first off, there is no indication that any undead has ever actually become a dragon, dragon form is only a pale imitation of the real deal

judging from the serpent ring descriptions, it is possible to turn into a dragon. serpents are those who failed to turn into dragons.

You won't be able to defend with it effectively, but I BELIEVE you will still get the stamina buff if that's your concern
>>
>>168758254
You're supposed to drink your Estus in order to survive. You just need to remember that you're still taking damage during the Estus animation, so you need to sip early and regularly.

Also, just block-run in a straight line in the lava pool where you kill Tsorig. There's some kind of glitch that makes it deal the lava damage to your shield and stamina as long as you don't change movement direction, so you can get to an item scot-free and then save your Estus for the trip back.

They're Jailers, of course you're not supposed to take them head-on. Sneak up on them and smash them in the back, they have zero poise so you can stagger them stupidly easily.

And technically those screaming corpses, like any breakable object and sound, will alert nearby Jailers to investigate.

Also, you forgot about the hand hippos.

The best way to get good fashion is to pick one set/weapon you want to use, then build everything revolving around matching with that.

For example, I picked the Cathedral knight helm and ended up with a stoic paladin.
The other way is to pick a central theme.

>>168763101
Why
>>
>>168763104
Instead of you having one damage type at a higher value to hit against a defense type you have three damage types of lower values hitting three different defense types, way less effective due to how the system works.

Once you buff something like the drakeblood GS, one of those damage values is boosted enough that it can almost work somewhat well.
>>
>>168763104
drakeblood has to deal with the enemy's defense in 3 elements instead of just one
this basically lets the guy you're hitting get 3x the amount of "flat damage reduction" (not actually flat) from his defense stats

"something about its silhouette suggests femininity"
its a womans armor, designed to look feminine for a women
>>
>>168762131
Rather than specifying a specfic level for taking on Ashes of Ariandel, anon, I can make a better suggestion:

Get at least 27 vigor. This gets you around 1300 health embered, which is enough to survive the last boss' most damaging combos, assuming medium armor (~20% absorption)

Be able to do at least 1000 damage in five hits or two to three spell casts.

if you use shields to block very often, it would be very wise to have significant investment in Endurance. I suggest a minimum of at least 30.

Having your estus flasks fully upgraded is also highly recommended. 12 count and 8 power can work, too.

Honestly this entire questline pisses me off. It's so trash for no reason.

1) Lock dark miracles until Karla or torture the poor girl to insanity and have to kill Eygon
2) Eygon dies for no fucking reason offscreen anyway
3) If you teach the bitch all the good miracles, she becomes a fire keeper. Instead of creating an interesting interaction with the current FK she goes and sits in a fucking crypt you have no reason to visit with a single line of new dialogue

The actual best ending is to not talk to Eygon when he visits and don't buy all the good miracles.

Clergy characters best characters.
I honestly think only pieces made of cloth can mesh perfectly well together when you mix them between different sets. Armor almost always look off one way or another, but that hood and those robes are almost indistinguishable.

Evangelist's Hat + Fire Keeper doesn't look as good but it's another example of that, I think.

I thought the idea was that they get an orb to distinguish them from sentinels, whom would retain automatic invasions. You wouldn't have to depend on another convenant if you just invaded reds, and covenant rewards being hard to farm wouldn't matter because you can just invade.

Who cares about your trap god.

2 has the most bosses by a good amount.

Ds2 is your choice, the three dlcs are good, each NG+ is different, PvP is less cringey, the main problem is that you shall be alone since nobody plays it rn.
>>
>>168776549
SotFS has the most raw content. It also has rewards for no death/no bonfire runs and a PVE covenant that increases difficulty.

If you consider PVP to be content, then DS3 will likely be the most active.

level the hp stat
you only really need to level equipload until it's high enough that you can be 69% weight with the weapon/armor you want to use
but it's still viable to just leave it at the base level and run around naked all the time. armor is more relevant than in ds3 but it's not incredibly important

Is the Dark Souls 3 DLC worth it?
>>
das2 has no hard breakpoints, it's just slowly increasing stamina regen speed and roll distance the lower weight you are -- notably, iframes are the same at 0% or 70%

you can do just fine in pvp and through the whole game running around practically naked
(bestfashion is flower skirt + noshirt + bell or onion hat, of course)

if you really want to meme it up with max poise full havels and whatnot, go ahead, but leveling your equipload enough to be 50% weight in that is a huge stat expenditure that's not really worth it

>>
>>168777357
Well, Agility had breakpoints for your roll iframes. You need to level ADP/ATN to get a half-decent roll. Equip load doesn't matter too much beyond that.

>>168777534
There is no Souls game where you should skip the HP stat.
>>
if I deleted the patches and started a new game, will fugs be the best weapon again?

Always level hp, get enough equip load so you are not fat rolling.

I'm gonna have to make a brand new character to run through every covenant in the game exhaustively, aren't I.

What's the best kind of build for twinking? Still pyro like DS1?

Talking about ds3 obviously
>>
>>168777534
No, in 2 there are more tiers of rolling, staying under 50% makes you run faster and roll further, at 70% you may aswell be fatrolling.
>>
>>168777789
SL15 pyro with the dark hand, pump vig and if you feel like it go kill volnir to get black serpent, it'll be a nice tool to keep people on edge, dont worry dark hand has good enough damage that it'll carry you all the way to irithyll.
>>
>>168777534
>i thought under 70% equip was the same for everything

unlike DaS3s shitty cut off system DaS2 had gradual roll degredating

not technically
every single multiplayer covenant token can also be tediously farmed off of some enemy or other

You can only spawn in the covenant rewards.

As long as you're in the SL40 range or so, you'll get more than enough activity and shitty players to get your Dregs. Above that, and there's no guarantee you aren't in gank city.

You drop something like fading soul, tab back to cheat engine, use the item helper to find the id for what you want, copy the id, paste it in the ID field on the table, and it replaces it (for some reason this current version doesn't autofill it for you like the older one did)

Then when you pick it up it's the item you specified.

Try being a purple. You never ever want to kill the summon because it'll make you go poof and then the host will just resummon. The fuck is even the point? Its nice if you want the rewards but I'm sitting on a stack of 99 or more shackles

Honestly compared to those two DS3 firekeeper got shafted to the point I'd say just bring back bonfire leveling from DS1.

She could still be in the game as eye candy, which she basically is anyway.

>>168782230
I wasn't spamming R1 until I used the Hollowslayer (which is yes why I missed the riposte, which I'm thankful for), I would throw one attack out, he'd start circling with his shield up and go right for my back and he'd always get me since the endlag on UGS's are the length of Titanic.

Also he's an asshole because of the "Welcome" gesture and the fact that he Alt+F4'd when he lost

I would totally kill an AFK host if I invade one, so he wasn't an ass because of that

isn't that the only point of invading as a purple though
reds can still attack other reds, so the only real difference is which item you get as a reward and whether or not you get sent home early

if you invaded an afk host you could just repeatedly bop them with a broken ladle for while using warmth to heal them back up until you broke all their rings and armor

You could also use hacks and just throw 10 corrosive urns all at once, works for non-afk hosts too.

A lot of quests are better if you just dont finish them

If you finish Orbeck quest he dies

You have to kill Hawkwood and Leonhard if you progress their quests
Sirris dies if you finish the questline
Anri dies anyways so w/e

Not every character dies in Bloodborne

The old woman doesnt die if you dont follow her quest
The narrow minded man doesnt die if you send him to the church, to do that you have to tell him to go to Iosefka
Chapel Samaritan and Patches also dont die
Djura doesnt die if you approach his back by no aggroing him
Adella also doesnt die as far i can remember
Alfred and Eileen dont die as long you dont progress their questlines, the same with Annalise if you dont follow Alfred quest
Arianna becomes crazy but if you dont kill the baby alien she will remain alive
The begar can also be kept alive if you just dont talk to him
>>
>>168784460
It's funny, because everyone told me For Honor's PvP was like Dark Souls PvP because of the same streamers doing it, and I laughed because they're nothing alike.

Then I sat down and really watched some high level play, and saw all the early warning signs of the exact same cancerous design tumours already appearing in the metagame, and now it really does just remind me of Dark Souls 3 PvP.
>>
>>168784662
In DS3? Id say that the 4 Black Knights after Champion Gundyr are nice enemies to farm, since you can kill all 4 of them from a safe spot and they give a nice ammount of souls

Well then you're gonna be disappointed. Lances aren't even considered a weapon class anymore and IIRC there's a single one in DS3 and it sucks.

I've read about this, I knew that it would be a huge dissapointment but I wanted to try it because I'm sick tired of straightswords/magic.
>>
>>168789385
There's only one actual lance in ds3, and it ain't that good. It's pikes now mostly. At the beginning area you can farm the big knights for their pike, and 2 a little later you can farm the gyus with giant logs to get the pike. After that, you'll find the greatlance later in the game. Contrary to the name, the greatlance isn't that great. For a pike build you want to go with a quality build with 25/25 str/dex. You can later boost that up to 40/40 for more damage.

So is it just me or are all of the parts of DS3 that fall back on DS1 nostalgia the worst parts of the game?

>Lower Farron swamp
>Smouldering Lake & Demon Ruins
>An Anor Londo that is 4 rooms covered in shit and a door we can't open
>Halfass kiln with no black knights or Lothric knights or anything whatsoever
>The entirety of the AoA DLC

It's not like I'm against fanservice (there's plenty in Ds3 that I like), but I think DS3 went way the hell overboard and it impacted the quality of the game.

I would say there is potential for improvement, like adding the cut archstone, giving 8 directional rolls etc., but the original is still playable and the trend of just releasing the same game again for easy cash in should really stop.

So what bosses did you guys NEVER EVER died to since release, both on NG and future NG+?

For me its

DS1: Pinwheel, Sanctuary Guardian, Sif, Centipede Demon, Gwyndolin.

DS2: Still playing NG, I ront remember their names but many of them were on 1st try.

DS3: Vordt, Oceiros

Except those dragon statues and maybe slugs/leeches.
>>
>>168792671
I think I've died to every single boss at least once in DaS1. (yes, even pinwheel because I was too cautious so he spawned like 3 clones and I got bombarded with fireballs)

DaS2: that dragon before dragon aerie

DaS3: up until a few minutes ago I would have said the wyvern but I actually missed the plunging attack
>>
>>168792867
Lingering flame? Does it explode on enemy proximity or after a set time?
>>
>>168793023
No. You throw the projectile like a fireball, it sticks to the ground and then blows up after a time-delay.

The time delay on the boss version is significant, like 6 seconds. Player version will probably be less.
>>
>>168792671
I've probably died to every boss in every Souls game at least once since I'm a PvEfag and I tend to do ridiculous builds and low level playthroughs.

That said, it's a point of pride that Ludwig hasn't ever killed me but I think that's just because of how his AI reacts with my playstyle. I've never once seen the charge attack that people always mention when talking about Ludwig.

I'm sure that would be fine, apparently the order of most effective stats is dex, then int, then strength, then faith, but the differences are probably marginal if they're all still D. This is all pulled from a guy on kekstralife comment section though.

Your bread and butter combo is l1 l1 r1 r1. Approach with sprinting l1 because it moves you far and has a fucky hitbox.

not really worth it. They require 20 dex and with base physical requirements (12 str/20dex) and 30/30 You have about the same damage as a 40 dex character. I guess you could use them but you're better off dark infusing a weapon with lower stat requirements.

>>168794128
All of the lords of cinder who've linked the flame have a fire gimmick in their second mode, ironically the lord that's yet to link the flame has fire in his first.

It refers to the dudes that actually linked the flame. Others than the LoCs. Who used a pike among them? If they linked the flame, why do they have their souls? They would have either burned out or killed prematurely and have their souls taken if they had. How did they end up where they are? Aldrich's coffin is nowhere near the First Flame. Even if he and the rest were actually buried in the cemetery of ash, how did they get to their positions? Firelink Shrine isn't connected to those places. Also, I'm pretty sure there was some reference about Aldrich waking up in the CotD, but I'm not sure, I'll look it up.

Its because they are a Lord of Cinder, which grants you the power of fire when you sacrifice yourself. The only reason why Lorian is able to use fire - even though he and his brother chose not to link the fire - is because he fought the Demon Prince with his sword, which embued his sword with flame powers.

>>168794241
No man, the reason why they fight each other is because SOME of them has been infected by the abyss, after having fought it for so long. If you look at the cape of the one with the red eyes, you can see some black vines creeping up on it - (its on the player armor too). It kinda indicates that they have been infected, after having fought against it for so long.

You literally spend half of the game going to ring the Bells of Awakening.

>>
>>168796748
Anon, you seem to understand very little.

The title "Lord of Cinder" describes someone with the strength to link the flame, NOT someone who has already linked the flame in the past. Aldrich acquired this strength by eating dudes.

Linking the Flame is the mandate of a Lord of Cinder, their duty. Aldrich is implied to have obeyed this mandate (meaning that he linked the flame) in Hawkwood's dialogue and in the description of his Cinders of a Lord, which explains that he grew disillusioned with Fire upon his Throne (language used to describe linking the flame in DaS2).

No, they were Undead who never got good enough to link the flame and were consumed after the CU, etc. linked the flame for them. If you've ever wondered "what happened to all the other shitter undeads in the world when the CU links the flame," the Unkindled are your answer.

Basically, when the flame is linked the dichotomy between life and death gets strong enough again that all Undead spontaneously either die or become mortal again. After their death and burial, in DaS3 they get revived by the Bell as a side effect of it necromancing Lords of Cinder, as Unkindled.

>>168796849
In a world with undead and souls used as fuel, resurrection makes more sense than creating souls out of nothing. And if the "bell magic" used preexisting souls to make the souls of the LoCs, why not just dump those souls into the fire?
You don't have to get angry someone disagrees with you.
>>168797031

>Where is this fanfic from?
you can read all of the class backstories in DaS3 to find out what your unkindled was doing before death, most of them weren't doing anything even remotely close to pursuing firelinking, they were doing miscellaneous quests around the world. they were undead normies just living their lives.

This is bullshit. Unkindled are undead who tried to link the fire but were consumed in the process since their souls weren't powerful enough. It's what would happen if you were to grab a random hollow in the burg and made it link the fire.

the bell seems to revive only the last few guys to do it, so as more people link the flame the "roster" would logically get rotated

also I don't think that people called on it very often, it's more of an emergency situation
>>
>>168797512
If you think that's bad, greatswords and straightswords all have a 50% damage reduction while performing the stance R2.
>>
Oh lord, why do you have to beat Nameless King 3 times for the Dark Souls achievement? I deal no fucking damage and he can two-shot me on NG++.
>>
>>168797750
Yeah you'll lose a trade against stance R2 of a straight sword even with an ultra weapon.
>>
>>168797726
Man, it's weird that in all those cycles, technology seems not to have advanced at all. But at least some kingdoms seem to persist, like Astora? Then again who knows what sort of time fuckery is going on in the series.

Here are two concrete examples of your Unkindled wasting their "first" life accomplishing nothing in particular, let alone attempting to link the flame. The rest describe the classes going about undertaking quests for their own personal goals, not for the good of the world.

>>168797921

I need the gold serpent ring +2 and that's in the area that unlocks after the fight. If I'm not mistaken.

You're right, good luck with that.

Looks like you're right, my mistake.

Lawd almighty I don't know WTF they were thinking with the rings in DS3.

You try permanently advancing civilization when every few hundred years society is destroyed by a zombie plague and also the world physically starts shitting itself

>>168797698
It was sarcasm, you autist. I demonstrated that being a LoC means you have enough power to link the flame for a meaningful amount of time. Something our character in 3 does not. And I showed right under that that Aldrich was in CotD
>>168797865
Astora is long gone, iirc
>>
Why are all unkindled related to a Lord of Cinder? What's our connection to the princes?
>>
>>168798248
but they aren't?
>>
>Sword Master is kicking my ass on a Thief starter
>realize that if I just spam R1 it procs bleed on the last hit of my stamina
>do this 3 times to kill him

I feel so dirty.
>>
>>168798308
So it's just coincidence that all unkindled we met are linked to a lord of cinder?
>>
>>168798139
Is it really a hundred years? Could be longer. I can imagine the cycle getting shorter and shorter each time.

I am rather curious what causes there to be failsafe mechanism in using previous Lords of Cinder. Eh, probably something Gwyn and Seath cooked up.

I'll be rather disappointed if Ringed City does not offer some sort of additional ending that is not as downing as the others. In DS2 Scholar it's at least implied that you character has enough resolve to try to find another way if you decline to sit on the throne.

Did that even involve linking the fire? Were you just burned behind closed doors?
>>
>>168798324
You're a taffer. Ya doing good.
>>
>>168798357
Different guy here but that's probably an element to flesh out the characters a bit. As far as what the player character's connection is, is up to you to decide. You can make your own backstory and decide if there's a connection, that's how blank slate RPG characters work.
>>
>>168798357
Who is connected to Ludleth though? Gundyr? Was he stayed to be unkindled
>>168798405
Gwyn held 1000. But none has been quite as strong.
>>
>>168797562
Still seems a bit far fetched to conclude that all undead just die after linking the flame.
>>
>>168798031
Interesting, I don't think I ever read the class descriptions. Maybe they were used to light bonfires after collapsing? I don't see how the act of linking the fire could turn random undead into ash
>>
>>168798513
I see, I guess that makes sense.

>>168798589
Was Gundyr unkindled? I don't remember he lighting up
>>
>>168797719
>>168797425
>>168797562
>>168798031
To be honest mates, the lore is in general kinda vague on the specifics of what being an Unkindled one is. None of you can claim to be 100% right in this.
>>
>>168791859
like so
>>
>>168798186
>It was sarcasm

It was taking an argument to the extreme because you couldn't make an argument any other way, I'd imagine because halfway through typing some smarmy nonsense you realized that eating people and growing stronger is a pretty common theme in Souls, even if most people don't consume the actual flesh of their opponents. Gaining souls to power up was the entire point of the Lordvessel in DS1 and the door to the Shrine of Winter in DS2.

>I showed right under that that Aldrich was in CotD

You showed that his coffin was in the CotD after he'd already left it, which is something that everyone already knew. I'll reiterate, the opening sequence of the game shows Aldrich oozing out of a coffin outdoors.
>>
>>168798620
It would make sense. They are in a body that cannot sustain life and they are suddenly able to die. They either all die, all turn human or only those in hollow form due, the rest live normal life spans
>>
>>168797608
So just go get it then
>>
>>168798956
Aye, I remember how Anastasia (the fire keeper from 1) implored the CU to link the fire so she could die human again
>>
>>168798589
Its more likely that Ludleth is Gundyrs unkinkled one. Some speculate that when Gundyr was too late to link the fire, Ludleth was the one who did it, in his stead. This can kinda be explained by the fact that he knows how to soul tranposse, and while not being strong himself, he might have had a lot of strong souls on him - enough to link the first flame. It can also be supported by the fact that he knows who the dead firekeeper is, in the Dark Firelink Shrine - and that firekeeper was most likely Gundyrs.

It cant be confirmed, but I like the theory. It kinda makes sense, since Ludleth is called the exiled one.
>>
>>168798620
Anastacia implies that this is what happens, way back in DaS1, though

Miyazaki doesn't explicitly name DSP, but at a convention where From was previewing one of their DS2 dlcs Miyazaki states that miracles and other spells were getting nerfed because people were abusing them and "lost track of the point of the game". Or something similar.

She's for anything you want since she has no legs to run and no tongue to call for help. But I wouldn't recommend it, I've seen her face

the fact that casters have 2-3 mandatory rings (sage being mandatory unless you have 50 dex) is pretty fucking shitty and makes duel casting close to impossible

>>168799527
Did he also gave the order there being GIANT ENEMY CRAB/TREE with weakpoints for massive damage?
>>
>>168800275
Not that guy, but it's only annoying if you go for the achievement because you need ALL versions of the rings. I actually would have preferred the old "get all boss weapons" thing instead because you don't need a guide for that.
>>
>>168800275
>Only people I could imagine complaining about it are pvp autists

Quite the opposite Anon, I'm a PvE autist who can't stand not having all the trophies but I also don't like NG+ cycles in DS3 since they're back to just making everything a damage sponge.

I'm not certain he even plays these things, from what I've read he's a big ol' shieldbabby which kind of makes me wonder if he's part of the bigass chunk of the people who buy these games and quit early. IIRC something like 50% of the people who've started DS1 on PS3 have beaten Pinwheel and some 40% of the people who've started Bloodborne ragequit before beating the first necessary boss (Gascoigne).

Obviously digital purchases that never get played can throw these numbers but I figure most people on console are buying physical copies and taking the time to put them in and start them up since physical media is one of the major points of having a console.
>>
>>168798768
Basically this. The lore is vague because of roleplay potential.

>>168797562
>most of them weren't doing anything even remotely close to pursuing firelinking, they were doing miscellaneous quests around the world

Hence, they failed to link the fire. Even though it wasn't probably given to them as a duty, they were not fit to

I'm no pvp god, but if the R2 is the thrust one just manually aim it.
if it's the overhead one, either space pretty well or do an uncharged r2 to bait to either a delayed r1 or r2.

If this fight wasn't so fucking intense I'd be mad as hell right now. I'm too much of a shitter to parry him (or anything in this game really)
>>
>>168801807
>Hence, they failed to link the fire. Even though it wasn't probably given to them as a duty, they were not fit to
which is what I'm trying to say. The argument here is between

a) Unkindled are Undead who tried to link the fire, but it didn't take because their souls were too puny and so they were burned to ash accomplishing nothing, leaving a stronger guy to come do it successfully in their place

b) Unkindled are Undead who never attempted linking the flame in the first place, and who were rendered mortal and died after the local Lord of Cinder did it for them.

I am arguing for (b)
>>
>>168801849
If anything it's FROM's b

I can understand some uninfusable weapons but the stuff in DS3 that's unbuffable is pretty ridiculous, especially when you put it alongside the stuff that is.

>DSA can be buffed
>DBS can be buffed
>Anri's SS can be buffed
>WHS can't be buffed
>Blessed weapons can't be buffed
