/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

"Those fools on the outside" decide to unnaturally prolong the life of a world instead of letting it to be reborn. It's the main theme of AoA. It basically shits all over the fire linking and also hints at that Lord of Hollows ending is terrible too.

Burning the painted world is the same as destroying the First Flame permanently on the outside, in both cases it resets the world. Friede wanted stagnation, but that stagnation caused painted world to rot and Corvians to mutate horribly.

> who fucked Priscilla
Dunnel. It's stated almost openly given the choice of words in describing his wife and the fact that Priscilla is referred to as an "abomination" in DS1.

>>168211448
Yeah, the fact that it's someone from Londor smothering the painting's flame is probably important. I guess the Usurper ending isn't the "escape the cycle" bullshit people think it is.

>>168211797
Basically both fire linking and usurper endings are two sides of the same coin. They are both terrible because they lead to stagnation, just through different means.

Usurper ending is probably even worse because there's no hope to let the flame die already as you're now a living embodiment of hollow fire who is probably stronger than any god.

One thing I notice is that the painting is supposed to be destroyed in the act of making a new one, but in the real world the old world is never destroyed completely. Vinheim, Carim, Catarina, fucking Andre, all still around. The world has never been completely destroyed. Of course if Prisicilla's little tower is of any indication, the painting still keeps shit around.
>caused Corvians to mutate horribly
We don't know how many paintings existed between Ariamas and Ariandel. Maybe each successive painter was worse at painting sexy crow ladies and we get left with the shit-dragging freaks.

THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

>>168210372
>>168210734
I was just thinking of keeping weapon classes and stats way simpler like Bloodborne did

Vitality increases health
Endurance increases stamina
Strength governs all melee prowess
Magic increases FP, attunement slots, and the effectiveness of spells
Luck has the same effects as all of the above at a significantly lower rate, as well as improving drop rates at a 1:1% ratio.

Armor has been dramatically simplified. This isn't to stop you from making fashion, just a bit of optimization.

Weapons and shields that can be wielded are determined by your strength stat and don't affect your weight at all.

Armors are further divided by weight class, which dictate rolling speed and stability bonus for blocking.

light armor allows for fast rolls but lack of weight reduces stability

Medium armor is manuverable enough for medium rolls, and is weighty enough to grant full stability.

heavy armor greatly restricts your movement and only allows for fat rolls. It is quite heavy and grants bonus stability.

ultra armor is extremely cumbersome and bulky. rolling will grant very few iframes and has very high recovery. movement speed is slowed. The exorbitant weight gives an extreme bonus to stability.

There's so much more I want to write but I'm super tired.

Night lads.

3-5 hours, maybe more or maybe less depending on what SL you go into it at and how much exploration you do.

If you like duel type pvp then there's more value in it from the arena it added.

Actually, that's way too fucking generous, it's more like 2-3 hours of content at best.

Velka. On a serious note, it was never mentioned. For all we know, each child of Gwyn had a different mother.

A literally who character no more important than Loyd and yet people always get butthurt when she's not in a new game/dlc

>>168213930
It's because of the relationship between lorefags and Down's syndrome.

>>168213856
How so? she is suppose to marry Flann, god of flame.

>>168213906
There's a decriptions that mentions Gwynevere (who was a goddess) becoming a wife and mother and giving birth to heavenly children or something like that.

>>168213930
ENB used to have an obsession with her back in the day for no reason, that's how it began I think.

>revered as a goddess of fertility and bounty

I think Flann got BLACKED by Aldrich and that's why Aldrich has flame abilities.

>>168214485
40 to 50 if we're talking NG

>>168214485
35-45 is a solid range for it

>>168214485
30-40 I guess

>>168214519
Aldrich's flame powers only appear in his second stage like the rest of the lords of cinder who've already linked the flame, unless there's a specific reason for the three of them I think that's just something you gain after linking it.

>>168214052
They take the mistranslation of the divine blessing seriously
>>168213930
She seems to be connected to a lot of things. She has strong ties to the painted world (crows/velka's rapier/black set), which makes her the most likely candidate for the statue, which then connects her with new londo (same statues above and in front of the entrance to 4kings, same staues in the lifts), she might be responsible for bringing you to lordran (giant crow). Subsequently in DS3 she's connected to Londor (Vow of Silence), which in its own ways connects to New Londo (Kaathe/Dark Hand) strengthening her connection to it. She's one of those influencial people who work behind the scenes. I really doubt she'll directly be in TRC, but her presence will as always be apparent to those who know where to look

>>168214485
25-35 seems to be the best

>>168214750
>mistranslation

What's the correct translation?

>>168214695
You're probably right, I always forget that most of the LoCs have flaming second stages.

>>168214519
yeah but the item said she left Anor Londo to marry Flann, so he can't be there.
Either: Oceiros is Flann (doubt), Flann died from (?) and she remarried.
who do we know that are the children of Gwynevere?

>>168214750
Are you talking about the mother and child statues ?

>>168214052
>>168214750
At the very least, one of her descendands is the queen

>>168215005
yes
>>168214869
That she was compared to the goddess of fertility. But I'm not 100% that is true, I didn't do the translation. Might actually be bullshit and she actually is Gwynevere

What happened to ENB, did he burn out?

Speaking of statues, am I seeing things or are the statues decorating that lone tower in TRC the same ones as in the painted World/New Londo ?

>>168215327
He's too busy handing out life advice and spouting psuedo philosophical things to people.

>>168214898
It's not like Aldrich would've had to eat him in Anor Londo, that's just where he is now. Whether or not Aldrich was responsible I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that something happened to Flann.

If Guenevere is the queen of Lothric then the Lothric bros. are her sons, which might explain the holy magic.

I don't think there have been any direct confirmations on this but there are theories that the Dancer and Rosaria are daughters of Gwynevere since you can make the bountiful & soothing sunlight miracles from them. The Dancer's soul states that she's a distant daughter of the royal family, although that may just mean that she's related to Gwyn through someone else.

>>168215563
You're taking the time to kill everything or you put most of the souls you get towards leveling up or both. Also you have to be careful when making an invasion build. Invading is mostly upward.

>>168215563
It's the worst area in the game, go there at high level so you can get it done fast.

>>168215563
No, don't worry about it. As long as you explore it around the same level as the catacombs you're fine.

>>168215621
Apparently his wife was just in it for the green card and left him ASAP.

>>168215563
No, it's extremely easy to rapidly advance in levels in DaS3 if you're primarily investing in your stats.

I mean, they even give you a ring for more souls right away, I regularly end up with fat stacks of 50-100k souls with nothing to spend them on because it will put me vastly ahead of where I want to be for online stuff.

The executioner's greatsword is a good STR weapon and can leech enough FP to allow you to use blessed weapon on it repeatedly, especially if you combine it with Aldrich's sapphire.

>>168213669
Pretty sure Gwyn made most of the anor londo "gods" with "magic". Lloyd is supposed to be Gwyn's uncle. Gwyn probably just gave Lloyd powers when he found the lord soul because they were related.

>>168213056
It was at the start of the Age of Fire probably, since Gwyn gave the city and his daughter to the Pygmies and promised to return for the daughter one day. So I guess it was before they realized the first flame had a time limit.

What's the fastest way to farm Proofs? Online or silver knights?

>>168217097

According to nobody but Lloyd himself, which is why nobody cares about him in 3.

Ariandel's Rose, or any blessed infused weapon.

other than the aldia ending in 2, every other ending has been shilled one way or another by a serpent at some point. Lord of Hollows is new in the sense that it's never been done before.

Is it just another reddit-tier fan theory or is there any basis for it?

>>168220427
Like many aspects of DaS2, it's mostly because the game was a mess in development so stuff like that was shipped without any explanation because it wasn't properly finished, just salvaged.

I've never heard that theory before.

The giants were supposed to have faces originally but they were later removed and the giants were pretty much just replaced with stone golems from KF.

If I had to make up a lore reason I'd say that those bodies are golems, which would explain why lots of other golems have similar holes.

I've seen the theory floating around, it's rare but it's there and it's a dumb one

I think the best explanation that's been pieced together is the one you mentioned, that the DaS II giants are golems, and Vendrick stole the ability to make Golems from them, which endangered their race to extinction.

If that's true then it would explain why the Giants were so pissed and launched a 150 year war on Drangleic. It would also explain why the giants turned into trees after dying. Also it would explain why the Iron King's Smelter Demons have anus faces and the existence Ironclad soldiers, since Iron King was Vendrick's ally so they probably shared the golem maker.

>>168220925
same for the doors and the statues in Drangleic Castle, but with souls

>>168215563
no, the nice thing about Souls is that you progress at your own pace. You can plow through areas, or loot every nook and cranny, or kill everything. You can level as high or low as you want, use anything you want, and still come out on top. Souls is probably one of the rpgs in recent memory to truly mean it when they say player freedom, because your character is so malleable and you can take them in any direction you care to go.

Also the game throws so much money at you you're never left strapped for souls at any point. The other games are nowhere near as generous with souls, this game specifically buries you in money and the ring that gets you even more per kill is obtainable right out of the gate when you get to Firelink.

>>168220427
I just assumed that's how hollow Giants look

>>168221531
Souls is good because it's very good at being player skill based while still being an RPG

>mfw finally I got all cheevos in DaS3
DaS2 is now the only one left.

So it looks like this dlc will save DaS3 content?
If we assume vaati is right then here are some things.

- I hope we will understand how some enemies became angels
- why the hell does gwynn now have a second/3rd daughter? A boy, a trans, a daughter, yorshka and now another daughter?
- I hope we will see who is ocelotte
- Also I think there were some hints in DaS3 about a woman statue, just can´t remember where exactly.

From really shitted themself with this ariandel thing. Friede is a stupid boss (or I am just too bad), nothing regarding yorshka, which is until now the biggest mystery in this whole game, not explaining stuff about young dragon boy(which could be ocelotte), no explanation about priscilla or ariamis.

Really really hard but now I have the sword and shield down its awesome. At the swamp area thinking "Hmm this is cool but doesnt really feel like a swamp" then i climb down the ladder and i am greeted with a big fucking swamp. Cant wait to get owned hope its not full of poison.

Maybe they were cyclops and Vendrick stole all their souls, causing them to go hollow.

In which aspect? PVE or PVP? I talk solely about pve, lore and so on.
Dark souls 3 has cleary somethings I really love. But on the other hands it made so many things wrong especially on the lore side in my eyes, too much pandering. Instead of answering all the question we got more questions, playing through ng+ was boring and some levels are shit designed, while others are great in my eyes.

>>168222046
>every area feels like it could be a painting
heh

>>168222008
>- why the hell does gwynn now have a second/3rd daughter? A boy, a trans, a daughter, yorshka and now another daughter?
Yorshka is not his daughter, it's a nameless abomination who was found by Gwyndolin and accepted into the family, most likely because she was really powerful as a miracle conduit given that her chime is the best in the entire game.

As for having a real younger daughter, why not. There was no mention that Gwynevere is his only daughter or that he only had 3 children total.

>- I hope we will see who is ocelotte
Oceiros smashes him to death during his battle.

>- Also I think there were some hints in DaS3 about a woman statue
Woman statue with a girl existed since DS1, you can find it in New Londo elevators, on rooftop of the passage leading to the 4kangz and in Ariamis. The same statues can be found in DS3's Ariandel albeit they are smashed, most likely by Friede who got jealous of real Painted World mistress and her ideology of burning the painted worlds that start to rot.

>>168222008
Maybe he tried really hard to have a not so nameless king instead of the failure that was his dragon fucker and gwyndolin
And then popped out more daughters we never heard of

Yorshka is too nice and innocent for this shit world

>>168222346
>yorshka not real daughter
yeah I also kinda thought that, after reading the chime. Maybe she is the daughter of nameless king and priscilla?

>another daughter
because we would have seen it in das1, there are only 3 statues in the grave "gwynn, gwynevere, nameless king" now we got another one, who chilled in the abyss all the time?

>ocelotte get smashed
really? Well that would explain the sounds, but why the fuck does he die?

>woman statue with a girl
no no just a normal statue. I thought she kinda hinted about the stuff of the upcoming dlc, just can´t remember where exactly I saw here...

Also quick question: Is the woman in the dlc also the queen of lothric? I mean what happened to her? What if it was priscilla? What the fuck even happened to her?

>>168222789
I'm pretty sure I got at least 5 hours on my first run through it, but I go through these games really slow always.

>>168213331
If you've only played DS3 for 80h and you already want more content, this DLC really isn't for you

It truly is 3h long at best during your first run, but honestly most people are getting 10 times more hours out of it cause of replayability, pvp arena and cool PvP weapons

>>168222838
>because we would have seen it in das1
Ringed City predates DS1 and Gwyn most likely erased all info about his connections to gen 1 humans.

>there are only 3 statues
The statues depicted elder children of Gwyn. Gwyndolin is not there, it's logical that younger daughter is not depicted as well.

>but why the fuck does he die?
By being smashed into a fine but invisible pasta.

>Also quick question: Is the woman in the dlc also the queen of lothric?
We don't know anything about that woman aside from absolutely baseless speculations. She may be Gwyn's daughter.

>>168221385

This, I really enjoyed dark souls 3. A good end to the series with alright pvp and great pve. Can't wait until the ringed city is released, looks promising.

>>168222838
Gwyndolin didn't get a statue too.

>but why the fuck does he die

Cause he gets smashed to shit

Did you guys summon help for bosses on your very first playthrough of a Dark Souls game?
Personally I think summoning for bosses is silly

>>168223460
Jesus...

Okay help me out here cause guides are fucking me up.

I wanna go through Anri's questline, and some guides say that I should kill Horace before I kill the catacomb's boss, while others say that I only need to talk to her twice in the catacombs and not mention where Horace is (because i don't know it lol)

which one is it?

>>168223608
I think you're silly, cutie

>>168223674
just talk to her twice and it won't matter

you can choose what to do

>>168223674
The only part of that situation that matters is telling her where he is while Horace is still alive, which will cause Anri to die.

>>168223453
There was a night and day cycle, as the flame fades the world starts to lose that and just end up in a perpetual sort of dingy light.

>>168223674
If you kill the catacombs boss Anri moves to her next spawn point and won't ask you about Horace again, so you need to kill Horace and inform her about it before killing the boss.

>>168223460
Are you really going to drag on with this joke?

>>168223674
The latter. It doesn't matter if you kill him or not if you tell her/him twice that you don't know where he is.

His name is Carlos, you racist.

nah, gertrude was in the cave where she became an angel or something like that.

That's never made clear, it's hard to say since you could argue that:
-there is no cycle and day/night time are directly related to the flame
OR
-From is using the time of day in a symbolic way and you're not meant to take eternal nights/days literally, eg. it's not always dusk in Oolacile it's just meant to represent the dark taking over the light

Maybe it's cause I was away from home for a bit, game feels more subdued recently - Not dead though. Anyway, I hope DLC2 is as fun for invasions as Ariandel. Seems like the Ring City DLC will be more walled with it's 4 bosses, but I'm still hoping.

>>168211761
Why do people say that the Painter is priscilla's kid?

>>168226961
Bullshit! The GotY is always the same price or less than the base game at release.

So I haven't played either DaS in almost a year, and I've been having an itch to play again. Thing is, I like how my character is now and don't want to go through setting up a new one. My problem is that this character is on NG+, and I am not good at the game. Last night I died like 8 times getting to/fighting the moth boss. So is it a smart idea to get back into the game on NG+? Also, is it worth putting points into my stats to use lightning spear (or other miracles? I hear they are good in this game). What about upgrading armour, is that worth doing as well? What stats should I be putting points into?

>>168227040

I assume he means the base game is cheaper at the time of the GOTY release, and of course he's right, but still an idiot. Arbitrarily deciding to ignore any and all DLC even in cases when it's actually worthwhile content like the DS stuff is retarded.

>>168227161
>GOTY comes out at same price of original release
>Original release gets marked down.

So I'd still be spending additional money, for additional content when I could just buy the base game for less than the GOTY and not feed the beast that is microtransactions.

When people bought the guide and read it, there was practically no new information and there was zero information on the supposed beastform.

Among other things. This was just the most blatant because the beast mode had the same level of hype around it as the pendant in DaS1.

It's random. Not only have I got on I'm being invaded a lot too.

topkek everytiem

Can I do a pure pyromancy run in ds3 or is one boss/enemies immune against it?

What needs to be done about the blacksmiths hammer?

Friendly reminder that they retconned DaS1 masked giants to have anuses under their iron grates too.

>>168231982
Yeah sure

>>168231982
You can do a pyromancy only run but old demon king is going to be pretty difficult.

Tfw didn't know she dies in 1 hit
S-sorry

BOOOOOOOOOORINNNNNNNG

Boulder heave and poison/toxic mist will be enough.

>>168231170
Not for the MC

>>168211515
is the BKGA still the highest AR in DaS3?

>>168232449
boulder heave does fire damage though

>>168232540
wat

>>168232540
>Boulder heave does fire damage

Man fuck the black gulch. Who thought this was a good idea?

>>168232540
Gonna need some confirmation on this.

Is ok.

>>168232728

couldve sworn it dealt fire damage at one point though

>>168232727
the same team who thought DS2 itself was a good idea

>>168232096
There's always that one fucking boss for me in every souls game.

When's the next time I can expect DaS3 to be on sale on steam?

Anyone on ps4 around level 70 up for some coop action

>>168233075
Just get a key, they're less than 30$ iirc and it won't go lower than that on steam

>>168233075
When your dad will die if you don't reply to me in this post tonight

>>168233075
2 months around easter, but you can get the steam version right now for about 20 bucks (atleast I did).

>>168232101
They're golems. They're even called "golems" in the game files.

>>168232727
It's easy, but it sums up DaS2 perfectly.

Got a link? I never buy keys.

I don't know how you can not just want this guy gone when you might be trying to pvp, farm or progress through the area.
I'd just suicide or pull the plug whenever a cheater appeared

What's the toughest area to clear in ds3? I really think the snowfield in ashes of ariandel is a bitch. Wolves ganking you, giant vikangs shooting at you, trees spewing frost and fireballs. And no bonfire in sight. Getting the captain's ashes is a real pain sometimes.

>>168233224
I bought it off cdkeys.com, you can get a 5% discount if you checkout their facebook page. Price is higher now, but I paid 22 €.

>>168233221
The second bonfire is hidden behind a side path, and blocked by a petrified statue.

And, you're completely leaving out the entire under-gulch area.

So what if it runs more like a gauntlet, and less like a fully designed zone, it's still treacherous for anyone on their first attempt going through that.

If you didn't know to bring fire arrows of some sort with you, you were pretty screwed on a blind run.

I got it here and apparently it's the cheapest atm https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/857-buy-key-steam-dark-souls-3/

>>168233416
I realized the burning tar gimmick after I rolled through them with my torch out. I've just been lobbing firebombs into them.
The invader is my biggest problem right now though

>>168233206
No, the golems are those you fight in Drangleic Castle.

Anyone got some good sliders for a skeleton / Nameless King character?
Trying to look as close as possible to it for the past hour but every try comes out looking almost the same and not good at all.

>>168233276
Eh I didn't really mind. I was just waiting for bellfag invasions anyway.

I love doing that indiana jones shit, and rolling with the torch over the tar.
