have been a solution, but those all have a shared global inventory too, which is neat, but doesn't really help>>562309994yeah it's good, but it's only really good for the cheapest stuffif you can reliably produce the higher quality foods in sufficient quantity, you're better off replacing that gear with someone that gets you more value like %exp gain or another utility mod
Unless I am blind, I wish there was a way to refund a single skill rather than an entire tree. I very much regret getting the bow evade. The animation for what qualifies as a "dodge" is actually just slightly long enough that I end up triggering it by accident sometimes.
Do the armor and weapon matter much as long as they have gear slots? If I invest all my refinements in shadow plate and Frozen Anguish will I find something significantly better that will make me want to change?
where can I report bugs? I hate this game the more I play
>>562311075there are some stat differences between plate and chain and leather and cloth armor typesbut within each category they're mostly the sameplate is highest defchain is a bit lessleather is less than that but has lightning resistcloth is the least def but has movespeed
>>562310827A kuku storage chest would have been a cool unlock through either the sanctum quests or the guy who makes the pots. Have it be a paired item, one gets put at the camp and Kliff carries a smaller version with him that lets you send items to the one in camp. An upgraded version could let you pull items from the one in camp to your inventory. Same thing goes for a kuku alchemist's satchel or one for ingredients or minerals.
Post your pets
Why is Palmar leaf so annoying to get if it's basically essential
>>562309946You'll be able to unlock the elemental skills by completing specific islands and there's also treasure chests up there to be found.
does the stamina/spirit siphon abyss gear work on all attacks or only on kill? cant really tell
>>562312064the worse of a player you are the more it's necessary I'm fine with there being some friction for revives
>>562312127You randomly glow when attacking someone I'm assuming attack over killEspecially since other materia specify "on kill"
Crazy how this game has stolen hundreds of individual systems and mechanics from other games but somehow makes them worse in this
>>562312127siphons are on-hit but it's a small flat amountthey're less useful the higher your stats are compared to just having more damage output which means fewer hits to kill which means less resources consumed
>Fuck around near Demeniss>Find some abyss architecture just lying in the ground>Start it back up>Suddenly in the Inception hallway
2 different rings with 2 different set of statspretty much all rings in the game got the same stats with the same exact refinement level increases however>WE TRICKED YOU THERE ARE 2-3 RINGS IN THE GAME THAT THAT HAS 1 MORE ATTACK OR ATTACK SPEED AT MAX REFINEMENT RANK HAHA. ALSO WE HID THAT INFORMATION YOU CAN'T SEE REFINEMENT DETAILS ON MOST RINGS BECAUSE REASONSDogshit devs
>>562312569+1 to a stat (+2 counting both) is not going to make a difference unless you're trying to minmax, and if you're trying to minmax you're going to look it up so it doesn't matter anywayalso one ring has no substat but several more attack than all other rings :^)
>>562303459I wandered over to delesyia on a whim and it's like an entirely new game over there
this game is just kinda bad. it reminds me of the outer worlds situation but in reverse. fans think it's better than the critics, where as with outer worlds fans and critics thought it was amazing until about 2 months after launch. i wonder if a similar development happens with CD.
Chapter 8 sucks, Korean devs are insanely bad at game design, no wonder they never win a goty. They’re lucky most reviewers never got this far.
>>562313152keep going southeast, trust me
>>562312761I know but it still sucks that certain accessories has hidden stats you can't see until you max themMaxing accessories cost a fortune in materials
Aw man, found a really cool helmet that looks like Alphonse's from FMA. But it's one of the generic pieces that always comes damaged. Fuck you, Pearl Abyss. Let me repair it and use it.
>>562313312unfortunately it gets worse since you have to interact with the sanctums, and the wuxia plot continues.
giving this game 7/10 is pretty fair
>>562313573Really? The fucking wuxia chicks plotline continues!? It feels so disconnected from the world.
Yes fellow 4channers, Crimson Desert sure is bad. Please do not play it, I will remind you about that in your- I mean, our general.
lmao so butthurt
>>562313612having done nearly everything in the game except for all the knowledge stuff I would give it the same score
i think this game is good :)
>>562313650yes it's riveting, they are fighting to keep "balance" while the badguys (antumbra guys) work to offset the "balance" to their ideal. and you're supposed to care about this shit that was last dealt with 8 chapters ago.

The Path of Uncertainty in the Abyss was fucking annoying. Not hard, but it was more challenging than it needed to be because I hade noticeably more input lag in that bit than the part before it or after it. There have been a few areas of the Abyss that were like that, and from the looks of a few posts here and there it seems to be a known issue.
>>562312278This right here. I initially had a stamina siphon on my two hander but replaced it for a crit 3 gear after I got my stamina up to 10. Plus I feel like the siphon only applied to the actual weapon hit and not the barrage of effects I was throwing out. I could be wrong, but it sure felt like that to me. The gear I'm really curious about is the "regain resources on kill" gear. What qualifies as a "resource?" If it's a combination of health, stamina, and spirit and applies to kills made with the gear effects, then it might be worthwhile for group fights.
>>562312761There's actually a couple of rings with 7 attack.
>>562313380What's there? More rape robots? I was over there doing the sanctums and don't think I saw anything special.

So... was unfortunate enough to discover that using the Visione helmet is a hard lock. Meaning once you begin to use it, Kliff WILL NOT stop trying to put it on. So if there happens to be something that knocks you over or damages you, Kliff will immediately start putting it back on again, effectively locking you in a loop until you die. To make it even funnier, once you revive or load back in, Kliff will try to put it back on again anyway. The only fix is to exit out entirely and load a save.
>>562316958just remember to swing by the little people village every handful of ingame daysif you play a few hours a night, just end your day by going there and harvesting them>>562318491after the first time you equip it, it will only be automatically put on when you view memories via lantern or swordlightif you were stupid enough to start putting it on in the middle of a fight which got you into the loop you mentioned, that's both hilarious and avoidable, but good to know
So, when the fuck are you supposed to explore Demieniss? Everyone is hostile there. I can take on the groups, but they're a pain in the ass and each mook takes 10 hits to down
The game pulls the "poor innocent person needs help, follow him/her into ambush" enough times that you instinctively know what's coming.
found this guy. he didn't have an option to buy from him though. gifted him crap and he gave me 15 thick hides which is nice
>>562318675Sneaking into the Demeniss manors as part of the story. Somehow one of the guard NPCs broke his pathing and ended up clipping into the "safe" area right as Kliff pulled the helmet out. Pretty funny stunlock, gotta say.
>>562318935I legitimately get pissed off when the game doesn't let me spin around and gut the cunt who "tricked" me - the bait npc just runs away and despawns while remaining invulnerable, which is bullshit>>562319091lol
>every time a character is brought up
How do I purify the taint, fucking dumb game, im doing focused palm shot to the taint but nothing is happening.
>have to find a peddlers pack>somehow randomly find the pack merchant>massive market filled with nothing but backpacks of all kinds>the seller isnt an actual merchant you can interact with>the packs cant be bought nor stolen eitherwhere the hell am i supposed to get one then
>>562319664hold down the focus palm button and it will highlight an orb inside the thing that you need to punch. it is kind of wonky sometimes. i know there were a couple spots where I needed to electrify the wall and then do that to make it work
>Marnirail is completely empty inside>No passengers or cargo???
>>562319764Thanks, i hate how they never explain mechanics, dumb koreans
>>562319747the UI is misleadingit's literally "any" type of pack, assuming you're doing it to make a kuku pack
Fuck I spoke too soon.
>rock walker>boss healthbar>oh shit>see the ball eye>looks like one of those things you can pull out with axiom force>end up pull off his whole head>it just explodes into a million piecesThat's it?!?
>>562307053You can pole vault with it if you double tap jump. The only difference between it and the banners you can find in the world is that the contribution banner looks cooler, and doesnt break like the others do. So its unlimited pole vaults at the cost of your 2H weapon
>>562319747any npc walking around with a pack can be stolen. also here are tons of packs on display but you have to steal it.
There should be a kick option when beggars grab your feet.
>>562313612it genuinely feels like hzd when i played it. absolutely beautiful world with absolutely zero incentive to explore it. even the story that kept me engaged went to shit.
>>562284473Is this outfit in-game for her?
>>562320048>>562320607bless
Saw a flying white orb thing in the skies above Deleysia. Managed to get up there, work my way inside to the center, but now I'm stumped on what to do. Force Palm works on the stuff shooting at me inside, but beyond that I'm at a loss.
>>562321730that's main quest late game stuff
>my kuku gardening pack stopped working after chapter 10fucking gooks
>>562321845Ah. Was wondering why nothing was happening. I'll return to it later then.
This game NEEDS romance. Let me romance any of the NPCs roaming the world.
sovl
And so begins the grind to get Damiane to a point that she can fight the moon and greymane bosses
hehehbenus
The memory portion of Blood Coronation is fuckin finicky.
FUCK DokeV from taking resources away from this game
>>562322376No it doesn't.It needs hard, sweaty SEX
Are you completely locked out of the resistance +10 armors if you've sold the base variant? Apparently sold both lightning bolt and frostcursed armor and you need them for the kuku upgrade
>>562324596I'm pretty sure they're not unique, or at least there's multiple. I've definitely had two frostcursed boots at once, for example
Bro, what the fuck, its already chapter 7, and the main quests were like 15 minutes each. Go there, kill a bunch of mooks, kill boss, done. Also here's a manufactured sense of urgency to make you drop everything because "I better hurry", even though you could take the next 100 hours to do whatever and nothing would change.Fuck, I'm annoyed now. Will the next chapters be longer? Or still "go there, kill boss, 15 minutes, done"? Is there a point where you can take a pause in this shit to explore and grind THAT MAKES SENSE WITH THE NARRATIVE? Yes it matters to me
>>562287114Go to the nuthouse and see if the bounty spawns there, not sure if maybe you can jump start it or not.
>>562287973Have 2 pets and switch when they slow down seems to work for me.
>Beat boss>Lose in cutsceneI'm mad
>>562324596as far as I have seen, only one copy of the "body" armor for each type exists yeahso you're fucked, for being stupid enough to sell an obviously-unique piece of gearif you aren't too far in it may be worth a restart, though I will note that none of the kuku armors have any abyss gear slots - so the +10res and their respective substat is all you get, in terms of stats or be a cheating faggot and use one of the mods that adds all the unique armors to shops >>562322376go the fuck away bioware, nobody wants your furfaggortry or literel faggotry
Please tell me after chapter 8 there are no more forced character swaps?
>>562291215Same as you almonds anon
>>562291215its pursuing the ants in your tent watch out
>>562292624Pay attention to what you’re supposed to deliver cause you can sell that shit and not notice it. Did it a few times myself until I realized I could just buy what they wanted like other anons said.
>>562324809ANSWER ME NIGGERS RREEEEEEEE
hey, can someone with a stupid expensive battlestation and a 4k screen crank every setting to absolute max and take a bunch of screenshots of the "loading" voxel stream animation when you first enter the game?I need it for reasons and my rig is not very good by modern standards
>>562324809story takes a nosedive after ch8
how long am I forced to play as Damiane, I put ZERO skill points into her and now the game is forcing me against my will to play as this useless bitch
>>562327183Nosedive as in, it slows the fuck down? Or it gets even worse somehow?
>>562327364Don';t you have like a bazillion respec points by now? You can buy three of the fucking things every time you visit the bitch of wisdom
>>562327547i hope you like wuxia and magic shit that was last referenced 40 hours ago
Damiane can't equip Black Sun? It looks like the perfect shape for her. Lame.
>>562318675Don’t do slave camps with bandit mask equipped. I kept tackling and beating slaves trying to do lariats on the bandit.
What's everyone using for Damiane weapon-wise?
>>562327364respec, put points into her melee and beat the boss. you get infinite of those respec things from witches, they cost like 2 silver each. MAYBE upgrade some gear for her, but its not necessary. it just forces you to play as her for like 15 minutes if that if you rush the objectives, with a boss at the end. avoid fighting trash unless you just want to practice combos. I used the fallen kingdom rapier from the staglord castle and beat the boss easily just using the rapier.
It took me 200 hours to reach chapter 8
What were the insane difficult curves in the game everyone yapped about before release? With the exception of 1 maybe 2 bosses that were of standard difficulty the rest were a joke. Didn't use a single pill outside the first 10 hours of the game
>>562328792People try to button spam them probably and don’t pay attention to their tells or try anything other than light or heavy attacks would be my guess.
>>562328783Did you just go off and do 20 hours of side content when Oongka was in need of your help? Or when White Crow was waiting in a cage to be executed?You monster
>>562328783im at the 50 hour mark and im about to fight crowcaller properly, i just keep going off on sidequests doing other shit.
>>562328792the circus boss was awful desu, I died like 8 times trying to do what the game told me (grab onto its head and stab it), ended up looking up what other people did (nature's snare) and killed it the next try. And it still took forever for some reason.
More bosses should be like ator, beloth and the forgotten general
>>562290174you have to consider what optimized really means. it doesnt mean it will literally run on anything. it means efficiency. do you get good visuals and stability per unit of compute? the answer for this game is generally yes. frametime especially. in an era where stuttering is a constant bitch, their optimization to keep hitches to a minimum has been very welcome
>>562329082No actually I put the story on a long break once I reached chapter 4 to upgrade the camp and explore. I'll keep going until Damiane is back and let my wanderlust guide me again
They should have balanced the development of this game more. They put everything in Hernand, and as soon as you step out of it, all other zones have 1/20th the content. It's pretty disappointing.
>>562330537Bait
>>562289334Did you AI that crazy smile on the poster or is that the game?
really wish there was a way to rechallenge bosses>>562330928the wanted posters look more detailed and more deranged the higher your bounty is.
Is there a way to quickly farm abyss gears with damiane?
they probably used way more AI in this game than just the painting.a lot of the knowledge entries seems AI generated or at least AI translated. a massive amount of them just follow the same basic structure>provides a <output>>cultivated in <output>its like someone just made a really basic prompt and reused it over and overbut then a lot of them also seem manual, like an AI wouldnt be able to tell the location is between a meadow and a forest, which it in this case is. so idk why they got so fucking lazy especially the AI painting on this otherwise fine looking asset
>>562330928bounties cap at 100 silver, it used to be uncapped or at the very least have some insanely high unknown cap. you could legit look like a devil
What to do against flying enemies? Do I really need to spam shield reflect or bow? No other options?
240 is shit and nowhere near enough. Can you buy extra storage for your home or something?
How far into the main story should i get before i start just roaming around and exploring?
>>562332869the start of act 5 is when the witches unlock and you can complete your camp construction to unlock the barber
>>562333050Based, will do that.
I'm chapter 5 right now, where did Damiane go? When can I actually play as her??
This game does big battles quite well, I really liked the battle for Calphade. As I was doing it, I thought back about Oblivion, the battle you do at the end of the main story with 20 NPCs maximum I think... How far we've come
>>562333050>>562333117I even reloaded back to just after unlocking the first witch, because it annoyed me to no end how the game tries to RUSH you with bullshit after you visit the Archive again. Fucking retarded gooks. Btw, how do you unlock the other witches? The one you got via main quest didnt leave any hints as to the whereabouts of the others, no?
are any of the legendary mounts faster than a 5 speed horse?
okay that's itmy poor fucking thumbs just can't take it anymorebroke down and ordered a new controller with 2 extra triggers and 4 paddles, which will be here tomorrow morning thanks to the magic of scamazon>>562333293I am fairly certain after completing act 4 I got a quest to go find the other witches, but I know for a fact it wasn't available until then because I went and looked up their locations and none of them existed yet
> interrogate a quest NPC> Damiane rushes over and begins to stab him in the throat> quest failedCool.

I can't wait for a patch any longer.To people who use the shield mod, does it work fine and fuck with achievements? I'm too fucking PTSD brained to install mods mid playthrough because of bad experiences with Skyrim, even worse because I KNOW it's gonna be patched soon.
>>562334639It just disables the model/mesh, it dont do shit mechanically. And a game update will just replace the files anyway, it'll essentially uninstall the mod, happened to me and didn't do anything more
>>562334639What patch you talking about?
>Raining, everything fucking soaking wet and muddy at the camp.>7PM, guess I'll sleep 12 hours in the log cabin.>Learned a new recipeHoly shit, you learn stuff in your dreams like in that game Elin/Elona.
>the crit stat provided by your necklace is doubled for some reason>this means it's way more important to find one of the necklaces that give you +4 instead of +3 because you end up with +8 vs +6bruh
>>562336521Seems like a bug they haven't gotten around to fixing, I wouldn't rely on it.
Can legendary mounts be upgraded?
>>562336521are we talking about level 4 necklaces or fully upgraded ones
>>562337057obviously fully upgradeda few of them give you +4 crit total at the last refinement levelmost give you +3 even at full refinement
Im tired, boss
>spend an hour on a puzzle>google>its buggedfucking piece of shit
Carnival boss was frustrating until I pressed B and won. Also focus dodging is insanely OP
>>562337367One of my abyss puzzles is soft locked, too. The one where you kill the worm boss and activate the wall button, you can't progress further because the abyss shard just doesn't appear.
>>562329285I used the EMP pack,stabbed it three times, and won.
>do sidequests with your companions they said>and it bugs out and softlocks when talking to the npc after herding all those cowsok shills, you got me
>>562333167theres a difference. even oblivion had smarter ai than this game. quality over quantity.
>>562296261It's good just spam clear soup
>>562334639They made all the boss fight and other seamless cutscenes with sword and board. It would fuck with the entire thing if it were gone.
Hit the hundie
What's the consensus on Attack vs Attack Speed vs Crit Rate?
>>562338192Attack speed lets you land more attacks
>>562338192crit rate is double damage
>>562338412what's the crit chance though? i'll rather always be hitting attacks twice as fast, than a chance to hit double damage
>he's doing puzzles beyond the tutorial oneskwab
>>562332869If you want to use Damiane, start of chapter 9.
>>562338192all of them have dimishing returnscrit is double damage so it's worth cappingmore than 10 atkspeed is probably unnecessary compared to getting more atk to boost your crits even higher>>562338514different weapon types apparently have different baseline crit, but we don't know what any of those numbers are because none of them are shown ingame and none of hte datamined DBs have that info
>>562338514Against the more difficult bosses you can't land a lot of hits anyway. I'd rather have massive damage than hitting fast but do no damage.
>Guidance? What do you need that for?>You're doing just fine on your own.peak
>>562330679he's right actually
>tfw you almost deleted the boss health bar with a force palm pulse
Ok dudes don't do this quest, its flat out bugged. Trying to turn in will lock you in a slow walk POV while he never runs his voice lines and you have to reload.
>>562339425Try to use and cancel L3 + R3 (your focus ability), it skips some line of dialogue. Might help
bradie gu boss fight is the definition of not fun
So what was that creature that helps you defeat White Horn? I tried to follow it up the mountain but there's an invisible wall there.
>>562339425I did this quest fine. I have issue with other ones basically I killed enemies at certain locations while I was fucking around and now diary shows that while I did so game doesnt count these two quests as complete for some reason. I legit stopped cleaning enemy camps because it seems some might straight up softlock progress of side quests.
Is the wolf battle mount worth it? I already have a legendary horse and he is fast as fuck.
>>562341107not really, horses are faster with more stamina and the bear is way fucking tougherit's kinda useless 2bh except for looking cool
So redpill me on the dispatch missions where you take over strongholds.I've been avoiding them because I wanna take them over myself, what's the point besides saving you time of sending out your bros to do it in your stead?
If anyone else gets filtered on this quest, here's how: you can hover in place and move the orbs at the same time. The game of course doesn't explain that because gooks.
>>562338129you're retarded.It literally auto swaps your shield back from the wooden one the second the cutscene ends and if you're using a 2handed sword your character auto unsheaths the sword/shield and pulls out the 2handed sword anyway.It wouldn't fuck anything up because it would simply be a "hidden when sheathed" toggle in the menu the same way it is for earring etc, that's literally what the mod does and it works fine.
>>562341668Which chapter is this?
>>562341949what do you mean? Chapter 4 but if you get the dispatch missions earlier
See what Yann needs help with
>>562341107The wolf and bear legendary mounts will fight enemies if you have them around when you're fighting. I summon them whenever I'm taking large camps.
>>562341668They can't fully capture a place. You'll be able to bring a location's combat power bar (the one that decreases as you kill shit and break important structures) down to 20% via those missions. I'm at the point where I've got two squads that get sent out to whatever enemy camps I have unlocked to make things easier when I get to them.
>>562341705how did you NOT discover that you can use the axiom arm mid air?
>>562342196no more

>tfw BiS shield looks like shitI guess I could color it like a turtle shell and go full cowabunga, but they really need to add an official way of toggling visibility for this shit.
>>562341840No YOU are retarded. Because it always has it shown on your back and hip, it can seamlessly pull those out for the cutscene. If you edit it out, the cutscene will play with his hands empty and it'll look broken.

>>562345601neither really
>>562341668I always need abyss artifacts and money so I just do it myself to grind and farm.
just fought abyss kutum for the first time. my new least favourite boss, it was more foodslop than anubi's staff. kutum does less damage than staaff, but all his attacks ragdoll kliff, who has no recovery iframes so you could just get combo'd three times in a row. not to mention, kutum's hurtbox here is large as fuck and worse telegraphed than the BDO world boss version.i don't know what the devs were thinking when they designed him>can't parry>can't focus parry>can't blind>can't force shield>force palm pulse does no damage against it>no axiom environmental gimmicksthe only defensive thing that worked was barely rolling out of range, and ice shield, but that pretty much took up all my spirit after two blocks. it didn't even feel good beating him since i burned through 30-40 pieces of food and learned nothing out of the fight

>>562356041Is that purely visual or does it actually perform as 8 crit?Probably hard to tell with crit, but probably easily verified with attack speed or something, assuming it applies to that too
>>562344934why would i push buttons the game doesn't tell you about
>>562356221you cant get atkspd on necklaces unfortunatelyat least none that I've found yet
>>562338192all shit because weapon slots are for active abilities not stats
>>562356389Hm, you may be right. The database doesn't show that any exist
>>562356747>active abilitiesyou know those are multiplicative drains on your resources right?like if you've got 1 ability on heavy attacks that increases the stamina cost by 50%, and if you've got 2 abilities on heavy attack, that's another 50% increase, and so on
>>562332869finish it, not joking, an entire area had nothing for me to do, wandered around for an hour, looked it up, its all locked behind chapter 9

Oh FUCK not THIS shit again
Surely the next patch will let us dye kuku gearright
>>562357359That one is hilariously easy. Find the spot on the central piece that's connected to the three tallest ones. Lower them down until the visual indicator shows up. You'll know it when you see it. Climb on top of the only pillar that's not at the correct level, then do jumping aerial palms to hammer that fucker down.
>>562357359I think I cheesed that one maybe? I have no idea how you're supposed to do it the "normal" way. One of them can't be pulled up or down at all which soft locks you if you jump on it.

>>562359106I would never sell any of my collection. Every piece is a precious memory that you can't put a price on.

I feel like I sequence broke because I grappled my way to the top of the plateau palace and there's dead guards everywhere in this room with no rhyme or reason.
>>562358957I've had to resort to just stuffing all my abyssal gears into empty armor slots in order to save space
>>562359694Climb the rest of the mountain and you'll see why

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>562346673what, you can pull it's core out with axiom, granted it's hard but yes you can do that
>>562361159Just use a mod.
>>562361159>dude let's give everyone 240 storage slots only even though that's not nearly enough for all the unique equipment plus abyss cores
>>562359696I do the same thing. I first check to see if I can refine anything to upgrade it, then I grab some armor and throw the gears in. Once I get Damiane back, I'll have to throw some gears into her equipment.
>>562359751Ah. Kinda feels like something that would put the palace on lockdown but everyone else was just chilling.
>>562346673All you needed to do is chop down one of the trees by his arena and carry it in. Whack him in the head with the tree and he dies instantly.

Why the fuck are all the tutorial missions so late in the game after you unlock the camp? Brawling, Gambling, Archery, By the time I've got these quests of greymanes taking me to do activities, I already had the god damn throphies for those activities.
>Kliff has no personality, it should have a character creator insteadfair>meanwhile, Link having no personality in BotW and no one even suggests it should have a character creator
>>562361616i did see the trees once the fight started, but climbing over the edge brings out the oob timer, so technically the devs didn't intend for that to happen. at least with anubis' staff guy, you could use nature's snare to block his ranged attacks. kutum gives you nothing to work with
>Naira:"Haha Duane is such an Idiot, doesn't know how to hold a bow, he hit himself in the head with an arrow!">Duane:"Naira keeps mocking me, just because I fucked up once. We have to prove to her that I'm the better hunter, come to me to this archery contest and win it, that'll shut her up". Is.. is he deficient? How the fuck would Kliff proving that he also is a better archer than him, make Naira stop mocking him for sucking at archery? HE needs to win the contest, not fucking me. It's like proven that you're a great at DIY by having your dad put up a shelf for you.

Am I ever gonna find sexy armor? I keep running around in the starting towns reputation armor, and so far have the only item I've "found" and used was the Hwando 2hand sword. (Does it count as a longsword, I guess?) Other than that, my Equip is all vendor. I don't hate the knight look, but I would love something less generic, without looking it up. Will I find better / cooler armor soon?
>>562363134are you deficient? he claims the victory for himself, and all she would hear from random rumors is that "a greymane won" >>562364083search behind more waterfalls

>autosave from 1 minute ago>manually save just in case
>>562364530When they're inevitably going to patch in more storage space and corrupt my 160+ hour save? No thank you.
>>562350089Wait, are we meant to feed the animals on the ranch ourselves? Is that why none of my animals have grown from being a baby in forever?If so, that's dumber than the farming-loving greymane who stands next to the tilled soil watching you plant and pick everything yourself. Do your fucking jobs.
Found a wagon with nobody around, can you filter the map for wagon fences, or am I gonna have to look up where the fucker was?
Holy shit>glide>X accelerate>L3 + R3 focus>O air evade>stay in focus mode>go FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
>>562339923I did that one. What really chapped my ass was the mob that surrounds you. In my game, they never stopped firing arrows. Even worse, even though I cleared the camp objectives before, I still got the arrow rain on top of that. And when I looked up how other people dealt with it out of curiosity, no one had either issue. The mobs watched patiently and there was no arrow rain. So yeah, I had a grand ol' time as well.
>>562365010Setting the map to "environment" is the best you can do. It will be a red tinted symbol though since it's an illicit activity.
>>562365214There was an anon a couple threads away complaining about the uselessness of a minor spirit regen increase. But honestly, after gaining the glide abilities and being able to do tripple force palm jumps, you welcome every bit of spirit regen because it's faster than your horse for anything but very long distance moves.
>>562353572You just know those things are being constricted by the armor and they're somehow two or three times bigger once unleashed.
>>562365351Well, never fucking mind. I pressed escape to open the map, and apparently because I sat in the wagon near a cliff for a while I guess the game thought I was stuck and fucking teleported me away, without my new wagon, which is now gone. Cucked again.
THE NORTH HAS NO PLACE (for you)
is worth it farming ass artifacts at the academy? I've been here for like an hour and only gotten 3, till faster than looking for fights but it gets repetitive and I end having to pay bounties when I can't escape in time.

The difficulty in this game is completely out of whack. You can run into a camp with a hundred enemies and you can just hold right click while watching youtube to demolish them all. And then sometimes you hit a boss and he just stuffs you into your own asshole.

Is spamming embued turning slash the endgame boss strat?

>>562367046No, not good. Every normal enemy in the game being dynasty warriors level unthreatening is fucking boring as hell.

>>562369606Honestly I don't know. Getting silver normally is pretty damn slow.

In what universe are some of these food recipes viable? 24 veggies and 12 fruit for a single heal seems insane.

Was this entire quest: >"Oy Kliff, I sees some red smoke from over yonder!" >go there, liberate some camps>enter big camp>fight big smoke boss>he dies>quest overNot lore? No "someone summoned this" no "this came from XYZ"? Just "I see some smoke" go over there, kill a boss, quest over without so much as a "you did it"? Did I like skip something? I'm so fucking confused.
>>562370025thats transmog, basically what people were bitching about wanting.
>>562370345It makes more sense if you just assume everyone knows that smoke monsters exist and aren't a big deal.
AAAIIIEEEE
>>562370025>>562370363I mean you can go two ways:>Progressive gearPeople complain that they have to wear stuff they don't like the style off>stat identical gearYou can wear what you want, but people will complain that it feels like there's no progression.
>>562369606make sure to donate into each city's solomon church to increase the bonus for each mission by tens of a percent (might even go up to 100 but I haven't donated that much yet). I have my boys running the missions that have a shield icon 24/7 to keep pulling in dough. You also get a bigger bonus for putting 2 more personnel on a mission above the minimum.
>>562370469Even in that case, I'd expect some: "A smoke monsters is attacking the outpost!" and some blabla on where it came from etc. This was so anti-climatic. Like, even if I got this as an MMORPG quest I'd expect a little more meat on that bone ya, know? So far that was my first quest where I get send to do something and it just unceremoniously ends the second I kill the enemy.
>>562368772You need to walk around with a lantern until you see a noble carrying gold bars instead of a pouch or key. It's a rare spawn so you may need to walk around the park for a few minutes. You may also have to pickpocket the noble up to 3 times.
>>562370025this is a good thing. we don't need more youtube clickbait about where to find the best weapon and armor.
>>562370643Or simply show a menu saying "Use this gear's appearance" when right clicking on a piece of armor. 2 birds in one stone.
>>562370960Pretty much. One of my annoyances with dragons dogma 2 was that exploring felt like shit when you overleveled an area too quickly. You'd beat some cave only to find some weapon that would have been decent 15 hours ago. You could just save yourself time by buying the best vendor item and ignore exploration altogether. It felt awful
>>562370604what the actual fuck am i supposed to do for this "puzzle"
>>562366447Bloodsteel Camp vendor sells it at 100 trust level
>>562371076thats anti sovl
>>562370025there's still an incentive to hunt for gear if you're conservative about upgrading your equipment yourself. But if you invest in yourself then you can pawn the shit off for money after taking out their abyss cores to synthesize stronger and stronger ones.
>>562371207The answer is always force palm.
I wanted to strike a pose to be cool and I accidentally swept up the artifact in the vortex and now I can't control kliff until he stops
>>562370025too many rpgs do the thing where high-tier gear must look edgy and glow-y. with crimson desert i get to wear something that's immersive with the world without any drawbacks
>>562370345There's a tiny bit of extra lore about it in the bestiary but yea that's it, just another monster to kill and move on.
The pirate king hat is significantly less useful than I imagined it would be
FYI, you can also load the bounty onto Damiane's horse to potentially catch and carry 3 simultaneous bounties. Not that will ever be needed... probably.
>beat up dogshit giant robot boss at the circus where you just stand outside his range and wait for missiles to send back>get a dogshit hat that you cant even upgrade that gives a shitty effectwowalso the game never triggered the stagger execution on that boss when i did it so many times on others
>>562371370there's nothing to force palm in there, you gotta stand on that for like 10 seconds but the lasers rape you off
>>562371537Disappointing.Oh well, I have done so much bitching about the game let me say something posititive: At least when you're doing a puzzle, Kliff doesn't go: "That Symbol! Maybe I can use force palm on it?"
>>562347371I was running around here earlier and couldn't find anything but that big weird pot in the middle you can't interact with.

Abyss gears are taking up a big part of my stash. Should I synthesize all the ones I'm not using to downsize and gamble an upgrade or is it wrong to dump them all like that?
>>562371998damn ty i thought i had tried that
>>562372507I don't know how it was in v1.00, but synthesizing 2 of the same type are guaranteed to get you a next level gear.
>>562372967you can't synthesize two identical gears of the same level anymore, unfortunately
>Have to go to scholarstone>they supposedly hate outsiders>invitation only>so I get a stolen uniform from a fence>go to scholarstone>still wearing all my other armor, big fuckoff sword, helmet etc, CLEARLY not a student>Say hi to the dean>he starts telling me everything about the place and what they do and walks with me showing me stuff for some reason.This.. this doesn't make sense, does it? Is it just me?
>>562373072Did they just roll out an update today? I've been synthesizing duplicate gears an hour ago.
>>562373143buddy this game is ai generated dont sweat the details
>>562372967It's a 46% to get one of the level higher. Is there a way to get abyss gears in good supply later in the game?
>>562373159oh, i thought you meant the random synth crafting. you can still upgrade gears using a 1+1=2 system, but the one where you select two to make a random is still random
>>562373194It sure fucking is! Because:>continue the walk and talk>Get introduced to another scholar>"This is the greymane send by Alustin"THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS GETTING THAT OUTFIT ALL ABOUT? CLEARLY I've been personally invited! What's with all this nonsense? Why do I have to wear the... jesus fucking christ man.
>>562354192explore the town area in scholarstone, i think somewhere around the wrestling ring area there's some bismuth walls you can palm to find an ice resist +5 cloak
>>562373143>>562373403If you paid attention you'd have noticed that Alustin was sending word ahead to the Dean via letter that you were coming AND that Kliff mentioned Alustin to the Dean in the literal first conversation they have before they start walking.
>>562373628Yes, I got that what I mean is: Why go through all this "Get a stolen uniform from a fence" when I'm invited and the dean expects me?
>>562373879They pussied out at the last minute. There's also another mission in chapter 7 where you're told you need to sneak in to avoid prisoners getting executed but you can completely ignore that.
>>562373143they had to include something, at least be thankful its more than zelda
You guys think they'll add anything else to the game or just basic bugfixes/QoL?
>>562373143It's an awkward circumstance because if you go the intended way, which you absolutely should because it's the only way to unlock the force palm upgrade, you'd normally need to wear the uniform... but if you just climbed up the mountain to get to the school you not only don't need to do that, but the quest itself skips right past that to the part where you just say hi to the dean if you've already been to the school. The game is oddly bad at accounting for you just climbing to reach places.
>>562374008>>562374125I also kinda laughed with the quest that send me to scholastone (just fucking realized it doesn't have an r in it) in the first place, because they acted like it's some deeply hidden secret place. Bitch you can see it from half the continent away, there's a giant building on top of a mountain. You think that wouldn't have curious people wandering over?>But anon, the pass was blocked!Yeah true, but still it's not like it's fully surrounded by impassable mountains, there's a fucking pass right up to it, that then gets blocked, and like, these's a bit of a stone wall seperating them. But that's not even a particularly high wall. People would have easily climbed this, are you kidding me? This would have stopped no-one who was curious about that giant fucking building on top of a mountain.
>max out gifts for a bank jew>gives nothing in returni should have fuckng known
>I had to google this because it only works if you move the mouse very very slowly Okay, lmao.
>>562374505they will shit out tons of DLCs soon dont you worry about that, its Pearl Abyss + the game is heading for 5 million units sold
>>562375036not sure if its placebo, but i maxed out relations with him and out of 15 investments only 1 was negative.by the way, really makes you think how bad people are with money when they put on high risk strategy, that can literally -50% your bank account at any given moment, while only providing up to +55% ROI
>Have to pay 100 silver to even use the bank in the first place>Medium and high risk options are traps that will lose money in the long run>Low risk takes 210 days on average to double your investment, you'll finish all the content way before that so you might as well use the money now>Bank is bugged and might get stuck on "refreshing", wasting even more time>Tax collector
>>562375297Gambling is one hell of a drug. Only safe way to use high risk is to save scum like a motherfucker.
>>562375371>medium option>trapare you retarded? high is, yes, but medium is literally the money maker. low is not an option because it is too low of a returnlow risk returns ~1%/3d, medium ~2%/3d while high is ~-2%/3d (literally minus), that is if the investment is actually random in the specified ranges, and the longer i play the more it makes me think its skewed towards positive returns>>562375472yeah but its a fuck ass exploit though, nothing stops your from stealing gold bars at the park too. its a sandbox i guess so you do you

Trying to play like a mage in Damiane sucks... you run out of spirit immediately, and all the elemental skills are melee range anyways... damn.
Do contribution vendors unlock more stuff when you get higher with the faction? The scholar has a total of 3 items, kinda meh.
>>562375712I wish naira would plow me
>>562375628>~2%/3d while high is ~-2%/3d (literally minus)Maybe it is skewed, but if it isn't, your numbers are calculated using the wrong method in the first place.
>>562375653It's been brought up but only by extreme autistsStop being a normalfag
>>562376105except its not, its a geometric mean. 2.0 for medium and -2.3 for high to be precise. happy to be proved wrong tho
I don't know if this is a hot take or not but you know what I could do without? Heat/freezing mechanics. You're telling me I can chill in the clouds solving puzzles in the sky, but sitting in the scholastone library is just a bit too chilly? This is annoying. I don't wanna deal with putting on temperature appropriate clothing.
>>562376323ah i cant fucking read, sorry for that. yeah if it is skewed towards positive returns then the numbers are absolutely wrong indeed, but don't think we have any formula for now how the returns are calculated. best we can do for now is approximate based on the ranges, and -50% to 55% is a helluva range on the loss side

Are there spirit regen abyss gears? I need an infinite spirit build so I can spam ranged and magic.
>>562376412It only really starts to affect you once you hit the far extremes. Until then it only makes you stamina drain faster/refill slower.

It starts getting lighter at like 2 AM though which is weird, I guess Pywel is near one of the polesNoNoNoNoThey do do something but yes still bug out constantly despite being "fixed" twiceNoNoWhatNoNoWhatActually she gets bigger boobs just by walking and you don't know a thing about women if you think THAT's a B cup
>>562354192>>562373419To the west of the wrestling arena in the village area by Scholastone. Go up some stairs and there will be a cavern with some tables and other crap in it. Exit that cavern via the left corner area and hang a left to go up some more stairs. Follow those to the end and you should see the bismuth wall ahead of you. If you've got the quest from the troll by the lake, one of the pieces he needs is right by this area behind another bismuth wall.
>>562376584>>562376787If night time is too bright, just take out your lantern, makes it dark as shit.
whoever designed this thing should just KYS NOW!
Was I supposed to like.. solve this puzzle with the platforms? Because I just used the force palm jump to get up here and it worked fine.
>Abyss is full of platforming "challenges" that are completely pointless past because of Kliff's mobility toolsIt's like the designers in charge of each part of the game don't talk to each other.
>>562378252They probably copied that from BotW/TotK too
>upgrade skill to ignore super armor>boss's super armor ignores skill to ignore super armorfuck this game
>>562378296Botw/totk at least made all their puzzles into closed of shrines with unclimbable walls precisely because they realized their "climb anything" approach killed their ability to have puzzles.
They need to seriously increase the range of the blue lights. What even is the point of climbing to a high spot to find shit, if climbing to a high spot also prevents you from seeing most of the blue lights. Second pic is taken roughly from where the red dot is. There's 2 lights pretty visible, and the rest I only see zooming in, knowing that they are there. I did not see them when I did the flash up there. Just show them all. This is so ass to deal with. And exactly the reason why there's dumbass websites that make huge fuckoff checklists for this shit. Because you can't rely on the game to guide you properly.
>>562375087Me too. Fuck people without a controller I guess.
>>562376787>Clear nights are bright, rainy nights are not. It starts getting lighter at like 2 AM though which is weird, I guess Pywel is near one of the polesmy first 3 nights were clear and dark, then a few updates later and now even cloudy nights are really bright
>>562375087>>562378949Part of the issue was that if you move it up quickly, it looks like something is happening. The beam bends very noticably upwards, but obviously you run out of space on desk. So it looks right, but is wrong. Causing you to look up what the fuck went wrong, and then finding some youtube comment going: "yeah you need to move the mouse slowly". I could have been stuck on this for hours, I would have never thought that the solution is: "pull less hard". Also: The mouse wheel is clearly also shown as white, making me think that scrolling would work, which it didn't.
>bleed bandit boss nigger fight >blasting my shit with his shotgun axe >beat him>blows his own shit smoove off in the resulting cutscene
>kliff can't even use gunsalright that was the final straw, fuck this gooktrash
>>562379165I said it before and I'll say it again. To me the main difference is if I have the lantern on or not. If it's pissing down at night, I can still see pretty clear, but if I turn the lantern on everything outside my light cone gets pitch fucking black. But I'm also the kind of anon who doesn't need pitch black nights in my video games. As long as it's visibly / noticably night. Keep the pitch black stuff for the horror game girlies.
>>562379206I had a similar issue when learning to fish. The only info you're given is "scroll to reel it in", and the image shows the scroll wheel with up and down arrows. I tried for at least half an hour before giving up and somehow googling the info that you must scroll down, scrolling up does nothing. Logical in hindsight I guess, but it could be a little more fucking clear.
>>562379620I was being stupid with that quest myself, missing the "when the fish tired itself out" part in the instructions and I kept snapping my line. But that one was on me, I clearly didn't read properly.
wait... abyss puzzles aren't main story quest line only? i can just explore this place at will if i manage to reach them?
>>562380534>i can just explore this place at willYou're supposed to do this, but at the same time they'll frequently cockblock you with "nuh uh come back later!" messages.

>>562378092Yeah those show up later too and they're just as pointless then. I think they were designed before flying/force palm was in the game. >>562378875Try spamming your lantern. It's much more noticeable during the day

>>562381957that's not a flaw, it allows creativity from the player. In CD all the puzzles only have one solution, that's lame
>>562382310I didn't have to think for a single moment in any TotK shrine. CD puzzles frequently require figuring out multiple steps, the first one being what the puzzle even is
> do every bounty in Hernand> my reward is 2 copper pouchesMan fuck these gooks. I expected a bounty hunter armor or something, not a fucking 1.39 silver, what the fuck.

Have they been tweaking the graphics the past week? I'm noticing a lot more pop-ins even though I'm running at max settings. And there's this border a few meters ahead of you where you can see the ground textures get more detail as you ride on your horse.I don't think it was this noticeable right after release, but it's distracting me now that I see it.

Im getting a bit tired of how obtuse interacting with some of these puzzles areThe puzzles themselves are usually easy as hell, but how to actually interact with them is hidden in some bullshit. I think I'm just going to search up shit from now on. Just spent 1 hr trying to figure out how to do the cube puzzle in the abyss, to find out it's in the corner on some other goddamn platform. Then proceeded to solve the puzzles in <1 minthis really is am ai slop dogshit game wrapped in a pretty skin.
Nights can be fairly bright IRL just in case any of you city-dwelling cave goblins have never stepped outside of your light-polluted shithole when the sun's below the horizon.And I imagine they had sunrise be as early as 3am just so that there's more day-time gameplay than night on average.

>>562307053Get a refund, unless you're really like vaulting them long, hard poles.>>562289334I've just reached her mandatory section, and it's putting me off the game. How long does that shit last? I've just found her lesbo fren in prison, now I gotta go win her first boss fight
Why is every elemental unlock tied to one single spire chain of puzzles?At least every spire should have a different element at the end of the abyss. Also there is not a single visual clue that you got the powers
Unpopular opinion: If you think the forced Oongka or Damiane bosses are hard you've been carried by food spam.

>>562386445does he know?
I think I actually hate this games gear systems. Getting new equipment is the opposite of exciting
>>562386402You need to use the lantern to find nobles that carry a bar. You can't just pickpocket any noble.
>>562291816Yes, tho I wish they made the kots cling on when I sprint, both on foot and horseback. >>562292683There's a vein due east from Hernand castle, just across the river. Keep checking weapon vendors, they sell it 1 or 2 a time. If you don't see it, try vendors in areas you've liberated or max out their trust.Lastly, though I can't confirm it myself - imbue fire attacks on iron ore (veins, I think) transmite them into bloodatone. Someone said it
>>562386402They are a rare spawn, at the entrance of the zoo there is usually one. Just do a quick lantern check and teleport back to refresh the nobles
>>562386317Only part I hate of tge gameEvery boss fight is trying to stunlock them with palm strikes and praying you dont get oneshot by some unavoidable attack
>>562293503Check that you haven't accidentally grouped them under some random section in inventory, BUT - I noticed when I got mine thst while they were available at the smithy, I couldn't see them in my inventory. Are they definitely gone?Also, they are region based, Hernand etc so they might not show up if you aren't in the area you're meant to use them in. >>562294396If I recall, he decides to stay in Pailune after the battle, get into politics or some shit. That was like one sentence in a convo I remember, haven't bothered to check
>>562386003how do I fight bosses properly. I feel like I get endlessly combod and when I get an opportunity to attack they teleport away or do super armor bullshit. blind and force palm don't feel like they come out fast enough and I just eat shit for trying to use them
I think the abyss was designed without force palm jumping in mind. I wonder if it even existed when they were designing the puzzles. It completely trivializes basically every movement platform in the game combined with gliding. Maybe they had to assume some players wouldn't even know it existed so they needed an alternative way to get around?
>>562386557>There's a vein due east from Hernand castle, just across the river. Keep checking weapon vendors, they sell it 1 or 2 a time. If you don't see it, try vendors in areas you've liberated or max out their trust.I know all that. I had exhausted the vendors available to me.Anyway I found 3 veins immediately outside Varnia. It's just crazy to me that I combed the entire western half of the desert and found no bloodstone whatsoever.
how do you replay visions? im at a manor and exited out, then realized that a purple item only appeared while in vision mode

what am I in for lads
>>562387446wtf
any practical use for changing your element? all the spirit moves seem to still be doing spirit nature effects
>>562301624At it now, if I had spare cores I'd upgrade what I need and then just respec once her section is done, but as it is, I'm stuck there too, and it's killing my vibe. I could revert to the kliffs save, respec him and then have enough points to max her out just for that section but I think I'd rather stick pencils in my ears than go through the find prison mission.
>>562387305is this even the right screen to be on?
>>562387503man I thought the sword was badthis guy is something else altogether
>>562387513Certain enemies are weak to different things.
>>562387305okay, both of you guys were half right. you're supposed to go into inventory, select helmet and press "use," no need to equip it, or access the knowledge tab
>>562387446>>562387869this guy was pretty neatslower paced fight since I couldn't just immediately obliterate him with imbued attacks
>>562388072what does this change though? force palm?
>>562388657you have to get the imbue skill than you can use it on a few different things
>>562388648finally got another r2 gem nothing like blowing through my entire stamina bar with 2 button presses
>>562388936I would remove Ator's Orb if you value your eyesight
>>562386494agreed, its pretty disappointing to get any gear without some unique weapon ability or element skillsall the other cool stuff is late game kuku gear, there isnt much incentive for me to really explore the whole map instead of finishing the main quest to get cool stuff now that im 2-3 chapters away from credits
>>562389057but it looks fun
this is anti Semitic
Who the fuck is master du. Kliff acts like we're supposed to know him.
How the fuck are you supposed to beat this Antumbras Sword or whatever boss? I die in 2 hits and barely do any damage. I have the quest to purify these sanctums.
Screw cats and dogs, I want whatever this is as a pet.
>>562389619just come back later when you have better gear, upgrades, skillsthere are quite a few of these bosses out there, some you'll find by accident, others are part of side-quests that point you to them that will just curb stomp you on your first try
>"dude Spear is the best weapon type you have to try it it's the boss killer!">that wind-up on Turning Slash and Forward Slash
>>562389794does attack speed do anything?
>>562389743Its a side boss then? I was sure this is required to progress since its one of these sanctums. I need to look closer this map I guess.
okay lads i need some assistance with the chapter 8 story. when was damiane's swordsmaster mentioned in the quest? when visiting the rivaling manors, the visions only told about working with black bears and jackals to take over pailune.
>>562389619First you need to upgrade a bit your healthHe only has a charging wave attack that can oneshot you, the rest of his attacks hurt but you can heal through them. Triple palm strike sends him against tge wall for a easy pummelling
>>562389824It does, but even then it's by far the slowest wind-up on those two essential skills out of all the weapon types. Even 2handed isn't this slow at the start of the animation. With Spear you can get constantly interrupted on Forward Slash especially.
>>562389652I was super disappointed we could only have cast and dogsI don't even care about mounts I want random animal pets.
>>562389619The guys giving you advice are noobs lmao.Just don't get hit and slowly break his poise bar, you can kill him without any notably upgrades, parry helps somewhat but isn't needed.
refining gear is such a menu choreis there a faster way? like refining 2-3 levels in one go?
>>562389886iirc from kliffs perspective it was just a coincidence that his investigation overlapped with damianesi frankly didnt pay much attention to damnianes reasons for going on her own investigation like 2 chapters before it actually became relevant, i wouldnt be surprised if between chapter 6-8 you were able to talk to damiane about her progress but i just ignored it
>>562390420You can spend the tokens to go from level 1-4 to 5 but they are rare quest rewards, otherwise no.
Love this new horse barding I got.
>>562390441i just found it weird in a silly way how the quest description and step towards the next quest was about learning who captured damiane's mentor, and not the big plot reveal that deminiss was behind funding the black bears
So, what's the best livestock to get for your farm?
>>562384579you can skip like 99% of the puzzles.they dont reward you with anything since the game's progression is a joke, just skip them.
>>562386293That a mod?
>>562391210buffalo
>>562384579this is probably the most realistic way of doing puzzles. it's operating technology that you have no knowledge of, and not because it's a puzzle for puzzle's sake.the ancient civilization people had knowledge of what to do and can do it effortlessly, like you said, probably within a minute. but to kliff and us, we have no context of what these contraptions are; it makes total sense that the hardest part is figuring out how to begin process, not necessarily the act of operation.
>>562389296funny how the most woke infested company, that designs it characters with a tool that carefully adjusts the ethnic mixup of a design, still doesnt think the jew nose is a jewish trait
If anyone curious how often Pearl Abyss update their game. It's once a week on BDO. So yeah expect a regular patch update weekly.
>>562389619you're there too early probably.every boss is more or less tuned so you can beat it by spamming food, spamming dodge and spamming attack randomly
Annihilate them.... Annihilate them...
Oh no no no You guys were not kidding when you said Kliff get's older in the epilogue
>>562384579The only ones that threw me for a loop were crouching force palm and "resist" while clinging to a surface. Everything else seemed obvious to me. I have two abyss islands left to do.
Is there anything to do after you've beaten all quests and outposts?

Another fucking crash when trying to exit the fucking map! Is anyone else getting these? It's not frequent but it's happened a few times.

>come to a ruin in the woods>blue POI light on a little raised grave thingie>clearly a wall in front>try force palm>run around looking for mechanisms>spend a good 15 minutes in this tiny graveyard ruin>turns out not all of the torches were lit>lighting the two missing ones (one of which was out of pattern) opens itOkay, I get that this is a basic ass zelda puzzle. Sure. But in Zelda, you have nothing else in the environment except for the unlit torches. Making it very obvious that they are a puzzle. In a game like this, with so much realism, you see a bunch of stone torches, making everything nice and bright, you don't notice that one is not lit. It doesn't register that these are a mechanism to open a door. Because the game looks so realistic, and you wouldn't light a torch in real life to open a grave yard door.If this was a sterile room with special looking braziers, maybe. But just some stone torches? Fuck me.
>>562396073try disabling AMD and Steam overlays if you have them
Those last few greymanes that aren't in camp yet must be fucking stupid as all hell. All over the region my men are repairing houses, building bridges, statues, we're EVERYWHERE, and still, they have not investigated and joined back up.
the state of this game
>be a retard>blame the game
>>562396275Already had the AMD overlay off, tried turning off the Steam overlay and it crashed when I tried to revive after taking a long walk off a tall cliffWhat the fuckIt hasn't done THAT beforeI did try opening multiple places in rapid succession on the map before that... maybe the game hates that specifically?
>>562397346you could check the integrity of the files with Steam
NO NO NO NO NOT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
>>562397346I've crashed while using the map before with an nvidia card. I think the map is crash prone. It only happened twice in 100+ hours though.
>>562397484>>562397645Maybe, but I think it has something to do with visiting multiple biomes in a single session, which includes just on the map (in 3D). Every time it's crashed now that I think about it, I've visited multiple different biomes. Especially the desert, that's definitely been a factor, as I wasn't getting any crashes until I got to the desert.
>the fight arena boss is clearly using abyss powers>use your abyss power>disqualifiedfucking cheating nigger.
I'm just sending greymanes out on missions hoping to level them up, but where can you actually see how close they are to leveling up? I wanna level up Otto so I can build wagons.
>>562398924I think the UI is really misleading on that and their skills just unlock as you expand the camp, not from doing missions. Not entirely sure what the "XP" on some missions is, maybe contribution points.

>>562401235I hate how the game has been cannibalized by mediocre "creators" and they're all posting the same trite stuffand if you take away the sense of discovery and wonder from this game there isn't much left
I think some of the negative reactions of players are in part because of horrendous bad marketing.If they would market it first and foremost as a sandbox game similar to Just Cause instead of an RPG they would not face this issue.If you are coming into Crimson Desert expecting an RPG with cool quests, setting and an immersive world sim, you would be disappointed.On the other hand if you come in thinking of it purely as a sandbox game it is one of the best playgrounds there are.Nitpick that bothers me the most is that I do not understand why we do not have character creation. All of the characters are wet cardboard, we know they have character editor in the engine, there would be nothing lost by having your custom character instead of a premade ones.
game is incredibly blurry when raining, what going on
