I wonder if Anor Londo is still a thing in that timeline. Maybe he decided to just shoot him because it's not like there's an anor londo to destroy anymore, just gwyndolin sitting next to her dads tomb.

Maybe they were never able to get close enough to Kalameet before? Iunno.

That scene where Ghough shoots him down is fuckin rad though regardless.

Seriously, just fucking-

Good god, look around.

>>128667162
magic is indeed too easy
the game is known for being cryptic
he had a +10 weapon that is the highest a new player will have by the time he reaches anor londo and unless he's going for a black knight weapon cheese, he won't be dealing much damage to bosses. Quelaag is a prime example, she has a shit ton of HP and you have a +5, +7 weapon at best when you get to her.

>>128667706

BAIT

>>128668180
It's commonly accepted that those guys are referred to as gargoyles tho

>>128668043
You die when you don't know what you are doing. But I fail to see a bad thing in that.

At least on DS1 I feel like I have mastered PvE, I can complete the game in 1-3 deaths.

But on DS2 every once in a while I get gangraped or stunchained to death.

>>128667828
It is when their attacks overlap and go through each other, but hit you. DaS2 did a better job at multiple enemies than DaS1 did.

O&S isn't a hard fight, it's tiresome because you just backpedal all the time and kite them around, waiting for a chance to hit one of them. Unless pikachu does one of his glitched charge attacks, that was and always will be complete bullshit.

Hoping DS3 has a cool transformation for the Dragon covenant

I think I have never seen a weapon that is more horrible than the Halberd.

>>128668327
Because you have no way of knowing what will happen next. Souls games usually reward the obervant and patient player while the guy who rushes straigt into everything gets murdered. The pressure plate traps in Sen's Funhouse are a good example - if you are observant, you'll see them. But the dogs at the capra demon? That is bullshit.

I also don't see how you can be gangraped to death, considering that most enemies that appear in groups are slow to attack and have huge recovery windows. You can literally poke the Royal swordsman in the Bastille do death if you use a spear and funnel them through the door. Also Alluring Skulls are a thing and allow you to deal with multiple enemies easily.

>>128668826
Iron Keep with the archers
Most of the DLC's
Anything with archers

Those things will fuck you up. Also almost all of my characters are low level twinks.

>>128668714
And now I'm getting fucking mad, you can't kill anyone with half a brain if you use a halberd.

>>128669219
>Iron Keep
Git gud, have you tried not running into all of them and clearing them as they slowly waddle over to you?

>>128669374
I'm not a noob, I know how to deal with them, it's just if the archer gets a hit on you there is a big chance that you are dead when there is one of them "slowly waddeling" to you. They are fucking Sonic on meth.

>>128667561

You can use it to safely kill the Hydras and the Blue Wyverns.

>>128669576
>big chance that you are dead when there is one of them
Again git gud, the archer literally can't hit you if you stand behind either the first or second buttress before the bridge, he won't move to snipe you at an angle either.

>>128669720
>he won't move to snipe you at an angle either.
BULLSHIT ALERT BULLSHIT ALERT

>>128669774
He won't
This is coming from someone that regularly makes twins and who likes farming the area.
The first and second buttress are safe zones

Iron Keep is one of the "best" areas of DS2 scholar because shit players constantly bitch about enemy gangrapes and archers that they can totally deal with easily.

>>128669919
He does strafe, I'm absolutely sure of that. At least on SOTFS he does.

Am I retarded because I'm fumbling around in Tomb of the Giants sliding and shit, die to 2 giant skellies and I didn't find the first bonfire there.

When did they fix the BB glitch?

>>128667162
He's completely right about magic and the two gargoyles.

Post the funnest and most boring weapon in DaS2

>>128670110
So twinks have to work marginally more for their equip.

>>128670025
Only if you are behind the third of fourth butress does it become an issue.
Again I don't care at all about what you have to say because you are either a liar or someone that hasn't tested that shit for themselves.

Iron Keep pre smelter has 1 1v2 enemy encounter that can turn into a 1v1 if the AI does strange things and the archers are never an issue, anyone who says otherwise is memeing or just retarded, take your pick because you are in the "every boss is a dude in armor" crowd of flat out being wrong

>Scythe moveset

>>128671316
Incredibly easy to parry, except for the unparryable attacks ofc.
Insane stam drain for the damage it does.
Horrible onehanded attack tracking/hitbox width.
Recovery time that make me want to rip my eyes out.

>>128671545
>>128671575
git gud

>>128671970
Yeah sure, you go up against Longswords and Estocs dips that have 105 agi with that turd on a stick.

>>128671545
The scythe moveset is honestly better, except in tight corridors.
The sweeping second 1hr1 is nice.

>>128671575
Yeah. If you're using it 1h, you're using the 1hWD and parry fishing.
2h moveset is where it shines. Learn to cancel recovery time by r1ing after an attack and immediately rolling, and it becomes far more usable.

>>128672192
>cancel recovery time by r1ing after an attack and immediately rolling
Fuck me, 300h on DS2 and only now I know that.

It seems that I can't pull it of with onehanded attacks, which weapons can you do that trick with?

It works on 1hr1s. It takes a little bit of timing.
Anything you can cancel the animation of, which is most weapons.
I don't think it works on r2s.

Here's a normal 1hr1 and a recovery time canceled 1hr1.

>>128672932
>poke based moveset
Only exists on the syan's halberd, and the syan's halberd is basically a spear for the damage it does.
The second thrust 1hr1 isn't very good. It has no tracking and is just a lance thrust
The scythe's second slash 1hr1 has a very large arc and can hit people moving around you.

>are necessary for the changes they made to encounters

You mean those same encounters where he says the game does an absolute shit job at explaining how you should be tackling them? Those encounters that he says he can't himself even say whether they're better or worse in DaS2 because of something as simple as framerate? (really has this dude not heard of DSfix)

>>128673548
The scythe's 2h moveset is the shittiest part, the 1h is still pretty shit though with serious tracking problems. Still has the worst sweetspots too of any weapon not called Scythes/Greataxe

>>128673779
Press it slightly after the weapon hits the ground, when you see the sparks.

>>128673995
Anon... the halberd and the scythe have the same 2h moveset.
Almost all halberds do.

>>128674396
>powerstance quick attack thing
Please don't tell me there are more things that I'm absolutely unknowing about.

why is controlling ultra greatswords so hard in DS2.

Moving just a little while you're swinging makes your swing fuck up but so many of them only have an overhead swing as their standard attack that I wind up missing because the enemy moved two inches to the left.

>>128674292
bait a roll and aim where they land, sword and katana users don't know free aim exists so make the most of it

>>128674501
If you're powerstancing and do any attack and immediately, as in 3 frames lenience, hold Y / Triangle, your attack animation will come out something like 15% faster.
It's really rather difficult to do consistently and doesn't have much application. Far harder to do than what I'm saying.

>>128674661
to do this is to not lock on to the tiny penis sword pokers?

Actually ultra greatswords are the few weapons that don't fuck up if you move, you can be running forwards, already have hit R1 and still hit 180 degrees behind you. It's just practice, though rotating the camera and pushing forward slightly will help you aim.

It's been a while, but here's 2.0.
Got rid of the major changes and implemented a mini-FAQ since there's not been any updates nor are there likely to be any further ones.
Made enough minor tweaks on 2.0 that I could've probably posted four updates alone.

You see something you don't understand or think is wrong, ask. Assuming it isn't in the FAQ.

so if i get this right

enter dragons and the first flame
gwyn decides to beat the dragons but the first flame starts losing power
therefore he decides to go rekindle it, in kindling it he basically makes his powerful soul its new fuel
events of das1 have the chosen undead rise, visit anor londo and finally go to the kiln of the first flame where he can either link it (so the cycle repeats) or let it end so a new age can begin (canon ending which then links with das2)

now where does das2 start? the age of gods is gone, Vendrick creates a kingdom and Nashandra appears and tells him to steal something from the giants (what?) while this is happening the kingdom becomes accursed by the undead curse and shit starts hitting the fan. the first flame is still dwindling and vendrick refuses to kindle it. he locks the throne (what's the power of the throne?) and leaves because nashandra turns out to be a daughter of manus. then the events in das2 happen, you manage to open the throne and after killing nashandra you get the choice to enter the throne and link the fire again or you can leave it and let it be extinguished

is that about right? as you can see i am a extremely stupid individual and struggle when stuff isn't told to me directly

Yes. Element infusions are why the Lost Sinner's Sword does so much batshit damage, the split spread is gigantic.
Sin removes scaling and any bonuses from rings or buffs.

>>128679608
Drakekeeper's Greataxe belongs on that row. It can definitely hold its own against the bandit knife, butcher's axe, red iron, claymore.
It is also pretty clearly above the row directly below it, with things like darkdrift, curved nil, etc.
Its range and moveset are the best and it doesn't have that sweet spot anymore.

Ivory King also definitely deserves it. Killing people in two~three hits, best range on an ultra, extra damage laser that makes spacing against it difficult, etc.

I guess it doesn't take the recently discovered stance switching and quick attacking into acount. That shit shuffled the meta big time.

Also multihit weapons need to go higher.

Could've fooled me with some of the matches I get

>>128680138
I know for a fact that I deal around 700 damage with max sin dark infused LSS 2HR1. How much damage would I deal with it without sin?

If I get softbanned from vanilla DaS2, will I also get softbanned from SotFS?

>>128680372
It doesn't quite need a specific build. The scaling is pretty poor when infused, the rings are the big thing.
For invasions, I'd go with base str/dex to wield it, and a decent amount of faith for sunlight blade. Lightning makes it even deadlier in certain areas.
For the arena, any infusion will work. I'd recommend using one element but buffing it with a different one, so they swap their rings wrong.
RoBFlynn. 12 weight is lenient.

You're going to be two-shotting people, landing one 2hr1 will end a fight most of the time.

>>128680895
Significantly more. My 150 lightning LSS blueberry has yet to meet a person that survives a RoBFlynn SLB 2hr1-2hr1 combo.

>>128681810
And how do you do that?

>>128681196
Well, why not? Again, 10+ sin removes any bonus you get from rings and scaling and sacred oath.
That's something like 200+ AR.

>>128681207
Chaos Rapier has nice scaling, including the highest fire scaling in the game at 70%.
You slap charcoal resin on it and it deals pretty great damage. It does have mildly poor range though.
Don't infuse it, it makes it worse.

Ricard's has more pure dex scaling than most other rapiers have combined str and dex scaling, and then some.
100%, though it's got some bug/feature where it has 50% scaling at +0 and ramps up to 100%, like other 100% dex scaling weapons.
The R2 isn't why it's up there, it's irrelevant.
It can reach some pretty crazy AR. 160 base, +200 at 99 dex, + 150 from RoBSoFlynn for 510. 465 at 50 dex.

Very informative, thank you. Would flame weapon be a good substitute for resin? I don't really have many right now.

What are the usual best Dark-infused, or just Dark Weapon options? I know Dark/Reasonant Weapon builds are disgustingly common, but I figured I'd pick something if I was going Hex on my next build anyway. I know the sickle used to be kinda nice in vanilla

I kinda want to start over again now, damn that is a bummer.

>>128682451
Man, how many times do you want me to repeat this? That damage isn't even special for the Lost Sinner's Sword.
Your sin is negating your ring bonuses. The negative sin scaling doesn't go below the weapon's base AR, this is why it's usable with sin.
But it's just better without.
You get me yet?

>>128682584
It'd be like using magic weapon instead of crystal magic weapon. Better than nothing, but still.
Flame Weapon got some specific nerfs a long while back.

>>128682709
You haven't played for a long while, have you?
There aren't many options that are better than pure physical anymore.
Resonant Weapon is complete trash now. Dark Weapon is still the best buff in terms of duration scaling, but element defense is understood and common now.
You go full dark, you're going to get +3 Dark Quartz Ring'd.

The other axes have been buffed multiple times and have surpassed the Silverblack Sickle. Even the Hand Axe. Thing's got 270 base damage at +10 now.
Sacred Chime and Crypt Blacksword are still good infused. Silverblack Spear was untouched, but it's still better with resin.
Scholar of the First Sin added two edgy Dark weapons, but they have hollowing scaling like the dark pyromancy flame.

So I could swear there was a promo screenshot of Majula, like, the cliffside right after you exit the cave, that featured some kind of makeshift memorial with sword markers

Actually, nevermind, I found it- but was this ever a thing? I dont recall this being the bonfire icon, is it?

So I just picked up DaS 2 for xmas but haven't had a chance to do a ton since I've been traveling for work a lot. I'm doing a hex build and trying to farm the silverback sickle (absolute pain in the ass) and I think my next step is to go through aldia's because I finished the crypt and can't fight off the king since I don't have the giant souls.

anyway is it just more pushing through these areas? I haven't accessed DLC yet (figured I would after completing main story), but it's getting a bit repetitive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysVD6_xhvIs

By extension using magic is basically having no dick.

>>128684218
90% of the shit in the teasers/trailers/promos didn't make it to the final game

just look at the of masks and dragons trailer

>>128684231
what do you define as "pushing through" though? I mean, after Crypt there's at least 3 more areas, (the second and third being very short, second is even entirely skippable via a shortcut) and then its giant soul farming time if you want Vendrick's crown, otherwise you go for the final boss, or do the DLC

>>128684231
you should try roaring halberd for hex builds, amazing damage for pvp (you need a lot of practice) and pve

>>128684231
You are pretty much at last portion of the base game then. For the base game you have Aldias keep + Dragon place then giant memories and your done. You can do all of that in like 2-3 hours, after thats its kill Vendric, and go to the throne.
If you have the 3 DLC keys then getting to the DLC after getting the Ashen Mist Heart is a good point (its a mandatory item can't miss it) because
a) You need said heart to access one of the bosses in one of the DLCs
b) The DLCs are designed for lategame characters

>>128684624
>Hex builds
This is why I've defaulted on Dark Quartz +3 for my 4th ring slot

>>128684218
That was part of the teaser site. There was some obscure feature, like hits to the page or something that gradually added swords and things.

>>128684351
That's okay, that's what the magic is for; creating a dick.

>>128684842
what are other good noob pvp builds? I was pretty good pvp in dark souls, but haven't really found anything so far that seems like a good area to practice that sort of thing...like remember artorias' area in the DLC? or getting the knight armor right before S&O and pretending to be one of the enemies when people would invade you?

It's generally in the 850~900 range without counter damage. With, it's around the 1000~1100 range.
Counter damage in Amana? Well. Target Destroyed.

Note that of course like other element weapons, element defense is gonna severely cut that.
But even against dark builds, it's still gonna do 800+ on counter hits.

>>128686765
No, jumping should be switched to the X button and a dedicated stat for acrobatics should be introduced. At 30 acrobatics you should be able to double jump, and at fifty you should be able to air boost. The meta would be trying to fall on your opponent for a plunging attack.

M+KB is totally doable in DS2, there is a setting that you'll want to turn off in the menu, which disables the delay at the cost of shortening your window for double-clicking. I can't remember exactly which setting that is, though...

He kept going on that you don't need fire and that if you don't attack the spiders they stay passive.

>>128690704
>>128690892
Yeah, because fucking over all platforms in some way surely is the best business decision.

>>128691363
Anon they literally did it because consoles physically can't handle DX11

>>128689852
>best looking mace in the game
>can't get it

Why did they do this?

Stay pleb, faggot. Enjoy your objectively inferior hardware and the limitations that come with it.

>>128683813
The DLC takes place 200-300 years prior to DaS1 according to the devs.

>>128691484
It's a real shame. If it's any consolation, it probably would have just had a copy-pasted moveset. We can dream though.

I respecced my build and started buffing my lightning LSS and it's dealing 880 a hit. That's a 140 damage increase.

>>128691552
I enjoy it.

>>128680285
>That shit shuffled the meta big time
lel, as gimmicky as reverse rolls

why does DS2 have so many more UGS than DaS

>>128692416
Because it has way more weapons in general

>>128692581
Yeah but half of them are just reskinned shit with the same moveset.

What's a good clericy outfit in DaS2
I just realised all the really nice ones are end game as fuck, I'm considering just hacking something in

>>128692663
Similar movesets is a thing that applies to the UGSes as well.

>>128692663
I know this pain, Anon. I just want them to feel different.

do any of you have a max SL character on DaS2 or SotFS? how long did it take?

>>128693121
SL300something is the highest I'v gotten and thats like NG+4 or some shit
The way leveling costs scale is kinda odd, there is a massive spike around 200, and then it evens out at around 300k souls per level with an increase of around 10k per levelup.

>>128693121
I don't know how anybody can do this in any Souls game.

>>128693121
5 minutes with collector’s edition :^)

>>128692732
if you kill the blue covenant guy at heides are you able to buy his stuff from the hag merchant? that would be breddy clericy

>>128693121
I have a character with over 400 hours on vanilla, who farmed giant lord for quite a long time, and PvP'd back when you could get millions of souls from hosts and invaders.
SL403.
It takes a really LONG time to get anywhere past SL300.

>>128693724
yes. and i believe this stands for any npc except melentia

>>128688217
been using a CE'd reskinned longsword for around 5-10hrs and no softban yet on SotFS

Simply epic

>>128694107
Greed?

>>128693878
Yea, I have a similar chracter, but I never did PvP on him, SL365.

I at one point planned on farming giant lord to max him but realized how ridiculously long itd take withotu help engine so I gave up

>>128694176
Yes. Every fucking time.

>>128694107
That's what you get for leaving bloodstains on his fancy floor

>>128693878
>It takes a really LONG time to get anywhere past SL300
not that long, a giant lord run lasts 5 minutes and gives enough souls for 1-2 levels with the right equipment

is acid surge any good in 1? i like the added dickery of it

Is it possible to get a second Bone Fist in Frozen Eleum Loyce by using a Bonfire Ascetic?

>>128695079
Yeup, aesthetic the first bonfire

>>128695209
Nice, thanks. I just got it, the moveset is radical. Too bad it doesn't work with Vanquisher's Seal.

>>128695002
No, it's the worst in the series. Does 1 durability damage per tick. 6 durability damage total. 2 casts. 1 scroll per NG.
Its only use is for maybe fucking with people you suspect are using crystal weapons, but how would you ever tell?

>tfw nobody co-oping in my level range at Ivory or Brume

What the shit, what is the recommended SM for these areas? I'm at 1.7M and haven't seen a single sign since I've been here. I just want my fucking Ivory greatsword REEEE

Almost done with DS1, what game should i play next? DS2 or Des? (have no ps4, only pc and ps3)

>>128667162
The only real bullshit claims there is that lightning does go through fatass, when it really shouldn't, and that flying enemies fall to their death. I'll give him those two points.

Everything else is self-inflicted.

>>128696470
Run Recuva on your disk, if it can't find them they are gone.

Why is being a Bellkeeper so much damn fun?
