Level 250 character here, took me 7 tries to beat last boss. I used a STR/FTH build. I even used the new Ancient Meteoric Ore GS and I wasn't optimizing the damage but it still did was it had to do while I rocked mostly defensive talismans myself. If there's any advice I can give to make things easier, a lot of bosses in SotE are rather susceptible to Bleed, so Arcane users, your time is once again now.
Gaius is really inconsistent, like the first attack that he does could do 40%, 80% or straight up one shot me, never understood why tho, it took me a lot of attempts to beat him, I would guess 20+, but to be fair I wasn't even using any defensive talisman, or drinking anything so my bad, I never did any of that at any point in the game tho, rellana beat the same way, when I got to bayle tho, I died so many times that i searched on how to get less damage, and then I equipped talisman, used the mix drinks etc, and from then on I had a wayyy easier time on the dlc, but radhan fuck me up, the only boss in the dlc that made me use mimic tear, and the big light attack that he has, just tanks all my frames, the perfomance on the base game was alright, there was some stuttering on the open world, but never in a boss fight, but radhan nuked my frames on that specific attack, the ending to the dlc is trash tho, like bro give me somw epic shit, but that shit is so underwhelming.
Bullgoat isnt the BEST best armor, thats just what silly and stupid people say, its got good all round protection and the best POISE but against bosses that will always stagger you that poise is wasted there are other pieces with the best defense for certain types of damage negation but generally its fine to wear what you like the look of for most things
Thought I would leave behind my building aswell Weapon’s R(always 2 hand when fighting) -quality Nagakiba Double Slash AoW) -Quality Milady(Wing Stance AoW) -Rellana’s Twin Blades Weapon’s L(Support for off hand use) -Serpent Gods Curved sword(heal on Kill) -GodSlayer Seal(Golden Vow, Black Flame Ball, BloodFlame Blade, Lords Heal) -Repeating Cross Bow Armor -iron Kasa Helm -Horned Warrior armor -Beast Champion Gauntlets -Beast Champion Greaves Talisman -DragonCrest Great Shield(15% Damage negation) -Blessed Blue Dew(Regens FP really fast) -Shard of Alexander(15% skill damage) -Takers Cameo(Heal on Kill) Other talismans I’ll quick swap to -Crimson seed(more flash healing) -Drake +3 (depending on the damage type) -lance(more horse back damage vs furnace Giants) -Ritual Shield(take 30% less damage at max HP) -Gold Scarab(quickly switch when killing a boss to get more runes
I haven’t watched the video yet but here’s what I got to say Yes the dlc is hard. They hand crafted it for 2 yrs and letting players steamroll it with op builds is not a good thing The new leveling mechanic, Scadutree fragments insures ur not over or underpowered. Instead of giving you a flat buff, it enhances ur damage & defenses by a % based on ur build. The philosophy of the base game carries over here where you need to explore and get stronger. It also builds on the dodge mechanic but now it’s more intricate as you need to dodge in a specific direction based on the attack and angle. If u r having trouble, use summons, use co op, and get stronger. Other than the preformance issues it’s almost perfect
The Adam Sandler Movie is Billy Madison. Great movie, Chris Farley stole the movie. But yeah, these people are ridiculous. Fromsoft DLC is always harder than the main game.
Holy shit we have very similar builds! Only difference is I wear turtle shield on my back and I wear omen smirk hat. Also I didn't have too much trouble with Gaius I only died like 2 or 3 times. ( then again I was at 18 scadutree blessing and new game difficulty ).
Bc People cant beat this DLC like they did in the normal Game with their Guts Builds and their Bloodhound Fang Weapons. But they dont want use Things this Game offers, like incantations, Buff items , Summon Tears, and then Crys its too hard.
Finished the DLC. It wasnt that damn hard geeez. But Im someone that has beaten all the Ninja Gaiden games on Master Ninja multiple times. And thats far more challenging than anything from FromSoft
Yes, a portion of the negative reviews are regarding people whinging that the game is too difficult to do "special runs" without upgrades etc. However, there seems to be something involving a lot of negative reviews from China regarding the anti-cheat software.
Yea DLC was insanely good! I haven't had any performance issues on PC to be honest. I just used comet Azur and buffs and talismans on all bosses never had an issue. Also, using summons is a skill issue lol just my opinion sorry.
