Yeah, it's fully upgraded. I'm on Ultra Hard though. I'll play around with it some more.
I hadn't even thought of doing that. lol
Tie him down. Ice Damage him with either the arrows or sling. Then blow him to kingdom come with the sling. But tie him down with the Ropecaster. That'll really limit his mobility.
On Ultra Hard. It's 50 shards for 1 Blaze. Nah son. Not gonna pay that. Especially with the high price of the Adept weapons. 6k plus bluegleam PLUS the Frostclaw/Fireclaw requirements.
.... the dlc got release a few weeks ago.... what do you think, lol.
I love this intro to Frozen Wild, You start off on ICE and by the time the scorcher let off so much fire he melts the ice and now you're knee deep in the pond.
This is exactly what I feared. That no matter how strong your weapons you'll just get overwhelmed by it.
Yep. Now I have to grind in order to keep ammo for al the "good" weapons like the sling and DLC weapons. AND to top it all of. You dont get any good modifications either.
Uhm. Get lost.
Thanks. I always worry there are tips, like don't level up resistance in Dark Souls.
Believe so, yeah. Prefer it this way too, I feel like they've done what they can within this framework and I'm eagerly looking forward to a sequel.
I love how your post so quickly changes in terms of tone. It's great. It goes from "oh, this is super easy" to "oh fuck, I can't do this"! I hope that this doesn't come off as schadenfreude but it gave me a good laugh. Maybe I'll encounter this same situation as well when I complete the main game on Ultra Hard. I've done Very Hard and it wasn't hard to the point that I grew irritated but the Frozen Wilds is another story- it really put my Soulsbourne evasive skills to the test. I wouldn't dare trek through that on Ultra Hard. Scorchers, Fireclaws and Frostclaws all nearly one shot you WITH the Ultraweave on Very Hard so I can only imagine the misery of attempting to complete TFW and it's timed hunting ground challenges. But don't give up! I'm sure you can overcome it.
The only things that need work are the melee combat and enemy AI. Everything else in the framework is top notch
Traversal could use some work too. AC Origins climbing mechanics might not be a bad place to start for reference. I'd also love for them to lean more into choice and consequence in dialogue and side quest design. The DLC does a great job of establish better side characters in both the main quest line and side quests, so i think if they keep along that direction it'll be awesome.
Yep. I was going to try that with the three Frostclaws but man that didn't work. I had to be a bit more finesse and use my Tripcaster which I hadn't used in ages. Just lured them into traps and man did that work great.
Ok, traversal did slip my mind. I think AC:O and BotW proved that we should steer away from handholding in the open world game space and instead make the world truly explorable for players. I liked the dialog and how it didn't really change interactions with most npc's. I think there's maybe 2 npc's in the game whose lives will take drastic turns if you choose a certain response. Hopefully if they do go that route all throughout the next game, hopefully there'll be some type of predictor that will tell you how your responses will change the present situation.
