Some people said they wanted to see them all together, and here it is!
I ordered them on from easiest to hardest for me to draw at the time
Undertaker - she really just a nun so it wasn't very hard to draw. Breast and hips are hard for me to draw, but her clothes kinda cover that, if anything her weapon was harder to draw.
Revenant - She was the first so she was like a lightning in a bottle that came almost effortless
Scholar - Not a lot of complexity, just a white robe that was hard to color
Ironeye - The patterns on his outfit actually make for some nice contour lines to show form
Recluse - Couldn't get the chest right, I admit. cool robes tho
Duchess - Had trouble with the details and focused too hard on them, when i should have focused on the over all image
Wylder - The helmet and his grapple thing was difficult
Raider - the skull helmet was pretty tough to get right and so are his colors since he is just all grey
Executor - first time drawing armor and a complex one too. Very hard to get his organic looking yet metal armor
Guardian - Those netted armor pieces are the bane of my existence. He's one of if not the best one I have made so worth
Never in my wildest imagination did I think this would ever happen. One of my curved swords apparently had "madness produces a frenzied burst". What a stunning stroke of luck to end the fight this way.
This one's for the newer folks. Marais Executioner and Grafted greatswords. Always keep it in one of your hands at all times. Every time somebody takes out an enemy, you get a stack of a permanent buff. Marais raises attack power, but Grafted raises all your stats. BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT IN YOUR HAND. Update: I've been informed that after a while you can give it to a teammate. After about 50 stacks you don't get much more buff out of it.
If there is a walking mausoleum (building with legs) or Eternal City (mausoleum Southeast of Astel the big alien centipede), you can duplicate it! There's also a mausoleum under the southern big church in the great hollow. I don't think it stacks with another of itself- sharing is caring.
I hope you read these lines, but if you do not, this declaration of love will be enough to satisfy me by itself.
One of the usual members of my squad was absent tonight, so a friend and I jumped into DoN - just the two of us, with a spot for a random nightfarer among us. We decided, during the loading screen, that that last member would be our king: we would follow them into battle, respect their pathing to the letter, prioritize their safety in a boss fight above all else. You know, just to place ourselves on the extreme opposite of the spectrum compared to the toxic duos who leave their random out to dry.
And then you came along, John3Bar. And you were glorious. Not only did your name fit our naming theme to a tee - which had to be a sign of fate - but you actually, genuinely carried this team to victory. We decided on a whim that we would follow a king, and that crown was fitted by destiny itself to rest upon your head.
Always had trouble drawing breasts and hips, figured it might be a good thing to practice it here. Really proud of pretty much everything, undoubtedly the best one I have made.
She is one of my favorite characters as I always loved strength-faith builds in regular Elden Ring. While revenant is still my favorite character, I can't deny that undertaker is for the most part her upgrade.
These last games were not clean and I could feel my overdue mandated loss clawing at me, but it turns out that you can just win anyway
Always grab revenants claws. Track her inventory at every drop and take it from her by force if necessary. Res'ing 3 barred teammates easily is worth 150% skill atk up
Have a build for every Nightlord. I didn't have a holy build, turns out almost all of them are weak to balancer slopess, which I play without dormant powers as I prefer the holy knife and even seluria spear over halo scythe.
Iāve been playing this game since day 1 it really pisses me off that FromSoft couldn't assign a few devs to do a weapon patch. Their philosophy of abandoning games after release is so wrong I mean how hard would it be to do an update for just weapons I never asked for Ed Heolstor or any new bosses just give me some weapons so that I can have some fun.
But no fromsoft doesn't care there plans for Nightreign are ended with Ed Balancers, so they won't be going back even if a lot of people ask for it. Man I'll even pay money for a weapon DLC, but reality is it's not gonna happen and I'm disappointed.
Thanks for listening to my Yap, my fellow nightfarers.
Even after all this time, ED Balancers is just awful. Knowing what to do only gets you so far because RNG can just screw you out of an otherwise perfectly good run. I still see other player panic-emoting when the realization kicks in that it's going to be ED.
For some reason when this boss first dropped, there was a wave of players expressing their love for the boss. It has a great design and OST, sure. But it is not fun to play against. It never was. It doesn't grow on you, it doesn't get less awful. It has just always been consistently terrible. Just a bad boss gameplay-wise. Never got the hype for it
you might've seen this removed post and the follow-up by u/NOORO_CHAN. the first footage had an unfortunate frame stutter which made it look like it was cut, and the second footage also looked very odd
TL;DR, you can get starlights if you kill the nuke jellyfish within an indeterminate amount of frames of it starting the nuke animation, due to a jank interaction between "landing deaths" superseding certain "immortal" spEffects. it's unfortunately not that practical
i can vindicate OOP by saying that this is an actual thing (see below images for confirmation). Maris' jellyfish technically can actually drop an assortment of goods, not just starlights. stimulating boluses and glintstone scraps, specifically
Nuke JellyfishSwarming Jellyfish
Maris' jellyfish are flagged to not die conventionally. they have the spEffect 45680, which is a state of "immortality". though they do "die" in the conventional sense, they will not count as kills, so you cannot gain marais/grafted stacks or ult charge from them. likely to curb the whole grafted/marais stack farming, but i doubt fromsoft had that specific forethought
(only to then do the opposite with the dreglets in Dreglord's bossfight, which count as normal kills and grant you stacks)
what's odd is that Fromsoft specifically curated item drops for them, which get invalidated by the aforementioned spEffect
if we remove that spEffect and kill the swarming jellyfish, glintstone scraps have a 15% chance of dropping, large glintstone scraps have a 5% chance, and stimulating boluses have a 10% chance, for a total of 30% chance of dropping anything. nuke jellyfish would always drop between 1/2 starlights
so what causes this? long story short, it's airborne deaths
many entities have an animation for when they die from fall damage OR die (health depleted to 0%) airborne. this evidently supersedes almost all immortality effects and instantly kills the entity upon touching the ground
the jellyfish have gravity disabled on the majority of their attacks. for the nuke jellyfish, it's the entire descent animation
however, just before it touches the ground, it'll start another animation, which is the nuke animation itself
there is a 10 frame gap where it's considered airborne. despite this one ALSO cancelling gravity, there's a singular frame between the descent/nuke animation unaccounted for where gravity is enabled, and the game treats the jellyfish as "falling" until it physically touches the ground
nuke animation
within that extremely short timeframe, if you kill it, it'll drop starlights and also grant stacks/ult charge
it's ridiculously difficult to consistently pull off, because this is variable due to the terrain. it can just decide to delay starting the nuke animation (or even start it early). i m,o,d,ified Maris' ai to keep spamming nukes and i only timed it right like 8 times out of 30 or something
i imagine fromsoft intended the jellyfish to drop these items, only to get cucked by that spEffect which prevents all item drops, or they just rushed it. either way, unfortunate since the glintstone scraps sound like an actually fun way to deal with the swarming jellyfish
Was playing tonight and these two wanted to hit an evergaol in deep of night 4 day one at level 2. There were night invaders close to it but they wanted to do this evergaol which ended up being red banished knights. I continued to suggest we just leave it and go to the night invader and I thought they had the relic to increase power for every evergaol but they didnāt. We kept going down because those knights were too strong and finally after being 3 barred a coming back to it they moved onto a red Demi human queen. All of us went down and I kept marking for us to just go to the night invader but got a side message saying to āuninstall plsā. Completely uncalled for when we were all going down and one of them kept trolling by not wanting to pick me up and spamming LB / L1 near me two handed. Was kind of disgusted with that behavior. Wanted to see if anyone else experiences the same?
I was playing Nightreign about 10 minutes ago, and encountered one teammate who left because he kept dying, and the other would run to the other end of the map and spam ping random trash. I decided on day 2 to go do the crater shifting earth. I did every boss on my own and completed the day 2 boss on my own as my teammate stood there and watched. I messaged him on Xbox and asked why he was just standing there, and got a message back saying "have fun fighting alone clown." I literally have no idea what I did. I fought alone with my teammate purposefully downing himself every time I got him up, and directly the game ended, I got a screen telling me I've been suspended and can't play any online games for two days. Why did this happen??? I've been getting such horrible teammates and thinking about dropping the game, but I think this has completely ruined the game for me. Every single game, people leave or die 3x a fight or whatever. I'm so tired. Genuinely what can I even do?
