Deep beneath the soil, a buried kingdom lies, trapped in time. What purpose kept these fallen cities so eternal, their denizens' gaze raised staunchly in defiance? Amidst stagnation and ruin, sparks of hope yet linger; treasures that promise redemption to a lost people.

For DS3 it seems quite apparent that it's Spears, Halberds and Scythes which have separate atkparams for "shaft" hits. DS2 is said to have a very restrictive sweet spot mechanic for scythes where wrong positioning will lose tons of damage. For DeS and DS1 I'm finding zero evidence so far.

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 21/06/2026

DeS halberd attacks do have "multiple hitboxes" with a bigger one at the tip, but they belong to a single AtkParam, and I don't see any fields that would cause these hitboxes to deal different damage somehow.

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 21/06/2026

The param for the Master's Ring in DeS suggests it's just weak spot damage, so headshots and stuff?? So this sweet spot thing is made up, or online is full of misinfo.

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 21/06/2026

I only put a cursory glance in AtkParam_Pc for DS1 and DS3 and found nothing of note there, neither separate param rows nor particular fields. I guess DSAS would visualize it.

darksouls.wikidot.com/sweetspot demonssouls.wikidot.com/terminology This "sweet spot" page on the DS1 wikidot, and the "Direct Hit" term on the Demon's Souls wikidot. Both are talking about different things; an attack dealing more damage if it a) hits at a certain time b) hits with a specific part.

@illusorywall.bsky.social Apparently there's a sweet spot mechanic in the Souls games and I've never heard about it in my life until now?? Sounds like something that needs an episode from you. People are divided on whether it's timing-based or positioning-based, and online info is very scarce.

There are five million billion "it's not just x, it's y", "rule of three" and similar common phrases penned by AI. Sometimes it lines them up three in a row. It's really ghastly and left a really bad taste in my mouth; I quite enjoyed those videos before I took notice...

@eddtv.bsky.social Hey, did you ever make any disclosure about AI use anywhere? Your latest video is extremely rife with common AI phrases.

Since it came up on Reddit and I observed it myself trying to port her outfit to ER before: Recluse is SIGNIFICANTLY slimmer than the Tarnished, and so even a chest of identical size would be considered a much higher cup size on her. So I'm afraid this isn't quite right.

Further Codex improvements: You may now sort entries alphabetically, which eschews taxological and variant-based sorting for a simpler way to find the entries you need. There is also a new setting for viewing only the lore page, without the stats, to soak in the newly added writings and images.

One of the features of the upcoming update: New graphics for sorcery scrolls! Like each incantation scroll has a uniquely textured, detailed parchment scroll expressing the school's identity, sorceries in Reforged will soon receive the same treatment. A passion project by team member Pine.

@encifer.bsky.social Hey, I've been greatly enjoying WitchHand. Did you have any kind of "post mortem" or breakdown of it anywhere? I'm particularly curious how it was made, what engine etc.!

120

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 03/03/2025

To clarify, the framerate drop is specifically when the VFX (burning rubble, smoke) appear which were removed in v1.03. So, particularly those parts which affect performance, are also the same ones that were changed.

010

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 03/03/2025

When bringing the v1.02 files of Morgott's intro cutscene to the current version of the game, everything appears as it should. However, when you enable Raytracing, suddenly the cutscene grinds to a halt at 2 FPS. I imagine this to be the real reason for the change; a bandaid fix for the poor RT.

Duke's Dear Freja looks notably higher-poly than in DS2 in that one screenshot we got, with smooth, curved barbs that were just simple triangles in the original.

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 12/02/2025

I am quite curious about those little icons on the landmarks in the Nightreign map. One is the icon for the Fire weapon affinity, the other is the icon for the Death Blight status. What are they signifying? Are they about enemies you encounter, or rewards you receive?

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 12/02/2025

Modders will have to wait for backports to regular ER until the actual game comes out on PC, then. Thankfully that's not too long.

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 12/02/2025

I suppose this means that it's unlikely for the CNT files to be extractable for a while?

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 05/02/2025

It is sort of curious that this appears to be the only place in the game that you wearing a torch is actually relevant, outside of the special Sentry's Torch.

120

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 05/02/2025

The same scarab is now relocated to the ruins nearby and no longer has special requirements for viewing it, but in 1.00 it used to require equipping a torch to see it.

110

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 05/02/2025

Looking for ways that the Torch is utilized in ELDEN RING, I found a location behind Caria Manor that checks whether you have the Torch equipped, upon which it reveals a hidden enemy. The enemy has since been cut, but in the 1.0 version of the map, it's revealed to be a scarab with Chilling Mist.

Ack, I've made myself scarce here; truth be told, despite me following lots and lots of people who share my interest, I've not really reliably had cool and relevant content delivered to my porch. Followed a million JP artists, and yet there's no art, just EN banter. Huh...

What I expect of ELDEN RING lore discourse, loretuber videos etc. moving forward. Clear statements of non-canonicity are unlikely to penetrate tinfoil or stop somebody from drawing up an unhinged mind map.

The Future Press guide for ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree also continues to call the NPC miniboss "Blackgaol Knight" despite him being fully renamed to "Knight of the Solitary Gaol" in-game. Another indicator that Future Press isn't an official source.

031

ivi @ividyon.hisui.moe · 24/10/2024

Looks like the enemy type we've called Catacombs Sorcerer is named "Catacomb Conjurer" in the Future Press guide. Not sure why, given that it uses the same words for "Catacomb" and "Sorcerer" that are respectively used in "Catacombs Skeleton" and "Glintstone Sorcerer"...
