Is the Uchi the new drake sword? Fucking everybody uses it and 9 times out of 10 they're a complete shitter.

There are so many fucking questlines in this game. Any reason to try and 100% (as much as you can) on New Game? Or just wait until NG+ and follow guides. What is everyone doing? I don't wanna have to do an extra NG to complete everything.

Any good "things to do before going to NG+" guides out there?

I dont really understand infusing weapons... If I am a basic str knight with a dark sword, should I make it a heavy dark sword so I get the a scaling? Or just leave it the way it is

Why did they think it was a good idea to give Abyss fireguy literally only 2 attacks where you have time to attack after, and one of them you're never in range?

I'm sick of just waiting for these specific attacks that he rarely does.

Fuck this.

Does the Majestic Greatsword still have any benefit if used in the left hand? I saw its special moves had been changed to its weapon arts and since power stance isn't a thing anymore, I was just wondering if it had any bonus in the left hand. Also, is it still called the majestic greatsword?

I'm abandoning my strength build after beating Greatwood.

STR seriously just is no fun this time around. The FP uses are shitty, the enemies are more on par with bloodbourne speed making them worse than alternatives, and there are no decent weapons for such a build this early and its annoying the piss outta me.

I guess I'll do a fancy pants run instead.

so, I'm a pure phys character, and i want to mix in a little magic. Just a *little*, just enough to surprise someone in PvP or mix things up in PvE. I know it won't be very effective without a big stat investment, I just want to know that it'll do some damage. I'm willing to put 15 levels towards this, and I have 10 int and 10 faith at the moment.

What is gonna give me more bang for my (small) buck? Pyromancy with 17 int and 18 faith or Sorcery w/ 25 int?

The later in the game I'm getting, the more I like it which is not something I could say when I played Dark Souls 2

If garbage was a boss, it would be Old Demon King.

Nearly had him on my first go, but six attempts later I keep getting fucked by literally everything except the actual boss.

The camera doesn't behave, lock-on doesn't actually lock, I keep getting caught on the club and being flung everywhere and sometimes I am pushed between his crotch and his club with no escape.

Ive beaten the game 3 times and theres still noone anywhere to pvp with. Why are pc players so slow to progress?

I'm doing a STR build I guess, but I'm still using the Longsword, though I infused with a heavy gem so now it has B STR and no DEX. Should I switch to the Butcher Knife though? Would infusing it with Heavy make it S scaling? Can't check right now since I'm in class.

Yes, the drake is actually guarding a claymore spawn. Dont worry the fire doesn't do that much damage, just try not to get hit by the initial burst of flame and you'll get the claymore without too much trouble. It's fucking god tier in this game btw

ALSO
Where the fuck did Ringfinger Leonard go? I got his 5 eye orbs, used them all, and came back to get muh key but he's not there. Do I need to kill frost doggy first or something?

Also also, while every single fight I had with those 5 eye orbs was either a 2v1 or a 3v1, it turns out actually winning a 3v1 makes all the other losses feel ok.

He's a huge asshole. Here's what worked for me. You know that one-handed combo where he starts with a swing from the left (your left) with his fire sword, and always follows up with a swing from the right? Learn the timing, block the first hit and parry the second hit. No prediction required, the timing is always the same. Do that until he gets to phase 2.

When he gets to phase 2, the most important thing is keeping your stamina maxed until he starts to split. Then, two-hand your weapon, and charge a power attack at him at his phantom as he finishes splitting. You should almost kill the phantom, one or two follow-up hits should cover it.

It seems like you can't parry any horizontal attacks with the uchi, after his slash slide you can land a parry on his first swing guaranteed. But it seems like he varies it a lot or something.

It feels like a lot of the attacks that AI prioritizes is based on rng rather than circumstantial variables.

Majority of greatswords, UGS and curved swords aren't even STR-scaling oriented at all.

Yeah, hammers and axes are STR oriented, but there was a lot more variety between weapon types in the past games in terms of scaling.
You're kind of forced into a shitty corner this time around.
I know the whole infusion system is a thing but that doesn't even really seem worth using in most cases anyways.

Where do i get the black knight GS?

The one in the crab area only gave me a helmet and shield

Any way to disable skill/button queueing?
I die every time I pull out my flask yet want to roll instead after an attack, or some shit.

High Wall.

I haven't been invaded once and I've gotten no summons for blue sentinels or wolves. What gives? I understand blueberries cause I'm around SL 40, but I feel like I should be getting summoned a fuckton with the wolves.

What do I do with my Uchigatana?
I have 20 dex atm.
do I infuse it with fire?
can I even make it +15
or should I just keep it generic +10?

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BEAT THE 2 CROCO DOGS AT ALDRITCH FAITHFUL COVENANT?

I agroed one of them, climbed up the ladder to the top, jumped down and made a plunge attack. He took 200 damage and i died.
I tried fighting him normally but good lord what the fuck si wrong with the tracking? Do they actually know what buttons i am pressing or what?

Farron Greatsword or Great Wolf Sword

Does Artorias' sword still have a different moveset if you wield it left handed?

Did you Steam controller shut down too when Steam went down?

>>138675564
Isn't it just like a normal quit. Of course you disconnect from hosts etc.

I dont get some of the infusions. Is it worth some raw damage loss for a single letter grade of scaling? Also what does fire scale off?

You're rolling to early or to late. All of their attacks can be avoided. The one on the bridge was kinda predictable.
