I'm dealing 33 damage to Quelaag on a strong attack. 50 with the RTSR, but then I die if I step in lava, and that gets a touch unavoidable occasionally because these things have no range.

Dark Souls, SL10 dual caestus edition. Pflehthethe.

Spoiler: Maybe some early xcom2 spoilers.  Blacksite #1 (click to show/hide)

Playing XCOM2 first mission against a blacksite.  I did this mission plenty of times, usually my xcom program getting wiped out sometime after.  But I hadn't played in awhile and now I have a bunch of DLC, including a fancy little johnny-5 looking robot and some fight against a bunch of vipers.

So first blacksite mission, I open up the door to the main room, where you encounter your first enemy mec.  Fighting starts, I think I got this sorted.  My soldiers are higher level than I usually am at this point thanks to the addon content giving me a few more missions early. Then right when I'm feeling confident, who patrols into view behind my squad but the Viper King himself. ...fuck.  This is essentially 2 boss fights in one, and the viper king is a significantly more fearsome opponent than that damn mec.

The mission turns into a total party kill.  Absolute slaughter.  If the viper king wasn't grabbing and coiling folks the viper that spawned with him was.  I needed to keep overwatch up to shoot the viper king every time he got a free turn, but the mec and it's adds were flanking my people like nobody's business because I couldn't take cover from the viper king AND the mec, AND the mech's adds, AND the add viper.

You don't need to take the mission that you first find the Viper King immediately; it doesn't go away, and neither does Shen's Last Gift. In my first playthrough I was well into 2nd tier weapons and armor before taking on both missions, and the extra damage and durability helps a ton. In addition, later on when you get Psi-operatives, their Stasis move is a godsend against Rulers. A flashbang will disorient the Ruler for a few of their actions and thus lock them into shooting or melee for that time. The freezing grenade you get from Alien Hunters also locks the rulers in place for a bit.

Things were already going poorly (waiting 1-2 hours for cloning because the researchers were dumbasses who didn't know how to do anything). The XO decided to call the Rasputin back up with a load of xenos on board 'cause he's smart like that.

Things went decently well. We killed a Queen and cornered them in engineering with two sentry guns covering the main exit. Then some moron grenaded the sentries. Things fell apart, I was fucked up from acid burns and (predictably) being shot in the back. Some corpsman from Alpha dragged me off while I faded in and out, trying to get me up. We got caught in the hall by medical, a Hunter and Runner pounced him. About half a second later I managed to stand up and whip out the SMG I had on my armor (lost the shotgun back in the hanger, and we were long since out of rifle ammo) and sprayed them down. He got back up, we ran for cloning, and he buzzed us through the door, but a Praetorian downed him and a Runner pried open the door from the morgue. So, the predictable happened. Shame I didn't have time to pull the grenade I had.



Oh, and the admins forced three Iron Bear raids that round because Xenos weren't winning hard enough. And that was after the goddamn incompetents kept us from being cloned.

SS13, Colonial Marines. Goddamn five hour round.

I got killed way too many times by the Gamma Metroid.

I can't stand enemies that are just giant hurtboxes that sit on top of you until you die. The Alpha Metroids were already a borderline example, but they're so small and their arenas so large that it's possible to make them overshoot. The Gamma fight was in a hallway, with barely any room to get underneath it and hit the weakpoint.

Accidentally wandered into a patch of grass while breeding pokes and not paying attention.  I instantly realized that I forgot to have my flame body fletchinder leading my party, (which would increase the hatch speed of eggs, as well as be able to handle everything near the nursery), and instead had a recently hatched lv 1 Alomomola. 

I failed to run repeatedly and the Champion got his ass kicked by a lv 12 Miltank.

Sent my henchman to try and disable a trapped chest in the catacombs underneath a graveyard.  Unfortunately, she failed and the MASSIVE EXPLOSION TRAP exploded massively, dropping me to 5 health and dropping my henchman to well into the -20s.  In fact, I think it might've completely incinerated my henchman to the point where even the light of Tyr cannot revive her and I couldn't find her anywhere.
D'oh well, henchmen are cheap and plentiful in the city of Neverwinter.

The Act 1 graveyard? What difficulty are you at?

Wait, the Flame Body poke needs to be at the front of the party? I thought it just had to be *in* the party.

[Akura]

Pretty sure just in the party. On the other hand, his entire party might have been eggs(and Alomomola), so he would not have had anything else *to* lead.

You do receive a PokeDoll from Lillie as she leaves, so you could have tossed that to escape. But I'd honestly never do that myself. Not that doll.

You'd need to be some sort of heartless monster to throw away that Pokedoll.

I buffed up my Coast Watcher with a spell that both boosted its Intelligence and gave it the Protect buff. I was going to use its strongest AoE (at least I think it counts as one as it hits multiple enemies) buy a Horror Hound somehow killed it. This was bad because the Coast Watcher is my primary damage dealer so I haven't really prepared for the occasions where it dies, and so the enemies wiped the rest of my team out pretty easily.

Siralim 2, I'm not smart enough to do the really cool and complex stuff but I really enjoy this game. I recommend it.

The Act 1 graveyard? What difficulty are you at?

It should be the default difficulty, and I only survived because I've gotten amazing rolls when leveling up.  70 HP at level 5 is amazing.

[itisnotlogical]

Ah, you must be doing things in a different order and the traps must be levelled. I went to Beggar's Nest second, and Tomi Undergallows hasn't had a problem disabling traps yet.

Do you have Sharwyn? She's pretty lame at lockpicking, and she never even tried to disable traps for me.

I also did beggars nest second, after doing the peninsula district.  I had switched to Sharwyn from Tomi, just to try something different, and she was the one who bit the dust.
