Every time I try to make a new character in DkS I notice the face has a noticeably yellowish tint compared to the rest of the body. I tried everything even the beard option on female characters, and I still cannot tell what causes it. Can I fix it or is it hopeless?

Weeb studying nipplenese here. Has anyone been able to change their US versions of DaS1 or 2 to have Japanese text? Can't seem to do so even after setting the language in the Steam properties

>>125855963
I've seen that post, but dsfix doesn't have an override for Japanese. It does for a bunch of other languages, though
>>125855963
The DSfix method doesn't work for me, for some reason. I've never been abale to switch the internal game language even after setting Steam to english and reDLing the game
I'm an xbox player who recently bought the PC version. I want to jump into the pvp, and I would use a mega mule of my own creation on xbox before (no ?wn? or any of that bullshit. Just upgraded gear so I don't have to farm up to a pvp level or run through the game 3 times for a weapon).
I know that most people use cheat engine , and I've checked the sticky, but I was wondering if there was a working mega mule script for cheat engine. I know there is one that exists, but for some reason whenever I try to click "enable" it doesn't check off and nothing happens. I know that I'm following all the directions correctly.

So... the dark soul gets its power from the Fire?
Thus the fire running out of power is the cause of the undead curse?
>>125859729
most souls are so, but the dark soul is unique. it gets stronger as the fire fades. the reason of the undead curse is gwyn’s fuckery
>>125859729
The exact opposite but whatever.
The gods explicitly care about fire but the dark soul gets stronger the weaker the flame is
>get a bittersweet/sad feeling when i make a character that i like

>>125860061
>relive the happiness i had as a child playing videogames
Probably the main reason I like the Souls games. I remember as a kid, I just played games, never understanding what the fuck to do. Whenever a cutscene happened, I knew I did things right. The Souls games do that for me. I can freely be as ignorant as I want about the story, and a simple boss cutscene or fog gate will always pat me on the back, letting me know I'm making progress
>>125859927
>>125859993
okay I don't get it. I would have thought the undead curse was because the fire was running low on power, thus the dark soul was weak, and thus humans were being stripped of the dark soul and becoming hollows. Hollows are just creatures without any kind of soul.
If the Dark Souls get stronger, then why do they spread the undead curse? Why does the abyss spread?
>>125860379
The dark souls gets stronger as the fire gets weaker, there really isn't too much else to it the things just are opposites and thats the way the world is written.

What the fug is this. Soul vessels be damned, the character only got me mad. I tried a havelfag with a greatsword but getting stun locked by everything is maddening with that new poise. Now I'm having decent fun with a light gear guy using a long sword and a rapier.
>>125860548
Hump his leg
>>125860452
But why does ti make the dark sign? Shouldn't it do the opposite and make humans more humany? Hollows are lacking a dark soul.
>>125860684
It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
The overarching thing about Light (Fire depending on how you view it) vs Dark is the fact that the Age of Fire and everything that men think they are is an illusion created by the first flame, and the Dark is just reverting back to their natural state as undying things that wander around doing absolutely nothing
>>125860597

>>125860797
>It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
Using humanity allows you to revert from hollow to human though. And it was the original dark soul that created humans in the first place. So why would MORE Dark Soul power result in hollows and an undead curse?
>It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
Until we got the dark soul.
The undead curse is the cutting off of some humans from the dark soul. And that starving of humanity slowly turns them hollow.
Hollow = no humanity, not too much humanity.

The faggot snake says there's darkness, and "true" darkness. I'm guessing the "true" age of darkness is a newly established world and kingdom.
Fuck it, what if it's the world of Dark Souls 2? Thatd be neato. But don't overthink the story. It's just an afterthought compared to intricate design they put in everything else
>>125861126
Na your headcanon of humanity being the only source of the dark souls is retarded because then there is no reason for hollows to move around in the first place
Does anyone get massive lag when using White Dragon Breath?
>>125859174
I hate invasion design in DS2 so fucking much.
>>125861440
Furtive Pygmy got the dark soul. Became human. His descendants get parts of the dark soul.
Without humanity humans become undead hollows.
Dark Sign is a curse where humans turn undead. Undead can steal Dark Soul shards ("humanity") to consume and stay sane.
>because then there is no reason for hollows to move around in the first place
Movement and life are not special. Consciousness is. Dark Soul and Lord Souls give the original beings power and minds.
The original world was just dragons and arch trees living on the top, and some unchanging undead creatures down below doing nothing. Nothing changed. Then the fire changed everything.
The fire running out means the world is turning back to the world it originally was, mindless undead and nothing changing. Even the dragons would eventually come back.

Way more varied than any souls shit aka 1000 versions of soul arrow.
Do you think they're gonna do cool transformations for DaS3 like they did with BB?
For some reason I'm imagining the dragonform finally having wings.
>>125860379
Fire produces both light and dark. Both the fancy lord souls and shitty dark souls were found in the first flame. That's why fire scales off both int or faith in DS2. Deepest lore.
>>125861667
>Even the dragons would eventually come back.
Well glad I can disregard everything you said as some retarded ass fanficion, believe it all you want but holy shit thats retarded.
>>125861932
The hit boxes added with wings would make playing it abysmal, no?
>>125861974
>Well glad I can disregard everything you said as some retarded ass fanficion, believe it all you want but holy shit thats retarded.
The Dragons are coming back in 3, and Miyazaki has said they're elementals who can regenerate and never fully die.
>>125861932
What are you talking about, boss transformations and phases? Probably, tree boss has a transformation already.
I doubt they will make any bosses that can top Ludwig or Gehrman though.
>>125862056
Not him but I thought the primordial crystal Seath stole was what gave them godmode/invulnerability/yada yada?

I think he means more along the lines of the Beast/Lumenwood transformations that were added in the recent update.

After doing an egg head run, wish there was more to it than 50% less souls and a shitty kick replacement that does like 15 damage.

It's their scales that gave them immortality or some shit. Seath was scaleless and mortal thus he jelly.

>>125862775
You know I never understood this? Why do people cheat to use endgame gear just to go around and kill new players? They don't have the ability to put up a good fight, and there's no reason to harvest humanity or souls when they obviously can use their editors to get as much as they want. And if its trolling, why don't they spice it up? Maybe do the Darkwraith dance or something? Fuck
>>125862913
Because if you want an actual skill based fight you play a game designed around that
some people just enjoy playing with a massive advantage and the game allows for it
>>125862783
In bloodborne you can make one arcane build.
In Souls, you can make at least 4.
"More varied" my ass.

Thats not its intended design. They cheated to do that. You can be cheap in other ways
>>125862896
SL?
>>125863028
>They cheated to do that
Cheating would be if they actually straight up used CE, but you can beat the entire game at level 1 and get endgame gear on an early game character.
It's the fault of the matchmaking system and general balancing but its not cheating. Again some people are like that
>>125863028
>They cheated to do that
Not necessarily. You can go and beat the game at SL1 so it's not impossible to obtain all the endgame gear legitimately. Thief's Key makes things pretty easy too.
Ultimately it's a fault of the game for allowing it. Blaming anything else is rather silly.
>>125862972
>In bloodborne you can make one arcane build.
This has nothing to do with a variety of magic.
Having a dark version of soul arrow/HCSM and samey fire/lighting aoe doesn't make actual gameplay more varied.
One arcane build in BB blows the fuck out all magic playstyles of souls games.
>>125862983

Nope. Being SL1 and killing the Lords is perfectly doable, and once you know where everything is and the boss movesets, almost easy with a little patience.

Gonna keep this str/dex for a while, until I can level up my other stats. would it be worth infusing this scimitar with fire or lightning?
>>125864110
with that faith and int, i wouldnt. you could raw it though
>>125864110
>3 INT
>8 FTH
If you're hell bent on using magic with that scimitar then you're probably better off using a BA on the sinner and turning her old soul into flame weapon. You aren't doing shit with magic or dark damage, and you're not so great with lightning damage. Your fire damage is also bad, but you can apply it with minimal stat investment.
>>125864519
>2attunement
he'd need to roll with that one ritual ring for a slot too
>>125864519
Its just the scimitar str or dex scaling doesn't lower with infusion, so I thought giving it straight up more AR might work, then again, split damage so who knows
>>125863462
sorry to whoever summoned me, im too tired for this shit
>>125864825
The scaling from 18str and 15dex aint shit compared to the base dmg raw would give it, yo. Can always use a palestone later to take it off
>>125862161
that crystal shit made them double immortal for some reason
Rogue gear is actually pretty aesthetic in a sort of "new adventurer in an rpg" way
>>125864621
That's always an option, and if he wanted to get the +1 he could also carry poison or toxic pyromancy.
>>125864825
>the scimitar str or dex scaling doesn't lower with infusion
The letter may not change, but you do sacrifice some scaling with infusion. You also lower the base damage. From the wiki:
>Lightning
>Reduces: Base damage, STR and DEX stat bonuses, damage and aux effects reduction.
The scimitar does get B scaling with its element though, which is nice.
Throwing resin or a magic buff on a weapon is generally a straight upgrade with no consequence. May as well raw up the weapon like the other Anon said and throw some magic on it.
>>125865489
The Crystal is something artificial created by Seath later to gain immortality.

dasdreck: the post
>>125866674
Low weight with high resists works well. Poise only shine in this one if you use great weapons, they take something like half poise damage while mid-swing
>>125866674
>cast Force on a havel
>doesn't stun them
>>125866674
>why can't I poisestab everything to death
Poise is only really useful if you are using heavy weapons because of the way it works in 2.
Honestly neither 1 nor 2 does poise well, 2 does it slightly better at the cost of making a convoluted mess thats a pain to understand
>>125867080
>2 does it better
if im wearing solid plates of armor i shouldnt be staggered by a knife

Debate me.
>>125867212
Nah poise stabs were retarded and its a good thing they are gone in 2.
>>125867080
No, I just don't want to be wearing 17 inches of steel and be stun locked by a tiny slashing katana that should just bounce off
>>125867236
im not saying they werent
but thinking that this is acceptable is
>>125867242
And I don't want DS1 meta PvP of nobody ever attacking because of poisestabs, and so far from what we have seen in the network test its gone in 3 as well, thank fuck for that.
>>125867331
Yeah rolling attacks always stagger unless you are in hyperpoise frames, and you weren't
Again poise in 2 is far better because you can't just facetank every hit from a lighter weapon, poise exists in 2 as a crutch for super heavy weapons and against R1 spammer but there are ways to counter it, R2's and shit like rolling attacks, it is a far better system
Honestly I would prefer no poise, but DS2 poise>DS1 poise
>>125867231
as long as all weapons have hyperarmor in one of their attacks im fine.
Alright, so i want to a Ludwig build
Dark Souls 2 is the only game that has a helmet that resembles a horse, which is the Minotaur helm. Which is great because the archdrake robes look like what Ludwig was wearing. and the moonlight greatsword is in the game so i can scratch that off my list
here's where things get tricky. the only leggings that resemble horse hooves are Havel's, which sucks because it's a different color. I have no idea what can of gauntlets to wear. I was thinking about having the Thorned Greatsword and the claws as his off hand weapons
what gloves should i wear? should i use anything in my left hand? should i use any spells? do you think this build will look silly? I'm trying to do Ludwig justice
>>125867508
You're not going to get a viable Ludwig cosplay out of DS1. Just go human Ludwig in DS2.
>Powerstance Ice rapier with a straight sword

>>125867778
congratulations anon, you found the build for you
>>125867759
i want to do horse Ludwig, which is why i said i needed to wear the minotaur helm, which is in dark souls 2
appreciate it though
also, why the chaos robe? the archdrake robe looks more accurate
>>125867508
This is a very long shot but see what happens if you break havels legs, as I recall broken equipment looked different but I never did it with havels stuff, the acid pits of shaded ruins or whatever should work just fine for testing it
any tactics to make forlorn spawn more? i haven't beaten the covetus demon and i heard the spot behind the giant in the poison pool makes him spawn
>>125867508
smelter leggins look like hoofes cath leggins icronclad havels mastodon
gauntlets don´t matter much since the robes cover them

spells maybe some aoe ones

>>125868098
Not even sure but from personal experience he seems to spawn more if he I am fully hollow
>>125868098
Just play through the game, he'll show up enough times eventually.
>>125868080
>>125868117
damn, this looks silly
i was thinking the black gloves because they are they only ones that look sharp and pointy
the robes will look smaller when i wear them right? they're just weirdly blown up in this picture?
>>125868098
He spawns when you're having a shit time, like that one time when you have 100000000000 souls on a bloodstain that supposedly easy to retrieve, but he spawns and fucks you up so it's like 100000000000000 souls gone 4ever!

Check the wiki, it has all the spots where they spawn
>>125868345
Depends but do take the slimmest body type

stop using drake sword and knight shield. learn to roll and get good.
hey /dsg/! I've been away for about a year or so, do we know who this guy from the gameplay reveal trailer is? he looksspooky
>>125869053
There is this trick called getting better at the game.
>doing red sign duels whilst listening to soul blade soundtrack dressed as cervantes
its like i'm really a kid again
>>125869218
holy shit
how did you know I was using those
>>125869160
holy SHIT son, git gud, I mean how are you even gonna beat Anor Londo if you are such a sissy? You even got Solaire to beat the boss for you faggot.
>>125869223
No, but it's probably an npc.
>>125869223
probably a covenant leader
>>125869285
I can't summon him because I don't have humanity or something
>>125869272
because they are noob bait weapons. get any weapon you like and upgrade it to +5 at andre and try again.
I just finished dark souls and I loved the lore.
What would you guys rate the lore of DaS 2 ? Is it shit?
what's the best PvP greatsword? Standard greatsword? Crypt blacksword?
>>125869272
>Using a guide in your first playthrough
>>125869457
Overall lore
Breddy ass
Has some nice characters though but its mostly in the DLC
>>125869530
you dont need guide to get drake sword when the bridge is littered with messages to attack the tail.
>Anytime I invade at Dragon Shrine
>Host and his boytoy sitting at the bonfire
They hiding from me or greathammer guardians?
>>125869550
>Nice characters in the dlc
I remember only one and it was in the ivory king.
why is this set so horribly proportioned
>>125869582
I doubt most players know you can bait the drake down the bridge or that it's possible to shoot it with arrows if they didn't read a guide, at least the first time around. Most die to his fire breath attack and decide to avoid him.
>>125869053
The key to making gargoyles easier is to kill one before the other spawns. If you haven't upgraded your weapons, do so at Andre.
>>125869724
Why do your roommates explode?
>>125869819
but isnt the drake sword better than any weapons I can upgrade right now?
>>125869676
>ivory king
>raime
>drakeblood knights
>all the 3 queens in general
>Venrdic's bonus dialogue
>>125869457
Overall it's kinda interesting like DS1.
However, despite DS2 having more characters, most of them can be described with 1-liners.
>Lucatiel is a fuckup
>Leingrast is a dad
>Cholanne love stones
>Giligan is a greedy dick
>Pate hates Creighton
>Creighton hates Pate.
>etc.
>>125869972
no it's shit because it has no stat bonuses.
>>125869972
If you have low stats then it's likely. Look at the numbers in your character sheet.
>>125870054
You can do that for any character in either game.
Is there a way to see if a weapon has stat bonuses in-game???
>>125869053
well summon solaire
lock on and walk in circles around them
drakesword is a good weapon for the first parts of the game but you won´t learn much about the game itself using it
>>125870054
same can be said about ds 1 but people
interpret much shit into them
>>125870118
so what weapon should I upgrade and use now?
>>125870263
But in 2's case it accurately describes their character with nothing more to gleam.
>>125870395
So lenigrast isn't a blacksmith?
You can look anything look stupid if you try hard enough
>>125869053
I summoned Solaire and it was all over in like 20 seconds you can summon Lautrec too if you free him then talk to him at the firelink shrine
>>125870283
read the items description
DS1's UI is atrocious and is really poor for comparing items
Do weapon arts seem useful? I didn't get to play the stress test.
>>125870860
yeah on my first play through I couldn't understand shit and had to search up everything. Damn the UI is trash but everything else in that game is amazing.
>>125871178
they're cool but they're kinda stupid also, the usual animu secret bloodline technique
When using bows (in DaS1) which attribute is most important?
>>125872150
DEX. Or STR & DEX if you're using the composite bow.
>>125872150
Is there really any reason to use a bow other than to lure enemies out?
>>125872227
I guess I should have clarified the attributes of the bow itself.
>>125872390
Playing a different way?
>>125872390
I did a bow-only run of DaS1 and it made bosses like artorias and kalameet easy as fuck
>>125872390
A good bowi.e. BBPmakes some of the more tedious enemies way easier to deal with. Even if they are toned down from their glory days in DeS, they're still really strong, and infinitely easier to use than throwing knives
>find a cool sword
>it always needs faith or intellect
Being quality is suffering
I want a maximum fun build for DaS2.
Suggestions?
I hope DS3 has a loliwitch like Beatrice was supposed to be.
>>125872390
The Composite Bow or Black Bow of Pharis do really great damage depending on the arrow and if you use Power Within.
>>125873221
maybe Miyazaki doesn't want to make his berserk rip offs that obvious
>>125861846
>plan on doing a faith paladin build eventually
>don't get around to it until after its nerfed into nothingness

>>125873221
I just hope it actually has a witch, unlike DaS2. Also slutty witch robes
>>125855302
I haven't seen screen tearing that bad since the war.

please give me approval here
>>125874025
So if I wanted to emulate a Chaos Witch, what would that build look like?
>>125872092
So are they basically something like special R2's of some weapons?
>Nito is the first of the dead
>he's made out of skeletons
>skeletons confirmed for alive
>>125869136
Wrathful Axe/Chariot Lance goes with the fashion, but you need a shield like Drakekeepers Shield to be gud.

Yeah, just powerstance some shit for fun
>Blue flames
>Smelter Swords
>Bone Fists
>Avelynn
>Sanctum Crossbows

>>125874805
That's viable as well. Look, honestly, armor doesn't matter as long as you don't get hit, especially in PVE. Fashion is the no.1 stat.

>>125875780
Thanks ive seen this one but heard it had a lot of flaws does anybody know if there is a newer one?
>>125869053
Get a bow.
Composite bow from New Londo
or
Shortbow/longbow if you're dex
When the two shot up and gang up on you, bait them into fire breathing you. Then fire away at their heads.
>>125870263
yea but theres nothing much other than that about this npcs
>>125876117
So why even equip it if you don't use it?
>>125876168
Nah, I think that's the last version of it before DaS2 came out so everybody moved on to this and never updated the DaS1 chart.
>>125855302
how do i fucking open this shit theres no exe in the files
>>125876382
for moments when you dont intend to backstab obviously.
>>125876408
Speaking of which, this one really needs an update too.
>>125869272
>>125869364
What's wrong with Knight Shield other than weight?
I personally go with Wooden shield since it has nice stats and 1.5 weight. And at that point of the game reducing weight is my main concern so I can still fast roll.
>>125876408
Yeah I was hoping there was one like that. Thanks anyway
>>125876489
>not intending to backstab
that's retarded and you know it
>>125876524
The Knight Shield is quite possibly the worst 100% block shield in the game. It weighs too much and you can find like 5 other shields early on that are lighter than it and much more viable for general gameplay with about the same stability.
The Spider or Heater shields are mainly the ones I'm talking about, Spider has 100% poison block making it nigh-essential for Blighttown and the Heater shield weighs only 2 units.
>>125876668
well by that logic every weapon that's not chaos rapier, great club, demon great axe or dark silver tracer is shit tier.
>>125876816
Dark Silver Tracer is pretty shit for backstabs as a dex weapon compared to stuff like the Great Scythe desu
>>125876524
It's not a bad shield for early game but blocking isn't recommended for the gargoyles. Most of their attacks are fat enough to drain your stamina.
>>125876687
Not that guy, but I like how it looks.
>just discovered the fun and hilarity that is greatbows
holy shit this thing is great
>knocking every enemy on their ass and flinging them off ledges

I've been using a +15 large club and +5 occult great club on my str/faith build for a while (at 40/40, das1). Is there any other fun str weapons I should get/upgrade that aren't quite as slow?
>>125877134
Pre DLC greatbows used to be the best close range weapons in the game. Then they killed the tracking.
>>125877332
manserpent greatsword
>>125877332
DS1's Butcher knife has a really fun(ny) 1HR2 where you do a running chop. Other than that, it's actually quite a fast but big weapon.
>get into human form
>summon solaire
>still die at the gargoyles
why is this game so hard
>>125875780

>>125873630

>>125878085
DS1/DS2? For DS2 they added a lot of bullshit areas like areas with Nadalia's buffs, areas where you will be mobbed by 3~4 enemies, dick NPC Phantom(MAAAALLLLDROOOOON), DOSE FUCKING PORCUPINES ROLLIN' LIKE SANIC, etc.
If you're good, just run in and whack their butts. If you're not...cheese it.

The IKUGS is just a gimmick weapon, right?
>>125880716
All UGSes are but it has bleed and bonus magic damage so its less so than some others
>>125880895
Even PUGS is a gimmick? But it's so bad, is that the gimmick?
>>125881235
Well they are all bad so they are only good for gimmicks
IKUGS has the bleed + laser
FUGS has the blocking attacks
>>125880716
I use a combo of spears/throwing knives to make the enemy sick and tired of me poking so they charge in for close combat, when I swap to IKUGS and unload on em. With it's range it's basically guaranteed to get at least 1 hit in, even if they realized they fucked up and roll back.
So yes, it's a gimmick weapon that can land a free 1k damage if you use it well
What's the most dickass DaS 2 build? I want to see those hait messages coming at me.
I already bought dung pies and corrosive urns and am currently running a dex build. What's a good weapon to infuse with poison?
What do we know about the Sunken King other than that he's a dragon hugger?
>>125881928
Unless they patched it, channeler's trident is amazing with poison. Otherwise spotted whip.
Is it likely that the upgrade to SotFS will be included in the steam winter sale, or should I just go ahead and get it now for 20 bucks? Admittedly I've never paid any attention to these sales before.
so I want to do some cosplay build/run but I don´t want to finish half of the game only for the gear to get started. Can I just spawn the items that I need with CE in DS 2 offline mode without getting soft banned when I go online again since I read pretty mixed stuff about getting banned like altering sm is bad pick hacked weapons and stuff. Also is there simple tutorial for it?
>>125881928
Poison infused, powerstanced Spotted Whips. Wear the sanctum soldier gauntlet and the rat covenant ring for the extra poison AR boost too, you will guaranteed poison anybody with two hits/one L1, sometimes even one R1 if they have no poison defense.
Most of the time people who get poisoned panic like idiots and try to moss, which is a bad idea because you can punish that easily. What they should be doing instead is estusing.
>>125881928
Sanctum mace.
>>125881928
>What's the most dickass DaS 2 build? I want to see those hait messages coming at me.

Im going for a sort of generic armored knight build. Is it worth it to take a one handed weapon and make it raw so i can avoid putting points in str/dex and focus on vit/endurance?
>>125882051
In Scholar of the First Sin, CE use is very heavily punished so I wouldn't advise it if that's the version you're running. They really stepped it up from vanilla DaS2.
>>125882423
But the monscim was nerfed into uselessness long ago. Better off using a Target Shield.
>>125882423
I fear people are too used to that to really get mad anymore. I was looking for something more nasty where I can spam gestures while watching them die.
>>125881382
They aren't bad, you just need to git gud by blockstun cancelling, quick attacking, recovery cancelling, animation cancelling, spacing and smart usage of the swing arc.
>>125882556
yes it is scholar version mind to explain why?
>>125882756
how the fuck is your stamina that autistic high are you max level ?
>>125883032
Not really any explanation, they just cracked down on CE usage. In vanilla DaS2 the only things that would get you softbanned were obvious edietd discrepancies between your stats/sm/etc and anything else that obviously wasn't legit like having +14 Poison infused Binoculars while you could do anything else you wanted like flip on infinite health and instakill scripts.
In SotFS however, many people report getting softbanned for having items at a point in the game they aren't able to acquire them yet, like giving yourself the Agape Ring right at the start. I personally got softbanned because I changed my fucking name by 2 characters. It doesn't matter if you do the cheating offline first either, because when you log back into online the server will check your last save and your new edited save and if there's illegal differences there you'll get slapped with a bun.
Just don't do it man, play through the game normally with a legit Agape Ring if you wanna twink.
>>125882756

>>125883840
Generally, if you're going into one flavor of magic, (like sorcery), you'd want to infuse a weapon with the relevant element (faintstone) and enchant it with a similar buff (magic weapon). For the Str and Dex requirement, you only need to have enough to wield it.
For specific weapons, especially those with innate elemental damage, you might want to check out wikidot's pages for the stats. Some of them produces weird scaling when infused. e.g. http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/watcher-greatsword
>>125886101
I'm still impressed that he wasn't an actual apostle
>>125886127
So I should ignore str/dex scaling when infusing weapons?

If I'm using a butcher's knife and have 40 strength and 35 faith, should i infuse it with lightning or will I lose more damage than I gain with sunlight blade's added buff?
>>125886892
>fanciful bullshit and cocky backstepping
>still gets phantom range stabbed
You aren't an observant one..
What's a good SM range to get mostly "real" invasions in SotFS? I want people who are actually trying to get through the level and will pull out all the stops. Phantom summoning, seed of the tree of giants, chugging like there's no tomorrow etc.
>>125887695
physical scaling is so useless you should always infuse. it's the biggest reason after soul memory why the game is so shit.
>>125887957
I bet if you wait for the winter sale, you'll get a ton of new people in NG who have no idea whats going on
>>125887535
So whats a quality build look like?
>>125887989
So your biggest problems are nitpicks?
how do you get out of a zweihander stunlock? couldn't block, backstep, roll, strafe, or backpedal away. he just spammed 5 sweeping swings into my 53 poise, none of which I could seem to recover from. Happened twice in a row now. I'm actually kind of mad.
>>125888502
>completely changes gameplay and online interaction
>nitpicks
ok
>>125886475
That seems to be the generally the case especially if you did not invest much stats in dex/str. The best way to check is to go to McDuff with the item you want to infuse EQUIPPED. Then switch the right panel to this screen showing the total attack rating of your weapons. The values shown are affected by the scaling, BNS stats and your gear as well (i.e. +int +fai headgear, rings, etc.) but NOT buffs like flame weapon.
In this screen you can see that my magic blue flame gains extra damage if i change it from magic>fire. Although it gets a little more complicated than that when you factor in crystal magic weapon and the fact that i'm going to use it as a catalyst.
How many cosplay builds /dsg/ tried in total?

>>125888707

>>125887957
I seem to be getting a lot of online activity (coop and getting invaded) in the 3~5 mil range within the DLC areas.
Just don't invade Shulva. You may get some free kills from the generous gravity god but the fact that you can't trigger the platforms means that you could end up in a stupid situation.
>>125888707
2h UGS takes 76 poise. Just toggle your weapons to glitch out of stun. You can even toggle out and parry the next swing if you get good at it.

currently using it right now
>>125885434
yes please
>>125890504
It's really REALLY good for the early game, but in the lategame and in PvP it's useless because you can just put on Havel's ring and get more poise AND defenses instead with the best armors.
>>125890649
nah, it's really easy to get past the sweis moveset, and if i actually manage to somehow get hit by it, i just toggle escape.
also i got enough poise to poise-bs trough a swei
giantdad is a trash build
>>125890504
I dig it, it's an okay early game ring if you haven't got any alternatives.
The Blue tearstone ring on the other hand is definitely lame.
>>125890821
Anyone can easily parry/bs the game if they know what they're doing, but the build is obviously not trash. Get off your high horse.

I disagree. Big weapons are more viable in DaS1 than DaS2 at least, in DaS2 the kings of PvP are straightswords and rapiers and you'll get fucked if you use an UGS.

maybe if you just spam r1 the whole time
>>125891637
mmm they're pretty bad in most honestly haha but atleast in 2 you could hypothetically use jesters for a competitive build. Also the tracking jump attacks help big weapons a lot as well. Also they have several unparryable attacks which is nice.
Why do you think they're better in 1?
>>125891990
it's up to you
>>125892130
pretty bad in both*

>chaos rapier
Is this a new thing? I've never heard of it. Why take one of those into a fight when you'll lose your buff on the falchion if you swap to it to backstab? Is the backstab damage over a buffed falchion really that more significant? Also why not make a chaos estoc or ricard's rapier or something instead of the regular rapier?
Whats the best weapon for regular pve?
There's nothing in any game that comes close to a Großmesser is there?
>>125892662
Longbow.
>>125891656
why not sl 125?
>>125892662
In DaS2? The craftsman's hammer or any strike damage weapon really.
In DaS1? Halberds, specifically the black knight one.

Go away mr "Rapiers can't stagger alonne knights" you don't know shit still.
Should I just keep dumping points into vit from here or is it worth going up to 50 end/str/fai? I've since switched to sanctus for my shield.
>>125893891
swap father mask for mother mask
>>125889058
Cool, thanks
Are there actual hacks for DS2 on PS3? I keep getting this person on invasions who is regenerating ~150 hp per second without ever using a lifegem or miracle, and no regen equipment that I could see
>>125893891
From 41 to 99 give very little return for STR/DEX
Going from 40 to 50 will up you STR bonus by just 3%
On the other hand, VIT/INT/FAI have good return until level 50
END does nothing after 40 except raise your equip load
>>125894423
there has been hacks since DeS i've heard
>>125856737
Xbox and PC use the same save files btw
Where should I drop my sign for gaping dragon?
>>125892337
one of the highest critical damage weapons in the game for no stat investment and 1.5 units so doesn't hurt having it in case you land a parry. same with daggers in ds2.
as for ricard and estoc they have the additional critical damage rapier does.
>>125894710
*dont have that is
>>125894423
Yes, there are some cheats.
>>125891417
ds2 ruined you
>>125894682
Near Solaire's sign or at the bonfire are generally good locations.
>>125894682
At the depths bonfire or near the fog gate. Recommend the fog gate if you don't want to deal with going down to the basiliks, etc.
how do i get rid of these empty weapons, i am tired of accidentally equip these and triggering a watchdog alert
oh and it's from a megamule
>>125891417
cmon man haha
>>125861667
The undead curse has nothing to do with humanity. The undead are a result of attempting to link the flame, and they become hollow after repeatedly dying until they go insane. The darksign is not a result of a lack of humanity, it is a result of Lord fuckery.
>>125895180
Feed them to Frampt?
Change them to real weapons with CE?

>>125895385
>>125895452
oh ok thanks, i replaced them with CE
i didn't think of that
So whats the average level at the end of a full dark souls run? No dlc but assume i fight all the optional bosses.
>>125895909
80-100
>>125895909
basically >>125895968 but less if you spend hundreds of thousands on sorcery/miracles/pyro

Oh lord, I didn't realize that bonfire intensity carried over to new game plus. I have tons of places raised to ng+6 or higher from farming
>>125896529
So Miyazaki = Vendrick?
He was supposed to relight the first flame/make ds2 but walked away from it. Then his college/brother Aldia, the scholar of the first sin had to step up.
>>125897594
>Then his college/brother Aldia, the scholar of the first sin had to step up.
That part doesn't really work because Aldia does not advertise for relighting the flame
>>125896553
I have the majula bonfire on 17 for shits
Fire or lightning infuse for my red rust scimitar?
>>125898159
dark
>>125897774
Aldia guides the player into questioning his/her decision to take on the throne. Like reeeealllllly, do you want to deal with this mess Vendrick/Miyazaki left behind and enjoy the game, or do you just walk away because you feel it's ashit???
>>125898159
Anything but Fire.
>>125898392
Is dark actually good or is that a meme answer?
Is Dark Souls fine to play without a controller?
>>125897594
>>125896529
>>125897774
deepest lore
>>125898829
Not really. It's good enough to manage, but controller's ideal. It's like difference between playing on 15-20 fps and 60 fps.
>>125899000
If I get one, should it be an Xbox controller or a different kind?
>>125898396
Also vendrick/miyazaki's last dialogue tells the player that he can light the flame, repeat the legend in ng+ bla bla but then he asks if that's your only choice. What's he's really saying is that you can drop DaS2 and go play bloodborne, your ONLY OTHER choice. (And DeS and Das but unoe)
>>125899205
Which ever controller you like best; DS4, DS3, Xbone, Xbox, Wii Pro, I think I even heard of guy who got a DS2 to work on PC.
>>125884916
>Upskirt Gwyndolin
>>125897594
it all comes together
>>125898748
it's great dude if you have good enough stats to scale with dark
if you do, it's the best
had a build that allowed me to have over 650 damage rating with the claymore
>>125899529
Oh I just checked it scales on the lower of your int or faith my int is 1 so I guess I'm fucked kek
>>125899864
How do you even get 1 int
>>125899864
yeah, dark is only extremely good for hexers at high levels
but if you are going to do pve or fight in the arena you should just put shitton of points into fth and int and you'll get insane damage
What game has the better selection of dark colored plate armor, or cloth over chainmail?
>>125901578
That's a really weirdly specific question. Couldn't you just look at the armour sets on the wikis to find the one that suits you?
>>125899205
I would get a DS3 and use that with the SCP driver
Im actually using a PS1 dualshock controller with a cheap adapter so if you have an old PS2 getting a cheap usb adapter might be a good idea.
The thing about the 360 controller is you will have to switch between the triggers and the bumpers a lot and the bumpers are not very good. The thing about the bumpers is you will have to spread your index finger to its limit of motion to hit them. With a dualshock controller your natural resting position is with your index fingers on the R1 L1 positions so to press the other shoulder buttons you are closing your fingers together it just makes it more comfortable when the game requires you to alternate frequently.
>>125903394
if you mean when using the default settings, sure, but I switched my strong attack and parry to the bumpers, its way better
>being mobbed by 3 monsters and a guy

Are you actually new, or ironically dressing that way?
>>125877856
This might be a little late, but I don't think I want another heavily armored character after that full Havel's garbage. Other than some of the armor pieces that looks prettyfunthough, so I guess I'll see what sticks. Thanks anon.
>>125903798
fucking chad
>>125904826
>9gag frog
>>125903756
I guess you could do that
I would still recommend a DS controller for its dpad though the 360's is terrible for anything else you would want to use a controller for
>>125905115
I can't deny that, I got the 360 controller for free though so I'm stubborn about it
>>125898159
I use lightning.
So lightning.
>>125898464
Why no love for fire?
Also, for a dark infusion would 30/30 give me good scaling?
does dork souls 2 work with a 144hz screen or will I have to limit fps to 60 in order for shit to not be fucked?
>>125906354
60 cap
>>125906015
yes
but if you don't want to spend too much leveling
just go for fth 40 lightning
>>125906996
I always roll lightning and have never used hexes.
Want to give that a try for pvp.
Also, using the fume sword too want to scale with it nicely.
No idea for backup weapon
>>125907174
bandit axe and only use running attacks
on my old build i think i managed to get 600 damage on a dark infused bandit axe
>>125904489
What's wrong with the red rust scimitar? It's got long reach for it's speed
Also
>no summon/invade red icon thing
>get invaded anyway
wat
>>125876524
Heater Shield, that's what.
Knight does do the most damage of all medium shields fully upgraded, though, so it's pretty handy if you're mainhanding it and have it elementaled.
>>125907410
RRscimitar is my like my adopted child.
I love it, just not as much as my MLGS. But fuck I adore it.
>>125907382
Do you remember your approx. stats?
Whats the point of a fireball if it sputters out like cum from a tiny limp penis
Why is there so much hate on fire infusions?
Isnt the infusion+flame weapon about as good as the fire or dark for pvp/pve?
>>125908320can't take the heat
>>125908320
Why the love of infusions anyways, how about some weapons for us guys with no INT or FAI?
>>125908093
nah but just go with dark clutch ring and ring of the blades with 40/40 str/dex and 40/40 in fth/int
alot of levels yeah but i don't really care if i am overleveled in the arena due to soul memory
people who try to force level caps in dark souls 2 are autistic
>need 2 chunks quick
>think "oh i know, i'll stand in the tower and kill invaders"

NPC invaders don't give a shit about how many effigies you burn
I like to make a pyro build using a fire infused battle axe with flame weapon.
My main weapon is the MLGS since I get 40+ int for pyro buff. But I use no spells and only pyro spells pretending im a fire mage.
Fuck its good to be cool.
>>125909508don't you mean hot

Playing through DS2 right now (SOTS). I'm trying to do an STR/FAITH build. Don't care that much about pvp. So far I'm using mace +4, and lighting/pyromancy spells (I like to have both). Which weapons should I use ? Should I chose a A scale str weapon like the archdrake mace ? Trying to do a cleric character
>>125912979
The hood would be good too if it applied the same effect that the invading forlorn have where your face becomes fog
>>125913159
Archdrake Mace is not good IIRC.
Do i really have to treck all the way from the bottom of the swamp back up the way i came if i want to leave blighttown?
>>125913094
>Arty's skinny jeans crush your ankles into toothpicks
>>125913193
I don't know how to feel about the hood itself, I guess females can finally have an actual black hood instead of a mask.
use the elevator next to the second bonfire, and climb your way up to Valley of Drakes/New Londo.

You know what I would love in DSIII more than anything? That anytime I get a piece of armor or weapon that I already have in my inventory, the duplicate will be sent to me storage box immediately so I don't have to deal with all this clutter.
I just want good inventory management.
Are female undead gross?
Where does Priscilla poopy?

>>125914243

How about just having them stack like consumables? Actually, that probably wouldn't work with durability.

I havent bothered checking out gameplay for DaSIII, does it have the annoying backstab system like BB or has it reverted back to the old system?
>>125915418
backstabs are dead on pvp
>>125915169
"Works" is relative, is a decent way to poison? Sure, but Spotted Whips are going to be better. You don't need any specific build for it, maybe 40 DEX its got pretty shitty STR scaling.
>>125913146
>not flat foot
Into le trash it goes
>>125915521
I never really cared for PvP and avoided it as much possible, are they dead for single player/co-op too?
>>125915418
They made a completely new backstab system. It's closer to DaS and DaS2. Your backstab will become a normal attack if you miss it.
>>125915573
Nice, thanks.
>>125915754
Thanks for the info mate, I'm glad hearing this.
>>125915746
they are slightly less easy to get then DS1
>>125915959
I can't figure out how to properly backstep to save my life on DaS1. Even harder than that?
>>125915829
Just put on your typical Poisoning equips, Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets, and Crest of the Rat.
>>125916090
>Get behind them
>Grind against their ass to get them in the mood
>Press R1 to jam it in
>>125916212
The thing is, it seems that when you are 180° behind them, it doesn't work. You have to be at a certain fucked up angle. In PvE it's even more bonkers.
>>125916203
Once they are poisoned, I should swap to another weapon right? Any suggestions?
Do I need to do anything special to get these crow monstrosities to drop darkmoon ears? I have max discovery already
>>125915931
I think i've found my fashion souls.

You can get going since I'm pretty sure it keeps the poison build up, up. Switch to whatever is your usual weapon, or whatever you're using that playthrough.

What's your favourite weapon to use, /dsg/?
Not just stat wise, but gameplay wise too.
For me, it's the Black Knights Sword.
Too bad I only ever got the fucking thing as a Thief, and never got it afterwards on other saves.
wait, there's not a bonfire before this?
>>125919594

Can hexes take me through the entire game plus DLC if I just have minimum requirements for weapons?
I'll either use the great scythe or something around 14/14 in str/dex
I'll have infinite herbs or close to it since I can buy them.
Or should I just respec for the DLC and go pure quality and no magic?
>>125920890
You can beat all the DLC with just hexes if that's what your asking, its going to be harder than the base game because of the way encounters are designed and the levels are laid out but its perfectly doable.
>>125920890
Definitely. I haven't done the DLC but I'm well into the main game with hexes and a capable weapon with low stat reqs
>>125920093
Not really?
For some of us who it's literally impossible for to die because we're actually decent at video games it's another fun way to fuck around

>>125921050
Not just hexes - I'll use pyro/miracles/sorcery but I meant that I was told magic in general isn't worth it for the DLC - I'll gladly adapt and use AoE and spam alluring skulls if I have to. I just want to know if I'll be shit outta luck if I have high attunement/int/faith
>>125921070
What's your main spells you use for PVE?
>>125921349
2x darks beads is a must have
>>125921349
Don't worry you can beat the DLC just fine with spells, it's just that you can't cheese ever encounter by spamming soul arrows from outside an enemies agro range.
>>125921349
My attunement is kinda low so I can't fit a lot, but at the moment I have
>2 sets of dark orb (48 uses)
>dark weapon (5 uses)
>resonant soul (24 uses)
>dark fog (4? uses)
Mostly because I have a boner for spamcasting at range so I need a lot of uses, if that's not your style then you can probably get some better spells like great resonant soul and resonant weapon or summat.
>have 600 AR
>barely hit 200 on someone in drangelic mail

what if it was like oblivion? if it is exactly the same (same item, same upgrade, same durability, same infusion for weapons) the items get bunched together. do we have any insight in ds3’s upgrade system by the way?
>>125921603
How do you tackle bosses? Do you spam spells?
I got used to just rolling around and prefer melee with bosses but worry I might be underpowered if i don' have dex/str or would buffing with dark weapon be enough
>>125914272
squats on the plank
What's /dsg/ up to?
Post a screenshot :3
>>125922535
Of course, I absolutely spam resonant soul at them. Then dark orb if I run out, but I usually use most of those on mobs before I even get to the boss.
My melee weapon similarly does damage equivalent to 1/8th of most of their healthbars (1/4th for the dual dragonriders boss, idk what the fuck that was about), so if I get bored or just don't get an opportunity to cast at range, then I'll hide under their legs and spam heavy attacks. I'm breezing through the game, it's so fucking easy.
Do I have to invest in intel to make pyro usefull in ds2?
>>125922993
It's pretty lame until you get to drangleic castle.

Eh, I don't really like the notches myself. It's not that i don't see the use in them, it's just that I think it looks cleaner this way.
The saturation is mostly due to sweetfx, I could just change the color slightly in the png but I really love it how it is right now.

I'd like to see an image of that, because I know that the pit with the Dragon Scale is the same pit with the weird tentacle creature in Upper Blighttown, and there's no way that the distance between the weird tentacle creature and the pit-entrance to Blighttown is the same as the pit-entrance and the Gaping Dragon boss room.

It serves no purpose when you never see it. It's like when Dark Souls put random stuff that people would never see around. For some reasons, people like you love that, but then they complain why the framerate is shit even though there are completely useless things like that. I'd rather have better optimization than some stupid ''hidden love'' when it comes to making a fucking video game.

It's some sort of mystical ore that's crafted into weapons to make them better (hence the leveling).
Demon Titanite apparently is what happens when you kill a blacksmith deity that has built some statues out of pure titanite.

Falling in deep water is a bigger threat than either of them. at least the terrain for the second one makes it more challenging

The game already does this ythough. You have to level your catalyst.
>>125947716
Isn't that just the same as DS2 where you can upgrade your spell tool for significantly higher damage and infuse them for higher scaling?
>>125948509
The second area is even worse. Fuck the entire area.
>>125948624
>>125948636
no
in dark souls 2 there is:
>soul arrow
>heavy soul arrow
>great soul arrow
>great heavy soul arrow
i'm proposing that you have one soul arrow, and you upgrade the spell itself to make it do more damage instead of having 90 different spells that all do the same thing with slight damage differences.
>>125948725
It would make sense for it to be in 3, considering they're getting rid of spell uses.
>>125948509
yes shrine of amana is a fucking shit level but
>being so bad that you have to cheese it
JUST
>>125948725
For the great versions of the spell, sure. What that means though is that they need to increase the scaling with the catalyst itself.
The heavy versions of the spell are actually different though. You trade a faster casting time for more damage.
>>125948858
spell trees? kind of like weapon infusions I guess but with spells

Not to mention
>npc summons walk right off the cliffs
>>125948918
What you're suggesting is basically just the same system presented in a different format. The current system requires you to choose between
> higher/lower damage
> slower/faster cast time
> less/more casts (or mana cost)
> utility (homing, aoe, range,etc)

The only thing that really bothers me in ds2 is some of the runbacks to the bosses. The challenge is the bosses but instead you are forced to deal with tedious shit and isn't challenging and only time consuming.
Million knights to get to smelter demon, million knights to get to sir alonne, gauntlet to get to Pepsi Blue™ demon... But Lud and Zal is the most fucking bull shit.

>>125958290
>>125958581
>since it already has a shitty base scaling
That's not necessarily a good thing
Magic/Enchanted/Divine/Occult get better magic scaling if the Normal weapon has good physical scaling
for example:
Enchanted Gargoyle Halberd +5 ends up with E/E/B/- scaling
Enchanted Pharis Bow +5 ends up with E/D/S/- scaling
Pretty much anything with good scaling or good base damage is viable for going Enchanted
I don't think anyone's bothered to figure out if any single weapon gets the most efficient DPS boost from a given path since that's a pretty useless thing to track, and Normal + Buff is stronger anyway

>>125962715
On the ship, there's like a little skyrim alchemist table that lets you drive the ship to the lost bastille.
You can also buy a ring from the cat that allows you to drop in that big pit in majula.
You can also go up the hill to the left of the far fire up to the shaded ruins.

>>125962715
Go past the boss room and use the table there will take you to the lost bastille
FotFG will take you to the bastille too but to a different place
Go the same way you went to get to the dragonslayer from majula and talk to the woman, and cough up 2k souls and that will open up the way to the huntsmans copse
You can buy the cat ring from the cat and jump into the pit in majula and do the grave of saints/gutter
You can go back towards the area where you first started the game and take a right and get to the shaded woods
If you haven't already done it then get to the forst of the fallen giants, its mean to be the first area of the game

There's also a path from majula, in the hills that leads to a building. You can use a fragrant branch on a statue inside to unlock the path to the shaded woods.

Heh well id be damned, took my own picture to notice that. Loving hte game...but this fucking game...infuriating sometimes. The youth of today need more games like this.

Keep in mind that archers lead you perfectly based on the direction and speed you were moving at when they fired. Every time you hear one take a shot, change your speed or movement angle and they should barely miss you.
