tweaked AO, curves, and DepthHaze but have them disabled since curves maybe was too much saturation(switched to vibrance), AO has a high performance hit, and DepthHaze messes with loading screens but it is a very cool thing for screenshots.
Also there is a custom "LUT" texture that looks really good some places and awful in others, you can play with that if you want.

I'm really disappointed with how horrible the enemy encounters are in this game. I want to love it but they're so so so bad.

Just started. Slowly making my way through the High Wall of Lothric. As a general newbie to the series, I have a quick question:

Is there a way to figure out which attacks I can roll towards to end up next to or behind an enemy versus attacks that the enemy turns on a pivot to track my movements during? There doesn't seem to be a very good telegraph for which is which.

>>139178560
>>139178668
Meh, I think health would be overdoing it, but allowing free FP restore is fine. Caster builds depend on it, Melee get little out of it, and buffs take so long to cast that it's punishment enough - throw a knife.

>>139179001
>The one thing that you hate the most

>>139179037
Backstab them

>>139178976
The base damage of all the large weapons should be marginally higher to compensate the weight, in my honest opinion to be honest famlee.

Not saying they arent usable, ya know? I'll die with my EGS in hand and never let go just wish they had a bit more umph.

Dodge.

I mean, I don't even magic but that concept isn't too hard, is it? The game is balanced around ashtus, though there should probably be a limit.

Besides, in FC's you need estus to heal between fights, and allowing estus hurts other weapons, like spears and whips and bows, that depend on chipping away at enemies, and rewards SS shitters who run at you with reckless abandon.

You need to pay more attention, senpai. The whole Mozgus squad, the guardian on the bridge and these bald pyromancers in the Aldritch area are the most blatant ones.

Unkindled are chosen undead who are only resurrected so that they can link the fire. By linking the fire they preserve the current world (age of fire). If this did not happen the world would enter the age of darkness, which is a great unknown, but also the natural syklus. Humans are undead because the fire is linked to humanity, as long as the fire burnd humans will be (immortal) undead.

The game has a number of set spawn locations and they knew which one you would be at, as the host gets the "Invaded by" message a few seconds before your character begins to spawn in (while you're at the loading screen).

This is my first ever playthrough of SotFS.

Skeletons are weak to strike damage and resistant to thrust (obviously).
They also take more damage from divine weapons and the glowy-eyed skeletons won't revive if killed by a divine weapon. The Astora Straight Sword has innate divine properties, or you can just +3 and divine a mace to have the perfect weapon for rattling through boneville.

I wouldn't be surprised if straight swords get a nerf or some other weapons get a buff. Straight sword is the poster-weapon so they made it great in order to push this game a little harder on casuals and new players. Ideally once the market dies down they'll balance it better.

Or just wait for DaS3 Scholar of the Hunters Die Edition

I honestly don't know, i think it just splits it across your highest. like if you had 30 vit 40 stam and 30 str at level 100 it takes 10 vit 20 and 5 str if your being summoned by a level 65..

These numbers ar eobviously completely made up but I'm not sure what it takes.

It doesn't take levels, it just reduces your damage and HP.
Unfortunately, it doesn't nerf estus # or penalize lategame spells, so scaled-down phantoms will still usually be much stronger than a level-appropriate character.

I can't seem to reach those two places, I thought I'll have access to them after killing Armour, but it seems I was wrong and am now being forced into Archives; Please tell me, without spoiling the location (I DO have trust in anonymous, it might backfire at me someday), whether I need to keep looking or maybe I'll come back there way later, after Archives through some sikrit passageway?

The same thing happened in Irithyll dungeon - I was breaking my head trying to reach Siegward before going through the bridge to Profaned capital, but I ended up breaking it even harder after reaching the keys but still not understanding how to get to him (even so, I spent 2 hours running around instead of checking with the internet)

You can try getting him to kill himself by charging off the edge. A fast hitting weapon can stun lock him semi reliably but you'll always need to save yourself enough green bar to roll back once or twice and during stamina regen breaks it's not uncommon for him to get a sneaky hit in. If I had to go kill him again? I'd buy a dagger and just whittle him down. Most starting class weapons are way too slow to even think about trading R1s with him. Black firebombs at his agro leash end is also an idea but incredibly unreliable and easy to fuck up.

Did you buy any dark miracles off her?

If so then have a good look around Firelink and back towards Gundyr.

From needs to ditch the invasion timer and not allow hosts to enter boss rooms until after killing the red phantom.

At least then they'd have a reason to nut up and come after the invader instead of sitting in their enemy-cleared safezone.

What's better in general?

Chaos damage
or
Dark damage

Is chaos just fire? I'm a little confused.

My weapon goes up equally in power with either, but for pvp I don't know which to choose.

>>139180508
there is literally nothing comfy about this game

at least majula and the original firelink was a bit comfy.

>>139180516
When's the next time you encounter him after you and he fight that piss-easy demon?

>>139180490
go check the gate to gundyrs area lad

>>139180490
Did you make her teach you dark miracles?

>stand at the end of the small rotten bridge
>hit the skeletons
>bridge collapses

maybe don't use a rapier fagpier

>>139180456
Just drop down from the shortcut.
You only need to fight like three wretches and some candle ladies.
Run past the Knights.

>>139180331
Anyone?

>>139180351
Why is it bad? It's been pretty easy for me so far as a pyro.

>>139180470
Yeah keep defending your PvP which is even shittier than that of Bloodbore

>>139180508
that's basically souls games

everything is horrible and people are at most trying to prevent them from getting even more worse. I kind of like the hopelessness of the atmosphere.

>>139180490
if you bought any dark shit shes being guarded by eygon near iudex, or shes in the tower behind firelink

>>139180346

bought it on my first character then had a friend transfer it down

>>139180542
Murakumo I guess.

My Astora Greatsword does the same damage as my dark sword. I mean Astora's is still pretty great but that shit is inexcusable

>So what's the deal with the Nameless King?

Gwyn was already Hollow at DaS1
The nameless king's name is missing from all descriptions, almost as though it was stricken from the annals
He's a child of Gwyn
He possesses Gwyn's armour
His armour descriptions refer to him as a wargod
He has a lightning spear
He decided to cooperate with a storm dragon
The Iron armour set has been discarded for snuggly to pick up, but all of it is "well maintained"
The king's weapon is a "swordspear", almost as though he preferred to use a sword before acquiring gwyn's lordsoul
The dragonpeak area has a clear sky with a nice, bright sun
Who do you know whose godly name was stricken from the records, who has a penchant for cooperation, who relied on martial strength, who by canon picked up gwyn's soul after DS1?

You killed Solaire, you monster.

>Co-op abyss watchers

This is probably the most fun boss to do co-op for.

>>139180601
chaos infusion is fire that scales with your stats

>>139180602
3's Firelink looks pretty damn comfy, I wouldn't mind chilling out in there.

>>139180618
Except rapiers break the bridge? Try not being salty as fuck.

>>139178609
is the estus ring anygood?

why can I not pick up the dingy hood?

>>139180568
I fucking love it. I don't know if its the best option for a STR build (It's the heaviest greatsword, I think) but the damage and range made it worth it for me.

>>139180508
Yes

I was surprised how I felt learning that Gwyndolin was fucking eaten and Priscilla is hiding in fear.

>>139180635
It's much, much more prevalent in 3 than any other game.

>>139180601
Doesn't Chaos scale off int and fth equally and Dark only off fth?

>>139180602

Going to Boreal for the first time was rather comfy.

And then a rat crocodile devoured my asshole.

Thank you Fencer Jack, whoever you are. When your UGS did 1200 damage against Pontiff, I knew I picked the right Sunbro
