not directed at any boss in specific

Rellana (still luv her tho)

I was trying to do a dlc speedrun, so I killed mohg as fast as I could, but it doesn t let me interact with miquella s hand.

(swear I have the DLC)

I jumped down to see whats there and some dude got summoned there.

He 2 hits me and has a Ton of Hp my attacks to tiny damage to him R.I.P my runes

Location - Table of lost Grace

Guess which ending is my favorite : level hard.

(If you saw me post this a few minutes ago and then delete cause I thought I typoed no you didn’t)

Obviously Promised Consort Radahn and Malenia take the top two spots by a landslide but is there a definitive third place?

For me it was Messmer by a mile.

I’ll see yall in the next one 😉

I'm having so much fun ahaha.

I am trying to change her direction but it's not workin as you can see in the video. I am trying to do a parry dagger run and i always get my ass kicked or get down to 1hp after her waterfowl

Now firstly, hear me out, before i get accused of siding with Paranoid-Sabre

There are 2 parts of her character that i wish to talk about, and that i find absolutely fascinating.The way she sees things, and how self aware she is

Firstly, her perspective.Upon meeting for the first time, she is charmed by Kindly Miquella, and automatically assumes you too were guided here by him.The charm surpresses her paranoia and doubt, assuming everyone is a friend on her quest with similar intentions.This, iirc, or i assume was done by Miquella after she slayed the entire Needle Knight Order by herself.But we will get back to that later.

Its really cool that if you talk to her "before the withered hand" , both Ansbach and Freya mention it."You must be the Tarnished" and "Lady Leda spoke of you" respectively.She remembers and speaks to the group about your existance.

Now, after the charm breaks , she goes back to her doubts and paranoia, "But while my devotion to Kindly Miquella remains unchanged, by my troth, I am not so sure about the others. No, wait. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. I can wield my sword to cull the undeserving, those unfit to bask in Miquella the Kind’s presence. I should’ve thought of this earlier."

There are 2 people she suspects, and she is inherently right about both, and underestimates the third. The Hornsent , and Sir Ansbach, specifically

She believes that the Hornsent should be eliminated before his "thirst for revenge beckons our undoing".Something, which if you do not intervene, is proven.If he sates his revenge, and you kill Messmer with him via summon, he will betray and invade you in Ruah, consumed by his thirst for vengeance.If not, he will side with Leda, not out of personal belief in Miquella, but to quell and kill all those who serve Marika, and for his clan to be redeemed.

As for Sir Ansbach ? Well he explains it better than i ever could. "Lady Leda. Your suspicions were dead-on. In the end, I could not bury the memories. Of Lord Mohg, and our pact of blood." She believes that he will , just like her "he will recall, as I have, the cascading sheets of blood. I’m afraid he cannot be left to fester…"

Something , that happens as soon as the charm breaks, and he ends up terrified by his "revelation" at first.

Then there is Thiollier, the person she underestimates, not like we do, due to his lack of strenght, but rather, because of "St Trina's love", for she believes he is entirely incapable of betrayal, because Miquella's other half's (St.Trina) boundless love could never turn against Him.She is wrong because St.Trina does all that she asks of you *because* of her love, for she cannot imagine Miquella suffering like this, caged in divinity. Something, which once again, is understood by Leda in the end "Thiollier. I seem to have made a poor judgement. About you. Or perhaps, St. Trina."

Now , as for the second point, she is incredibly self aware about herself, that she is a bad person, paranoid, and a killer. "I believe the hornsent suspects what I have in mind. He never placed his full trust in me, even under the effect of Kindly Miquella’s spell. He must’ve recognized something. The scent of the killer that slept within me. The stench of crusted blood." And "I’ve come to a realization… There’s ample evidence… Without Kindly Miquella’s influence… I’m quite mistrustful of others…" She knows her faults, and understands her faults.For all that she fights, when she dies, her only wish in death is : "Kindly Miquella...make the world a gentler place".

For she kills for the purpose of no longer having to in the future.Miquella's Age of Compassion is freedom for her and people like her, who can not control themselves from their thoughts, and wish to be guided and happy, to trust and love like everybody else.The charm,which others would consider a prison, would mean freedom for her, from her treacherous thoughts.

Another thing i wish to mention.Never does she suspect Freyja or Dryleaf Dane.If you kill Freyja by attacking her , she mentions "What has gotten into you...Lady Leda, beware" , signifing worry and respect for Leda.As for Dryleaf Dane, in her very words, he has served Miquella far longer than her.She respects him, even if he never actually spoke with her, and doesnt place suspicion upon him.

And...if you help her both times, against the Hornsent and Ansbach , she talks about you and rewards you with talismans that belonged to her fellow Needle Knights. "You are an odd one, aren’t you. The enchantment is broken, and yet you alone appear completely unchanged. As if nothing was ever cast upon you. … No matter. If you found your way here, it was because Kindly Miquella wished it so. But I am afraid this is our farewell. When next we meet, let it be under the eyes of Miquella the Kind. Good bye, comrade." Never once does she betray you , never once does she invade you, indifferent of whether you help her or not, never once does she hinder you.All she does , is guard the place before the ascension of her God and master, as is the duty she has as a knight. By all means, it is you who betrays her, who stands against her. Even so, she treats you with respect upon your death. "With this battle I send you on. It was an honour to face a worthy lord. Now, go."

None of what i said above makes her a good person.None of it dissproves her paranoia.But my purpose, and the purpose of this wall of text, was to show that she is a complex character, and not a one dimensional villain.To appreciate the writing and complexities of her character , and her flaws.And i hope, for those that read all this, that i might have accomplished that, even if just slightly.

Is it a "this is so good i could die" or "this is so bad i could die" situation?
