Reminder to ignore, filter, and report the shitposter that frequents this general.

Here is a list of topics he posts:

>how much he dislikes 4kings and the drawfag who is associated with them
>random fanart of specfic characters (Kalameet, gwyndolin, seath, etc)
>fanart made by Menas
>picture of all the bosses in DaS1 (with 4kings always blotted or outright removed). He always starts with some varient of "circle your favourite souls boss, /dsg/".
>posts that have extreme dislike towards DaS2 (have some varient of "Dasdreck and DaS2babby")
>a list for "das3 players" about how they should hate DaS2 and praise DaS1

This isn't the only general/board he visits either; he shitposts on /wowg/ /tesg/ /fog/ and on /pol/ as the anglo hating german.


NOW PLEASE FILTER, REPORT, IGNORE, AND MOVE ON.

Finally finished the main game in SotFS, got my RoB +2, farmed a bunch of consumable shit, and I'm ready to start the DLC.

Got some juicy dox info on Duke here
Guide for the Dark Souls 3 fanbase:
1. Don't insult DaS1
2. Don't compliment DaS2
3. Don't make game design comparisons between DaS2 and DeS e.g. lifegems and grass, dying reduces your total health percentage. DeS is flawless because it's platform exclusive and the oldest game in the series.
4. Don't mention DaS2 unless you are actively shitting on it
5. Make sure you state that any given thing in DaS3 is "like DaS1/DeS", so that you aren't insinuating in any way that anything from DaS2 has made it in, even if it is a potential improvement or sidegrade.
6. State that you hope Soul Vessels make a comeback, but never mention the downsides and do not make any references to DaS2.
7. When someone mentions DaS2 (or even passively reminds you of its existence), drop oneliners such as (but not limited to):
>a. "lmfao are you defending DaS2 right now"
>b. ">he still plays Dark Souls Poo"
>c. "DaS2 was just fundamentally bad. Really glad FROM is returning to their roots with DaS3. Thank you Big M!"
>d. "It just had no story and wasn't very fun."
>e. "It was just so slow compared to DaS1."
>f. ">playing Yui shit"
>g. "Based Yui's tracking damage sponge giant armoured enemies hiding behind doors: the game featuring special guest every lore tidbit is from a lost and forgotten land"

Wait where do you get great magic weapon spell, I just have magic weapon. and is the magic mace good? I just2 got the dragonsslayer axe and it does lightning damage , where do you get the stones to infuse magic on weapons and where do you do it? I only have the black smith.
im using heavy arrow x2 and great heavy arrow x2 I have a pryo flame +2 with some spells. I have 30 int and 5 spell slots and im wearing the full jesters set (should i be wearing this?) Also snice i have no faith i cant talk to the hex guy and get the better staff. when and where can i get a better staff? should i upgrade the first one?
Im finding myself always overrun , even more so in the ironkeep. I beat the smelter demon with help along with many bosses but now i cant get any help to finish the rest of the iron keep at the second bonfire and the shaded woods is not orange (I have 60k SM) Will black gulch be orange and is there help there?

im pretty sure you can purchase great magic weapon from the dude in the boat area. use 2 great soul arrows and 2 heavy arrows, the dull ember should on the ledge before the smeter demon fight about 50 paces back on the ledge leading up to the allone captain that spams at you when you are on the bridge. as for staff, upgrade the starter to about +5 atleast as the staff the one dude sells im pretty sure takes faith too. you will find a better one later. as for armor, if you have the weight to spare, use the allone knight armor to keep your fire def up. if you have sotfs, i have no idea where the dull ember is, but it still applies.

For whatever reason, a song is now permanently lodged in my associative memory of DaS1. After foolishly wandering into Kalameet's basin and getting annihilated, going back through the proper motions of beating the rest of the DLC and getting Gouge's assistance, as I walked back down from his tower to face the dragon again, this song began playing on Pandora.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1AE6g8tEkI

I know feel strongly compelled to make on of those faggy fraps recordings on a NG+ playthrough of me killing Kalameet while this song plays.

Really dude most of your questions could be answered with google or just playing the game some more. It's your first playthrough, you don't have to get everything right. Especially as you can respec.

BUT I got nothing better to do and you posted a cute anime girl so I'll give you some answers from my int build experience

Firstly, I at least didn't get GMW before I fought the Old Iron King. Honestly I just used a bunch of soul arrows and spears from the little side platform but it doesn't sound like you have enough damage or casts for that, which is fine. That being the case, here's how to get magic weapons:
>find/farm a Faintstone
>unlock McDuff (in the Lost Bastille; coming from the Tower Apart bonfire, go through the tower where you meet Lucatiel, kill the mummy dude at the top of the flight of stairs, then kick the barrel he's guarding down the stairs and it'll blow up the cracked wall and get you another bonfire and the blacksmith)
>give McDuff your dull ember
>get him to infuse your shit
>upgrade your infused shit
>ta da

Honestly even if you could beat OIK with just spells you should get a +10 anyway.

The Bone Staff is better for hexes, but worse for sorceries than your default staff, so you probably shouldn't use it and upgrade your default instead.

You find your next good staff, the Staff of Wisdom in Brightrock, connected to Shaded Ruins, so if you want a better staff you should go there next, so, yes, Shaded Woods.

Jester's is fine but ugly, ew.

Yes. All you need is either the Infinite Items script with at least 2 orbs (you find 2 at the start of the game easily), or use the Highlighted Item script to set at least 1 orb to any quantity you want up to 99.

Carrying on.

60k SM sounds really really low de su, which is probably why you're not seeing many phantoms or much orange.

Some areas you can't put signs down. Try putting it in one of your item slots and walking around and see if it lights up. Or just try restarting and making sure you're online.

Personally I prefer swords but if maces are your thing the magic mace means you don't have to bother with McDuff or the Faintstone so I guess that's handy, though really you should unlock him anyways.

>>127366545
You can get a Faintstone behind one of the contraption doors in the Doors of Pharros (you should probably check the wiki to find which door, there's a lot of bogus ones).

The weapon is mostly a preference thing, but I use the longsword. It's got low stat requirements, a top tier moveset, and a good weight so if you don't know I'd suggest that one.

I'm pretty sure that that bit of the Keep is optional, to get the loot at the top with the three archers. Try not climbing the ladder in the room with the platforms. Also, in the room with the six bull heads, check the walls thoroughly.

Any other questions?
>>
>>127366628
Doesn't being a Blue Sentinel fix this? Like if you assist another player doesn't it stop Straid from attacking? Or does he just stop after a few hours in game?

This happened with the Bell Keeper guy. Came back after finishing the Keep and he was ok again.

>>127366628
Isn't the whole point of being a Sentinel to reduce points and avoid having to turn them into plots?

Most places say it reduces 1 point each successful assist to another player.

If you only have 1 point from pissing Straid off, wouldn't just assisting a player once fix that?

No sin and NPC agro are different things
If someone is upset with you you need to talk to cromwell from them to unagro
Sin is an entirely different thing that exists for multiplayer only basically.

Besides YOU don't lose sin for killing someone as a blue, the person you invaded (cbeo) or invader (summoned to help by wearing the ring) loses sin

>was that what the lockstone opened up?
There's a chest in the Doors of Pharros with a Faintstone in it. It's the contraption in the room with the long ladder, on the upper level. The ones on the ground floor just give you more enemies.

>if that section is not needed, do i have to go to the next fog gate by the second bonfire instead?
I'm not sure, sorry, I don't remember the Keep so well. What I mean is, going from the bonfire you get after Smelter, you go right, over the bridge with the knight and the ironclad on it, into the room with the lever right in front of you, yes? So you go through that room, don't climb the ladder and instead go past the three bulls and the one big bull on the bit that's on your right as you enter. There's a door on this bit leading to some stairs, which if I understand right is the area you're trying to jump down to with all the platforms.

As for SL, I have no idea to tell you the truth. I always end up massively overlevelled because of how I play (as in, poorly), so you're gonna have to find that one out for yourself.

Hey just got this game and haven't done anything to the Bell Keeper yet but he's in the way a lot of the time.

>Hit the Bell Keeper with a big swing a few days ago and joined the Rat guy for a bit but want to go back to the Bell Keepers

Is it a good idea to just knock the Bell Keeper out? Like if he's a stone he can't get in the way or be attacked anymore right?

How much does it cost to talk to him? Is talking to every stone 6k or are they different for each person?

If splash damage hits the stone will the stone get mad?

Do you have to give him 6k every time you want to join?

Because if so that sucks.

Is 1 m too much for Bell Keepers?

Gravestones revive NPCs until a load screen
The NPCs will act as normal and you can talk/do whatever with them
The cost varies by NPC, you can look up the numbers on a wiki

You really shouldn't be hopping covenants often enough for the revival price to matter

Over a year ago, I used to be a whimpy, depressed, emo git.

Then I played Dark Souls II. There's a line in the DLCs that is absolutely fucking relevant to our every day life:

"For now, seek strength. The rest will follow."

I've been doing bodyweight workout for approx. a year now, and it's completely taken away my depression. I'm motivated to gain strength in other ways, especially mentally. This is the best goddamn lifehack advice anyone could ever tell you. The main character in the game is stuck in this depressing state, seemingly completely devoid of hope, no way to fix anything. But he's told to seek strength, and the rest will fall into place. As far as the game's concerned, we're left to speculate how that happens, what the Undead does after the ending cinematic of choice, but in life it's the same thing. The whole game's an allusion to depression. You're never going to get any useful tip that will pull you out of that depression. Except for the advice to become stronger. I did that, and things are falling into place now. One by one things are getting better, and it all started with me literally seeking strength via working out seriously. That lead to me feeling more energetic, that lead to regaining motivation, that lead to rejoining the social scene, etc. etc. etc.

Just another reason why DaS II is one of my favorite games ever. This fucking game saved me, /dsg/.

You can get to about SL100-105 in the 500-599k SM tier, should be viable, might need to use the attunement slot rings and watch what spells you buy to make sure you dont end up spending too many souls on Yearn and Hush and shit

Replaying DaS1 and DaS2 (Scholar) back to back, I think I'm actually enjoying DaS2 more. The design is most certainly not as good, but most of the mechanical aspects are so much better that it makes up for it to me. Combat is smoother, movement is more fluid, and the weapons are fucking fantastic. I'm willing to sacrifice interconnectivity and nonlinearity for that.

Bloodborne is still the best though.

One of the main things keeping me from playing DaS2 is the fact that I have to disconnect my internet every time I wanna play. I don't like invaders, same in DaS1, I prefer invading myself and I typically like to have everything in the game done before I start caring about PvP.

I wish From would see these as more of a single player experience instead of trying to shoehorn PvP into the game and force it on people who don't want it / people who don't want it all the time.

another thing but ive been keeping every boss soul and i haven't traded in one besides the boss soul that gets you the heavy homing arrow. Why are none of these items for fucking spell casters? its not fair its fucking hard doing anything alone in my build.. so far i have 5 magic slots, 30 int, 8 (+5 ring) faith, I think 18-20 str, 18-20 dex and 19 vit. did i fuck up? im JUST now able to use hexes.

When you get one mad the other is mad too. They are the same Keeper they just appear wherever you are.

>>127375743
Both become stones don't they? Both are mad right now.

If you beat 100 greys in Sol or Luna but you're in the Heirs of the Sun, do they still count towards rank 3 since you don't need the ring or to join the Keepers for them to still show up?

Instead of giving up 4500 souls each time is it better to just take out the greys in Sol and Luna until the Majula cat says it's rank 3?

Should i ruin right through the mist area of the shaded woods so i can get to the ruins? because i think you cant get help here and its not orange for that bonfire, even now after the iron keep at 83k souls. What soul level is shaded ruins and the black gulcth? is this mist area easy to run through?
>>
>>127377825
>Why is shaded woods (the fork in the road) not orange? and why cant you put down summons? is it just that area? do i have to go through the fog fast to the next bonfire?
I've no idea, I'm afraid.

That's a fine stat base though. Not too different from mine. And really, boss soul weapons are rarely good anyways, so we're not missing out on much.

I think what you need is to get a magic infused weapon and get used to using it as well as just spells. It's not as cool but it's often a lot more functional and can do some good damage, especially with stats like yours. Honestly, I think, outside of PvP, I get more kills with my sword than with my spells.
>>
>>127378269
You are provided multiple means to avoid invasion in the game itself. Don't act like it's the developers fault that you dont want to participate in one of the core features of the game.

Shaded woods is very easy to run through, hug the wall on the left, skip the first turning left unless you want to speak to Vengarl, turn left at the second left to get to the next area.

God what a fucking pussy, you don't have to, you just feel like it, so don't complain because you can't handle a simple invasion. It's not like dying in DS2 matter that much anyways, everything is so easy to skip and there are bonfire in every corner.

Anyone? should i keep my boss souls for items in ng+?
>>127378426
It sucks that we get no spells or staffs from the boss souls. is there really only fucking one other staff and its in the glucth? thats it?
Im not counting the hex staffs because hexes are my second stat now.
I upgraded the normal staff a lot though oh and im using the magic mace and use shards on it a lot. I didnt get the magic smith yet though.

If you have the same build as me should i be leveling my faith (its 8 +5) now? im lv80 so levels are hard to get. Or should i be still level int or aiming for more slots?

I kind of wish power-stanced weapons had unique parries. Like, while doing it with katanas, you cross the blades and push outwards when your opponent's weapon hits them. Imagine doing that shit to Sir Alonne.

Probably some serious home issues. He shows signs of serious P T S D and strong autism to be going at this for a year and a half now of rage posting.

Most cases would point out this is most likely his only form of human interaction and as a virgin, he obviously has tons of pent up frustration and no way to relieve it.

Between that and being mediocre at the game, this is the only place where he can get it all out without getting beat up like he certainly does at home and other places in real life.

I've finished DS2 not long after its release and and now I'm playing DS1 for the first time. I'm currently at Duke's Archives. What were they thinking when they put a fucking scripted death into a game? I remember everyone was complaining about DS2 and how many ambushes, traps and other "you're going to die" bullshit it has. But holy shit, nothing in DS2 is worse than a scripted death.
Also Duke's Archives is probably the worst stage in Dark Souls series (though I haven't visited everything in DS1 yet). It looks like something that came straight from pre-reboot Tomb Raider series.

It's overpowered everywhere else. Why can't ther ebe one area where enemies are resistant to your bullshit? Your fault for not having any melee backup with you.

If it's a build and not a challenge, you should always have a melee backup. No exception. Just backstab the lions. It's not hard at all, they are slow as fuck. If you seriously are needing help with a caster build, you need to learn how to play. You just lock on and as long as you're not glued to your target, you'll deal damage. I don't see how yo'ure having trouble. And I'm not even accounting the binocular aiming trick.

If you beat 100 greys in Sol or Luna but you're in the Heirs of the Sun, do they still count towards rank 3 since you don't need the ring or to join the Keepers for them to still show up?

Instead of giving up 4500 souls each time is it better to just take out the greys in Sol and Luna until the Majula cat says it's rank 3?

So, I recently picked up SotFS and I am getting hopelessly lost in builds planning. The fact that most data is from the original game doesn't help.

alright alright alright I know about the shitposter here with nothing better to do

but

who else

genuinely prefers bed of chaos over 4 kings

like

bed of chaos at least has a bit of creativity behind it, and can be killed with whatever

but 4 kings is a bit of skill along with a dps check, which is something that really shouldn't be in a souls game which is based around 80% skill and maybe 20% equipment, although it can technically be 100% skill

it's definitely not the worst boss in the series (that title goes to the awful rat bosses in 2), but it's probably in the top ten, and is definitely the worst of DaS1

did you like it /dsg/? if not, how would you have improved it?

it really is an equipment check, which is stupid because no other bosses in the game really act like that
>>

It's something that was added with the SotFS patch. Since you're probably PS3/Xbox360/PC Direct X9, you only get the added boss and lore from Aldia instead of all the SotFS changes.

Playing DS1, I am a pyro with 16 str 16 dex, going to be an RPwraith with all the covenant gear.

Should I use the claymore or stick with the reinforced club? Is the 300 bleed even good against anything? Or is there some other weapon that would be BiS for getting through anor londo and 4kings?

>>127393252
Knight's Shield and Drake Sword are the main newbie identifiers. Drake Sword because guide reader and dosn't know how upgrades/scaling works. Knight Shield because they still think the attack from the shield is what decides if it's better or not.

>>127393252

It does more damage with shield bashes.

Ciaran shouldn't have picked a fight she couldn't win. She initially had the advantage against her draconic foe, but as time passed, she found herself tiring...with Kalameet showing little damage and no signs of slowing down. Suddenly, it happened...Ciaran could no longer keep up... As the dragon jumped at her, she ran underneath...only to stumble from her exhaustion. The fight was over, she had lost.

Kalameet cranes his neck around to look for his foe, only to see her collapsed on the ground, desperately trying to get back up. The dragon realizes that she was at his mercy and grins at the thought. Taking a few steps backwards, he begins to position himself right above the knight of Gwyn... She looks up in horror as Kalameet sits down upon her. When he lifts himself up, there is no sign of Ciaran, except her two tracers on the ground...until you look at the base of the dragon's tail. There, lies Kalameet's large anus...with Ciaran's thin legs poking out. Wanting to escape her tight prison, Ciaran begins to struggle and squirm, unwittingly massaging the dragon's prostate causing waves of pleasure to flow through the beast. His cock throbs with with each of her movements, preparing itself for release. Kalameet roars in satisfaction and tenses his anus muscles, drawing her further and further inside. She screams out as she slides deeper into the monster she was sent to kill, but no one but the dragon could hear her. Soon, her feet slip past his moist hole and she sinks all the way inside her captor. This drives Kalameet over the edge, causing him to blow his load.. His cum splatters across the forest floor. Satisfied, the ancient beast walks of, leaving behind a pond size puddle of dragon semen with the knight's trademark weapons floating in the center.

Drake Sword > +10 anything when you reach depths +Pyromancy, or Lightning Spears for Quelaag if you're making Faith build > Lightning Spear in Sens > Crystal Halberd/Occult Club in Anor Londo > By this point you should have your weapon of choice and the ability to invest/upgrade it fully.

All of these options let you easily kill bosses solo without you really needing to farm or upgrade anything.

You don't even need to farm. You just need 9 total after getting the ember. You can bring Drake Sword/(Great) Lightning Spear to Queelag. Otherwise, you'll get several from easy to reach corpses in blighttown swamp. Then on your way to Sen's, you stop at Andre, +6 your weapon, and then you get 6 more easy to reach shards from corpses in Sens, which you can then use to finish +10ing your weapon at a bonfire. If you're a few short, just buy from the merchant in Sens.

Seriously, I do this all the time. Pre Lordvessel, you don't need to really upgrade anything, or farm at all.

Is maxed SM PvP absolutely terrible? Never maxed out SM in SotFS and I'm just kinda blindly playing through but upgrading any new equipment I enjoy. The generic cookie cut soldiers are wrecking me through my current armor but I'm kinda weary of farming shit because of lolSM-related reasons.

I don't think I like all sword arts consuming mana in DS3, it kind of hurts some roleplaying for me if I just want to be a regular guy in armor with nothing fancy, just a sword and shield, which is typically how I do my first DS playthrough.

All in all bretty gud for my first time fighting another player outside being invaded as a phantom with 3 others and the enemy just getting molested if I do say so myself.

Also is the Sanctum Knight armor one of the best in the game? It's stronger than pretty much anything else I have by a long shot and lighter than most too. A shame the helmet looks silly since it's so good statwise I feel stupid not wearing it.

I've actually tried to PVP with DaS2's Flamberge, it didn't go very well.

Okay, so, a coworker of mine was talking about DaS/DaS2/Bloodbourne stuff, and he mentioned he found a shortcut from Valley of Drakes to Tomb of Giants in DaS1. He fell off a ledge and landed near a cave entrance that had one of those Lantern Skelemancers and it lead straight into the Tomb. But apparently he didn't complete Sen's Fortress and couldn't get back up. For some reason.

Anyone know anything about this or should I call him out on his bullshit?
>>
>>127402448
That's bullshit, the game's been datamined to hell by this point.
If it were still early in the game's life cycle though I would totally believe him, hell my brother thought being able to return to the Asylum/go to the Painted World was a made-up "that kid" story until I showed him how to.

Why would that matter? You can get back to Firelink even without the ability to teleport at bonfires.

he's also easy if you know how to trick the ai
dodge left into his swings
and whenever you can, dodge backwards a bit to bait the overhand smash
when you can see cracks on his greatsword, with the fire in them, that means he won't cast his dark buff
keep baiting that attack and he'll never cast it
be patient, dont try to get too many hits in at once
dodge into his sword, get behind him, hit him once or twice real hard, rinse and repeat

Hey /dsg/, it's my first time through Dark Souls 1. I just killed the moonlight butterfly, and I have a fuckload of souls. Should I go buy the crest of Artorias from Andre and go through the locked door, or should I put my souls into upgrading and go after the Capra demon again to make it into the lower undead burg and presumably, finally get to the second bell? He wrecked me the first time.
>>
>>127419430
Upgrade your weapon(s) and then yes, go fight Capra Demon.
>>
>>127419430
You don't need to get the Crest of Artorias until much later, it's more important to upgrade your weapon and go to the lower burg/depths.
>>
>>127419430
did you get the poise ring from the forest it helps with capra if you have no poise since it will let you take a dog hit without getting staggered
>>
>>127419430
Buy the crest if you have 20k

Beating capra is mostly about learning to use invincibility frames on the roll to not get hit by his attacks. Block dogs, wait for capra to go into an attack animation, dodge roll backwards, kill the dogs, now you have the easiest 1v1 "bossfight" in the game.

Key to this is having a good enough weapon to oneshot the dogs though.
>>
>>127419589
The wolf ring? Yeah, I grabbed it. I'm wearing the elite knight set and have 84 poise total which, assuming I understood what I read on the wiki, means I can tank literally anything now, assuming I have the stamina.
>>127419628
I'm using the halberd and the drake sword, with enough strength to wield each one-handed. Should I use either of their two-handed strong attacks on the dogs? The halberd spinning should hit both I assume but would leave me open, and the drake sword has that massive wind up.
>>
>>127419998
I would go with drake sword one handed R2, the forward moving cleave

Also don't forget about running up the stairs on the left side of the arena to create some space

So does the Looking Glass Shield auto deflect spells when you block them? Because it says spells parry but the it has a shield bash animation.

I want to get every achievement in Dark Souls1.

>>
>>127422884

I think the problem is that people liked him because he was from /v/ or /vg/ and owned the steam group, so people were very vocal pre-DaS2 about shitting on enb or promoting vaatividya.

Then he fell out and became a ledditor and pissed off Bloodborne leddit and hasn't recovered since. He's waiting for DaS3 to be relevant again.
>>
>>127422721
Go watch it, if you don't have vendrics blessing then its literally nonsense you walk away from the throne and most likely end up hollowing the first time you fall down a flight of stairs you are doing nothing differently, if you have vendrics blessing then you get to wander around until the end of time because you can't die or hollow with Aldia chilling in your head

He didn't really make much content for DaS2 either. Jumped to BB when it came out.

that's becuz he had no lore theories to rip off from enb and because that game's lore sucked dick lol

You can't blame him. DaSII has next to no NPC lore. They exist only to serve the player. Those with stories just abruptly end with no resolution.

Honestly I find DS2 graphics worse than DS1

>much smoother gameplay

Nah not in my experience, movement is really weird compared to DS1 and rolling is absolutely fucked with needing to read a wiki to figure out how your roll works. The only change I really liked to the gameplay was moving jump to a different button than roll.
>>

literally people playing SotfS edition, likely on console.
It's the most recent game, besides bloodborne, and there are console people who are still playing it new.

>someone invades me at 50k SM
is this DS1? Thats fucking sad.
>>
>>127423341
>movement is really weird compared to DS1
Whining about ADP is one thing, but rolling in DS2 is consistent like pretty much everything in DS2, DS1 has janky ass animations where your character loses and gains momentum randomly throughout the roll, you start of as really slow, accelerate to light speed midroll then slow all the way back down as you are landing.
The same is somewhat true for most weapon attack animations where you have shitloads of windup and recovery and next to no actual attacking frames

Hurrr durr thats more realistic incoming, go watch an actual person roll, DS1's rolling is the stupidest fucking thing
>>
>>127423519

DaS2 rolling is bad and slow. Also epic hitboxes.

While lacking atmosphere I think the individual areas feel a lot cooler, the gameplay is smoother but in a way I don't like, I think there's actually less armor/weapon variety. I really do appreciate the game having better graphics though, some areas like Majula are really nice to look at.

I get regular twinking
but this is some ultra faggotry to swap +10 weapons and gear on a fucking 50K SM character
whatever makes these sore shitters feel good about themselves I guess

Go play DS1. who are we kidding you don't even own it The rolling in that game looks so stupid, the animations in general both on you and enemies are all wonky as all hell and can't hold a candle to 2
It's a fucking joke
>>
>>127423683
Yes, that's actually one easy way to farm sunlight medals at bosses like Covetus Demon and smelter demon. They have a bonfire right after their fight and you just need to backtrack to their door to drop your sign.
>>
>>127423793
Not that guy

I agree DaS1 looks more stupid but it feel much better
>>
>>127423182
DaS1 is the better game for PvE, but DaS2 is the better game for PvP.

Personally I value PvE more though, so I love 1 more than 2. Both are GOTYs, though.

Two thirds of it, yes.

>>127423786
It's actually possibly to get a +10 weapon at 30k SM. He may be using one of the few CREOs you obtain during the game (but he has most likely justgiven himself 99 with CE to be a dickass). You can burn an effigy in the bondire at the start of a zone to suppress invasions for 30 minutes.

Also nobody has mentioned that you can only roll in the 4 cardinal directions while locked on in DaS1.
>>
>>127422894
You could try dark sorcery, which is exclusive to the DLC. The spells are kinda cheesy though and makes the rest of the bosses in your playthrough trivial, i.e. 2~3 point blank dark beads can kill Gwyn.
>>
>>127423931
Glad we agree.

>>127423998

Ya DaS2 fucking sucks. The directional dead zone is fucking stupid too, I can't believe people on console can't get that out.

I played it last thursday. Motion capture in DaS2 is awful while the hand animation in DaS1 looks way smoother.
Gameplay wise DaS1 rolling and movement is better, you move slower overall in DaS2 other than swinging weapons.

Best Dex scaling greatsword in the game, has the highest counter damage of any greatsword, is extremely light (and therefore good on stamina usage), the only downsides are how late in the game you can get it and the fact that you can't buff it and it automatically goes away when you start NG+.

>>127424472
I hope you're not implying cheating somehow to make invasions better. The point is, Soul Memory is fixed with the Agape Ring and that other stuff isn't important.

That one part in vanilla Shrine of Amana was a complete motherfucker to get through, but the zone was quite interesting aesthetically.

>>127424383
Very lightweight for a greatsword, amazing counter damage. Not infusable or upgradable but can be buffed.

Anyone else get the feeling that they kinda made a load of unique looking zones, and then realised they had to actually link them together and just did it in the most hamfisted ways possible?
>>
>>127424345
wow that's so much better than the game where PvP is ded after SL135, poise is ridiculously good, falchion + DMB is the go-to build, the dedicated pvp arena is a small little rectangular courtyard where shitters can fuck off into the level and you can do literally nothing about it :^)

not to mention whips are less than viable, bows are even worse than 2's, a lot less weapon and armor variety (have fun cosplaying as a paladin with like 3 remotely-looking paladin sets), large weapons minus the zweihander are just plain bad, twinks run rampant and pyromancy costs little stat investment and is 10x better than sorceries or miracles minus range

that's also leaving out soulvessels, which mean you don't have to go through a game and a half to get a single build set up, no way to buy chunks or slabs, no bonfire ascetics so farming souls is even more tedious than Giant Lord and like 4 rings are useful in PvP (ROFAP, Havel's, DWGR and Cloranthy)

fite me
>>
>>127424603
Last I checked there is no agreed upon SM so the ring doesn't help much.

I assume that's exactly how they did it. If they could find a way for the map to actually make sense/fit well together it would be better than the DaS1 map.
>>
>>127424790
DaSII's PvP is only balanced because nothing does any damage

hey guys,

just bought SotfS as my first Souls ever.
What is an "easy" build to get into the game? Full mage?
played it for like 30min and spamming Soul Arrow was pretty easy
>>
>>127424858
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNXBrGd3Nc4
What the fuck are you even talking about
>>
>>127424668

I agree Shrine was great visually but that level is just as bad as Capra Demon and Dragonbutts pre-patch in Lost Izalith.

Lost Izalith is a really pretty area other than the BSP hole before fog door too.

>>127424694

>Going past SL100 or 120 if you enjoy insufferable CMW and DMB buff builds

What the fuck?

Composite bow has better rings for it for 40str 40dex than DaS2 also power within evil eye is pretty sick. Like Force in DaS2, all Greatbows suck ass in DaS2 because of lack of knockback.

All straight sword movesets in
DaS1 and DaS2 are the best which is why people like the heavier ones like the claymore. Twinks are better because it's a better PVP experience overall nor should pyromancy require a stat investment nor was pyromancy ever better than DaS1's magic or miracles compared to great chaos fireball, lingering flame and flame swathe in DaS2.


>implying Warped Sword buffed isn't the same as DMB falchion

l-lol?

DaS2 lmao.
>>
Does DSfix improve performance at all or is it just for making the game look better, I'm playing on a toaster anyway so if all it is is making things 60 fps and higher resolution I don't think I'll bother with it.
>>
>>127424889
full str.
clubs, maces, or bashing weapons.
>>
>>127425010
it helps if you're on a toaster, you can actually make the render resolution smaller than your screen res, might have a better experience then (even if it looks a tiny bit worse)
>>
>>127424694

Oh and Demon's Spear as an offhand weapon in DaS1 is more useful than any dual wield or power stance build in DaS2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwfk3f5dJws&feature=youtu.be&t=40

tfw pvp in DaS2 sucks.
>>
>>127424889
An easy build is to pick Bandit as your fisrt class
Quit the game
Snap the disc in half
Then slit your throat with the disc
>>
>>127425010
You could possibly use it to improve if you set the game to render lower than the minimum resolution enforced by the game, but I expect wierd shit will happen and you wont' be able to read the text very easily
>>
>>127425089
Power stance is now pretty useful in PvP, but for the wrong reasons.

you can set it all the way to 200x100 or something ridiculous if you wanted, I don't think there is a lower limit and nothing weird happens like when you set it to 60fps
but yeah below 640x400 is starts getting hard to read
>>
>>127425259

Ya I'm aware I don't think it'll ever get close to one of the lightest weapons in the game being the longest reach to stop fisher retards.
>>
>>127424858
DaS2's PvP is balanced because B-Team favored it over PvE

if the game was kept as it was on release in terms of item adjustments it'd essentially be DaS1 PvP 2: Electric Boogaloo except replace pyromancies with hexes and make it so poise isn't even a thing anymore

>>127425089
someone hasn't used powerstanced Heide Greatlances before

I mean I still think DaS1 is the better game overall but DaS2 has better PvP and more replayability due to the sheer amount of content
>>
Bad luck or can't I get summoned after a coop fight again without doing a certain action other than putting my sign down?
>>
>>127425432

tfw they focus on the pvp but make it rly insufferable to actually invade.
tfw they sort of did that for bloodborne too.

Why not just have DaS1 pvp re-tooled for weapon balance with way of the blue/blue sentinels if they cared so much about players whining about being invaded.

Why do you think DaS1 pyromancy is good except for GC and BF?
>>
>>127425309
When I tested this on a Surface 3 tablet, there was a lower limit where the game crashed on loading a character. I think this is around 320x something, but it is ridiculously low. If you know what you're doing it's fine but the text is unreadable and the title screen is absolutely fucked (it sort of wraps at the screen edge back around

>>127425454
Effigy effect does not prevent you being summoned. Check at the bonfire travel screen there is an orange border around the zone you're trying to be summoned in
>>
>>127425432

I have. All I did in 2014 was power stance because shields are god awful unless it's to block all magic sans crystal soul spear chip, dark and with enough str fire.

Srsly good pvp guys.
>>
>>127425519
low stat investment for amazing damage

also some really interesting spells eg. Fire Surge and Undead Rapport

seriously, Fire Surge is great against low-health two-handing people or turtlers with low fire resist shields
>>
>>127424734
Not him but I'd give you the gentle dicking.
>>
>We will never have custom animations for power stanced back stabs
>>
>>127425830

Fire Surge and one of the whip spells around a corner owns in that situation ya.

Pyromancy still shouldn't have any scaling other than soul investment into an item though, it's just a thing that's pre-determined with no real scaling that I enjoy about DaS1.
Better than 4 seperate spell paths with 4 ways of scaling for weapons, really.
Srsly why is hexes srsly a thing that requires both Int and Faith variations for spells and/or buffs on top of Pyro and fire damage being enhanced by both Int and Faith too?

Dark souls 1 PvE is pretty lame after a while imo. You can backstab most common enemies and they won't do much to prevent it. Also items are pretty useless and a waste of time using in that game so you don't really need to plan so much in that game.

It looks like items in dark souls 3 plays a bigger role like in dark souls 2, so that is good. I hope they make the ai be able to punish backstab fishing more often.
>>
So, I just beat Bloodborne for my first time - I though it was nothing short of brilliant!

I also played Dark souls way back when it was released, which I'll rate just as good as Bloodborne.
I'm now seeing Dark souls 2 for sale on Steam.I never got to playing it and I'm slighty turned off due to some of the "hate"

So my questing is basically: Is it worth to buy or will I sit and think "This is not a true Miyazaki souls game" during my playthrough?
