Int/Fth. Even if you aren't casting, leveling them up will make huge improvements to your elemental defenses. A little faith goes a long way too, since healing miracles don't scale you can get the full effect of heal from only a little faith investment.

Next, Endurance. Vigor last when you stop running out of stamina.

You know what? Fuck you, Miyazaki, for ruining Archdragon Peak with these meme-ass enemies. That was easily one of the top 3 areas in DS2 (a game already severely lacking in good level design) and you just had to use SOTFS to fuck it up and turn it into a boring slog, didn't you? It takes a real special kind of cunt to look at an area full of soaring dragons and towering ancient fortresses and say "You know what this needs? Some shitty zombies that instantly destroy all your equipment so you have to take time to get it fixed. Those baka gaijins will never see it coming!"

He's not ugly but it feels that he was a bit shy and dorky in college. But he was a nice guy and always there for his sister so she would return the favor by doing the kind of stuff with him the girls in his uni would not. I don't think she let him in the ol' hatchet wound but she probably drained a whole lot of blightpus out of him if you know what I'm saying. Probably also provided the buns for his hotdog.

it's a boss that punishes alot of the gameplay that was fully encouraged in ds3 that allowed people to get to that point of the game in the first place. they hit the legs or they go greedy R1 spam on the head. they cannot time rolls properly and the fights have massive flashy delayed attacks that punish the roll spam that is a get out of jail free card for most everything else in ds3

I didn't think he was the hardest, but it took me a few tries of panicking and not understanding his attacks or recognizing the tells. It took me a very, very slow try to understand how to take care of him. How hard he hits, how fucking relentless his berserk move is and how much hp he has just adds to the panic and "oh fuck what do I do" factor where you just use up all your estus at the beginning, and you struggle to find openings to attack since you're healing because you panicked, so you end up losing to him a bunch of times without taking any of his health away.
After taking my time to learn what to do, he's not particularly hard, just pretty stressful because it's a long fight. But I can totally see why people struggle with Midir.

I'm not a cuck. And I don't "fantasize" about it per se, I'm just observing that their relationship is a fair bit more intimate than a normal brother/sister thing is. This is something the leaker kinda confirmed, that enb's sister is a bit nutty about him. And yeah, I think she provided him some succor before he met his current wife and now that the wife is out of the picture she's back to being his wife / sis. He's having a looong dry spell and the sis probably doesn't mind giving him a "helping hand" every now and then. He's got a lot of Accursed Brew stored up that need a releasing and y'know she puts some lace gloves on, puts some ointment on his weapon and tugs away until he drops the sticky white stuff on her character.

The damage formula works based on thresholds. Taking 100 flat damage with 100 flat defense won't reduce the damage to zero, and having 0 flat defense won't make you take exactly 100 damage.

No, with DS1 he was super on point with the lore, to the point where Miyazaki himself was impressed with Marcus' lore-fu. He himself IS actually in the games' lore because the Porcine shield is there as a honor for him.

He just didn't care for the lore of DS2/3 because they were sequels to a game which didn't need any sequels. He likes DeS/DS1/BB the most.

What's the best things to level up from here?
I'm a pyro going for eventual 40/40 but I leveled health to 27 first because I die too much. Where do I put these points and what's the best way to level up as you through the game?
I've beaten smouldering lake and the dancer too.

>>186720768
Not him but I never did a NG+ run on DaS1. Do you mean when you were gravelorded or are they specificly harder phantom enemies in places?

>>186720586
I tested the damage of a spell on a hollow of Cemetary of Ash at 100 spell buff up to 200 spell buff (1 int to 99 int for an unupgraded sorcery staff). Remove the spell requirements beforehand (doesn't make much difference, spell buff seems like a pure multiplier of the damage the spell is supposed to do, nothing exponential). Then, modify a longsword to do pure magic damage with CE (or any weapon that doesn't have crit rating, type of damage like standard/slash/thrust/strike doesn't make any difference), then modify the damage of your weapon until its R1s match the damage of your spell onto the enemy, then look at your weapon's AR and rinse and repeat. If you want to verify that this still works, you can always attack the Giant Crystal Lizard right next to the hollows and see that both your weapon and the spell will do the same amount of damage.

I hope it catches on with some of the former Souls community. I'd really like Monster Hunter to become a success in the west.

I think there's a decent chance too, in a post-souls West where people already coop bosses for fun already.

>>186720009
The 4 crowns probably represent fragments of light/fire/the first flame, since the game seems to imply that a king is a being of fire (see the Yin Yang idea, with female being dark and male being light). I would say the bearer of the curse is not so much achieving permanent humanity as he is achieving a Lord-like state outside of humanity and hollowing, since king=fire=Lords and queen=dark=man.

In order to create a new world at the end of DS2, the bearer of the curse must have knowledge of both dark and light, similar to the painter in DS3. He does this by destroying the queens and receiving the crowns of the kings. But he's not exempt from the cycle the way the Painter is, so he can only basically recreate the world that already exists.

Finally killed off a ganksquad

Host dced the moment he was alone, just how many times does it take to get softbanned?

The people making gank squads in DS3 are the people who invaded first time players in DS1 with endgame equipment

It passes the time until Code Vein is released and they go play that next. They're just in it to feel good about themselves by watching someone else lose. It's the same mentality of people who watch cringe compilations or fail videos, just to laugh.

To get the maximum damage you must have less than 60 maximum equip load.
The ring loses 1 point to the 50 points of bonus physical damage for every 0.5 units you go over 60 with your maximum equip load.

>>186721235
Yeah, the Black Phantom monsters are actually spawns added to the game world. Some areas like Anor Londo become really crazy with the BPs. Btw, if you're on the pc there's a mod that allows your world to be permagravylorded.

if you're gonna go to the wikis, this linear scaling doesn't apply to multi-stat casting tools (Izalith, crystal chime...)

Why does deep soul constantly just fly over the opponents head?

>>186721101
For example, for Soul Stream, each tick at 18 int (which is the max amount of int you can have for 100 spell buff on the sorcery staff, 19 int goes to 102 spell buff) does 26 damage on a hollow, and 113 damage with 99 int/200 spell buff. For a pure magic sword to replicate the damage, it needs 80 magic AR to do 26 damage on a hollow, and 160 magic AR to do 113 damage on a hollow. On the giant crystal lizard, Soul Stream will do (at 18 int/100 spell buff) 2 damage per tick, and 17 damage per tick at 99 int/200 spell buff. A sword at 80 magic AR will do 2 damage per R1 on the lizard and 17 damage per R1 with 160 magic AR.

>>186721229
Eventually, after the 4 types of Soul Arrow, I figured out that Spell Buff would just act as a multiplier and do nothing else special, so I skiped to 100 spell buff, 190 spell buff at 60 INT at 200 spell buff and it still holds the same result.

>>186721639
Ah I see, so percentages don't actually affect it? Thanks anon.

>>186721661
I almost managed to fuck up installing DSfix, I could make my toaster explode by trying to install a mod. I've heard of it though, I'm planning on doing a NG+ on my straight sword guy, so I'll check it out if it's easy to install. Does the perma gravelorded thing only apply to NG+ characters or NG too ?
captcha : public diversion

>>186721697
That's because the spell buff on those tools isn't accurate. It takes into account both INT and FTH for the spellbuff, but sometimes, INT only affects some spells and FTH only affects others. I'd need to do more tests for those catalysts, but for the regular catalysts it should work this way.

2H for the STR bonus, just switch to 1H to parry or when facing an enemy type that becomes much easier with a shield.

Not really. But Glencour, Steelheart Ellie, Felicia, Brad, Pilgrim Bellclair, Jester Thomas, Maldron, Aslatiel, and a whole bunch more all feel like actual characters in the world doing their own journeys.

I doa nd I have said it before as well.
The NPCs in 2 are great adn i think that's very good for the game in the long term for the same reason why bots in FPS arena shooters are good.

I get what you say. If the Dark souls universe didn't have the whole different worlds thing, they'd all be NPCs going on a personal adventure, you'd meet them in Majula and they'd be buying armor from Maughlin or getting their equipment upgraded by Leningrast.
I really like the idea that Glencour was a royal soldier who deserted (hence Masterless) and picked up various pieces of stuff along the way.

Yeah, Dark Souls 2 is in no way perfect.

>>186727590
Exactly! They feel like living entities all over the place doing the same kind of things you're doing. Facing the same struggles, and even picking up the same items and equipment (which is indicated well by them wearing shit from all over the game world and just using equipment you likely won't see until you reach a certain point) and they made that feeling of a living world even more prominent in SotFS by putting a big focus on the NPCs you can find. Some ate even found through weird and unique circumstances like lighting every sconce in the Gutter or playing entirely offline in Grave of Saints. I get why people might prefer the more "story" based character appearances in 1 and 3, but I definitely love the way it was handled in 2.

>>186728071
Patches won't sell you anything until you tell him where Greirat went and actually saves him if he has the onion armor

Also, when I go into NG+ maybe with the gravelord mod, should I stop at 40/40 str/dex for this sword ? I almost always use larger weapons with high AR, so I feel like I'm going to be having trouble dealing damage to bosses that have actual defenses like Manus or Kalameet. Is there any point to go past 40/40 in ds1 ?

For so long I've been avoiding summoning, specially NPCs.
After seeing many praise for SotFS NPC I decided to summon every NPC I can for fun. So when I got to Mytha the Baneful Queen, knowing Jester Thomas is capable of killing her alone, I let them fight to see how they fare.
Here's how it went:

Fuck them for making Lucatiel's quest that way. So shitty. The way they did Anri's co-op thing was much better.

Onislayer arrows don't knock back so avoid those.

>avoid summoning
Why? It's fun to do bosses with NPCs, sure avoid summoning players because they're mostly twinked out fags and such. It's not as if the bosses are that challenging to begin with, and in most cases summons make them even harder.

I didn't mind having to keep Lucatiel alive, or Benhart and such. Not really a big issue if you're not letting them tank everything and kind of made me care about them more. I don't really remember Anri's quest, what summoning thing did you need to do again?

>>186734732
poisefag gave up the fight and killed himself is my guess

I'd lie if I said I didn't. It's not completely wrong, but I restricted myself for too long.

>>186734135
Lucatiel's a bro and I don't mind summoning her. She's my favourite NPC from all 3 games.

>>186734740
Summoning can be fun and all, but you should probably fight a boss alone the first time. Better way to become good at fightning that boss in the future(and getting good at the game too)

>>186734740
You're the one summoned by Anri to fight Aldrich.
And I agree that some NPCs can make bosses more challenging, but they're more fun on your own to me, still. Only places I summon for are horsecock valley and cave of the gank, iron passage is so short I just speedrun my way through it, npcs make the boss a chore anyway
also freja because fuck spiders and I hate the boss and I don't want to go through the area again if I die and I don't want to die and holy shit fuck tseldora

Well that is basically all dark souls 2 npcs after one of the early patches. That was their solution to Lucatiel dying so often to the exil sentry.


>Lucatiel's a bro and I don't mind summoning her.

I just find it a bad way of making that kind of quest.

>If Dark Souls didn't do the whole alternate worlds thing we would see them at Maughlin buying armor etc.

I acknowledge the things DS2 did well but I think DS3 did the concept much better with the fellow unkindled who have their own duties. Anri and Horace for example are very good because you meet them a couple of times throughout the game and they put down their summon signs but they also visit the hub and are able to summon YOU into THEIR world which was brilliant when you helped them kill a boss or an NPC. It gave a much tangible sense of NPCs going out their own ways and fulfilling their own tasks within the game world. From a setting standpoint, assigning an NPC Unkindled to each of the Lords(except Lothric) made them have a bigger impact on the player than if you just encountered them as you went. For example Aldrich eating people and the trap god makes him kind of bad enough, but having Hawkwood and Anri fill in the backstory of Aldrich and especially Anri's story giving Aldrich encounter a personal touch was pretty amazing.

Some of the DS2 Scholar phantoms were coded with a small quirk that set them apart from the generic phantoms or they were scripted to do some interesting shit like Maldron or to gesture / throw carvings which made them stand out a bit better but as far as tangible NPCs go, DS2 was pretty bad. All NPCs that came to the hub never left and shit like Lucatiel's quest felt like it mattered for jack shit whether you got the "good end" or the bad one because the sequence was the exact same.

I think the millwood bow + dragonslayer arrows is the best combo since you only get 7 less damage compared to the millwood arrows, but with more range
You should only use the onislayer arrows with the Millwood GB weapon art for long range shots

>>186735431
aren't you pretty much the unkindled assigned to lothric though ? I thought you were with the npc that gives you the banner and stuff
