Even with all that you could go at something like NG+4 or 5. If you rush the game without picking up any item you can finish it very quickly. With the invisibility spell and the sound proof ring you can end a playthrough real quick, doing only the bosses.

DaS1 is much worse than people remember.

As someone who is new to the souls series, I want to get into it. If I were to get into dark souls 1 and play through 3, by the time I get to 3 will the community still be alive? How is the community in previous souls games?

>No Londor

Just fuck my shit up famalam

>When a city falls into an Abyss, Locusts will then arise.
Wait, was this ever mentioned before ?

>>166387614
Sadly, yeah. Game aged like milk compared to the much improved gameplay in the sequels.

Level design is still the best in the series for the first half though, and only Bloodborne rivals it in atmosphere.

But it feels clunky as shit.

>>166386882

There's flies in AoA that serve the same function.

>the old demon king is the last chaos demon

>>166387637
don't play souls games for the community, it's utter trash.

>>166387637
People still play and occasionally invade in the first two.

Even if you're someone who takes 2 months to complete a single game, 3 will still be alive by the time you get to it. And given that it's the last in the franchise for now, odds are it'll still be brimming with activity for a long time to come. Even Bloodborne, a game from 2015, still has plenty of activity.

>>166387637
ofc. 1 takes like 2-3 weeks to beat if you're a total noob.

so what happened to patches in my game? he asked my where greirat was and I told him he went to the castle, and he was like "lol dat nigga dead" and dissapeared

>>166387898
Me

Anons, I'm running through Scholar of the First Sin for the first time and I'm enjoying it more than before I quit, but I've encountered a problem. I reached NMW and Lost Bastille and intend on tackling NMW first, but my weapon durability is shit. I was using a Scimitar at first, then I picked up a Flame Longsword because I wanted a better weapon. I picked up a Winged Spear and Varangian Sword, but both of those have poor durability too.

What weapon should I try to get/use? I would use the Uchigatana because I really liked it in DS1 but I have no idea where it is or how it is. Sorry and thank you in advance

>>166387696
Never, new lore to re-use more BB assets.

Let's make the soul series an MMORPG just like Warcraft did after Warcraft 3. It would be nice.

>>166387868
Holy fuck kys senpai

>>166387762
yes you can kill him. A bit out from the foggate there's a rock you can hide behind. If you stand there, the ballista will kill the worm but it will take about a minute

You can also try to fight it straight up but that's not too easy

It's either the painter little girl or something we have to fight.

>>166387939
At least Vendrick succeeded in his task and he also ran like a bitch.

>>166387942
If you let him know of greirat's fate and he disappears you need to kill a boss and he will come back.

>>166387696

>>166387959
there's a blacksmith in the Bastille that sells the Uchigatana iirc. Weapon durability is shit in ds2 in general, aside from certain weapons. Unless you carry loads of repair powder around, you'll have to pick up a backup weapon

>>166388349
It's the same mechanic as with Greirat. If you send him to pillage you need to kill a boss to progress his story.

>>166388145
The Abyss was never the Deep, but both are aspects of Humanity

Abyss = wild/mutated Humanity
Deep = human dregs, core of humanity

I was thinking around SL80 at NG+ with a Dex/Hollow build with Darkdrift and the Morion Blade for lore reasons

No, it's not original, but if you're gonna do this then acknowledge that Angel's Egg didn't invent any of this shit either.

Use the nukes like CSS for bosses.

Learn to use Farron Flashsword for mobs, its one of the only unique spells in the game.

Crystal Sage's Rapier, Immolation Tinder and MLGS are all very viable weapons for a mage.

Learn to love Homing Soulmass in PVP, its one of the few spells with which you can hit people reliably with.

>everlasting dragons presided over the grey crags and archtrees
>they were slain by the lords who gained power from the flame
>boom and then bust until someone strong enough jumped into the flame, repeat indefinitely
this is simple, but:
>iron golem was made with the bone of a dragon
>giants are golems made from dragon parts/souls
>Description of giant soul ponders: "Will the Giants' resentment for the King be pacified in death, or only emboldened?"
>king is referring to both Gwyn and Vendrick for their respective tresspasses
>their resentment has been emboldened for each death of their iterations
so now we see that there's been an overarching battle not between light and dark, but between disparity and similarity:
>ds1 shows that in the aftermath of the dragon slaughter the grey crags have been drowned in a sea
>this is what DS3 has been referring to as the deep
>the deep is a collection of human dregs
>humanity is human dregs ignited by disparity, pockets of it known as the abyss
>Aldritch knows that this sea has been rising with each repetition of the cycle, i.e. "the coming age of the deep sea"
>Sulyvahn, an arch-tree like golem himself, actively worked to slay a god this iteration
>spared its dragon halfbreed sister
>hollows have begun to erupt into serpents, imperfect dragons
>the flame is so weak that even when linked it cannot muster the eruption it did in DS1
>the flame will be doused by the waters of the deep
And when those waters recede to mere fog, what will be left is grey crags, archtrees, and EVERLASTING dragons.
Dragons were outside the cycle from the very beginning. Beyond the scope of light. Beyond the reach of dark.
Calling it: DLC final boss is an everlasting dragon.

The worst thing about DaS2 and DaS3 is that they're sequels to DaS. This limits Fromsoft artistically and in game mechanics. Any changes From might make in the sequels will also disappoint the fans of the previous games. I feel like From is going off track with every new DLC. It doesn't feel like Dark Souls at all. I'll still play this, but I can't not think what would be if DaS3 wasn't a sequel.

I haven't played DS3 since I finished my first playthrough and I never got the first DLC so I'm kinda out of the loop.

Has there been ANY new lore found about the Primordial Serpent(s)? If not, what are the chances that this last DLC will give us info about them? That's literally the only thing I still care about in this series.

So who is egg-girl? I reviewed a few times to double check that she is breathing still. Looks too dark and insufficiently endowed for Gwynevere. Her blindness is interesting.

Maybe its the snake girl from statue at end of DLC1?

Assuming those figures are Friede and the final sister, that doesn't actually prove anything. Yuria was out and about in the real world doing Kaathe's bid'ness while Friede sat about in a decaying painting with a mural about how the snakes are baddies. It's the in-game equivalent of the jew caricature rubbing his hands together.

2 bosses is not enough if you're going to make one of them mediocre

Wait, I dont understand, was Smelter actually confirmed?

>>166394901
Yes, I believe that too. The world is constantly giving us hints that the "age of deep" was near. The world was rotting, being constantly hurt by the linking of the fire. Eventually it would become "unformed, shrouded by fog" because the lords are utter dickheads.

This one is better.

We pretty much have Giant Bat and Sleeping Girl/Egg guaranteed as bosses. Don't know is the Giant Locust or the Effigy Knight with the curved sword are bosses or just elite mobs.

Yay 3 bosses! Nah joking aside I have my hopes up because we found Gwynevere's new theme way before the first dlc. Which probably means they either cut a chunk of the base game out for dlc, Or they've been working on this dlc a lot longer than they worked on AoA.

Yes my man we're actually memeing but smelter coming back would really make normies angry

>>166395520
Well, linking fire is pretty good alternative for the world turning into abyss shithole where you can't even die
Deep is something more or less new to the setting

>Damn it, hopefully we'll still get some closure on what his Jewish plan really was
Londor is carrying out his wishes to the letter

You really think Hidetaka "Nothing's concluded, because the world is convoluted" Miyazaki will allow that?

>>166395459

Fuck off you Vaatiretard.

I didn't care for the pop song trailers much. I like the "we're going to murder the fuck out of you" theme, but the music... eh.

He allowed Moon Presence, he allowed Soul of Cinder, so he will certainly allow Dark Soul
