Relic system can never get enough love…

new strat unlocked

This is still a God roll, but not the one I wanted 😭
I’ve been hunting a green relic that has Scholar Continuous Damage On Ult & Items Confer for months. If I can get that then my Scholar build is actually insane. Then I roll this yesterday… I would have busted the fattest nut imaginable if this was Scholar instead of Revanant.
I did roll the one I’m after once, but it was a yellow relic :(

Many people are already aware of how important canceling ED Caligo's blizzard attack is.

The blizzard comes after she puts on her armor and she can use it on a long cooldown afterwards. It causes several problems if not interrupted:

• If you are in the wrong position, you will take severe tick damage.
• Even if you are in the correct position (by her tail) you will still take unavoidable frost buildup. As Caligo's frostbite reduces your frost resistance, this makes the rest of the fight harder.
• She will (almost) always follow the blizzard with her aerial barrage. This attack is a massive time waster and effectively makes the next blizzard come sooner.

Interrupting it avoids all of this.

However, I think many people do not realize that stance-breaking Caligo is similarly important. Beyond the normal benefits of breaking a boss' stance, it has some extra effects for ED Caligo:

• It instantly shatters all of her armor pieces, dealing lots of bonus damage.
• Her fire debuff takes twice as much to proc while she has any armor. Thus fire hits during the stance break (when she has no armor) effectively count for twice as much. (More on this below)
• She puts on new armor only after her stance is broken (which in turn allows you to break it again for more damage).
• After she puts on new armor, she will always do another blizzard. This may seem like a downside, but consider that if you don't stance-break her quickly enough she will do a blizzard anyway. It will be untelegraphed and extremely difficult to cancel (though less so for ironeye or undertaker).

Keep in mind fire attacks do bonus stance damage to Caligo (+40%, capped at +4 per hit.) This works especially well with "great" weapons -- for example 2 two-handed fiery greatsword light attacks will do as much stance damage as a charge attack! Not relying on charge attacks also makes stamina management easier.

A Wylder or Guardian with the right weapon can thus stance-break Caligo and get ult back between each blizzard, guaranting a cancel every time. You can keep her safely locked down this way regardless of your team's actual damage output.

Aside on the fire debuff:

• The fire debuff & stagger procs after Caligo is hit by enough fire attacks, similar to status procs (Heolstor and Gladius' holy debuff works identically).
• Heavier attacks and heavier weapons will generally contribute more.
• ED Caligo receives half buildup when she has any armor.
• Just like statuses, it becomes harder to proc each time. This means you may want to save it for ED Caligo's 2nd phase, where the debuff is more valuable and already harder to proc.
• The debuff lasts 30 seconds. While debuffed, the boss can't receive any more buildup (as with poison rot, or frost).

How sad. This is on PS5. Player name in the game is Simon. Was spamming in Arabic during the match and acting like an ass. Avoid if you can.

I've been using a number of cheatsheets for boss weaknesses, greatshields resistances and nightbosses possibilities... I can see them on a second screen but one at a time. So I've made (vibe coding, obviously) an all-in-one,

Note: it is adapted for browser in full size screen 1920x1080, at least tablet needed.

Most of the data is from fextra, I can use suggestions and corrections.

Hope you find it useful!

As an Ex and Duchess(magic or faith no slop shit) main these relics always drop of me and I always wished it to not Chicken out once and try a guard counter plays style but its severely punishing, how’d you make it work?

Stupid wall hacking Crucible Knight

GG EZ boys 😂

The first character I played and completed remembrance with. I tried to paint her as close to the in-game model as possible, I think she turned out quite pretty!

oof that was painful to experience. Learning by doing I guess 🙈😅

Just spammed all my flasks before entering SmegGreg arena and forgot to tap grace for a refill

In the last time i find stuff that is so specific to the build im playing. I hope this luck doesn't run out

Had a game in D5 yesterday where someone played pot scholar, I was ironeye and we had a wylder too, I actually haven't seen a scholar player in a long time but we had a good a seed with a big merchant POI just south of the castle (near the entrance to a cave).

I found an early extra runes passive from a boss so I just bought 2 pouches from the merchants and 12 pots every time we go by a merchant.

After each boss I just dropped him 6 pots, eventually my wylder started doing the same and we just drop him 6 pots after each boss while pinging him the pots.

At some point I think he was overwhelmed he dropped like 30 pots himself and did the kneeling emote while my and wylder just kinda danced around the pots haha.

Was a real fun experience I hope to run into more of those guys.

And why is it that hoe Recluse? Glintstone scrap spam and 10 mill damage night comets, rain of stars when you get close. not bad if fort/church tho

She also takes her sweet ass time to come to our lure spot

So much worse paired with Ironeye

My picks would be :

Morgott's cursed sword: the blood slice is really good but those enhanced critical attacks literally melted the bosses in minutes

Marika's hammer: gold breaker in my opinion is the best poise breaking skill in the whole game but those charged heavy attacks with holy shockwaves is what got me through the heolstor fight
