Well designed status effects
DUDE JUST USE SEDATIVE LMFAO
You can also just not let it build up. It's really not hard unless you are facing the Winter Lanterns for the first time and don't know how they work.
What game?
I died so many times to that asshole blocking the bridge it was completely unfair and poorly designed
Winter lanterns wouldn't be so bad if the grab didn't mean you're forced to die from the frenzy straight after.
>dude just don't let them look at you lmao
IS THAT A FUCKING SQUID IM GOING INSANEEEE
UNIMAGINABLE TERROR!!!
what is this
Frenzy from Bloodborne. It's basically the same as the insanity mechanic from the CoC table top games that has been repurposed by many games. OP was likely making a bait thread because frenzy frustrates many players because they are shit.
>stare at weird looking monster for 5 seconds
>die instantly
seems reasonable to me
bloodborne
frenzy from bloodborne
>tfw NIGGERMAN doesn't help you
farm the goop troop in the first level of the college they drop all kinds of sedative and boolets and you get sicc bloodechos
Except it's not looking at them, they have to see YOU. It's magic they are using to fuck with your head. You can look at them if you are invisible for example from a Blue Elixir for example. Why is it so unreasonable to you guys for an eldritch horror to know insanity magic?
>tfw you realize that the Winter Laterns are actually distorted versions of the Doll
>insanity magic
What insanity? There's no insanity, it just takes most of your HP away in a single frame. It looks dumb as fuck to me.
that status build up system is bretty gud
other developers should copy it
It's not distorted, that's just what the Doll actually is.
It's supposed to be your brain like exploding or hemorrhaging. Again, you can think that magic that does that is stupid but it is very clearly NOT just looking at them that makes you frenzy. That was the point of my post and you seem to have willfully ignored it. I was pointing out that not only do you have to be looking at them but they need to be aware of you and when they are they start to glow, they are actively doing something to make you frenzy, it's like any other magic in the game. Whether or not you think the amount of HP it takes is dumb isn't relevant to anything I said nor is how dumb it "looks". I was pointing out that people comparing them to other games where you actually go insane just from looking at squids are wrong, it's clearly not the same as say that shitty mechanic in the recent Call of Cthulhu game.
k den
>most of your HP
Most of my... HP Lovecraft?
idk why you took my post so seriously. All I was really saying is that the mechanic is dumb. A bar fills and you take damage. I don't care about the context for this.
Is... is this canon? I though Gehrman made the doll himself? Did he summon it or something?
Gehrman made the Doll in the Waking World's workshop, a doll having Maria's likeness, so as to cope with her loss (she was a daughter figure to Gehrman). But when Gehrman was around Laurence's attempts to beckon the Moon Presence, something went awry and Gehrman was trapped into the Hunter's Dream, which was conceived by the Moon Presence. It was a distorted version of the waking world's Workshop, and in it the Doll was brought to life.
Also Gehrman is deeply disturbed by the Doll, which is why she never sees him. Poor thing.
Mistakes where made
He also dislikes her for having no personality
Ah I see. But then this post is technically backwards as the doll isnt a lantern in disguise as a doll? Or is that how tge moon presence gave it life by possessing it with a lantern or something?
The Winter Lanterns themselves must be distortions of the Doll. The Doll itself isn't a Winter Lantern.
my head canon is that winter lanterns just take on a superficial appearance of the doll in an attempt to get the Hunter's guard down, either to trick the hunter unsuccessfully or out of a legitimate warped sense of love. and the messengers that make the head are actual dead messengers
