First for Crucifix.
First for twin greatsword anime overload
Post yfw you realized "those fools on the outside" were actually the fanbase who wanted to keep a dead franchise alive
Which part of the games do you get bored of when replaying &assuming standard route&
Demon's Souls
Tower of Latria
Dark Souls
After Bellfry Gargyoles
Dark Souls II
Lost Bastille
Dark Souls III

Can anybody recommend me a Mad King Crucifix build?
I'm not sure how I should be building around this thing.
>>172628172
I get really fucking bored in undead settlement
It's one of the best locations in game, but the fact you gotta gather Yoel for the darkhand and early dancer kill, start Siegward's quest for the slab, and grab Irina if you plan to use miracles makes it a real chore to clear
>>172627996
You can't get out of sight if you're going to pass through them, unless you're going to use ranged weapons to deal with them, which is for pussies.
I honestly don't know, I replayed DS2 more than I replayed DS1, but archers are still the most bullshit thing that comes to mind when I think about it, with infinite poise + infinite stamina mobs at dragon aerie from DS2 being second. May be my opinion is biased because I didn't really have experience in souls games before DS1.
Souls game that takes place in modern times
who /crucifix/ here?

That true? I literally didn't notice

Get good friend, they are not even that hard to fight. You can HA through their attacks easily. I used onimeme to trade with them which completely rekts them everytime they try to poke.
>>172628515
I know but what the fuck would you even do for a modern Souls game?
Guns?
If it doesn't work like Bloodborne it'd probably be shit.
>>172628580

But the katana is really good why would you need anything else. Its my new weaponfu.

Only the buildings. The old chapel where Frampt appears, the well and such. You can safely assume they just fell there and the location has no significance
>>172628586
I know, they're not really hard for me at this point, it's just honestly fucking annoying seeing them wind up a poke 90% of the time you hit R1. I'd be lying if I said they didn't frustrate me with the stupid sideways shield slap either

I've played probably about the same amount of each game at this point, although SotFS throws me off sometimes. For the ledge archers you literally just run to the one on the right and the one on the left can't see you.

That dude is goddamn lethal. Fairly sure I got 1 shot by him one time when I was on my NG+ file.
>>172628571
The hand scythe is actually pretty good though. If you make it heavy it gets A scaling. Bring lightning stake, lightning arrow, and dark blade, and you can quickstep jew people all day. Two or three combos will end a duel.
>>172628386
the worst thing is the huge staircase filled with enemies in dragon aerie in any souls game
>>172628571
Fuck you at least dex got new shit, Hex just got a copied dark harpe, a better version of a spell we already have, and a shitty staff.

Also can anyone tell me how much Poise I need to HA through UGS R1 spam with Ringed Straight Sword, I swear I L2 R1'd through a Astora GS R1 Spam with my own but for some reason, I can't do it again, hell I can't even out hyper armor normal GS with 34 Poise. Does Astora not do poise damage or something?

Maybe I'll give it another go. Can you get all the sets and items as pick ups now? Or is there still farming for the titty witch stuff? I genuinely killed all the titty witches into extinction like 6 times and ended up with multiples of everything but the chest piece and that was the last straw for me really.

The fatigue is real. I liked the DLC but the formula has gotten stale, especially for the people who started playing around DeS/DaS release.
>>172629165
All I know is that there's a shitload of them and they all do ridiculous damage and they aggro in groups and they all have like 2-3k hp.

>>172628987
The staff is for pure sorcery builds using the dark sorceries, it's not even good for hexing.
The new Hex spell is okay though, replaced my Great Deep Soul on my attunement slots.
>>172629101
>>172629128
From what I've seen most, if not all, of the farming non-respawning red phantoms at bosses is gone. Like the invisible set isgiven to you by the armor guy.Rerciless Moenna's mask can be picked up elsewhere.
Is there even a reason to use a weapon besides the red iron twinblade for pvm ever in DS2?

>>172628691
The reddit thread is cancerous though. If you say "there's literally nothing that suggests the npc is the furtive pygmy in any way shape or form" the response is "YEAH BUT THE PYGMY WAS MEANT TO BE FORGETTABLE SO IT FITS!!!!"
You can't prove he ISNT the pygmy, so he must be. Even though it doesn't make much sense and more importantly would literally not matter even a little bit.

Yes the best Greatbow in the game + the Quakestone Hammer were dex based.
The only dex weapons in AoA were the Crow Quills, the Crow Talons and Friede's Great Scythe which is more Dex/Int. Everything else was quality.

>>172629689
>implying Lautrec did not rape the Firekeeper's corpse
>>172629558
Seems like you still have to farm that, but they increased the drop-rate. I've never really cared about any armor except for the Dingy Robes which are a guaranteed drop in NG+ so I don't know all of the changes.
When you wake up Fillianore or whatever her name was do you teleport to the future , when the world has ended or does the illusion of the Ringed City being intact break and you see reality ?
Also, I heard somewhere that at the time of the fight with Gael, only you and himself are alive in the world. Is this accurate ?

Friede not linking the Flame = Gwyn, Chosen Undead, Bearer of the Curse, Ashen One linking the flame.
their world can't renew because she chose to prolong it just like you do if you link the flame in the outside world.
mfw nothing absolutely 0 fucking nichts gets explained about the only new ending which is the usurpation of fire.
can't know fucking nothing about it's consequences or why it's even possible now.

He might have escaped the containment of TRC, and used his powers to lead another kingdom.
He could have been exiled when it was found out.

Pick one, buddy
My current mage im building up is a spellsword, that uses all the sword spells in the game. Not finished yet, but its looking like fun
>>172630590
>>172630619
Based Ludleth.
>>172630619
>>172630669
This is what I thought as well. Since he's called Ludleth the Exiled, I assumes he was exiled by the other Pygmy Lords for wanting to link the fire (basically doing the will of the gods, which the Pygmies despise).
Anyone care to explain to me what makes Midir a good bossfight, aside from his theme?
All I see is a massive damage sponge unlike any other boss, the only difficulty lying in knowing where he is at any given time. Because even despite his massive size, should you lock on to him, you will inevitably lose all orientation once he flails around like the resident autist dragon of ash lake. And since the arena is so wide, you are constantly trying to catch up to him again, once he finishes his flailing or you just wasted an estus charge replenishing the health you lost from his extremely widesweeping flamebreath. And once you caught up, you will be lucky if you can chip away once at his health, before he goes for another outburst of flailing, during which your camera becomes either completely fucked and you lose half of your health upon contact with Midirs body.
Rinse and repeat.
This battle is just a war of attrition against RNG. From my experience, anyway.
Since when they added the red plume on the helm?
>crucifix of the mad king is a str/fth hybrid weapon with scaling, buffable dark damage, a fantastic moveset, and a fun weapon art
>murky handscythe is fast, annoying, and stronger than it has any right to be
>murky longstaff has a tiny handscythe strapped to the end and does more melee damage than the actual handscythe
>great soul dregs is deep soul with crystal soul spear damage
>blindfold mask is a dark version of crown of dusk
I'm relatively happy I made a dark build for this DLC. By the way, Murky Longstaff still softcaps at 45int (and 45fth) for dark spells and does less damage with them at 60int/7fth than Court Sorcerer Staff does. Murky's "niche" is that it has higher damage on its melee attack than other staves do, it's pretty much the DaS3 version of DaS1's Demon Catalyst.
>>172630858
He might have been thrown out of Courland when they realized who he was
>>172630858
Principle of conservation of detail. A sparse story implies a significance behind implication, and Ludleth is rather heavily implied to be a Pygmy Lord through visuals.
>>172630660
nope.
they've got cancer because Friede fucked up the kindling.
the outside world has hollowing because faggots like Gwyn keep rekindling the first flame.
the painted world needs fire to renew.
the outside world needs darkness to renew.

Yes, and yes. The only downside is having negative dark absorption, which can be a problem against other pyromancers.
so gentlemen now that we've played through all the series and we can finally say goodbye to this jap cancer i've got 2 simple questions:
what causes the hollowing curse?
what is its purpose?
>>172630858
His throne is the same design as the circle of pygmy thrones in the desert.
>>172630959
No one is defending him as a good bossfight.
He's there to serve as a barrier between the casuals and the determinated and serves that purpose very well.
There's a reason nobody wants to co-op it.
>>172631143
Yuria doesn't want the dark, she wants the flame
The dark ending is the firekeeper eyes route
Has anyone tried Midir with a giantbow build? Is it cheesable?
>>172631043

>>172631164
>d we can finally say goodbye to this jap cancer
Nope. Dark Souls is a new annual franchise like CoD, just a little less annual. Expect a Dark Souls every three or four years for the rest of your life, Bamco owns it, not From.
Does the ending make any difference in TRC? Usurper or lighting of fire?
>>172631216
Too much recovery on the Greatbow to work
>>172630979
>Murky Longstaff
how the fuck did you manage to be so wrong about a single thing on every single point.
First of all, it doesn't scale with faith, at all.
Second of all, it's niche is that if you were smart enough to use a 60int/7fai build with the Murky Longstaff it'd out-perform the Court Sorcerer Staff with the Dark Sorcery spells, if you use it's weapon art. It is not designed for Hex builds, and it's fucking disappointing, no hexer would willingly replace the Izalith Staff with Murky unless they were braindead.
>>172630954
>exiled by the other Pygmy Lords for wanting to link the fire
> (basically doing the will of the gods, which the Pygmies despise)
But the Pygmy Lords would have wanted that. All they seem to do is remain in whatever pocket dimension Filanore keeps them in with the dark soul. They seem to be content with that.
>>172631219
Okay thanks, i already got that one
>>172631232
Got you covered senpai
What level for TRC?
Aldrich is a bullshit fight in SL1 and I only beat him because I got lucky with his arrow shooting shit.
Bad design.
>>172631216
midir is VERY doable with a +5 milwood greatbow. at 600-700 AR with 40+ strength, you're doing 300-500 damage a hit to his head while maintaining just enough range to keep him tricked into doing the flames-on-feets-into-lasers attack
>>172631258
except everybody will know it it's just as shit as everything after MW2.
>>172630979
>blindfold mask is a dark version of crown of dusk
Wonder why they didn't include a miracle version as well, like the Crown of the Dark Sun.
>>172631216
Didn't try it with a greatbow but I did try it with Gael's Repeating Crossbow and you only deal like 20% of his HP before you run out of lightning bolts
>>172631164
Nigga these questions have been known for a while now
>what causes the hollowing curse?
The First Flame growing weak enough that it can no longer differentiate the concepts of "dead" and "alive". It is not a curse, but a side effect of the laws of the world breaking down.
>what is its purpose?
There's no purpose. It's simply another sign that the Flame is dying.
>>172630112
Hilarious how people don't realize that this gives you the secret ending
>>172631216
Lightning Arrow strat works
>>172631164
Hollow is the natural state of man. Humans with the power of the dark soul are normally undying beef jerky.
Gwyn sealed this power with fire, which also granted humans life in the normal sense. They don't look like beef jerky, they experience non-jerky life and then they die. As the fire fades, this seal weakens, causing some humans to regain their immortality. However, this also means they begin losing all the normal things that fire granted to them. The obsession with not losing their past life is what eventually drives hollows mad and turns them into mindless killing machines hellbent on consuming souls (bits of fire) in the vain hope of preserving their old self. Hollowing isn't so much a curse as it is a consequence.
>>172631351

E Faith scaling is still scaling. After 45int, it gets roughly the same amount of damage per level of Fth that it does for Int (2-3 per level).
At 60int/7fth it does less damage with dark sorceries than the Court Sorcerer Staff, both with and without Chant from the Depths.
I suspect you never bothered to actually check your work. Don't just believe everything you read on reddit, anon, the place is full of idiots.

does dark magic scale off int and faith like in das2?
i thought they were just gimmicked magic arrow type shits. is 'dark greatsword' a hex spell? or does this only apply to the little homing 'deep' blobbies
>>172631409
He talked about it in the sense that he has no idea what it means or why it's possible and is disappointed that now we'll never know.

While we're talking about CE gestures, is it possible to give yourself Vilhelm's standing with arms crossed gesture? Or is it an animation as opposed to a gesture (assuming the latter can be added to the gesture menu whereas the former cannot)?

>does dark magic scale off int and faith like in das2?
Depends on the catalyst you cast it with. When using Izalith Staff, dark sorceries scale with both Intelligence and Fath and softcap at 45int/45fth. When using Sunless Talisman or Caitha's Chime, dark miracles scale with both Intelligence and Faith and softcap at 45int/45fth. You can tell which spells are dark by the way their icon looks, and dark spells have a corroded scroll in their picture. Dark sorceries are Deep Soul, Great Deep Soul, Great Soul Dregs, Affinity, and Dark Edge, dark miracles are Gnaw, Dorhy's Gnawing, Lifehunt Scythe, and Dead Again.
Anyone else having trouble with the Spears covenant? I was able to invade every 30 seconds or so the first day, but now it just never happens, I tried being summoned as white phantom and it works nice a fast, but the boss was always the NPC, never a player.
If you thought the RKPUGS were bad before, wait til the new "pontiff right eye + carthus beacon" meta sinks in.
This combination melts everything I've tried it on.
>an entire house full of those overgrown flies
>they swarm you if you step far enough in
Well, this is horrifying.
>>172631568
>>172631453
On that note, I should probably mention: Izalith Staff, Sunless Talisman, and Caitha's Chime do NOT give this dual scaling bonus to non-dark spells, it only applies to dark spells. Crystal Chime does give its dual scaling to magic and lightning spells, but not to physical spells like Wrath of Gods, and technically does give dual scaling to dark spells but is very weak with them.

How does the Ritual Spear Fragment work? Is it an AOE type deal like Divine Pillars of Light or what? I'm not sure how to use it when Spearfagging.
this piece of shit sucks sweaty donkey dick, why couldnt it just be a pure INT instead of bullshit DEX/INT split weapon, that damage is already bad enough
Crucifix is BEAST
>>172631434
>E Faith Scaling at +10
It's a gimmick staff and it's not even a good one, Izalith +5 outperforms it with or without weapon art. My mistake about Court Sorcerer Staff though, I forgot to upgrade it when testing and just realized I have a standard one.
Guess Murky is even more shit than I thought.
>>172631760
Looks perfectly usable to me. The only thing I'd suggest is dropping one point out of Vigor and putting it into Dexterity for Onyx Blade.

>Flame also regulates Life and Death, but nope, surely it dying would have no influence on the concept of being living or dead. It's not like the "they" shown on the into of Dark Souls 1 act, look and move exactly like hollows either, and it's not like kindling the flame ends the "curse" for a while
>it's not like we had two entire NPCs dedicated solely to drilling that fact into our heads either
>>172631390
thanks. at least this makes sense.
but how long can the rekindling of the flame continue on?
it barely looks like a little shitty candle at the end of the game.
and when you try to burn yourself nothing really happens.
so it doesn't matter what we do the next faggots who come after us won't be able to make a tiny little spark.
what then? forever lasting darkness?
the world returns to drakuns & trees and after eons another flame pops up from nothing?

Remove Deep Ring, replace with Sage Ring

Uninfuse Murky Handscythe, equip left-hand talisman/chime and Dark Blade for buffing
Remove Great Deep Soul, it's redundant with Great Soul Dregs
Remove Dark Edge, it's redundant with Black Flame
Other than that, you're good to go.

>can't make any good mixed fashion sets using parts from Lapp's because of the colour of the metal
I mean, it looks great as full set, but it's a shame that it's all that colour, and that the helmet always has a bit massive neck overhang if not used with something that lets it keep the "neck plate" bit.

I agree, yes. Its gimmick is that somebody put a tiny scythe on the end so it hits harder, and it's not a very good gimmick at that.
>>172632014
But don't dark sorceries scale with Faith and Int? You'd have to go 60/60 for better testing if so.

No he wouldn't, all dark catalysts softcap at 45/45 and Murky Longstaff is the same. In fact, they softcap so fucking hard that you could call it a hardcap, they literally get 2-4 damage per level after 45/45.

>>172632014
Great Soul Dregs has the same tracking and speed as Deep Soul/Great Deep Soul. Yes, it has bad tracking and slow speed, but it's bad for the same reasons the others are bad which means it's still a direct improvement just for the damage alone. The hitbox is also so massive that you can reliably tag people in lag, though that isn't a good argument for anything.
I have never played a Souls game and I know a tiny bit about all that sweet Dark Souls lore.
Is there anyone in the entire series that isn't dead in some way?

The idea that the soul resides in blood is an old medieval superstition. It's part of what was used to justified feudalism, as pretty much every european king claimed a blood-relation either to Jesus Christ, God, or some other Bible character. Blood was the inheritance of divine right to rule.
Artorias' Soul lives on in the blood of wolves, and the power of his soul is acquired by forming a blood-pact with those wolves.
Blood is needed to paint a world, and the power of the soul residing in that blood is important. Painter needed blood that held the power of the Dark Soul. You obviously can't paint with a soul on its own, so using blood is the only way to imbue the power of a soul into a painting.

Huh, Blindfold Mask does affect Dark Weapon damage too, just tested my +10 Dark Follower Saber against that first emaciated undead in Irithyll Dungeon off to the right, 383 damage with mask on, 369 damage with mask off, not a huge difference but there you go I guess.

The fact that he can be summoned while I'm still unembered kind of makes me feel like it's important.
>>172632773
I dunno, that was the only word I could think of that matched Midir, especially with the way Shira pronounces it.
>>172632783

The usurpation of fire ends the age of fire without snuffing the flame. Instead of grey crags and archtrees with the possibility f a new universe, it's just jerkymen forever.

I hate how the venom from the community spread to the actual fucking game.
The amount of good features that DaS2 brought to the series that were removed in 3 for no reason other than DUDE SOUL MEMORY FLYING VOLCANOS B TEAM!!!! is saddening.

Dark scaling, End/Vit split, upgraded rings, spells costing stamina, billions of infusions, a ring for casting speed, and a whole bunch of other shit was carried over from DaS2.

>>172633515
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're a powerstancing Kirito who hated the change to the Manikin mask.
I can't say I don't miss a lot of weapons and armor sets from DaS2, but I'm happy they brought back the Ruin Set and added another, less shit looking Stechhelm. I don't mind the new Orma&Reeve design, it's appropriate.
>>172633484
Millwood Knights are probably your best bet.
>>172633484
Millwood knights are the highest droprate but can be a pain to farm because of inconvenient bonfires.
All enemies in Farron Keep can drop them rarely, and there's a huge group of slugs you can kill quickly from the ruins bonfire. You need like 200 item discover or else they'll only drop poison gems, though.
>>172633454
There's never really been an age of dark
Gods sealed away the Pygmy Kings and Abyss, so they couldn't give an opposing view (only one of the Serpents did).
Gods brainwashed the humans to think linking the fire was the only choice.
Where do people PVP nowadays, haven't played since the Pontiff days
>>172633539
Is it? I thought it was pronounced MID and then a hard R.
Did the DLCs do anything to help out casters?
I played an omni-mage in DS2, using all types of magic. Shit was pretty fun. In ds3, not so much. But I did see that demon's scar weapon which looks like it could be fun for some sorcerer staff/sword+pyromancy shenanigans. Anyone use it enough to give a general impression how well it does? Apparently it also makes pyromancy damage scale with dex along with int and faith.

It's just bad to some people, as always.
There is a third ending now though. I'm not sure what happens then though. It seems like the Age of Man but the Age of Man and Age of Dark are supposed to be one and the same.
>>172633583
Dark is only distinct from flame when flame exists to define it. Without fire, there is no dark, and everything is grey.
Or, it will be grey when all the hollows are done eating all the humanity and physical manifestations of dark.

DaS3 was a complete game worth the full price in the length, breadth and depth of content. If additional stuff was broken off, it was because it simply would be unjustifiable to give the consumer that much for the standard pricetag.
The main game was worth its dollar value, and the DLCs were worth their dollar value as well.
So if I want to keep in range of starter characters I have to complete the game with a max of +2 on my weapon?

Kind of, but not really. Just get the crystal chime so you can have dual scaling on your sorceries and miracles. Don't bother using dark spells with it though, it doesn't do them very well.

It's a shame that bow is so good because it looks like complete shit.

That thing is the reason the pilgrims wore big stones on their backs and made pilgrimage to Lothric in order to die.

>>172633893
I've got that one, trying to figure out the best use for it. Considered izalith staff for dark sorceries, chime for regular sorceries and miracles, and either pyromancy flame or demon's scar for pyromancy. Ignore dark miracles because there's not enough to work with. Still kinda wish the white hair talisman wasn't useless, or that we'd get a sorcery/pyromancy dual catalyst, but since this is the last dlc I guess that's just never going to happen.

>>172633675
>>172633696
I liked Powerstancing (Straight Swords though, Katanas are shit), but I was mostly talking about features like blue police, small soapstones, being invaded even when the boss is dead, buffing and infusing boss weapons, rat covenant, being able to carry more than 99 arrows/bolts (seriously, what's the fucking point of this? Why go to the effort of giving bows/xbows rolling attacks and weapon arts and then make them unsustainable as a main weapon?), poison not being a meme, phantoms not being able to estus while there's an invader, estus being a slow animation slow heal over time so you can actually punish people, poise that worked and wasn't overpowered (funny that they hotfixed poise in 3 to be a butchered version of 2's, with no stone ring to counter it), being able to attack with left handed weapons seriously if I wanted to block I'd use a shield you fucking kike.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some more, but still.
I'm not trying to say DARK SOULS 2 WAS THE BEST IN THE SERIES WHARGLBARGL, far from it. It's just sad how much 3 regressed because they wanted to distance themselves from 2 so much because of how hated it was.
>>172634198
Crystal Chime is great for throwing surprise Sunlight Spears or Soul Greatswords when your opponent was expecting Forbidden Sun. As of TRC, it's also great for using Old Moonlight and Lightning Arrow to fuck with dodge timing.
White Hair Talisman is good on a 15int/15fth build with all those non-scaling support spells, to the point that it really should've had those as requirements instead of 16int/24fth.
>>172634283
Crucifix is buffable, and since the innate dark damage is already high enough to overcome the split defense penalty, the ~220 AR added from dark blade is raw damage added directly to your damage output.
It also has an amazingly useful WA (protip: learn the timing to roll through the explosion) and those godlike greatclub R2s

No, what that description (cleric set) says is that they wore the shells so they wouldn't become seedbeds for darkness. It said nothing about the pus of man.
Angels are tree people, so seedbed makes more sense for them.
>>172634498
Well, Abyss didn't create Gnaw and the little critters that nibble (just big ones that bite), so he's technically correct. Irina was probably looking into the Deep.

>>172634384
>>172634463
I'd argue that crucifix WA is a bit too short-ranged. Add to that the lack of HA on halberds in general and I don't see the R2s being very useful at all. You'll also be completely reliant on a buff to get damage - all in all, a dark longsword seems straight up better to me.
I disagree on Great Mace moveset being worse than Ledos: Perseverance is a great versatile weapon art and the self-buff from Ledos is probably better than a resin but not so much that it justifies the insane investment. Ledos R2s are flashy and definitely more usable than great mace r2s but not all that fast or hard to dodge either
iunno, not for me i guess
Anyone got a spare Untrue Dark Ring on PC?
I totally forgot about Yuria's questline when I was leveling this character.
>>172634415
The white-faced locusts were meant to beckon men to the dark with sermons, but most of them are unable to think past their own stomachs. Someone must rise to the occasion, and restore the path of righteousness.
Perhaps that someone is you? Did you not arise from the Abyss, and did you not resist drowning in the Age of Fire? Locusts and men are kindred spirits.

>>172633473
How is it killed? You should invest in something with that much ability. You get away with too much shit. It deals huge damage easy. Spacing is no thing, attacking more often means you can stun more often which is fine with lighter weapons but on an UGS is a huge deal, the WA is a short-range Moonlight ray in the first half and the second can either be a huge Artorias flip explosion or a huge lunging stab. How is this not God-tier?
I don't give a shit about its combos, everything about it is good and to make it weaker in damage would ruin the whole idea of it. It should still exist like this. Shit just shouldn't be easy.

>>172634870
Crucifix R2 has greatclub-tier HA, and its weapon art is the one truly unpredictable attack in the game that directly affects fights every time it goes off. It's either knockdown and roar, a massive poise buff, or a ticking time bomb, all of which let you do strange and fun things to your opponent.
why does my character use shitty regular fire while friede gets to use black fire?
>>172635104

>Gwyn literally sacrificed himself to link the fire
Because that's the only way he saw that it could continue

>>172634370
I didn't like powerstancing at all, I think weapon arts is a much better system. Shoot, I don't mind how poise works in 3 because it benefits large weapons so they have an edge on faster weapons, though faster weapons always have and always will dominate the meta.
Are you serious with the blue police thing? That's in 3 and works slightly better than it did in 2, which is still bad but at least the inclusion of covenant items makes it more reliable to get summoned by a guy getting invaded- because before you had to wade through Crestfallen's dialog and pick up the covenant each time, which was a hassle. I'll agree with estus, though ADP made it so estus could be a really fast heal or a slow one.
One thing I'll give DaS2 is that magic, after GRS was nerfed, was good and balanced for the most part in pvp. Sorcery had Range, Hexes had Damage, Miracles had buffs and Pyromancy had Splash. It's unfortunate that it isn't the case in 3 because there's a lot of cool sorceries and "hexes" that are pretty trash in pvp, Pyromancy and Miracles are still good though. Also like the change of having Pyromancy having the stat investment of Hexes of DaS2 and hexes going back to being within the individual magic classes.
I also miss invading the Mirror Knight and Bell Tower.

You could do it with a female character if you set Age to 3. Because the Gael face is exclusive to males, it ends up turning the player's entire body invisible on a female.

No, you idiot. There were two file names for that, abaddon and abaddon_small. The first is for big locusts, the second is for tiny locusts. There's probably a third one for the NPC locusts as well. If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and find another filename for them.
>>172635605
He is supposed to be a secret? Found him on my first run, really not that hidden.
Why can I still see signs and get invaded when i've killed all 4 bosses?

thanks!
How much damage do I take by using dragonform instead of any armor? I did a very quick test with dragon form, naked and with master's attire and while the rags did prevent more damage the difference really wasn't that big. I let the enemy by the Ringed Inner Wall bonfire hit me a few times to see.

>>172635943
Yes, Reversal Ring is helping with that too
Who was the fire keeper in DS3? I feel like the Maiden in Black, the Emerald Herald and the Doll had a lot more character. I feel like I must be missing something, because I don't want to believe she's JUST the fire keeper.

The amount of the power of the Souls it's always been the same, it's the balance that changed.

Sure, but then how come the locust says that he "finally" found closure or something with his love? I mean, Zullie spent her whole life with him already so he should be satysfied already if the locust was talking about her.
And why is Eygon afraid of Irina? I think this is very interesting.

Can someone tell me the damage difference for hexes between 30/30 int/fai and 40/40? Is it a big enough difference to actually worry about getting? Because I'd be sacrificing a decent chunk of other stats doing so.
>>172636103
isn't doragon just the romaji for dragon or something?
hey what was with that weird snake doll in ariandel, and why was the dlc2 bonfire right in front of it?
Fucking lol, I never use Greatshields ever, but playing as a spear of the Church is so easy with it.
They can't fight because getting chased and ganked.
If they have summons, I can waste 10-15 minutes of their time.
>>172636481
Nothing ever implies Alva was in love with Serreta. He was on a quest to find a cure for her, but knights don't have to love people to go on quests for them.
What are the best parry weapons that are not a shield or the caestus?
Where is my mad hollow gesture?
>>172636479
Lone host right?
It happens. The game deems you bad enough to be used as cannon fodder for the noobies who died to the big boys a few times in the Spears bossfight.
Pretty intricate mechanic if you ask me.
>>172628891
It's boring to some because they overlevel, steamroll everything because the mindflayer grab doesn't OHKO them or nearly kill them even so they just R1 mash until they're dead.
As a result they spend more time retreading the map and that frustrates/bores them. Those that replace skill with soul levels or twinking or cheese meta only take fun out of the game for themselves.

In theory, this should be really good for multiplayer.
Single universe, its the only way that this could work desu.
Like Manus. World isnt destroyed because you already killed him in 1. Its all linear. It must happen, so only one layer exists.

Timelines, though it's a blurred line between the two since time is distorted. Kindling the fire essentially reboots the world. But when the flame starts to die reality begins warping and the past present adn future start to smash together, hence why The Earthen peak and associated areas look like inception.
At the end where you fight Gael you time travel to the very last moment of the age of fire. The First Flame is all but extinguished and gael has almost devoured every last piece of the dark soul remaining in the world, all that's left is that one bloke crawling through the ash and you. He got there manually too by waiting countless millenia roaming the world.
Paintings could be considered alternate dimensions I think. The painting the loli makes with the dark souls blood is essentially her creating an entire new world outside of the cycle.A world born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood

Why anyone would use hexes at 30/30 is beyond me, especially when 40/40 is the softcap for pyromancy.
The damage difference is about 10%, which is pretty good. Don't let the small % number fool you, it's a whole lot bigger when we're talking about spells with 500-600 base damage.
>>172636854

I wished that was going to be the new ending. The Dark Soul does something with the First Flame and everything burns to ashes permanently, serving as the very final and definitive ending for the series. If Gael's arena was the future, then actually show that happening. Instead we got just little thanks from the painter and nothing else.
>>172636934
I was just about to go online and fight the boss, since I haven't maxed the covenant yet and there aren't enough hosts to make waiting for summons worth it.

A bit late to the party, but Great Deep Soul is not redundant with Great Soul Dregs. Great Soul Dregs takes a shit ton of stamina to cast, and with 20 End you're only getting one if you want to roll afterwards. Meanwhile Great Deep Soul costs three times less FP and can be spammed because of its quicker casting speed and much lower stamina cost.

That's exactly what he says, though. He calls himself beyond worldly desires.

the ring/darksign is a ring of fire gwyn used to contain the darkness/humanity in men. I forget about that knight but presumably he is also one of the last ones left and would've been shortly eaten by gael before you turned up.

>>172637321
Not him, but the ringed knights obviously have nothing to do with gwyn, and it's obvious if you take even five seconds to read the item description. They're human knights from the abyss, and gwyn thought that shit was fucked up so he put a seal on them to lock their true power away. They're basically darkwraiths before darkwraiths were a thing, except these guys fought in the dragon war and kicked ass.

Yeah, that's why ENB is so loyal to the Estoc despite it being meh since. Precisely the same reason he likes the rifle spear in BB. Watching him play just using the same poke over and over just sapped me of respect for him.

It's weaker than the other flames for spell buff but the idea is it can be used as a melee weapon.
Personally I tried using it with my pure pyro build and it's not bad as a main hand weapon, near as I can tell it's not any faster at casting either. I imagine it'd take people by surprise in PvP if you were in a melee fight with them, got a parry and used Sacred Flame instead of riposte.

As I see it that's the lesson, he was the typical romance knight with a love for an idealized woman, his personal Madonna, and went through a journey of self sacrifice for her sake, along that journey he was slowly thaught about genuine life and love by the company of Zullie.

Unlike most people here, I don't find salt amusing, just a badge of dishonor. I'm disappointed in you anon, similar to your father. Why don't you go make another retarded cosplay build and have phantoms carry you through the game since your build is shit and you're not good enough to do it yourself with limited weaponry.
>>172638070
And DeS, DaS1, BB, etc.
It's pretty obvious what his intention was if you look at DeS. There's a good amount of shit that never changed, or only changed to refine an idea. Invasions where to slow people, invasion covenants were for fun and competitive PvP was a cancer that was only fed in the B Team game that was so bad that it had to be fixed across a shitton of meh DLC that took a really fucking dumb game and made it...acceptable, but only in the current gen versions that changed enemy areas and more plus no extra cost package.

Because you're asking other people to waste energy to tell you the story but the shit you asked for is so basic and easy you could have figured it out yourself with a little bit of effort. It's disrespectful and one of the biggest indicators of millennials. Someone else's time and effort is worth less than yours so just ask someone else and don't bother yourself.
In the earlier days of the internet you'd be roasted for that kind of shit, but because the internet is now approximately 70% like you, it's just accepted nowadays.

I used to love watching and listening to ENB but starting with Dark Souls 2 he started doing "Education Walkthroughs" and you can tell he has a young audience who sees him on authority or at least he believes so when he makes a video educating people on how credit works in the US.
Fuck man, then BB he just leads you on over and over during his playthrough when he knew what it was. You know what I don't need? To watch a murder mystery with a guy who's seen it ten times and wants to pretend like he knows what I know. I want someone to shut the fuck up or give me a unique viewpoint on it.
He is probably playing TRC right now privately so he can do his "This is how I think you should play" run where he just fucking cheese the game while telling you what his take on the story is.
He's a sharp guy but the viewers both got his ego up too far, fucked his content, and hurt his widdle fweelings. I lost a lot of respect for him over that. I had a popular website for hacking phones pre-iphone/android and until it got cease&desisted I got all kinds of shit from idiots who would come and fuck their phones when trying to steal games or ringtones, and send me threats or say they were calling the police.

>>172639537
>He is probably playing TRC right now privately so he can do his "This is how I think you should play" run
Not likely. He quit youtube and moved to twitch full-time, where his delusional fanboys throw him $20 every time he says a meme.

Conjecture and good lore discussion comes from having a baseline understanding of the basic facts, ala Gwyn put the darksign on those knights to seal their power.
If you don't have those facts you can't have that discussion. You didn't come here with ideas to trade and a basic understanding, you came here asking someone to explain the game to you since you didn't bother trying. Don't try to mislead and manipulate people by rephrasing what you did in false and goalpost-moving light.
Be ashamed of yourself for being so scummy you're trying to deceive anonymous people who will never know who you are. It speaks to how you feel inside because any or all of us could be anyone or no one yet you feel compelled to not only keep trying to change someone's opinion but to use deception to do so yet you will never know if you will even speak to those people again.

Is there any actual proof of this or just theoryfags? Isn't it possible that he just got there the same way you do? Doesn't that make a lot more sense than him somehow living for thousands of years despite already being an old man at the start of the DLC?

not broken but some things change a lot
enemy dodges for obvious example have less i-frames, your movement is more slippery, gravity from drops becomes faster, estus and humanity can be used faster
physics and frame related things are mostly affected. another obvious difference is how camera drags with you and follows you faster the higher your FPS

it doesn't prevent the problems but it does reduce them

>he doesn't have 2 monitors
Why the fuck does Midir have a health pool that would make the Ancient Dragon blush?

>mfw I played the whole game like that (until now) and thought it was supposed to be like that
Old Phokz's table isn't working for me anymore and I just noticed that CEforum was deleted.
So, no item-drop and weapon characteristics tables anymore?

No. Fuck you, millenal cancerous retard
>>172643152
the difference is just like that, big enough to be noticed if you try it for a while but easily completely missed if you never mess with it
the biggest annoyance I personally have with the FPS hack is how it makes the game easier

>he knows about the Dark Soul
Literally everyone in Dark Souls knows about the Dark Soul, it's apart of the well-known creation myth in-universe
Does anyone else play as a pyromancer because its the more versatile starting build for respecing?
