How bad at a game do you have to be to cheat this hard...
Screenshot-20251030-211145-Gallery

The entire slot 2 is effects you can only get on weapons, they never show up on relics. And I should have known... when we ran by the frost dragon on Mountaintop she stopped, and got it down half health in a couple hits. But it didn't occur to me until we were fighting Caligo, and again within a few hits she's dead, to look at this dirty bitch's relics. Yep, she's cheating. Big point down you worthless whore.

Like what the fuck are you celebrating? You didn't earn that. You didn't deserve it. You're shit at the game so you have to put yourself in god-mode. So impressive.
It especially pisses me off because I had such good equipment.

Hand of Malenia, and three fucking moon staffs. Normally I would have dropped one of them for the other Duchess, but... they gave me a weird vibe from the beginning. Should've checked their shit earlier, I would've just left. I don't see the point. You need an audience? For what? Anyone who knows their shit will look, and realize you're a fucking pathetic fraud in two seconds. I don't get it. They also had Less Likely To Be Targeted on top of everything xD Like... you must REALLY fucking suck. See, if I had known, I would've picked it up. It was on a staff that the team Wylder dropped beside me, and pinged so I'd see it, and when I saw it was Less Likely, I passed it up, but apparently the god-mode cheating asshole decided they needed it... because despite being on god-mode they're STILL worried about dying. Like... just don't play if you're that bad. Go play something else, something more your speed, something Sesame Street branded maybe. For fuck's sake. When you take the skill out of a skill-based game... what the actual fuck are you here for?

Is it time?

It might be time🖤
I know the original Silent Hill 2 by heart. Most importantly... I know everywhere Pyramid Head will be in the original xD So I'm nervous about him showing up elsewhere. I don't know why he's so scary because most of the other Silent Hill monsters don't make me feel any type of way. But Pyramid Head, and Bubble-head Nurses...😱
Maybe it's because I have frequent hallucinations so my mind tends to run wild at times, but when I first played SH2 way, way back I couldn't play it at night, I couldn't even have the disk in my PS2 at night, I was that scared of it xD And games have arguably gotten much scarier as time goes by, but nothing has ever made me feel the way SH2 has. I think it's that way for a lot of people.

So fuck this Wylder...
19a2e2c59b842-screenshot-Url

For not only abandoning me DURING the fight with Everdark Gaping Jaw after dying ONCE... But also for taking Rivers with him. Like, if you wanna ragequit whatthefuckever, but at least have the courtesy to drop MY sword you asshole. I don't care so much that he left since he was using a lightning sword against a highly lightning resistant boss... Like, sure, take your stupidity to another team. The Executor had left way earlier in the round after also dying once. The funny thing is, I also died at like level 2 to a crossbow guy. Guess what... I kept fucking going. These gigantic babies who tap out over nothing, it's just pretty much the usual now that I'm finishing by myself because I'm tired of restarting over dumbasses who suck at the game, and punish you for it by leaving because they couldn't keep themselves alive. I don't need you.

When you're flying in with this squad...

You know you're in for it.
ezgif-388319d6ea4c8a

Yep xD Basement BBH at level 8. Hey, I personally didn't die, that's the important part.
This was after I soloed Gladius because my team was pussy dumbfucks. We were level 6, mid day 1, and my teammates had branched off in separate directions, one in a mine, one in a fortress. So I figured, ok, I guess I'll do my own thing for a bit, and hit an encampment I was standing next to. Then I hear the Ironeye open an Evergaol. And just... stop opening/fighting things you can't handle. I know you wanna be that guy, but Ironeye, you're not that guy. He never pinged it though so I decided I'd finish what I was doing then go help him. The Recluse had made their way there, and I foolishly thought surely they can take care of each other. No. They both die, and then they leave. We were going against basic-ass Gladius, like... You don't need to be max level to win. I was only level 10 by the time I went up against him, and still won. Some people are just absolute bitches. The Recluse had already been pissing me off so I didn't miss them. Like most Recluse players they felt the need to run past everything to grab every fucking staff or seal anywhere we went. Good Recluse mains share. They'll find a staff or two with a spell they prefer, and hand off anything else to the team Duchess. Unfortunately, most are tge grabby hoarding type which they justify by saying Duchess mains are the ones who rush staff drops. You can't blame Duchess, we get far fewer staff drops in our loot pool so most rounds we're entirely reliant on world drops to use magic at all. That's why I stopped building for caster Duchess, tired of fighting for staffs between Recluse, Revenant, and other Duchess mains. And then when you do finally find a good staff you get shamed for not handing it over. I'm just over it.

While I was on a long flight recently, I got to watching a plathrough of Silent Hill f...

Because I figured, much as I love Silent Hill, I'm probably not going to play this. And my instincts were right... Maybe it's just me, but I just don't feel Silent Hill in this game. It's a great game, at least... I dunno, it was good until the Bloodborne beast arm came into play at which point I'm like ok, kinda goofy, kinda too on the nose. Cause that's the thing that makes Silent Hill what it is, the obscurity, and ambiguity, and giving the main character a literal monster arm she uses ro bash enemy faces in, it just doesn't hit right for me personally, they've lost all subtlety. I want to barely competently hit things with a pipe, not destroy it with fox magic, and running around doing it in what I would call this game's Otherworld... There's no horror in that. I get it, not everything can be Silent Hill 2. But this game just doesn't feel like Silent Hill at all. Like it could've been it's own thing, but they tacked Silent Hill onto it because... popular branding will obviously sell better. If I played this game without knowing it was in the Silent Hill universe I don't think my mind would connect the two. It's not dark enough, not bizarre enough, it has entirely too much combat, and the whole story is way too fucking obvious. Fox guy shows up to save her when she doesn't need saving, and she goes through all these extreme rituals to make herself more foxlike, more appealing for him, essentially changing herself entirely, and leaving her childhood behind to be with him because... that's what's expected of her. She's giving up everything, ripping herself apart for this fucking fox guy, and he's giving up nothing. It's all very Mulan if Mulan had stayed home, and bowed to social expectations. Moral of the story is never trust a fox, wolf or any other canine. I guess that's the moral of most fairytales, don't be surprised you trusted the big, bad wolf, and he then ripped your throat out. It's extremely heavy-handed, and that's just not really in the spirit of Silent Hill. And the goofy combat really takes me out of it. Reminds me of Slitterhead which also isn't a terrible game, but it doesn't do justice to survival horror, in my opinion. I kept expecting it to connect in some far-off, obscure way to original Silent Hill, like golden opportunity with the pills, and the Cult vibes.

One thing that's pissing off some of the elder members of the 76 community... the addition of the Glowing Skeleton costume in the Spooky Scorched drops. It was the big Halloween reward years ago so not many people had it, now everyone has it. Me personally, I'm glad they're giving out older stuff you don't hardly see anymore. I don't like gatekeeping especially when it's something you literally don't have access to or have to spend an eternity grinding out. I only have a couple hours a day free usually to fuck around in gaming, and I have to split my time between 76, and Nightreign which is why I've barely been on 76 since Nightreign came out, I'd generally just rather spend my time on it. I don't have 12 hours a day to endlessly hunt for that stupid dress so when Bethesda says they're going to make rare apparel more available, I'm all for it, and the people crying are trade scammers anyway who do spend countless hours hunting down these in-game items to sell for actual money. Sorry, but I'm not paying $65 for a digital dress, it's not that important to me. I'll also be giving away these costumes regularly in my vendor, making them worth even less so the scalpers can go fuck themselves❤️

Still got half the season to unlock my full pink kitchen in 76💗
19a0f86b4a782-screenshot-Url

The Halloween events are pulling me back in. They actually have some new plans to find during Spooky Scorched so I don't mind grinding them out. Sadly though, there's no big Halloween reward this year... Granted last year it was that hideous dress, but still. I'm curious to see if the holiday Scorched will be working this year. I was in the hospital a good portion of last year's holiday events, but apparently I didn't miss much because they were busted as shit, typical Bethesda, so we'll see if they manage to pull it outta their ass this season. The Halloween events have been running well so maybe. There's supposed to be a huge update coming in December... I dunno, usually their huge updates don't do much for me. Like the whole ghoul thing. It's cool if you want to be a ghoul, but I don't so it has no effect on me. There's also DLC incoming for Nightreign. If we go by FromSoftware's history, we won't be seeing that til next Spring. Maybe some people get bored with it, but I find it pretty endlessly replayable as it is.

The Triple Rings really tear through those puppies~
I could've used my invisibility to revive my team... but I'd already revived them several times so I went for the kill. Here's how I'd say you can determine good players: Are you standing by the end of most final fights or not? It would be gut-wrenching to me to be downed, and watch my team win without me. Fortunately since I consistently carry, especially vs ED Gladius, this never happens to me. It's generally the case that if I'm down, we lose. I had the worst round against Night Aspect after this with players who were obviously... inexperienced. I say this because they were following me xD Not that you shouldn't follow me, but usually when people are more seasoned someone takes obvious lead, and starts pinging. Like I've said, I'm not a pinger, so if no one takes lead I just go, and whoever wants to follow can follow. The real tell came when we went into city. City can be very overwhelming if you don't know where you're going. I know how to get to Astel, and every field boss in-between from either side so I just take off running straight through not thinking anything of it until I get half-way in, and realize my team is scrambling around like chickens trying to figure out where I went because they'd been following me the whole time, but didn't see the spirit spring I jumped up in. Long story short, we barely beat Astel then I died trying to save them after they fucked around in the rain too long on the way out of city. We were still level 13 by Night Aspect, but... they got completely demolished by his first stage. Probably their first time fighting him, and I had absolute zero useful equipment so we didn't even get his second phase to half health before I just kinda gave up. Some teams you know aren't going to make it, they're just not good enough. The problem is that you only have to beat four other Night Lords to fight Night Aspect, and he's a considerable step up in difficulty compared to the others so if you hop onto him after only a handful of rounds you're in for pain because you're just not experienced enough for him yet, he requires so much dodging. That's why there are so many shitty players in lower levels of the depths, people try to jump in there when they haven't even beaten the game yet. I don't see the point in immediately jumping into a game's hard mode, but that's just me.

When your team abandons you...

But the game's got your back❤️
Feels fucking good.
ezgif-54fdfec555547d

After this round I went into another against ED Gladius, and found a super early staff with Ranni's Dark Moon as the main spell. Huge score for any caster. Of course... the team Recluse immediately noticed me using it so from then on every time we stopped they'd get right in front of me, facing me. Probably to remind me theu existed on the team. Which is cool, and all, but no fucking way are you getting my staff. I'm tired of Duchess being treated like a third-rate caster just because her Intelligence is scaled A instead of S. One tier, big fucking deal. Duchess actually does better damage with magic than with melee since she's scaled B in Dexterity. But Marika forbid we should dare to keep a decent staff for ourselves with a Recluse on the team. And the thing is, staffs are the main thing that drops for Recluse in their reward pool so they don't have to try hard to get a good one. I knew since we were going through city that it was super likely they'd get dropped the Carian Regal Scepter, and sure enough not only them, but also the Ironeye on team got dropped one. But I didn't awkwardly go stand in front of him like he owed it to me. Now the CRS always has Rennala's Moon on it. The only major difference between Rennala's, and Ranni's moon spells is Ranni's does additional frost damage. So which is better really depends on who you're fighting. Ranni's is great against Gladius, not as effective vs Caligo. I don't think I saw Ironeye use the CRS a single time, but hey, his loot, not my business. Some people think the ability to ping another person's equipment should be added to the game... because yeah, that's exactly what I want, something throwing a ping tantrum in my ear demanding my shit. That would be super cool🙄

I'm never dropping Rivers of Blood to another Executor again. I don't fucking care if katanas are their preferred weapon, every time I try to be a good team member, and drop it to them it bites me in the ass. I'm teamed with a Raider, and an Executor. I get RoB early, at like level 3 so I slide it over to the Executor. He proceeds to not use it the entire round, and then he, and Raider both go down about 20 times against ED Gladius. Gee, here I am playing dedicated fucking reviver as usual, wouldn't it be great if I had a weapon that's really good at reviving like RoB...
Never again. I don't care anymore, I find it, I'm keeping it because Executor mains are notoriously terrible anyway so even if you hand them a god sword, they don't survive long enough to use it, and I've never seen a single one use it to revive anyone. That's always the internal conflict for me when I find a weapon I like, that I'm good with, that another character on my team is technically capable of being more powerful with, but... can they survive long enough to use it effectively? Most of the time, the answer is no. The best thing to do is keep shit for myself. But my good nature wants me to be a better team player. It's the same thing with taking lead in pathing. When no body is pinging, I just go, I just run for whatever is closest. I don't ping because I don't want people to think they have to follow me. If you want to, great, if not, I'll see you at the end of the day. But I've noticed that when I take lead, and everyone is following me, I can consistently get us to max level. So I'm good at leading, I should feel comfortable doing it. But I don't like being pushy. That's part of the reason I don't ping because if someone wants to stop somewhere, I'm open to that. You wanna get a stone or hit an evergaol, I'll help you. You wanna go left instead of right in city, cool, I'll meet you at Astel. Honestly, the team split in city is good because then you can clear every field boss on both sides. I can handle one side on my own if my idiot teammates can stick together, and keep each other alive. There are only two field bosses on the left so if they can handle that, I'll handle the four on the right, we'll get all the rewards, more XP, and meet with enough time to take down Astel. But it's hard to communicate this with... almost no communication. People have this notion that Duchess is a squishy, fragile character who needs to be protected. Yeah, me, not so much, I'm fine on my own. But again, I can't really communicate that. I find myself in Fallout now, when I'm in danger in particular, trying to use my Nightreign invisibility xD And being like, oh yeah, doesn't work here...

Ya know... I didn't leave because of this bullshit. And it is an extremely shitty thing to do. One person taking Less Likely To Be Targeted, especially a caster, fine, I get it. But when two people take it, it completely screws over the third who then is forced to take on the majority of the aggro. And since we were going up against Everdark Gladius, I was fine with that, I know him well.
But.
What set me off was the Recluse gets dropped the Carian Regal Scepter, highest level staff in the game. We immediately go over to the duplicator, and I'm thinking this Recluse will definitely dupe the staff, and drop it for the other Duchess who had been going out of her way to find a decent staff all game. And then I thought maybe other Duchess might dupe, and drop for me. Three magical bitches with Rennala's Moon, it would've been an incredibly easy win. But no. Recluse selfishly duplicates something for herself. It just rubbed me fucking wrong, I had to leave, I can't help someone who's that bad of a teammate. That, and the fact that they had decided I was going to be their meatshield. Sucks for them because I had a seal with Triple fucking Rings, possibly the most powerful holy spell in game, especially against fire wolfy who is weak to holy. Not that I would've gotten the chance to cast it since I would've been running my ass off the entire fight anyway. Some people just suck.

I won't block people because they're bad.

I won't block people because they're bad.
💀
Almost fucking had him too. Here's the main issue I encounter... If both my teammates are down I need them to crawl together so I can revive them both at the same time. Otherwise, my invisibility only lasts long enough for one. So what happens 99% of the time when I revive one is that one, who has already displayed that they themselves have trouble staying alive, tries to revive our other teammate which then almost always leads to them also immediately down again. So I waste my ultimate for you to be stupid. You're not the hero, dude, you're not good enough, you're not that guy. And I'm not trying to be mean, but when I've already revived you 5 times, you're just not, and that's ok. I don't need you to revive our third. Give me two minutes for my invisibility to recharge, I will help them, trust. I need you to stay alive, and put some damage down on this fucker. You have Rivers of Blood... Go at him. Do something besides die, do any amount of damage before you die, for the love of Marika, help me fucking kill this thing.
No.
No, they refuse to lump up, and die trying to revive each other when I can only get one of them.
And the fatigue of fighting an almost 30 minute boss fight mostly on my own inevitably wears me down to where I'm missing dodges, and taking stupid damage, and then I die, and when I die it's all over. This is why so many people play solo. It's a good reflection of real life xD

It blows my fucking mind that people would choose to cheat at a game that's entire purpose is it being SKILL based, the dopamine rush comes from beating it with SKILL, and you completely remove any requirements of SKILL needed by cheating this fucking hard. Half of these effects don't show up on relics, they're exclusively on weapons. Maybe if it's your first round you wouldn't notice, but taking this shit into the depths... Yeah, it's kinda obvious you're cheating.
And then the icing on top is the fucking No Runes Lost on Death. So you're telling me... despite having all these relic buffs that give you massive physical attack power, you're STILL worried about dying xD You should he one-shotting almost anything with this, and you STILL can't manage to stay alive? Why not just go play something else? You don't belong here. It sure is mighty impressive watching you do 3,000 damage a hit until I check your relics, and realize, oh... oh no... oh, you suck real bad...
I did about 10,000 damage to Gaping yesterday in the span of 10 seconds. I did it legit without being hit. It can be done.
So I just don't get it.
It's like in 76. I'm actually enjoying 76 again since I started using inferior equipment. Because rolling through the game essentially as an unkillable goddess is so fucking boring. And even using equipment that isn't god-tier, I'm still not dying because I don't need it. You don't need to hide behind 700 damage resistance, and it's a lot more fun when you don't. Even if you die, it's a fucking game, who cares? Get the fuck back up, asshole, we're not done here, why are you leaving over ONE death? Fragile fucking egos, I swear.

Getting the most beautiful, perfect Meteorite of Astel off on Gaping Jaw...
ezgif-5ff7bc1b7fdf6d

As I went to cast Recluse simultaneously threw her ultimate which refills your mana so a spell that typically lasts a few seconds went on for like ten xD
Devastation🖤
Meteorite of Astel is probably one of my favorite spells, but it's a spell that takes care, and timing. You're locked into place after you cast so you're stuck aimed in whatever direction you're facing. You really have to pick your moment such as this moment where Gaping was hard staggered to the ground. Perfect opportunity to smite him.
I also had probably the quickest, and easiest Everdark Libra fight so far.
199e57a335b28-screenshot-Url

And I wholly believe it's because for the first time ever one of my teammates also had a Less Likely To Be Targeted passive. So for once I wasn't the only one doing damage to Libra himself while the other rwo run in circles away from the summons. Unfortunately our third teammate didn't have it so the summons chased the Revenant around xD But we got her back up every time, it was fine~

I never realized that Bayle simultaneously attacks you with fire AND lightning.
Most powerful ancient dragons only seem to be able to use one or the other at a time.
He uses both at the same time.
Fucking lava fire lightning.
He's the greatest dragon of all time.
I really want to see him in the Nightreign dlc. I don't think we will because he's too complicated to fight... The bosses they chose for Nightreign tend to be the simpler ones with easier movesets, in my opinion. But I'd love to see Bayle or Placidusax or even Lichdragon Fortissax. Fortissax also has a unique lightning, Death Lightning, which is one of my favorite incantations even though a lot of people claim it's useless. I'm curious now, based on the names, if Gransax, Fortissax and Lansseax are the children of Placidusax...We already know that Fortissax, and Lannsseax are siblings. Then you've got the Dragon Communion Priestess Florissax who had taken on "human" form.
ancient-dragon-florissax

So you've got a dragon turned human in her, and a human turned dragon in Bayle. I still don't quite understand... These Ancient Dragons originally took human form to teach humans Dragon Communion, aka dragon magic, but... a huge part of Dragon Communion is consuming the hearts of dragons. Like... why would dragons teach, and encourage humanity to hunt, kill, and eat them because it would give them these great powers, why would you ever teach humans about this xD When you find this dragon priestess she's standing beside the corpse of what is probably the largest dragon in game who was obviously ruthlessly hunted down, you find Dragon Communion spears all around it's body, and she doesn't seem the slightest but upset by it, she even tells you to go kill Bayle to get his power. I can understand wanting Bayle dead because he's been killing many other dragons himself, but you ancient dragon fuckers TAUGHT him that eating dragon hearts would make him crazy powerful, what the fuck did you expect? I don't get it. My oldest nephew has been playing Elden Ring, and he told me he has no idea what's going on. I had to take probably a 10 second pause... because I didn't even know where to start explaining the story to him xD I suppose it all starts with Marika, but then... you have to explain how Marika is also Radagon, and even trying to explain that little thing is too much to explain xD

Why do we do these things... Why, why, WHY are you so fucking stupid? WHY are we wasting half a day fighting one fucking dragon when we could take down at least three field bosses in that time within city? No, these fuck-ass teammates wanna do one fucking dragon THEN try for Astel with maybe 30 seconds to kill him by the time we get there. I ran in, slapped him in the face once, the rain started, I immediately ran out. But my idiot teammates kept fighting... You're not gonna win. Not with the rain on top of you. If we had all left immediately when I did we would've had time to kill the Dragonkin Soldier outside. Nope. I don't understand holding out fighting pointless battles, Astel is at 80% health with the rain coming in, run the fuck away, you ain't winning with your little Guardian poke, dude. All because you wanted to fight one fucking dragon. Stop fighting the dragon outside of city, it's a time trap. On top of that we were only level 10 by the end of day 2 which is where you should be by the start of day 2. We weren't winning against Night Aspect like that. Especially since dumbass Guardian died fighting Astel which put him at level 9. That's the point I left out of frustration, I hate leaving games, but when my team has displayed a tremendous amount of dumbassery through the entire round, I just don't want to keep going. I really wanted to quit when they pinged the dragon, at that point I knew the run was already over. Usually when my team makes a really bad choice I have no problem going off on my own. If I'm up to level 8-10 I can handle city, crater, forest, and mountaintop on my own. But I had zero confidence in their ability to survive without me. A lot of people will say you should stick with your team even if they're doing the wrong thing. I hate this mentality. Reinforcing someone's bad decision is not the right thing to do. And if you wanna leave because I didn't help you fight BBK at level 4, fucking blow, dude.

Buddy... you don't have to open that evergaol.
Here's the evergaol people seem magnetized to.
20251013-040528

Because they always, always, ALWAYS go for this one despite there ALWAYS being a field boss, and usually a pretty tough one, right beside it.
Meanwhile, a 10 second sprint away...
20251013-040551

With a couple usually easier field bosses close by. I just don't understand the drive to go to the first one. Had it happen today, Wylder runs straight for it, and immediately opens it despite the very obvious, very angry Black Blade Kindred right fucking there. Of course we all died, we were level fucking 4. I should've known in that moment that these idiots were not good enough to take on ED Libra... Big surprise they both abandoned me mid-fight after going down about ten times. Which also happened in the round before that one against Caligo.
199dc3ca0a250-screenshot-Url

Probably the worst Recluse I've ever played with. I think it was their first time playing her because they were utterly fucking useless. The Ironeye wasn't much better though, he left first. Not sure why, despite having a really shitty weapon, I was completely carrying, and did ultimately go on to win without them. Caligo is one of my favorite fights so I know their moves pretty well. The most dangerous attacks they have involve their frost so try to stay underneath her unless she rears up, then run away. All three rounds I did today were just awful players. I was in another Caligo round before that one, and the team Revenant, for whatever reason, refused to pick up any extra flasks. Her, and the Recluse were following me, I hit three churches for flasks, the Revenant never went into any of them then was an absolute dead-weight burden during the final fight. Maybe they were doing some bullshit challenge run, I don't fucking know, but that's something you should do with friends, not inflict your burden on randoms. And it especially pisses me off because she had the Frenzied Flame, and my favorite fire spell, and barely used either because she was CONSTANTLY DEAD. It's great, and all to have all the firepower in the world, does absolutely nothing if you're on the ground 90% of the fight. That's why when I found the Dragon Communion seal with Dragonfire on it, I did not give it to her because I knew I'd be alive long enough to use it effectively. I always regret it when I give someone a powerful piece of equipment that technically they would be more powerful using, but then they spend most of the fight dead so I would've been better off keeping it because lesser damage from me using it is better than no damage from the idiot who can't stay alive.

The one thing I really, really wanted from the Halloween events happening in 76 right now. Found someone selling it for 25,000, didn't even think twice. Sure, I might get it just from doing the event, but I might not. It's usually the case that when I really want something, Fallout refuses to let me have it. And ya know... I don't want to spend 12 hours a day grinding an event for one stupid plan. Rather just buy it, have it, be done with it. Besides, money is basically useless, I could get back up to max caps in a couple days, but why?
I do like the new backpack though. It's fucking creepy, ugly as hell, and goes nicely with my current outfit.
199d6adbe2182-screenshot-Url

I'm also rocking a bit of light pink armor.
199d6add7f34-screenshot-Url

I did run around a few days completely armorless, but then suddenly I was like, wait Aiyana... there are OTHER armor types, some that aren't as protective, but also don't completely cover your outfit. And I like the pink armor. Who fucking cares if it's not the best armor in game. If you need the best of everything in game to survive you're fucking BORING, and probably just bad~

Trying to remember... who the fuck this is xD
I'm pretty sure this was a double archer round. Being stuck with two Ironeyes can either be the greatest or worst thing to happen to you. Because they're fully capable of dishing out constant decent dps. But most of them wanna stand as far away as possible doing minimal chip damage because they have lower end HP. And even standing off, and away they still end up getting slammed. It's under constant debate who the best beginning friendly character is, and a lot of people will stand by Ironeye. I disagree especially if you want to play an effective beginner friendly character. Sure, you can play Ironeye mostly safely from a huge distance, but you'll basically be contributing nothing while also learning nothing. I say go Wylder, he's the most all-round balanced character, good base stats, good mobility, easy kit, and being a melee boy will teach you real quick how to dodge which is one of the most important mechanics of a Souls game, you gotta learn to dodge then you learn to block if you wanna go Guardian or parry to play Executor. Playing Wylder will help you gain the skill to main another character or be a really fantastic Wylder main, and I have seen some VERY spectacular Wylder mains. I've seen some great Ironeye mains as well, but I feel like he's harder to play well because if his lower HP. Me personally, I highly value my HP...
199cfd531ca84-screenshot-Url

Which is one reason I don't die xD I played with another Duchess recently whose end HP fully leveled at 15 was barely above 600... To put this in perspective, my starting HP at level 1 is 440 in this build, and usually about 1200 by 15. It is often times the case that I see other Duchess mains go super hard into magical power at the cost of their health... Go play Recluse. If you wanna be the glasscannon who stands in the sidelines blasting away hoping not to get hit you may as well do it with the more powerful magical character. And sure, I'll use magic on Duchess, but priority is finding a better melee weapon, staffs are a secondary concern, and I prefer to have spells that do maximum damage up close because I don't intend to stay away from the enemies. A decent staff can be incredibly helpful though. I ran a round yesterday against ED Libra with another Duchess, and an Ironeye. Obviously I thought there was no chance cause you've got two squishies... and me. And no Astel revive because I forgot to activate city before loading up. No city, no crater, no Rot forest, just basic castle map, and three... physically weaker of the characters. But. I found a staff with the spell Meteorite of Astel which summons multiple projectiles to rain down from the sky. Turned out to be pretty useful against Libra's summons being able to do damage across a wide area so it hits all of them. We actually ended up winning even though I was the first to embarrassingly go down. I got caught out by Libra's jump attack, and he one-shotted me. I give myself one shameless death a match, everybody gets one cause occasionally you just take the full force of a very unlucky hit. That was my only time down, and I went on to revive my team from full three bars later in the fight. Once again, I had Less Likely To Be Targeted. Whether my teammates take it or not, I'm taking it if I see it, that's the easiest way to survive against the summons.
To survive Gaping Jaw's tornado drop is simple... run xD Wherever he drops, run the fuck away from him. You want to be close enough though to quickly get to a spirit spring to jump into the middle of the tornado so run... but not too far. It's just timing you learn after fighting these things so much, distance and timing, and a lot of people have trouble with Everdark Gaping, he's just very unpredictable. I wish they'd implement something to where I can draw aggro because often times I know my teammates aren't strong enough to survive if they get attacked so it would be nice if I could hold the attention of the boss, and it attacks me while they attack it. I actually prefer when the boss is attacking me because then I know what it's going to do, and can safely evade it. The most dangerous part is how quickly they can switch between targets so in a split-second it goes from your teammate to you, and that can easily catch you off-guard. I'm ok with holding aggro because I know I can survive. I guess that's the whole reason to play Guardian, their whole thing is drawing aggro, and holding it to protect the team. But... I don't wanna play Guardian.

The 30 minute Everdark Libra fight that probably took rwo weeks off my life xD
It was basically a juggling act between the Guardian, and I, who's gonna revive the Wylder this time...
199c6f5f5d556-screenshot-Url

To be fair, ED Libra is probably the hardest fight in the game. The most widely accepted tactic, for those who know, is to get Less Likely to be Targeted so Libra's summons fight each other or even attack him. The issue is that if not everyone on the team has it then the summons pile onto whoever doesn't. I got it early on a seal so while clearing city I duped, and pinged it for whoever wanted it. No one took it. Not everyone knows. That's the issue with such limited communication. So in the final fight all the summons left me the fuck alone... and constantly killed Wylder xD But we kept picking his ass back up so it was fine. Probably the best Guardian I've ever played with, very solid, also had constant aggro, but managed to stay alive most of the time, and got me up the one time I went down. Hey, in a 30 minute boss fight only getting killed once is kinda impressive if you ask me~

Getting back to my roots where looking cute is more important than wearing armor xD
199c196da581-master-playlist-1

The geniuses at Bethesda will put out these really cute outfits... that show UNDERNEATH your armor. So... you can't see them if you're wearing armor. So fuck it, I'm going without. So what if I die, I'm level 1187, I have nothing to prove. Armor is for the weak. Now to make myself an explosive melee weapon, and just have fun blowing myself, and everyone around me, up xD There's actually a Halloween event happening now in 76 that's all about blowing shit up, and setting it on fire. Kinda perfect🖤

When you accidentally stagger the boss while reviving your teammate, and have to choose between finishing the revival or going for the crit..
ezgif-1e1dd2abbb5b5a

I still got him back up xD Eventually...
Completely forgot we had the Astel revive which was unfortunately necessary. That feeling though when you think all hope is lost, and then suddenly...
ezgif-24d9f86c273b06

So we did go on to win, and then this guy friends me, but apparently only to flex on me because he immediately sent me a picture displaying he's max depths level. And this is exactly why the depths are not an indication of skill...
199bb62e20913-screenshot-Url

Seven to one. I had to revive him seven fucking times the final fight, he revived me once. I revived him 12 times through the entire round. He revived me ONCE. Hilariously, after showing me his mighty impressive depth score, he then very condescendingly told me he'd be more than happy to HELP ME. Sure, buddy, it'll be a big help for me to follow you around some more, keeping your ass alive. Like, were we not playing the same game xD You think... I'M the one who needs help?
Wut xD
This is why I don't do the depths. It gives people like this massive egos. Your depths level means shit to me when I have to constantly scrape you off the ground, fucker. You fucking suck. Get the fuck out.
And he wasn't a horrible teammate. He dropped me the staff I was using, and several starlight shards, I'm grateful. But assuming I must need help with harder parts of the game without even fucking knowing my depths level... If I played with someone who outlived, outdamaged, and outplayed me in general, my first notion wouldn't be that this person needs my help. I might offer to play with them again for fun if they were a good teammate, I wouldn't insult them by offering them my help like they obviously need it. So then I poke around in his trophies... No Demon's Souls, no Dark Souls, no Bloodborne.
Yeah, I definitely need YOUR help🙄
Apparently this week it's Raider mains turn to piss me off. You've got constantly dead big impressive depths 5 guy, and then I go into a round with another Raider who proceeds to immediately grab everything the Recluse is dropping for me. They drop a dagger, grabbed, dropped a staff, grabbed, drop a spell-enhancing talisman, grabbed. This idiot then proceeds to use giant candlestick, a massive FIRE weapon, against the highly FIRE resistant FIRE wolf. But never once uses it's massive fire attack against the multiple fire weak bosses we fight in Rot forest.
I just... I try to tell myself, hey, some people are new, some people aren't good, some people just don't get it, it's on you to overcome them. Come on, Aiyana, I thought you loved a challenge...

ezgif-10108b731040e4

Nine fucking times I revive these idiots in this single fight.
199b759897f51-screenshot-Url

I go down ONCE at the very end, and it's all over, they can't even do like 300 damage to finish her off. I'm not gonna block people just for being bad, I won't be that toxic... But holy fuck, get outta this boss, you don't belong here. More often than not having teammates makes the game more challenging than just running solo. Because then you have enemies buffed up with enough HP, and attack power for three people, but two dead-weights around your ankles that you have to constantly keep alive while fighting a three person boss essentially on your own while keeping yourself alive. I kept telling myself, just let them lay there, you can easily do this on your own, stop wasting your healing trying to play hero to the two bumbling idiots.
But they were my idiots🙄

Get mooned on, asshole~
I've been trying really hard to not rely on the Astel revive when I end up on city rounds. The revive is nice when you're going up against harder bosses like Night Aspect, ED Gladius and ED Libra. But I don't like to depend on it for a win, and there are other reasons to go through city such as it having a wealth of opportunities to get legendary equipment. Going there for Caligo or Sentient you might get the Red Braid Whip which is, in my opinion, the best fire weapon in the game, and can easily beat just about anything, but completely melts anything weak to fire. Take that in against ED Caligo, you don't even need the frost resistance, they're dead that quick. I was in a round recently going against ED Caligo with an Ironeye, and another Duchess. Other Duchess took lead, but then midday second day she headed to castle instead of mountain. Most people will say, "Stick with your team even if they're making a bad decision." Nah. You know what we're fighting, you know the exponential benefit of going up mountain to get not only major frost resistance, but also anti-dragon effect on your weapons, no, I will not be following my team to castle, I will be heading up the mountain alone if need be. The only real danger there is the big frost dragon, easily avoided, all the other fields bosses are pretty weak, and drop extra buffs to FROST RESISTANCE. So yeah. Rather go do that... than castle, and your evergaol bullshit. I hate separating from my team because people tend to die when I'm not around, but I have my own free-will, and autonomy in a game I paid for. It's like people who ping every couple of steps they run. I don't need you micro-managing my every step, I'm not a fucking dog dragging at your heels, you ping where you're going, and I'll probably show, but I will absolutely abandon you if you pull that shit because I'm not going to be treated like I'm stupid, and I for damn sure ain't gonna listen to pingpingping... pingpingping... pingpingpingpingping egery three seconds. No, you can go fuck yourself. Anyway, with the Ironeye/Duchess team, Ironeye ended up rage-quitting after going down three or four times to Caligo, but because I had the frost resistance I kept team Duchess going. Sometimes you have to go it alone, and that's ok.

Admit it, Aiyana, you fucking love to carry...
ezgif-46f0ce3b59bd7f

I'm just so good at it xD
I love the Everdark Gladius fight. It's dodge perfectly or die most of the time unless you have damage negation stacked. There are idiots... complete fools who will tell people to forgo anything defensive, and go all in on attack power because, "Kill boss as quickly as possible." And sure enough... all their mighty stacks of attack power are worth exactly shit when they then get one-shot, and spend most of the round kissing the ground. More than I need my teammates to be strong, I need them to survive. Most Souls boss fights are an endurance test. You may have to dodge ten times to get two hits in. Take improved dodging if it comes up. Gladius uses a ton of fire attacks. Take affinity damage negation if it comes up. It's not that hard. If there is one thing I'd request of FromSoftware though... I'd like the ability to add an affinity to a weapon. Because often times I'll have my build set up towards the main bosses weakness, and then never find a decent weapon with fire or holy or lightning or whatever. True, there are relics you can equip to add these affinities to your starter weapon, but... Duchess dagger is a little underwhelming, not a big fan of using it the entire round. Obviously you wouldn't be able to put affinities onto higher level weapons that'd be OP, just make it the basic ones so I can turn my wakizashi into a fire wakizashi. I understand that the randomness of equipment, and getting a win out of subpar equipment is part of the challenge, and it is more satisfying to win in spite of your equipment not matching your build. But ya know... Going multiple rounds vs Everdark Sentient, and not getting a single fire weapon with +6 fire attack power built into my character... A little annoying.
