To cherry it you must beat all the tournaments without being defeated ever. On my best runs I was defeated at least once, and the most challenging runs (Yamada and Ayumi) I beat 4th and 5th opponents after half a dozen tries.

It’s still this way in the place where I live 😖

I hate nicotine so fucking much

These plastic bags are predators for the most part.

No way I’m going anywhere without my trans and lesbian flag pins!

You still need to reach NG++ to earn all miracles and pyromancy spells, thanks to two arena covenants.

Damn, I’m surprised to see a Lunacid post on Lemmy

I didn’t see any posts about this game so decided to make the first step myself!

Certain spells can be pretty OP throughout the game if you focus on your magic skills.

On my first playthrough I had a magic-focused character, and yeah, magic is extremely strong in this game! That’s why on my vampire run I decided to ban any attacking spells, to focus more on weapons.

My main problem with vampires was taking damage when using holy water - it’s really important in some areas like the prison (fucking dogs…), and not being able to just use it whenever I want was… annoying.

I don’t regret playing as a melee vampire, I learned to use blocking effectively (I basically never used it on my first playthrough) and the quirks were neat even if not really that impactful gameplay-wise.

I’m kinda working on collecting all the items so I can get the last ending.

Good luck with it!

Avoiding the skull isn’t much of a problem fortunately but sometimes it just sits there three or four reloadings and this is a bit irritating!

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\
