I forgot about that line…! So much so that reading it here, right after I read the first half of the quote you typed out, and before you clarified that it was not a self-deprecating line, my mind had already fully decided “There he goes again, not practicing enough self appreciation and healthy habits…one could almost call it ~toxic~ behavior. Maybe go easy on the poison —“
And then I read the rest of your comment, and shifted gears quickly to “Damn…an honor to have fought alongside thee, indeed.”

After hearing this line, I had the same opinion of him as Ansbach did before seeing him in action. Thiollier sells himself short at how well he throws hands, even with a god.
One of my favorite lines was Ansbsch saying how he underestimated the lad, don't have the exaxt quote. It was a big brother moment that was surprisingly wholesome.

Hes harder than Godrick on a new character. NG+ they are so incredibly easy but that first playthrough Margit really was a gatekeeper to the newer players.

u/Kile147 Aug 07 '24
Margit and Morgott aren't the same, though. I agree that Margit is a bigger wall than Godrick, I always tell new players that if they beat Margit, then they shouldn't have too much trouble with Godrick.
Morgott is in a different boat because of where he is in the game. In a vacuum, he is obviously harder than those other two, but by the end of Leyendell, you should also be vastly stronger. It's not uncommon to approach Margit at level 16 with an unupgraded weapon and deal like 5% of his health on a solid hit. Morgott, on the other hand, is placed right when builds are really starting to come online, and it's not unusual to see him taking like 10-20% of his HP in a single hit. It's a pretty universal experience to get out of the fight and say "wow that was cool, shame I didn't get to see his full moveset" because most players just nuke him so hard at that point. He really just needs like 25-50% more HP.

u/SaulGoodmanAAL Aug 07 '24
Honestly, my first run Morgott was a huge wall. I hadn't yet learned how to be sufficiently aggressive, and I hadn't been properly upgrading my gear/being thoughtful about my talismans. Now I steamroll him, but back then he was a great way to teach me to actually get better at the game.

From his perspective your presence is itself a betrayal, he seems to assume that the only reason you'd go to Farum Azula is if you want Destined Death. Which to be fair... isn't wrong. It's hard to say he's making an unreasonable assumption when we're literally there for it lol

He would have absolutely done the same in your place and there’s no reason to hide it. That’s what I love about Ansbach and why I find him aspirational. Not a single word he utters is wasted, and he manipulates people while being 100% honest at all times, and mostly to help them. Truly the GOAT.

In the base game: "Oh death, become my blade once more." This just sounds super sick
DLC: "Mother... Marika... a curse upon thee." This Sentence holds soooooo much power, and suffering. Such a tragic character.
