/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

DS1 = Best Singleplayer experience
DS2 = Best Multiplayer experience
DS3 = memes and fanservice

Demon and Blood can go fuck off and get their own general, they don't belong.

I doesn't have to be real, I'm just trying to make the build better since someone here wanted me to do it. I don't know much about neo nazis so I'm having a hard time making something good. i'm sorry if you're feeling bad today and need to shit on people, but I'd still appreciate suggestions. With the "die cis scum" girl and nice guy I already knew the stereotypes enough to make nice builds, but with this I'm not knowledgeable enough to do so.

All right, definitely not a Gundyr's clone. I wonder what the trade-off is, slightly less base damage and/or scaling?

>>171198506
both are better than demons ruins from both a gameplay and design standpoint though?

>>171198769

It has slightly less base damage than Gundyr's with both at 0 with same scaling for each and .5 units of weight more so it will be heavier and do slightly less damage overall.

>>171198808
I'd take the 8 Taurus Demons over the Kirins in the Outskirts any day

>>171198401
Some bosses are bullshit that I don't feel bad for summoning against (2cat, gank squad). Other bosses I summon only for questlines (Benhart, Lucatiel).

Some zones are bullshit that I don't feel bad for summoning for (all of the optional gauntlets in the DLCs, Alonne's run). They just serve as meat shields and save me some grief anyways.

I mean, it's not on the same tier as summoning in players to stagger-lock Friede or Maria.

>>171198892
>I'd take the 8 Taurus Demons over the Kirins in the Outskirts any day

if you want a piss easy fight sure, but from a design standpoint the taurus demon and dragon butt spam is worse.

People will have a different level of difficulty with that, I never ever went into the depths on my first playthrough, picked Thief because he had a starting gift and thought I'd get a starting gift free, wandered into blighttown before gargoyles and never fought capra.

>if you dont lose your bloodstain all the time, you have plenty souls
Because a new player losing their bloodstain is shameful.

What observation am I supposed to make? How many people even reading a message about an illusory wall will instantly understand what it means?

Speaking of cosplaying as Final Fantasy characters, I was deeply disappointed to find that you can't rightfully make a Steiner cosplay either. I had faint hopes that the Abyss Watchers helmet would fit since it's roughly the same shape, but it doesn't at all, on top of having no plume.

Yeah and then you spend the rest in frustration over how fucking dull and uninspiring the area is. Face it, the frigid outskirts is properly the worst designed area that From has ever created, it could have been something really unique, but ended up being just outright frustration for 99% of the player base

And the Demon Ruins atleast pulls its atmotsphere off, unlike the frigid outskirts

If you're not playing specifically with PvP in mind you don't need an excessive amount of HP for a normal run through the game unless you're going through multiple iterations of NG+, and even then that's questionable.

They should drop it too, but it's not really a bad thing that the weapon is available earlier on instead.

Fire Orb for PvE. Vestiges for PvP. Vestiges is the only real useful one in PvP since you're only ever going to land it by trading. Orb does more overall damage though.

Canvas is best iirc, but sunlight has best hyper armor which is nice for paladins

>>171199357

Is this the deep?

>>171208981
ADP boosts Agility, which adds iframes to your rolls and increases item use speed. Which actually means that without Adaptability your rolls have shitty, shitty iframes and you drink Estus as if it were molasses. You need 30-32 ADP before your rolls and item use speed are anything like the other games.

>>171209002
Longsword time, all the time

I'm torn between starting a new character in DS3 either something heavily invested in sorcery casting, or the same idea but with miracles.

Too deep for me

>>171201671

>>171209263
Sorcery. It's a completely different more passive mindset that you'll need to get into though.

>>171209150
Might be. It's pretty mysterious either way. A random pool.

>>171209187
>>171209081
okay I'll consider it. I'm starting to realize how important rolls are compared to ds1. I barely used to roll in ds1 because I preferred to parry or shield but that barely works in ds2.

>>171209149
Yes. Sorcerer

>>171209107
>>171209143
Oh, whoops. Not sure how I fucked that one up.

Dark Hand for your bite attack, Dorhy's Gnawing for blood magic. Bloodlust Katana is a possibility, unless you're set on using straight swords (even though the design for traditional european swords is meant to resemble a crucifix).

>>171209002
Rapier, club, mace, craftsman hammer, drangleic greatsword

>>171209376
>Yes. Sorcerer
In that case, you don't actually need ADP. 50 ATT and 10 ADP gives you the same amount of Agility that 10 ATT and 30 ADP does.

>>171209376
Ignore those guys you'll need very little, ADP is the main stat for boosting agility, which determines iframes, but since you're going to be pumping ATT that will also increase agility
Aim for about 100 AGI, so maybe like 12-16 ADP would be all you'd need

>>171209601
I'm actually pretty hyped about this sword, on top of the things you posted, even in normal mode it looks very long, maybe even more than gotthard's.

It's interesting to note that Miyazaki brought some weapon ideas back from DS2 but actually made them cool as fuck and useful.
Shields are going to be a fucking turtle meta, aquamarine dagger is an actually useful ivory straight sword with sick combos and lighting arrow is like bow of want done right with infinite hyperarmor out of ass.

Kinda reinforces my opinion that before the development of DS2 he gave the team some of his ideas but without them they half-assed the fuck out of everything.

You posted this last thread, too. They aren't good, it's just Washing Pole + Great Heal.

Now fuck off.

>>171211239
Here is how you faith build and beat quality

1. Equip some heavy armor to get above 22 absorption in all categories. Specifically with the sunlight talisman.
2. Cast tears of denial or a regenerative spell before the fight begins.
3. Use a lightning infused straight sword, the flail or a spear.
4. Play passively and dodge every attack. Attack them if they miss you and cast sunlight spear if they R1 spam you.
5. If they use a spear or washing pole use emit force or dorhys' gnawing and trade with them.
6. If you're in a brawl or gank use lightning storm in the middle of a massive fight to kill everyone.
7. When all else fails run away to use a heal spell.

Voila, easy gold medals in arena.

>>171210843
One handed whip has pretty fun moveset with reach, and on some places you can hit through walls.

Damage is trash and and barely improves though the game, making every enemy a damage sponge for you post catacombs. Worst part is that whip attacks have long windup and they barely stagger anything that has over 0.1 poise.

It's decent fun if you take offensive miracles too, post catacombs killing stuff has been a pain in the arse with the whip.

They should make it so that every time you use ringed knight ss weapon art Gwyn's theme starts playing at the background.

But none of those is THE blessed whip.

On my first playthrough I beat them with a +10 rapier on 3rd try. In NG+1 I beat them with the Greatsword of Artorias on the second try.

Also this >>171199616
I expected a really difficult fight from what I read and heard, turns out it is really easy, the trick is to play unlocked.

what do ringed knights have to do with that parried bitch gwyn?

>>171213141
same swordsmanship style
so they are either his apprentice or Gwyn was trained under whoever trained ringed knights
given the theme of DLC it's probably Pygmy himself

Hey DSG! I'm running through Ds2 again, as I never did a hex build. I started as a sorcerer and already have dark orb from straid, but I was wondering if you guys have any advice for early game hexin', like the earliest darknight stone or best hex catalyst

Fuck off

>>171210380
>tfw wanna use it for trump character

Well looks like I could use it. Only slightly lighter than morne after all.

>>171213719
>ringed city is literally called the city of pygmies
okay anon
take a deep breath

>>171213861
Yeah, but to assume that it was the Furtive Pygmy that trained Gwyn on how to use a sword? That's fucking retarded.

I kinda feel bad for him, I made him giggle and broke his concentration. He was kinda close to winning

Is there any significance to the elite knight corpse you get the ashen estus flask off of or is it just a DS1 callback?

>>171214226
It's Lloyd, who got killed by Velka. The bowl behind him is the Lord Vessel

>>171214226
guess

>>171214226
Call back to Oscar just like Anri is.

Can anybody help me out with Dark Souls? I need somebody to summon for Pinwheel. PC, soul level 120, ng+1.

Is fextralife wiki a good website?
They give quite detailed guides and stuff and actually have an opinion on stuff unlike wikidot

>>171214787
>fextralife
Literal trash.

>>171214226
It's Anri after a night of heavy drinking. Leave her be.

>>171214763

Th' fuck, anon.

>>171214787
I mean it sounds like you've already made your choice, so why bother asking?

>>171214787
their opinions are mostly shit though

Someone redpill me on Ultra Greatswords. Haven't really used them at all in DaS3 and especially not after the poise tweaks. Is stacking poise with them pointless (kinda like Halberds where you need to basically have insane amounts) or worthwhile? Does that mean going 27/40? Should I be looking at anything outside the LKGS, Profaned GS and Black Knight Greatsword? etc.

help pls

>>171215076
I have 33 poise on my lothric knight greatsword build. Poise is pretty useful, but you don't really need that much. Above 15 at least.

>>171214943
does fextra?

>>171214961
I used to go there with a pinch of salt but I go less and less to wikidot so I wanted to ask your opinions.

>>171215040
not at all

Does anyone here play DS3 pirated. I'm using the RVTfix but for some reason I can't get online to work. app 1.09 reg 1.23, am I missing something?

I swear I'll get the fire fades when it comes out

Just dump everything into STR basically.

>>171215076
they're good for slaying noobs but easy to counter by someone who knows how to play

>>171214943
Is this supposed to be desirable content? The site is tailored for the type of person who finds Vaatividya videos to be genuinely insightful.

>>171215779
THanks

>>171215876
I've done pretty much everything else in the game, don't care.

>>171215254
Yeah, looking at the poisecalc now. Guess I'll toy around and see what you can possibly fit into a build.

>>171215984
who's that?

>>171214875
I can't do enough damage to him before he spawns his clones in. I'm actually stuck on Pinwheeel.

>>171214763
I'll help you if you help me with the big bull guy in the Undead Berg. I've been farming for a while now, level 90 and I still can't beat him. He's pretty tough.

invading's actually pretty fun when you use dickwraith tactics

Big whoop man.

>>171216967
I'm not sure what skulls you're talking about. It's the big cow with the axe. He does so much damage.

>>171216828
Wat
Taurus demon? Level 90

>>171216915
>Dickwraith tactics

Go on

what happens if I CE my poise value to 99

>>171186786
Late as fuck, but, artist?

>>171216415
Yeah, I can't even leave messages

>>171217335
Okay, my sign's down in front of the mist wall.

>>171217385
you get banned

Anyone wanna bet me money that ringed city is gonna have a major plot point about gwyn's youth mirroring the pontiff? IE gwyn finds an obscure but powerful flame, and proceeds to fuck over the old gods so he can wrest control. The ringed brand of the undead being the final fuck you curse the old gods placed on gwyn and his ilk.

>>171216868
I first played DS1 when it was dead

When I got to DS3 I was surprised how much jolly cooperation there was

I wonder if DS1 was the same in it's heyday
