[QUOTE=Saphirx;49566130]i suppose even they become trivial much like the regular cyclops, making it possible to fight several at once.
the game does the same thing with the regular cyclops (first you fight only 1, then it sends 2 at you later in the game when you've gained more levels, and experience with the game mechanics).[/QUOTE]
It's easy to fight just one of them because they're huge and unwieldy so you just stay under them and run around when they start stomping
when there are two of them it becomes a problem because they can hit you off each other (and they do)
[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;49565815]thematically it's a little bit like dark souls.
gameplay isn't like dark souls one bit, though.[/QUOTE]
Well, if anything, it's the model for how Dark Souls 2 was supposed to be, so there's that.
[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;49566227]Found this guy in the rift and I can't help but find his ratings hilarious. I hired him just to see if he really is that bad, so far he seems to not do much except from talking.

Ah, so he's pre-Ground Zeroes styled snake.
As in never stops talking.
Dark Arisen has a Dark Souls vibe to it, it feels like you're descending deeper into the dungeon after each boss battle.
The game sure is hard if you're a fighter/warrior, no ranged attacks can fuck you up p good.
A handy tip for anyone struggling in terms of damage:
Get yourself Conqueror's Periapts if you're physical damage, Demon's Periapts if you're magic damage. They increase your damage by roughly 20% for 60 seconds, and they stack multiplicatively up to 4 times. You'll do insane damage with 4 stacks, especially as Ranger.
Damn I never actually listened to Grigori's English voice actor on the console version but since the PC version only has English it's really good.
#grace
you guys go kill ur-dragon real quick if you can, he's in the grace period thing but probably won't be for more than 20 minutes or so
man i am torn between assassin and warrior. both are so darn fun to play if youre good.

i 100%d the game on xbox now i feel anew again on PC. this is not good?? ill just stick with assassin again i think
i love slamming the twohanders down at max charge and doing a shit ton of damage. Also launch enemies into fucking space.
Arc of Might and its various levels is one of the most satisfying moves in a game. I go for it on any huge enemy that falls down, every time. So satisfying to knock out 2 bubbles
Is there anyway to get rid of the "Bow Mode"
Why does it exist jeez.

Q to toggle
because why wouldn't you be able to shoot with a bow in a normal fashion.
[QUOTE=Linda,Octopus;49567182]Q to toggle

That's not the problem, it just toggles it whenever I use the bow, so I go to do a stabby move and my dude just pulls out his bow which isn't what I wanted at all ;.;
[QUOTE=Saphirx;49566041]i can't play skyrim anymore because the dragons are so tiny and cute in comparison

p sure it happens whenever you decide to use bowskills.
Why DLC is such a massive dps check? Fucking minotaur stunlocked to death my whole group while I had no chance to damage him even for for a half hp-bar.
Also is there a way to dragonforge stuff aside from killing Ur-Dragon?

Killing any dragon has a chance to dragonforge gear.
Symone love interest by mistake :suicide:
this game is odd. I enjoy playing it in short bursts, but whenever I reach a new milestone such as a city etc I go "ugh" and stop for a while, idk why

I'll admit, it was tough to get into at first, I had to force myself to keep going in the first couple of hours but boy am I glad I pushed through it, it got SO GOOD.
Unrelated - This Ur generation is weak.
what the fuck my pawn just came back with 250k RC
Are there any good strategies for taking down ogres? They always seemed like the one big enemy that doesn't have any specific things to do against it. I guess you can try and cheese his "jump back" move where he knocks himself over if you can time it right.
Is anyone else having this weird glitch where flames and light sources are looking kinda... purple-ish?

It's not like it's a big deal or anything, it's just kind of weird.

Yeah fire to the face is pretty much the only quick go-to early on, or if you're a magic archer and inside somewhere, ricochet hunter shreds them. Warriors can knock them over easy with their jumping fast attack too.
My Jon Snow and crew.

Ur is in grace period. Go go!

Fire to the face, lightning to the head while he's standing. It stuns them and makes him stop moving.

Oh shit you said Ogres not Cyclops.
Magick Archer's Hunter's Bolts absolutely destroy anything with multiple lock on points, especially ones like Cyclops who have like 10.
keep an eye on the official steam chat for DD
you won't miss a single grace period that way
the "grace" period allows you to gain an easy kill on the ur-dragon, as his hearts are destroyed in 1 hit.
