I also just tested Lingering Dragoncrest +1 and it actually decreases the amount of health you get by 7 HP.

Finished DaS blind playthrough, what are some things I was guaranteed to miss?

>>149948114
No. The only health restoration miracle that scales is Blessed Weapon, and it's only 1hp/s per 50 spellbuff.

All the other ones give you exactly and only exactly what you get. There's also no regen miracle in the game that's actually good, which is unfortunate since faith is literally built around them being core spells.

optional area w/ boss accessible from firelink shrine. the crow will help out but you must be VERY patient.

from that area you get an item that brings you into another optional zone, this one's found in anor londo. sort of obvious to find, just think a bit creatively.

there's another hidden zone in blighttown. let's just say the roots hide a lot.

>>149948419
Many of the NPC quests are incredibly obtuse, to the point where a quest will silently fail and dead-end because of the 5 possible options, 4 of them meant not being able to progress it and there was no way of knowing that your decision was incorrect.

Totally missed Kaathe and every NPC quest Solaire is dedzo and I actually laughed when I met him with the sunlight maggot

Unfortunately I knew a decent amount about the game before starting (good 5 years of spoilers) so the painting area was easy to find once I stumbled upon the doll. Also by fuck me I didn't go totally blind and looked up how to get back to asylum and get the ring for gwyndolin I will go try to find ash lake "blind" then and then unblindly start the DLC stuff I suppose. Thanks my dudes.

>>149949082
They're both trash.
The spell is spammable and low-cost but is basically just soul arrow that deals dark damage. The projectile travels extremely slow and the tracking gets better over distance, meaning it will only actually track decently well (read: not miss moving targets) at max lockon range. It has the exact same tracking as dark souls 1 soul arrows, and isn't better damage or FP efficiency-wise than the bog standard soul arrow you can buy from the handmaid. You get an upgraded version of it from rank 1 of the aldrich faithful covenant that's one of the best pve sorceries in the game, so there's absolutely no reason to get the poverty version from the boss soul.

Candlestick is literally the worst weapon in the game. The broken straightsword is literally unironically a stronger weapon.

Deacon's soul pops for 20k souls because they knew damn well how trash the things you transpose from it are. Just eat it.

>>149948378

That's really odd. It should logically increase the HP you make back, unless the way the spell works is that it gives a set amount of HP over a certain number of seconds... which would be a really odd way to work a regen spell.

Fromsoft realized how much people loved the blue flame in dark souls 2 for being a sword-catalyst that was good at both, so to ensure that never happened again, they made the candlestick.

I'm sure you can thank Miyazaki personally for that one. He must've thrown quite the tantrum in the office when somebody suggested that an idea from the-game-that-shall-not-be-named make a return.

Candlestick requires 12 fth as well.
Why?
I don't know.

>>149950357

Soul Greatsword/Flashsword not only get a little extra range, but it kind of "masks" the shader too since the spell casts from somewhere in the middle of the tinder. So it's a harder for people to tell that you're winding up for a spellsword strike. Flashsword also *combos* with the fucking R1 and WA.

It's baller as fuck.

>>149950540
I think its because they wanted it to suck dick and only be for spell buffs.

Also for stupid reaching lore reasons its used to read and memorize stories like fth guys do

Just as quality is the only viable melee build, magical quality between int and fai is the only decent mage build.

Clearly if you're someone that just wants to dedicate themselves to one stat that you're a particular fan of; maybe you like the greatweapons of strength, or the lightning flashiness of faith; your opinion on what is fun is wrong.

Side note, anybody tried the Crystal Chime? I like the idea of having the ToB back.

Smartass

>>149950827

Crystal is weaker than the best catalysts for both types of magic, but not by too much. It's pretty handy to have both flashsword and sunlight spear on deck.

so what stats should i run with caestus.

40str 40dx with high vig and sta
60str 60dex 30vig
or 40str 60 dex 50vig

im not sure if the two handing ar scaling for fist weapons is correct

>>149950827
Crystal Chime is shit.
Well, mostly shit.
The fth scaling obviously doesn't affect sorcery damage (even though the listed spell buff will always reflect the combined scaling of both), so its damage with sorceries is very mediocre. Since sorcery is mostly only just barely viable with literally every damage bonus possible stacked, crystal chime just doesn't hit hard enough with sorceries to really fit onto a build.

And since it's a chime and not a talisman, it can't actually use any miracles without being interrupted. Interestingly, miracle casting is still bugged and takes both the int and fth scaling fully, so it's technically the highest potential damage faith casting tool in the game. It's a shame you'll never, ever hit anyone with a miracle without the ability to HA trade.

Interestingly, the Archdeacon's Greatstaff actually beats the court sorcerer staff at 60fth, making it the strongest sorcery casting tool, so there's a bit of a niche there for a high faith, moderate int hybrid caster.

>>149951171
40/40 Refined.

Gouge Vigor and only use 20 Endurance at most, you shouldn't need that much stamina unless you like the L1 spam.

It might be a good idea to wear the lightest armor possible/nothing to use Flynn's Ring to the fullest, since Caestus is one of the few weapons that can reliably make use of Flynn's.

Well if you're going for pure Caestus, you have room for Ring of Favor +2 and Chloranthy +2 already, with 2 other ring slots for whatever you want. Flynn's is a good idea if you're going full light weight for a multi-hit weapon like the Caestus.

Bait for 2HR1/R2 trades basically, which means outspacing and outplaying them. I like the running R1 followed by an R1 tactic to bait them out as this gives you enough time to get HA frames if they roll and attack and guarantees a 2 hit combo if you hit with the basic R1. Charging up a 2HR2 at a few feet of distance when they are closing in is are about to attack is also good, your damage means you're going to win any trades so long as you roll right away as soon as your combo ends or you get the R2 since they can spam R1 right after to fuck you up.

Easy: spec quality, get Hawk Ring, acquire bows. If you want to main bows, it's totally viable and actually makes the game play somewhat differently. You don't need a sidesword, but having one is handy if you want.

I recommend Composite, Pharis' and Onislayer on one equip row. Composite is the best all-round utility bow, while Pharis' has triple shot for bosses and Onislayer has great range and damage without being too heavy.

Seriously bro, just use whatever weapon you want with a lightning/chaos enchant at base stats and then pump your vit if you want to twink at SL20.

>>149957261

You know, DS2 had a decent idea for this in that if you invested in faith you could use a spell that found invaders; that eye effect that pops up when blues invade.

A version of this spell that changed who it chases based on whether you're invading or getting blue summoned or are the host, with a minor stat investment, would be great for just this purpose.

>>149958586

I enjoyed my archery run a lot because it reframed many encounters which were formerly trivial due to the absurd stagger onslaught that straight swords provide, and then trivialized encounters that were formerly challenging in melee. I don't have any firm examples, it was just my overall impression.

It was more challenging for sure, and at times felt monotonous, but it felt fresh in a way that just trying some new sword didn't.

I wouldn't really like to do that, I'm getting plenty of invaders with no phantom and I prefer needing to hold out while I wait for support over having a buddy already there. That way the order is me->red->blue->second red->second blue (the first has usually gone home by then)->etc etc. I often get repeat reds too, which is fun.

Besides, how else are these blues going to get summons? Ganking at Pontiff's?

DS1: Everything involving Nito, especially whatever cult he managed to attract to himself. I especially love that area just before his boss room that has those skeletons prostrating themselves towards him. I'm still debating whether or not those were just reanimated skeletons that arranged themselves there, or if they're the remains of the aforementioned cult that he had. Also the whole occult rebellion aspect of the story is also really cool to me.

DS2: Not really much to go on here, but I feel as if there was a lot more shit going on at the Lost Bastille that was never mentioned. You can find a statue of pic related in one of the areas here as well as the cleric starting set with some other cleric stuff in the area, leading me to think it was once a place of worship to some deity. But of course, there is almost nothing related to the joint in item descriptions other than it was just a prison.

DS3: The Cathedral of the Deep. No, not the Deep itself (which I feel was just shoehorned into the game because Miyazaki has a hard on for eldritch stuff now, and couldn't bear to keep it in Bloodborne), just the cathedral. I think its really interesting that it was once a Way of White cathedral. I personally think it was specifically a place to worship Caitha as evidenced by the crying statues that you can find in scattered about the cathedral (a flimsy claim, I know. It could easily just be a place to worship Gwynevere or some other god/gods), and the fact that several of them are covered up just adds on to the dire shit that went down there.

You can only save him from Lothric in NG+, because Patches owes him 1 favor but offers to go find him twice.

You need to bring the Catarina armor from NG into NG+. When you send Greirat to Irithyll, do not buy the Catarina armor from Patches or tell Patches where Greirat went, and instead give Siegward the armor you got in NG. He will rescue Greirat from Irithyll. When you send Greirat to Lothric Castle, then tell Patches where he went and Patches will go rescue him because he owes Greirat a favor still.

Lances are still much better weapons than katanas though, the range, speed and ability to turtle males them secretly meta.

Middle school math too difficult for you?

>>149972470
Haven't played DS2 in ages so idrk if anything changed, is longsword and offhand estoc + dancing still the meta?

Would there be an anon so kind to help me with Fume Knight on NG+2?
Platform PC, SM 9M
pls respond

>>149972841
Forgot to mention this is Vanilla DS2

>>149972581
The balance got so good that you can use pretty much anything and yes spacing is still a thing.

>>149973021
Oh well, so I guess I'd still use my Curved Nil if I ever decided to come back to DS2. It's not that I used many weapons anyways, it was either big weapons or the Falchion

I'm trying to beaet Nameless King and my main weapon is lightning infused and obviously does no damage during phase 2

I was thinking of switching to a +8 War Pick for phase 2 and I can't decide whether Raw or Fire infusion is better

Is 169 physical/169 fire (388) or 255 physical better damage?

>>149973815
>Lightning infused
Faith character i presume?
Get the Astora Straight Sword and infuse that with raw
Get Dark Blade buff if you can

>>149973894
Yes, 55 faith
I also have dark blade

not him but i'd say ds2 has the most weapon viability in the series, and winning with a shit tier weapon is much easier compared to ds3 or 1 imo

They transcended to the higher plane and reached the enlightenment.

>>149973943
DS2 has by far the most narrow selection of top tier weapons and way larger distance in terms of viability between good and mediocre/bad weapons. In DS1 low-tier garbage was at least fun to use on lower levels, in DS2 low-tier garbage stays low-tier garbage at any SM, especially given that both estoc and longsword can be acquired immediately and absolutely overpower anything else you might face.

what did u expect

So, the heavier a weapon is, the more stamina it consumes, right?

This chart is too generous for ultra weapons and ESPECIALLY reapers.

i suppose, but i had a relatively easy time winning with everything from top to mid tier in ds2, while in ds1 mid tier already starts becoming useless trash

>>149973943
Man, I miss the boar event. That was fun.

>>149974680
That's because typical skill level of DS2 players is lower than in DS1. If DS2 crowd was playing in DS1 you would facefuck 80% of them even with DS1's ultra weapons.

>>149974579
Not really, big weapons are very good in DS2.

>>149974808
During the entire lifespan of DS2 ultra weapons were considered extremely shitty against any actually good weapons. The entire "DS2 ultra weapons were good" is a result of nothing but nostalgia coupled with getting lucky against a skilless r1 mashing retard or two. Ultra weapons were never good, not even in DeS where they were at their highest, i honestly think From should just stop making them whatsoever and focus on balancing fast and medium ones.

Twinkling titanite upgrades count as +2, is that true?

>>149975147
Yes

>>149975181
fuck this gay ass matchmaking shit

What SL is one usually at with a +8 weapon and where do people at this level/upgrade range tend to be?

>>149975052
>I honestly think From should stop making them altogether
And have even less variety than we have now? Pls no, at least you can use ultra weapons for PvE if they're shitty for everything else.

>some anons actually think DaS2 has less viable weapons than the other DaS games

I have to stop falling for this kind of shitty b8

>>149975367
Ultra weapons are kinda shitty even when it comes to pve to be honest. They are just sub-optimal and flawed at their core. I would rather prefer more medium/fast weapon classes. Like fucking flails, urumi, chakrams and other exotic shit.

>>149964554
The only ones that might be left at this point are Ciaran and maybe Gough.

>>149964554
Bishop Havel.
Make him a Ludwig of the souls series and give him some divine STR weapon.

>>149975785
I want big manly ultras. Flails would be nice but From won't put them in Souls.

>>149948757
If your SM works with it and many you could fight are in Dranglric Castle, sure. Problem with the golden border around the picture in the teleport is always that they all might already go to watcher and defender.
You should totally try doing this with Acid Surge, Spider Fang (to slow the enemy down for acid) and Great Heal. Fun times and much hatemail from this ~

Why does Perserverence last such a short time?

Weapon really doesn't need to be immensely huge and slow as shit to be manly.

>>149975052
>Ultra weapons were never good, not even in DeS where they were at their highest

They weren't the best weapons in the game, but they were fine. They were viable mid-tiers against actually good players, rather than being scrubcrushers that fell off completely at higher skill levels.

I didn't play DkS2 PvP much, but it's hard to imagine DkS2 ultras being as bad as DkS ultra weapons. They seem mediocre, but not like they'll get reaction roll BS'd every time they guessed wrong while going for a trade. Or get assblasted by buffered toggle escape into a backstab when they actually do guess right.

>>149976245
You are meant to cast it when you are about to be hit by an attack so you can tank it and counter. It also makes smaller weapons bounce off you so it's basically a shittier, easier parry

>>149976261
>I didn't play DkS2 PvP much, but it's hard to imagine DkS2 ultras being as bad as DkS ultra weapons
DS2 ultras don't even have a precise manual aiming of DS1 on top of being equally slow if not slower and lack of deadangling. And that's in a game with blindingly fast WD attacks.

I need a little assistance with Eldritch. Meet me near the bonfire in front of the cathedral if interested
