In Three Days - Knower, knowing of knowledge

 I'm beating the bosses in order, third one down. The bugs seem much easier than the dragon hippo, that thing's grab attack ate all of my lunch all week.

The relic drops have sure been interesting. A whole lot of Improved Giants Flame Incantations and Improved Attack when 3 Flails Equipped and super useful shit like that. Not much in terms of, yknow, +1 Stat or improved cooldowns. Maybe they get less bad (or at leady requiring a degree of run management I dont have time for, later. 

I missed another cutscene and some probably interesting dialogue from the menial. Mutliverse theory confirmed. I've unlocked the journal missions for ironeye and wylder. 

I fought a smelter demon. i dont know if he doesn't or just didn't do it, but there was no delay between his jump attack and his aoe blast. In ds2 he'd wait a few seconds pretending to recover to lure you in before blasting you. I also don't know if it was because I was taking sooooo long or if it's a feature but when he did his second power up he turned blue and we both started taking chip damage. See, I had a fire weapon equipped because the menu said to bring a fire weapon because that would be effective against the nightlord, but not smelter demons, which are made of fire and fire that has become enraged. 

I found a church with a tornado on top of it and purple oracles and I think duchess invaded me but I had to afk. Again.

I'm going to try taking on the Exiled Castle a few times, the central fort with all the storm knights, it seems like it's meant to be a static location in all this madness. 

...

Update,  I had a lucky run later this very same day and have slain an infant elden beast, I think. By lucky I mean "I was using ironeye and turns out balloons are weak to arrows"

Things have changed in the hold and I got my wish for some no bs relics and I think. Probably should have explored the Exiled Castle before I did this but I didn't think I would win.
