You can, there are other blacksmiths, but you're locked out of weapons that are upgraded with normal titanite and demon titanite.

Use dragon weapons and special weapons, that are upgraded with twinkling titanite and dragon scales. You can upgrade those at any smith, and one of the smiths can't be killed because he literally inside jail.

The smith inside the jail is in New Londo Ruins, the dark place with ghosts, but way before you meet any ghost. Just explore a bit and you'll find him.

I'll make a list of the weapons you can use, just give me a moment.

>Hammer of Vamos (Twinkling Titanite)
You can get this one by killing the blacksmith in the catacombs. It's a very solid hammer.

>Ghost Blade/Jagged Ghost Blade (Twinkling Titanite)
This one you can get from the ghosts in the dark ruins of New Londo. It's pretty good.

>Drake Sword (Dragon Scale)
Despite what people say, it's a solid weapon once it's upgraded. You can get it by cutting off the red dragon on the bridge tail. Just buy a shitload of arrows and shoot it from below the bridge

>Stone Greatsword (Twinkling Titanite)
Weights a ton and has no R2, but can be fun. Drops from the stone giants in the forest.

>Black Knight Weapons (Twinkling Titanite)
All are good, but it's luck to get or not them. They drop from the knights that carry them.
There is 1 knight in the Undead Burg (the undead village at the beginning), 3 back at the Asylum (look up how to get back there), 1 down in the catacombs, 1 down in the base of the forest after the smith and 1 on top of a tower just before the big steel boar. So you have a decent chance.

Any of these weapons can carry you through the game and are obtainable easily at the beginning (before ringing a single bell) without needing massive knowledge about the game.

the world is collapsing. the archtrees can hardly support the land and whole areas sink, which also causes the deep waters to rise. it is why areas get deeper and why places originally far apart get closer together. assuming real-like gravity, this might also explain why we are able to fall several hundered meters and survive at places

Forgot to mention. Look up on youtube how to find Vamos, if you want to use his hammer. It's not very smart to kill ANOTHER blacksmith, but granted this one is not so important.

If you go with the drake sword, upgrade your stats of str and dex to use it and nothing more, because it doesn't benefit at all from your stats. if you have 99 STR and 16 STR the damage is the same. It's all about upgrading it.

I played DS1 before DS3 (obviously) and found DS3 harder. In DS1, just get a good shield and you can just block your way through everything. In DS3, blocks actually drain more stamina from the blocker than the opponent, so they are almost useless. Getting a backstab is also harder. So it took a lot of adjusting to.
>>
>>169616723
You'll meet him if you go through the Catacombs the "normal" way without immediately jumping into the Bonewheel pit.
He gets his own fancy cutscene and all.
>>
>>169617210
IE: In DS1 you could take on a black knight like this:

>Circle around behind him
>Backstab
>Repeat

With literally 0 skill involved or risk of getting hit.

>tfw played Demons Souls first

THE best one to start with. It would never be anywhere near the same if I didn't start with Demons Souls

my first playthrough I didn't even know how to upgrade weapons and I went through the first half of the game with a longsword +0 before I gave up.

I think 60% of the demons souls love here is nostalgia 'cause if I went to play that game after all the dark souls stuff as someone younger than their mid 20s it would be kinda lame to be honest.

Nigga it's not a little easier, it's what the game was fucking designed around. Like, fuck, would you rather save money on your car and try driving it without a fucking steering wheel?

You just admitted you're a retard, so maybe listen to those of us who aren't retarded when we say it's worth it. And it's not like you have to fucking throw it away once you're done with the game, you'll now have a controller to play other games with.

In DS3 there are these assassin's creed zombies, and if you face 2 or 3 of them at once it can be tougher than a boss. Same thing with taking on 2 or 3 black or silver knights at once.

The sword removes the curse and transfers it to the weilder.

The sword may have been a part of a ceremonial vow to the way of white, hence the circlet design and curse removal.

gwyn is the dark lord. He feared the dark, like all dark lords, and lit his great soul on fire to create a bastardized age of fire, and when the fire started to fade, threw himself into it. Frampt supports gwyns decision, but kaathe considers him a fool and wants a true dark lord.

But Anri is one of the hollows in the ending.

I don't think it removes the curse from them. I think it's like Yoel, able to just give a curse. But it needs someone who is cursed first to do so.

>>169621047
if this is your very first time playing ds1, I would immediately advise not going with a magic build because it kind of ruins the whole part where you have to learn the combat system
that said, sorcerers do have more charges. the very basic soul arrow has IIRC 40 charges and you can get 2 or 3 copies of those, and sorcerers also have a bunch of different attack spells (basically variations of soul arrow with a higher level of base damage, and then for each of those levels another variation that does more damage with a longer cast time)

>>169621207
By not leveling Str, Dex or Vit. Cloth armor and a basic backup weapon like a dagger.

Since you're going to be fighting at range, you don't need as much End, and you get Agi through Att, so not as much Adp either (just aim for around 96 Agi in the end).

You get a shot or two off while they're plonking towards you and then dodge.

Casting does not usually take longer than swinging a big weapon, especially once you get dat speed up.

I honestly wouldn't try to use magic or offensive miracles as a bonus either, because you'll be splitting your stats too much
something like heal and so on is probably fine so you can have some out of combat healing

It gained a way bigger following than DeS ever did, which meant that a bunch of people who only ever played God of War went in and tried to kill everything with epic hitstrings, then got fucking owned by the first four hollows they saw in Lordran, and said WOW THIS IS SUCH A HARDCORE GAME
If you know to take your time, don't get greedy, and be methodical, the game is quite easy. There are so many ways to make it easier as well, like playing a sorcerer, overleveling and stacking VIT and END with a poise setup, or summoning like a wuss
Another thing is that people weren't really used to having to attempt a boss more than 2 or 3 times

Bleed rewards aggressive playstyles so if you're the type to wail on people it's nice. It's also an amazing way to fuck with people who hide behind shields a lot because the bleed will still build up.

Well if we're talking PvE, Bleed is really really overpowered in my opinion. It makes a lot of bosses trivial.

I assume you're on PC, right?

SotFS is much better optimized than base DaS2, you'll get smooth 60 FPS quite easily.

Enemy placements can be hit and miss, depending on your opinion. There are actual Heide Knights at Heide's Tower of Flame now (which means you can actually farm their armor and the sword), and the item placement has moved around somewhat (you can get infusions right after beating Pursuer, instead of having to slog through Iron Keep). Personally I found that the placement changes make more sense in over 80% of the areas.

There's a new NPC and some new random invasions. He technically has a reason to exist, but he does nothing but talk and be an optional final boss.

Item durability is still shit, you'll probably want to carry two or more weapons at all times regardless.

Depending on how much money you paid, it may not have been a mistake. I found SotFS to be well worth the $17 I paid for it, if you paid more then it might not be worth it to you.

No, big weapons are good in ds3. You need no poise to withstand most attacks. Only thing you need to keep an eye on is your stamina.

>>169624808
They do an okay job of mowing groups in 2, but you'll wish you were dead when they don't.

They're fine in 3, just kind of underwhelming in terms of how hard an r1 spamming weapon can blender shit. Because they're BB enemies, they stagger really easily, so you can just trade everything without giving a shit, while fastrolling with a heavy weapon.

People say Hawkwood is hard because you can't interrupt his UGS swings and he can hit hard plus he has more estus healing than other NPC's you fight so it can drag on. Hodrick however is instantly piss easy if you keep him debuffed with Lloyd's Talismans because when he wants to heal, he'll repeatedly try to drink his estus even though he can't.
>>
>>169624808
Ignore both of those memers. All of the Soulsborne games have large gangbangs and DS3 'bloodborne enemies' kjkare balanced with the game's general speed. And you can use slow ass weapons in Bloodborne too just fine despite the game having large gangbangs of fast enemies.

I think her chime is good at Hexing, but I also think most chime Hexes cost souls, which fucks up your SM if you care about the event.

May as well buy some of the healing spells from her, it makes the early game easier and Homeward and Caressing Tears can save you some souls for not buying Homeward Bones and Poison Moss. You get her shit when you talk to her at 30 Fai, which is where you want to soft-cap Hexes anyways.

>>169625276
Ultras grant hyperarmor during its swings. The base hyperarmor is good and withstands most quick attacks that would interrupt you. It is worth it to increase poise though, as it improves the amount of hits/heavier hits you can withstand
>>
>>169625662
I assume it would either be a rapier or a dagger class weapon
>>
>>169625276
No, there's no poise in ds3 like there was in ds1. Poise = hyperarmor in this game which means that if you have poise and you're in the middle of an attack, you can't be knocked out of it. But the only weapons that get hyperarmor are heavy weapons like halberds, ultras, greatswords, maces, etc.

>>
>>169625713
Oh, there's more to be gotten out of SotFS than the base game. Beyond the re-arranged enemy placements and aforementioned NPC plus random invaders, there are also new named invaders to spice things up. Those random invaders also let you buy their shit at Straid's when you beat enough of them, the armor is decent but the weapons are hollowing-based so they're not so good unless you walk around with Ring of Binding all the time (and maybe accumulate sin for additional hollowing, not sure if that works).

As for build, Faith is shit after all those nerfs, but Hexes will still tear through most enemies in the base game (assuming you've played the DLC before, you know what to expect there). Full quality is fun for power-stancing, though there aren't that many new weapons to warrant doing it again if you already tried it in base DaS2.

Personally I found Sorcery to be pretty fun, once you get MLGS and Repair, you can spam the beams at will and reload as necessary.

>>169626583
DaS1 dragon form, frankly, looks ridiculous.
DaS2 dragon form looks nice but it's not so much a transformation as it is a magic suit of armor.
DaS3 dragon form is a disgusting abomination, which is what a human transforming into a dragon should look like.

DS1 > DS3 > DS2 mechanics-wise

DS1 dragon form was the best. Powerful as fuck roar adding even more damage to hypermode builds. Dragon head which was hilarious to use in low-level invasions.

DS3 one can break most shields in 1 roar. This is enough to oversee how ugly it looks. Make a greatshield dragon turtle to offset shit defenses and just roar if someone tries to counter-turtle you.

DS2 dragon form? Really? It's just a fucking set of armor. Shitty roar, shitty dragon breath, both have zero usage and barely add damage to your attack. Aside from them it's just a light armor and not really a good one for robflynn setups.
>>
>>169627323
It's funny how the AI in DaS3 took such a massive step backwards.

>Bradley of the Old Guard: calls you over and heals you if you're low, takes pressure off of you in fights

>>
>>169628337
>Jester Thomas: takes out a sword when you cast Profound Still
Does he? I have never seen the goddamn clown pulling a sword.

That said, if you're going to mention DaS3 invaders, you should probably mention Yellowfinger Heysel, whom in my last game simply decided she would NEVER leave the poison swamp and would just constantly ping me with darts from there. i had to ping her down with goddamn lightning urns to beat her.

Also Knight Slayer "Trust no one" Tsorig.
>>
Why was DS1 so popular on 360?
>>
>>169628776
It was not the game but the console.
The 360 had an awesome catalogue overall and titles like dark souls only added more jewelry to the crown.
>>
>>169628629
There's a WebM of him pulling out a sword once he gets hit by Profound Still. Same for Creamfilled just standing there and doing nothing during Vow of Silence.

That guy's a laugh. Not only can you make him fight himself, but you can chuck an Alluring Skull into the lava pool and make him burn himself to death.

3. Don't kill the big tree.
4. Get to Lost Izalith, loot it.
5. Send Greirat out to plunder Irithyll, kill the big tree.
6. Go to Irithyll Dungeon.

You level vigor and endurance first, while using a raw/deep/fire enchant on a weapon with a good moveset. Then you start levelling damage after vigor is at least 30.

That's because they lifted a bunch of stuff straight out of the DaS1 strategy guide, which was top-notch. And because DaS1 was enough of a blockbuster hit that it attracted all of the right kinds of attention to the Wikia.

They're slow and their damage is low compared to other weapons.
>>
>>169634229
They are top tier. At least some of them are. All the tryhards go for Gargoyle Flame Spear. Dragonslayer Spear is good too.

They have good range (duh) and counter damage with Leo ring. You need to play defensively and zone out your opponents. Weakness is shit tracking and large stamina consumption and crap weapon arts (easy to parry charge attacks). Can't trade well vs greatswords even with counter damage.

You're invincible during your roll (not all frames of it but enough) so there's always enough room to roll

Would you rather:

True that, but the empowered R2 of the GA can still fuck somebody up in one shot if the guy is not careful enough.

Bloodborne is an amazing game jfc.
I have gone so many times "Why don't they do x?" in Dark Souls and most of my wishes have been fulfilled by Bloodborne.

The level design of areas like Forbidden Woods is one of my absolute favorite things about BB and the world design is God-tier too. I see a lot of BB's good sides in DS3 too, but DS3's levels are way too broken up with the poor checkpointing.

>>169639125
Its the same with any physical weapon infusion and resin.

That's because Resin is a consumable item that costs souls (AKA farming) and only lasts 1 minute while the element/status infusions are permanent and naturally better than physical infusions without resin.

You can farm 7920 souls on NG from the dragonblood knights in dragon mausoleum per phantom and they respawn quite quickly.

I spent the last 2 days farming hollow stones and souls to upgrade 6 weapons to hollow +10 and it was not much of a bother.
I highly doubt anyone can have money problems in this game.

It still takes time farming. Also you can only take 5 of each resin on a run. Also, it has a long casting animation.

If you're invading often, you'll blow through resin and have to go through the annoyance of farming.

"The serpent is an imperfect dragon and symbol
of the Undead. Its habit of devouring prey

association with gluttony.

This gold ring, engraved with the serpent,
boosts its wearer's item discovery, so that
more items can be amassed."

No mention of conflict with gods. Also, they are known to eat undead. Undead are probably easier to eat than gods.

Not much, but here's the thing:
Say that you have your lvl 3 party going into lvl 1-3 missions.
Well, if some of those characters level up to 4 then you can't bring them to lvl 1-3 runs, forcing you to level up a B team.
Then they level up to 5+ and they tell you to fuck up and git good you you have to build a C team to replace the B team.

NOW IMAGINE FOR A SEC
THAT YOUR C TEAM DIES
You would need a D team to act as a substitute while you cannot use lvl 4 and 5 characters in low level missions, hence gambling all or nothing in your lvl 4-5 run being successful.

there are better ways of getting food that doesn't involve a grandiose and overly-complex scheme not even designed by them.

check this excerpt from the bible:

> Genesis 2:16-17

And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

>Genesis 3:1-7 (see also Genesis 3)

>Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

>The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'"

>"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

>When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

In DaS1 leaving any covenant will cut your current offering level in half. So if you were at rank 2 in dorkmoons, with 30 offerings made, leaving/betraying the covenant will drop that down to 15.

Going to NG+ has no influence on your covenant ranks.

>>169640704
Why don't you just take dudes A, B, C, and D who are all level 3, then when one of them levels up you take him out and add some random filler heroes that you don't give a fuck about until A, B, C, and D are all the same level again?

Because the level dissadvantage is really huge and it may cost you the run.
I mean, you can do that and it MAY be worth it sometimes but most of the time you would be losing money on runs to the point where you will need money to engage in more runs being those runs the only way to get it.

It's not supposed to be so grindy but at the end of the day you will be grinding like it as a MMO.

Hmm I was wondering, guys...would a DoT oriented build work for both PvE and PvP?

Using Pestilent Mercury, Toxic Mist and Snap Freeze as spells, with Storyteller's Staff acting as both a catalyst and another DoT.

Weapon should be something like Ghru dagger or maybe just a Raw Astora SS with rotten pine resin.

What do you think about it?
>>

Bleed is fine in DS3 with fast weapons, like the Bandit's Knife. This is without Carthus Rouge.

Poison is beyond shit. It should do something like 30 hit points a second, not 3.

>>169641218

>Also what in the fuck is even larger than Frampt or Kaathe

dragons, but I really don't think that part is talking explicitly about the primordial serpents literally eating big shit. it's just a metaphor for greed.

if you want to go by the christian belief that the christian serpent is satan, it's possible the serpents are satanic beings (which is likely, the game says serpents are dragons that fell far from grace) they are likely either dragons or human beings who revolted, and were cast down. In such a case, all the serpents want to do is tear down the creations of the lord who punished them

in this case the serpents would be pygmies

in DeS EVERY archdemon was a gimmick fight

I actually really like when they do that, it makes it feel like a more unique culmination of a quest through difficult areas and bosses than when the boss is a generic fight like aldritch or abyss watchers

It also lifts from Buddhism and Shinto in certain elements, but that's all it is, inspiration. It doesn't form an entire story from one of them, you fucking idiot, there's a difference.

Like, it's neat to note the primordial serpents are a reference to the bible, but then trying to invent some bullshit narrative about the whole story being exactly the bible with the fall of man, an omnipresent god, etc. Is absolute fucking bullshit.

where did I say it was about the fall of man? the game is a human origin story that explores the meaning of life. It's like saying the garden of eden was a fall of man story because they got kicked out of the garden.

I said that the SERPENTS had fallen, like lucifer, which is specifically stated in-game. And they want to sabotage the person/people who caused it, which was most likely Gwyn

Sure you can make any boss hard if you just refuse to use the indended way to kill them.

>>169645631
Probably not for the "small, fast drake-sized monster" archetype

But I want to see them try their hand at making a boss that is a new, improved Ancient-Dragon style lumbering behemoth of a dragon that moves very slowly but each of its attacks is like the apocalypse coming to earth.

Like fly-over streams of fire that leave you incapable of seeing the sky for about half a minute, or strongly telegraphed, thunderous stomps that destroy buildings in a large radius and whose shockwave alone can send you flying and are instakill if they actually land on you.

Ancient Dragon was a tad disappointing for seemingly only having two attacks

No. You can get plenty of shackles through regular invading, which you should have plenty of opportunities for outside of the X-Bone. Even if you insist on farming them, both Carthus bonfires give you easy access to the weeb skeletons, and you can get easy kills using the boulders.

Dorkmoon has significantly less chance of PvP activity due to the small number of people using WoB compared to the large number of people with the blueberry badges, and the Silver Knights are a lot harder to kill than weeb skeletons.

People going Way of Blue get guaranteed activity since there's a fuckhuge queue of blueberries that want in, so whenever they get invaded by a red or purple they'll usually get a helper within seconds.

Your only real guarantee of getting activity as a Dorkmoon is:
1. Do it at low SL so that there's a higher chance of jumping in to help newbies who actually wear the badge, and

2. Take off and put on your blueberry badge every 15 minutes or so to reset your position in the blueberry stack

I was able to get around 8-10 Concords at SL50+6 inbetween Silver Knight farming, over the course of 3 days, on PC. I surmise that at lower SL's there's a higher chance of getting even more activity.

>>169651780
Phantom range isn't about hitboxes not being a proper size or whatnot, it's an effect of lag and P2P networking. If you're using a smaller weapon you can afford to sprint around in a fight and try to lead into a combo with a running attack, now you're thinking with phantom range.

Memezaki insisted on English voice acting for the same reason we get Muramasa with Japanese only voice acting here. It's supposed to be mysterious foreign fantasy. He went on record in an interview saying he was inspired to do it by reading a bunch of western fantasy books as a kid where he understood maybe every sixth word.

I'd say "butthurt amerifat detected" but I have the same shit internet.

It's FromSoft's fault for building a game that is only functional on a first world country's internet infrastructure and then marketing it internationally without knowing any other internet standards. The netcode is bad, but nipnong internet is "good enough" to handle it.
>>
>>169654945
But Im a filthy Spaniard my fellow nigger.

Even then, phantom range has nothing to do with network, just shitty game design.

I feel like some weird projection is going on here.

Phantom range exists in these sorts of games for the same reason aim assist exists on console shooters. Unlike Tekken, you don't have a perfect orthagonal 2d view of everything going on to precisely judge your reach. Dark Souls isn't the only game of its type to do this by far, and it's because otherwise all your attacks feel too short and it fucks with your ability to hit things in a way that feels natural, even if it makes sense.

Are you implying that fundamental mechanics that make games easier to play somehow stop being useful?

Look around nigger. You're still using Z-Targeting.

Your problem is that it's a quality of life PvE mechanic being used in a game that also has PvP, so it looks ridiculous from the other end.

Your problem is actually just being an assravaged babby who got raped by a SS too hard, but you know what I mean.

DaS3 was a cash grab, plain and simple. They took what they had with the Bloodborne Engine and re-purposed it with new assets to make a blockbuster game that only really succeeded because of the marketing.

As shitty as DaS2 is, you can glean a lot of small details that really show you that there was some love put into various parts of it. Conversely, when you look past the surface on DaS3 you can see that it's just a zombie rehash of DaS1 with Bloodborne makeup.

It's an over-exaggeration though. DaS3 is too competently made in many areas to be a total cashgrab. They put effort into a lot of stuff but the game is almost totally devoid of any fine bits of polish.

As I said I loved some assets the game had to offer but without the shiny paint that's the graphic engine DaS3 would be considered the worst in the series.
>>
>>169660386
Most movesets in DaS2 were pretty shit, but that's partly to do with how they tried to implement the power-stancing system. There was too much shit to balance, so they decided that removing weapons' unique movesets (outside of DLC weapons) would make it easier.

I surmise that's one of the reasons why weapon buffing was so powerful in DaS2, they limited the movesets but not how you could customize the weapons themselves.

>>169660684
Nobody's excusing how awful DaS2 was. But a bunch of small touches (unique backstab and riposte animations for each weapon class, Raime instantly going to stage 2 if you walk in with Velstadt's helmet, etc.) shows that, for everything that went wrong with the game, the developers at least believed in what they were doing.

Can you say the same thing about DaS3?

If you want to go off that shit alone then I guess 1 fucking sucks and nobody believed in it since like 2 dialogue lines change and Sif cries before fighting you is all that's different

DaS2 has a lot of individual polish but that does not excuse being a fucking terrible game. Plenty of terrible games have neat little details but still overall suck.

I would argue the whole Eldeitch Gods kidnapoing people, turning them into their children, killing people because looking at them makes you go crazy, and being condemened to an eternity of hell if you're a hunter is slightly worse than some tectonic plates shifting real fast.

>having a plague that turns people into beasts
It's actually invisible centipede-like vermin present within the blood vials caused by the curse of the Orphan of Kos.
Everyone that has had their blood ministered will eventually lose control to these vermin, and the more they resist, the more horrifying a beast they become.

>Can you say the same thing about DaS3?
So there are a few little things that I actually have noticed about 3 that makes me think they cared at least a little.

Outside of the Cathedral of the Deep, there's all those maggots and respawning undead, right? But once you reach the stairs to the front door of the cathedral, they give way to wardens and other enemies. What I thought was neat was that every single hollow on the upper level, along with the grave wardens and evangelists, all have some sort of fire-based weaponry. Whether it's arrows, a grab, spitting fire, or fucking immolating themselves, they all have some kind of fire ability. They're actually equipped to properly deal with the undead and shit that keeps showing up below the cathedral.

In archdragon peak, there are 71 petrified dragonkin and 44 enemies (counting the Drakeblood and naked guy with Ricard's, not counting rock lizards, havel, and full-on wyverns). There are 115 empty suits of armor at High Wall. Just saying.

Demon's, DaS1, DaS2, and BB all have plenty of unfinished content present. Demon's has an entire archstone as well.

AoA gave us arena

AotA gave us arena

AoA gave us 4 spells

AotA gave us 5 spells that were all broken except Dark Fog

AoA had 2 bosses, 1 had 3 phases and the other had an incredibly strong secondary boss as part of it

AotA had what's more comparable to a miniboss, a shitty dragon fight, and 2 good fights

AoA is short in fairness but there's some decent exploration within the presented areas.

AotA is a straight line to Artorias and a fairly linear walk through the town that at most has the side break off to go kill the mimic and get a couple of spells. Chasm of the Abyss is a straight path to Manus with one break to get a useless summon.

The only real difference is that AoA felt more rushed than AotA did, and you're wearing nostalgia goggles if you give that DLC the 10/10 on "felt fully produced" factor.

Lmao what am I reading.

First off, the scourge of the beast happened way before Kos's curse existed. See: Loran. Loran fell to the scourge of the beast possible before even Byrgenwerth (the guys who fucked with the fishing hamlet and caused the curse of Kos) as an institution existed.

While you got the whole "the more you resist the worse a beast you become" and that the vials cause the scourge right, it isnot because of vermin.

The old blood (the blood in the vials) is Great One blood found in the Chalices. People turn into beasts because, "when Great Ones descend the line between man and beast blurs." The great ones proximity to the old blood inside people must cause a raction in the body that makes humans turn into beasts. My theory is that the body dumba itself down to a beast-like state so that you don't die from frenzy (which is insanity cause by too much knowledge).

Is it worth it to go back and do the Prepare to Die content/all the king shit in 2?

souls are the leftover essence of seath's scales of immortality. he went mad trying to return them to their physical form and settled for immortalizing his own soul instead.
