How to Turn Demon's Souls into Pure Suffering - Area of Effect Attacks Only at SL1 on NG+
Рет қаралды 118,298
Күн бұрынCan You beat Demon's Souls using only AOE spells on SL1 NG+? Well, this turned out to be one of the hardest Challenge run I've ever done. Even though Demon's Souls is often regarded as the easiest souls game, I tried to see how difficult could I make it by only using AOE spells at SL1 on NG+ (except for Storm King obviously) And wow... did I get more than I bargained for... God's wrath is only a meager sneeze with this little faith and requires you to refill your MP bar after every single cast. Firestorm is not usable at all at SL1 and poison/death cloud does single digit damage per tick. And the infamous poison cloud cheese strats with the thief's ring to make bosses lose agroe, are tedious and boring so I did not allow myself to make use of those.

17:50 i remember watching the full version of this fight, trying to think of why this is, and if i am right, the hit detection for the miracle is a single sphere, rather than multiple sphres used in later titles. because the spell is AOE, bosses have different parts that can take damage separately and Wrath of God can only hit an enemy once, it is coded to only allow the first hit detected. long story short; the detection sphere is hitting something else first so the damage isn't coming through; like hitting the arm instead of the belly wound or a shoulder before the bird.

I think the problem with the adjudicator is when the AOE begins it spreads outwards from the character in a circle, and the moment it hits a target it does the damage, but only once, it cannot hit multiple times on the same entity, so the fact that your character was too close to an impervious spot than any of the weak spots counted the AOE as just hitting the immune part of the boss thus dealing no damage. So if your radius at the end of the cast was closer to the weak spot than any other part of the boss it would deal damage instead of being a whiff. Love the vids btw :)

15:34 I think the hit detection is based on which part of the body you hit first, which normally even with an AoE shouldn't be all that difficult but the Adjudicator has specific and strict weak points which makes it nearly impossible to reliably hit. There are also other shenanigans I'm not sure i could even attempt to describe though

Not sure if you remember me, but years ago I commented on a video that the way you speak sounded fake. I went back to that video to comment today, but I wanted to do it here too since I assume you don't really check old comments. After rewatching that video, I think my point was still valid, but: 1. As you said back then, people don't really care, I was simply being nitpicky. It wasn't nearly as bad as I made it out to be. I was being hormonal, sorry. 2. Years later of watching your content passively, I've noticed that you've also significantly improved further as well. So all in all, I'm sorry for being an asshole. I'm glad my comment didn't discourage you. Thank you for the fun content, I love watching your videos to relax, and keep on pressing continue king!

I think what's happening with Adjudicator is that most of his body is invulnerable and spells can usually only hit a target once, so when cast Wrath of Gods it registers the hit against his blubber first a lot of the time. Since spells can only hit once the blubber hit does no damage and you don't score a hit against his bird or wound.

I think I know why Adjudicator was such a hassle. Essentially, the boss is one model with three areas that can be hit: the body, the blade that impales the body, and the bird. For an AoE, whatever it hits first is what takes the hit. The reason why the bird was never hit was because a part of the body was always closer unless it was bent over.
