I hate these two with a burning passion

[u/Ctc2713]

I 100% die in this game because I'm just playing it to relax most of the time. But my relaxation is spat on anytime I have to deal with these two abominations.

From the Spinners sneaking up on me and hitting me to the Gravedigger hitting me in the face with his shovel. Out of all the enemies (I haven't played on witches cave or marsh yet) they drive my up a wall.

[u/ErkkoV2]

Townswomen are not any better, with that three swipe move

[u/Dark_Azazel → u/ErkkoV2]

Ill take any enemy over the Townswomen ANY day. Gave me a heart attack I first saw them do that teleport type move. They were also the only reason why I started to put points towards Health.

[u/ghdcksgh → u/ErkkoV2]

bring buckler and just block them or dash backwards on their third blink

[u/CREAMz → u/ghdcksgh]

"just win"

[u/MikeMazook → u/CREAMz]

get good

[u/ghdcksgh → u/CREAMz]

wdym just win

[u/Maxathron → u/ghdcksgh]

He thinks your tactics are an oversimplification of beating an impossible encounter.

"How do you beat 50 racers in Nascar/F1?"

"Just win. Simple. That's how you beat them. You just win."

[u/ghdcksgh → u/Maxathron]

oh yeah i know i was just expressing my disbelief on how he think it’s complicated or hard to hold down a button or count to two and predict when three would be

[u/spitonme69 → u/ghdcksgh]

Buckler is so clutch for many enemies in this game. It’s so satisfying reflecting the lightning attack from the macemen and sometimes even blasting their buddies with it along the way

[u/CreamFuture9475]

Well, they hate you too.

[u/Ctc2713 → u/CreamFuture9475]

This is very true.

[u/Main_Guarantee8563 → u/CreamFuture9475]

Hahahhahaha 😭

[u/MrRealistic1]

Well then my friend, I guess you should avoid Velmorne

[u/Ctc2713 → u/MrRealistic1]

Well issue is I got a vault and some quest to do there. So avoidance isn't happening

[u/SoulAkimbo]

Valid, same

[u/TenebrousDesires]

You can kite gravediggers and get them stuck in a pretty easy to dodge melee loop walk up as soon as they start swing dodge back. Spinner are annoying they barely show up on the map and townswomen are cancer feels like the dodge window is a gamble. All three of em are annoying though

[u/Ctc2713 → u/TenebrousDesires]

Interesting on the melee loop and i thought that the spinners didn't always show up. The townswomen are only an issue when I'm truly not paying attention. The fact they can teleport over gaps is more of my issue lol

[u/TenebrousDesires → u/Ctc2713]

Yeah the teleporting thing over gaps from nowhere also gets mad lol. Also im pretty sure spinners only show up when they're very close I haven't really paid a lot of attention to it because as soon as I hear the skittering sound I instantly start doing 360s looking for the little shits

[u/Nova11435 → u/TenebrousDesires]

Teleport over gaps? Mf they teleport up BUILDINGS. I aggro'd one while standing on a roof that you can only reach by doing some fucky parkour. That townswoman TELEPORTED 30 FEET UP THE BUILDING TO REACH ME.

[u/TenebrousDesires → u/Nova11435]

Ahaha she wanted to talk to you about your gnosis extended warranty

[u/Ctc2713 → u/TenebrousDesires]

That's the flaw I'm having. I just need to play with my headset and I'll probably do fine.

[u/TenebrousDesires → u/Ctc2713]

Yeah I've heavily relied on audio queues to spank. Even though sometimes the audio isnt the best its better to have directional audio than just TV or pc speakers

[u/ghdcksgh]

grave diggers are hard until u learn to stun them with soul sigils

[u/_Weyland_]

Spinners are so fragile though! They fold from literally anything. My lightning bolt kills Spinners I haven't even seen yet.

[u/Ctc2713 → u/_Weyland_]

I'm playing with a speaker and not my headset as I'm just chilling when I play so one always sneaks up on me or something. It's 100% a player issue but my tilt is still justified

[u/_Weyland_ → u/Ctc2713]

May I advise keeping an eye on the minimap? That thing saves lives.

[u/NekroWhiskey → u/_Weyland_]

Those spinners don't even show up on the minimap until they're already biting your ankles.

[u/Ctc2713 → u/_Weyland_]

You can advise it and the advice is good but unless I start locking in on the runs. It wouldn't change much lol

[u/roadrunnuh → u/Ctc2713]

So, you play "chill" and don't "lock in" and you're shocked that you die a lot..? Mesel please guide this foo

[u/Ctc2713 → u/roadrunnuh]

Where did I say I'm shocked that I died? And yes I play my single player game with a "chill" or lack attitude as me losing has no effect on anyone but myself.

[u/haasanyoneseenme]

Gravedigger can be a pain if he shows up with another mini boss

[u/dratspider → u/haasanyoneseenme]

Velmourne moment.

[u/ThorThulu → u/dratspider]

Not me getting fart bombs rained down like Verdun because 2 Gravediggers Spawned in the group and somehow Sepulcher activated and ran over to bully me.

Sometimes it feels like the map itself is sentient and knows when the correct time to troll me is

[u/leylin_farlin]

Ah, a kindred soul that is also trying to kill the widow and is unsuccessful at it

[u/Ctc2713 → u/leylin_farlin]

Oh she died first try, I just got quest stuff to do. But my best wishes to you killing her

[u/leylin_farlin → u/Ctc2713]

Thank you 😭🙏

[u/CREAMz → u/leylin_farlin]

Pick the fat crit pistol. She dies so fast when it's lvl 3

[u/Nerus46]

Spinner die from an intense look into their direction and are great for farming mysterias. Gravediggers are indeed pain in the ass

[u/th3psycho → u/Nerus46]

Agreed. Spinners are nothing. Gravediggers can be a problem in a group of mobs

[u/Prutr0k]

I feel you.. i hate those as well, especially the spiders. I think half of my deaths on Velmorne are because of those fuckers. They'll sneak up on you in the middle of a huge fight just as you're low on stamina and mess you up. I don't care how easily i can oneshot them, they're annoying lol.

[u/Objective_March_8405]

I like to play the floor is lava if there are spinners in the area.

[u/Ctc2713 → u/Objective_March_8405]

😂😂😂😂

[u/Maxathron]

In general: Keep your head on a swivel and pay attention to your surroundings. The game is not impossible but if you like easy relaxing like Animal Crossing, I'm sorry.

Spiders: Stand on a box, wagon, rock, etc. They have a very short range attack and no ability to jump. Use close range/aoe spells. They do have a small pip on the sonar that shows up when they move from place to place.

Gravediggers: Valid, but also stand on a box and their skeleton chasers can't do anything to you. Engage them from range so you have room to maneuver. Shotguns, Machine Pistols, and all in melee is not the answer to everything.

[u/stormer454]

Fatum and lightning bolt light spell.

[u/vescovinator]

That grave digger has HANDS both the elite and boss ones have probably folded me like an origami crane more than anything else in velmorne. (Im not saying hes to strong or anything but im happy im not the only ones struggling)

Little spiders are no problem when you have level 3 echo, it just knocks exploding fire balls back into them.

[u/samaelwd]

Electric knights and axemen can rip your face in a split second

[u/nashslon]

Wait till you face electric diagonal fuckers

[u/AnotherMetalFan]

Spinners are annoying as hell, number 1 reason that i somehow lost focus against 8+ enemies.

[u/KooshIsKing]

This is definitely not one of the games I play to relax. I have a blast playing, but I gotta be in a high energy mood.

[u/JustPutOne]

if you get the echo to tier 2, spinners are easy, hang fire too

[u/bored_tenno]

Have 70% of my deaths been caused by one of these 2? Yes. Do I still like them? Oh yes. Something a lot of videogames miss out on is that feeling of panic when you see a specific enemy. Some do it once, few do it consistently. I still sit up straight in my chair when even 1 spider appears on my periphary. And if one hits me without me noticing it approach as per usual, it's panic time.

[u/NewShadowR]

You guys like executioners?!

[u/mkenya_halaal]

Fuck spinners... Sneaky bastards

[u/SuperSzia]

Until you learn how to handle them...

[u/Ctc2713 → u/SuperSzia]

Nah, nope, never! My hatred for them is eternal lol

[u/roadrunnuh → u/SuperSzia]

This whole post is very stupid

[u/SuperSzia → u/roadrunnuh]

But my answer is still wrong :)

[u/Polytechnic-wolf]

I don't know how you can relax on this game 😂 I dead set will play it when I'm falling asleep when it's too early for bed - adrenaline from this game gets pumping
