How are the [New] Great Ones created?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 10:13 PM PDT

So, in Bloodborne, there appear to be many different iterations of how the Great Ones are "created".

For example, Rom is only a Human that "ascended" (apart from the Hunter in the "Childhood's Beginning" ending), though it is argued that it was not a full transformation, classing her only as a "transformed being"

Rom, the Vacuous Spider controls the barrier that prevents normal humans from seeing the true horrors around them, such as the Lesser Amygdalae crawling around Cathedral Ward. Rom was once a scholar of Byrgenwerth who at some point went through metamorphosis into a Kin courtesy of Kos, according to dialogue given by Micolash.

This also has something to do with Ebreitas, who worked with the Healing Church, teaching them ways of Blood Ministration, etc., and when found in the Altar of Despair, appears to be "mourning over Rom's body."

When the player finds her she seems to be mourning (or simply sleeping) at the Altar of Despair, which appears to house the corpse of a dead being that resembles Rom.

Mergo, on the other hand is the offspring the child of the Pthumerian Queen and Formless Oedon

Mergo is an infant Great One, suspected to be the child of Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen and Oedon, a Great One.

The child appears to have been stillborn in some fashion, as evidenced by the item description of a certain Third Umbilical Cord, "Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate. This Cord granted Mensis audience with Mergo, but resulted in the stillbirth of their brains."

Source

Oedon himself seems to have attempted this multiple times, as well.

Oedon might have used Arianna's position as a prostitute and her origin as a distant relative to Queen Annalise to use the blood she was exchanging with people to impregnate her. The latter seems to be more correct since the Third Umbilical Cord collected from her child states: "Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate, and Oedon, the formless Great One, is no different. To think, it was corrupted blood that began this eldritch liaison."

Source

Then we have Kos, and the Orphan of Kos. This seems to be the only Great One that directly births an Offspring, without using a human surrogate, to somehow create a new Great One. There is nothing that I have found to state anything about how Kos became "pregnant", only that The Orphan of Kos was birthed from her dying body, simply because it's a cutscene to show it happening.

Then finally, there is the Moon Presence. This is probably just as vague; the only clues are that the consumption of the Umbilical Cords give the Hunter the ability to resist the will of the Moon Presence. Then, upon defeating it, you simply become an Infant Great One, apparently fully ascending to the proper status of "Great One", unlike Rom.

The Hunter succeeds in defeating the Moon Presence, and ascends into an infant Great One, that is found and cared for by The Doll.

So, is there a "process" that allows for the creation of a Great One? And if so, what are the requirements?

What does the exclamation point over mini-Mario's head mean?

Posted: 22 Oct 2021 01:50 AM PDT

While exploring Chucklehuck Woods, I noticed an exclamation point appear over Mario's head. After some experimentation, I found the mark will only appear over Mario's head if he stands in a specific spot after being flattened by Luigi's hammer.

What does the exclamation point over a mini-Mario's head mean?

What percentage do specific foods add to the disease risk pool on survival difficulty?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 05:43 PM PDT

I would love to know the exact percentage values that each individual food item adds to the Disease Risk Pool (DRP) when playing on the survival difficulty.

The wiki states the following:

Food always adds +1% to the DRP (but does not force a roll). Foods can also have a low disease risk (+3% to the DRP), standard (+7%), high (+12%), or very high (+20%).

However, I can't seem to find a list/table of each food item with its correlated disease risk. This information would be incredibly helpful in deciding what the best obtainable food source would be.

How can I locate a misplaced shulkerbox?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:29 PM PDT

I have a typical problem, most players went through before I guess. I placed my shulkerbox somewhere, but cannot remember where I did. Either that, or it isn't where I thought it was.

Is there a way to locate a specific shulkerbox in the world? The box is renamed. I have access to a world save.

I found answers in the web to try and use MCEdit to open the world and filter for the block, however, MCEdit has not been updated for three years and fails to open my 1.17 world.

If I factory reset my phone will I lose all my worlds on Minecraft PE?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:37 PM PDT

I need to factory reset my phone but I'm afraid to because I don't know if my worlds on Minecraft PE beta will still be there when I re download everything. I used an apk to install it.

Do I need to download the Forge Mod Loader to have a mods folder in my .minecraft folder?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 09:08 AM PDT

So, do I need the Forge Mod Loader or can I just slap a mods folder in there and call it a day?

Playstation store having games PS5/PS4 and PS4 [closed]

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 08:55 AM PDT

What's the deal with Playstation Store having certain identical games tagged with PS4/PS5 and another version only for PS4. The example is Ride 4 currently in store. They even have the same exact price. Is there any reason for this, aren't PS5/PS4 games playable on both consoles so no matter which console you have you buy that version?

What was the big circle on the ground during a boss fight?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 07:30 AM PDT

I was fighting an Ogre in Back 4 Blood, and my team decided to kite it back to a minigun we'd passed a minute ago.

The Ogre followed us partway, then stopped. It may have been because the minigun was staggering it, or it may have been that it was programmed to not progress any further in that direction. It wasn't clear to me at the time, being fairly new to the game.

Anyway, after a bit of this, a huge "circle" spawned on the ground, kind of like the edge of the world in a battle royale game. Standing outside it seemed to deal damage, so I stepped inside quickly. The minigun was also outside the circle, so the teammate on there left and we dispatched the Ogre the normal way.

Then the circle disappeared, and we continued to progress as normal.

So, uh, what? What was that? What are the conditions for its spawn? For its removal? What exactly does it do?

I found this video on the same level where something similar happens:

Shortly after the player in the video starts shooting the breaker, you can hear an intense sound effect and the clouds in the distance become yellowish. This was the same thing that happened to me, although the circle is centered elsewhere so you can't see its edge on the ground like in my game. The instant the breaker died, the effect ended.

Is it possible to view the tax rates of a settlement besides when you first enter the settlement?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:57 AM PDT

When you first enter a settlement, the tax rates briefly display on the screen. However, this is the only way I've been able to view them.

I once entered a settlement where the tax rates were a very high 20% for each of the taxable settlement features. If I knew this ahead of time, I would have travelled to a different town with lower rates to perform my crafting, but I have not found a way to view the tax rates from the world map, or any other way.

Can you view the tax rates of a settlement aside from when they display upon entering a settlement?

How to create a random spawnpoint off entities in Minecrat 1.17.1?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 09:42 AM PDT

I have been trying to create random spawn points on my Minecraft server, for instance, if a player die, the player would respawn at designated spots on the server, where I have dropped some tagged objects. But I don't seem to be getting the code right because I have tried some execute commands with a command block set to repeat, unconditional and redstone enabled.

Code 1:

execute as @a at @e[tag=Spawn] run spawnpoint @r ~ ~ ~

Code 2:

 execute at @e[tag=Spawn] run spawnpoint @r ~ ~ ~

Any help would be appreciated!

How to spawn mobs randomly using Minecraft commands?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:31 AM PDT

I've downloaded a mod that lets me add the allay, copper golem and glare to Minecraft. They can be spawned using spawn eggs and commands. But they cannot spawn randomly naturally. I want these mobs to spawn randomly at different places only on random intervals.

I've not yet tried anything as I'm not good with commands. The mod is a forge mod with the Minecraft version being 1.16.5. I want the mobs to spawn randomly using commands or command blocks.

Black ops 2 on Xbox

Posted: 22 Oct 2021 01:02 AM PDT

I just got the Xbox s. The market has black ops 2 and black ops 2 season pass both the same price. If I buy the game with the season pass do I get the game and the season pass. Or just the season pass and I still need to buy the game. Please help

How do I add a skin to the skin folder in assets in .minecraft

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 07:02 PM PDT

When I play Minecraft I cant see my skin and I figured out that it's because it isn't in the skin folder in assets, does anyone know how to put the skin in there so it can read it, or empty the folder so that it can refill with new skins?

Why is my minecraft server overwriting weather commands?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 01:38 PM PDT

So, we've tried all these commands, doweathercycle, weather, toggledownfall, but, our server just writes a new command on it's own to set it back to thunder and lightning. We're looking for a permanent fix, is it a mod, or a plugin? We are running the Tekxit 3 LE modpack.

I want to summon a mob that has an item as passenger

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 04:04 PM PDT

I've seen the same question, with an example that said /summon zombie ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Item",Item:{id:"minecraft:stone",Count:1b}}]}. But this doesn't work. Probably because commands have changed, but is there a new way of doing it?

What was this sound in Minecraft?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 05:01 PM PDT

I was watching YouTube and this noise came up in one of DanTDM's videos (at 3:44). Does anybody know what it is?

It got me really creeped out. Is it just Dan trying to scare us? Can it happen in my Minecraft worlds?

How do you upload .zip to .mcpack?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 08:04 PM PDT

So while I was trying to import a .zip file from planet Minecraft, I followed all the instructions to turn it into .mcpack. While I did that, I imported it to Minecraft and an error with no log comes up. .mcworld works but not .mcpack. Note: I use iPadOS v.13.6 using a iPad Pro (9.6 inch) model. I don't know if that will help.

Minecraft Server Failed to connect

Posted: 22 Oct 2021 02:07 AM PDT

Im trying to set up a minecraft server on a centos 7 vm so that my friends and I can play. I've been following a guide on how to set it up and was able to make it all the way through until the actual connecting to the server part.

I've made sure there is a port exception for 25565, and when I use ss -natu it shows the the port is listening for a connecting from java... though everytime I try to connect I keep getting the io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception connection timed out error.

Not sure if I dont have the firewalld set up properly or if something else is the matter.

Thanks for reading and any help is much appreciated! If you need more info just ask and I will try to get it to you as quick as possible.

How to improve at low 6 digit rank (~200-100k)?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:02 AM PDT

After breaking the 200k rank barrier (I'm at about rank 190k now)a few days ago I feel as though I've hit a bit of a wall. While I can see small improvements in certain game aspects, I feel like I'm still playing the same star ratings and not improving much overall. Gaining ranks has also become a bit of a struggle as I now barely gain any pp from raw scores as high as 60-70 pp.

I usually play maps between 4 and 5 stars. My highest pp play is 121 pp and the highest difficulty I have passed is a 5.51, but I really haven't passed many five stars at all; probably less than 20. I'm pretty good at aim/jumps but I'm really bad at streams (I can hold 140 BPM for less than 30 seconds) and not great at finger control. I can kind of play hidden but really haven't started learning mods yet.

While my primary goal is gaining rank, I also really want to improve over all and play more difficult songs. In a few weeks I'll have considerably less time to play, so I was hoping to reach five digit by then, but I don't know that that is realistic at this point.

For reference, after warming up (I do hand warm-ups as well), I usually spend about half my time playing "Improvement" maps from my stream practice, burst practice, and finger control collections. The second half is usually spent farming (mostly nomod but sometimes low star DT).

While I don't have time to play for more than 2-3 hours a day, I'm willing to try anything as long as it doesn't mean my rank doesn't drastically drop. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I reached 150k a couple days ago but I had to grind A LOT. I'm gonna go back to practicing finger control and streams more, but still need to farm a bit until I reach 5 digit. I won't have as much time to play for a while, either. I'm wondering, when should I start really trying to pass a 6 star, and what I can do to practice for that? Also, what is a good sign to know that I can stop exclusively practicing finger control maps for my main practice time (for now).

Are there Pokemon Centers in Pokemon Go?

Posted: 22 Oct 2021 02:39 AM PDT

In both Pokemon Go and the main series Pokemon games, I can use Revives and (various types of) Potions to revive and heal my Pokemon while I'm out in the wild. The main series also has Pokemon Centers, where I can heal all of my Pokemon without using items. However, I haven't seen any in Pokemon Go. Are they only available in denser urban areas? Or are they even available at all? Getting recovery items from spinning gyms is not nearly keeping up with the rate of my Pokemon getting injured/knocked out.

How to invert mouse y axis in Qube 2?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 06:07 PM PDT

I know it's not possible in the game options, and it won't be developped, but is there any workaround to this ?

So far I've tried a .NET Mouse inverter program, and Sakasa.exe

They DO invert y axis in Windows and Qube menus, but not in game.

How do you reload the latest save game in Kingdom Come: Deliverance?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 02:01 PM PDT

I am trying to reload a save game on Xbox One X but I can't find out how. Neither do I find ways to enter the game menu once I have loaded a game. Now I always seem to have to restart the whole thing. There must be a better way, either to load the latest save game directly, or a way to get to the menu. Does anyone know how this can be done?

What does the color wheel of fortune do?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 05:56 AM PDT

In one of the town/basecamp/safe areas, there's a color wheel of fortune, where you can gamble a crystal shard to roll the wheel with chance of apparently landing on one of the white pie slices. What does this wheel do, and what happens if the wheel lands on one of the rare slices?

Can I somehow use special spells like Quake?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 12:06 PM PDT

During the main story, Oliver gains lots of spells from various places and people. Some of them can't be used from the spells menu and in the Wizard's Companion they appear with dark background but without any special explanation why they can't be used.

Everything I found points that it's a lost cause and those spells can't be used, period. For example:

But I refuse to give up. Maybe if you finish the game 3 times or do something spectacular? Those spells are just too great to be just a tease! Any official information would be welcome.

Why is my game constantly crashing silently to desktop with no error message?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 07:18 PM PDT

I have been searching for an answer to the crash-to-desktop (CTD) issue for days since I first began playing. All I come across are 10-page-long discussions that appear to consist only of new members joining the forum just so they can chime in with, "This is happening to me, too!" The only thing anyone ever has to offer is a link to the same site I've seen a dozen times with a list of "common things that may help", but none ever do.

The CTD is random. I hardly ever know when it's going to happen, although, sometimes, I get into a spot in the game where the crash is consistent at around the same spot.

Among some of the things I've tried:

  • turned off AA
  • using low setting presets
  • playing windowed
  • turning off v-sync (even though this is just spitting in the face of my 480GTX)
  • 44.1 khz sound tweak

Many of these tweaks I tried only for peace of mind and would never play with them. For example, turning off AA or v-sync? No thanks, I'll take my smooth edges and jitter-free frame rates to another game.

There has to be something other than these compiled checklists of random tweaks that no one ever reports as 100% effective. Isn't there an official patch for this? Hasn't Bethesda addressed this? Hundreds upon hundreds of people are having this problem.

My specs -

Windows 7 32-bit 4 GB RAM Nvidia 480 GTX Intel i5 3.33 Ghz

How can I win the Seacrest Tour event in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit?

Posted: 21 Oct 2021 09:31 AM PDT

How can I win the Seacrest Tour event, or at least get bronze?

I've tried this event many times, the best I've managed is 4th. I'd particularly like help on these specific points:

  • Which car should I use? The Bugatti Veyron looks the best option from the stats, but should I try something else?

  • How can I avoid crashing? I often fail to finish because I wreck my car.

  • Should I be taking shortcuts? If so, which ones?

  • In the Freeway sections, should I drive on the correct side of the road or try to earn boost by driving into oncoming traffic?
