The jangled skeletons guarding the entrance to Shart’s Hollow have a 1/100 chance of dropping a Putrid Shart Shard. If you combine 12 of them, you can craft a rare opposite-handed Bambieshart Brocade that, when dual wielded, gives a stacked 0.09% boost to critical hits. This strategy is crucial to my main build that is just the two brocades and a Grisly Thong, for aesthetic purposes.

Don't give up, Skeleton!

"whaoa dude the lore is so sick dude like the wiki explains how bambieshart was actually an agent of the glimmer knights and was actually killed by an opposing faction dude if you go to the wall precisely after killing the ice queen boss you can drop down a ledge to where the wall would collapse him and seal it dude this lore is so epic"

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

And that information was extrapolated from 10 different item, weapon and armor descriptions

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 47 points 2 weeks ago

What nobody really talks about is that if you use the dogshit during the jabberwock fight exactly when it is bryllyg, it will apply the slithy status effect, which causes it to fail to gyre and gimble (you know the one), it rewards you with two lines of secret dialogue that completely recontextualizes the entire borogove arc.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago

If you're playing on build 75022[JA], the Jabberwock can only be found during real-life full moon days.

It really ties in with the lore of the Forsaken Scklorgh

The problem is that you talked to Bambieshart before encountering Lotherad's Hound. If you'd waited until after that fight, he would have given you Bambieshart's Shattered Urn, which you could give to Herrigold in the Dying Swamp for Kneivel's Sisters, the best weapon in the game

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

The best weapon in new game+, maybe. Have you seen the stat requirements on that thing?

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You were supposed to level up only strength. If you leveled up anything else, you're doing it wrong.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago

Anon got filtered by the Tree Guardian and is coping

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 33 points 2 weeks ago

Dies, you pick up their items, it's dogshit

This part is true tho

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I remember my 2nd play through of elden ring. I found patches in shaded castle, gave me a letter or something, then died.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

A paragraph and a half in, and my brain urinated on itself. I saw words, but few of them made sense. Not to say the greentext wasn't good. I'm just an old Gen X, unfamiliar with the way the kids talk these days.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 54 points 2 weeks ago

It's about a Nintendo called Elden Ring.

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Ohh is that on the Microsoft Nintendo or the Sony Nintendo?

[-] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 9 points 2 weeks ago

I believe it's the one that you plug in the telly

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Are you some kind of tech-whizz?

[-] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 5 points 2 weeks ago

I am, thanks for noticing ! Even have the little pointy hat and all

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

How would I know? My grandkids play on that damn thing!

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

It's about how some video games do this thing where the lore is barely explained in cryptic sentences by the few characters, and basically you need an online wiki to understand anything about the story of the game.

The games most gilty of this are the fark souls franchise. Good games, but I hate this kind of lore.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Great for ludonarrative harmony, but absolute ass for being an adult with responsibilities and understanding what's going on

[-] birdwing 6 points 1 week ago

Bro I have to thank you for making me laugh irl, a brain urinating on itself. I nearly spat out my drink

[-] affenlehrer@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Same but Gen Y

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 18 points 2 weeks ago

And somehow there is a 1.5 hour lore video by VaatiVidya about this character and it has 7.5M views.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 week ago

this ranks with Ozymandias for it's eloquence

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Jabberwocky reference tho

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No! My consecrated shmungous! I'll have to wait until New Game+ to get those again (he only gives you two, according to the wiki)

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

The only game I could roughly follow was Elden Ring. The others I didn’t even bother to try, inscrutable messes all.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

why have so few people read famous poems?

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Not everyone is into them. I like some poems, but they're not really super interesting to me. I don't dismiss them as an art form, and appreciate they exist, but I don't get much out of just reading them. I prefer poetic language in music I guess, though I'm not into poems enough to fully identify those. I know I like songs that tell an interesting narrative with unusual words etc, but dunno if they qualify as poems.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ironically ‘Jabberwocky’ was published as part of a prose novel.

[-] Buffy@libretechni.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Instant classic.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I agree with anon here. This dumb shit is why I don't even bother getting into the fantasy genre. I just want to play and be entertained, and not have to study an intricate world with layers upon layers of deep lore without completely fucking up my progress.

[-] underscores@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

my impression is that the OP is making fun of souls games for masking shallow dialogue with cumbersome vocabulary

[-] peanuts4life 1 points 1 week ago

I got elden ring recently. Played it for maybe 4 hours so far. I am utterly convinced that the narrative style is tounge and cheek. Like, actually a joke. That isn't to say it's not deep, or interesting on face value, but it's just so immediate; such a firehose of wackyness... It reminds me of metalgear, so much in its way of being simultaneously non-serious and serious.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't be surprised; I do enjoy self-aware humor. MGS on PS1 was a fun one.
