Oh dear, I didn't realise how long it has been since I visited the forum. This thread has flown! There is a lot to catch up on.

I had a play on DD the other night and encountered both Shinon and Shinon-Lite! Arthur didn't know which way to turn!



And @Apophis - your pawn rocks!



I have registered with the pawn community and have linked the PS3 account, but I cannot upload my Xbox screenshots from Facebook, even though I linked my account. It said that there were no screenshots, yet I have an album *scratches head*

Shinon™ Now with half the snark.

There's a malfunction with the XBox screenshot sharing.

@Newschmoo - I tried to send you a friend request on the PSN, but I think I typed your gamertag wrong. Oops. I will resend once able, or if you wish, you can send me an invite...gamertag is the same as my name here. Nice to see you back!

[Apophis4321]

Hey Cold, all I would ask in Bitterblack loot is some weapons. If you can get the higher level weapons that would be cool, but level 1 stuff would be okay.

In return, since I'm currently trying to dragon forge all my armor for Lunaria, I'll give you every Bitterblack Armor I find. Sound like a good trade?

[Apophis4321]

In other news, I've discovered my best vocation in Bitterblack. Magic Archer doesn't suit me because sadly, I would have to use a staff and a bow to really use it well, since my daggers kinda suck. I love my melee weapons.

So I chose Mystic Knight, and learned the glory of Great Cannon on the Dark Bishop. It was gloriously brutal with Lunaria, Chase, and Umbaroth (Friend Pawn who loves healing.)


Also, do you want me to change my pawn back to her higher level armor? I changed it up because I want to try to get a fully red clothed character for fun.

Also, I'm buying up all the armor you can find in Gransys, so I can dragon forge them all. Is there an achievement for that I wonder?

@Apophis4321 - I will be more than happy to send you some weapons, but I have yet to get many myself so far. I keep getting quite a few armor drops though. Since I haven't finished out the first Daimon form (because I am trying to farm some crafting items that rarely show up, after you beat the main storyline), I haven't had access to farming lvl.3 weapon/armor yet.

For right now, the only thing I really need is crafting items for goldforging. Maybe we should look through what we have, and see where we can help each other out on crafting items. Once I have a few more crafting pieces, I'll finish off Daimon, and start farming lvl.3 weapons/armor.

Gotcha ya. I'm going to go to some different areas in Bitterblack since that stupid Bishop hasn't respawned yet. OR the Giant Evil Eye. Ugh. So what crafting pieces do you need?

[Apophis4321]

....Cold, you need to teach your pawn to stop trying to assassinate people. It's getting creepy. This she woke up two Gorecyclops and laughed manaically as I was killed.

To quickly respawn him, head to Gransys and rest for five days. Time doesn't pass on BBI, so resting there won't work.


Edit: Ack, forgot to welcome back Newschmoo! Thomas is still knockin' about, being awesome. Getting a little close with Arya - perhaps a little too close, as he seems to have stepped on her foot.


edit: They've fixed the xbox issue on Pawn Community...at least, it seems like they have gotten halfway... the screenshots come through, but you can't actually see which ones they are... I've currently got 5 shots available to upload, only knowing that three are from Cassardis, one's from the Tainted Mountain, and the other's in Gran Soren. Hopefully they're not Shep-Brand Crazy, because I'm uploading them all.

...I uploaded them, they resulted in empty images. Now, that could have been because I deleted some photos from my album - now when I save them to photobucket/flickr, I remove them from my album, as it's gotten laptop-crashingly huge. The Pawn Community may have been trying to get those shots, resulting in the broken images.

Gotta say, one of the best things about DD:DA on the PS3, is the screenshots upload to your PS3 hard drive. Booya, Xbox live/DD:DA/FB-stupid "Share" button!

lol!

Sorry....very childish of me. But it is rather nice knowing I can get any shot, anytime.

Need to take M!Chase for a spin. He needs a wardrobe change. I can only guess how filthy and foul he has become....

@Apophis4321 - That's the craziness, that is Chase. She always goes after Condemned GoreCyclops. She figures, "Hey, there chained up. What the hell can they do....ACK!!!" >.<

BTW, are you currently "post-Daimon", in BBI? If not, then that may be why the Bishop and Gazer are not respawning. If you are post Daimon, they yeah.....what @Shepenwepet said.

.......am I hallucinating, or am I really seeing Thomas' face??

Oh... that makes sense. I'll go back to Gransys at once then. Didn't want to kill Daimon anyway.

Also, I was trying to fight Daimon, and Chase, being completely nuts, decideds to jump on Daimons back and smack him with a stick. I think you need to fix that before things blow up Cold.

[coldwetn0se]

LOL....She takes after her master. (Both of my Arisens do most of their killing on top of said beasties. I generally fight "up close and personal". lol!!). Her current Inclinations though, have Challenger set as Primary. And she doesn't have any skill/augments that focus on close quarter fighting....silly AI mechanics. heh!

I am going to be switching her up here in a bit. Will have her level up some as a Ranger, then as a Warrior. Want to raise Strength, Stamina and Defense (for her level, she is good for both Magick attack and Magick Defense, but sadly lacking on those other three....the price she pays for being the first pawn, and me not knowing what I was doing back in 2012. LOL!)

In some good news, I got some gear I could send you. Give me a sec, since I turned of my PS3 so it couid cool down.

[coldwetn0se]

LOL! Okay, I think I see the problem with f!Chase. Her Inclinations DID switch (which can happen, when your Arisen takes on certain fighting styles, and uses the commands a lot.....which I admit, I have been using more often. XD ). She is now Scather/Challenger. BUT, I just switched her to Ranger, which is a very appropriate set of Inclinations for that vocation.

Very generous of you. Thanks! I still have Lunaria in my company, at the moment. I am going through to the Sparyard of Scant Mercy. Once I am done with that, I will send her back with some goodies.

Ok so I played a bit this afternoon and have inadvertantly just gone on to do New Game Plus.  Didn't realise when I handed over tose 20 Wakestone shards it be so final.  Oops


Still totally worth though.  Just got the Hydra Head back to Gran Soren. Not sure if I should speedy run through the main quest to get to the Everfall again or just go straight into the expansion.

What level are you at now? I haven't been on the Xbox for a few days, so I am not caught up. If you feel you need a little more leveling up, then rushing back to the Everfall, is a fine idea. However, nothing wrong with heading BBI and starting it. You don't need to finish it in one go. You can do a few quests in vanilla Gransys, then do a room or two in the Labyrinth on BBI. You can always Liftstone back to the entrance of the island, and go back to Gransys, if things get too dicey.

[CuriousArtemis]

I think CC is at about level 60-something.

BBI will crush you 

Just kidding, well, maybe a little bit :innocent:

Yeah im level 65,  on that advice guess I will do a little more levelling.  Or I may at least scope out the area

 Yes, do as Coldy says and just play around the area a bit. Make sure you have a liftstone. And remember you can always run for the door!!!!!

I will say no more; BBI is a treat that must be experienced firsthand without spoilers. :innocent:

Thanks for letting me know.  I will try the pawn community tomorrow.  I have to admit I have had trouble uploading the shots onto FB from the Xbox, as the error message kept coming up. I think I managed just one screenshot today.

 

Edit: Ack, forgot to welcome back Newschmoo! Thomas is still knockin' about, being awesome. Getting a little close with Arya - perhaps a little too close, as he seems to have stepped on her foot.

Aww thanks! Thomas - what a clumsy clot!  I think he has an unrequited crush on Arya!

@coldwetn0se - heh heh!  I have partially covered Thomas' face with an eyepatch now, but I think he is missing his hat! He likes to hide behind things. I will send you a friend request on PS.  I am only on level 18 on there!

I am now trying to fight re-awakened Daimon.  I defeated the first form with help from Woolie and Chase.  But the 2nd form, man he's hard:huh:  I managed to get him down to four lives before Arthur bit the dust.  Unfortunately Woolie got sucked into the vortex.  I cannot play anymore tonight.  My hand aches!  Any tips gratefully received !

Jump on his face and stab it. And bring periapts. Lots of periapts.

Here is my best advice for taking down Awakened Daimon: Jump on his chest and smack the hell outta him!. LOL!

Here are more precise steps:

1) The three vocations I find the most useful (though they are not the only ones, of course), are Magick Archer, Ranger, and Assassin.

2)Magick Archer works well to get the first form taken out, with Ninefold bolt, then you have your daggers for jumping on his second form's chest/face, and slashing away. Ranger and Assassin allow you to use Blast Arrows, which take down both forms pretty quick. Since I never bring enough blast arrows though, I just use them to take out his First Form, then use the "jump on chest/face" and whack him to death.

3) Since clinging to him, and killing him with hundred kisses or dire gourge work so well, using both Opportunism and Adhesion, in your Augment slots are well worth it.

4) Periapts are your friend. Bring lots. If you are using a weapon that is enchanted, then remember to bring Demon Periapts along with the usual Conquerer Periapts. Stack four at a time. (often I wait till I am clinging to him, then I pause stack the periapts, take a Liquid Vim, unpause and wail on the sucker. LOL!)

5) Liquid Vims. Staminal Drenches, mushrooms.....etcetera.

6) Watch for the signs for when he is getting ready to do his Vortex of Death move. Move well away from him, and use the "come" command on the pawns. Then start using range attacks to disrupt the spell, or garner damage till he is finished with the spell. Take advantage of the fact that it seems to wear him out a bit. If a pawn starts getting stuck in the vortex, pause the screen and apply Demon periapts if you are a Magick Archer, or Conqueror Periapts if you are a Ranger or Assassin. Then start using the bows to disrupt his Vortex spell. It takes a while for a Pawn to get sucked completely in (usually), so often you can break the spell before the pawn succumbs.

Seriously though, if you use the periapts, liquid vims, ninefold bolt/blast arrows, and jump on his face/chest to slash the hell out of him, he honestly will go down in a matter of minutes (some times even less than that). No joke. Take a look at some YT vids, if you want to see this in action.

Looking forward to the invite. Will give your pawn some "training".

If I remember right, Daimon is susceptible to lowered defense, so Sapfire Daggers could be pretty useful.
You could also hire this guy. I think he could help you.
