"Defeat 100 enemies"

Oh this doesn't seem too bad

"71 enemies left"

This is fucking impossible!

Damn, you got the hang of ki pulsing that quickly? It took me ages to do it properly, but you also get a skill that allows you to no pulse by dodging, which made it so much easier.

Ki pulsing is something I haven't even bothered trying to master, I'm too used to dodging quickly after attacking and adding another button to that playstyle is nearly impossible for me. So that skill you mentioned sounds like something that would help.

I need to get back into this game eventually.

Combat in these games is more about knowing your surroundings and being patient, waiting for the right opportunities rather than going in balls to the wall like most action games. Dodge and block a lot, get a few hits in when you can, then back off again and wait for your next moment.

You probably figured this out already though.

Just the first ten that pop into mind.

I haven't even heard of some of those songs. I'll have to track 'em down. Top 5 for me so far would be

Holy Mountains
Soldier Side
Atwa
Deer Dance
Prison Song

Still have a lot more to listen to. I've been slacking lately with the new music.

I managed to beat two Valkyries so far, the easiest ones. Only took one try each. That was before I beat the game, every Valkyrie I've tried since then has been quite a bit more challenging.

This video kinda helps though



Working on Olrun next so I can get me that there Infinity Gauntlet

That's a nice theory, I'll accept that. What were the hints that he would be a lightweaver?

He forced that spren to bond with him though, kind of seemed like a dick move.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

I guess I didn't know about that. He never did anything in the Mistborn books, I don't even remember most of his appearances in those. Did we ever see him using those abilities?

I do remember him having Breath though

I should hope so. It felt like he had bigger plans and aspirations then he just kinda fell flat. Like oh... that's all you're about? Lame.

Hopefully you're right and he has more up his sleeve.

Taravangian can go fuck himself too.

Also, did Teft swear the final ideal of the Windrunners, while Kaladin still hasn't? I'm not clear on how that all works.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

I believe that's subconsciously one of the reasons it took me much longer to read it. I knew early on that I'd feel depressed at the end so I took my time.

And I'll probs have some more thoughts later, but for now I just wanna take a moment to gush about some of my favorite characters.

Oh Jasnah, dispatching Fused like they ain't shit. What a badass. My type of lady.

My boy Renarin finally perking up and getting a chance to shine. Stepping up and taking control from his older brother, facing down that thunderclast without hesitation. Still confused at what the hell he even is, we know he's bonded with a corrupted spren but Glys seems nice enough so I'm not really sure what that all entails. Or wait, I guess the Unmade that corrupts spren is the same one that helped Shallan and the others?

Amaran is finally gone! Suck it. Rock with the killing blow was shocking, but awesome.

Moash is a piece of shit. I felt for him in the beginning and maybe he still has some redemption left to find but as of now he can fuck right the hell off.

Oh and I guess I'm forced to abandon the Shalladin ship, though I wasn't that invested in it anyway. Plus Adolin deserved that win, I was really worried he'd end up dying in this book. He had a lot of great moments too, and I'm excited to see what happens with his sword, Maya. Maybe dead spren can be brought back to life? Maybe Adolin will become a Radiant yet.

And maybe Wit is a Radiant now too? A lightweaver? Is he even allowed to do that?

Alright, just finished the book. Argh I have to wait two more years for the next one, how will I survive...

I'll post some thoughts later, after I've had time to adjust. In the mean time I'd like to hear how you guys reacted to the ending.

FULL ON SPOILERS from here on out.

Nice! Feel free to keep us updated on your progress. It's been a while since I've read that book so I don't remember a lot but it'd be cool to hear your impressions.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Oh yeah, I suppose I could read the rest of the Arcanum after Elantris. And I already have White Sand (haven't read it yet), I didn't realize that was part of the cosmere. Sweet.

Plus I'm sure his other books that aren't part of the cosmere are worth a look too.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Oh it didn't? That's a shame.

At least I still have ASCII Children
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

That settles it, I'll be reading Bands of Mourning first.

Elantris is the only other Cosmere book? Huh, I thought he had more. Oh well, that'll be my next adventure. I remember people saying that one isn't as good, but people said that about Warbreaker as well and I fucking loved that book.

---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Well isn't Secret History shorter? I could blaze through that pretty quickly and then be on to Bands of Mourning.

That reminds me though, which of his books would y'all recommend after I'm done with these? Haven't touched anything outside of Stormlight and Mistborn (other than Warbreaker obviously)
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Kelsier and Sazed are both awesome, but I'm always more drawn to down-to-earth girls that can kick ass (see: Cassandra Cain).

As for Warbreaker, I forgot all about that whole baby making part of the story... which was basically the premise of the book. Yeah, memory terrible.

At least we can safely assume they did have a kid or two.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Oh yeah I still need to read that, I have the novella already since I had to read Edgedancer before Oathbringer.

I did indeed love Kelsier, so I'm excited to see more of him. Even so, Vin was still my favorite, though Elend wasn't anything special, he was just kinda there.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Yeah it fuckin' was, it's an ending that sticks with you. I admit I hadn't been too heavily invested in Wax and Wayne, I enjoyed them just not as much as I loved Vin.

After that ending though, Wax suddenly shot up in my character ranking. I'm grateful I have him to return to after Oathbringer since I will most likely be sorely depressed once this book ends.

Which is why I'm waiting til tomorrow to finish it

ExThaNemesis posted...

TBH I should probably go back and re-read Oathbringer. I know I love almost the whole book but it didn't have any moments quite like "Honor is dead" from WoR

Don't know about that, there's been so many moments in Oathbringer for me. The big moment for me in Words of Radiance was Kaladin awakening his powers and fighting Szeth. I think Oathbringer has collectively beat that moment already.

And I still have the last couple chapters to go.

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

I was around for someone's topic back around the book's release. I posted a lot before we all got the books, then I had to bail out soon after since everyone got way ahead of me as I was lagging behind. Then I just straight up took a few months off. Picked it back up and haven't been able to stop reading.

As for my tattoo I'll try to remember to post a picture when I get it, though I imagine you're one of the few that will think it's cool. Plus it's several months away still and my memory is awful.

It's very rude to say "bless you" to atheists.

It shouldn't be. "Bless you" is just the polite thing to say, that's why I don't say "god bless you" because fuck gods, I'm the one blessing you.
---

I considered that too, I thought there was something about the Returned not being able to procreate. Although the God-King may be an exception, who knows.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

I'm sure they probably did have kids, or you can at least imagine they did. Doesn't mean any of their kids would be worldhoppers. We already pretty much know Zahel is Vasher, and Vivenna was last seen traveling away some place with him at the end of Warbreaker.

I too have trouble remembering Warbreaker characters though, that's why I wasn't too sure about Azure being Vivenna since I mighta been forgetting someone else.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Yes indeed, though there are a couple safe things in that post, such as how moved I was at Wit's conversation with Shallan after her failures. Telling her to find the balance and such, it almost felt like he was talking to me...

Also I did a quick search for Azure in your topic and found that you suspect she's actually Siri's daughter? I didn't think of that, I figured she was Vivenna but I'm not too sure. Doesn't seem like we'll be getting answers for the Warbreaker crew just yet either.
---

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Oh cool, I'll give your topic a read

And I hope you skipped my second post

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

So I left off with Dalinar verbally bitch slapping Odium, then uniting the realms to bring back my three favorite characters (of course Dalinar himself isn't far behind in that ranking) from Shadesmar. Then they were joined by the rest of their Radiant family and friends and I had to stop reading there because the influx of feeling and emotion threatens to overwhelm me at this point.

My boy Szeth is finally on the side that matters, Jasnah unleashed and Renarin finally revealing some things about himself. I've been most interested in his secrets since I relate to the boy and his reserved ways.

I have a feeling I still won't get any answers about Nightblood and the rest of the Warbreaker crew, I'm suspecting that Azure is actually Vivenna, but we can talk more about that later.

Finally I want to say, and I don't know if it's just me, but I've learned some good life lessons from this adventure. A few parts even had me moved to tears, specifically Wit's conversation with Shallan after her failures. "Accept the pain, but don't accept that you deserve it" really got to me. And Teft's recent words, "I will protect those I hate, even if the one I hate most is myself" had me pausing because... it's something I heavily relate to. He was another character I really felt for. I'm familiar with addiction and self-loathing...

And a side note: I'll be getting a tattoo later this year on my arm that'll depict a flying man with a scythe, to represent wind. Not exactly a reference to the Windrunners (more because that's my elemental arm), but I will also be getting the words "Journey before Destination", since I honestly feel like this series has changed my life and it deserves to be commemorated in my own way.

...Anyway, feel free to talk about anything up to the point I'm at. I need a break for now, will continue reading either later today or tomorrow.

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

Still a few more chapters to go so try to hold off on spoilers until I finish. I'm just so hyped right now, I couldn't wait to make this topic.

Holy crap this book has been so fantastic, I'm constantly astounded by the imagination of Brandon Sanderson. I wish I could dive into his head and see what goes on in there. It would be quite the party.

Assuming I'm the only one that has yet to finish the book around here, but just in case anyone is still lagging behind me or hasn't started reading yet, avoid this topic because there will be unmarked spoilers throughout. This isn't a book you want spoiled in any way.

Will post some thoughts in the next post

Pretty particular with rap, I like a lot of 90s stuff, Eminem, Kendrick, it's a really a case by case basis all-things considered.

Do you only like old Eminem rap? I never got the complaints about his newer stuff, some of it's not great but overall I still find songs to love on all of his more recent albums. Even Relapse had quite a few gems.
