What's the best weapon to attempt to win against gankers?

Is the great mace worth farming for?

anything that can swing wide and / or fast.
cliffs with force are also a cheap option if you have extra points.

Repostan from previous thread ending.

So, how best can I set up a situation for Sentinels/Moons to get their ears?

Do they get an ear every time they kill an invader, or only when they kill all active invaders (eg. if two invaders are present, do they need to kill both to get one ear, or do they get an ear for each)?

Can I set up a farming situation with purple phantom fightclubs or something?

>>140830164
I swear it used to

How do you deal with the Fume UGS 2h rolling R1? It's fast with loads of range, hits like a truck, and it seems like it has hyperarmour from frame 1 so swinging into the end of the roll because you're expecting it results in a trade?

Is this parryable?

It's objectively the worst great hammer. It's terrible with every single infusion and has awful AR overall. It's the broken sword of great hammers.

>>140830246
I think it gives them rewards for the specific invader they were summoned to kill, I've had three invaders in my world and the one blue left after killing one of them, but the second blue who was summoned later didn't get to leave until both the other invaders were dead, leading me to believe that he was summoned for the one who died last, as he was summoned when all three invaders were still active. I was running an impromptu help club for blues at the time.

Farron memesword main hand, wolf knight greatshield off hand.

Bloodbite ring +1 if you see someone pull out the carthus rouge.

People love wailing on greatshields, especially people with bleed weapons.

Parry them on their third hit with your greatshield. They'll NEVER see it coming. The parry might actually be fast enough to get them on the second hit depending on the weapon they're using.

Drop a lot of thank you carvings afterwards.

Given how many coals you find in 3, I had wished they would show up somewhere around his work area or at least display the latest one you gave him.
In hindsight, it was more because of how barren his huge workspace is than anything.

Also Eddie is the only one with a bed. Does this make him smarter than the other smiths or does it make them that much more badass?

So, did anyone find a use to the random crab in the catacomb ? I was thinking of maybe pushing it into lava to make it "embered"

For those that don't know ,in the catacombs if you break the second skeleton ball ,a baby crab will come out, people think it's like the baby pig in dark souls 2 that you could lead somewhere super far to get a pickaxe

Additionally one of the giant crabs in smouldering lake is embered AND doesn't aggro at all, but taking the baby crab to it does nothing

No. And it quick selects the first item you're carrying. It's usually the estus, though.

>>140831923
how many people know that though and don't attempt to kill the new attacker in a panic or just try to escape

if you get onion aggroed in the spot where you kill the fire demon, there is literally no escape but death or the host killing you and boning out while being hounded by onion

Gotta love that Fromsoft rebalancing.

Never use anything that's considered "good" because it will end up literally unusable.

I expect they'll make an exception for straight swords though lest they open themselves up to thinkpieces about how hateful to women and minorities it is that the game is too hard without being able to R1 R1 chug your way through everything.

Is it just me or does it seem like the A.I knows when you are fucked and goes into hyper mode to make sure you die?

Like if I'm taking my time and pulling enemies one by one, blocking/rolling their attacks and then striking back, they seem to go down easy and move slow. But if I end up pulling more than 2 enemies or am running low on stamina/hp they just go fucking crazy spamming 8 hit combos endlessly right in my face.

dark magic in DaS1 was actually in every case split physical + magic or fire
try it, wear steel protection in oolacile, you'll take less damage from dark orbs and such
can also turn 1900 damage dark beads into 1200

Most enemies will punish defensive play. If you try to roll backwards from the Pontiff Knights, for example, they step forward and continue their combo indefinitely. They only stop it if you roll somewhere out of reach of the attack chain, like to their sides.

Trying to 'escape' enemies by rolling away from them will usually get you punished because their AI recognizes it and continues aggression.

>>140832704

The Evangelist's set's defensive stats are balanced against how fucking retardedly hideous it looks.

Can you get covenant items again on NG+? So can I give another 10 wolfgrass and get a second old wolf curved sword for example?

It's a lot easier than DS2

This is why the whole 'Quality Souls' meme never made sense to me. Sure melee weapons are more or less required at lower SL, but it's not like anybody is getting big payoffs from levelling STR and DEX. If you want to make the game easy just use a raw straightsword and gouge VIG, then transition into INT/FTH and stick a weapon buff on your raw sword. Now you're doing more damage than a Quality build but with access to all of the good caster utility, and a big health pool.

It's not even worth it to take quality stats early unless you want to face tank things with the hyperarmour on some massive weapon because you're paraplegic and can't fight dogs.

>Someone wanna explain to me why I can't find any better armor than the damn EVANGELIST ROBES?

Aldrich and Sulyvahn know the dark, so their minions have the best shit.

Duh.

It's almost like Undead people don't die. Strange that.

Both silver and black knights are fucking bullshit. Cant be staggered by anything but a UGS or Great Hammer/Axe and will just shit damage and combos with no down time. And if you sneak up on them and get a bunch of hits in they will go into fucking berserk mode.

I believe your covenant allegiance carries over to NG+.

What's the secret to getting a great ass in the game?

Yuria is okay with wresting the flame OR linking the fire. Try getting to the end of the game after taking the levels but not doing Anri's quest.

How are you supposed to use Sacred flame aka the erupting burning finger? Seems too slow to really punish anything unless you have high poise.

>>140833836
hey look another thing DS2 did right

why is Miyazaki so retarded

So what are your impressions on bosses so far, /dsg/? Haven't beaten the game yet but I feel like I'm very close
Ranking from the best to the worst

>Champion Gundyr
>Dancer
>Abyss Watchers
>Deacons
>Crystal Sages
>Greatwood
>Dragon Slayer Armour
>Pontiff (would be higher if not for the clone bullshit)
>Old Demon King
>Vordt
>Iudex Gundyr
>Wyvern (a gimmick done right, still not all that memorable though)

Everyone above are varying alright to god tier, everything below is garbage

>Aldrich
>Oceiros
>Wolnir
A gigantic powergap
>Yhorm

And honestly one thing I hope for is a bit more challenge. I get my shit completely pushed in by old demon king and pontiff, but ever since Aldrich I haven't died once to any of the bosses I've encountered

>>140833769
I find it much easier in this game, although it's not much of a stretch to imagine it might just be because everyone loves spamming R1 so much.

>>140833750
Seneschal was a let down so fucking big I have no words to describe how it felt when he died to a single core attack.

>>140833794
Dude it's literally faster than the one at Oceiros. You can easily aggro just him. From Deacons' Room bonfire, run in his direction.

>>140833769
It's easier
The caestus parry is basically DaS1's parry with DaS2's netcode and range leniency. We're currently right smack dab in the middle of a monscim meta with potential instantkill hornet ripostes.
