theres 1 curio

in that lake

and because iwent left at the start

i didnt find it until the end

err not curio

soak

...

do I have to run across it again

fuck

just go right

its not even good

just hug right

none of them are

Max

half the soaks are literally

"empower some random attack you'll never use"

they NAILED that feeling from Elden Ring

theres a soak that poisons you, and a soak that boosts your crit chance and your normal damage when youre poisned + cures poison

which i liked taking up two soak slots

to use

because its a funny combo because i expected them to not work togetehr

I have the poison one rn

but they made them work on purpose

which is pretty nice

and and if an enemy attacks you mid drinking it

the poison procs before the poison heal

so you can poison yourself if you get interuppted

which is funny

I like the heal over time effect, so I pretty much just maxed that out

maybe I'll play with an offensive soak later on

oh yeah did you catch that the headless guy

in act 2

is actually the bad guy

Rat man was really a good guy all along?

yes

the beetle is the buddhas mount

and because the peopel of the area stopped practicing buddhism he set the beetle free to torture them, so ratman (and you) capture the beetle

this pisses buddhaman off and he turns everyone into rats

if they want to worship a rat so much, they can all be rats

Like the nutshack movies

buddhism is full of corrupt people

is the issue

a true buddhist reaches realms beyond those who mimic its teachings

black myth wukong even has this lesson in it

you can't be a buddhist and vie for mortal delicacies

ratman gets driven into sadness that his own teacher would result to hurting everyone for not following buddhist teachings

ok MAx

you were right

the last phase of this wukong act 4 fight

goes hard

lol

the item you get from the secret quest completely deletes the phase btw

if its "too hard"

which i didnt learn until i did ng+

but i suspected it since every special relic item that goes in the bell/fire cloak slot

completely deletes a bosses phase

as like easy mode option

I'm glad I did it before finding that secret then

because it's a cool ass phase

well you have to use the item when he does the phase for it to happen

but yea

also Max, I was sad that the first fight was super cool with the daughters supporting

but then when you refight

they're gone

its unfortuante but

lore wise it makes sense

because every one of your deaths IS a real thing that happened ingame

I really want a boss rush mode

let me cope that this will be the first souls game that finally adds one

sekiro is calling

aka the best soulslike

is calling

the only one that has a boss rush

built into the game

with rewards

oh right, yeah they did add that

and new bosses at the end

wow crazy sekiro is the best

who coulda thunk it
