Stamina is fine due to various enemies and the PC surviving critical strikes with enough HP.

Hey, I just had an idea. How much Rock Debris does Astel lift up with his Gravity Circle grab move when he hits you? Maybe you could get another LS Calc out of that. Other than that, it looks pretty good so far.

Man, my favorite game is "Elden Beast". My favorite boss from there is definitely Astel.

That could work yeah, though I'm pretty bad at calcs so someone else has to deal with that if we go that way

I wanna say he probably doesn't lift enough to get a higher LS since it's not like it's huge rocks he pulls up, but I'm not positive.

What was the result, you disagreeing with the 5-C still?
Specifically because you think it could have happened while they were already underground, or that lost doesn't mean destroyed

Moreso the points made, but yeah, that is the plot synopsis. I still find the justification for 5-C immeasurably weak, as Astel's lore never even mentions the moon, nor is the moon ever stated to be destroyed, nor is it even guaranteed a literal moon.

It seems like most of the others here felt it was strong enough earlier, hence it being agreed to be used, there's not one way to prove whether it's right or not besides what the most people here agree with, since it's just a matter of different interpretations of the same facts
Either you think that things point to it being more likely it was above ground at the time, and that context shows lost=destroyed, or you don't since you think it could mean something else, and/or that it was already underground and you think 5-C is bad
If more people switch to disagreeing then I guess we'd have to pick something else, but otherwise I don't think it changes much.

Something to note here. The Eternal Cities like Nokron and Nokstella were put underground as punishment by the Golden Order for trying to defy the GW by creating their own Lord (with the Mimir Tear ash) and creating the Fingerslayer Blade. Astel landing after the cities were casted underground makes no sense for the simple reason there's no opening to the cities before we beat Radahn and judging by what we know, namely that Astel ravaged the city and stole its sky, it's clear it was already fully matured. There's NO way something of such size wouldn't leave a gigantic opening in the land if it really landed so brutally it would have opened a direct path to an underground location burried deep enough for the ceilling to be basically like a real sky. So no, Nokstella's moon wasn't underground when Astel destroyed it.

You do refer to this consensus often enough, but frankly, I'd like to see the staff votes. Again, the 5-C stuff has quite literally no evidence. No mention of a moon being destroyed, no statement of Astel having anything to do with the moon. You need to make two substantial leaps to even make it plausible. These are facts.
I s'pose I'll ask some staff members to look through the relevant talking points, rather than referring to this obscure, ominous collective voice you speak for.

Honestly Bambu, this feels like a case of you just missing everything that has been discussed, from item descriptions to the lore itself. It feels a bit wrong, is that the word?, for you to just call everyone who's put their opinion in after reading the item descriptions that were posted obscure and ominous.
Either it's because there are too many messages to read through, which is the most likely case, or ignorance, which is very unlikely.

My man, I asked Paul to bring me every piece of evidence for 5-C on Discord, as I was invited to the "work group".
I looked through all of it, in fact before it was shown to me properly, I even agreed it seemed likely 5-C would work, were the evidence not found wanting. Except it was.
I understand this may be difficult to appreciate, as it occurred off-wiki due to the desire of Ovens to host it so, but I do ask you do not reduce my opinion to one of lack of knowledge. I, unfortunately, have done my homework. You're right in that I'm not glued to the thread, but I do know my shit, from time to time. I, for example, know that the staff consensus is far from concrete, and have gone through this thread all the way back to Page 5 to ensure this was the case.
I'll be presenting all relevant evidence to other staff members (along with Ovens, who should be able to represent your interpretations should I miss anything in my synopsis). Then, and only then, will you have your consensus.

What? No, gravity magic is just part of the Starbeasts. Even the terrible small one stuck in a cave can use gravity magic. Its just part of their nature. Its like giving the worm people gifted because they can cast death spells or giving Kindred of Rot gifted because they can cast spine magic or whatever. Astel is a rampaging death machine not a intelligent wizard like Sellen or something.
That's fine in my view. Ironing the stuff out now is better than some tacked on CRT like a week after.

Memes, yes, though limited. Armor has been a godsend in that department. Emojis, seems like a total of eight. Disappointment is the substance of life.

As I said above, I was putting it in this category because while it is a rampaging death machine, it exhibits advanced use of gravity powers, much more elaborated than what the other beasts or even an Alabaster Lord display with their own power, though I'm fine with making him animalistic

Feels like I should have worded my message better. It was more so about the choice of words when referring to what you call "the voice", which makes it feel like it isnt important

I mean if you wanted to see the votes you could scroll up and see the people commenting who agreed with it, along with Qaw who proposed it, Emirp who agreed, etc

I don't particularly understand why you opened with "you probably don't know what we're even arguing about", but alright.
I do think it's obscure. At least, in terms of staff consensus, it is. As a part of my gathering of a legitimate staff consensus, I have added 7 members of the staff aside from myself, all but one who have contributed to these threads (that one being Wok, who has worked on Souls in the past and generally has an extremely level head). And yet I have been told, repeatedly, that in my absence a total consensus has been made, nothing we can do, from a small handful of staff members. Now, I generally consider Qawsed to be one of the best admins on the site, but clearly I disagree severely with the generous interpretations he is giving out here- so I will get a genuine consensus.
I called Paul the voice of this consensus because it seems the resurgence to push for Super Duper High Tier stuff started with him, a few pages back, and I was more or less discussing with him specifically, here and on Discord. I don't know why you felt I didn't consider this important- I absolutely do, most of my work on the wiki of late has been to try to steer this thread in what I feel is a good direction. That direction seems to be at odds with many of you, as I've even heard talk of another Low 1-C Immeasurable Speed Placidusax, which is for obvious reasons not really aligning with my interpretation of the game. So yes, I would say it is important.

That's what I thought too yeah. I figured he was just kinda a monster int wise but he's just evolved far enough his gravity stuff is better.
The issue imo comes in when stuff can't really be ironed out, because it's entirely just interpretation A vs B using the exact same quotes, it goes down to amount of people who agree vs disagree, and how exactly do you iron that out?
If you have a decent number who agree, how many people do you call? Do you call people until you get more disagreeing, or do you decide to keep getting votes for the agreeing side, at what point does it become enough if the current amount isn't?
Like I don't really care about the 5-C, but if there's a decent group agreeing to something and then one or maybe two who disagree based on a different interpretation, I'm not really sure about trying to pause progress even more for it, that's my view.
Tbf that's entirely on discord from what I've seen, and primarily a meme argument, I think

Well tbf I more or less sped ran the reason why I think Astel is 5-C. I made a more detailed response in the mod thread about this.
But the core of it, is that the Nox were at one point above ground and made anti-Greater Will items. The Greater Will sent Astel Down with the Elden Beast to ruin their civilization and used Radahn's loyalty to completely negate the influence of the Lord of Night.

Well let's see where all of this leads us

agreed, and the moon of nokstella not metioned more likely has to with the fact the GW really likes to erase any opposition, or fellow outer gods from memory. an example would be erasing the fell god from memory.

I don't think the Nokstella moon was an Outer God honestly, the only moon god we hear about is the Dark Moon and nothing suggests it was hovering above the cities, even in a limited form
- 19,665
- 16,028
Nokstella's moon is either a artifact of an Outer God or something heavily influenced by the Lord of Night. A lot of Radahn's goal of controlling the stars and the Nox's origin imply that there was more to it than just being a moon.
- 189
- 105
yep, i think that more to it than being a moon was considered enough of a threat by the GW, that they sent Astel to destroy it, and also use it's servants to erase any memory of the event happening in the first place.
