I immediately came looking for your videos once I started playing again. Looking forward to seeing you test some interesting builds like you've done in the past.
That's what I thought you'd see with the new update. I'm waiting for some advanced combat tips like with the sword and defeating the boss hand-to-hand!
Hey Lolly! I'm glad you're making videos again showcasing weapons (and your skillz haha). I know you like dagger playstyle, do you think S&H is viable in ashlands normal difficulty?
imo, it's still viable for taking out soft targets like twitchers and charred archers, as they're the only ones you can reliably parry with this weapon (i play on hard, so i'm not sure if you can parry the tougher mobs on normal difficulty) for other enemies, you're better off using different weapons. during my progression to get the new weapons, i used skoll and hati paired with a frostner. the frostner proves effective against warriors, knocking them back sufficiently to often cause their attacks to miss, and its special attack ensures they will miss entirely
Aww yea idk why but I want to see you go through ashlands in fenris armor just because it has that ability to walk through fire or better yet does it allow you to walk through lava?
while i appreciate the movement bonus provided by the fenris set, wearing it in ashlands on hard difficulty is risky due to the potential for almost anything to stagger you, often resulting in death. i haven't tested if it allows you to walk through lava, though that sounds a bit far fetched to me
Have any tips for the ashlands? I keep getting swarmed and dying as soon as i exit my portal there. Had no trouble with any biome before but now Im just getting bodied
put a shield generator where your portal is. in my experience, mobs don't spawn inside the bubble's radius, and the ash stakes are incredibly effective. i've watched a morgen get shredded to pieces, and this is on hard difficulty
@@nolollygagging11 ah god i cant even SEE the asksvin but ya thats what asksvins do… i once had not one but THREE 1-star asksvins just walk up to my flank while bombarding a fort. no noise, nothing, just hi there’s 3 of us LUNGE!!! there’s also something OP and/or bugged about their lunge hitbox it’s so wide, ive found many times you HAVE to dodge roll not just run evade to the side or anything, so when you have 3 on you it’s like okayyyy not enough stamina in the world to perma dodge roll ima die now bye.
@@nolollygagging11 followup question. i love that you arent just a bow abusing safe spotting loser wimp, same here, when actually playing the game like we do have you found that it’s at all possible to play on very hard difficulty in later biomes? i started a hardcore world and am about to hit swamp only. hard does seem like the most enjoyable for a challenging gameplay, but the gamer in me wants the accomplishment of very hard.
@@shmootube5000 it's definitely doable, but i personally prefer playing on hard difficulty. i feel like hard mode strikes the right balance. on very hard, mobs are akin to their 2 star variants, rendering shields and the parry mechanic nearly useless, which means you have to rely heavily on dodging. if you're playing on hardcore, it might involve relying on a lot of cheesey tactics. being lactose intolerant, i don't think i'll enjoy that kind of challenge
@@nolollygagging11 cool thanks, ya i started a couple hardcore worlds but changed difficulty to hard not very hard and added fire spread zero portals. first playthrough i was scouting a swamp and was running along a cliffside so didnt see any plains textures and failed a dodge roll against a skeeto dead from 90 health… currently gearing up to find the elder again in my 2nd run. hard feels about right, things are scary but possible.
Hello! Is it me or in this patch you can no longer perform the dodge-double attack move? I tried and i couldn't do it. You still can do other extended combos though 🧐
@@lucianojose69 it can be reverted to the old behavior if someone made a mod for it, however it will likely be considered a cheat by the vanilla community.
@@kril859 kind of irrelevant to the point, you can make the argument that dodge counters, as skill-less as they are, still require human input unlike enabling god mode. there are bound to be people who enjoy that kind of thing because it used to be in the vanilla game. especially in pvp stab rolls were pretty much "the" move and for obvious reasons: you get the full s of a dodge plus the sword stab, plus the opportunity to do another 3x damage swing right after. the option is always out there for whoever wants to mod it in, but the devs patched it out for a clear reason and it would be hard to convince vanilla players why they should unpatch it with a mod just for a smaller group of players that like the old behavior.
i started out playing on hard difficulty, so i can't speak to how it plays on normal. initially, it was quite challenging as a melee build because i had to learn the behavior and attacks of each mob. i died multiple times while trying different approaches, understanding the strength of each mob's attacks, and strategically managing swarms. however, once i became familiar with everything, it became easier to handle
Welcome back!
underrated channel! you deserve more subs!

They patched the sword combos

4:15 damn dood that from ONE 1-star archer hit?? i can barely tell. and this is hard mode right or whats the difficulty?
that was from an askvin. it was hiding behind the valk so i wasn't able to see it preparing to pounce at me 😅
and yes, this is on hard mode.

it was fixed in ashlands. sword secondary and knife primary (and all other attacks) can no longer override dodging.
@@jard well that explains everything, i'm sad but to be fair that was broken and even more with the parry bonus
@@lucianojose69 it can be reverted to the old behavior if someone made a mod for it, however it will likely be considered a cheat by the vanilla community.
@jard well it kinda is cheating don't you think? Might aswell modify your game to have Infinite hp😂

Ew, the root harnesk armour
Most OP item in the game XD
@@galbatrollix5125 agree. i dislike how it looks though lol
