>>171753049
Morne's:
Morne's is str/fth and needs a good amount of both. Strength is more important than faith, but since you get a 2H bonus you only technically need 37/30 for stats in order to use it. Its weight and stamina costs are comparable to smough's and its AR is only pretty good so there's not much point to it unless you intend to abuse the WA primarily. The WA costs 50FP so you want a bit of attunement and the Farron Ring to afford as many casts per blue swig as possible. Remember that you can still effectively cast the WA if you only have 25FP remaining.

Swordspear:
40dex/18fth. The faith is just a requirement and has basically irrelevant scaling. It's pretty much a pure dex weapon, though the strength scaling isn't terrible so you can pump that if you have spare points. Be sure to buff via the WA when you find a safe moment to because it only does good damage while buffed.

do sentinels or dorks have higher chance of being summoned? SL49 and +6 wep here got 5 ears past 2 hours as sentinel, just got dorkmoon

>>171753425
It varies (eg. the Greatsword and Greatlance get abnormally good luck scaling) but for the most part it's like equivalent to a D.
A hollow weapon typically still scales better with str or dex than luck, so hollow in most cases is just an option to add a 3rd scaling stat for overleveled quality builds that just have too many points to spare.

>>171756571
There is one, sentinels are a darker blue.

>>171755335
Two-handed attacks naturally do a little more damage, even without scaling factored.
Larger weapons, like greatswords and UGS and whatnot, get a slightly bigger bonus for 2H

Also in some rare cases, a weapon's main damage type or hitbox sweetspot changes between 1H and 2H, so that can affect damage as well.

>>171756653
Yes, but you have to kill a certain enemy to get it.

Who are gods in Dark Souls universe?

Build for Storm Curved Sword?

All in DEX and the rest in VIT, END and VIG?

>>171757428
They're just the deity-like beings of the Souls universe. Obviously they're not all part of Gwyn's family, since you have Flame God Flann, whom Gwynevere married and fled Anor Londo with, and then all the various other gods in DaS2 like Nahr Alma, Caitha, etc.

I'm not really of the opinion that they're all the same species. Maybe the ones that declare themselves as gods just took their strength from the First Flame (not necessarily Lord Souls, mind), whereas regular humans did not, except for the Furtive Pygmy. For instance, you also have Quelana, who's worshipped as a deity by the Great Swamp in DaS3 but who you obviously meet as a fairly regular being in DaS1. All she really had was the knowledge and experience of having lived thousands of years from the beginnings of the First Flame, and what the Witch of Izalith granted her and her sisters.

In the end, it's really just that power that distinguishes them from regular humans, who can also obtain the strength to kill them (albeit it being much more difficult for humans). After all, the Chosen Undead was able to kill Gwyn, the Ashen One kills Nameless King, and Bearer of the Curse kills deity-like beings like Vendrick (who, presumably, was also just a regular human in the beginning before becoming the king of Drangleic).

The fanservice boss can be one of two options, their phase 1 abilities will be exactly the same, only their phase 2 will be different. YOU get to choose which is in the final game, and your choices are:

>Artorias of the Deep, fights with his sword and shield. Drops his shield, and summons a wolf of the deep to fight with him in phase 2.

OR

>Father Lloyd, the Legend. Fights with the sword and shield of law and caste, and wears full giant's set; His helmet depicts the mask of the father. Grows a double set of angel wings, then abandons his weapons and switches to a Zweihander in phase 2.

Which one do you choose?

This guy gives a pretty decent explanation. "Gods" are basically just people, but they have strength and wisdom that allows them to differentiate themselves. Yes, this includes gwyn. By all means the chosen undead is a lord by the end of DAS1 regardless of the ending you chose.

>>171759267
you can only really make but builds work if you mostly rely on crossbows, since you can outspace anything and still deal decent damage. if people with smaller weapons try to force trades use explosive bolts. without a crossbow you'll never win trades so anyone who realizes what your build is just has to sit in your face and spam r1 with a similar weapon class to win.

The ones in those caves in Huntsman's Copse will always be revived unless you kill the Balck Sorcerer nearby. I think that's the only place where they're revived.

There are a few necromancers that will maintain some skelly protectors in the caves in Huntsman's Copse. There are some in the Chariot fight but since the Chariot takes care of the skeletons you don't really notice them as much.

>>171759770

The worms drops a miracle "used by ancient dragonslayers", therefore he's Solaire. I know, right ?

>>171759535
10 str and dex requirement, and you get it early in the game. Before the DLC I always used infused longsword with my pyromancer. Really nice damage and I had enough stats to go 45 int 45 faith.

>>171758559
>Artorias of the Deep, fights with his sword and shield. Drops his shield, and summons a wolf of the deep to fight with him in phase 2.

So you want to combine a fast aggressive boss with a fast aggressive beast? Genius.

The only reason O+S worked was because they moved at completely different speeds, with a bit of awareness you were only ever fighting one. Gank bosses are consistently shit in Souls games.

>>171759819
definitely good, 40 end will be more useful to you than that vit, though. cathedral knight doesn't even go with storm curved so you don't need it for fashion.

I was pretty hyped. The ost to Aldrich is glorious, probably the heaviest thing in the entire soundtrack, and those choirs from Gwyndolin...
Unfortunately Aldrich is pretty easy. His melee attacks barely ever hit, and are very slow. Good thing they added those lingering purple magics and the arrow attack to keep the pressure on the player at least.

>>171760590
The arrow attack gets a lot of shit but its one of the coolest looking attacks in the series.

>>171760590
>The ost to Aldrich is glorious, probably the heaviest thing in the entire soundtrack, and those choirs from Gwyndolin...
100% agree. the theme gives me chills.

>>171760065
I just really love the Cathedral Knight set and with the curved sword the mesh in the arms doesnt go insane

>>171760454
God that's smooth. My PC doesn't even have the minimal requirements so it lags a lot even in single player. Multi used to be even worse at Pontiff's, but fortunately the new arena makes it go a bit better, since there are only two players and a small area.

Artorias summons Abyss Watchers, followed by the Greatwolf from the Farron swamp. When he's close to death a hand with teeth comes out from under him and pulls him into the Dark, and from it emerges Manus, you must find the pendant in the arena to calm his raging Humanity and he reverts to The Furtive Pygmy and sends you to the Age of Ancients to watch Gwyn and co. find the Souls of Lords, and kill Gwyn, the Witch off Izalith and Nito all at once. Then Seathe appears and you kill him, too. Three Archdragons then show up pleased that you killed all of the problematic ones, but you being who you are attack them, too, using the lightning power you got from all the Lord's Souls, then The Furtive Pygmy dons an assassin getup and is revealed to be Ciaran, who you then must fight, but Jesus steps in and says "Miyazaki did nothing wrong" and then John was a zombie. The end.

>>171761054
I'll try this, thanks. What about weapons?

>>171760149
I was really disappointed that they wasted the Aldrich concept on Gwyndolin. But then I was also pretty ready for disappointment because the moment I stepped foot in Anor Londo I knew something tasteless and uninteresting was coming. When I saw that the boss fog was O&S room, I was pretty much certain whatever I'd find on the other side would be a shameless copout.

Throwbacks and fanservice can be done well, but not by Fromsoft. Any time they make a really big reference to something like that, it'll inevitably used as an excuse to substitute substance. And here as well, instead of a proper shapeshifting sludgeboss we just get Gwyndolin riding a slug with Gwyndolin's theme remixed and Gwyndolin's spells redone in a prettier engine. Oh boy, another caster boss with only like three spells that very slowly teleports away when you get in melee, how fun.

Horror, something about being taken over and used by another entity really skeevs me out with how trapmaster is still grunting and moaning when you strike them makes it seem that gwyndolin isnt dead just being used and slowly digested at the same time which checks alot of my boxes for shit that gets to me.

that being said the boss itself is a free win once you get over the size of the boss and just hug the slug so kinda underwhelming mechanically.
>>171761739
i told you m8, the best you can do is just dont roll at all because rolling will only ever fuck you, greatsheild it the fuck up and pray

>>171761682
How you fuck off and stop trying to fit in you fucking newfag, that meme is vintage you child

>>171761739
Fat rolling is a pain in the ass to start since you have no equipment that makes fat rolling worth it unless you decide to early power farm lothric set and greatshield.

>>171761303
I see your weapon doesn't look like a big blue popsicle there. Are you forced to wear the untrue dark ring for the effect, or does the whole "no covenant = human colors" thing automatically apply the untrue dark ring effect? I wanted to use Pale Pine to match my fashion but I wasn't sure if it'd make my weapon look like shit in the arena.

>>171762016
Most of your 2H attacks are unparriable, besides the rolling and running R1s. Rolling R2s are unparriable since it's just the second attack in your R2 -> R2 chain.

I feel like this build can do some damage with the Lightning blade + Sacred Oath

I wish that in DLC2 there would be a ring that would make you and every other player in huge radius around you to fatroll.

>>171762785
Xbone players get it earlier, really? When?

Anyone got advice on dancers 2nd phase? I've beaten her a couple of times but I always git thrown around at the second phase.

Is it better to just keep distance and wait or is there a way to dodge her twirly shit (not the spin move just attacks where she's contorting in wierd angles to strike you).

>>171762857

>Tranquil Ring of Peace

That'd be interesting and probably OP as fuck.

>>171762875
Last time there was some fuckup, that allowed Xbox players who got the season pass to download the entire Ariandel DLC data with the Friday patch.

>>171762785
Xbox can't preorder the DLC this time, so they won't be getting it early.

>>171762896
2nd phase is pretty simmilar to the first one i'd say. Just get some distance on that first spinning combo and then keep close to her trying to circle around her.

Did they make that bloodborne looking nigger stronger or something, hes more annoying than ever

Its raw

>>171763070
Yes, but there's still people who already got the season pass, which grants them access to both DLCs.

>>171763339
Why 25 attunement? You get a slot every 6 points, so you get one at 24, and the next at 30. Also is 20 endurence enough?

>>171756641
YEEEEOOWWWWWW

Okay I got no idea where to go after doing the memory stuff. fugg this game.

>>171763623
When you go down the ladder from the bonfire where the old hag was, go across the little stone bridge and open the King's gate there. There's another memory behind that one

>>171763515
Yeah, 24 is enough, didn't think of that

About the endurance i dont know, I suppose not but i dont know what to lower apart from VIG, I really wanna use Cathedral Knight set so I dont wanna reduce the VIT

>>171762923
That'd make a neat miracle
Like TWoP except the 'aura' around you just projects a huge ring, and the slow-walk/fatroll debuff is only applied to things that cross through the ring and only lasts a few seconds (refreshing if they touch it again, of course). If someone is inside the ring and stays in it, the debuff will wear off and they can move normally until they try to leave the ring. Make the radius massive and you'd have an interesting area denial spell

>>171763716
that's the first one i did
I did the only other two i could find too

>>171763789
Kind of like that spell the stone knights in DaS 1 used.

>>171763339
dont need 25 attunment. 24 is all you need. unless you want 30 for the next spell slot. vitality had 3-4 extra points. check this, I tuned it up a little for you, what do you think about this?
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/155181

>>171763790
There are only 3 giants' memories so you did them all. Now you can go through the King's Gate at the first Drangleic Castle bonfire. But make sure to kill Vendrick first, in the crypt, assuming you have at least 4 giant souls

Remember the big dead dragon after the spider boss? You can enter his memories too.

>>171764068

>>171766479
Bamco keeps saying they went out of their way to spoil less in their promos this time because so many fans complained.

Apparently there were people outright boycotting pre-release info to stay clean. That's bad for Bamco, of course, since diehard fans are a huge source of word-of-mouth and viral advertisement. If autists are ignoring their trailers instead of sharing them on social media then it hurts their market penetration.

Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey Firelink from the past. You can tell its the past because Grandma Merchant has unique dialogue recognising you if you talk to her in untended graves before you talk to her in firelink

I used to think it was just an alternate version of the world where the flame went out, but someone found that if you talk to the hag in the shrine from untended graves before the one in the firelink shrine, the latter remembers you. So it must be the past, time when Gundyr arose too late to link the flame.
