My char even wears the Malikith armor and Radahn head piece lmao gotta rep the hang

First phase move set is tough but fair

Then second phase he’s going all across the arena when the f*** does this guy stop to let me hit dudes a menace

I’ll be sure to figure him out

I was also doing the beast storyline in my first ever playthrough and it was full circle my mans

There is a key item that allows you to parry his dark blade attacks in phase 2

A greatshield or the dodge ash of war are great as well

Or range if youre mage & use the pillars as defense

The f***ing sunflower did a brand new move it never has done on my other 4tries, it did literally the Bloodborne asteroid attack from its DLC but s*** was fired like a pokemon solarbeam in the sky

Ash of war we doing this pure melee and dodge rolls

I WAS ABOUT TO WIN AND THEN I FELL OFF TBE CLIFF

Rip

Finally got the sunflower b****** 10th try

Theres certain moves it only did every few fights and those would throw me off so hard like the solarbeam attack and four arm combo

If i didnt fall off the cliff where only one more hit would have killed it I would have been my 6th try

Its crazy how many entrances there are to the Shadow Keep

only does that in the third phase

Nope its different, the second and first has a chance for him to do the one in the air - its rare tho and completely killed me the first time it happend

And little shadow gold projectiles come out afterwards

The third phase is when it explodes once or twice depending, and does a front beam

I just walked straight into another boss fight a f***in hippo and i wasnt ready at all

Got it 2nd try

It was mad easy but boy was it cool

It and the sunflower was really creative, thats 3 rememberamces in the bag now 💅

Finally im finding faith spells

Hornsent... you better not screw me over in the future

S*** kinda run a lil janky. I probably just wasn’t paying it any attention before, but the amount pop in on the ps5 is glaringly bad. I woulda thought it’d be smoother with the game set to prioritize performance, but nope.

Gotta play the ps4 version on the ps5 if you want solid performance

Eh, don’t feel a ways about it. Half the s*** in this game you’d probably never find on your own anyways. Unless you’re the type to read every item description, ain’t really a big sense of discovery in my experience at least.

For me, the way the story is delivered is so fragmented that looking up guides, makes me more excited to play it for myself tbh. I got through the first 2-3 areas of the DLC without any guides, but narrative wise I still had no clue wtf was going on, so I ain’t really have much motivation to continue. Just been pvping the last week or so

Went back to watch some guides of the areas I’ve completed, and of course I missed things, NPCs, got most items though . So yea I’d say once you feel like you’ve thoroughly explored an area, look up a guide afterwards to see if you missed anything.

Y’all be playing the game so dry

The ps4 version is literally better

There are some games like that

I have no issues besides a slight hang frame when theres tons of enemies and particles going on at the same time which has only happened 3 times so far

The only main "issue" is lower detail in some places like the floors are an obvious lower resolution than everything else, but thats not a big deal imo

Yup

Idk why or how ps5 literally makes some games worse

Faxx lmao and ten times harder while missing out on over half the game

Each their own tho and there's always ng+

But gamer pride!

This DLC is f***ing huge

When I got to the first grace and saw the size of the map I thought it was kinda small

But this s*** is f***ing big
picking up the maps and seeing all the places I still haven’t been to

But f*** the Ghostflame Dragon and specifically the one fighting a bunch of knights
