/dsg/ - Dark Souls General

how effective is the carthus bloodring?

So, I've beaten Abyss Watchers and Yhorm the Giant and I have no clue where to go next. I've scoured Profaned Capital and Irithyll Dungeon but no clues.

Can someone spoonfeed my faggot self with even a hint?

So how do boss weapons, or weapons that cap out at +5, factor into the matchmaking? Is their equivalent just double for regular weapons, like if I have a boss weapon at +3 I can only invade hosts with +6 weapons and higher?

>>138855157
There's other areas before the Abyss Watchers in the swamp. Also, you haven't gone further into the Abyss Watchers dungeon

Is the large club just absolute horseshit for bosses?
I've been forced to coop most of the boss fights, the only ones I didn't feel severely gimped in were the Tree, Bracelet King and Aldrich.
Currently getting my shit pushed in by Dragonslayer Armour because once again my weapon feels to fucking slow and clunky to get a swing in and evade afterwards.

>>138854902
You get teleported from beating the last Lord of Cinder, meaning he still has to beat Aldritch.

What's the best PVP location? Also what's the agreed upon soul level?

I'll play it my way.

So what stuff is from the previous games in 3?
Is the Dancer, Ciaran?
Is Yhorm the Giant King from 2?

what's better for a faith build, lightning blade or lightning infusion?

When the host has 1 phantom I can easily mutilate both of them.
What do I do when there's 2 or 3 phantoms?

So apparently if you walk past Farron's Undead Legion into the catacombs before Yuria shows up, Yoel dies and Yuria will never show up.

and I'd have to wait for NG+

I can't get the ending that Yuria apparently can get you.

and even then I'd be about 3 levels behind **permanently**.

Is there any way to save-edit this?

>summoning was not intended
then why was it deliberately put in the game? It's supposed to feel like cheating because the game is supposed to make you feel immoral. That's like saying killing NPCs is "not playing the game as intended".

I feel like the multiple-phase mechanic makes a lot of the bosses easier than they should be. Every fucker in this game outside of Pontiff and the final boss spend the first half of their health bar just dicking around and doing nothing threatening.

Want to know a hint that makes fighting them really easy?

They can't reduce your HP below 1.

Once you realize and play around this fighting them becomes really easy, you just have to dodge their brand prod which is super slow.

I kind of doubt it's cut content then, seems to be a bit longer of a gap between release than 2 and sunken king, and a tiny bit shorter than BB and Old Hunter. Probably October release, and 6 months is a pretty reasonable dev time for dlc.

>>138857373
To be fair, the other games had a lot of fucking shit bosses. I don't think any boss in DaS3 is as bad as Pinwheel or Prowling Magus.

>>138857448
To be fair, they probably see Reapers or Ultra Greatswords laugh at groups of jailers. You can stagger them to prevent their health drain, then spam R1 until dead, only the ones that aren't staggered can drain or brand you. Reapers and UGSes have enough range to stagger a whole group at once and the other groups won't aggro in time. Curved Sword users just want to try to copy.

>>138857580

what bonfire do you want the sign at?

I hate to complain but those red knight enemies early in the game either have infinite stamina sometimes, or just a massive amount of stamina in general.

I've had them throw like 3-4 long combos with shield bashes and shit at me in between, it's silly.

Doing a quality build now. I wanna go strength though. What weapon(s) should I be using?

As stated in the game, the more armor you wear the less damage you do. Try hitting some enemies naked, then hit the same ones in full fatty armor and you will notice a difference. Not a big one but enough to be noticeable.

Also flyns ring.

>>138857990
That's a boss weapon. It's also mainly Dex

>>138858002
I went pure str and my progression was Greataxe + heavy darksword > Yhorms Great Machete. Greataxes are so fun in this game and heavy infusion is really good.

Now that the game is popular youre all a bunch of cunts whining and moaning about irrelevant or made up shit like "infinite stamina enemies" or "tracking" because you cant accept that youre fucking terrible at the game and only play because you heard its really hard and you want to validate your shitty self.

Am I wrong to think that pyromancy is basically garbage now that you need int and faith investments to use it?

I don't do ballsack for damage with pyro spells at +6 flame, I've been using is that weapon buff which adds around 50 fire damage.

Maybe the high level or chaos pyromancies are good, but that would mean dumping even more points into int and faith.

While you're somewhat right, it's a very unreliable method. You cant really hit them while they run away or fight you, you can only get the hit when they're chugging, but you're sacrificing your hit for it.

So now they healed but cant heal again for a short time, so you're basicly on a clock to pressure him until it expires.

If it lasted the whole fight it would be a different story

Use a raw weapon until your INT/FAI are higher, then use chaos.

Pyro doesn't really need any more stats than any old quality build unless the weapon you want specifically has high str/dex requirements.

If you are having trouble with chuggers, throw undead hunter charm at them when they chug. It isn't a blanket AOE that only affects the location but is more like throwing those turds at an enemy - if they are in the area then they are hit with the debuff disabling them from sippysip.
