Finally getting around to playing Dark Souls for the first time.

Any recommendations or suggestions on what to do/how to build for the first time through?
>>
Avoid using magic/faith/pyromancy for your first play-through. They can trivialize many encounters, and most of the fun of the game comes from the melee mechanics.

Don't invest in resistance.
>>
kill the dogs first
>>
Keep your equip load under 50%
Learn to dodgeroll.

You win.
>>

>get drakeword by sniping the dragon's tail

Congrats. You just beat Dark Souls.

level up resistance, best thing to level.

Turn on cheats for new londo from the start to ng+7
It is the worst area in history of level design, everything is shit about it down to the boss (which is just a DPS race)
Youre not missing out, just dl a trainer for new londo, im not sure what those tards were thinking with what they made
>>
If it bleeds, you can kill it.
Find a weapon you like and upgrade it to your character
The drake sword will slow you down
Learn to roll
More Stamina is good
Dont put points into resistance ever
Kill the dogs first

when people say "kill the dogs first", are they talking about Capra demon??

>>323923317
yes

and any other dog related encounter
>>
ignore the drake sword is bad memers it's good enough to get you past the first couple of bosses whilst you save up resources to upgrade a bastard sword.
>>
the same thing people tell you every time you make this thread

enemies have no tracking, so you just strafe to the enemies backside, raise your shield right before the enemy attacks and lowering it right after the attack for maximum stamina management, then hit them in the backside

thats 95% of the enemies in the game
>>
>>323922967
I just enable quicksaving. Game's a lot better that way. Less bullshit.
>>
>>323923317
Yes. Better yet, run for the arc over on the stairs, hide in the corner and block. Wait for the demon to fall down, then attack him like you did with the first two bosses.
>>
kill dogs XD
git gud :DDD

>>323923398
Drake Sword is good, but upgrading it is a slog, Better to find a weapon when it starts hitting that point of uselessness.
>>
>>323923315
dont listen to these retards OP there is nothing to be found in new londo, maybe when you drain it and pass the ghosts you can continue normally with the other enemies
Ofc retards like this guy think theyre le so good because they memorized their little spawn and speed run patterns, just skip the shit

Just enjoy in discovery, every person has his way of playing, way he enjoys the most(someone finds himself as swordnboard, someone likes to roll,dodge, someone likes two-handers or spears, or mixture).
Game will actually give you every type of weapon so you will see what you like the most(halberd,mace,axe,sword,bow,magic etc).

Honestly, if you are gonna ask a lot of questions about how to play this game on internet, you will considerably ruin your experience, it doesn't matter if you ruin your first build, its all part of the game.

Everyone has different opinion about how to play this game, make your own, its important part of the game.
>>
>>323925419
its fun if you play it after you play a class that is harder. My first run I did an agility class and the game was a struggle especially vs armored bosses. My next playthrough was a great axe playthrough and i just destroyed everything effortlessly abusing its moveset to basically trivialize 90% of the enemies, i remember i stunnlocked quelogg to death, felt so satisfying compared to having to prance around like a faggot dodging all her shit and chipping away at her health little by little.
>>
>>323924060
nigger warrior is easy it has a shield that not only is better for parrys but has 100% damage resist and has a long sword which has a extremely versitle move set. I had an easier time as a warrior than a pyromancer.

About rule # 11. there is a part of graveyard you can stand and those enemies that chase you will just fall, you can kite even big ones(i managed to aggro 7 at once), its a nice cheese way of getting some souls at the beginning of the game(and one nice advanced weapon)

does armor really do anything?
what is the actual damage reduction?

armor is just a meme, right?
>>
>>323926071
yeah but i said for noobs. noobs probably wont be good enough to use the long sword to its potential. the pyromancers axe is simple to use and is better at bashing on shields.

For pve you dont need a weapon with a wide moveset for every situation, just something that does high poise/stability damage. thats one reason why i put the classes with the maces/axes at the easier end of the spectrum.

yes it does help a little, its more noticeable if you upgrade it. but upgrading weapons > upgrading shield> upgrading stats, and you only upgrade your armor when you are already at the level you want or you want to burn extra souls you dont need at the time.

no, you are full of shit
upgraded armor does nothing

i asked you about the actual damage reduction
why do idiots always try to hide these numbers?

the most strongest heaviest armor fully upgraded only gives you the ability to withstand 1 extra hit

armor is literally just added because its one of those jap cosmetic things.
your character is like a doll and you are tending the miniature rock garden which is philosophically represented by the stale combat and bland gameworld

My suggestion is to play games blind instead of asking /v/ to help you before you even start the game. Enjoy being drained out in no time since you're being handheld.

It's worth just for dem dragon hips alone.

But the high fist damage, fire breath and force explosion are a very nice plus.

honestly
you would think this stat was added as an obvious bad choice to give diversity to some basic stat mechanics

master key is super helpful for new players though. its worth getting if you can remember where you were before etc and dont mind getting to harder areas before you are "ready"

I guess it can cheapen the experience somewhat because you dont have to look for as many keys. But it also opens up more doors sooner which some players will enjoy. its a preference thing really. the "dont pick master key for first playthrough" thing is really just a /vg/ meme.

This. There's literally no reason why anyone shouldn't go with the master key. It's really the only gift that actually stays useful for the entirety of the game.
>>
>>323922105
Use shields with 100% physical defense and decent stability. Dodging/rolling is great as well, but shields like this can really save your ass.

I suggest keeping your equip load low so you can have the light roll and medium roll so you're more nimble and shit.

Upgrade your weapons with titanite. This is really important. Try to upgrade your favorite weapons as much as possible. In this game, almost all weapons are viable, so I always say to just use what you like the most. Then you just upgrade the shit out of it and it becomes great.

>>
Going along with my current D&D campaign I decided to start up as knight. Pretty fun so far, though I'm playing quite conservative so as not to die. Not quite as hard as I imagined, though the first boss did get me once when I was trying to dodge it.

It's important to keep your weigh under 50% of the max right? Is there any place to store equipment then? I've got a full set of armor, a sword, and a mace right now which weighs me down a bit much. Should I drop one of the weapons and focus on leveling Endurance at the moment?
>>
>>323938140
Anything you do not have equipped does not contribute to your equip load. Just unequip one of the weapons and it will stay in your inventory while freeing up weight. There is also a bottomless box you can buy from a couple merchants that allows you to store things at a bonfire in case your inventory becomes unwieldy, but it's not necessary, just convenient.

People keep avoiding how armor works for some reason.
First play though armor really matters if you have full havles or smorgs on you can take around 8-12 hits form a near endgame knight in light it's around 2-4.
That's a huge difference.
In ng+ full havles let's you tank 2-3 max this is when you go light medium armor because movement is better then armor.
Every thing works well till ng+ then all armor turns to paper.

Is it bad that I'm relying so much on the black knight sword/silver knight spear during my first playthrough? I've tried other stuff, the halberd carried me through most of the early game and I've got a fire great scythe and titanite catch pole both at +5, but even with those and trying out some of the boss weapons, it feels underwhelming compared to the knight gear

>>323940525
At that point it doesn't matter, you've cheesed your way through the tough part. You just got a (un)lucky drop, no need to feel shame.

Is the bleed buildup enough to ruin someone's day? I've been using it in my recent playthrough but haven't PVPd with it yet. Not that I'll hit anyone in PVP anyway.
>>
>>323943552
I don't know about PvP as I never really do it, but it does work on some bosses if you hit them enough.
>>
>>323943625
especially assdemons
>>
>>323943625
I'm not good enough in pvp to land hits fast enough to get the bleed buildup to full, but expect the heavy attacks to do around 300 damage on their own when two handed, which isn't too bad
>>
>>323944157
we all saw it, retard
>>
>>323944157
the gold hemmed armour from the demon ruins doesn't give poison res?
>>
so are some bosses made with co-op in mind?
because i thought bloodborne was easy, but ornstein and smough did not know that they had a second form.
>>
>>323922815
^^ This get drake sword until you can get an lightning weapon. (spears are really good)
Don't waste all your stat points in endurance.
>>
>>323944381
O&S are tough but fair solo. But like every boss, they become a joke when you summon.
>>
>>323922105
don't get drake sword
>>
>>323944519
I summoned Lautrec and Solaire the first time I fought the gaping dragon just because I had no idea what was coming and thought having two summons would be fucking fun. I don't regret it, the fight was still fun, but it definitely wasn't challenging
>>
>>323944519
wasn't planning on summoning, i just heard someone say that some bosses were made for co-op and i was curious if they were one of them.
>>

>>
>>323944787
Baddies believe that because they're bad and wanna justify summoning without admitting that they're bad.
>>
>>323944787
I can't think of any bosses that were made with co-op in mind.

If you kill Smough first, you get Ornstein's armor, soul and Leo Ring (extra damage on counter attacks with thrust weapons. Spears, rapiers, I think Bows might count)

Killing Ornstein first gets you Smough's soul and armor, but no ring.

When one dies, the other goes "super." Super Smough is a lot easier than Super Ornstein, but it depends on who's armor and weapon you want and if you want the Leo Ring or not.

I think it depends on the player's skill. Some bosses are definitely easier with summons, but not necessary
>>

>Super Smough is a lot easier than Super Ornstein

???
>>
>>323942458
every speedrunner uses high poise armor (stone set) for Nito, and in fact that's a very good strategy for everyone, because no skelly deals a lot of damage, you almost never get stunned and you can hack away at nito peacefully

same for capra demon, using a higher poise set to be able to withstand a few dog attacks without getting stunned is very useful. Once the dogs are taken care of you can remove it mid-fight to get those sweet fast rolls against the demon

Even the area before capra demon, the lwoer burg, is easier with higher poise. Just whack the thieves and dogs without a care in the world for how much damage they do to you, chug some estus once you're done and proceed

the black izalith witch set that you get near ceaseless has high fire resistance, which is useful in izalith
>>
>>323945375
already decided to go with super ornstein.
>>
>>323945840
how can you find super ornstein easier than super smough?

super smough is just smough with a bit of lightning here and there, trivial to kill
>>
>>323945375
>>323946060
but still thanks and also why am i randomly getting extra estus flask?
>>
>>323946206
Super Ornstein is literally just hide under his legs and hack away, sometimes dodging when he does his AoE or his jump back slash thing. I think super Smoughs AoE has a bigger radius, too.
>>
>>323945840

He is right though.

It's a lot easier to stunlock Super Smough too than Super Ornstein
>>
>>323946297
yes and super smough's AoE deals more damage, but it has way slower startup.

Apart from that, super smough is slower in his movements, i know he can be stunned easily (i've neevr managed to stun super ornstein alone, even with +13 Large Club and shit), his attacks are piss easy to dodge and as soon as you're behind a pillar you're safe, whereas super ornstein has several attacks that go through pillars and moves fast so you have to run after him all the time

I was mustard only since like 98 before I played DaS. Blew my fucking mind, it was that perfect game I imagined when I was a kid playing Diablo online and imagining the future. Put probably 1000 hours into the game.

I honestly feel really bad when I see people shitpost against Bloodborne. I still main PC, but you really are missing out not playing the game. It was like experiencing DaS for the first time again, everything felt new and strange and that "whoa" moment when you stumble on some shit.

God fuck this image and this thread. Discovering the New Londo Ruins was an absolute joy once I realized the non-linear nature of the game.

I have a question.

If you give Atorias' soul to Ciaran and then attack her, does she fight with her fists? I mean, she hands over her weapons to you. I can't remember if she leaves immediately or something, but I don't have a savefile to check it out.
>>
>>323951923

I gave it to her on a save I made a year ago now and she's still fucking there no matter how many times I warp to somewhere else. I like to go over and bow to her each time I get on.
>>
>>323952126
Kill her, now, so that I will finally know.

She still has her weapons. Souls characters carry hundreds of copies of their equipment to give away.

I tend to forget he exists. I have maybe spoken to him like two times during all of my I think four play throughs.

Anon, this is more important than your lovey-dovey ego trip.

>>323952926
Ah, thanks. You'd think From's level of attention to detail would have prevented something like this.
