Haha yeah, but unfortunately I've got time to do so. There was a reason I thought I wouldn't be able to play this game for awhile and my homie gifted me it. To put it very short, life the past 5 years haven't been kind to me, but the last 2 years I haven't worked..been in a pretty deep depression and there's a mental block I haven't gotten over yet. So, I've been able to no life this game the past week and a half 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been busy and don't have more than an hour or two a day and I don't want to play the game like that. Yeah, I definitely understand that, this isn't a game for 1-2 hours of play time like GD said. Hopefully you'll get some time here soon to play this masterpiece Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, I've been able to no life this game the past week and a half Hey man, that's rough. Sorry to hear it. Glad your friend was able to help you out and hopefully get your mind off things for a while. Life can throw things at you unexpectedly, and can be pretty hard to manage. But you gotta keep pushing. Things will get better if you can maintain a positive outlook and make small goals to keep you focused and moving forward. I don't know your situation, but making even some small changes in your life can have a big positive effect on your outlook.. which is important. I know it's tough, especially these days when it feels like the world is going crazy... but it will get better. Control what you can, and don't focus too much on the stuff that you can't. If it gets real bad, and you need to talk, don't hesitate to drop a PM. I'll listen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,746 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I got the sword of night and flame. How do I get the option to strengthen it? That big dude who upgraded it only sells up to the +4 stone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tears of the Cows 1,211 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 So Radahn keeps one shotting me. I consistently get him to 1/3rd health and then if I take my eyes off him he somehow one shots me. Any tips? Just keep my eyes on him at all time? Farm and raise my vigor? I’m a 103 or some shit, I have no issues with taking health off him… I just don’t have time to take it all down. I’m just using Loretta’s bow over and over… boring fight.

It was worth it. I got it up to +4 and it does as much damage as the Bloodhound's Fang I was using, but the attacks are much faster. The specials seem cool too but I don't have enough FP to really make use of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When its his second phase and he gets those purple giant balls around him just stay the hell away and try position the sand dune between you and him. Then go back to attack after they are shot. The bow tactic didn't work for me though (although I was like level 60ish not 103). Thing that worked for me is pure aggression. Can get him into phase 2 within 1-2min of reaching him, then dodge the comet. then use your allies to get in close. Stay between his legs, always roll toward him, under his legs not away. Fuck off when he gets those balls up then return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck off when he gets those balls up then return. I ended up smoking him lol. I just didn’t realize those big purple balls shoot out at you. Durrr. He just seemed to shoot every time I turned my back for a second for a while. I’m way over leveled idc though, having fun with it. I only hit him with the bow like 6-7 times, mainly just respawned the Allies over and over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
