The mimic did a lot of damage (I'm sure others do as well) and she couldn't recover health quick enough with 2 of me attacking her.
Ok well this is giving me a sliver of confidence at least

The summon I was using at first was only doing like 67 damage per hit. Mimic was doing like 4-5x that.
No of course not.
If you cannot tell a story in fairly decent time, then it's not a good story.
like. if you need 13 hours to explain who marika is and what's going on, then something is not right.
I saw much shorter vids that get to the point
And yes - I know reading a book takes a long time but it's not about that.
I mean, you can explain whole lord of the rings in like 5 minutes... and probably in good detail in an hour.Agree with you there. There was one YTer that makes Final Fantasy videos but i think its like 15hrs per title. I can handle something movie length because YT is pretty much modern TV but when I see any videos talking 10+ hrs about a single game, its some jerking off exposition, drama pauses etc. Its not enjoyable to watch nor is that length needed for everything to be explained.
Mimic has your gear and spells with scaled up HP per level and infinite FP/items - it's useful pretty much everywhere. Equip an area healing spell if you have any and if you take the aggro it will pretty much look after itself too.Should I go try to take on either Maliketh or Dragonlord Placidusax? Does the Mimic help a bunch on them too?

I used to keep one of the perfumer buff craftables, which means mimic has infinite of them. It might use it rarely or way too often, but it almost certainly will.
What some people do is equip something they want the mimic to have, summon, then change the load out.
Personally I would go for Placi.
That's the one! It can be very effective, and the shield doesn't hurt to have. One of the few top tier craftables IMOIs that the Uplifting Aromatic? I dont think Ive ever used these before

Sorry, I meant that the Uplifting Aromatic's buff is that it boosts attack and is a physical shield that eats a single attack. But that shield is the one I used - very sturdy and reliable!I forget what shield Im using but I got it real early on. Its like a small golden one. Has served me well!

Dude ok so I know I need to light these four statues but holy fucking shit those black assassins completely curbstomp my ass (and I have the sentry torch). Bloodhounds fang does jack shit in damage so I’m assuming I need to sneak past them as best I can.
Does the game save for each statue you light? Any good way to take down the assassins? Or a guide to get the statues? (or at least two. I see the one on ground level and I got one by climbing up a ladder in the back of a building after shitting my pants running from an assassin).
Honestly the invisible Black knife are not the biggest threat, its those female albinauric arches are the ones that can pain in the ass.Dude ok so I know I need to light these four statues but holy fucking shit those black assassins completely curbstomp my ass (and I have the sentry torch).

The tourch reveal the black knife assassins.
Yeah I know but it’s still hard as fuck
Its easy as soon as you know that colossal weapons and colossal swords break their poise very easily.
What’s a colossal weapon?
Isn't about time we hear something, ANYTHING about the DLC? I wish they announce the DLC when they had something to show....I'm not happy with this long radio silent .
That part is rough. I tend to ignore the assassins and sprint to the ground torch, it's not worth fighting. The rooftop snipers are a pain with their insane aggro range, there's not really a lot you can do to get around them except learning which to pick off first. I don't know how invisibility or aggro redirection works, never thought of either until this second.Dude ok so I know I need to light these four statues but holy fucking shit those black assassins completely curbstomp my ass (and I have the sentry torch).

You might find it useful to know that the sentry torch will work even when you two hand another weapon, which may be useful for that beast of a sword you're using.
If you are referring to the black knife set it is under the stairway to the Haligtree.Alright well I checked out a vid this morning even though I already have a mental layout of the place. I know I can do it. For one, the game does save after each candle is lit which helps a ton. So it's really just a matter of doing the whole thing as systematically as possible, with lighting the ground level one last since that involves getting right in the dudes grill to light the candle.
Need to check and see if I have the assassins armor. Im actually not too concerned about the arrow guys. The assassins though, they scare the shit out of me.

To be fair, YouTubers have a talent for stretching what could be said in a few minutes into hours and hours of video content. I find this trend annoying. 5-30 minutes > 3-15 hoursI mean, you can explain whole lord of the rings in like 5 minutes... and probably in good detail in an hour.
15 hours is just bad
Spot on. Haligtree, and even the Secret Medallions to get anywhere near there, is all optional.Just learned I need to defeat Maliketh to get to Leyndell Ashen Capital. So that fucker is the roadblock to the final area and final boss eh?
So I can just totally bypass Malenia if I want? Fight Maliketh and then head towards the end game?

Also, you missed something in the snowfield. If you want a general area to look: the collection of big trees opposite Ordina. Also, did you spot the walking mausoleum that probably killed your framerate?
I believe it's that very most western tip. I'd also check out both Yelough areas, there's at least one faith spell and a very powerful int spell to be had.Are you able to mark it on the map?
I dont think Ive spotted the walking mausoleum there, but I do know what you're talking about. Ive run into a couple of them in other parts of the world.
Damn man all this time I thought Malenia and all of the rest of the Shardbearers were necessary to fight to reach the end.
Ironically, the only necessary battles are with Maliketh and Radagon as many speedruns have revealed. As far as locating the Walking Mausoleum in the area is concerned, if you follow the frozen river NorthWest of Ordina you will find it. If you go there at night you will also find death.Are you able to mark it on the map?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have a general idea of what and where everything is after taking the time to find it and test it during my multiple playthroughs. I check the specifics by looking at maps and fextralife wiki.Man how do you guys know all of this
It sort of just sinks in after 1000 hoursMan how do you guys know all of this
800 hours of play timeMan how do you guys know all of this
It is called the frenzied flame and it is tied to an ending that embodies unification by destruction. That ending can be cancelled by beating Malenia for a needle that can be used at Dragonlord Placidusax combat arena in Farum Azula.What are the chaos flames?
And then some of those challenges inspire playthroughs, and the cycle continues800 hours of play time
Also if you start watching challenge vids on YouTube your life is over.
