WHY CAN PHANTOMS HEAL REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So there's a rumor flying around that you can use the red eye orb as a darkmoon and you'll have a chance to invade as a spirit of vengeance.

Can anyone confirm?

>People are unironically having trouble with Abyss watchers

I don't understand, they're super easy, are you all just bad or something?

Okay okay, according to Yorshka's chime description and her dialogue, Yorshka was told that she is the daughter of Gwyn and Gwynevere, and Gwyndolin told her that he's her brother.

So WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE COME FROM!?

How much strength should I be pumping if I want to use the Executioner's GS? Should I split the rest into Faith for buffs or just go full END/VIG

Stop pretending to be MLG pro. 1 invader versus 3/4 people with 25+ estus shared between them while the host can evade and summon more people if you manage to kill one off is not easy.

There's a spot where you can aggro two at a time pretty easily. You can imagine how that's unfun.

Does anyone else think Champion Gundyr is the coolest boss once he gets his shoulder tackle, stomp, and other moves?

Otherwise I think Oceiros is cooler of a fight just because of how dramatic it is. Lothric Princes are good too of course.

Is there anything but brass knight set in that long hidden hallway?

Or should I just get the Black Bow of Pharis?

I wish they changed up Anor Londo a little bit. I wish the Silver Knights closer to Aldrich were visually differen. Like Sullied Silver Knights. Covered and malformed with sludge.

he dies when Aldrich is killed. If you used him to get 5 free levels, Yuria appears and her questline starts, which eventually can lead to the last and strangest ending of the game. But if you didnt get 5 free levels, Yoel is dead and thats it. Better luck in NG+

All it took is just one person to tell me "just roll through her bullshit" and i simply did it.

Not true.
I've been invaded plenty of times as a solo player, it's just that co-op players are prioritized.

Ok what the fuck is the deal with the Irithyll Dungeon, especially the large room with all the wardens patrolling this shit is retarded.

>>138873106
You can get invaded solo, but it seems to be pretty rare. It's not like there's a lack of invaders or anything because the invasions are nonstop if I use Dried Fingers.

>>138872713

You got lucky then. They are some of the worst offenders of animation canceling, and canceling the recovery frames for more attacking.

Same here. The Longsword has always been one of my favorite weapons ever since Demon's Souls. I love that versatility.
And i'm not gonna give it up now even if it is OP as hell. Haters can suck my 400 AR.

Anyone playing DS3 on PS4? is the framerate really that bad?

>>138872513
If you don't have enough stamina to pay for an attack, it comes out slightly slower. For all greataxes, this slowdown is enough for people to roll out before the second hit. An excess of endurance is strongly encouraged for greataxes so you don't miss out on huge damage oppourtunities.

Greataxes seem to be the only weapons that have this issue. Greathammers still combo no problem if you don't have enough stamina for the 2nd swing.

Also what builds and weapons are you looking at or intending to use?

I just invaded as a spirit of vengeance with the red eye orb. Took 3 regular invasions but the 4th was a vengeance invasion. You get the normal token you'd get as a blue sentinel but if you go back to Yorshka to turn it in she has new dialogue about darkmoons of the past being able to freely hunt down sinners in other worlds and that's she knows where the last orb is but she won't say anything further until I get more tokens apparently. WHAT A BITCH.

Hopefully DS3 is like DS2 where you can just get to NG++ and buy spells you'd get from covenants.

Hopefully.

What kind of fuckery that skeleton king is I constantly getting one shoted no matter where I stand

Stand near his hands - die
Stand near his body - die
Stand in front of him - die
Stand far away from him - die

1. Get an alt character
2. Get them to the swamp
3. Get them to the hole in the wall

How exactly is potniff hardest?

>game teleports you straight to Emma's room automatically once you defeat Yhorm
Really? I even saw a bonfire sprout in Yhorm's arena but now I did what the message on the ground said and all of a sudden I'm fighting another boss with no estus.

>>138873942
I found him much, much easier than the Dragonslayer Armour and Pontiff.
Yeah, his attacks hit hard and he was respectably aggressive, but he had clear telegraphs and didn't really throw any curveballs at you. Fun fight, though.

Holy fuck the Pontiff was overwhelming. I only muddled through that because of how much estus the game throws at you. If he did more damage or had more health, I'd probably have gotten stuck on him for hours.

Why would you ever want to two hand your weapon in DaS3? Two handing seems absolutely useless.

I swear to christ, this game literally breaks my network drivers. It doesn't just have a shitty connection itself, it makes my entire computer have a shitty connection.

Farron Greatsword or Greatswords of the wolf

I am 20/20 str/dex at the moment

Turns out you still get Eygon and Sirris' armor sets after completing their questlines.
Go find Eygon's corpse where you first found Irina, then his armor will be available from vendor after killing Dragonslayer Armor.
Go find the grave in front of Firelink after accepting Sirris' loyalty to get her shield, return there after killing Twin Princes to get her talisman, vendor will sell her armor after that.

Only thing I'm stuck on now is Corryx's armor. It's supposed to appear in the palce where you found him after using a pryomancer npc summon for Old Demon King and killing it, but that didn't do it for me.

>>138873896
It's kind of trying to corral you to one area, what you're suppposed to do, is allow him to move up towards you where it seems like you could hit his skull. He'll do his mouth spew thing, and you're supposed to move towards the bracelets, and attack them.

When he does his sword attack roll towards the non-sword arm and destroy it while he's recoverting also.

and when he swings his hand, try and roll closer to the end of the attack and then try and attack the opposite arm.

Hope I could help

>>138873942
It's not that hes hard or anything. It's that so many of his attacks one shot you (or do most or hp, stager then follow through with another strong attack)

and if you die, gotta fight the boring bird again. simply not a fun boss.

>>138873968

Any Rapier fags want to give me a comparison of the Crystal Sage's rapier versus Ricards?

I'm always wavering when it comes to putting points into str when I'm a dex fag, but I'm also using a fair amount of magic this time around too, though right now mostly just to buff my weapon. But once I get it higher I'll be trying out the Great Sword spell.

Guys where is Patches? I already killed the Deacons and never found him the Cathedral and he isn't in Firelink anywhere.

Is this roughly what everyone else had? Sixth would probably be Aldrich or Mr. Bones or Champion all tied up, though Wolnir I could probably one try every playthrough now every other boss was easy as in one try.

The Grand Archives is full of Oceiros lore.
Basically, he was in a panic because his shitty inbred testicles couldn't produce an heir capable of linking the fire, so he turned to research to try and find a way to become more powerful and produce a son that was beyond human. The scholars in the archives came across records of seath's research and he took to that like a moth to flame and pursued the PATH OF THE DRAGON in hopes that he could solve his problem of shitty children by making a dragon child, Ocelot. The pursuit became an obsession and drove him insane. Whether he actually succeeded or not is unclear, since you can hear Ocelot's crying but never actually see it.

She wasn't told she was the daughter of Gwyn. She was adopted by Gwyndolin into the family and given her name by him. She is almost certainly a Seath experiment that was successful.

Spoiler alert, Oroboro usually knows fuckall about the game.

In DS2, when the cancer meta was painted guardian falchion offhand, crystal magic weapon moonlight greatsword - it took him 3 - 4 matches to understand that you couldn't parry whips. Something that one would assume that someone like him should know, considering how often he spouts being one of the 'main heads' of the pvp community in the Souls games.

It's not as hard as Ds1 but easier than Ds2.

>>138875108
You'll find the first half of the game to be the easiest time you've ever had in a souls game.
After the difficulty spike, it becomes as hard as the DLCs of previous games. If you're really shitty at these games, you can just summon and have phantoms carry you through.

>>138874849
Why?

how do you get summoned as a blue sentinel? can it just happen any time you have the covenant equipped? i've never been summoned.

the wiki says the min level to get summoned as a defender is host +10 and the max is host -30 which makes absolutely no sense. what actually is it?

is 25% equip load actually a real border where things change significantly, or would 25% and say 27% be virtually identical?

If the former, is it worth actually going for <25%?

So that's why I couldn't parry a greataxe invader... good information.

That's why you help them first. It helps a lot if you show them places that they haven't unlocked, or items that they don't know about. Send a host down a narrow ledge and don't kill him and you've earned a fair amount of trust. I've done it several times and after that not even his phantoms put their shields up when I was close.

clapping and yelling for them helps too.

And then they're surprised when you slide your rapier into their backs because they decided to pull three fatties and two dogs.

>Using nameless king chest with pyromancer's blindfold
It shouldn't be possible to be this cozy

The fact I can red eye invade instantly but never get a watchdogs invasion is all anyone needs to know about the state of online right now.

Oh and the T-pose hosts with no animations that too.

They should have made the worm in Smouldering Lake invincible if you tried to just approach it. They should have made you work up to the big ass tri-arbalest so you could spear the fuck out of the worm and then you can actually fight it.

They should have given the Aldrich Faithful an actual room or leader. With all the deacons around and them sort of being in control, a dried up corpse in a dog day care that sprung a leak seems really weak as a covenant altar.

It's not about honorable duels anymore, you gotta fucking backstabbing and bait them, kill the phantoms first since the host has an ember

So, Leonhard has disappeared from firelink and I never got that key. The last boss I killed was the curse rotted greatwood.

Has he gone to the cathedral?

And if so, will he still give me the key for a pale tongue at the cathedral, or have I missed out on getting the red eye orb this playthrough?

no one bothers with invasions since it's 1v4 99% of the time

for me

Dancer > Cinder > Princes > Nameless > Pontiff

but I'm pretty sure Dancer only took me this many tries because I didn't realize how good greatshields were when I fought her
