Just thinking about how I've read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy. But could a dog or other animal be taught, and trained to throw things to hit a target? I mean, it's not like a human can throw well without guidance and practice, either.

I just noticed that I can summon Torrent for the Elden Beast now. Is that a bug?

Like "radio" or "fantasy" or "game..." They're basically the same in Japanese (radjio, fantaji, gaamu) so if I just said them in English pronunciation, would someone with no experience in English still be able to tell what I'm saying?

Just curious if anyone else with a Quest 3 (or even 2 I guess) is having this issue. Seems to have only started after v68 dropped. Is there a fix? The patch notes said I should be able to handle the connection from the system menu, but there's nothing to force them back on or turn them off; it's the same shit that's been in there since I got the thing.

Just let the enemy soldiers, knights and perfumers deal with it. Either the dragon kills all the adds, or the adds kill the dragon. I don't know why so many people summon for it when there are still like 50 dudes down there. I just sit at the top of the hill and watch; even as a phantom.

Just curious because they're like half dragon, right? Should the dragon damaging stuff hurt them more? 🤔

This is the only fight in the DLC that is truly unenjoyable for me. It's not hard, per se, but fuck is all that spam annoying.

One of the things I absolutely love in these games is that you can pretty much guess what an enemy's weaknesses are by looking at them. Dude made of fire? Use ice. Dude made of ice? Use fire. Dude made of flesh? Use bleed.

Most people seem to understand this, but there's one other thing in these that I constantly see people having difficulty with and that is dudes made of rock or metal. Your swords, axes and spears won't really do much to these guys. But they do have a weakness: blunt weapons (IE Strike damage). The only stone guys in the game that don't really seem to follow this are the new Forge Golems, which have their own special weak point.

Things made of stone or metal include:

• Imps
• Gravebirds
• Radagon
• Every type of golem
• Iron Balls
• Every type of Marionette
• Divine Beasts (not easy to tell by visuals; but in the lore, the humans underneath are called "sculpted keepers" and if you look carefully, they have the same kind of stone-grey skin as other rock monsters)
• Crystellians (these guys are actually used as a tutorial for the advantages of Strike weaponry!)
• Iron Virgins (although their insides are still fleshy, so you can just bait them to open up and use slash or piercing weapons effectively too)
• Falling Star Beasts
• Graven Masses

And in addition to these: Skeletons or anything visibly showing bone (which is pretty much all undead/Those Who Live in Death as well as Astels). But they are also super weak to Holy damage.

So if you find yourself struggling against any of these types of enemies, just switch to a hammer of some kind for that encounter. Especially the grave birds in the Shadow Realm; strike damage makes these things not even a threat as even the smallest strike weapons keep them completely stun-locked.

When I am a Gold or Blue, the Host is an absolute noob and dies to falling off an easy jump. If I invade, the host is a god among men all the way at the end game of the DLC using the Taunter's Tongue all alone and actually is good at PvP.

If I shave it could be trouble... But if it grows it could be double (in length). But also double trouble because I'd probably need some beard wax or something to keep it good. It's lookin' scraggly.

I was stoked for these things, especially the spear so I don't have to waste FP with Spectral Lance (and I can make it any affinity), but I am noticing that if you hit something at the furthest range they will go, they do fuck all in damage. They do normal damage if you're still in melee range, but if I wanted to use them in melee range, I wouldn't give two shits about them being thrown weapons. 😬
