You can't start calling everyone names when you are angry you have no valid arguments.

Your sample size on the bridge being? at what SM and NG cycle? The bridge having red invaders does not disprove anything I have said, it is a popular place for fight clubs and the incentive to invade there is another way to increase your rank in BoB and get the glow animations. I don't even understand why you made that point, it is completely irrelevent.

Come on man, try harder.

The first quote about temptations and winged executioner is from the actual game. It's written on one of the gravestones in the area from the network test. One of the other gravestones said "this exile was chased from his homeland and haunted by the black sun".

That and "do this upgrade path" and "get all of X magic" are pretty much every cheevo in both of the DaS games. None of them are really gud, and Knight's Honor in DaS1 is a bitch, I don't remember if 2 has anything similar.
>>
Is there one of those "roll a build" things for DaS1? I know I've seen it for DS2.

Depends on what you find fun. I liked trying to follow the stories of the NPC questlines and maxing out a covenant depends on which covenant you choose. There's no cuhrayzee achievements like smash 1,000 pots or die by doing an emote on a ledge or shit if that's what you're asking

The ideal situation is for DS modders to eventually get so advanced that they create a mod that makes your waifu be raped by every monster and boss when her health gets 0. Custom animations, japanese sex voiceovers, slick new skins. Letting her die sucks, sure, but dying and then seeing her getting brutally raped by all sorts of monsters is terrifying.

Honestly, it would get my dick totally rock hard protecting her in that way. This is my fetish and I expect it to happen somewhere around 2020.

OK, now I hope I've made you learn your lesson.
There are a few number of good/alright bosses in Souls series, and 4skins were _NEVER_ one of them.
On the other hand, there are several categories of shit bosses.
1. Bad
2. Shit.
3. Utter shit
4. 4fags-tier shit.
Here, for everyone's special consideration.
>>
>>126930831
>walkthrough
don't do it, you'll fuck yourself up
the only branch you absolutely need is the one to unlock that petrified woman npc near a gate in majula, the one that gives access to shaded woods
otherwise you get enough for unpetrifying everything eventually
what exactly are you trying to get or do?

there are lots of chosen undeads. in fact, i'd say that any undead with enough determination to not be a hollow is chosen and has the potential to overthrow gwyn. if you ask if it's the main character, it's ambiguous but it probably is the mc. elite knight is the posterboy set and solaire helps with that fight. it could also be ricard.

Neither i just kill everyone and everything, maybe thats a bad strat?

>>126931081
Aside from the one you have to use the branch on to get the key to free Ornifex, there's also a lion blocking a chest that will give you another fragrant branch and some gear in the base game. Since there are 3 petrified lions now I just want to make sure they didn't fuck around with the placement.

If you beat the boss and he puts down a big sign, he won't be able to summon you. Once a boss has been beaten in that area, you can only summon using small signs. Your friend, however, should be able to summon you using a big sign.

Try having you or your friend sit at the bonfire and select "cancel human effigy effect", if the option is there.

2. This boss is universally hated and considered the worst in the entire community, BUT one mentally capped person happened to like it, for what later was driven to suicide
3. Debug-anon (you're fucking based) used to brilliantly troll and bait the mentally capped person, who liked this boss, and so did Menas

DaS1 is a fuck up on PC - with DSfix you can reasonably play it with good graphics at 60 FPS

DaS2 you should get 60 at max. By max I mean at 1920x1080 with all settings on high, except anti-aliasing. But at that resolution it won't make much difference.

Your card is a fair bit stronger than mine and you have a better processor and I usually get at least 60 on max.

I'm doing my first playthrough of DaS 2 vanilla version. I've done until the boss that are 3 really tall guys with long hammers. Looking for a greatsword to do the game with, any recommendations? Is claymore as good as in DaS?
>>
>>126937804

Action games should always be played with a controller pham
>>
>>126937804
It's KIND OF playable if you remap all the keybinds, it took me like an hour to set up but I went through 400+ hours of the game perfectly fine like that.
DaS1's PC controls are MUCH worse, you absolutely need a controller for that shit.

Still I totally recommend that you get a controller.
>>
>>126937804
Nah, KB+M is fine. Recommend rebinding everything to your liking because the default scheme is horrible.

One issue you need to know is that double-clicking introduces an input delay to the mouse buttons. You can disable this from the menu but you need to reset this option every time you boot up the game, despite the options saying that it's disabled.

Shit taste buddy, but the ultimate cheese is still Climax, just get it and get some souls of whoevegave5000souls on your quick bar, cast use soul cast use souls cast most bosses dead.

>>126937804
Options
Rebind strong and light attack to shift + M1/2
Disable double clicking to "ON" exit out and it will ask for a confirmation, say yes
You will have to redo the last part whenever you restart the game because for some reason it defaults to OFF while saying that its ON, all you have to do is load in, open options click right twice while on the setting and exit out while saying yes to the confirmation, it's slightly annoying but shouldn't take more than 4 seconds once you learn to do it, other than that bind around shit as you would want to it's perfectly workable

The biggest differences are no drop-down attacks, and spells just have a mana cost. Mana and health regen come from an item you can farm. Oh, and when you get the Red Hot Demon Soul, give it to the blacksmith to make boss weapons.

I was softbanned on vanilla though for bringing UP my soul memory. But that doesn't carry over to scholar, from what I know.

it doesn't carry over to scholar.

if you want, you can create a copy of your save folder. when or if you get softbanned, you can just replace the softbanned savefile with an old one, and the softban will be gone.

Yeah, I know.

Client side bans are dumb shit, but ya gotta remember, the japs are weird.

Faith builds with a greathammer or a lance are fun for me, UGS builds as well.

There are plenty of fun weapons. Majestic GS (Arty's Sword), Bonefist (has dropkicks and hadoukens), Yorghs Spear, Alonne's Bewitched Sword (it's a sicknasty daikatana with a seppuku move), powerstanced Smelter Swords and so on.
Just what kind of playstyle you want to adapt? Cause almost every weapon type has one or two interesting options.

>>126942394
it is if you don't get one of the rare drops (heide armor)

there's a 5% chance the great lance doesn't drop from the heide knight in the gutter, but you gotta kill him on bonfire intensity 2 to get the lance.
>>
>>126942484
It's a fist weapon1 that has a "eastern martial arts" kind of moveset. Look for yourself:

I just did a powerstance Blue Flame run. It's quite fun moving seamlessly from shooting soul spears to slicing 'n' dicing. Kinda cheesy in PvP against newer players.

However, when you get to the DLCs, you'll be relying more on melee than spells. At that point, it's like a normal powerstance build.

My lightning spear does shit damage and has only 3 uses.
I made a cleric to do a general magic build but ended using melee weapons like my previous builds.

Faith builds got fucked hard in a very early patch, I think the ONLY good lightning spell still in the game is Blinding Bolt/Heavenly Thunder. You're better off using Lightning infusions on a melee build if you still want to be a faith guy, otherwise you'll probably want to go Hexes if you still want to be a pure caster.

Miracles is more of a supplement to melee than the other 3 flavors of magic. That and the damage of miracles was nerfed in 1.08.

You could go pure caster with pyro, sorcery, dark orb by stacking their weaker spells to 30~40 casts. However, you will eventually still need a appropriately infused melee weapon in the DLCs...spells do shit damage against the bosses there.
>>
>>126944967
Heavenly Thunder and Blinding Bolt are one of the few good offensive miracles.
If you wanna go offensive with magic, use hexes and sorceries.
And remember that certain spells are better when used in unlocked mode. You can also manually target your spells with binoculars, as weird as it sounds.

I don't agree, anon, especially since Grass Crest stacks with all of those anyway. 5% physical damage is nothing. Honestly it's one of the best medium shields in the game.
>>
>>126947656
This. There's a reason why it's literally the most used item in the game, Bamco released network charts or something like it and showed something like 92% of all characters having it equipped.

At +14 it has 63 stability as well, which is pretty good too.

>>
>>126947878
Cloranthy uses a ring slot though and we all know how hotly contested those slots are. Shields on the other hand are not nearly as contested. Bloodshield is good but if you aren't actively having someone trying to poison/bleed you it's a strictly inferior shield in every way. Stop being so paranoid about that 5% damage taken, it's seriously nothing, you barely notice it.

Why can nobody dodge me when I have the fss? Am I not yet in the sm tier where people can dodge straight swords? Other weapon classes don't work such a crazy silly amount for me. I can lose with a greatsword and I can only lose with a ugs.

>>126947878
A good showcase for how little that 5% damage is would be the Pure Black DaS1 playthrough, since they use Grass Crest shields. Even when enemies would be OHKO-ing them with a raw hit, they just take a tiny bit of chip damage

Fast roll. It's literally the only attack he has that's any threat (I'm assuming you mean Super Smough), and if you fast roll you just fast roll backwards twice/three times and you should be out of range. Otherwise it's very easy to stay right up on him and melee the shit out of him.

In that case you could just equip havels or whatever you have with the most defense/poise and maybe even the wolf ring if you want to go well over the top, and just poise through all their attacks. If you go with this poise method I would say Super Ornstein would be easier since I think his buttslam is actually weaker.

Wherein lies another problem that's totally my fault. This is my first time playing the game and I wanted a "juggernaut" ish build with BIG AMERICAN DAMAGE and BIG AMERICAN DEFENSE even if at the cost of mobility. What I didn't realize is that equipment load was affected by endurance and not strenght, so I dumped all my stats into strenght and neglected endurance so now I have to be very selective about my equipment. I'm using the Black Iron set with a silver knight shield because a black iron greatshield is past my limit. Havel's armor would also make me all but immobile unless I choose a really weak weapon.

Go back to The parish where Andre the blacksmith is. Go out to the Darkroot Garden > Darkroot basin, all the way through until you reach the tower, and open the door. You'll need the key if you don't have the Master Key though.

So is high soul level DaS2 just "BE A HEXER AND USE DARK WEAPONS" now? Because that's the only people who invade me. It used to be a lot more diverse before SotFS, at least when I played.

I just put on the dark resist+3 ring and kill them anyways because they do shit tons less damage with that ring on.

Don't use magic as your main means of offence, but rather as a supplement.

Infuse a weapon and buff it with a respective buff, offhand your catalyst and use magic as a means to either set up an encounter and give yourself more options.

Magic is fun, but you're going to have a bad time if you think you can just go through the whole game relying entirely on it.

No, it's because nothing aside from helmet/chestpiece matches the rest of your equipment. Like jeez, maybe you shouldn't post your character if you're so anal about every piece of advice you get, be it fashion or stat allocation as this guy pointed out >>12695297.

Maybe because it's next to the dragon covenant NPC and also because it's one of the few places where it won't spawn you miles away from where you placed your sign.

I was really hoping the first bonfire of the Ivory DLC would be the new hotspot but half the time red phantoms end up spawning halfway down the level.

I ran across the bridge and hit al the signs along the way, got 1 small white stone, 3 red and then some guy invaded me too.

But that's just edgelord tier setup, the chest piece is used by every single "I'M SO MANLY" character ever and the helmet and legs don't match it, or eachother.

Gloves are just generic brown gloves that don't even look good alone, let alone with the rest of that set.

Iron Keep bridge became the PVP spot because it starts at a moderate soul level where a lot of people are finally getting their "builds" put together in the normal game.

Then because it's a long but not too narrow bridge to fight on with only one place you can fall off.

If you cross the bridge you get a small arena with two little dips in the ground for cover from spells/arrows.

At least that's why I think it became the normal PVP area.

Oh, that explains why I saw someone playing like this when I was doing Havel cosplay one time.

Thing is, I only really use the shield as a means to hard counter magic or block the occasional blow, so I was just swatting him with free aimed swings instead.

Yeah, invading is really fun, but it's a fucking shame that in order to invade first I have to go fight other people who are way more set up to gank then I am in the blood arena.

I mean, am I an asshole for believing there should be sport in it? I mostly use a darkwraith RP build and I get constantly matched up against people in crazy minmaxed armor and turbo buffed poking weapons who will actually run away and heal if I manage to get an advantage on them with my half upgraded gear. Would sell my anus for a non-consumable invasion item.

And it's no wonder there's going to be people minmaxing and playing to win the arena because any losses count against you ranking up. It's not 500 wins to rank 3, it's 500 more wins than losses.

If you just want to invade just inject some Collector's Edition.

Don't play magic. Magic in any game designed like this is bad. It cheapens the pve experience and it's useless in pvp.

At best, you can play some kind of spellsword build where you get a weapon that scales with your magic stat like the moonlight greatsword or the crypt blacksword and mostly use that.

Get some pyromancy in there too, grab a side weapon like a rapier or your starting dagger and either buff it or go magic/enchanted route as backup

What? High level/soul memory magic can do half or more of someone's health in PVP because medium/heavy armors have very little magic resistance and if they have no int/faith they have no character stats for resistance either. Soul spears and shit will fuck your day up in PVP. Homing soul masses(Crystal is best) combined with soul greatsword in PVP is strong as fuck. Use ranged shit until they get close and dodge your soul mass, then soul greatsword them for a chunk of their health then recast soul mass while you get out of range.

Strike damage is still the best against every enemy and magic, lightning, dark and fire will do less damage against the DLC monsters and bosses. Fume knight is difficult, but a fun challenge.

>>126964564
Just don't mess with your SM or level so that it the relation between SM and level becomes something that would otherwise be impossible. Also no adding 999999x of an item, since the item limit is 99. Other than that, just create a copy of your savefile. Since the bans are client side, you can just replace the banned savefile, should you get softbanned. Have fun anon.

The problem with magic is that it's very easily circumvented with something anyone with half a brain can do: roll through it. Even burst damage opening strategies won't work out all the time either.

Magic is best treated as a supplement, if you get very comfortable with a handful of weapons and sprinkle some magic in there (mixing homing souls arrows and spears can be rather humorous), you'll get really nice results.
>>
>>126964881
But you're literally never going to hit someone who isn't retarded.

Magic is so easy to avoid that you can easily dodge someone's spells 100% while focusing on fighting someone else. At best you hope to be an annoyance before they roll through your shit into melee range and rape you.

This is what I pretty much always do. If you like strength weapons pump strength first with just enough dex for what you need otherwise vice versa. You don't need spells but the variety is fun and SM allows you to waste some points, so if you want a couple attunement slots go for it. Put whatever you can spare into vgr, adp and end. The DLCs are better than the main game so have fun.

Part of that is having more rings that are useful to begin with though.
>>
>>126965385
It's quite literally the best ring in the entire game.
>>
>>126966443

Yes. I hope it won't return in 3. I hope they'll remove mandatory rings like fap too.

that's kinda the thing

dragons fucking over everything in front of it and the gauntlet to even the fuken dragon is shite with not only normal enemies, but also the heide silverbacks

they don't even drop the sword

I'll just cheap the dragon out hopefully
>>
>>126965001
summon soliare he really helps in the first part by keeping one of them off of you while you deal with the other

It only took me 3 tries to beat them my first playthrough the first time I died I killed O first then died to the butt stomp attack the second time I killed S first and died to the butt stomp attack last time I killed O first then hit and run S to make sure I was far enough away if he tried to do the butt attack

Remember the one you leave alive will heal in the second part so only focus on one
>>

The heide knights have a 5% chance to drop either the weapon or a piece of armour.

in dark souls 1 is it possible to magic buff or item buff an enchanted weapon? I'm asking for my sorcerer that I mentioned earlier in the thread.

is it best to use an enchanted weapon or a +15 weapon?

Normally no but there's some glitch you can do that will let you do it I think.

It's like Donald, but spell it Domal.
>>
>>126969305
You can't buff weapons on fire/lightning/enchanted/etc path, and a number of other weapons can't be buffed either. General rule is if it has more than just raw damage it's a no go.
+15 with a spell buff (crystal magic weapon and so forth) is arguably better for pvp but your mileage on that in pve might vary because of limited castings/slots. You could always upgrade one weapon on the normal path and then keep fire/lightning/whatever with you if you run into a roadblock
>>
Where are the best places in DS2 to do coop at SL50? I got some people in Bastille and Flame Tower but about every 5 minutes i get summoned if i get lucky
>>
>>126969436

the sealer in new londo ruins pronounces domhnall's name when he returns to firelink shrine. talk to the sealer after you defeat the 4 kings and he'll return to firelink. talk to him at firelink and he'll have a bit of dialogue for every npc
>>
>>126936337
probably something to do with the four kings cunt and her art.

Less of a difficulty spike and more of a shitty job of collisions. 92 agility is the lowest i can go without taking a hit in that fight without shielding.

No real idea for the range but
1. Go away from the bonfire, you can be anywhere in the castle and still trigger the thing (I like sitting at the captain + gargoyle area)
2. Keep putting the sign down literally every summon I have gotten has been no more than 20 seconds after placing the sign

150 at the moment, I'll probably go up to SL175 but I'm debating 200 too. I want to dump more points into INT and FAI and spread some points between DEX and STR so I'm not just limited to longsword and rapiers, however I'd prefer to keep myself somewhat squishy and light so I don't just have my cake and eat it.

I don't know how the hell I managed to hit rank 3 in BoB pre-DLC with my SL120 variant. It had 20 VIT and 10 END.
>>
>>126974567
I'm level 130, the highest I've ever been in a souls game. But with soul memory I might as well level up as I go along the DLC parts if it gets too hard. I did kill Aava my first try so I'll just have to find some sinkhole to dump my souls in for now. I got to rank 3 in the sentinels before I jumped ship to Bloodborne so I'm not used to DaS2 pvp just yet. Iron Keep was a blast for it though
>>
>>126974567

Basically yeah. Other than being elite warriors or magicians, the common peasant is nearly perpetually on the verge of being horribly fucked by demons or supernatural entities at any given moment.

well that's kinda shitty, I guess I never used mods in vanilla because the framerate and resolution were already unlocked. I thought this was going to be the like, "definitive" version of the game, but the more I play it seems more like a romhack of the original, like oot master quest or something.
