>>168992763
Feeding Gwyndolin to Aldritch was pretty shitty. I liked Gwyndolin and it's probably pontiff's fault we don't have a blue-eye orb.

>it's probably pontiff's fault we don't have a blue-eye orb

That thought never even occurred to me before.

Suddenly I have the urge to make a co-op character for the express purpose of shitting on Irithyll & Sulyvahn.

>>168992992
I wish scythes had unique neck crits and whips had strangles.

>>168992992
I wish each weapon class in general had unique backstabs. You know, like they did in DaS2.

>>168993037
Hey Nito, what do you think about Wolnir?

>>168992763
Pontiff "if it's a trap, turn it to crap" Sulyvahn

Imagine a Dark Souls game where they just got everything right

>>168993114
I just wish whips had fucking anything.

>>168993180
Wolnir isn't nearly spooky enough to match Nito. A true spooky skeleton has no fear of the dark

>>168992763
Why the fuck do all of you autistic cunts like Sulyvahn so much? Hes one of the worst fucking villains in the game, who only gets praised because he is "le ebin hard boss XD" when he in fact isn't that hard at all.

Theres nothing compelling about him, other than his boss design and mechanics.

>raised in the painted world
>goes into the real world
>Le profaned flame corrupts him
>lets take over Anor Londo guys xD
>He fed Gwyndolin to Aldrich xDDD
Theres no fucking motivation, other than the porfaned flame corrupted his heart. We never got a motive - so he just wanted power, for powers sake?

Even fucking Nashandra had more personality than this fuck - atleast we knew what her endgame was, instead of "le evil for being evils sake"

>>168993410
That'd be pretty cool but I'd even settle for a regular parry in the left hand.

maybe he's not so much fighting you as trying to escape the abyss?

Fuck no, Gwyndolin was a faggot too. I just dont see the Pontiffs appeal, sure he fucked shit up a lot but theres never any motivation for it. If From actually revealed some kind of end game for his plan, I would like him a lot more.

HERETIC

>>168993673
Wasn't Pontiff one of the scholars? That's pretty significant. He also convinced prince Lothric to not link the flame.

>if it sweetspots (the last third or fourth of the whip) it yanks away their right hand weapon and puts it on the ground behind you (only he can pick it up
>can parry chugs

>>168993412
He is responsible for this shitstorm, he taught lothric "yah but linking the flame is not good why don't you fuck with you big muscled brother instead?", enslaved a whole city and made its citizens jailers of their own kind, take over Irithyll after being a Blade of the Darkmoon, imprison the last remainings of the Gods, allies with a big slug and wait for the age of the deep sea, and all of these because he was born in a world were he has no place, ironic because that world was meant to be a world to things with no place, he ledt looking for his own world, but then understood that while inside the painting the "Rot-Fire" Cycle is always done, outside the Linking of the flame is a slow cancer that kills this world.

I dont know what I expected while making this

>>168993850
>>168993910
Ive read up on a lot of lore, and havent really come across this theory before

Where is it implied that he was the Scholar who taught Lothric?? I though the Schorlar was one of those dead people you get the mircales from in the grand archive, that actually tells you the story in its item desribtion

>>168994184
Cause it's an infested barbarian cosplay, it's not about being the most balanced or overpowered or anything, I'm just trying to have fun and make things like they should be. I also chose bad classes for my stereotypes cause they fit the character.

>>168994170
I guess that can work.

Do you fags host fight clubs or enter the arena?

>>168994202
There is a statue in the High Wall iirc that resembles Sullyvahn with his Greatsword of Judgement. Also it says the Scholar was a Sorcerer, and was against the Linking of the First Flame, judging the actions of Sullyvahn it seems like he is against it too.

>>168993850
This is still unconfirmed speculation. There are no references to Sulyvahn having any ties to the Grand Archives whatsoever, let alone being its leader. Considering the state that the Grand Archives is in you would expect there to be more links between him and Seath for that.

>>168993910
So, he feeds a sick and dying God to a giant blob monster, takes over an abandoned city, and his and his pet slug's big plan for changing the world is based on an inconsequential little metaphysical quirk of the setting that is by its very design rendered completely irrelevant and overshadowed by the designs of Kaathe.

Ultimately, boss battle aside, he hasn't achieved much more than freaking Pinwheel did. Even Ludleth has accomplished more impressive feats.

Sulyvahn is lorewise little more than an overreaching miniboss.

>>168993412
I think sully is a fag but you sound like a buttblasted dickmoon fag

>>168994418
mostly fc, I'll host one later to test the euro hours

>>168994480
I think the most I've seen to suggest Sulyvahn being a former scholar is the similarity to his garb and that of the scholars roaming the grand archives.

3.- What clothes would fit the character better?

You don't need to see Friede at all for the second phase. Unless you approach her, all she does is blow ice ian your direction. If you see the floor coating with frost, run.

For third phase, literally just run away a lot and roll away from everything until she repeats the first attack she does when the third phase begins, at which point you can just run in and get a couple swings done, then rinse and repeat.

That's the easiest way, although there are other, more effective methods.

What's a cool build to go for? Any neat weapons/spells that I can get really early in this edition?

>>169002056
Yeah... I equipped a 100% shield and a longsword and literally R1'd my way halfway through phase 2. I imagine if I used Carthus Rouge the fight would become a complete joke.

Wow, you're overleveled for her and you're still having trouble?

Get black knight shield, block her until she jumps off to go invisibru, then backstab her, rinse and repeat until phase 2.

phase 2 kite King Cheetobowl into a wall and hit him repeatedly to start phase 3.

Phase 3, kill Friede normally chugging all the estus you saved by not getting hit in phase 1 or 2.

win.

>>169004081
It's very effective actually.

>>169004127
Friede pierces shields though, pretty bad idea against her

s-sorry, how embarrassing

>>169003068
>If you're not like 80 by the time you reach her I've got to ask what you've been doing with your souls tbqh.
I reached SL72 getting through the base game, spending souls on spells and armor (going for all of the spell Trophies).

I had 90K and lost it to the Corvian Knights, then amassed another 140K on the way to Friede.

It costs me 30K per level, so even if I hadn't lost the 90 and spent the 140, I'd be unlikely even to break SL80.

But yeah, I can only guess how many levels I lost buying Pyros, Miracles, Sorceries, and armor.

>>169003068
>If you're not like 80 by the time you reach her I've got to ask what you've been doing with your souls tbqh.

Let's go with your logic. If you're SL80 when you're at the first bonfire of the Cathedral of the Deep in NG, then what the FUCK have you been doing, farming Vordt?

Friede isn't a boss that becomes harder at lower SL, if you die at 50, it's because you fucked up, not because of your soul level. But at fucking 70 or over at NG, if you can't get trough phase 1 and especially phase 2 without taking damage, you're shit. Phase 3, fine, if you're terrible at reading her animation, sure, but then you have all those heals that should get you trough that without problems.

>>169004303

>>169004246
>>169004424

It's not a bad idea for the first phase, If you have to chug even one estus at first phase, you're doing something wrong. The idea is to outlast her until you can shove your weapon up her ass.

Dodging works fine too, but seeing how the guy had problems, I recommended using a shield.

>>169004317
>he thinks you're supposed to go through AoA the moment you meet Gael

>>169004985
kek no problem

>>169004791
Yet her gapclosers are terrible, and she telegraphs every single attack she does waaay too long.

You can build distance to her really easilly and punish her immediately after she's vulnerable.

And if you don't want to do that, just move away and wait for her to jump away and backstab her.

Also Champion Gundyr punishes ROLLING AWAY, if you roll INTO HIM, you're dandy. Friede is the exact opposite of that.

>>169004317
>>message at the start of the dlc telling you to come back once you beat the princes

I'm saying that the game itself tells you to fuck off and return once you've cleared Lothric Castle, and by then you'll probably be about 80, maybe higher if you did Untended Graves and Archdragon Peak. Just because you can access Friede early that's clearly not the intended path and was probably put in place for the sake of NG+ runs, same with Dancer.

>tfw no sci-fi souls

id love to see how evolved Bloodborne combat could get if From Software worked at making firearms the primary damage in a game, but giving melee weapons an extreme risk:reward niche.

The Funsword is also one of my favorite weapons in the game.

It is pretty underpowered, though. At least when you consider how fucking broken straight swords are.

>>169005220
Is there any good fashion that goes with his chestpiece? It's fine as hell.

>>169004963
There's a fire longsword within the first few minutes of the game, fire and dark both scale on a combination of faith and intelligence in DS2 so if you go for any magic you'll be able to use that fire longsword well. Pyros and hexers usually go to 30/30, and whatever you pick you should infuse a weapon with that element and then buff it with that element too. You can't do both on everything anymore unfortunately, back in the day you could infuse the MLGS with magic and cast CMW on it and powerstance it with a raw BMGS and shit on everything.

There's also a magic mace available early and the chaos rapier, which is a fire dex weapon, can be bought from an early hex tutor.

I did a whole playtrough with Funsword, I fully admit it is terrible in terms of... Pretty much everything, except fun weaponart.

Also it actually trivialized Friede for me, The weaponart can be used to jump over one of her first phase combo, if you roll away from her when you get behind her, it leaves her all confused and makes her hop away.

That longsword is shit since it's literally just a regular longsword that's pre-infused. You can literally make your own, or something better, once you beat Pursuer.

The only reason it was good in base DaS2 was because the Dull Ember was in Iron Keep.

it does a lot more damage than a 500 AR weapon though

I can't wait to use the fun and cool faith weapons and miracles that are surely littered throughout The Ringed City DLC. Yep, it will be so nice when that happens and I experience it. I will especially enjoy using Lloyds Sword of Law after I defeat him in his well designed climactic boss fight and transpose his soul, it will be a very fun and useful weapon.

It isn't? It's next to pyro being the more fun casting class. Intelligence, now that's the boring one of the three.

It's a backhanded insult at Plagiarizing Nintendo Fanboy and his legion of Patreon supporters, for sponsoring and spreading the bullshit theory that Ariandel and Friede were Lloyd and Velka.

sorcerers got a few new interesting (and viable) spells in DaS3. Faith meanwhile, got the same old shit, with some of the new stuff (and some of the old stuff) just being totally unviable

'member when WoG was instant in DaS?

I 'member.

Who was the young girl?

They eventually took down those pictures and replaced them with a Bamco-approved one.

pvp is what keeps the game going long after release anon. don't be an autist.

using faith in PvE is nice, but you want it to work in PvP too. literally anything can work in PvE since enemies rarely dodge

She mercy-killed her mother.

pvp =/= duels, retard

>>169007151
remember when wog did far less damage than ds3? I do. Also, sunlight spears straight up miss enemies in pve if they get too close and emit force is so slow. Faith is much more fun in 3, I can easily say that.

Karla. She killed herself, but because she can't actually die, she just phased back and got captured anyway.

I suppose I should just drop the heavy armor, but I really wanted to a heavy weight build

I wonder how people wearing full Havel's armor + Havel's shield can still fast roll at SL120

Valorheart is the best weapon in the game!

Sure you can, just try using it against another player

>>169007356
>She mercy-killed her mother.

Are you literally autistic? You don't understand common phrases? "Taking one's own life" means suicide, not mercy killing.

They'e probably overleveled and are using password matchmaking.

You need at least 86 vitality to not fat roll while equipped with full Havel's, Dragon Tooth, Greatshield, Havel's Ring + 2, and Ring of Favor +2.

>Eerie, almost unnoticeable faces peer up at you as you cross tar pits – itself an unsettling image, until you make the mistake of getting close to one of them, as they suddenly emerge from the bog as insect-like monstrosities, that are very dangerous in packs once they surround you. Creepier still, allowing one of them to grab you is a fatal mistake, as they hold your character in a death grip as they sip their life essence, moaning “I WILL PARTAKE”.
Spooky.

Can someone explain to me how I get more Dark Sigils? Do I just have to die on purpose??
