DUDE A STATUS EFFECT THAT EFFECTS THE PLAYER JUST BY GETTING

Protip: if you shoot the brain with a bullet it will deal massive damage.

Not many have found this trick because you need to aim with the monoculars to do hit the brain

What's the problem?

>protip: parry.

git gud

Dude just get as close as possible without getting spotted and then lunge with holy blade. Also, the graveyard set works wonders against these fucks because it has insane frenzy resistance

You can also parry their hug attack for similar results.

Just use the rune that increases frenzy resistance (clear deep sea I think) and sedatives, if you still struggle after that maybe you should play something else.

If youre stuck on the last phase just snuggle in right against the left of him and rotate with him while attacking.
He'll almost never hit you, the damage from the lava on the ground is almost nothing and you can easily outdps him even with skl weapons

>>324154945
It's a vagrant. Only cool people see them in the game. There's a white one and a black one.

I've seen both

>>324154945
I think it's a rare random spawn. It has homing needles or whatever the fuck it shat out.

>>324155217
there are 4 variants of vagrant anon

>>324153936
>he got cursed by basilisk gas
Literally never happened to me unintentionally. The bar doesn't fill up fast enough even if you have no curse resistant armor. The fuckers don't even directly attack you either.

You're much more likely to get cursed by Seath crystals.

>>324155553
kind of.

>>324155564
They mustve nerfed them.
At launch the would belly flop onto you and spray gas.
They also came in packs of 4-8 in small ass corridors.

It'd be nuts if like, 30 years from now Miyazaki says that there actually is a usage for the pendant that nobody could ever figure out without knowing.
But then, I just have a hardon for well kept undiscovered secrets in video games.

>>324153193
I could live with the constant frenzy if it weren't for the fact that their favorite attack is grabbing you.

So you get held in place long enough for Frenzy to proc but also get hurt in the process.

At low enough VIT, its basically an instant kill if you get grabbed.


I like the concept of frenzy, but I think it was poorly executed.

>>324154945
Its a vagrant. They spawn when another player drops an item.

But they are pretty rare. In all the times Ive played the game, Ive only seen 1 or 2

>>324157416
Even if your frenzy bar gets full while in the grab animation you don't get the frenzy damage.

>>324157564
It procs right after it lets you go, so it might as well.

>>324155720
No, not kind of, there's a aggro white and aggro red and a passive white and passive red.

>>324154337
What level are you m8? The lowest leveled character that I have is 148

>>324153193
Get rid of your Insight, wear Frenzy-resistant gear, don't get caught in their extremely telegraphed grab attack and time your use of sedative correctly.

Or just abuse parry frames like everyone else with a brain.

>>324157701
That's like saying gravelorded enemies are a brand new kind of enemy. They're the same thing buffed and with a red tint.

>>324153936
why did they add one of those in the level right before Wharf in Scholar? I don't get why, It's just there to be fucking ugly.

>bitching about lanterns, when they have a huge telegraphed attack that's really easy to parry and then do a visceral attack, considering you're invincible during the animation

Git good, or something. Or put on frenzy resist armor, you fucking idiot. Oh wait, I'm on /v/ where people are terrible at games.

His point is the color is the less important factor. Theres passive vagrants and active vagrants both of which come in 2 colors. So saying "I killed both a red and white one, so I got them all" would be less correct since whether they are active or not is more relevant.

Rare spawn that you'll never see.

Basically they spawn wherever someone dies twice and loses a very high amount of souls or humanity.

Demanding on certain factors of what the player was carrying, these ghost crab mobs can range from pathetically white ones with few attacks to red ones that can fire devistating lasers and homing spears.

The red ones only happen if like some dick wraith with 30 humanity dies twice and loses it all.

The white knights are extremely annoying, not difficult so it's not a huge issue.

Also why did they get rid of those giant spider monkey things in the beginning of Wharf? I remember being scared as fuck when I went into one of the homes and the cunt was right there.

Right when you get to the area with a house to your left, one to your right, and a short building to the right of that right house - there used to be one in that short building. Now it's some skeleton looking dude with some dual sword dude who jumps down.

>>324154945
OH SHIT


I'm okay
>>324159754
That is a semi-recent change though

>>324159009
In my opinion SotFS is exponentially easier than vanilla Dark Souls 2; I've put considerable amount of time in to both. Heide Knights are easy to deal with if you use blunt damage (stuns them with heavy attack) so you can just mash 'em down easily if you're using a club or something like any other mob.

As for Iron Keep; I don't think it's that much harder at all. Back stabs 1 hit the knights are they die in 2 hits from heavy attack (at least they have on all my playthroughs with various weapons). Just don't run away from them when they're coming towards you, generally you can kill 1 before the next one is there with enough time to roll and reposition.

You'll find they neutered many areas and made them much easier by reducing enemy count and type. The additional content is pretty good though, so if that's mainly what you're looking in to then you shouldn't be too disappointed.

>>324154526
I saw one of these the first time in the chapel after killing the knight. I had no idea what the fuck was happening. I wish they were more common because they're really cool.

>That is a semi-recent change though
It was added like 8 fucking months ago and I don't see why it being "recent" has to do with anything.

>>324159671
Clearly not since you think you'd have to read a wiki to use common sense

>>324161758
Its pretty early on in the game, there is no reason to expect that things will change like that.
Theres no reason to expect things wont change, but its hardly so unreasonable that you might miss the guy since walking all the way back might seem like a hassle when you can just warp.

Especially now when the game gives you a bone every time you kill a boss.
