Reposting:

I talked to Anri after killing Horace and told her about him. She gave me the Evil Eye ring. Now I got to the Church of Yorshka bonfire and she's not there? Anyone else have the same issue?

(I've done all the bosses save for the final one)

Dragonarmor's weapon is the most ridiculous thing in the game. A fully loaded up WA will hit for 1200 - 1600 depending on the enemy. It will one-shot enemies in pvp if you manage to get it off.

Hey ashen ones, I'm sl75 rn, heading to NG+.
Is it even worth it at this point, or better to create new character for pvp and stuff?

I mean, there are not that many changes in NG to justify going for it, also i will be pretty much unsummonable if I keep leveling up, right?

So, I'm trying to get into Dark Souls for the first time, but whenever I try starting the game, pic related happens. It goes away if I switch to Fullscreen and then back, but having to do that every time is annoying as hell (not to mention that it ruins for borderless fullscreen).

Any ideas?

Why would I be 'upset' about something so menial as that? You're assuming people are trying to duel, that bowing is somehow part of the game. You risk running into people like that with every single redsoap summon. It's /your/ fault for assuming that he'll play by your arbitrary rules that you've set up - and can in no way be explained to the other person.

>hurrdurr but its always been like that

And if this is someone's first Souls game, they wouldn't know about that either, not without reading up on 'pvp history' or what have you.
You're just salty because someone didn't play according to your arbitrarily set guidelines when there's really no reason to ever do so.

Important question:
I am at that phase in the game where i am paranoid about the ending sneaking up on me.

>>138950272
>sometimes the requirement is 2 or 3 phantoms
I think it's more if there are another invaders already in the host's world.

How well would this build do? it seems interesting for a r1 spam build

12 faith 12 int
dex cap (im not sure if its 40,45, or something new now)
Sharp rapier+10
Carthus Beacon
both pontiff's rings

seems fun

Also i was wondering how Great Magic Weapon works on weapons if you just have the bare minimum 15 INT, even worth it or just too little damage?

does it remove the dex scaling of the weapon and add int scaling or just flat damage addition?

I think they over killed it with "collect all rings" achievement. Spells alone are hard enough the get because many of them are given trough reaching highest covenant rank.
I only someone finds merchant on NG+++ or something, like in DS2, who sells all covenant spells

>>138950334
Not that I know of, but I'm hoping there's one last secret left unfound and not putting the lords on their thrones at Firelink Shrine to see if Unlit Firelink at Untended Graves can be used instead.

PvP as aldrich faithful right after pontiff. High density since everyone coming through that door is embered up, and people more often than not are alone since their WoW party of 40 phantoms got dismissed right after the boss died

>>138950445

Not every zone has that.

There are no hidden bonfires in the game, and they're evenly placed out so you never have to run through a obscene amount of dickheads in order to reach the boss. Tons of shortcuts too.

So, no Sens Funhouse dickey. Which is a good thing if you ask me. The level design is absolutely great.

>>138950397
The dark sword, great sword and carthus milk ring are all very easy to find.

The rest I haven't come across yet in my blind playthrough - but c'mon, man.

You fucked up if you aleady visited the Profaned Capital/Irithyll dungeon.
Just open the main door of the cathedral, go back to the firelink shrine and trigger patches events, buy Siegward armor and give it back to him.

In russian version we have Irina from Karim or Irina iz Karima. Sounds fucken fun

I'm not saying there's any way to fuck it up on a blind playthrough, because plenty of people including myself ignored her and went to fight Henryk anyway, but it's not expected that you do the opposite of what an NPC says
Not to mention she can simply die in the fight if you're not prepared

Yes, you get all the Oolacile spells eventually, you also get Chameleon a second time through the Aris questline.

you need to progress anri's quest until she reaches irithyll

then either kill the assassin for the spell, or perform the darklord ritual and the assassin dies and you can loot it

The elevator that acts as a shortcut to the Dragonslayer Armor arena has got to be the slowest elevator in the world.

what the fuck are you supposed to do about wolnir?
I do 0 damage, the only way to avoid his poison breath seems to be to walk back, after which he follows you, pushing you closer to the wall

You know, PvP can be incredibly fun even if you have players who are actually honourable.

Where can I find the Dickwraith covenant? Is it down a path in Farron Castle?

Why put so many shields if you're going to make them useless because >muh BB anime combat?

Why put so many miracles if they can't deal as much damage as a fucking straight sword R1

Why the fuck do spells like heal drain your stamina completely? Wasn't FP taking estus slots and long ass casting times enough of a nerf?

Why put any sorceries when they're even worse than miracles and even lack the support?

Why put dark sorceries and pyromancies when they can only be accessed by an NPC towards the end fo the game and they suck anyway?

Why put poise when it does fuck all and you get stunlocked by R1s and the only "poise" that matters is ultra R2 hyper armor?

Why is everyone twice your size? No seriously even the fucking hollows are twice your size, and the fire keeper is slightly taller than you, like the doll from BB, were they this fucking lazy that had to copy paste the humans transforming into beasts from BB and the doll? How does this make any sense in the DaS universe where hollows, being humans and not gods were always shown your size and the fire keepers were too?

Why are there so many gimmick bosses and the ones that aren't are trivial, with the exception of Nameless king?

Why are there so few weapons that end up sharing movesets and even the fucking weapon arts, the main feature in combat of this game?

Why are there so many reused assets? Isn't this thousands of years later? At least Dark Souls 2 had a shitload of new items, this one seems to reuse more than it introduces, the goddamn kirk armor still has the roll bug from DaS 1, how is this even remotely acceptable for a 60 euro game?

Why does every enviorment look the same like in BloodBorne?

Why are there literally BloodBorne characters and items like Abyss watcher? What the fuck I thought it was Gascogne for a moment, wasn't aware I was playing Dark Souls X Bloodborne.

No seriously, how is magic even remotely acceptable as it is? Did they playtest this thing? How did this get through QA?

Good area to invade at aldrich faithful?

Put out the flame is stupid. Everything just gets dark. Literally.

Haven't seen the Link the Flame yet too. Supposedly there's 4 endings.

If you put the Lord souls at the unattended grave one you'll get the 5th ending

estoc has always been based

>>138951223
Is he? I never found Hodrick's corpse after killing his phantom and killing big nutsack tree. I also never fought him at the Road of Sacrifices, just him in the flesh when killing him with Sirris.

Man, does he get fucking swole by that point in the game.

No, I literally bought it 3 times in fact. One time was even collector's edition.

I'm still angry about that. So angry I apparently bought the game 2 more times.

I'm so happy I don't have to financially support someone.

>>138951219

I can't get her to spawn at the Church in Boreal Valley. I didn't find out about Smoldering Lake until after I killed Pontiff and Aldrich.

So I guess she's gone now. I killed Horace but I can't find Anri anywhere.

These NPC quests are absolute shit. Their failstates are all over the fucking place.

Nice work, from. How can some of the content of the game work so well, yet other be absolute rubbish?

>these fucking ice knights in irithyl who just keep swinging over and over and over

fucking christ

I can buy shard, large shard and slabs, but not fucking chunks.

What level are you nerds to get such high traffic in the area after Pontiff?

>>138951305
If you join Rosario's covenant the slut who gives you the thing needed to join darkmoon fucks off and goes hostile.

>>138951308
Link is you just sit down and you're kind of on fire.

>>138951308
Link the flame is you get tiny flames across your arm and then sit down.

I expected a lot more.

I keep seeing all these pics of people rp'ing as dragons.

Has miyazaki allowed otherkin furries to ruin the game?
