I've only seen one, maybe two sets of DaS2 sliders posted. You might be out of luck here.
>>
So, after DaS3 they're finally going to move onto something new? These games are getting really stale.
>>
Why is Durability so low in DaS2, my mace is in danger after 50~ hits and I'm basically going bonfire to bonfire because if I don't all my shit breaks
>>
Doing a "Ranger" style run with a bow weapon. So far using Composite bow. Bow is useful for:

>Asylum demon
>Quelaag
>Capra demon
>Taurus Demon
>Moonlight Butterfly

Not useful for:
>Bell Gargoyles

They're too fast to get many shots in, and then there's two of them. Totally chaoic fight, and I've never been good with them. Only fight that gives me trouble.

Bows are under rated, and a headshot will typically stun a boss.
>>
>>123512749

What version are you playing? PS4 and uncapped PC versions have fast durability drain. PS3 is fine. Also consider yourself lucky, the durability used to be a lot worse before the softs release.

Also holy shit, Drangleic Castle is great. Thank god I don't have to fight Freja, that bitch scared the shit outta me. Fuck you forever, spiders. The Mirror Knight is such a hype boss.

It's chaos servant because she's a chaos demon

Quelaag was gathering Humanity to help restore The Fair Lady's life, you realize. And Ceaseless Discharge was just defending their sister's corpse.

Other Euros have more diverse hair and eye colors.

Here we see a Kurdish girl. Brown/brown combo, but different skin tone and facial features.

>>123514276
Yes, the willingly chose to bear her eggs after she cured them from the blight.
The guy next to her tells you she sucked the blight pus against her sister's orders
Quelaag is just protecting her home, she gives the humanity from the undead who tries to reach the bell of awakening to her dying sister as a bonus.
And also you could actually talk to the fair lady if you had picked the old witch ring in the character loading screen.
>>
>>123514276
>What's up with the dudes with parasite eggs on them? Did they willingly sign up for that?

Harvesting Humanity, probably. And given one serves The Fair lady willingly, she probably eased their suffering too.

>Quelaag attacks you on sight. Not very nice. And the act of harvesting humanity implies killing and stealing it.

From immortal beings that wander into her domain. She's not ganking anybody, or killing anyone permanently.
>>

>And also you could actually talk to the fair lady if you had picked the old witch ring in the character loading screen.

You can also trade the light hat for it too.

Going hollow as an undead is a worse fate than death though. She's still not evil though.

Play through the game normally, you should have over 30 by the time you actually need to go there
Alternatively, famr the rats in the depths or the humanity phantoms from the dlc

I am using video game logic. By video game logic, I should be safe from such projectile attacks.

Then they should have changed the stage, or done something where the rocks are gradually heated up.

The only seemingly bad hitbox in the entire game is the character rolling because the animation doesnt properly convey where the character's hitbox actually is, and it's completely irrelevant to this conversation.

Thinking about a newer Band of the Hawk Guts inspired build. I'm not that happy with the ones out there. One made him a "Wanderer", which is wrong, he's clearly a knight (who wanders).

Band of the Hawk Guts:

>Knight
>claymore
>Bandit's Knife
>no shield
>standard helm
>elite knight gauntlets
>knight armor
>Hard Leather Boots
>Red Eye Ring
>Wolf Ring

Stats:

>high str
>high end
>rest stats default

Sadly, outside of mods you can't get the glorious Band of the Hawk style armor, with a metal breastplate + cape, with leather boots and gauntlets. Warrior set is the closet. So I just mix and match from the Knight set to see what looks closest.

Hollow soldiers during shield bash animation. If you hit them head on when they windup the shield bash, the damage will be blocked as if the shield is still up.

>>123548497
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Mz2MiXKGo

>>123548583

That's how it always worked anon, shield up is a status that gives damage reduction from attacks that come from a particular direction.

I could headshot a spear & shield undead in DaS1 too and not get full damage

I'm not sure why you think a shield bash shouldn't grant block frames.

lolno

It's the same reused animation from DS1 or even DeS, but it works completely different in DS2 probably because they fucked up hitboxes when reworking it for 60FPS.
>>
>>123548834

hitboxes has literally nothing to do with this, again it's just the attack now counts as being shielded

the way it works is exactly how shielded status has always worked

>BUT IT HOW IT ALWAYS WORKED
You're a bit on a slow side, huh?
>>
>>123547708
Yeah but even though it has good damage for pve sometimes it's annoying as hell. It's so slow and combined with terrible range you often cant get more than one hit in at any given opportunity because by the time the second hit is about to land your either vulnerable or your not close enough to the enemy's hit box. It's situational I guess but the range is definitely a trade off especially when you might be getting 2-3 hits on a boss instead of one using a different weapon.
>>
>>123549017

>still has his shield up while he's charging the attack

I'm not sure why it's so hard to process for you that it behaves the same way any attack shielded attack does

>works differently in DS1/DeS

The attack itself does, the shield status itself doesnt.

And now, it still has nothing to do with hitbox placement, nor does it do anything to reinforce your point that any of this is "luck based" considering even if you don't like it, the behavior is consistent.
>>
>>123549105

I'll agree on that, but the poise damage is amazing.

Regardless, it's mostly meant as a poise breaking, anti armor-can weapon (and for the occasional skellington), it's not really an all-purpose tool.
>>
>>123549164
>I'm not sure why it's so hard to process for you that it behaves the same way any attack shielded attack does
>The attack itself does, the shield status itself doesnt.
You really are slow, aren't you?

>the behavior is consistent
Consistently shitty, yeah. You see, if the animations matched hitboxes properly, it wouldn't be an issue. But when the animation shows one thing and the hitboxes act differently, it's still just luck until you figure out all the nuance of fucked up hitboxes in the game.
>>
>>123549373

Shielded status never matched hitbox and will never do because otherwise shields would be next to useless, you're a retard

Never played DS before but think I should try it to see what the fuss is about

Is it actually as hard as people say it is?
Is it actually as addicting as people say it is?

pls respond

>>123554118
>Is it actually as hard as people say it is?
DS1 is fine, but the learning curve is steep. Once you get going, it's a blast. Avoid DS2 like a plague.

It is.

It's a hard game, not as much as it has the reputation for being, but the learning curve is really tough near the start.
Once it clicks, which is normally after you get past the second or third boss, you'll start seeing the game for the challenge it actually is.
As for addicting, the core gameplay in this is just sublime, there's no other words for it. I personally spent about a hundred and twenty hours through multiple playthroughs before I even touched the multiplayer, and at the moment I'm about 750 hours in.

Besides the stuff in the picture, best advice I can give you is to not look up anything and just enjoy the game for what it is.
If it feels like a boss is impossible to get through, summon someone and enjoy fending off invaders.
Also, read the item descriptions on everything to enjoy the worldbuilding and every now and then stop to look at the spectacularly designed environments and creature designs.

This game is a masterpiece.
Dark Souls 2 doesn't exist.
>>
>>123554118
That game turns to shit halfway through and has the worst pvp in the series due to balancing issues that even affect pve. You're better off just watching a playthrough to admire the pretty good last gen graphics, but if you want good gameplay don't bother.

Try Balder Armour instead for the chest piece.
>>
>>123554118

Also, despite what the picture shows, there's one big fucking mistake you can make in character creation that can potentially fuck your enjoyment of the game significantly:
Don't go with the thief starting class or get the Master Key gift; they're very useful for going through the game fast and skipping corners, but they will absolutely remove a lot of charm from your first playthrough.

Looks too run down, too dingy with too much exposed skin. Originally, it would have looked a lot like Band of the Hawk armor, but it has since decayed. You can't get that armor exactly, so just go with one of the knight pieces.

The Undead Burg is behind the tower when you look at it from Darkroot. When you come out of the tower to Darkroot you can see the bridge where Hellkite sits on your left.

>Also why is artorias grave so much bigger in normal game while the DLC is even smaller than normal ones?

It's not even the same location. The DLC gravestone is a makeshift one Ciaran made.

Hello anon

I've recently bought Dark Souls on PC, as I've had the intention to play it for the longest and I never got around purchasing a PS3 / Xbox360

I have downloaded the game and installed DSFix. I am having problems with my controller however, as the game refuses to pick it up. This is what I have : http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/dual-trigger-3-1-rumble-force

How can I get it to work? Friends have suggested downloading SCP Driver Package and trying to jerry-rig it to work fine. I've also been told to stay the fuck away from Motioninjoy

Worst comes to worst I'll download DSMFix and play the game
>>
>>123559972
>How can I get it to work? Friends have suggested downloading SCP Driver Package and trying to jerry-rig it to work fine. I've also been told to stay the fuck away from Motioninjoy

This is good advice. PC DaS uses XInput, which means that only Xbox compatible controllers work out of the box. So you'll need a special driver for other controllers like the PS3 controllers. SCP driver should work. Motioninjoy is Chinese malware and you should stay away from it.
>>
Everyone said controller was better and im playing with a controller for the first time, but I like the pc controlls way more. How am I supposed to sprint and move and control the camera at the same time?
>>
>>123561574

It matters way less than you think it does after 3 bosses.
Remember than a good 70% of the good items and cool stuff is found by exploration.
Try to get a sense of where you are going.
When you get kidnapped don't go into the graveyard but go to the top right instead.
Luring enemies one at a time is basically how you roll.
Rolling is also how you roll but shields help a lot too depending on what kind of hit the enemy is using.
Literally walking backwards after baiting an attack also works with minimal stamina consumption
RES is literally worthless
>>
>>123554518
yeah I don't get why people use it. The information is less thorough and generally poorly laid out, especially when it comes to details like weapon stats. Plus sometimes it clogs your browser with it's stupid chat thing and random unrelated youtube videos you didn't ask it to play.

>>123562583

I bought SotFS on sale a few weeks ago. I had played like 5 hours of DaS2 and just couldn't get into it. I'm really enjoying SotFS though.

I don't really get it. What changed between them? I've noticed some different enemy placement but everything else seems about the same. It just feels not as shitty for some reason.

Also I recall my weapons breaking all the goddamn time in DaS2, but now they only threaten to break if you're banging them against a wall constantly.

Is there a recommended level be at before you do any of the DLC content?
>>
>>123563243
Oh, I thought you meant you popped the item. I've totally seen people do that on their first play through of a Souls game.

You should make sure you've explored all of the area from the Last Giant bonfire. There's a lot of good items that make it worthwhile. Also the Pursuer boss fight, which is doable as long as you bring some summons.

After that the best place to go is the Tower of Flame. The big guys aren't that tough once you've leveled up your weapon a few times.

The only people you should maybe summon are side characters that advance their plots, like Creighton, Pate, Lucatiel and Benhart.

I would never recommend any other summoning to someone who goes in blind. Do what you want on NG+ though

The gameplay isn't necessarily worse.

You don't have as much weapon selection, but the movesets are more diverse. You don't have powerstancing, but most of the time powerstancing is less efficient than 2handing anyway. You don't have to worry about AGL. You don't have lifegems, but you have Humanity. Stamina usage isn't nearly as intensive and regens faster (this is the main thing people refer to when they say DaS2 feels slower).

Of course, there are things that are just "different" that will be up to personal taste, like how healing is applied between DaS and DaS2 Estus.
>>
>>123567798
I mean the infusions. EpicNameBro explained that infusing weapons is useless in Dark Souls except in some specific circumstances, due to the way defense works.
>>
R8 my Gobbler build I did recently. Didn't need to be low level, I just increased vit and end as I went. I wanted to coop the build but it didn't happen.

It's far from useless, but elemental weapons do less damage than pure physical with full damage stats, as they should.
You're supposed to use magic/divine weapons in int and faith builds and fire/lightning in hp gouge/low level builds.

In DaS the regular upgrade path is the best if you have points in the stats the weapon scales with just like it should be. In DaS2 even if you have 40/40 in str/dex you still deal more damage with elemental weapons which makes physical builds useless.

This. My biggest gripe with DS2 is that it has double the weapons(probably more), but less than half of the unique movesets.

Actually, it's better go just make your weapon raw and wear ring of blades + flynns for stupidly high pure physical damage with no stat investment, which is arguably even worse.

>>123573097
I believe as long as your INT is at least 50, then magic infusion is worth it. You may also want to consider making it Enchanted, which will turn all the damage it does into physical damage while still scaling with INT. This lets you mix up your damage types and allows you to use the Ring of Blades for added damage as well.

Decided to try invading on my old Depths twink. I dunno if it's cause it's Friday, the sale or both but pretty much every single try went through in seconds. My character is built to bully people, really high armor, tranquil walk of peace, level 3 dickwraith Dark Hand suckage, Dung Pies, Poison Darts, the works. I just walk towards them and tank the damage if it's not too high. My biggest joy is when they panic and do something stupid, just killing them is too easy and not fun at all, I want that terror to set in. The last guy I invaded was the peak of fun in my autistic invasion game. I was grinning by the end.

>invade him and keep walking towards him

>also have with fun with no invasions or co-op because of soul memory and because we absolutely had to cleave the already dwindling userbase in half
I don't understand this. SM was already in vanilia dark souls 2. Also the userbase isn't really cut in half, since there are like 3 people playing the original dark souls still. There is the agape ring now though, if you are willing to waste a ring slot for controlled online tiers.

>>123575393
If you can spare 5 levels, yes. Otherwise, it's not such a big necessity that you should sacrifice other stats for it. 40 dex is fine too. If you won't use dex weapons and only invest for magic cast speed, god no.

>>123575402
A friend might be willing to buy them from you for a few souls on the side. He's rummored to be hiding out in the area after Heide's tower of flame...

>>123575639
99 agility gives you i think 12 i-frames on your rolls, 100 agi nets you one more i-frame on your backsteps compared to 99. Stay on 99 if you won't do backsteps, go for 100 if you plan to, get 105 if you can spare the levels.
>>
>>123575402
you can sell them to gavlan, you don't get much for them though.
>>
>>123575865
>agape ring
Don't give a fuck about a wasted slot, but the ring doesn't exactly help much. I just want to play the game normally, while engaging in some online experience every once in a while. Like using a few cracked orbs when bored, or dropping my sign down to help a fella out while scouting the area and the boss risk-free. Especially when it feels like From intended the game to be played this way, but it just doesn't work. What happens now is that you get fucked out of any co-op or most pvp action because you white phantomed one time too much or because you played the areas in wrong order.

Thanks b-team, thanks SM.

Movement: WASD
R1, R2: Mouse 1, Mouse 2
L1, L2: L.Shift, Tab
Lock-On: Mouse 3
Switch Targets: Z, X
Two-Hand Weapon: L.Alt
Sprint/Roll: Space
Jump: F
Change Spell/Item: MWheel Up/Down
Use Item: Q
Interact: E
Switch left/right hand equip: C, V

Also, make sure to disable double-clicking in the options, otherwise there will be some HEAVY delay when you left/right click. Furthermore, you need to disable it every time you start the game, because even though the menu will remember your selection, the game won't recognize it when you restart.

Protip: Once you turn off double-clicking, you can just open the controls menu to make the game remember your selection next time you start the game, you don't actually have to toggle the option.

Do you actually have downs syndrome?

The only time you can get invaded in ANY of these games is if you go through the process to Coop.

You don't need to be a ghost in DeS unless you want Coop and more health, you don't need to be human in Dark Souls or Dark 2 unless you want coop, YOU NEVER get invaded in BB unless you are cooping or hosting for invasions.

Anyone who gets killed by a twink is a coop bab because no one would be ghost/human/ringing their bell at low levels unless they were cooping.

"Fixing" twinking helps no one. When will you braindead retards realize this? If they remove twinking people will find a way around it, just look at dark souls 2. Actually dark souls 2 is a prime example.

In their efforts to thwart twinks, all they ended up hurting was every player ever who wanted to invade at low levels and have pvp fun while he played through the game. And not only did it hurt them, but it even hurt high level pvpers since they got rid of full eye orbs and made that retarded SM system.

Dark Souls 2 tried to "fix" twinking and all it did was hurt everyone except the twinks who just used CE/Saves/Mules to get around it.

You can do anything you want, even crazy hacker level shit and you wont get banned.

So if you want souls, just cheat in a few soul items and then use those, don't directly change your souls.

So I need some actual advice for the PS3 scholar of the first sin.
I've been trying to farm the desert sorceress set, and have successfully obliterated all enemies in earthen peak to the point where I no longer have a shot.
Is it unwise to burn an ascetic just to farm? Will the enhanced soul yield fuck up my soul memory?
Will NG+ make the area ++ and harder than fuck or will I be gud enough by that level to survive?
>>
>>123596942
Because it's not Lightroot Garden

Why don't you switch to the Covenant of Champions? Unlimited respawns.

You can't buy the Agape Ring? You aren't on Scholar of the first sin then.
>>
>>123599305
I shouldn't have to fucking use Agape Ring this is bullshit fucking bteam cocksuckers I need to lose 1 pvp ring slot just to use it every time
>>
>>123599181
Go to the Covenant of Champions until you get the set.
Burning an Ascetic means that in NG+, the Earth Peak will be level 3, which basically means NIGHTMARE MODE.

>>
>>123599684
Multiplying the number of enemies is pretty much the definition of shoehorned difficulty. They abandoned the well placed enemy strategy from the first 2 games and instead decided that in order to make it tougher they'd just throw piles of NPCs in small spaces.
Iron Keep is a prime example of the NPC shittiness that the PS4 and PC scholar's added.

Wrong. Shoehorning is inflating the enemies' HP and damage.
AI-controlled invaders, for example, have an insane amount of HP compared to humans invaders.

I really cannot fathom how people can be this bad at videogames. Even if you doubled the enemy spawns in Scholar of the First Sin, most of my deaths would still come from falling instead of dying to enemies themselves.

DaS1 is my second favourite game of all time and even I think you're full of shit. DaS1 is so damn unfinished which keeps it from being perfect.
>>
>>123600602
DaS2 is fanservice in game form. Scholar's tried to make it more hack and slash with early weapon infusions and more enemies to mow down. Grab the drangleic armor while you're at it and you might as well be playing one.
2 has better mechanics in several areas, like PVP, Combat, Acrobatics and the way gear weight works. But in all other regards it's inferior.

I'm the same DaS fanboy you're replying to, and I think you're almost completely right.
I'd argue that the way gear weight worked in DaS1 was better because it allowed for a greater level of precision in rolling and movement in general since it was all standardized, but that's it.

But yeah, I play about every other month. I'd play more but the game is so fucking short that I find it's super easy to burn out on nowadays. I can play for maybe a day, beat the game and do some multiplay and be satisfied for a long ass time.

Demon Souls had a solid a respectable 1.7 million units. It was only on one console, had little advertising and a small budget. Miyazaki says he joined the Demon team because the game wasn't going anywhere, and he could either make a great game, or a failed game that no one would notice.

Dark Souls was made because Demon was successful. It was meant to be a sequel that was legally distinct enough so that it could be sold on the 360 and other consoles, which would improve sales. It got something like 2.5 million sales.

So I made the mistake of making a sorcerer in Das2

>all spells are Soul Arrows
>those that are not suck ass
>Homing Soulmass has 4 casts and deals the same damage as a soul arrow with 15 casts
>Magic Weapon increases damage by like 5% at best
>all utility spells seem to be useless
>Shockwave and Soul Spear Barrage are just what the fuck
>also Soul Arrows suck ass, too, because they seem to scale like shit and were only good at the beginning
>best caster gear I have come across, lion mage set and warlock helm, are ugly as fuck

I have 30 int and my piece of shit sorcerer staff is +7. Most fights I just have to cheese with soul arrows because my weapons, even Fire Longsword +7, deal shit damage due to int being my only offensive stat. And because Magic Weapon is so atrocious.

Why must this be so difficult, please send help.

I hadn't have problems with frigid outskirts. I only said that it's lazily designed
>>
>>123607480
I agree with you to an extent but it's mainly your fault for not knowing what gear to use.
You're using the weakest form of magic weapon and some of the shittiest beginner weapons in the game, of course your damage is gonna be piddly. Find a magic stone and infuse the longsword with magic instead of fire, then when you cast magic weapon on it the damage will scale better with your INT. Look up where to get Great/Crystal magic weapon as well.

I remember you could do that before the Agape Ring/Sotfs was even out, but some update broke that table. I don't know if it's built into the general CE table but you may be able to find the address for the Agape Ring's effect and apply that to yourself without having to waste a ring slot. If you can't be bothered with all of that, just deal with using up a ring slot for it.

Figured out how to enable weapon and item toggling, and mask the crosshairs and arrow selection box.

Locking on is a little bit weird, since it doesn't automatically move the camera and manually moving the camera will sometimes change what you're locked onto.

The next part will be making armor sets invisible and adjusting certain weapons' holding animations so they're not stabbing you in the face (both of which I know how to do, it'll just take a while to write a script).

Since no one answered my question about the soul drops between NG+ and NG+7, I did some tests with the Dragonrider. Here's the result, if anybody needs it.

Dragonrider soul drops:

>Bonfire intensity 1 (NG) : 12 000 souls (+0% compared to NG, x1)
>Bonfire intensity 2 (NG+) : 24 000 souls (+100% compared to NG, x2)
>Bonfire intensity 3 (NG+2): 30 000 souls (+150% compared to NG, x2.5)
>Bonfire intensity 4 (NG+3): 33 000 souls (+175% compared to NG, x2.75)
>Bonfire intensity 5 (NG+4): 36 000 souls (+200% compared to NG, x3)
>Bonfire intensity 6 (NG+5): 39 000 souls (+225% compared to NG, x3.25)
>Bonfire intensity 7 (NG+6): 42 000 souls (+250% compared to NG, x3.5)
>Bonfire intensity 8 (NG+7): 48 000 souls (+300% compared to NG, x4)

That should hold true for every boss in the game.

The armor and rapier was simply trying to be as stylish as possible with low weight, and ricard's consecutive stab attack is decent with buffs too

Not this poster but curious how multiplayer compatibility works between DS2+DLC versus Scholar.

I own DS2 but none of the DLC yet.

I gather patch 1.1 brought the DX11 features to vanilla DS2 and you cannot use your DS2 saves in Scholar if you go that route?
The save issue being pretty irrelevant as I lost my DS2 saves awhile back.
I don't really care about the 10USD difference between the two if the experience is markedly better in either direction.

>>123632234
There were silver knights and sentinels.
>>
>>123631928
no. Its supposed to be a sunken city that has "some connection" to Anor Londo.

it isnt actually Anor Londo. And if you are really paying attention youll notice that the only part of it that is a 1:1 with Anor Londo is the Blue Cathedral. The rest is slightly less gothic and more neoclassical with more usage of columns and stuff
>>
>>123632209
there's probably no real significance to them
the Witch would be the only one who might have dominion over them, and it wouldn't make much sense to send just a couple of Demons to guard non-essential areas of the town

>>123632234
yes, plenty of them
>>
>>123631928
>>123632123
What? Are asking if it's supposed to look like a sunken Anor Londo, or if it's actually supposed to be the very same city, but mostly flooded?
>>
>>123632209

No one, demon's in DaS do whatever the fuck they want, they wander and kill people for souls, they want souls, populated areas have souls
>>
>>123632452
Maybe it's a seperate section of Anor Londo

Who the fuck knows.

>that fucking hollow that blocks the doorway before gargoyles every fucking time

special fuck you to the developers

im having trouble with capra demon, i try to run at the start so i can isolate a dog and kill it but
if i dodge the dog charging at me capra demon hits me
if i try dodging the capra demon's hit the dog hit confirms and capra hits me
this is frustrating as fuck, i cant think of a strategy aside from getting lucky with dog AI and equipping a shield which im not going to do
help please?
>>
>>123633080
Go up the stairs so the dogs funnel up there single-file.
>>
>>123633182
thats what im trying to do, but when i go in the gate and start running, the dog charges at me and the above happens
>>
>>123633076
just stand in the doorway before the hollows and let them come to you
if you have a 100% block shield you'll take them down easily without taking damage
the Gargoyles aren't such a hard boss for a zero-enemy route to the boss fog to be necessary
>>
>>123633257
well I don't have a shield and no the gargoyles aren't that easy when you do 30 damage with a hand axe family

I'll acknowledge i did this to myself though but it's still annoying

Alright so I'm retarded when it comes to weapon crafting in Dark Souls 1.
Does it matter whether I have a +5 or +10 longsword when I want to make it divine?

Have a friend try to summon you, or for the loner, go to the bridge at Iron Keep. If you don't see any signs there even after hanging around for a while, you may be in trouble.

Iron Keep in front of Smelter should be pretty active, I used to co-op there at 900K SM and got summoned lots. Could also put your sign down after the Smelter bonfire or at Mytha.

Dark lasts longer, while giving pretty much the same amount of damage. Dark lasts 99 seconds, Resonant lasts 73, with max faith of coursh. Dark gives weapon damage + 50 * 1,25 and Resonant gives your weapon a weapon damage + 50 *1,30 buff.
As you see, no real reason to not use Dark.

on the topic of weapon buffs, why is flame weapon the best?
4 uses that last 90 seconds, and give that damage+50*1.3 scaling

There is a ladder right next to you where you can funnel them.
It's funny how so many people have difficulties when they are expected to play smart. You are always given tools to deal with these situations. Use them.

I know that there's a ladder but the fall damage is kind of a bitch at such low HP and from what i saw plunging is not as precise as it used to be.

Explored the area, used the key to reveal hidden wall, killed michelangelo with the ballista, some enemy died literally like in >>123642162 on the giant sword.

ps3 is one of the most needlessly complex consoles ever. More than the Saturn, or N64, which to this day still do not have good emulators.

Face it, it's NEVER getting a good emulator.

>>123644359
The bonfire with the merchant is always nearby and you open shortcuts to it. You may have missed one by not detonating barrels.
Also DaS2 uses environmental hazards and traps throughout the game much more so than DaS1. Use them to your advantage against enemies. The most important one is water. It gives you fire resistance and gets rid of certain stuff, but makes you susceptible to lightning. Keep that in mind in difficult areas.
>>
>>123640208
It only gives you 15% extras damage
It's garbage.
>>
>>123612485
you can scan for it easily. then you can either cut it off from the source that changes its value, essentially freezing it or just manually change it to the desired one. i dont think you will get bunned for this. you shouldn’t go lower than the minimum sm for your level because you WILL get bunned. conveniently, mugenmonkey tells you your minimum sm if you paste your build there
>>
What's a good place to be summoned for bosses in Sotfs? About 450k sm
