>Lucerne

I was just thinking earlier today, the lucerne's WA should be a quick move where you spin it around to use the hammer side, switching its damage from thrust to strike.

It'd make it a hell of a lot more versatile.
>>
>>187413837
I actually found the covenant on my way to Aldrich and equipped it, it made things worse. I was getting continuously summoned seconds after returning from the previous invasion, and every time I returned the game rolled back what little progress I managed to make between the invasions. It was hell and it made me go offline for the first time.
>>
>>187414445
You could, you know, just un-equip the covenant item...
>>
>>187414260
Isn't there some sort of "Invasion Meter" in DS3 which goes you cannot be invaded unless you summon/ember up in area once?
I swear I barely get invaded anywhere even in Invasion zones and have went through entire game only being invaded once or twice and even that's only at start.
>>
>>187414445

Wow you are a retard.
>>
>>187414532
No, if you're Embered you can be invaded, simple as that. It's just that invasions prioritize worlds with already-present phantoms, so all those shitters with babysitters and all those gank squads are giving you cover. Either that, or you're way outside the regular SL/WL range of most normal invaders.
>>
>>187414518
Then I was getting steamrolled by invaders
>>
>>187414741
Not really, I tend to be in average SL/Upgrade zone. I do guess It's because everyone always has a phantom by their side so solo players aren't targeted much.

>>187414773
Having the covenant item equipped does not shield you from getting invaded by other Aldrichs. It's not like the Forest Hunters or Ratbros, the game doesn't care what covenant you are since those can literally be turned on and off at will.

iS THE lothric castle bonfire with the lothric knight the best soul farming place?
>>
>>187414973
Fuck I'd love that. People give the chalices so much shit but it's pretty hard to deny that they extend the gameplay a lot. I love firing up a new root and delving that shit.
>>
>>187414973
DaS3 was a cash grab, plain and simple. They only put as much time into making it as was absolutely necessary, and none of that time was spent on innovation.
>>
>>187415070
I prefer Archdragon peak. There are four snakemen directly next to the bonfire, each of them drop ~3000 souls depending on how much youre tweaking soul gain, and they can drop chunks. A circuit of killing them takes between ten and thirty seconds and easily nets 10K souls. Technically fewer souls than killing the Lothric Knights, but it takes less time and theyre a lot less dangerous.

>>187414951

You should be fine with being under 70% equip load, fat rolling is one of the worst things you can do in DaS3 for PvP. Use havel's ring and ring of favor, look up poise breakbreakpoints for how much you need (pic related is outdated, but that mostly just means they made the poise health of ultras and halberds better so the numbers needed are lower than shown here)

No surprise most people stopped coming here with that attitude.

i'm on my first playthrough of dark souls 3 and orbeck disappeared

i knew about the fact that he disappeared if you didn't give him a scroll before beating abyss watchers/beat 4 bosses in a row after meeting him without giving him one, but i did give him a scroll

any post i saw from google beforehand acts like you only need to give him one scroll before he disappears to ensure that he stays there permanently, though

so is it actually that you need to give him a scroll between every 4 bosses regardless of whether you've given him one already, or did my game glitch or something?

i'm pretty pissed but i want to know if it was my fault or not

What did you get from him already?

In my opinion you don't ever need Soul Spear or CSP. Great Heavy Soul Arrow does almost as much damage for less than half the fp, with the only hitch being longer cast time. Don't forget there are also Soul transposition spells. Crystal Dragon Breath and Old Moonlight are both great.

Sir Lance Alot reporting.
All bosses from DLC co-optional areas are dead.
Now only the three boss fights from Throne of Want are left, and my next objective is to defeat them all in one go. After that, my quest will finally be over.

Bosses from DLC optional areas were a wild ride, each fight completely different in difficulty.
Gank squad wasn't hard, only had to avoid getting stunlock and slowly poke them to death.
Blue Smelter Demon was very easy, although I had to use lifegems to negate it's damage over time.
Sir Alonne was powerless agaisnt a greatshield. I expected him to have an unblocable attack, but looks like he doesn't have one.

Lud and Zallen were a nightmare.
Aava was difficult enough because it's attack deal high poise damage, draining most of my stamina when blocking, and it also has an unblockable grab attack, that you can roll to avoid but still get hurt if you don't have enough iframes. Now imagine having to fight two at the same time.
I would have not been able to kill them without leveling Agility if it wasn't for some shenanigans I came up with.

i've just been playing with great heavy soul spear and great magic weapon pretty much exclusively occasionally i fuck around with soul greatsword but i wanted to try out the faster one

i didn't know about the damage/fp thing though that makes me feel a little better

but i'm still pissed because ghsa is boring as fuck and crystal soul spear is satisfying to hit shit with (at least it was in ds2) and on an autistic RP level i just wanted my sorcerer to have the "best" sorcery projectiles and there's also crystal soulmass too, whatever i guess

>>187419270
i missed a lot of items i guess, i felt like i did a fair amount of exploring and i have a fuckload of pyromancy tomes but after the first scroll i gave to orbeck i didn't find any others, and nah i don't have sage golden or logan's
>>
>>187418991
you need 20 str/10 dex to one hand the hammer, and 10 str/10 dex to two hand, so warrior (good str to start with) or knight (good all around stats) would be good picks

i'm not certain what the caps are in dark souls 2 but i think you want to stop at 40 strength just like in dark souls 1, the thing hits really hard at base stats unupgraded so you can't fuck up too hard here

also for fashion the bandit armor might look good for a smith cosplay, bear chest + king's legs would also work well

i would have made an effort to find some scrolls if i had known he'd disappear anyways but i thought i didn't need to worry about it until i got to the grand archives for crystal scroll after giving him one

do you seriously need to give him a scroll between every 4 bosses? seems like if that's even possible it would take actual planning and fuck over a LOT of people not paying attention to wikis and shit

or does not talking to him for a while have an affect on it too? i used to talk to him pretty often (not gonna lie he was probably my favorite NPC so far) even though i didn't give him scrolls or buy shit from him, but once i saw that you need to get to grand archives to get crystal soul spear i left him alone for a while and just focused on powering through the game

It literally has the lowest base Int in the game, min-maxing wise that's stupidly good. It also has the lowest total between Att, Int and Fai (11 points total), the next-closest is Knight (13 total), which is optimal for melee builds.
>>
>>187420789
No, you just need to give him at least a single scroll either before (1) beating four area bosses, or (2) beating Abyss Watchers, though I think this second one was patched out. Just get him to acknowledge you giving him a single scroll, and he'll stay at Firelink all game until the end of his questline.

Really the only build where I'd pick knight over bandit is if you want to use robflynn and third dragon, since bandit has 11 vit.
Or maybe idk, losing a bit of AR is worth and maybe bandit is just plain better, but what about a quality that also allows the use of IKUGS (why the fuck did they give it 8 int req and E scaling?)

The insolent set is deus vult as all hell, but good luck farming it. Otherwise, the Syan set is much easier to farm, and makes for a really good "golden knight" thing, and if you don't like wearing full sets, you can mix it with the ruin set, velstadt's set, maybe the mastodon set (don't recommend the rusted one), and if you really lack a piece and can't get it, the rusted ironclad set can work while you get something else.

Royal soldier set is pretty damn good, I love this thing, you can buy it from the armor seller after spending a few souls with him. The silver eagle shield he sells goes really well with it, and it's an okay shield at 90% block that's not too heavy. Get whatever weapon you want with it, Mace from Leningrast or the Morningstar hidden in Majula if you want a blunt weapon.

>>187428809
Shit, I had totally forgotten about Targray's set. You need to kill him to get it though, good luck doing the covenant things. The Heide Knight set is absolutely paladin-esque as well, but they're pretty tough to take on early on, and the drop rates are rather low.

He has his good days and bad days. On some days you can tell that he's really stressed out and just ready blow up at anyone who annoys him first even for a tiny bit. Definitely do not watch him do Dark Souls 3 ever because that game gets him salty as fuck.

He is usually cool when I watch but sometimes it feels like he is tired of being cucked irl and when he gets to the stream where he gets to be "the big man" he takes it out on others.

Twitch culture of instant asspats by his sycophants who denounce all critics as "haters" is what converts a lot of good streamers to being assholes who disregard all criticism and enables those who already were total faggots.

Lobosjr is mostly cool though.

This is why blues are regarded as cuckolds

Even the extremely rare blue who is actually a good player is still subservient and completely reliant on the host, and if he's actually wearing way of blue there's a pretty high chance that he can't play the game for peanuts and will die.
>>
>>187433452
You're a little underlevelled for Nameless King desu, but it should be possible.

You should have a +10 weapon, to start with. Secondly, his delayed attacks are fucking you up but you seem to just be smashing your face into the boss over and over and expecting it to work eventually. Don't do that. Consider what you are doing wrong and work to fix it. Don't roll as soon as you see him move, roll when the attack actually comes.

Demon's Greataxe is kind of a cool weapon but wouldn't help in this scenario. Same with Fists.
Moonlight Greatsword is int build specific and White Dragon Breath is garbage.
Farron Memesword and Wolf Knight Sword have too high reqs for you to use, as does Yhorme's Greatshield/Machete.
Both Darkmoon Longbow and Lifehunt Scythe are awful.

Your +10 Chaos Corvian Scythe was probably actually your best bet, but you should be able to get another slab at that point in the game, so upgrade your dark lothric sword to +10.

the first half of the game is very open; there is no right or wrong way to go. it depends if you want certain items from certain areas first and what not. you can go and do any of the other 3 great souls if you want to. you can never purchase twinkling, but you do get a shit ton later on so don't worry.

You can later get special weapons or spells with the boss souls.

I think I'm in DS1's endgame, with only Seath and the DLC to crank through before filling the Lordvessel.

A Silver Knight Spear +5 has carried me through most of the game and seems to be stronger than most things I've picked up since. Are there any more powerful weapons I should keep my eye out for or am I pretty much set?

Silver Knight Spear is probably the best spear you could have, except maybe Ornstein's, but it requires a bunch of faith to be effective. Silver Knight and Black Knight weapons are really really good for pve, especially the latter.

>>187440292
soul memory isn't that bad when you realize that it's basically tied to your level up costs. Once you reach 500k or above basically the only way you can end up above/below is if you lose a HUGE amount by refusing to level up, or spend it all on titanite chunks. Agape ring is pretty good.

the only other legitimate problem is what happens if you get invaded by a hacker who dies, and they drop you like 4m souls, fucking up your save file to making you unable to matchmake. But if that happens, you get 4m souls so you dont' really ever need souls again.

Also since Ring of Life Protection can be repaired in DS2, there's no real excuse to ever lose more than 10k souls at a time, which doesn't affect matchmaking.

Almost any weapon except obvious silly things (like broken ss) or whip is good enough to get you through the whole game. If you like spears, you have one of the best, the other being demon's spear. What I would recommend is since you're in full attire, get a silver knigga shield instead of the ass crest that not only doesn't match the rest but also gives you an ugly aura
also, that's not the way to fight seath

>>187441221
Basically, if you have the master key than most of the entire game is open to you without killing bosses.

Here's a few items you need:
>Oolacile Ivory Catalyst and dusk crown: Beat the hydra in darkroot basin and summon dusk. The catalyst has no scaling, so you get really good spell damage. Dusk crown doubles sorcery damage also. With these two, basic soul arrows can kill most pre-O&S bosses within a few hits. This catalyst will be the best until you are above 30 intelligence.
>Tin Banishment Catalyst: Easy to get at the beginning of the game by just running straight to blighttown through new londo. It is a catalyst that also works as a spear, and since it has no upgrade levels, does about the same damage as a +5 spear (and scales with dex) without any cost of titanite. Easily the best weapon in the game until you access andre of astora
>Enchanted Ember is in darkroot basin also, and if you give it to rickert, you can upgrade your weapons to +4 enchanted (equivalent of +14) without having to kill any bosses either. Green titanite can be farmed from blighttown's leeches, blue chunks can be farmed from the crystal golems in darkoot basin.
>Griggs of Vinheim. He sells the majority of the early game magic shit, including the extremely powerful Magic Weapon spell, which when paired with the oolacile catalyst, gives you an extra ~150 magic damage on any weapon. To get to him, you need to buy the residence key from the undead merchant, then go to lower undead burg. You can reach him without fighting any bosses either, if you take the backward route to the parish (through darkroot basin).
>Power within: Another extremely useful spell to pick up in blighttown while you're there. Once you have it, there's no reason to really go anywhere else so you can skip the depths, capra, and blighttown otherwise.

Ye, I meant Señor.
Before I played Ds3 I only heard of the name Friede an that she's a cool bossfight. But when I played it I also got to know that there is Elfriede and the El sounded like spanish to me, which I thought was funny. I just looked it up and it's actually "el señior" and not "señor el..".
Maybe my character will just be a girl (male), as I have almost no experience with female sliders. Also is there a fitting word in spanish for females instead of señor? Because both hombre and señor mean man and I don't want to use the wrong onw if I'd choose the female version.

Theoretical max stamina regen is 109/sec.

You don't even really have to sacrifice that much to get it, desu. The only real issue is that Power Within is 30 of that, and it damages you pretty significantly. Then again, it gives you +12% damage, as well, so it's probably worth it if you're going that route.

Yep, Im never going to beat Nameless King. I leveled up to Level 94 so I could use my +10 Chaos Corvian Great Scythe and now I cant even get past his first phase. I dont care if Im a shitter. Go ahead and tell me he is as easy as the Shadows of Yharnam and the One Reborn. I tried giving this game a chance but I just cant get good at it. The camera shenanigans in Phase 1 is just too much. I spent two hours on Orphan, one on Laurence and ten on Ludwig. all solo under 90 BL. I still cant beat any of these tough Dark Souls 3 bosses. Jesus fuck Im so pissed. At least I could find a way to adjust to Hino Enma. These late game Dark Souls 3 bosses are ridiculous

Only tip I could give you now is to look up his resistances and stuff like that, try go max out your estus and use yellow bug pellets in the 2nd phase. Also wear the anti thunder ring that you find in the region. DaS 3 bosses really went a bit far with the delayed roll catch attack combos. So always roll late. When I had troubles with him there were some attacks I didn't even try to dodge and just blocked them, but don't turtle in DaS3.

What is your VIT? Get the DragonSlayer shield and just turtle around Nameless, it has 91% Lightning DMG reduction.
If you can get your hands on Havel +3 and Lautrec's ring +3, do it.
Nameless must be a nightmare with your build because phase 1 and phase 2 never stop moving around. There's always Lady Rosaria if you're having too much trouble, just get a Pale Tongue and change your stats around. If it's not working then there's no point in doing the same thing.

There's nothing that 100% guarantees all this in canon, but Boletaria has 3 legendary warriors according to Ostrava: Metas, the Knight of the Lance; Alfred, the Knight of the Tower; and Long Bow Oolan. 1-4 has 3 black phantoms thought to be these warriors because of their equipment. Alfred is obviously the Tower Knight, and Metas is thought to be the Penetrator since his BP uses the penetrating sword. That leaves only Oolan unaccounted for. Since Ostrava describes Oolan as having "fearsome legions" and Phalanx is the only boss in Boletaria that does not obviously match any of the heroes, you can fill in the gaps and assume Oolan became Phalanx, while the legions became the hoplites that guard it.

I've been dicking around with the Spears of the Church covenant for a few hours, and I've found that, generally speaking, people fighting the boss on their own are pretty cool dudes, and people with as much backup as they can get are enormous cocks.

What's interesting is that every graduation between that - one helper, two helper, three - scales up in cuntishness in a linear fashion. I rather expected to encounter more people who were just summoning help to get through the boss, but all the enemies I've encountered with backup tend to rush in, dogpile, taunt if they manage to kill you etc.

Strange, that.

If you somehow manage to beat the wyvern on a blind first playthrough before you even reach the point where you can upgrade weapons while also cutting its tail in the process: mad props, you get a decent weapon that'll last for like 2 more hour of play before becoming obsolete.

First playthrough, following a guide and cheese with arrows: literally uninstall, scrub.

If you've played enough, you should already know it's a shit weapon and not bother with it.

This I can agree with. I got a lucky early Blcok Knight Halberd drop on my first play through and dumped stats until I could wield it.

If you have a specific build you want to try I can also recommend great early weapons/spells for it if you want.

It's been discussed a bit in previous threads, but ds2's design philosophy is very different. You've got a wide choices of paths to take, and you're actually supposed to adapt to where you're going. Take your time, analyze your surroundings, decide of your path. Read boss patterns before trying to beat them, ds2 bosses are not difficult for the most part. You'll want to change weapons and strategies on a rather regular basis.
Level adaptabilty so you have at least 96 agility (a substat), it affects your rolling iframes.
Avoid Greataxes/Greathammers, they have really fucking weird tracking issues. Regular greatswords and large lances are fine.

Also, ds2 tends to be a "hate it first time, love it second" thing, since areas are much more enjoyable once you know them.
If you're just looking for an action intuition-based hack'n'slashy game, you're not going to like it.

You're in great luck then because Dark Souls 2 has some of the best fast Strength weapons in the series. Get access to the Blacksmith in Majula right away and you can buy the Estoc from him, which unlike in 1 and 3 is primarily a STR scaling Rapier. There are other faster variations of traditional Dex weapon classes that scale with STR and are great like the Red Rust Scimitar (a STR scaling Curved Sword) and Gargoyle Bident (boss weapon STR scaling Spear). And you have traditional ultras and greatswords that have many STR options.
>>
>>187456084

Regular shields are incredibly useless and Greatshields are of moderate use. Be scroogish with your titanite shards, they are in limited supply for an annoyingly long time. Weapon AR is a bit different, lots of things have stupidly high stat scaling and ludicrously high damage increase from upgrades.

It's actually kinda annoying, huge weapon variety, perilously scarce upgrade resources.

Greatshields can donk just about anything in the whole game. You can stand in front of Velstadt or Alonne with a greatshield and they won't be able to do shit to you.

First merchant in town sells a 90% mid shield and a 95% greatshield. You'll get a 100% block shield after your second/third boss, but it's rather heavy.

it's not cheap because it's actually kinda shit. The only niche it fills is being the most powerful thing between the red drake and the like 5 minute walk to Andre. Once you reach andre though, literally every weapon in the game is better through just regular titanite.

Other than that, it's a crutch for players that don't know how to upgrade their equipment or do scaling.

Play blind, or as blind as you can. DS can be cryptic and tough, but the message system exists for a reason, and figuring things out in the games language is rewarding as fuck. Make sure to upgrade your gear, and remember that the basic shortsword is just as good as the "fuckdemon dragonblade of murderkill" or whatever at max upgrade, so use what you like or what you think is cool, not what sounds the most OP. Be observant and think outside the box, there's usually a way to do something even if it looks too hard or inconvenient. Also get used to memorizing patterns of movement and attacks, for both bosses and regular enemies.

I didn't enjoy any of this game. Across all attempts made on both PS3 and PC I've probably wasted ~70 hours that I wish I had spent doing almost anything else.

On the upside, I now appreciate the other four games infinitely more having seen the shitshow they could have been. DS1 was a titanic step-down from DeS, and DS2 & DS3 are fucking masterpieces of fun gameplay compared to it.

Seems that weekends are better for this.

Once again I will write something about a weapon that's uncommon due to one reason or another and try to make it sound decent (or not)

Dragon Tooth

-GH (2h grants good HA, poise damage; 1h for range)
-Muh 10% fire/magic absorption
-Muh 300+ durability
-Perseverance good for ganks spank

It's shit. No, really, it's just a shittier greatmace reskinned that's inferior in almost every way.

Damage wise, the dragon tooth will always have less AR, despite requiring 40 str (as opposed to 32). They have identical moveset and WA, and even the almost the same length - But the dragon tooth is 3 units heavier at 21.0.

One may consider the damage absorption to be a plus, but 10% doesn't compensate enough for increased weight and requirement. There might be an argument in pairing the tooth with armours that have less magic or fire defence, but that's so situational that it's hardly a advantage.

6/10 it's ok since it's a great hammer, but since it's a great hammer it's quite inferior

Dark Sword has the advantage in range being tied for third longest straight sword, Broadsword is one of the shorter straight swords but has an advantage in AR. Both also have unique R2s. Dark Sword is the only Straight Sword with Stomp as a WA while Broadsword has the standard Stance. I'd recommend trying both out and upgrading which you prefer.

2 hours in menus for every 15 minutes of combat, but you'll like it because the customization is so great

Really neat immersive world design with NPCs that send you mail, challenge you to arena fights, factions you can win favor with by helping them out, etc.

Practicing and creating your own control scheme because the default ones are awful

No leveling up or making the game easier, you have to actually learn the stats and practice to get stronger.

Every single bullet you fire matters because it costs you money or energy. Every single hit you take matters because it costs you repair costs.

Every mission matters because you can't re-do them if you die, and you'll go into debt if you fail too many.

Every single weapon, item, armor piece, generator, radiator, etc. is viable and useful because there are 10 different tradeoffs for every single stat

70+ unique NPCs to fight and a fuckton of missions

No tutorial. Game starts immediately in combat.

Longsword fits on more builds better especially dark and has the thrust R2s which are the best in the class. It's also a good balance in range between Broadsword and Dark. Broadsword is hampered by being one of the shortest straight sword which hurts a lot more in PvP. If you are building just for PvE though either will suit your needs perfectly.

I'll do 1 for each of these.

Smough's Hammer

-Longest GH next to Ledo
-GH moveset (HA, Poise dmg etc)
-2nd highest damage next to Ledos
-Perseverance good for gank spank

This is another weapon that people don't often use despite of it's sought-after advantages. While having one of the better AR, Smough's does not require a ridiculous amount of requirement to be used (45str vs 60), and has 2 unique R2's, which I will delve into later. Due to its size, Smough's is also one of the longest GH, though at time's it becomes a problem.

Smough's hammer is too damn god. It's comical size blocks up almost the entire top part of the player's camera, meaning you lose about 30% of your field of vision that happens to be where the camera locks onto an enemy with.

Players will be forced to either unlock or press block repeatedly to get a glimpse of the front, and to those who's never used Smough's, nevermind a GH, it's a serious handicap.

Smough's have 2 unique R2's - a wide swing for 1h and a vertical slam for 2h. Both have their uses that actually make this hammer quite good for some surprises.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmOUxV2EV5Y

In this video you could see the 1h R2 has an incredible recovery speed - you can cancel the animation much earlier than the animation appears to, and you can either use this to bait a parry or an R1. The 2h R2 takes a big leap forward and has a big hit box, but aiming it could be tricky (but required, most of the time)

I like the weapon, but it's weight and obtrusive size is doubtlessly why it's hardly seen. Still, cant pass up on unique R2's that arent useless.

First two are weird because it has a "turn the lights on/off to see ghosts" and a 24h day/night cycle. But they use the awkward King's Field mechanics of this first person slow walking. Echo Night Beyond is more of a spiritual successor than a pure sequel, and a lot more mechanically sound.

>>187463290
>Longest GH next to Ledo

I hate to be that guy again but you're wrong there, Ledo's and Smough's have the same range and they're mid-tier as far as GH range goes.

>16 SP - Pickaxe 2H R1
>18 SP - Great Wooden Hammer 2H R1
>18.5 SP - Old King's GH 2H R1
>19.5 SP - Ledo's GH / Morne's GH / Smough's GH / Large Club 2H R1
>20.5 SP - Great Club / Quakestone / Great Mace / Spiked Mace 2H R1
>21.5 SP - Vordt's GH / Gargoyle Flame Hammer / Dragon Tooth 2H R1

A positive of Smough's you didn't include though is that like Ledo's and Morne's it's in a special tier of Great Hammers with higher poise health than the rest of the class, with 32.9 poise health compared to the standard 30.8 Great Hammer poise health. That means you need only 15.10 poise to tank Curved Greatswords, Ultra Greatswords, Greataxes, and 24.80 to poise through other Great Hammers.
>>
>>187462994
>>187463554
Also to be more detailed: there's no heart rate monitor in Echo Night 1 or 2, the lights on/off mechanic is the main gimmick, and the ghosts aren't really a threat, it's the puzzles and trying to get specific NPC encounters for story reasons that adds challenge.

However what they really do well are the NPC questlines with the ghosts. It's less of a horror game, and more like a supernatural exploration/puzzle game. If that appeals, go for it, but it's not very scary.

Black knight greatsword

-One the ultras with the highest AR if properly built for
-Increased poise damage like all BK weapons
-Unique R2's on both moveset

This is actually not that uncommon of a weapon, and certainly with good reason besides the (now fixed) R1 R2 combo.

With 40/40 the BKGS has 640 AR two handed, making it the UGS with the highest pure physical AR.It' has the vertical attack moveset, meaning it has more distance at the cost of more limited arc than the sweep UGS variant. Still, the AR portion only applies if the player has investment into both str and dex, so be mindful of that.

The R2's are unique, and both have deceivingly long range, so make use of them.

It's pretty good for a quality build, but for a pure str or pure dex build this might not be too useful in terms of AR, since heavy investment is required for this to beat say, the heavy Greatsword UGS or the sharp Astora GS

No rating cuz it's actually meta now that I think about it.

Rotten Ghru Dagger

-Innate poison perfect for infusion
-Quick step + dagger moveset

This thing is a bitch. It's perfect for an invasion due to it's high poison potential to inflict continuous damage. With the poison infusion and decent luck investment you should not be surprised to see bleed affliction after 4 his.

Having quickstep makes it so that you can dance around your foes, though an experiences player might not be tricked too easily.

As a dagger, it's quite the piece of shit. The damage is actually ok for with a sharp infusion, but using this dagger for it's ar is questionable to say the least. It's also the only dagger that has no critical modifier whatsoever, so please do not use this to fish for backstab or riposte specifically.

Just remember anyone who's competent enough will probably have stashed up on mosses already. Have a backup ready.

Oh yeah, this along with all the ghru weapons are a pain in the ass to find. Might want to have some luck to go with that :^)))))

Rotten Ghru Curved Sword

-Innate poison fit for infusion
-Scimitar moveset (fast R1, WA has combo)
-Decent weight/AR ratio

As for all ghru weapons, you will have a grand fucking time finding it. Thankfully, they're all worth the grind.

at 45 dex, a sharp RGCS will have 384 damage, compared to the scimitar's 374. As for all scimitar class weapons, the WA can combo into another R1, which is especially ideal for this weapon since it has innate bleed. With poison infusion, it will probably inflict the ailment in 1 or 2 combo.

If I recall correctly, this weapon gains scaling for both dex and str when hollowed, though it doesn't really matter since the AR is still lower than with sharp.

It's major downside is it's short length. It's still not as short as the PTGS but you will need to space well. Interestingly, it has reduced guard damage even when compared to the scimitar. You could still poison a turtle, i presume, esp if you infuse it with poison. I'd probably sharp or hollow it though and keep the dagger (if you were lucky enough to get it as well) for poisoning.

8/10 I wanted warped sword not AIDS sword.

I didn't list the Ultra Hammer (as i just named them arbitrarily) advantage since it's too technical. Even I dont fully comprehend how having 2 extra poise would benefit a player. Also, I could have list out the blocking with those hammers (60~75%? @ 45~50 stability is no joke) is viable if you have the stamina for it.

I felt like I've practically done this once since I've posted so many times about this puppy, but here goes.

-Decent weight/damage ratio
-Club moveset (extremely quick + poise. Increased poise damage?)
-WC buff = club R2
-Unique R2
-innate bleed
-Unique combo 2h R1+WCR2

People always shill for the mace if you want a hammer, and as a result you dont see clubs being used at all, despite them being a more offensive choice.

Club movesets are fast (since that one patch from a year ago) and have short recovery. While the AR isn't as high as the mace, it's less obvious and thus easier to land. Though since it's a simply vertical attack, it's hard to manage multiple enemies.

At 50 str the reinforced club will have 418 AR 1h, which is no joke considering the weight (4 units). I liken it to a pocket cannon to fight those pesky daggers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy7tWYB2G3s

The combo after WC is 2h R1+R2. It's guaranteed and youre granted minor poise (i think?) during it. It's available to only the ReClub. Theoretically you can bleed infuse this, but I'd rather just kill him outright instead of bleed. Leave that to the knives.

Clubs do not handle ganks well due to limited attack range, but I think it is still useful to catch a overextending phantom with (as a sidearm, of course, next to your big ol dildo of whatever kind)

9/10 easily for the unique combo and fast attack speed

In all my experience of "pvp" in dark souls 3 I did not face any good dagger builds, they were all too weak and easily countered by parrying.
I run a dagger on my "main" invading character for ripostes and vs some 2handed weapons, it's pretty good at these situations.

Brigand Twin Daggers

-Quick step
-Good for inflicting ailments
-Good DPS potential

Admittedly these aren't my favourite daggers and I haven't use them as much as I should. At 45 dex sharp it has 255 AR, which is not the best for daggers (regular dagger has 274 at this stat, sharped), but considering its a paired weapon that's not really that bad. One might think it would be good for poison or bleed infusion, but IMO having no innate ailment means you should probably stick with bandits for bleed and ghru for poison. Nothing is stopping you from using resins though, and I think if one want to capitalise on the high DPS potential this should be the go-to.

It's biggest flaw is the lack of 2h moveset which characterises the quickstep-r1 roll-catch. Having no thrust attack (except for rolling) on the WA reduces your range, and if you use the L1 speed (i recommend using this as mixup for parry punish).

It's backstab modifier is pretty good at 125 (same as MB but lower than dagger), but it's not ideal for a dedicated backstab/riposte (it's still better than anything that has less than 450 ar, of course)

6/10 no thrust but hole

Greatsword of Judgement

-GS moveset (wide range for 1h, poise 2h)
-Unique WA stance allowing for projectile or HA thrust
-When buffed has higher AR than moonlight GS

I consider this weapon to be on the same tier as moonlight GS, actually, save for a few things.

I will start with its biggest flaw: length. If range guy is somewhere, please confirm for me. The GSoJ should be similar in length as the bastard sword, if not slightly longer. While GS is good for trading, for a mage character this could be a problem.

GSoJ has an ar of 503 with 18/18/50int. MLGS will have 555 at this level. At 18/18/30 2h GSoJ 500, MLG 508. When buffed, it should add another 80(?) or so flat. A player could choose to have lower int and rely on the buff for extra damage, while having the other points into other stats like vigor of vitality for better trading

WA is unique: one is a thrust that grants 50% damage reduction and poise, while the R2 is a projectle. Both buffs the weapon and would be devastating if the enemy gets hit by the blade+buff and/or projectle. Note that all of the attacks can be parried, though unsure if parrier immune from projectile.

If you have above a 45 int, the MLGS would be better AR wise, though if you have, say, 30, GSoJ would probably give you better trading ability since you're probably going to be able to wear heavier armour.

7/10 better for hybrid

it's classified as a dagger but when you use it in pvp it's more like a straightsword, since murkey can be used as a shield counter or aggressive close range pyro weapon, and greatknife is similar.

Daggers are usually passive spam weapons. The reach and stamina consumption of the longer daggers makes them more of an active r1 poke /roll catch weapon, like straight swords
>>
>>187472280
Or what if

What if straight swords are just longer daggers
>>
>>187470774

They both basically committed genocide, so they ended up eating the souls of their victims. Of note is that none of their transposed weapons/spells have anything to do with the dragon itself, having more to do with things in their environment. Yorgh's Spear was stabbed into Sinh's chest, Old Moonlight is said to be a recreation of something Midir witnessed, and the Frayed Blade is just described as 'symbolizing' Midir. Midir's soul is also shown as a thick clump of humanity.

Besides, souls in the Dark Souls universe were just found lying on the floor, basically. There's no reason a dragon couldn't do the same thing.
Alternatively: It's because FromSoftware doesn't give a shit about consistent lore.
>>
>>187470841
>subpar damage

While it isn't the best since it's split, the AR fits in with a dagger. If you're doing 100~200 its normal. It's good for mix up since you have 4 options for attacks: R1, R2 WA R1 or WA R2. The WA is good for roll catch too, and you have access to the dagger's pokey poke moves. I say give it another try if your only gripe (even the fp one is kinda of meh issue since you can simple a caestus or something) is the AR.

I've never used the RKSS.

I have used the RKS a lot. It's actually a pretty sweet weapon. It's got modest range, good damage, it's WA buffs it, gives you a LOT of HA, and it's weapon art is a true combo up to 2 out of the 3 hits it is capable of doing.

However it does have one fatal flaw. It's completely parryable (aside from the stuff that can't be parried like jump attacks). Also the WA is super fucking easy to parry like say AGS's or Gundyr's.

Not that guy but.

>Ringed Knight Straight Sword

Second longest straight sword tied with Lothric's Holy Sword, good AR on Quality, best basic Straight Sword moveset with R2 pokes, great Weapon Art for fast trades against other weapons with good HA modifier. Clearly great.

>Ringed Knight Spear

One of the the best spears even though it's a pike. Long range and Partizan R2s that are more useful because of its range already make it great. The lower on average AR is compensate for when it's in buff form from the WA which gives it extra fire damage. The WA itself is good for trading and rollcatching but can be parried relatively easily, but if you hit any part of it it combos into a follow-up. The buff form also increases the range of the R2s and running attacks giving it stupidly good range on both that make this a master spacing weapon. Overall favorite spear in the series, this has been the most looked over Ringed Knight weapon to its discredit.

>Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords

Meme weapon. Basic R1s are low damage for ultra attacks but it has rolling poke UGS R1s so that's decent. The L1s are meh now, they were so popular on release so anyone who is competent knows how to deal with them. The first L1 can be perseverance traded on reaction or a player that knows its range can stay just out of the end of the hitbox and punish the end of the attack guaranteed for a combo. The tracking and manual aiming of this is also bad after nerfs. Follow up L1s if you don't land the first attack are almost a guaranteed backstep punish. The WA used to be the best thing about this weapon competitively as it could be freeaimed perfectly to rollcatch and do the R1/R2 followup for great damage. Now you can only slightly angle the attack from where your character is looking which is terrible, the WA is now only really good for hyperarmor trades against people who don't just roll away from it.

What is the absolute best invasion weapons?

I'm sick of attempting to get something out of my Arstor's Spear, Storyteller's Staff and Ghru Dagger. It shits on scrubs, but any decent player will already have moss hotbarred or equipped. After about fifty hours with these, my win rate in invasions is about 60/40. I seem to have trouble with even the slightest lag. Heavy weapon users just outspace me or outpoise me, making me play extremely passively, which is the exact opposite you want when you're poisoning people to put on the pressure.
I fucking love these weapons, but they're just not that good, which is a shame because I fucking LOVE SPEARS and poison. Storyteller's Staff is probably the best out of all of them since the poison is almost instant, but again, it's only good for scrubs. Arstor's Spear is only just longer than Follower Javelin, has shitty scaling and average damage. Ghru Dagger is kinda good, but it's a dagger, which will honestly lead to being parried against any competent player.

Yes, they originaly nerfed the damage and stamina consumption of the L1s, then they reverted that change partially while fucking over the tracking and manual aiming of followup L1s and the WA.

I mean, the Great Hollow leads to Ash Lake, an area older than the Age of Fire.

That being the case, the dumbasses making up that particular collection of corpses could stretch back further than recorded history.

Imagine, over the centuries: every so often, an idiot wanders in like you did, goes "Yooo, this place is rad! I wonder what's down there? OH SHIT, I TRIPPE-*" and falls to their death. Then, a little while later, it happens again. Rinse and repeat all the way back through the Age of Fire, maybe even before.

And now you have become a part of this rich tapestry of dumbasses being dumbasses.

Not much to say about the SS. It's just another SS with a decent WA that has poise. That alone makes it somewhat better at handling gank, though no SS is bad for that reason. Keep in mind all of its attacks can be parried.

For weapons in an invasion you want something that is allows you to multi-task. What this typically means is either being able to handle multiple enemies and/or have good HA.

I consider myself fairly good as an invader, so it might be easier if you have a list of weapons and i can comment on each of them.

Generally, I go for SS, CS, GS, CGS, club/mace, GH.

I always assumed that the Firekeeper's crown was the crown of the Bearer of the Curse.

The intro cutscene focuses heavily on her crown, the player can never claim it for themselves, and there's a swirling circular darkness inside it which is near-identical to the black whirlpool in DS2's intro cinematic.

She doesn't seem to give a shit about dying, either, since she asks you to kill her out of convenience at one point. That does smack of how dying in DS2 feels after getting the crowns.

Rushing through AoA to get onyx blade is a common strategy, but you could just do a raw weapon with carthus flame arc. There's also the Deep Battle Axe from the first mimic drop. Pyromancy is good enough on its own for clearing out enemies that you shouldn't ever be at a lack of offensive abilities, it's the only spell class that can really carry its own through pve, especially since you get both gnaw and pestilent mercury to handle any bosses that can't be beaten with pure fire.

Another thing you can do is be pure int or pure fth and use blessed/crystal infusion until you hit 40 in one stat, which should be about the same time you get the profaned coal, then infuse dark or chaos and start leveling the other stat.

>>
>>187478445
During an invasion you need as many options as possible, so that is correct. For example, spear on their own is terrible for invasion due to narrow range of attack, but if you use it as a secondary or in the offhand it suddenly became a good spacing/chasing tool.

At your level also consider GSoJ if you have decent dex/str as MLGS doesn't really shine until you hit 40 int (even at this stat GSoJ has higher AR when its buffed)

>powerful for invasion
You arent and will never be. The game is rigged in favour for the host (and his phantoms, most likely). You have to use your wits and guts and thats where the fun is.

>>187478495
>how to build for it
You could 40/40, but I personally wouldnt b/c then you have to sacrifice on vit and vig (I am assuming you're stopping at either 100 or 120). At 40 str 15 dex (min) you have 546 ar; at 40str 40 dex you have 596; at 50str 18 dex you have 563.

My str character has 50str and 18dex (with ring), so that's why I used the number.

I have seen some RKPG users who somehow lasted through my mace while I am trading, so it's possible to due but I still don't consider them as too big of a threat, since I could just outspace instead of Persevere.

Bottom line is use them first before you want to build for them.

They re-apply soapstone if PC, since there's a lot of connection issues, so everybody using DCSM (Wulf's connection tool), they need to re-apply the Soapstone everytime they change their connection.

Dark Souls - Silver Knight Straightsword. (IE, appearing in DS3 but not available for player use because fuck you and your varying movesets, you only get the longsword, the darksword, or the broadsword, motherfucker)

Dark Souls 2 - Loyce Greatsword (again, doesn't appear in DS3 because fuck you and your variable movesets. claymore, hollowslayer, or bastard sword? you only get one, shitlord)

I've used them before but just on a quality character who uses a bunch of different stuff. I'm asking for build advice here because I trust the opinions of the people here combined with anonymous peer review.

For instance I know I'll need a weapon to deal with quicksteppers, my first choice is ceastus. But what about the rest? Do I go high poise? Do I use havel's to optimize poise? Do I forget armor outside of fashion and instead of 40/40 go 40/18 and pump something like Faith for useful miracles?

>>187479406
You need some vit for wearing armor with poise without crippling your weight. You don't see gains in poise in DS2 until you're at >100. The Knight Set grants pretty good poise for the weight, and goes great with your helmet. You could stop at 13 vit which is ideal for flynn's ring, but since you won't get that ring for a while anyway, might as well go higher and then respec later when you get the ring.

you need some int and fth for elemental defenses At least 10, ideally 15.

consider some attunement for utility spells like flash sweat or magic barrier, or at least wear southern ritual band for those situations

Consider using a bonfire ascetic on executioner's chariot for the Chloranthy Ring +2

Consider infusing your hammer with fire, like a true smith. Also keep an eye out for the possessed armor sword in the DLC. If you make a flame-wielding smith, you can benefit from a lot of the good pyromancy in this game.

Also consider power stancing the hammer with a great hammer, greatsword, or straight sword.

Good stats to aim for:
>40 vigor
>40 end
>13, or 30 vit
>4, or 16 attunement
>50 str (there's still some decent scaling gains from 40 to 50)
>whatever dex you want
>whatever adp you want
>10 or 15 int, 20 if you do pyro

Question, how do Pyromancy work in DaS2? I'm a bit clueless there, since I never much into it.

I was thinking going Pyromancy or Faith on the side, mostly to Buff or dish out some long ranged attacks.

Attunement is a nobrainer, just focused on Raw power so far to kill shit fast enough. Flexile Sentry took literally 8 swings and were stagger-locked.

I'll definitely rock Fire Hammer as a true Blacksmith, just need to find the Firedrake Stone.
>Possessed Armor Sword in the DLC
No clue how to get into the DLC just yet, but that Sword looks like a proper candidate to off-hand. I'll look into it.

What about Soul Memory? Should I bother about it at all? I do want to get invaded and later I'm planning to invade when I got proper fashion.

For me, only PvE matters in DS3, and the Candlestick is insanely fun in PvE. I gave up on DS3's nonsensical no-fun PvP ages ago. As if going sorcery would ever work out well there anyway.

Quality is the only playstyle that matters, after all, 'cause like FromSoftware says:
"The fuck you doing, investing in stats other than strength or dexterity? This motherfucker ate the Dark Soul and became a flying dark-vomiting teleporting superbeast, and even HE shat out a quality greatsword! Go stuff a tongue into slugmom, change your stats, and never use spells again, you fucking loser."
>>
>>187480650
So it resembles the Pyromancy from DaS1?
When should I look to find my way into the DLC? I'm planning to use that Sword as a Main-hand then, buffing it with Fire as a proper Smith.
>>
>>187480474
It scales with either Intel or Faith whichever is higher, Dark Works Opposite. Whichever is lower. Pyro is great support tool if enemy is resistant to your Sorcery or Lightning.

Honestly in DS2 you'd want as much as ATT as possible, I tend to go all the way till 50 myself since higher ATT also means more spell casts so being pure spellcaster can be fun, and there are alot of elemental weapons that you can further enhance by infusing them
and then buffing them


Don't care much about SM if you don't care about Co-oping and invading.
>>
>>187480474
Pyromancy scales with your combined Int/Fai, it soft-caps at 60 total. No stat requirements for the Pyromancies themselves, so theoretically you can go 50/10 or 10/50 or 30/30 and all would be equally good at being a Pyro. Some actual Pyro weapons have stat requirements though, so if you intend to use certain ones you'll need to account for them.

Soul Memory is something best ignored on your first character. So long as you don't waste souls buying too many consumables (or at least the ones that can be farmed), buying weapons/armor you won't use, upgrading weapons/armor you won't use, or dropping a bunch of souls, you should be fine. There's a ring you can obtain fairly early on that lets you lock your soul gain, it can be useful for making sure you don't increase your SM unless you want to.
>>
>>187479752
I'm this anon: >>187480779

and I share all of your pain, those are great weapons.

Candlestick had the potential to be DS3's Rune Sword. It pains me that SKSS is only in one game. DS2 at least gets Blue Flame, Fume Sword or the Ashen Warrior Sword, which are all great long straight swords with fun gimmicks. But DS3, the game where straightswords are the best they've ever been, doesn't get any of the interesting SSs from the previous game at all, except for the disappointing RKSS.

>It scales with either Intel or Faith whichever is higher,
Nope, it scales with the average of faith and int. So 40/20 is the same as 30/30 and the same as 20/40.

>I was thinking going Pyromancy or Faith on the side, mostly to Buff or dish out some long ranged attacks.
That is the proper way to do pyromancy. Since it has no equip requirements, it's basically a secondary caster stat to complement whatever play style you're using. You can use pyro "raw" on a melee build by just investing in attunement. You can use it with a faith build as an complementary offensive class, you can use it on a int build as a complementary defensive class, or you can use it with hexes as an alternate damage against dark-resistant enemies.

The only downside to pyro in DS2 is that it's the most commonly resisted element.

>just need to find the Firedrake Stone.
You can farm all the infusion stones by giving smooth and silky stones to the crows in things betwixt. If you use a fragrant branch in things betwixt also, the basilisks there drop the upgrade stones as well. There's also a free firedrake stone in the flame salamander pit in Forest of the Fallen Giants, along with a fire longsword.

>What about Soul Memory? Should I bother about it at all?
If you are not planning on pvping, don't worry about it. Soul memory's only other effect is that at 1m soul memory, you can advance to the endgame sequence any time you want, regardless of how many bosses you have killed. That makes the first ~80% of the base game basically optional.

If you do want to be invaded, just make sure you stay under 2.5m or so, since beyond that you start getting into upper tiers with less activity. However it's extremely rare to lose 100k souls at a time, so there's little you need to worry about in terms of being too far behind other players, as long as you don't drop hundreds of thousands of souls on upgrade materials for weapons you don't need.

They'll both hit like shit unless you're at 40/40 with at least Witch's Ring equipped.
>>
>>187480474
>>187480912
also, attunement is good but don't forget that after 20 attunement gains are very minimal. It's better to just use a bonfire ascetic on Scorpiniess Najka and get the Souther Ritual Band +2, which is 3 slots. That's the equivalent of 40 attunement.

Basically pick one of the following:
>20 attn and ritual band = 7 slots (agility softcap at 27)
>30 attn and ritual band = 9 slots (agility softcap at 24)
>40 attn no ring = 7 slots, no rings required (agility softcap at 20)

and aim for capping out at one of those.
>>
>>187481463
Attunement is still very good for increasing casting speed and cast amounts. You'll still probably want Clear Bluestone +2 from Skeleton Lords though.

You play the second instead.
Trust me, already rolled a Sorcerer in DaS3. I wanted to die throughout the entire playthrough, until I got my hands on the last 2 Scrolls that actually provides you with decent Spells (even though Heavy Soul Arrow is good on its own).

The journey however before you'll feel like you actually deal significant damage, you'll realize how absolutely terrible it is.

Sacrfice:
- A ring slot
- Helm slot
- Way too many points to deal less damage than a quality build
- Estus flasks (who thought this was a good idea?)

It's just fucking terrible.

also, you can do a "hollow" pyromancer build in DS2 with the dark pyro glove. At full hollowing, the dark pyro glove is pretty much always stronger than the normal pyro glove, regardless of what scaling you have. This means on very low int/fth but very high hollowing (aka, early game when you die a lot) the dark pyro glove is great.

Back when I cared about invading, I actually had a pretty decent time invading with it in Irithyll. I used Flashsword, Soul Greatsword, and Snap Freeze/Pestilent Mercury, and it was decently fun. I made my fashion look like an Irithyll knight (since I try to make all my PvP characters seem like NPC invaders) and that's stuck with the character ever since. You have to be really quick on your feet to make it work, though.

>>187481270

For PvP?

Try to use spells, spend your time missing enemies from a distance with the 3000 Soul Arrow equivalents, end up trying to use Farron Flashsword just so you can hit somebody for once, end up dealing half the damage of your opponent while requiring blue estus to even play, wonder why you're not playing quality, and then give up and play a souls game with better PvP instead.

For PvE?

Use a weapon catalyst like Cleric's Candlestick, mess around with lots of different spell combinations, and generally enjoy yourself as well as you would playing the game any other way.

After about fifty hours of using one of my favorite weapons even though it is absolutely trash (Arstor's Spear). I decided to try out something a little different.

Probably not as optimized as much as possible, but I figured this would help me do a little bit of everything. Greatsword with the highest AR with buff on for HA. Straight Sword with the highest AR for this bracket. Arbalest for highest AR quick range option, hardswapping to Onislayer or Composite Bow for alternative or ranged. Storyteller's because I still want me poison just in case. And Black Knight because it's retardely powerful. Might change it out for Ethereal Oak for the regen.

Why are so many cool weapons ass?
>>
>>187481928
You were doing it properly. Just From being retarded and decided to put the only interesting Sorceries at the end of the game, limiting you to a very boring playstyle.
I'd just go a weird build that can cast Magic Weapon.
What really kills me the most about DaS3, is how little we can Buff weapons, but Quality Build gets all the fun stuff.

No, it's randomized within tiers.
>Prism Stone - mostly useless shift
>Small SSS - regular titanite
>Large SSS - infusion stones and twinkling titanite
>petrified something- rare weapons/items and upgrade stones (slabs, twinkling, petrified dragon bone, etc.)

giving them one will let you access randomly any item within that tier, plus a lower chance of items above and below that tier. Channeller's trident seems to be available no matter what item you use though, I think. I get it a lot.

>I saw him sell Shards, I bought his Shards. Does that really count into Soul Memory?
Soul Memory counts any souls that are added to the counter on the lower right of the screen, regardless of whether your spend them or not. However, since you can farm items with the agape ring on, souls spent on merchants (or anything other than leveling up) are technically less efficient. But because matchmaking is tier-based, to actually see a difference you need to "waste" 100k to 500k souls. The only thing that is really capable of doing this is buying a ton of titanite chunks, which go for 6k each, and you need 6 per weapon upgrade.

However, near the end of the game you can farm an infinite amount of any upgrade without spending souls by using bonfire ascetics and running through areas to pick up tons of chunks.

he's got a point, if you actually take DS3 pvp seriously the ideal way to play is through extremely passive chip damage and buff stacking with green blossom, pellets, duel charms, farron dart, homing soul mass, dragon shield, repeating crossbow, throwing knives, and unlocked firebombs, defensive straight sword running attack R1 spam, and then at the last minute if your opponent fucks up you throw out a great deep soul or something at them.
>>
>>187482216

More like it makes sorcerers unplayable due to having to sacrifice health for less casts per spell then they'd get in any other souls game, on top of having to fit into an extremely specific character mold to even deal quality-comparable damage at all. Not to mention how most enemies won't give you enough time to cast even at mid-range, since they're faster than bloodborne enemies in many cases, and NPCs are coded to dodge all projectiles.

there's a lot of twinkling titanite in the shaded woods path (un-petrify the girl that is past the cave in majula) and bonfire ascetics grant you 3 twinkling, but it has a limited supply of drops without the use of ascetics, and is not sold by anyone until the end of the game. another reason why craftsman's hammer is overrated, sorry

HOWEVER...

You can easily farm smooth and silky stones by just using the small white sign soapstone. It will also return you to human form as well. Since it's on a timer, all you need to do is get summoned and keep the host alive for ~5-10 minutes and you get your stone. It makes it vmore useful than the normal white sign soapstone if you aren't in the sunbro covenant.

Can any anon tell me how do I make my own custom starting classes? I have unpacked the Dark Souls file for randomizer but I don't have that bnd3 file on Data anymore.

Everything is randomized to "Very Unfair" levels. Shops are randomized, merchant inventory are randomized, even item drops are randomized.
in my last playthrough I got White Sign Soapstone after killing Manus and Gwyn dropped me a Zweihander.
Anyways I can look at cheat sheet, but I'm not a fucking bitch.

I'm the anon you talked into trying it. Never had more fun.
Currently trying to actually finally complete DaS2 though, but will definitely try it again some time.

>Covenant of Artorias was in the Chest that usually contained Gold Pine Resin
Was a good feeling.

Vaati get on this shit

Where was the Covenant?

>>187483801
Finding items at wildly different locations is really fun as well, I'm just wondering where would Lord Vessal end up this time with Senile Gwynevere
Going from Base DS2 to SoTFS was also same feeling, new enemy locations. I really wish DS3 would also get a SoTFS like treatment and add Silver Knight weapons

Also there is another mod that's WIP but nexusmods/darksouls/mods/1332/

Covenants are not randomized, so they're still at their usual spots.

The only fun way to play a sorceror in DS3 is to basically play a 27 strength build (or quality) with Heysel Pick, Ithryll straight sword, MLGS, or GSoJ, and only use utility (non scaling) spells like snap freeze, pestilent mercury mist, great magic shield, chameleon, frozen weapon, some arrows/dart/flashsword for stagger (not damage), and use melee weapons for actually doing damage, on something like 27/40/40. Maybe also with aquamarine dagger.

>No SIlver Knight Weapons allowed in DaS3
I've never felt more torn apart..

>Covenants are not randomized
I think he meant Covenant of Artorias.

>That's asking a lot for people who summons help, unless if I clear his entire area before he can catch up.

The timer depletes faster the more enemies you kill. So yes, exactly that.

>>187483003
>I don't really get what From tried to pull off with Wolnir, he had some crazy lore and that's what they gave us? He was showcased in a different area in the teaser trailer aswell.

It sounds like they wanted a giant cinematic boss fight against a huge skeleton, realized they were running out of budget or couldn't pull it off graphically, so they used what models they had and transplanted him to a pitch black area (which is easier to render graphically) and gave him weak points to avoid having to design and actual boss fight or area that would be necessary for taking down a giant that large.

>>187484031
Covenant of Artorias, dummy.
>>
>>187484136
This. Except the only reason to go to 40 Int is if you want to use MLGS, keep at 30 for Crystal Based weapons and GSoJ.

>>187484203
Then they troll us more by adding "Ledo's Great Hammer", We added a Silver Knight Weapon :^).

>>187484374
Oh, It was in Sen's Fortress where Gold Serpent Ring used to be.

>>187484478
crystal infusion caps at 40int tho
>>
>>187484580
Fug. Well, I usually just use GSoJ and CMS on my Int Builds. So I just stop at 30 instead of 40, those 10 points to Vig/End are more important.

Most bosses hold their sword in their right hand, rolling toward THEIR right usually means you have a shorter distance your roll has to cover with iframes to avoid damage, since you're rolling into the attack instead of with it. Not sure why the image says that, since better advice would be "roll toward the slash, not away from it" If you roll to the right against an enemy that holds their weapon

It could be a reference to fume knight, who holds weapons in both hands but rolling to the right is generally preferred for the first phase, since Raime is a lefty. But the second phase requires rolling to the left usually since he changes the direction of his swings.
