Threadly reminder.

Is it worthwhile to upgrade my sword with extra prong damage or should I save my materials for the blade-staff?

Also the undead innkeeper told me a rumor about unscrupulous woodland bandits, is it safe to pay a visit to those forest dudes at a low level?

Very good! Very good indeed

>>170344847
>Prong
>blade-staff
>innkeeper
I'm sorry, what?

>>170344847
I have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Which game are you playing? Maybe try using the actual in-game names so we know what you're referring to?

>>170344847
Have you been through the Catacombs yet? If not, you're going to need the prong damage. And no, that bounty is bait. Contact the castle directly for quests. Don't kill the innkeep though, he can give you a good item later.

>>170345026
It was already a forgone conclusion, but I'm so happy to have the dragon boss confirmed.

>>170344847
I'd go for the blade-staff and put holy damage on your sword instead. It makes the fight against Leocadius a cakewalk.

I'd just kill the innkeep right now desu, the Arming Sword you get from him is god-tier in endgame areas.

Let me show you how wrong you are and how much I wish they'd remove this shit

I would actually like the separation of equip load and stamina if armor was actually a pretty big deal in the defenses it offered you.

>>170345161
I mean, don't people piss off Ironwind at some point anyway? It's the only way to get the good ending to Murdoc's questline.

>>170345229
The lantern isn't really that good IMO. I mean sure, it gets AOE blinding, but that's only really good in PVP. In PVE just about everything is resistant to blinding, so the chance percentage of it being effective is almost fuckall unless you have gear that syncs with it.

>>170345348
Strength should determine weapon equip load
Endurance should determine armor equip load

fun fact: in das1, a weapon's weight was based on its strength requirements except for bows.

If you bothered to follow the reply chain you'd see I said that I believe Manus was the furtive Pygmy until Miyazaki retconned this to there being multiple furtive pygmies in TRC.

I'm arguing for the original theory without the evidence from TRC as we were talking about why people didn't believe the original theory.

>When and where has the player character ever been able to fully imitate anything a boss can do?

I'm not talking about the player character, I'm talking about characters in general. If manus was a literally who and anyone can distort dark as you claim then there should be evidence of another character in the series who would be able to pull off similar feat such as birthing the abyss. Yet no-one has come close idicating Manus was special.

Also on the use of Primeval, look at what Chester says:

>upturned the grave of primeval man

Singular. He doesn't say the grave of A PRIMEVAL MAN, he says THE. He's being very specific. But no literally who amirite?

>Some random fucking humans created the Profaned Flame, are you going to call them the first pygmy, too?

Funnily enough you're proving my point.

See Eleonoras Axe description

>The Profaned Flame was triggered by the curse of these women, relatives of a certain oracle, but despite their culpability, they went on living, without any cares.

These women were related by blood to an oracle. The only oracle we know of is Alsanna who is a child of dark and fragment of who? Manus. A flame that never dies and is abyssal being triggered by a fragment of the holder of the original dark souls checks out to me.

But no, a fragment of a literally who human who was around since the dawn of the age of fire had even more literally who relatives who randomly triggered the curse of an abyssal never dying flame.

Ideally, guardbreaking should be easy but low reward.
High-reward for guardbreaking means that guardbreaking itself must be harder, which creates this paradigm where a turtle is invincible until they're cracked, but so uncrackable that they have to be retarded to even come close, but the retard that lets themselves get broken basically loses instantly.

It'd be a healthier system if guardbreaking was easy, but didn't get you much damage. That way turtles are under constant threat, and the fact that they're turtling is just something you play around to still effectively damage your opponent rather than an absolute defense that you can only beat by waiting until they drop it.

>>170345565
>the relatives of the offspring of a primeval human had enough power to do what a primeval human did
Proving who's point, now?

Chester doesn't say "the primeval man" he says "upturned the grave of primeval man". Nothing singular about it, simply a declaration of age. It's not my fault you don't understand how adjectives work.

>>170344728
I'd assume it'd have to be more significant that "deals Dark damage" for it to be worth that much special treatment, but any answer is pretty much going to be Vaati-tier grasping at straws.

Guard break ripostes are pretty shit. You already got free counter hits off of guarding in the first game. As it is now, it's actually SAFER to eat any serious attack to the face, than it is to block it, and that's just nonsense.

So what important bits we can glean from this

>The power of the city's knights were sealed by the Gods but it's come undone (possible the entire Ringed City was made to seal its inhabitants away)

>firekeeper-like outfit is a knight's uniform from Gwyn's age (hint at origin of DaS3 keepers?)
I'm dying to know if this "Mad King" character will be a throwaway DaS2 reference just attached to what is obviously a remade Bone Staff or if it's a hint at one of the DLC's bosses and the guy in in charge of the Ringed City.

>>170345976

Are you seriously telling me that you would take the phrase
>upturned the grave of primeval man
And think oh yeah that's just a generic old human? You wouldn't think there's someone in particular, someone important being referenced?

>Proving who's point, now?

If manus wasn't the furtive pygmy and just an old human all these things, the shards of manus, his offspring triggering the profaned flame, the fucking abyss being born just from HIS humanity would not be special to him. Other (old) humans would be able to pull of similar feats.

Guess what? The closest we get is hollows can erupt into pus of man. That's it. There is a clear distinction that is most easily explained by assuming Manus was the furtive pygmy and had the biggest portion of the dark soul. He drops 10 humanities ffs, the games way of saying he's got a huge dark soul.

>>170346383
So what?

The whole point I'm making is that the closest to Manus' power and dark/abyss properties we see is from pus of man who don't compare AT ALL to what he did. He was clearly special, he was extremely old and had a very large portion of the dark soul.

We need 1 humanity to become human in DS1, he drops 10. The game is clearly telling us he has a lot of humanity and humanity is a fragment of the dark soul.

>The power of the city's knights were sealed by the Gods

>>170346523
I like how you're pushing so hard for this, but then you went and forgot about shit like Aldrich. Or, you know, the fact that the ONLY thing Manus does is make the Abyss when there is so much else related to the dark that he never does anything else with.

>>170346495
I'm mad.

>>170346663

>>170346336
>Other (old) humans would be able to pull of similar feats
Well, yeah. I'd assume that's the case. Unless you're going to point out some other old human who doesn't do any of that?

>>170346631
And what abyssal/dark properties does Aldrich have? He ate a lot of men and their humanity sunk and he turned into a blob.

That's it.

>>170346731
Where are you even going with this now? Aldrich ate a fuckton of humanity, turned into a pile of humanity, and now he wants to start an age of deep. Manus had a fuckton of humanity and created the abyss. A bunch of rando humans were relatives of whatever unnamed oracle and set the night on fire.

That's three examples of at least three different individuals doing weird shit with the dark. Fuck off with your retarded headcanon already.

He turned into a pile of humanity. That's not particularly impressive. When we fight him he uses Gwyndolins magic. He's not harnessing humanity or the dark, he's just getting fat.

Meanwhile Manus has dark emanate from him, enough to corrupt land and legends alike. He fights directly with it.

And not random humans, relatives of alsanna, who's a piece of manus after his souls split. They weren't everyday humans, they were direct descendent of manus which is why they triggered the profaned flame.

Anything to do with the dark is traced back to manus. He's not a literally who. Aldrich isn't doing anything with the dark he's just getting fat, that's pathetic compared with Manus' ability to harness the dark.

No-one can point out another literally who human that isn't manus or directly related to him that have as much power over the dark as he does. He has to be special.

Aldrich created a dark miracle. As in, he actually created a miracle. The fact that he insists on using his lunch as a weapon doesn't detract from his abilities, just his intelligence. It also doesn't change the fact that he's doing exactly what I said, which is trying to start an age of deep. Try actually addressing my points this time.

You're assuming Alsanna is the unnamed oracle, even though that was never stated. This is exactly the same reasoning that lead to people believing Solaire was the firstborn and to you insisting Manus is "the" furtive pygmy. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying there's zero concrete evidence to support it but plenty of secondary evidence to call it into question, same as with Solaire.

Anything to do with the Abyss is traced back to Manus, not anything to do with the dark. The Abyss is hella dangerous and a lot of scary shit comes out of it, but it is not the entirety of dark. Dark existed before the Abyss, and an age of dark will come about whether or not the Abyss was created or even if it gets destroyed. Your reasoning is exactly like saying the Witch of Izalith created Chaos, therefore she must be the one who created Fire and an age of Chaos is also an age of fire. You're assuming a whole lot of crazy shit from a very, very limited set of data.

We've got dark, deep, profaned, and abyss. That's at least four different types of dark, only one of which is directly related to Manus.

Rapier stance R1 has a tiny bit of hyperarmor and even iframes on startup, but it is hard as hell to pull off.

Have a few questions/issues,

1. How do you build for Onyx Greatsword? Just base Str/Dex requirements for the weapon and 40/40 INT/FTH?

2. How do you guys think one would build for the Demon Scar considering it appears it may be Dexterity? Dex, Int AND Faith? How to balance this? Will save you having to use the casting speed ring though, right?

3. What's mostly likely the best starting class in anticipation of Ringed City DLC if you're mostly interested in any new Pyros and Dark spells? Is it Pyromancer? Better than just Assassin or Sorcerer to start?

Earlygame weapon choice is fairly redundant outside of preference, considering you most likely won't upgrade it to max.

By putting points into its C/C scaling and ignoring the D/D scaling, obviously.

I'm not going to assume it has good dexterity scaling, for the same reason I don't raise strength to 40 when using the Heysel Pick. It's a catalyst weapon, I'm gonna use it on my pyromancer and the physical scaling can suck my dick for all I care.

>Bloodborne harder than DaS3
This meme needs to stop. Champ Gundyr has fucked me way more times, than any fucking boss in BB. There was no fucking boss in the BB dlc that killed me more than 1 time on a level 75 char.

Why do Bloodbabies keep saying its the best and hardest of them all, when its not? DaS3 is objectively harder and the better game.

Not that BB is a bad one, but its not hard in the same way at all.

>>170355436
It'll almost certainly be curse-based and there'll probably be gear in the DLC that helps you deal with curses.

I'm half-expecting the dragon to be more of a gimmick fight since they can't really take the basic combat paradigm of dragon fights any farther than they have with Sinh and Kalameet and the DLCs haven't included a true gimmick boss yet despite the main game having so many of them.

>>170355595
He's probably going to be a secret boss you need to ground first before fighting like it was with Kalameet.

The thing that looks interesting about his design is some weird cosmic aura like the one you can see in Isz dungeons in BB.

>>170355579

>>One of the Old Knights, called a “Knight of the Ring” (Ringed Knight?). It seems it has regained its form even though its fire was sealed by the Gods

hol' up

so you're telling me these knights are first of all not related to dragons, but second of all that these guys are such unbelievable badasses that they manage to hunt and decapicate dragons to use their heads as portable flamethrowers? Using FIRE?!

no wonder the gods tried to seal them away, humans are the strongest beings in the soulsverse!

I thought Kalemeet was an abyss dragon

>>170355595
Curse was Seath's thing, though

>>170355579
BB has harder starting bosses(only because of their HP), but all the mobs in the early-mid game are easy as fuck(except for some of the NPC encounters).

>>170355579
are there people who honestly say that?

I mean Friede > Maria difficulty wise for starters.

>>170355579
Anyone saying 'X' is harder than 'Y' with these games is generally just remarking on their overall impressions of things in hindsight.

There's no way to really quantify what is hard or not because everyone will have a different experience and difficulty in general is practically a seismograph in terms of consistency even within a single game.

>>170355805
Their true power is FIRE.
They are most likely related to dragons by nature. Gods forced them to seal their fire and Dark Soul settled into them instead.

>>170355679
It'll be interesting to see how they set that up.
Kalameet of course had the snipe by Gough to cripple his wing and Sinh was already crippled by Yorgh's spear literally impaling it. Obviously an uninjured dragon can't be properly fought because it can fly freely, but the dragon in that screencap is totally unharmed so there must be some hoop you go through to unlock the fight.

Since they can't exactly re-use the 'cripple its wing' gimmick, I really wonder what the trick they'll pull this time. Maybe we bait it down into the abyss where it can't fly freely or something.

>>170356016
>Since they can't exactly re-use the 'cripple its wing' gimmick
Sure didn't stop them from re-using the 'magic storm sword' gimmick.

>>170356001
but wait a minute

we burn humanity at bonfires, not souls

what if the power of them has always been the dark soul? And the true way to wield it is to use it as a fuel for the most badass of fire possible?

>>170356125
The two magic storm swords work completely differently and are applied in different contexts, though

>>170355805
>humans were related to serpents and dragons
>gods are all fuck that shit and sealed it away
>humans broke the seal and are turning into dragons again

Makes sense to me senpai

>>170356016
I mean you could shoot down Kalameet in 1 just fine yourself, Gough even has unique dialogue if you do it without his help.

considering it's the abyss dragon we'll probably run into a friendly millwood knight who's willing to help shoot it down if you're too wimpy to do it yourself.

>>170356134
>the complete Dark Soul produces the ultimate Fire because it will never be consumed by it and can maintain it for eternity

>>170355720
I agree, theres a lot of enemies that can almost 1 shot you if you are not careful.
>>170355931
Indeed, I got Maria on my second try. Friede took me 10+
It was an awesome fight though, and I like how Marias mechanics inspired a lot of things in DaS3

>>170356253
How to tell someone watched e-celeb "did you know" videos without actually playing the game.

You couldn't shoot Kalameet down, you could just cheese him by killing him with arrows without triggering the bossfight.
The only way to trigger the grounded bossfight was via Gough.

>>170356134
Humanity is souls, though. Humanity is the dark soul, and is found in human soul.

Not that I'm saying the other guy is right or anything, for some reason he thinks the dark soul didn't exist before Gwyn killed all the dragons or something. Obviously it did, DaS1's intro explained as much. Pygmy found the dark soul back when all the other lords found their other souls, well before that other shit happened.

>>170355579
>Waltzed backwards through the entirety of DS3 with the exception of Pontiff, who I still beat in around 10 attempts
>Got fucked sideways by multiple areas, multiple bosses, multiple times in BB

That said, Bloodborne was my 2nd souls game and DS3 was my fourth, so just having more experience at those kind of games was likely a large factor.
And thinking about it now, you could have had a similar experience - if you played BB last out of all the games, you would know what to expect and how the game mechanically functions much better than if you'd walked in having only played DS1 at the time, like I did. I'm also assuming you've played all the other souls games before BB; but that's fairly reasonable

>>170356291
definitely and I don't really see what value BB or DaS3 get from discussing which is harder, they're both good games and I love each of their unique aesthetics

Not really. Stormruler's true power only unlocks in Yhorm's boss room, just like the DeS Storm Ruler. Yhorm himself is basically Old Hero except less blind, OH is actually really fun to fight if you don't try to stealth him. Yhorm isn't a giant manta ray, but being like the boss before it in the same area isn't all that far removed. Profaned Capital even has a heavy Luck theme going on just like Old Hero himself did, what with all the golden coins everywhere.

Tangent aside, you didn't need to manually charge Stormruler in DeS, but it still had a super slow windup which wasn't all that different.

Maybe if he didn't smash his own half-dragon kid he'd probably be more based.

Although,
>way of white was secretly a human religion about angels
>oceiros' garden is full of cathedral knights

I think you're on to something. IIRC, way of white was based in Thorolund, but clerics from Carim called them heretics. The angelic faith is called heresy in Lothric. Coincidence?

>>170356680
She's not really, though. Her attacks are paced to 3's rolling speed, she leaves openings big enough to punish even with slow ultras and her HP is reasonable for a souls game.

She'd be a bloodborne boss if she had about 8x her HP and was balanced to be stunlocked for 18 consecutive hits every punish instead of the hit&run style of gampelay that she actually has.

Her actual difficulty comes from the fact that not all of her attacks are designed to be clearly punishable so she actually creates pressure by acting without always giving the player clear and easy oppourtunities to retaliate. That's just natural evolution of design in an action game as you move into post-game difficulty.

>>170356647
demon souls lore is pretty straight forward compared to dark souls

big king bad
big king side with demons
demons eat peoples souls
this turn people into soulless husk and cover land in gray fog

you go kill bad king

then world saved
or you stomp on waifus head and side with demon, becoming the new big evil king

>>170357190
>Maybe if he didn't smash his own half-dragon kid he'd probably be more based.

I am almost 100% entirely sure that this originally wasn't intended to happen until you accidentally kill the child he's carrying, the way he holds him up before screaming in rage seems more like sorrow than just plain insanity.

>>170357197
I actually preferred BB's fuckhuge hp bars over DS3's surprise double/triple bars.

BB bosses were only hard if you never did chalice dungeons, though. Use the chalice you get immediately after bloodstarved beast and you can melt Amelia in about ten seconds with a +6 weapon and three +10% fire gems. That shit will hold you until Mensis, where you find better gems just lying around.

BB bosses were mostly dull sandbags outside of a couple great ones like Ludwig and Abhorrent Beast. They were designed to be mashed on and were easy to mash on, It was a simple paradigm that didn't involve terribly much gameplay from the player.

That's part of why the comparison between Friede and Maria kinda sucks. Maria's whole design is getting bullied by R1 mashing and parries because she's trivial to stagger and lets you stunlock her instead of jumping away to reset the fight. Friede's paradigm is almost entirely hit and run because she rarely gives you more than 1-2 hits on a punish and has plenty of unparryable attacks to stay unpredictable

>>170357012
I still don't understand exactly what that ring does. Male and female animations aren't that different, especially in combat.

I think Bloodborne's problem was that they were so busy programming the bosses to catch people who rolled backwards or away that they forgot people could just dodge behind the boss instead. Every single boss in BB has combos that will chase you across the room and would normally be super fun to fight because you have to time every step perfectly, except you can also just avoid the entire thing by dodging diagonally behind them and mash R1 about five or six times.

Maria was a victim of Miyazaki trying since DaS1 to design a boss that you can fight with parries, even though the entire concept of parries is as a way to punish slow and predictable attack animations. Meaning, the boss has to have slow and predictable attacks in order to be parried, but then it also needs to be a massive HP sponge so you can't just one-shot it with a riposte like you could with Gwyn.

He's crestfallen, which means he's broken, beaten, stuck, and out of hope. At some point he couldn't get past something and gave up.

Some people speculate he made it to the first bell before realizing there was another and might have got wrecked by the Capra demon or something. When he finally snaps due to finding Frampt's presence annoying there's speculation he was going to New-Londo to find Kaathe and then went completely hollow after seeing what lied ahead.

how the fuck do I beat dancer? She literally comes out with 1 frame startup horseshit and does so much fucking damage it's insane. I have 20 vig and she can 1shot me.

Why do I see messages saying "need humanity" around?

The famitsu preview shows the Demon Claw curved sword thing, which is a boss weapon.

5-bucks says the staff is also a boss weapon and the "Mad King" referred to is the boss. The little blurb next to it implies the staff is literally made of the physical remains of a dead king.

The only one I consider "hard" is a 1v1 against Champion Gundyr with a slow weapon, as he will not be staggered and will fuck up your shit if you swing when you don't have to.

Define hard, I would consider Friede hard but then again every souls boss in every single soulsborne game has been killed in rediculous challenge runs like 'SL1 no rolling or blocking' and bullshit like that.

>>170364258
No problem. Those rings, souls, embers and +10 weapons should give you a great start.

Truly Humanity is capable of disgusting, depraved things if pushed far enough. But it is not entirely its fault.

I am a little confused about the boss design. Why would you first kill the demon from below?

Crimson Bat = Half health
Demon from below = Full health.

So I have the season pass on steam but it still tells me I don't own ringed city yet and its two weeks away. Should I be concerned? Pretty sure it told me I owned ashes the second it was actually put on the steam store.

Wanna know the best part? That isn't even the staff we knew about. The DLC has two different hexing staves for whatever fucking reason.

Is there any better place to 120 a char than the 3 fat golds in DS3?
I can't stop coming up with build ideas I think would be fun but would require playing through the game again.
