Not sure I’ll get around to playing too much this weekend since I’ll be at school tomorrow for an open day and have stuff to do for next week. Should I find the time, I’ll probably continue my DLC playthrough of Lies of P. Having lots of fun with the new Advance weapons.

I’d probably have to go for dex overall. I like these small and nimble weapons that allow for lots of mobility and flashy moves/combos. However, I’ve come around to a good bonking every now and then. My DS3 playthrough has largely consisted of using my Ultra Greatsword and a two-handed club. Nevertheless, weapons like the Blades of Mercy from Bloodborne are still king to me.

What about you?

    Ooh, yeah, forgot about those in the DLC, my statement applies to base game. Dolores I don’t think matters enough to really care about, but Thollier’s spike is actually very nasty if you know what you’re doing with it, it does incredibly sick stance damage as well as mega-sleep. I did pick up the Velvet STS but with my regular STS already at +10 I don’t think I bothered investing in it.

    The Purple Lilies in the DLC are infinite they respawn in the south west tip of the map

    Now THIS I did not know, that’s great info. Thanks!

    Carian Grandeur/Sovereignty was very excellent and carried me through more than a couple fights - mostly against giants - but a lot of times, finding the time and space to wind up the entire home run hit just isn’t going to happen, in my experience. Especially if you, like me, did not build a muscle mage and can’t trade a hit with anyone without turning into paste. I got more general purpose use out of Hoarfrost Stomp and, weirdly, Spinning Weapon. I did not respect Spinning Weapon even the slightest bit for a very long time but one day I figured out exactly how good it is at status and stagger proc and then it became one of my top 5 most used ashes. Slap it on any cold or bleed weapon and get free procs for days.
