my rotted greatwood is easy

What's best infusions?

Thinking of rerolling lads

Dumped all my point into STR, at Boreal Valley and still haven't found a non-quality weapon. Plus buff miracles seem pretty good in this game

Is anyone else having this issue?

It goes away when I restart my game, but then comes back right away after another few invasions. What gives?

Game is really fucking easy

I've beaten everyone up to Yhorm.

DeS was MUCH harder.

DaS was a GOOD AMOUNT harder

DaSII was cheap and felt shitty but it had difficulty

Bloodborne was a little TOO difficult (in my opinion)

This time feels easier than any game before it.

Link us? That's going to be fucking hilarious if that's the case if they switch it on PC/Xbone to the PS4's and all of a sudden those of us on those platforms feel like kenshiro.

Alternatively it'll be fucking hilarious if the intended difficulty on the PC/Xbone is accurate and the PS4 gets to experience the joys of this shit.

>>138687593

Use shields to protect yourself against poorly telegraphed/insta-attacks while you regen stamina.

>>138687607

Well that'll be a silver lining to Ithyll then.

>>138688135

Can you dodge them/avoid them/gimmick them? I just would dash out to spawn crocodick, run back behind the gate and slash him a few times before he despawned and redo it (the damage was kept).

But jesus christ what were those fucking japs smoking when they came up with this shit

Gay, what happened to all the greatsword hype?

genuine reason MM can fuck you over:
staying at a low level but upgrading a weapon a lot for PvE so that you can get gear to use for PvP at a low level (fashion/cosplay builds)

Greatwood reminds me more of Gaping Dragon actually.

So is Aldritch the hardest boss? That's the one I see most people mention. Are people just going in unprepared, using the wrong damage types or have un-upgraded weapons?

you need to charge it for longer. just hold down LT, you'll know when to let go.

I'm getting kind of desperate to find a good weapon that isn't a straight sword or the Uchigatana I got 15 minutes into the game.

I died a decent amount of times to Abyss Watchers but looking back on it, I don't think he was that hard. The first phase is piss easy and his pattern in the second phase is really easy to read. I think I just panicked too much and played way too defensively.

Repost from old thread:

Can I still do Sirris' questline if i've already beaten Deacons and Watchers before starting it (without summoning her obviously). I've gotten to the point of speaking to her again after getting the ash from Farron Keep, and just defeated the beast on the bridge, but her sign is not appearing.

Also, is it possible to join Darkmoon so long as I received the kneel from her earlier?

>>138688550

How did you find DS2 hard? DS2 was easy as shit to me. DS1 was easy compared to DS3. Well, DS3 is dyslexic in difficulty - once you get to boreal it suddenly goes full retard, but everything before it was snoozefest.

On his body, I found a figurine of a squire.

Please help.

>>138688762

To be fair that was pretty fucking stupid in the first place.

weapon memory is absurd and punishes people for upgrading their weapons, even if they then don't use that weapon.

If you ever make a +10 (Or +5 if that's as high as it goes) weapon then your matchmaker weight on that character is permanently and irrevocably pushed to the highest bracket for your SL, meaning you will be seeing less eligible nodes.

If you want to be able to PvP in any form DO NOT go above +6.

if they made it so that it only counts for weapons in your inventory (so you can store higher weapons in your box and then not be able to switch to them during PvP), it would be perfect

I can agree with Dancer. It looks like more of a legit challenge, now that I think of it.

>>138688928
If that's true, it's because you're better now. If you were able to objectively look at the series you'd see that DaS3 is more difficult in pretty much every way from the other games.

FUCKING HELP ME

Allowing enemies to change direction once the animation has begun was the single biggest mistake in the entire series. This change alone makes plenty of avoidable attacks death sentences.

>>138688535
The real one spawned in a corner every single time in my encounter. In one of the corners where it teleported at phase one before the illusions.

Whats the ring that gives you the anime vanishing effect when you roll? Like the naruto skeletons in catacombs

I have no idea where to go

Im stuck around farron keep i guess
Farthest i got was killing two giants shitting in water and all they were guarding was a faith spear

Anyone know the scaling at max rank of the Gargoyle Flame Spear? I was wondering if it was worth it for a pure pyro

how do I get the hat of the crystal sage?

So I keep crashing

I've tried lowering lighting to low

Tried playing without a shield

Tried downgrading the nvidia drivers to 361.75

Tried playing on medium (PC can handle running on High)

Still fucking crashing, although it happens randomly and I've gone hours without crashing.

What do I do besides rolling a Knight and waiting for Bamco to release a patch?

>>138688484
>>138688707
Don't be retarded.
The problem with Soul Memory was that it was ALWAYS going up. There was NOTHING you can do about it except starting a new character.

With the weapon upgrade scaling you can at least ditch the weapon if you're desperate, and that's assuming you can't just stuff it in storage to avoid being too far from people.

Are there any good PvE weapons that aren't boring straight swords? They just seem far and away the way the game was meant to be played this time and I'm already bored of it.

>>138688748
As someone who actually really liked DaS2, it was much easier than this

The mobs all had easily dodgeable/predictable attack patterns, DaS3 feels like BB on steroids

Do it, but get the community mods to fix the port and to get 60fps support.

>>138689041
Agreed, the way it is now is completely fucking retarded.

"Hey I see that you once made a +10 weapon, so you're going to only be matched with people who also have +10"
"Well..yeah I made one but I'm not using it anymore, this is only +3.."
"LOL DON'T CARE GET FUCKED"

Ever made a +10? Well you'd better ALWAYS use it or you're now at a multiplayer disadvantage.

>>138689175
no you retard, you dont get it. once you upgrade a weapon, you are permantely attached to that bracket, doesnt matter if you sell, discard,drop, store w/e, your mmr is in that bracket forever.

>>138688898

Now I'm truly lost. The boss room is empty, there's just a fire. Nowhere to continue from.

Stop with your misinfo, it works nothing like soul memory. people with highly upgraded weapons can't invade people with lower upgraded weapons, which literally does nothing besides stop twinking.

This is the most retarded tips ever.

>>138689183
It really bothers me the idea of designing enemies around using Iframes to survive attacks rather than being able to actually dodge the attack. The idea that some attacks are literally unavoidable unless you use iframes is stupid.

I would love to see a PC playthrough where all the Iframes are removed from dodging and how much of a nightmare that would be given how many enemies have tracking attacks and 360 degree spin attacks.

>>138689536
that's one of the reasons i really like king's field - no dodging besides regular movement, and the game is designed around that instead of just throwing enemies wherever with uninspired attacks because you can roll through everything

I'm not really sure where else to ask. Pardon my shitpost, but, is anyone else having a difficult time invading? I feel like I get invaded 10x more than I actually get a succesful invasion. Is there a reason for this? I've spent literally hours in queur to no avail, and as soon as I stop queueing - boom, an invader.

That doesn't actually make sense though, there's still the SL system in place and i'm not asking for the removal of weapon memory, just for it to only take your current inventory into account. It makes no sense for it to be a one-off highest tier is permanent deal.

When I first heard about iframes I thought it was exploitive because of how gimmicky it appeared - you weren't' dodging the attack, you were just timing your animation to make yourself invincible. In any other game that would be seen as a bug - imagine if you became invisible to bullets in counterstrike if you jumped and were in the air before they pulled the trigger.

They are such a cornerstone of gameplay now that there is a literal ring designed to improve your iframe invulnerability.

I need to stop reading this topic and get back to playing because I'm getting more and more annoyed at FROM. At first I was sad this would be the last in the souls series.

At least Dark Souls is updating.

>>138689843
I have no proof other than my word but I can confirm it works like that. I made a character and killed Dancer at SL 8 which gave me access to a lot of titanite. I backed up my save and upgraded a weapon to +8.

Zero summon signs anywhere near Vordt at SL 15 or summons. I deleted the weapon and the same thing. I even closed the game and restarted it. Once you upgrade you are moved into a new tier and can't go back. It really needs to change

They might be, but this sword has been giving out on me long before branding mages. It's just not performing anywhere near as well as it needs to be for whatever reason.

This game hands over too many embers.

At least before they were harder to get

>>138689887
i don't actually agree with you, i think weapon-memory is great, but then i also do one run per weapon i would use.

i'm guessing the issue is that there's no way for the game to know you won't just equip the +10 weapon while summoned/invaded. i'm basing this on the fact that i'm guessing the stash isn't actually a separate box, but rather just a hidden part of the inventory the player always has.

I dont know honestly. It just looked to buff the fuck out of the weapon's damage while not buffing the weapon damage you get from attributes. So think of it like the drake sword, at least thats what I did and it worked out well enough. used raw on longsword and I used that shit for a good while.

greatscythe.

How do I best earn the 56k souls I need for my cosmetic surgery?

Figured it out guys.

Enemies seem to have some kind of opposite day poise. If you stagger an enemy and keep hitting them, they will break out of it after a certain limit is reached.

Just been testing it on the giant knife throwing skeletons. I can hit them 3 times, after that they will always 100% of the time evade the 4th attack. Tried it again on another enemy (some guy, one of those ones who only spawns once). He'd always roll after 2 attacks, making it impossible to land a 3rd.

Going to test it for different weapon types now. But once you figure this out, it becomes a lot easier to predict enemies.

Would like to confirm if

1. Way of white circlets are tradable
2. Manual disconnecting (plug pulling) triggers the banhammer.
3. Restoring a save allows you to use way of white circlet again

Also important. I can summon (?) and get invaded in certain areas after the boss is down. Can't enter boss fog when that happens too. Only seems to happen in crystal sage stage rather than anywhere else. Anyone notice this elsewhere?

Wait for him to despawn his large weapon after the explosion, run in, hit twice on the cuff, run back to the wall.

The worst part about Pontiff for me is that I can't lock onto his ghost at the same range I can lock onto him. I have ranged options, if I'm able to lock onto him at range, I should be able to lock onto his own clone at that range. I have to stay away to see what I'm doing, I should be able to have the choice of who to lock onto.

So are demon's fists trash?

>>138690221

fist weapons are enjoyable as fuck, spamming l1 into rwo R2s is pummeling into strong punch into uppercut.

i'm having way more trouble with it than i had with swords, but i'm good as heck at rolling now. fight feel fluid and dynamic as fuck. except when the enemy can roll away before you get a hit in, then it's fucked.

I'll try Firekeeper, since you can clip through her visor and see that she has eyes. It would be a matter of finding the rendering settings for her visor's texture material and setting it invisible.

i haven't dfied either but i also know their every move by the time I fight them alone

Do passwords remove level requirement?

Question:

Why was the Undead Legion eternally fighting each other? I assume that's why they didn't come back to their throne, but after just beating the Abyss Watchers, none of their gear (or npcs at Firelink) explain why. Do I find out later, or is it "just because?" What have I missed?

Please tell me lightning spears are not as shit as people are saying.

>can be infused and buffed. His can't.
Damn i forgot about this since i'm rocking heavy infusion on my normal machete right now and it seems to improve the damage by at least 50 at +4 to normal stgh scaling. Also using human resin makes it look like the DBS with those rolling r1s it has.

Do enemies eventually stop dropping items? I have been farming the darkwraith and he has totally stopped dropping shit.

i bet everyone just trying to rush you instead of playing as passively as possible

Rapiers win every single fight versus players who are 60+% equip load.

Their rolls cannot escape it after being hit twice. They roll away, but they don't actually roll away. They're still in range to be hit, which means they roll to either block, which likely results in guard break, or they roll to get hit 2 times again.

This is why I play the game at 25% with rags on. Straightswords and Rapiers aint shit to me.

>They were always hollows
Not sure.
>You can look like beef jerky without being mindless.
Yeah but to look like beef jerky you need to die a lot, but I don't think that works the same for NPCs.
So what about Yuria from Londor?
She should look like a Hollow too no?

Remember Wolfbros and Redbros work TOGETHER to kill the host.

Oh, that's funny because he tried to sippy not long after casting it. Not that I expect the NPCs to be that smart in a Souls game.

Are there any downsides to joining Rosaria's Fingers? I just want to change my butt ugly face

This guy here, just beat him. Only healed once through using an Ember when he went to explode.

Arbalest is fucking life, guys. All those times he's doesn't come at me I cap his ass, it's great. Why don't more people use it?

If I do the thing of Yol and get the edgy lady o the darkling, can I choose between endings or am I set with the african one?

>>138691441
I love O&S for that. If you know how to play properly without shieldhugging you can beat them every time, otherwise it's just bashing your head against a brick wall

Much like Fume Knight

So far 2 is my personal favourite.

All the fanboys who bitch about things like being gang raped by enemies in 2 are pretty much just saying "IT'S ONLY OK WHEN MIYAZAKI DOES IT"

>praying to the RNG gods to allow the boss to do the one particular, rare, move that allows you to hit the last fucking pus nodule left on the thing

Yeah no, Treebeard is a fucking terrible fight
