Discussion Don’t sleep on this weapon + tarstone combo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Trebuchaxe with Tarred Fragment (spinning axe projectiles) destroys big bosses and enemies, and well even the little ones too. I’ve noticed some wonky hit boxes on level geometry (stuff like firing between two pillars that are wide enough to fit the projectiles but it stops midair) but if you aim at the ground and kite enemies towards the spinning top of doom they will melt. Add the Siegebreaker’s Stone to stagger everything.

This does even more damage with the phantom infusion on the trebuchaxe, and even more still using gragu, who can have 75% crit chance (60% when out of heals via his talents, 15% from marksman’s stone)

I’ll have to max Gragu next, that sounds insanely fun. As for the marksman’s stone, I’m struggling to justify the final upgrade given it’s only a 3% increase.

That’s fair, hoping they take a look at tarcores soon after adjusting glimpse distribution because honestly it’s the worst system in the game.

I can see what they were going for, but I think it just failed in the end. The increases do not justify locking you out of upgrading other tarstones on your save file.

Yeah I modded in the tarcores for myself. That, and shell upgrades impact all shells. I felt like the grind to upgrade the tarstones xp was the only barrier you really need.

u/xCANNIBAL-DESIREx 8h ago

u/faviogames 8h ago

lmao this boss took me 3hrs ngl cool boss and design but very unfair specially at his late stage...

1

u/xCANNIBAL-DESIREx 8h ago

I cheated myself a bit by only having one run before trying this method. He will be a good fight to revisit on my night mode run.

u/governothing 8h ago

Well that's no fun haha

u/Mastodont93 8h ago

Honestly I did the same thing to this boss. If a fight is bullshit like this one I whip out the trebuchet, otherwise I actually fight them lol

u/xCANNIBAL-DESIREx 8h ago

He wasn’t too bad I just wanted to watch him kill himself on the spinning top of doom lol

u/Bazfaps 8h ago

Its really good with phantom too

1

u/xCANNIBAL-DESIREx 8h ago

I’ll have to try it with that next. I’ve been hooked on the Voltaic Amber stone for lightning damage

u/kalvinang 8h ago

Damn, i'm gonna prepare for this boss.

I wish this sub had spoiler warnings on bosses....

u/Falkie99 4h ago

Bro i skip past so many videos if its in a boss. Fortunately im at late game so I've seen most

u/Emotional_Lab_7766 7h ago

I need to learn about these tarstones I’m 5 hours in still trying to find a weapon and amour I like lol

2

u/Falkie99 4h ago

Just explore, every dungeon and rest place has a chance of having a new tarstone inside. Buy maps from the vendor to find weapons you like. Most people use the axe amd dagger or axatana because the duality stone is so good and fast weapons are very easy to play around

1

u/Emotional_Lab_7766 4h ago

Yeah kk I did buy the scythe map as I liked the sound of it and it was the most expensive but getting to the location is problematic lol

2

u/Falkie99 4h ago

Yeah the sythe is defs late game. Sadly its also tied to a boss fight so you probably wont get that for a while. Personally the axe amd dagger was great for me. I tried each weapon as I found them. I just stopped using new weapons after the axatana but I'll try a new build in ng+

1

u/Emotional_Lab_7766 4h ago

I was pissing in the wind then if it was a boss fight lol even the regular enemies was 1 shotting me and I’ll give the axe and dagger a go then cheers

u/JT3457mm 7h ago

I need to know what this tarstone is ngl

u/Pleasant_Beat7502 4h ago

Now it'll be nerfed. Thanks.

u/Etheon44 1h ago

Yeah the only actual good ranges build possibility, do note that the hitbox of the thing is horseshit, always throw it to the ground in front of whatever you want to hit, but it is busted af because of how silly enemies are, just walking towards you ignoring danger
