I've fully exhausted the Souls series, and I'm dying for more content already. Is the King's Field series actually worth playing? Is it unbearably outdated? Does it actually feels like a Souls precursor or only very loosely?

I can't say the screenshots are very encouraging, but I'm looking through the pastebin, and I'm compelled (and a little desperate).

>>172925931
This, Midir and Gael are both garbage for coop. It sucks because I like both fights and want to replay them, but fuck Midir's coop health.

Mimic for dummies:

-Don't lock on, you dumb babby.
-When he stands on his hind legs, he will breathe beneath him. This extends further behind than in front of him, so you should run away in front of him most of the time. If you're at his legs then just run towards the tail.
>His arm swipes are always paired wit another swipe.
>Instinctively roll whenever he turns around, to avoid tail swipe.
>When he does the flyover with his breath, it will always breathe to your right. If you don't have time to run left, you can actually roll through the flame unscathed, similar to chariot spike from DaS 2.
-The mad flailing bullshit can generally be countered by spam-rolling towards him for the duration. He will do this a lot as his health gets low.
-If you can't dodge the dark attacks at phase 2, you're hopeless. Learn to manage stamina.
-He has a forward lunge move which is probably his biggest threat, because it's poorly telegraphed. He will do a small wind up that lasts only a second.
-His beam attacks are easily recognized, so just get to his hind legs whenever he stsrts and you're completely safe to chip away at him while he goes full retard.

No, you don't understand, I desperately want to keep playing these games. I fucking love them to death and every moment playing them, I wish they didn't have to end, but I can't just replay the same things over and over again or deal with this shitty PVP. I just need another Souls-like game to play as soon as possible. All other vidya just seems bland in comparison now. And I don't have a PS4, so no BB or Nioh for me.

>>172925876
Just beat him, SL 89, straight sword, ~250 damage a swing. Everything he does is telegraphed, man. Over half his attacks are avoided just by zoning yourself, and the rest are simple rolls. The only challenge is figuring out the solution to each od his moves, then having to remain focused for a long time.

>>172926901
Yeah well unlike some of you NEETS I got a job, so I can't be at home all day/night wasting my time on forums instead of actually playing vidyums.

do all weapons have the same attack window, with none having longer lingering damage?

by that I mean say someone keeps spamming running attacks at you, using a katana your one handed R2 is a thrust which you can time to counter them. Range is average and the attack itself has to be timed pretty well to hit them. is there a spear or something that has a long attack window? I don't know what the right term is for that.

It doesn't. You're going to get one or two shot if you get hit regardless of what level you are, and his resistances and HP are so high that your damage stats barely matter.

>>172927107
My phone is discreet. My work PC isn't.

>want to get back and do dlc's
>be me at ng+
>one reroll left
>can't choose a weapon, everything i have is shit
What do i do? Im in (shitty) dex build now with washing pole\pontif scythe, was thinking about going pontif knight sword but maybe something else? Not heavy weapons (im too retarded to use such slow waepons, maybe hammers are ok) or longswords (im tired of them).

>>172926669
>what are the best dex weapons
Assuming actual dex:
Sellsword Twinblades
Frayed Blade
Crow Quills

Then for Dex/Caster mix
Brigand Twindaggers
Friede's Scythe
Aquamarine Dagger
Demon's Scar

If you're choosing both the weapon type and the build, these are the only options you'd bother to make a Dex build for. There are weapons like Murakumo which are best as Sharp, but there's no point using the Murakumo unless you're already committed to a Dex build, as Heavy Exile is objectively better.

>>172927250
Except his stupid lunge.

>>172927324
You mean the one where he kneels back for 4 seconds?

>>172926814
Only vertically, and most of the time you don't have to change elevation. Turning the camera around for a side on view as you slam some big hit into something is visually appealing as fuck.

>>172927250
Nah fuck Midir.

No, anon, you are the one who doesn't understand. I felt the same way you did, but after abandoning the series for almost a year, and having come back to it just a couple of days ago, I'm getting almost the same levels of enjoyment as when I was first starting out.

>>172926385
>Don't lock on, you dumb babby.
You can lock on, just don't stand under him. If you stay in front of him to bait and punish his attacks, you'll only break lock if he does a flying move.

>He has a forward lunge move which is probably his biggest threat, because it's poorly telegraphed
No, it's not. When he's not doing anything, that means he's probably winding one up. Just have a trigger hair on roll, and react-dodge when you see water splash around his legs. Technically if you're not facing him head-on you can see him rear back slightly, but that only matters if you're a summoned phantom who he isn't directly facing.

>>172926560
The one on the bridge you can bait into a stationary position by running back to the beginning, then wail on him as he vanishes.

The ones in the water cooler can be plunge attacked for a free critical, supposedly. I've had trouble getting them into the riposte state sometimes, I think you have to directly hit the head.

>>172926669
Mirrah is pretty good.

Frayed Blade has A scaling Dex, Crow Talons are also pretty good.

with everyone talking about no honour in invasions. The only rule I go by is if the host is alone and takes damage before me, but never uses estus I don't use estus either. If the host ever takes a sippy, or if they have summoned help, or if they have a seed active I heal away.

What about you guys?

So now that greatlance is actually good, I want to do a Tower Knight build with Greatlance and Greatshield of Glory.

Any idea what that would look like?

is there a ring that reduces lockon distance, or is the dark area in the grand archives with the two crystal lizards a special places that reduces it? Just invaded some dude and I could not lockon to him unless he was in hitting range.

>-Don't lock on, you dumb babby.
>this fucking meme has been going for over seven years

Even in Bloodborne with it's large monsters this is fucking dumb.
You losers need to learn how to dodge and time your blocks if you have a shield.

The i-frames from dodges are total, your character ceases to exist during those frames, nothing can touch them.

I see this all the time now with Midir and things from Bloodborne like Bloodletting Beast, retards running around in circles awkwardly rolling about in all directions, hacking at legs and shit, taking ten minutes to finish the fight only to be stomped by something outside the camera.

Just stay in it's face and get staggers + counter damage. If the thing has an aoe just dodge twice/three times out the fucking way.


Holy shit the fucking clean fights and successes achievable when dropping that no-lock-on shit is amazing. I bet fucking Peeve or some other e-celeb with an anime laugh made that shit up and it stuck forever.

bats 7 attempts
spear 1 attempt (summons was terrible)
midir 5 attempts
gael 6 attempts

this was on NG with a sl120 character though. midir especially would've raped me on NG+

>>172928730
Nigga the cryptic bloodstains and messages are the whole point of the series' intended atmosphere. I cringe at people like you who think they're spoilers or some shit.

Four attempts, two on each form. Ended on the laser once I figured out how much easier it is.

>spears
First attempt, because I got Halflight. Was extremely hype when I noticed it was basically an Old Monk homage, but then extremely disappointed when I just kind of breezed through it. I assumed Halflight was just a really shitty player.

>midir
Something like fifteen. I just kept running out of resources because I was treating it like any other boss fight. Final attempt involved me playing ultra cautious. Took half of eternity but I finished with six sips to spare.

>gael
Five or six attempts, I forget. Got him down to ~25% in my first fight, everything after that was learning how the cape moves and how to act around the lightning.

The fuck are you sperging on about? There's tons of PvE content in this series that becomes trivialized once you realize you can just turn off lock-on and dead aim everything.

Everyone threw a fit at Dark Souls 2 mobs, buy they're easy as fuck if you just don't lock on and get your ass surrounded because of it.

Dead aiming allows you to dodge attacks purely by running the fuck around them instead of taking risky rolls for absolutely no other reason than either being stupid or showing off to yourself.

Locking on is almost like parrying. You're taking a risk of fucking your timing up when it's not even necessary. Almost every enemy is designed with lock on in mind. That's why dead aiming is such an effective playstyle.

>>172929121
Yes. That's my point. That's literally what I said.

When will normies realize that Gwynevere was in the game all along?
DkS3 was the last chance to go full fanservice and, to be quite honest, Miyazaki did just that. He brought Gwyndolin back, unnecessarily. He brought the fucking Firstborn to the table, unnecessarily. He delivered you Pygmies. What on god's green earth makes you believe he would not bring Gwynevere back? Her soul is found exactly where Gwynevere (both real and illusion) used to be, too.
>But she vanished
Yeah and she was obviously very well hidden away in the Cathedral.

Supposedly she has no name, if you pick that option for the name of her Painted World.

Pyromancer and Dark builds get shit on hard in this DLC because Demon Princes and Midir laugh at fire and dark damage. Pretty sure those should still do good damage to Gael though.

>>172929373

Holy shit, what sl are you?
I did it on first try. It spawned me some backpedaling mage, it was a really tedious, but I pulled a spear and killed him. Then I did a reset two times and rekt these guys too, they looked like this was their first summon (you can see a fear in them when they realize they have no chuggies). I'm sl120.
Oddly enough, every time I reset I had a player, but it summoned me only once in 2 hours.

>>172929749
Yes, I know that, but still there is a fuckton of unexplained things regarding her.

Also why are there so many feathers in the Twin Princes' boss room? That shit is just too random, for example.

Anyone else wish they'd remaster DaS 1?

Things like better menus, unlocked directional rolling, not shit matchmaking, covenant slots, streamlined weapon crafting, respeccing, dual weapons, more INT/FTH weapons, expanded NPC AI, etc.
Not to mention a proper PC release.

DaS 1 feels like such a fucking chore to play from just installing, to not being able to respec, to clunky fucking controls.

DaS 2 I like and it feels fine to play through even after playing 3. But 1 just feels too damn dated.

There must be some connection.

He does though. Except the giant appendage eating him. I recognised him at first glance, not when I saw him in-game, but when the cheevo icons where leaked. That far back and immediately. Rosaria looks nothing like Gwynevere and we have pretty clear views of both. NK is weird. Can't really say he's changed his facial structure because he's probably hollowed to the fuck, probably because of the loss of his deific status. What he wears and what he uses is extremely similar to the what we saw in that broken up statue

I find walking in and out of the spear boss room every minute or so helps get you summoned for it. It resets your matchmaking and I think that helps you get immediately re-evaluated, or perhaps placed in a new pool. Also being close to the boss room itself might place you closer in priority.

E.g. I never get summoned while I'm playing or waiting in amother area. But with my method, I get a summon every 10 minutes.

>>172930674
24 end is enough for anything that isnt an ugs
try 40 vit

>>172930782
nope. DS3 is an abandoned trashgame pestered by gankers, so 99.9% of the weapons are useless anyways

Demon prince: 3 attempts

Spears: 4 attempts

Midir: 1 attempt

Gael: 2 attempts

Sword and board makes everything easy, went with BKS for Spears last attempt and just went face on someone with 26 vig...

>CU meeting Gwyndolin is not canon
>Implying CU didn't fight him but lose and just decided to fuck it and move on because he was rocking a Str build anyway

>>172930831
I wanted to use lothric gs, but I think I'm going to wait on that for now

maybe I'll just go up to SL130 instead of 40 then

thanks

>>172930727
Sorry about the wait, got invaded by some chucklefuck and it doesn't look like that anon's coming to drop me Embers. Sign's down now.

Awesome, I'll try to keep a closer eye on you this time so that you don't waste healing things on me. Running out of estus is what kind of fucked me in the end that last time.

>>172931135
The way that screenshot is framed reminds me of Lost Bastille.

>>172931013
Seeing some guy progressing through the single player with cheats enabled isn't new or interesting. Seeing backstabs in Chain Backstabs: Prepare to Backstab edition isn't interesting. Nothing about your youtube video is worth my time.

>>172931145
>cute feet moving at incredibly hihg speed

>Halflight can parry you
I'll be damned.
And you can summon Patches for the fight... and he's using the Splitleaf. A little on the nose, From.

I was wondering who that clothing set belonged to, but I notice her legs are different than the Loincloth item you find in Earthen Peak. Are her leggings actually in TRC somewhere?

>>172930653
Bkga, bkgs, dsga shouldn't be this low.
Flagpole is goat on quality.

>>172930958
I know it's ironic at this point, but I have high hopes for blameborne. He can't fuck up gamebalance five times in a row, right?

For the Frayed Blade you go 60 Dex right?

Whats a good backup weapon incase of poise tanks

Is Ashes of Ariandel really as horrendously short as people make it out to be?

I thinking of buying it based on the praise I'm hearing about the final boss fight and also that I really like how Vilhelm's set looks and would like the fashionsouls

Depressingly going above 40 Dex only gives you the same AR as putting the same number of points into STR, and putting the extra points into STR is more useful in general for anything else you might want to use.

then going for 27 end is a must if you wanted lotrhics gs
i like 40 vig but 35 is probably enough
also, where is your sage ring?

I've made a huge mistake

It is shorter than even AotA and one of the bosses is a complete joke. It has some nice weapons and scenery in it though

>>172931415
Midir has some ridiculous damage output.

The whole area is actually of a decent size, but only if you're exploring every nook. If you beeline the ending it's short.
