Also I finished my annual playthrough. Very fun time all told, Chalice Dungeons can get dysentery and die tho

Think my next Spooky Time game this year will be a DMC or Castlevania game, maybe a Silent Hill game if I can get my emulator working properly

I got the whole DMC collection and am currently playing through them to see what all the fuss is about
 
I'm thinking about making a Mimic Tear profile. Is it worth the trouble though?
Possibly? The Mimic tears can copy things beyond just normal humans (I think there are afew that become trolls), but at the same time all their hax are dependent on who they are fighting

Most of the statistics will probably just be varies, but feel free to go for it.

The big rolling balls are also them, and yes, they became trolls. It's also speculated that they might be related to the various monsters in the game that shapeshift into something different when approached or defeated.

What ones are those? The only one that comes to the top of my head is the phantom Morgott outside of Leyndell, but that’s just how using his own magic.
 
While I'm not really that opposed to improving the calc on A Call Beyond, I do have some gripes with the method. While the math is good, the description I still feel contradicts your method. It states that the ritual ultimately failed to access the cosmos, which resulted in the creation of the small star. This to me sounds like that the star is not created in the said "lofty plane of darkness", since it's simply stated that they could not reach it. However, that is just my interpretation of it, and I could understand if I am missing something about the description.

I would also like to note that I do disagree with the original calcs assumption on using the core of the sun for temperature and 1 second of radiation. If your calc isn't fully accepted, I could still see the original being redone with these in mind.

The description states:

“Long ago, the Healing church used phantasms to reach a lofty plane of darkness, but failed to make contact with the outer reaches of the cosmos.”

This seems to say that they successfully reached the ‘lofty plane of darkness’ (from which they drew power like the explosion of a star) but failed to reach the ‘outer reaches of the cosmos’ (which is presumably where the Great Ones they were trying to contact resided).

In this sense, the ‘lofty plane of darkness’ is short of ‘the outer reaches of the cosmos’ (their goal), but they still reached this lesser plane. This explains why “The rite failed to achieve its intended purpose, but instead created a small exploding star, now a powerful part of the Choir's arsenal.”

Ahhh alrighty, that makes a bit more sense. That clears up a larger portion of my concerns, but I'll mostly leave the rest to the calc team.
 
Hey, I'm wondering if Elden Ring's version of coop and invasions could qualify as something similar to Astral Projection.

My main examples of this can be seen with the Dung Eater and Elmer of the Briar. Elmer pops up several times as the Bell Bearing Hunter, but spawns in with the red glow invaders have, while his real self in the Shaded Castle doesn't. Similar thing happens with Dung Eater, who's just projecting himself in the Roundtable Hold while still physically being in the Leyndell sewers. It's even not too much of a stretch consiering that Morgott is responsible for making the illusory copies of Godfrey and Mohg.

Most likely. For example, one NPC co-operator in SOTE directly states that you'll call upon their soul when you touch their summon sign, and when they appear they appear with a fully functioning form despite the limbs of their physical body being absolutely demolished, so it's definitely not that
 
 
Should the Gaping Dragon get that one Channeler near his boss arena as optional equipment? He directly buffs the Dragon and provides sniper support.

I personally don't think so, since the Dragon has no control over the Channeler. It's not like it deliberately put it there or summoned it, it's more of just an environmental hazard.

He also permanently stays dead if you go out of your way to kill him, so....

Yeah, I don't think it'd work.

Also speaking of Dark Souls, the more and more I look at the pages for the verse, the more I realize just how rough they are. It's in desperate need of a CRT and some new feats considering how dubious most of them are (mostly the King of the Storm feat and Ceaseless Discharge feat, which doesn't even exist on the wiki iirc).
 
Yeah, I don't think it'd work.
I mean the implication that I always got from this is that Seath set him there specifically to study and protect it since he's trying to learn about other Dragons to gain immortality.

Yeah, it's looking rough. Like really rough, not to mention some characters either don't have profiles that probably should or aren't scaled correctly.

If anything that's more of an argument for Seath possibly having the ability to summon Channelers wherever. Plus, I don't think it's a matter of it protecting the dragon, it just wants to kill us like everything else lol.

Yeah. I mean 90% of DS2 has no pages whatsoever, and most of the other pages just suck. I would help out more, but I'm juggling work with every other fromsoft game, Lies of P, Bastard!!, and some other things, so I haven't had much time to help. I did have an idea for a calc that could be used to determine the strength of some characters based on their assimilation of certain souls (for example, calculating how powerful Seath, the Four Kings, and the children of Gwyn are based on estimates of how much of his soul they have), but I never got around to it and it was kind of an eh idea at best. Although I'm still up for it if you all would want to see it.

I think it should be both if anything. He's directly buffing the Gaping Dragon, he's an integral part of that boss fight so he should at least get a note on hid profile if anything.

DS2 was doomed from the start.

If you really want to add it, I would say that it would only apply if the gaping dragon is fighting someone in it's arena.

I swear I'll try and save it once I play it (except probably not. Making profiles is a ******* nightmare).

He's a different guy, no.

There are other profiles on the wiki who have entire characters as equipment, like Bayverse Shockwave with the Driller or Gentle Criminal with La Brava, though for him specifically she's mentioned in his P&A section and not his equipment section for some reason.

If your argument was Seathe, I'd say no but at least see where you're coming from. The Gaping Dragon doesn't use the Channeler, the Channeler just does buff the dragon.

He also shoots at you and your buddies throughout the fight too, so he provides the same kind of bonus to the Dragon that La Brava does for Gentle except he actually fights too.
