Turns out my instinct was correct... you don't wanna fight this big bitch, you wanna run xD Beat her my third try. By my third try that's the most important thing I learned, do not try to fight big momma, get the hell away from her. When she emerges she has an explosive blood AOE that causes blood loss, and leaves a lingering effect on the ground that damages you over time. She also has other large AOE attacks which you can see coming, and dodge easier the further away you are. Basically, she comes out, does her thing for a couple minutes then fucks off at which point the meat Valkyries start attacking you again. They're what you wanna kill. I'm not even sure you can hurt the worm, she squished me anytime I got too close. I will say, gorgeous boss fight, one of FromSoftware's finest. I've also decided that Rancorcall is the best spell against them. It does good damage, doesn't use much mana, and it's quick to cast. That's the main issue with other more powerful spells like the moons or shattering crystal, they take way too long to cast, you get smacked before you get a cast off. The meat Valkyries move much quicker, and extremely janky which makes them difficult to dodge so you just don't have time for long casting. You also want to stick together with your teammates, but that's hard to do when everyone takes off in different directions xD

Well I tried to run...
ezgif-5f28f3ea6e361127

It did not work xD
I knew something bad was coming when they all disappeared mid smack... I wasn't expecting some graboid fucker. First time against the Everdark Valkyries, my team was completely fucking useless, and of course, no staff for me. The fight kinda reminds me of Super Meat Boy xD When all the dead Meatboys come together to form the boss in Hell. All the dead Valkyries coming for your ass... I don't think it would be impossible if I had ANY decent weapon, and maybe teammates who weren't immediately three bars dead. That's the problem though, I'm pretty good at the base Valkyrie fight, but most people I've played with are not so... They're definitely going to struggle against a harder version. And that struggle comes to me when they land on my team. And everyone wants to play Scholar, and I just... I keep hearing how OP he is. Where? When? Cause I haven't seen it. I've duoed with several who were fine, but they weren't like, amazing or anything. Give me a Wylder, and a Guardian, please. I'm tired of having to babysit Revenant, Recluse, Ironeye, Scholar, and surprisingly Undertaker because for whatever they die constantly. And it's not that the warrior class characters are necessarily better... People just tend to play them better. A good Recluse is worth five Wylders. But you'll get one good one in like... 100.

If you're going to name yourself sorcerer Duchess...
Screenshot-20251217-121408-Gallery

Maybe learn how to build an actual magic build.
Screenshot-20251217-121426-Gallery

Cause this is pathetic xD
Aside from the obvious second relic slot being bizarrely completely empty...
Putting everything into FP, and nothing into magic attack power. People complain Duchess runs out of FP too quickly. I disagree. If you build correctly, and take the right passives in round you definitely don't have to waste an entire relic slot on shards. My magic build is constantly changing because I'm always testing out what's worth using. I like HP xD I like survivability. Everyone dies, even with higher HP, it happens. But dying constantly is annoying, it gets your team killed trying to save you, it makes you a liability. So I'm constantly trying to balance between magic attack, and my health. That's pretty much how I build for anything, magic, holy, fire, etc. But... if you're exclusively going to build for magic, give yourself some fucking magic attack power xD Duchess does decent magic attack at base, but... she can do better with better relics. The second slot being empty is just completely puzzling cause you could put anything in there. The jar merchant even sells a god tier relic that gives magic attack up + max fp increased for rises + max fp increased with 3+ staves equipped. So like... learn to play caster Duchess maybe. I didn't actually see them play, they pinged a fortress then left while I was running to the top of it. Probably assumed I was going to yoink the staffs up there. Not unless there was a really good fire spell on one, then no, wasn't interested. That's one thing that annoys me about other people playing casters... They will completely abandon the team, and spend half a day going across the fucking map to get to a staff drop. And it makes me laugh when they do come back, and all they're packing is Frozen Armament, and Glintstone Pebble. Sure, I'll hit a rise if it's close by... But I'm not leaving my team alone for several minutes. That's selfish. Trust me, I get it, getting your hands on a good staff is pure dopamine, and Duchess doesn't get staffs easy, they're not a high drop in our reward pool. That's why you need to focus equally on getting a decent melee so at least you have something. I've had plenty of rounds where I built around magic, never found a staff so had to lean hard into melee, still made it work. If you're going to quit out because you didn't get what you wanted... you shouldn't be playing. Cause in my experience, the game often fucks you on purpose. When I'm magic focused, no staff, when I switch to melee focus, game gives me every staff in the world, when I'm looking for fire it gives me ice, when I'm looking for anything but fire, here's the Frenzied Flame, enjoy xD It's nice when the game lines up with your build, but more often than not you're forced to adapt which is why HP is always a sure thing. No matter what, I have survivability, that's the most important thing.

My natural reaction to seeing the BBK next to the evergaol Scholar pinged...
ezgif-374e34729eb1393f

Fuuuuck that xD
Two seconds later Scholar gets there, sees it, pings a different evergaol nearby. Cool, we're not being stupid. Except... Undertaker then gets there, and, "Pingpingpingpingpingpingpingping."
Now look... BBK is not impossible to kill at level 7. If your team is very solid, and you have decent equipment. They're especially weak to magic. But hey, as usual, I didn't have a staff, we were only mid day 1. And I'd rather not fight something that can kill you in one hit because what's going to happen is it's going to kill YOU in one hit, and then I'm going to die trying to save you, and you're going to leave after I fail to revive you because you decided to poke the thing that can kill you in one hit. I try to avoid this entire situation by simply running away. But oh no, Undertaker thinks they got big balls, and Scholar turns around to help them, and also, "Pingpingpingpingpingpingping."
Nah. You can guess what happened. This is not the team to beat ED Libra. These are the types of people whining on Reddit they don't understand why they can't beat ED Libra. Give you a fat hint, idiots. You get the death you deserve.
Meanwhile, in another round...
19b27ad075961-screenshot-Url

I get a fucking god staff. A real thing of beauty. Perfect for fighting the Valkyries, one moon takes out half a health bar of the lesser ones, and can hit multiple at once. Like knocking down bowling pins. But I'm forced to leave this game because fuck that Wylder. Beginning of day 2 he pings a sleep ruin. Supposedly the Valkyries are weak to sleep, if you put a lesser to sleep, they'll sleep the whole round unless hit. Never seen this put into practice, magic and bleed just work better for me. But Undertaker rubs right past the ruin, heads for city. Smart. I should've just followed them. But I didn't want to abandon the Wylder. Sleep ruins have bears, real big bears, and they're sleeping in there... until you wake them up. There are two bears specifically that drop rewards. I get into the ruin first, go straight for the main bear, deliberately avoiding waking up the second one. But then here comes the idiot Wylder running over to me, fighting the main bear, with the second bear aggroer onto him because he stupidly ran past it,vwoke it up, and dragged it over to me. We kill the maim bear, and at this point the second bear has switched aggro, is attacking me, and while I'm fighting it off the idiot Wylder grabs his reward, pauses, looks at me fighting for my life, and runs away. It would've taken ten seconds to kill this thing together had he helped me, and sure, I could have also simply ran away... But ya know, whenever I see a teammate getting attacked, I jump to help them whether it's an easy enemy or a giant fucking bear, I don't run away like a bitch. You run away in round like a bitch, imma run away from the entire round, and just leave. I've seen so many heroic Wylder mains who will throw themselves into danger for you... This asshole ain't it, he needs to switch to Ironeye.

The game was shocked I didn't choose the Frenzied Flame...
19b23b6b62358-screenshot-Url

You're gonna take the fucking Frenzied Flame xD
It's real cool when you're doing a 7 boss, boss fight, and both your teammates take Less Likely to be Targeted.
Polish-20251214-232400445

So I'm taking like 100% of the aggro from all seven, and these two idiots are dying from splash damage so they're spending the entire fight reviving each other because as soon as one gets the other up, the other goes down just from, I dunno, one of the Valkyries looking at them I guess. Somehow, I manage to fight off 7 fucking Valkyries pretty much entirely on my own without dying.
It was pretty awesome, not gonna lie. The best part, I had my caster build on, didn't get a single staff drop the entire game. So I'm fighting off this squad mostly with the crystal dart on my magic dagger xD It did good fucking work. You really want a little bit of range against them when possible so magic works really well... assuming you get a staff.
Fuck those assholes though. The Scholar I can understand, they sucked the entire round, it's one of the squishier characters. But the fucking Undertaker hiding behind less aggro. Pussyyyyyy. You're an A in Strength, a B in HP, and you hiding. What an absolute pathetic baby loser. Actually looking at it though... Scholar also scales B in HP. But ya'll neee C scaled team Duchess fully carrying your ass. Cool, cool. I'm not mad xD I'm not gonna block you fuckers. But better hope you don't get matched with me again🖤

Which do you think I chose? Going up against Libra, about to hit the Golden weapon crater reward. Which do you think I chose to go gold?
19b1f57fe9546-screenshot-Url

Yeah xD
The Frenzied Flame is THE weapon to melt Libra. But. Rivers is also really good against him. And I already had the Carian Regal Scepter so...
19b1f5840228-screenshot-Url

Also, the seal had Less Likely on it, and I'd been leader all round, and I feel like... if you're going to lead you shouldn't put all the aggro on your team. Not that I chose to lead, it was just one of those rounds where no one was pinging so my teammates just decided to follow me for some reason. Which was wise because I got us to level 15 easy. I'm decent with pathing, but there's also luck to it because sometimes early game you get hit with nothing, but the harder bosses, and nothing lower level appropriate to get easy XP. The first day you wanna hit as many as possible easy field bosses, POIs, and castle if available. You can save castle for day 2 of it's a basic map with no shifting earth, but if you've got a shifting earth, that's priority for day 2. That's where a lot of people make their mistake as team lead, fucking around with too much bullshit day 2 instead of going for the sure thing immediately. Taking half day 2 fighting the dragon outside of city for one reward when you could get several easy, better rewards inside of city. Drives me fucking crazy. In city you've got Death Knight, Black Knife Assassin, chest, Death Knight 2, Royal Revenant, Death Knight 3, Astel, BKA 2, Headless Troll, Dragonkin Soldier. You can do ALL of these plus Loretta if you're really good, if you go to city immediately day 2. But so many people wanna fuck around with that single dragon that floats around the cliffs, and eats your time... I just don't get it. When someone pings that fucking dragon I just wanna leave cause I already know how this is gonna end. This right here.
19b1f689c2355-screenshot-Url

This is a person who gets it xD This was a beautiful round. Another Libra fight, Recluse got the Frenzied Flame, duped it in city for me. Raider pings Loretta as the rain is closing in, we get there, and he realizes it's not worth fighting her in the rain, doesn't even try, leads us to the circle. Thank you... for not being stupid xD Cause if you're gonna have a name like that you better have some fucking common sense.

I'm just curious... who fucking asked for this xD
19b19bf18ba61-screenshot-Url

Look, I like the first game, I played through it twice, it's not terrible. But... no body else seemed to like it. It's kinda like anime Dark Souls, only Souls fans tend to trash it pretty hard. So who's the fanbase exactly, and who the fuck is paying $100 for it? Even having played through it twice I could not tell you what the game is about xD And it's a lot less obscure than a Souls games, annoyingly so actually with the constant memory bullshit. Still, no fucking idea what the lore is. But... it's highly customizable with Soulslike combat, and cute anime guys helping you fight.
2019-12-16-23-56-41

So... it's pretty alright~
Obviously I don't like it as much as any Souls game. There are few things I like as much... Uh, Batman. And... that's pretty much it.

There's just no excuse for this level of stupid. I'm starting to really dislike playing with Undertakers because these D Intelligence morons have taken to rushing staff drops, and hoarding powerful spells from the A INTELLIGENCE CHARACTER.
I don't get it. Do you not like winning? Or are you just that fucking dumb and worthless? Undertaker scales A in Faith meaning they're superior for incantations. Sometimes I think people just don't understand basic scaling mechanics. There are sorceries which scale in Intelligence, and incantations which scale in Faith. Sorceries come on a staff, incantations come on a seal. It's really not that hard. Duchess is A in Int, B in Faith so she actually very competently casts both unlike Undertaker who fucking sucks at sorceries, but I'm seeing more, and more of them run straight for staffs. We are not equal, stay in your fucking lane, dumbass.
And far be it from me to tell anyone how to play... But it pisses me off when it's literally the first place we clear so I could've used one of the best spells in game the whole round, but no, the team idiot grabbed it. And I'm just now realizing the D scaling Faith Ironeye has ALL THE SEALS xD This your first time in Nightreign, guys? Seriously, fucking amateurs trying to go up against ED Sentient with this bullshit, ya'll are stupid as shit.

Got my first solo win vs Libra~
ezgif-3b52361208e314ef

Because yeah, yeah, my team left me... I dunno, maybe some people just need the safety net of two other people. Maybe I should just be playing solo. The game always takes care of me when I'm solo.
Polish-20251211-001845525

It always gives me the best shit after people leave. The shitty thing about people leaving is... if you start the round solo, you innately get a free boss revive. So if you die during a night/final boss you get another try. You don't get that in multi-player even if your team leaves you. You're just fucked if you die. Not that you should need the revive, but it kinda sucks knowing you get one try, and no one is there to save you because people fucking suck. I suspect the Recluse, because of course it was a Recluse, saw the awesome staff I was carrying, and left because I didn't immediately hand it to them despite my build being entirely around magic. And then after they left the other person also immediately left after I ran out of crater just to help them as they stupidly chose to fight a boss instead of go down into crater. So... honestly not a big loss either way, they were both pretty shitty teammates.
There are people who think solo needs to be easier... I would argue it's probably too easy. Things die so quickly with just one person vs three xD I blocked 13 people today alone, most leavers. And there are people who will say, "If people keep leaving you maybe you're the problem." Nah. I'm spectacular. Everyone else is an idiot.
Had a really horrible Scholar teammate. We were with a Revenant, and no body was pinging so day one we seperate. I take off, do a couple fortresses, some field bosses, they manage to tackle a field boss together at some point. Day 2 me, and Revenant group up, and hit city while Scholar goes to the other side of the map doing fuck all while we clear city, Astel included. Of course, Scholar comes trailing behind to vacuum up the rewards from all the bosses we killed. Me, and Rev are fighting the last city boss, the Dragonkin Soldier, rain coming in hot, and this asshole runs right past us, doesn't even try to help. We killed it, but boy, that pissed me off, he does absolutely nothing, pretty much the hardest fucking carry, doesn't even try to help. But it gets better. Night two boss, he just stands there. I dunno if he was afk, if his mom was yelling at him or what the fuck, but at that point, leave. You're better off leaving because now I'm pissed, and I'm not going to be helping you. Hope you don't die, cause I'm leaving your ass on the ground. Why are you even playing trio instead of solo? If you don't wanna play WITH people. Ah, but you probably can't do solo, that's why you're here, getting carried. And I don't mind having to carry, I actually enjoy it, but... not for people who fucking suck, who are bad teammates. So this idiot then actually shows up at the final boss door, and I'm eagerly awaiting him to die just so I can run right past him xD But then... he dies, and I revive him. Because I'm not an asshole. And it's not that deep. And it's not like he'd learn anything anyway. People who suck, suck for a reason, and usually have no self-awareness especially in gaming. Me, and Rev carried, and we won despite him being a major obstacle.

Magic is OP against the Valkyries. If you can get either moons or rancor spells, it wrecks them. The good thing is, it seems like most of the normal Recluse mains have switched to the new characters which gives me room to easily play caster Duchess. But then it also seems like when I do get teamed with a Recluse we get absolutely wrecked as usual, and guess who's the first to leave when they die? This is the main reason I dislike playing the new map, I almost always end up alone after my idiot teammates stupidly die. And they always make the same mistake. On the new map there's a castle that's great for grinding. The problem is that when you're in it, it halves your health unless you do the world event which involves going around the map breaking stalker crystals to break open a large crystal in the middle. But no body ever wants to fucking do it, they rush straight to the castle, die immediately and leave. Why are you even playing if this is your continuous plan? Why did you buy the dlc at all if dying once sends you running like a little bitch? You absolutely do not belong in a Souls game if you can't handle dying, and so many fucking people can not handle it. Most people, in fact. The number of people I finish a round with vs the number I end up blocking is crazy. This is my block list.
20251210-125802

Maybe two of them came from Fallout 76. The rest are idiots, and mostly leavers from Nightreign. This many people, and MORE purchased a game designed to kill you, then act like pussy babies when it kills you then bought the dlc, and continued to be completely ego crushed when it still kills them. I'm sorry you're so bad, and your dick is so tiny, maybe take it back to Roblox, bud.
It's like all the people crying, "Artorias must be bugged, too hard, plz nerf." No... no, he's supposed to be that hard. It's fucking Artorias you worthless idiots. Did you fight Artorias? Did you play Dark Souls at all? I bet you didn't. Your shiny, shiny Nightreign platinum means absolute shit when you're the three bar 30 seconds into ED Gladius. That shit makes me want to leave. Oh, but you held onto that Carian Regal Scepter, Ms. D Intelligence xD Fuck off.

The classic my team abandoned me, but the game took care of me...
19afa41972a90-screenshot-Url

I accept~
I feel like they've bumped the numbers up on Grafted because I've gotten it like 5 times in the past couple days. It's usually a really rare drop. Then again, I've been running city a lot, and you're likely to get a lot of gold drops in city. Solo city is so easy, especially Astel. And solo Gladius with Sacred Blade...
ezgif-5644538ed7b08d49

This is why I need to get my weapon upgraded. On my holy build I have it set to where my dagger starts with Sacred Blade which is incredibly powerful against anything undead or weak to holy like the wolves here. So if I run off to grab a stone... let me do my thing. You don't have to help me, I'll be two minutes at most. That's one thing that annoys me more than anything, people who push their objectives on you with zero regard for what you want or need for your character. So I paid for this game same as you, Imma do what I need to, and if you run into city without me, and immediately die, that's on you. That's what happened with one of my teammates this round, Raider rushed into city while I was grabbing something, dies, leaves. If you're gonna die that easy, cool, I'm better off on my own. I don't particularly understand leaving when we're level 8-9, and can easily get your shir back, but whatever, I didn't need you, bud, I definitely don't need someone who can't survive five steps away from me, I ain't your fucking momma.
So good first round xD

I need a break from the stupid cause it is running rampant today. If you bought the DLC... my assumption would be that you played the game enough to know you enjoyed it, and want more. So why, if you've played the base game, are you playing like total ass? Like it's your first time. Rookie mistakes.
Choosing to fight an Ulcerated Tree Spirit or Erdtree Avatar at level 5 end of day 1.
Going to fortresses, and completely ignoring their bosses.
Fucking spam pinging city when I've split off to get a fucking stone to upgrade my fucking weapon you fucking idiot. Hey... hey, guess what? It's going to be a detriment to the entire team if I go into Astel with a basic dagger instead of a +2 dagger because I couldn't get my stone because whiney baby bitch needs me RIGHT THERE beside you. If you can't take care of yourself for the two minutes it takes me to run my little detour, seriously, stop playing. No body wants to get to Astel faster than I do, I need my motherfucking weapon upgrade first you raging moron.
And then of course choosing to fight a Magma Wyrm instead of going straight for the frost dragon, then trying to fight the frost dragon in the rain.
I had a round with a Guardian and a Revenant. The Revenant pinged a flask across the map, and on the way there the Guardian, for whatever reason, stops to fight a fucking Magma Wyrm while the Revenant, desperate to reach a flask, hops a bird, and dies mid-flight in the rain it takes her into. And we're only level 5.
And the CONSTANT DYING. All the time, over and fucking over, people are just dying. My best guess is because they're testing out the new characters. Take your ass back to base game if you need to figure our your character, going into harder fights is not the time.
I left all of these games. Please, FromSoftware, put me in leaver timeout, I don't wanna play with these idiots anymore xD If you're showing to me you're dead constantly within the first day, you're not gonna survive the Valkyries. One person like this, annoying, but ok. Both my teammates like this... I just don't want to keep going. It's not even about winning or losing, it's feeling like I'm playing with people who genuinely aren't trying. I had one really good round with an excellent Undertaker, and even then the Recluse was a hard carry, spent most of the fight dead. It gives me literal fatigue xD

Excuse me...

I said I want to get WRECKED, not have fun xD
I'm already at the point where I can beat Valkyrie squad consistently. From testing out bleed, lightning, and frostbite, they all seem equally effective against them. I've heard they might be weak to fire, but haven't had a fire weapon in round yet to try. But I don't particularly think it matters. The important thing is, consistent damage to the lead Valkyrie, Harmonia. The other six will still be attacking you, but they're attacks are fairly easy to dodge, and they only have a couple so as long as you're aware who's around you, it's not difficult to attack the lead bitch herself. Her attacks are much bigger, but again, pretty easy to dodge, easy to memorize. Damage negation should be a priority. Honestly, they don't hit that hard, but taking even less damage just makes things easier. I actually enjoy this fight, and it's much, much easier to pick up on than ED Gladius or Libra. It also helps if you don't run the new map. I've been running city against them just because having the Astel revive makes me feel a little more relaxed while I learn the fight, and it's a lot easier to get levels, and equipment in a map I already know by heart. Well, mostly. They have added some new stuff to the base map, some larger POIs which take longer to get through especially when you're not sure where you're going xD But still, easier to navigate than the whole-ass other map which is considered a shifting earth like crater/city/mountaintop/forest. But those things are areas integrated into base map. So it's just a lot for taking on new bosses, and the real big boy is after the Valkyries. The Dreglord. Only fought him once, he is a full two phaser, and his second phase is... The first is bad, it takes a lot just to get through that, but then he gets up again, and it's worse, and he inflicts scarlet rot, and bleed so you're fucked. But again, things always seem impossible before you learn them. Artorias can show up as the night 2 boss so I'm excited to fight him, see how tough he is. I'm trying to remember who we fought in our round... People are complaining about the lack of Dark Souls 2 content in game. But... a lot of people very vocally hated/hate Dark Souls 2 so I don't blame them for not wanting to touch it.

Valkyries down~
ezgif-39346b1f390a282f

Three flasks left, Astel revive burning in my back pocket, didn't fucking need it. I didn't even realize Ironeye had died off in the distance, I was so hyper-focused on taking the lead bitch down myself xD I was a little worried when she started building up her attack... But nah, totally had it under control.
And the reward is huge.
19aefced0b063-screenshot-Url

If you're a non-Recluse caster... FP = Mana. Recluse is the only character who innately can restore their FP so other casters have to rely on consumables, and passive for FP restoration if they want to use spells at all. And about 99% of Recluse players still race you to said consumables, and greedily take them all despite not needing them... Another reason I don't enjoy playing caster Duchess as much, too many greedy fucking people. The really good Recluse mains will drop me spare staffs, and share shards with me. But those are extremely rare, like 1 in 100 Recluse games. They also made some of the depths relic passives available on base game relics such as the passive that makes it to where you, as any character, are more likely to find staffs. So being a caster might become viable again as Duchess especially since I haven't seen anyone playing the new characters as casters. Which is interesting because Undertaker does have A scaling in Faith so she's built for incantations. But she's also A in strength, and everyone seems to prefer smashing things over casting. She's basically the best of Revenant, and Raider, kinda makes both of their characters a bit insignificant.

So... the Nightreign DLC is fucking overwhelming xD It's a whole new map. And I personally am not a fan, I'd rather they had made an addition to the current map. It's like expeditions in 76, leaving the main area just kinda takes me out of it mentally. And the new map is A LOT. I played a solo round to kinda get my bearings before going into multi-player, I hate being caught off-guard. But even then... there's so much. I guess the good news is that people leave regularly enough that you end up solo half the time anyway. Which is really stupid, in my opinion... Ok, so we're all new at this, it doesn't look good, we're probably not gonna win. So let's explore, and figure this place out if the run us busted anyway. That's my method. But no, when things look bad, idiots leave, so they'll probably spend a long, long time not knowing what they're doing. I hate being the carry who doesn't know where they're going. But even more than that I hate not knowing where I'm going, and everyone looking to me to lead. But we can't just stand there, we have to move. So needless to say I've plunged into many death pits today xD Because it's not like the main map where you can only fall off the edge, no, there are many pitfalls, and if you're mindlessly running, and jumping you will die. But hey, we're learning.
Only got to the final boss one time out of several tries. This is wholly because the night 2 boss is Mohg, and he's a real asshole. Easy to beat in Elden Ring, massive pain in the ass in Nightreign. Libra can be incredibly helpful here because every time I spoke with him, he offered me the cure to Mohg's big blood curse AOE for only 2000 Runes. But... I'm the only one who ever took it. He did seem to spawn pretty close to where we spawned in every time, probably intentional.
The final boss... Is a multi-boss.

Initially I thought they belonged to Guardian's bird species. But no... They're Valkyries. Here to balance the world. How very libra.
Starts with several Cleanrot Knight type ladies, and eventually a Malenia sort spawns in. You can knock down the smaller ones, but they do eventually get back up so you have to keep killing them while damaging the main one who has some super devastating attacks. Apparently her weakness is sleep... Which seems hard to build into, and after trying sleep on them myself to no avail, I'm not convinced. This is where Scholar comes in with the S scaling in Arcane. The higher your Arcane, the better you are at inflicting status ailments.

I thought he was going to be another caster. He is not. He is middling in Intelligence and Faith. Of course, no body plays him. I got teamed with one in all my rounds, but many, many, many Undertakers. So I don't even know how he works. I haven't watched any Undertakers go for casting either which is fine by me, I might lean back into caster Duchess for the DLC. I was doing decent magic damage vs the final boss. But... I was also using the Sword of Night and Flame so. Like with any boss it's just a matter of time and experience. Once upon a time I couldn't even get past Sentient... Now I can solo ED Gladius like nothing. It's not just me, it's everyone getting experience so no one is weighing you down if you're on a team. It sucks being the first-timer who has no idea what's going on. I didn't have time to play yesterday so I'm feeling a bit behind which is crazy that there are already people within 24 hours claiming they're experts... I dunno, that level of no life just does interest me xD I love gaming. I don't want it to be the ONLY thing I enjoy in my life. I do feel kinda proud of myself though for soloing both the Gladius, and Caligo invasions. Although they're AWFULLY unbalanced. For Caligo you just have to find her in her snowstorm, and smack her a couple times, and she fucks off. For Gladius... He splits into his three wolf form across the map, and you have to find, and kill all three of him while taking constant fire damage, and literally being hounded by two smaller fire wolves who respawn even if you kill them. By some fluke I had my holy build equipped so I did decent damage to them. Probably the only reason I won. But his Invasion vs the Caligo Invasion... I'm thinking the devs just like Gladius better xD

Dragon taunting, and sexy dodging❤️
If I remember correctly... We got the Libra curse mid day 2. When you get cursed by Libra on day side, he takes half your health until you give him 35,000 Runes. And if you fail to pay him off before nightfall, he leaves, and you're stuck with half health the rest of the round. So I always run straight for him if he pops up, I will absolutely pay him to fuck off. The best part is that once you pay him off he gives everyone on your team a free deal, and there are several to choose from such as an extra flask, a powerful weapon, more Runes, etc. The one I always pick is Improved Physic which increases your HP, FP, and Stamina over the rest of the round. These two, and most people I've noticed, don't bother to go to Libra for their free deal if someone has already broken the curse. Extremely foolish. But to be fair he usually spawns in at an incredibly inconvenient time, and location day 2. Midday at the bottom of the map when you're getting up into Mountaintop or worse top map when you're in the middle of city. That's one of the few times I'll completely drop Astel, and immediately take off, I refuse to fight Astel or the final boss at half health because we didn't get to Libra in time. Alternatively, if your team is all there, you can fight Libra. He's not so bad if everyone is around level 10, he's only a fraction of his real fight. Beating him gives you a talisman instead of a deal, not as good in my opinion.
I ran into a familiar face yesterday. Mr, Dies20timesthenoffersmehelp. I didn't recognize him at first since he'd changed his player name, but he was excited to see me. He wasn't on Raider this time, he was Wylder, and I will say, MUCH better Wylder, don't think he died once. He messaged me after, and we hyped about the DLC a bit. He's really excited for Everdark Night Aspect. I am not... because most people don't know how to fight him, and he's hard to carry on since he has two full health bars, and hits very, very hard. I'm curious if he'll get a third health bar, fuck that xD He's really not that bad, he just requires a ton of dodging, and people suck at dodging so... Guardian actually does really well against him, some of my easiest fights have been duoed with Guardian against him. As long as he can stay alive, and hold his aggro, I can chip away at him. A lot of people tap out when they see someone pick Guardian in character selection. It's a bummer cause a good Guardian is great to play with. I stand with the flock.

Several hours since your, "Biggest 76 update ever," launches, and... no body can fucking get in. Because your servers are trash. Classic~

I finally played a bit of the Silent Hill 2 remake. And... I still prefer the original. Maybe I'm crazy, but I really miss the terrible voice acting xD I've played the original so much that it just doesn't sound right. I do think they utilize the music, and sound effects a bit more effectively in the remake. But then I also hate the combat. In the original it's really easy to run away from things which I feel is intentional to James' character. Am I only one who got that James killed Mary? Cause I've heard a lot of people saying she died of a horrible disease... That's definitely not how I took it. Yes, she had a horrible disease, but I was always under the impression he killed her. I'm pretty sure it literally shows him killing her. Why else would he be in Silent Hill? Sure, he also cheated on her, but I don't think that's enough to drag you to hell. But yeah, in the original it's super easy out in town to run away from shit which makes sense since James has been running away from what he did, he doesn't want to face it. Combat is a lot more forced in the remake, and I'm not a fan because killing shit with a pokey stick is annoying especially when your healing is extremely limited. Now... I know where to get the gun. I stopped playing when I got to the apartments. I know who's in there, but I don't know if he's where he should be safely behind the fence or if they've moved him. The handgun, the flashlight, all there... but I'm scared xD

This is where I've been this past week.
20251128-103718

But even still. Laying on the beach...

"What are you thinking about?"
Wondering which Everdarks are in rotation on Nightreign this week.
"...Seriously?"
Yeah, trying to figure out how to better optimize my holy build.
"..."

Hey xD If you care about me you should already know what's important to me. Serious Nightreign withdrawal~
