>thorn armor
>you can't get thorn armor until AFTER wolnir
fuck I am so triggered
This thread is now blessed by Gravelord Nito and the Pardoners of Velka.

If you finish off Crimson Bat, then Demon from Below summons those floating orbs that shoot fireballs at you, while also throwing his own fireballs at you. All of which leave lava pools for you to step in as he also uses melee attacks. That's a lot of shit to dodge.
If you turn your attention to Demon from Below and kill him from full health, then Crimson Bat has the mouth beam attack, and he has to stop whatever he's doing to use it. Only one thing to keep your attention on.
Basically, the equation comes down to, when do you want to experience your pain? In the first phase where you have to deal 150% of the boss's health as damage, or the second phase where you have almost no opportunities to attack the boss?
Has anyone crunched the numbers on how much VIG it takes to survive the majula pit drop at 0 equipment load? Maybe with and without fall damage reducing stuff?
>>170403215
>Thorn armor is obtained in Cathedral of the Deep

>>170402997
Most linear RPGs have a story, actual dialogue, etc.
It doesn't work when you are making a game with a barebones story, barely no dialogue and a lot of options out of which you will end up using a few of them.
There are a lot of game that suffer from this.
>"Hey guys check out you have so many options and stuff to do but you will do it always over the same levels and it will prove how useless it is to ever walk off the meta way."
Seriously, most weapons in DS3 are utter shit I tell you what.
And even WHOLE FUCKING CLASSES of weapons are virtually unplayable like whips and daggers while others like straight swords dominate even while using the shitties out of the archetype.
If you want to make a linear RPG then add actual story and character interaction but don't sell us a "le every run is different" game with a few NPCs that add nothing to the story and call it a day.
a primordial serpent visited the heavenly daughter Gertrude as an angel and taught her divine pillars of light, which became the foundation of the angelic religion within the kingdom. this religion led to the coup within the kingdom that culminated in the prince refusing to link the flame.
divine "angel" motif can be found from:
1. statue of primordial serpent
2. Gertrude cage
3. lothric boss room
4. winged knights (including painting)
5. oceiros' wings
6. divine pillar of light effect
7. rosaria man-grub divine magic & effect
8. ringed city angel magic & effect
there is a very secure link between the "divine" religion and the way of white, thanks to rosaria's fingers.
the founder of rosaria's fingers was klimt, an archdeacon of the cathedral of the deep. Klimt found rosaria, and chose to worship her as a goddess, relinquishing his saint's bident and making his sacred seal the symbol of his covenant. rosaria's maggots, as a result, wield staves bearing his sacred seal and cast divine magic depicting the saint's bident.
now why is an archdeacon of the cathedral of the deep using a saint's bident, and teaching divine magic? It goes back to the fact that Aldrich was originally a cleric, of the way of white. He developed a penchant for devouring people, which led to a religious following that splintered into its own cult, culminating with the cathedral of the deep. the cathedral is a perversion of the way of white, using their religious artifacts and caste (Klimt), and embracing sorcery over miracles (Archdeacon McDonnell). this all led to the divine bident magic that klimt gave to the man-grubs.
from here all we have to do is compare the angelic motif of the way of white man-grub magic, the serpent divine miracle, and the angels of the dreg heap. they are the same.
the way of white is, in some way, tied to the primordial serpents, and the angelic, curse-inflicting beings protecting the pilgrim abominations.allfather lloyd is a primordial serpent

Fuck, can't these people just do this shit on High Wall or something? I need my Sunbro medals.
So, why have the CE table links all died, and when will they be replaced? Does anyone have working links?
>>170403346
Around 1250 HP is enough. The amount of VIG varies as HP can be increased by other means too.
>>170403827
>I need my Sunbro medals.

>>170403827

Just chuck your white summon outside whatever boss you beat last
>>170403973
I don't like co-oping with people outside of /dsg/, and I've only gotten around 5-6 of my medals from doing so.
>>170404085

>>170404085
Lieterally just put your summon outside a boss. You'll get the occasional sperg who'll die immediately, but it's way easier and more consistent than invading
>>170403838
The CE forums nuked their entire table section without warning.
New tables likely never.
>>170403827
They do do it on High Wall. I'm trying to do low invasions on High Wall and it fucking sucks.

HUEHUEHUE
Why is the bastard sword so good?
>>170405832
>>170405863
Some faggot brony admin got buttmad and afraid of the NSA thinking that tampering with games is illegal so he nuked the section and demanded that all tables be hosted offsite on places like github.
So new DaS3 tables may still exist, but good luck ever finding them, or using them even if you do if you don't know how to compile raw text into a useable table.
>>170405870
i dont get it
explain please
>>170406010
I got him back though
>>170406683
If the host kills an invader just as you spawn in as a blue phantom, you won't get a concord and will be immediately sent back to your world. It's super gay and a waste of time. It's even more fucked when you realize that DS1 actually gave you covenant rewards if you happened to spawn in just as an invader/host died.
COME ONE COME ALL
In just three weeks the first /dsg/ thread tourney is starting. On March 25th, 2pm PST a PC tournament will be held prior the release of The Ringed City DLC.

>>170407972

>over 100 less ar from not getting any dex
That's dumb. You're dumb.
>>170407972
Claymore is C/C and therefore Quality, not strength.
It won't matter when it's buffed though.
>>170407972
Honestly was hoping for something else , but thanks for the build , purge heretics / 10
>>170408114
As >>170408137 said the claymore has a really good base damage and c str scalling, the bonus damage resulting from adding dex to the mix will be lower than the damage you'll have with sunlight blade.
The strenght of the claymore is its speed aswell as overall great moveset.
If you want raw damage on a quality weapon just go for the murakumo.
Fighting every boss with 3+ phantom summons, 20 estus flask +7 and 99 humanities is the only way to play the game
>>170408534

>>170408257
https://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls the faith strength build , open to criticism
>>170408778
flame spear and pole are nearly unbeatable weapons in the right hands due to their extreme speed, range and ability to poke out every weapon in the game besides corvian scythe, which ouranges them a bit
I'm not even in that shitty discord but i can guarantee that if pole and flame spear weren't banned, it would be pole, flame spear, and yhorms only
>>170408940
Very true , but that makes sunlight blade useless

>>170403539
Well it kind of makes sense since a longsword would normally beat a dagger or a whip in irl combat.
And generally speaking I don't think a dagger or a whip will do against the abominations you fight in these games.
Sure you can attempt it and it would be very difficult but using a more standard weapon like a longsword would logically serve you better.
>>170408686
well, now that there effectively ISN'T a cheat table forum thanks to his "incredible foresight", they don't need him anymore, right?

>>170411075
Ganking is fun af
>>170411127
it's a video game, there's usually some sort of competitive balance to make weapons which would normally not be effective in real life somewhat effective because of their different mechanics and playstyle
>>170409605
Use red signs!
>>170411178
so what happens when you get outskilled by a single phantom two against one which will most likely happen? oh right youre a PCuck so theres cheaters too, whats the point?
So I just beat dragonslayer armor or whatever he's called at sl58 with a +8 weapon I think and I can't find summon signs anywhere. Am I lagging behind or what?
>>170411235
true, but some weapons are logically better than others
this isn't a street fighter type game where it would be logical to assume all the characters are balanced
in Souls games some weapons were always there just as flavor or to do a challenge run.
>>170411491

That doesn't matter jack shit until you get your Agape Ring, and that requires going through at least 3 bosses.
>>170413218
I didn't put on agape all run though, can't afford the ring space
2 ring slots for robflynn, 1 for second dragon ring, 1 for ring of the embedded
My SM is still pretty low though so I don't think I gotta worry about it anymore, only like 1.2M right now or something, just killed giant lord

>>170413405

Brah, that puts you within the range of SL120s. Unless you're playing offline, you are not going to have a very good run.

i've got the plans for a crow talon/quills build. i can aim for SL50+5 is i go for 20/20 on my vig/end, or i can bump it up to SL60+6 with just a few more points
would it be better to lowball it and enjoy fighting incomplete builds or risk going higher for people who actually know how to specialize before they hit 80 or whatever?
Bit late to the party, but in DkS2, is there any point in staying around SL120-125? I know it doesn't matter in matchmaking, but pumping up to 150 and beyond just doesn't feel right. But I also don't want to eventually become super underlevelled for late soul memory tier coop and pvp. Is there SL "meta" in this game between 100-150?
>>170415702
It's just 10 levels. I catch 60s in Anor Londo and the Fungeon all the time.

I legitimately like a lot of Demon's Souls music, mainly because a lot of it sounds like music you would hear in 80s fantasy movies.
>>170414258
Absolutely smash. He shouldn't be online during a no death run. The only reason he'd want to be online (except if he wanted the extra challenge of invaders, in which case I'll take his offer) is to summon phantoms and summoning phantoms in these kinds of challenge runs absolutely negates the whole run, before I even touch him with my blade.
Did something happen to Peeve's PVP video library? I was looking for a DS1 video where he invades the darkroot garden area and teams up with a hacker to kill two other invincible hackers.
Anyone know where that is? Also, Pure Black Episode 11 when?
So, I'm nearly done with NG+0 on the character that I intend to get all achievements with (already grinded out all the necessary covenants for rings and spells), and am currently at SL60. Do you guys think I should:
1. Just finish NG and continue on to NG+2 and onward, so that I can have all the +2 rings and +0 versions of all weapons, which I can then turn into a mule for making future characters and/or for the benefit of scumming shit to other /dsg/ players, or
2. Wait until DLC2 drops and complete that with this character so that I can get multiple copies of all the DLC2 weapons/armors
If I take option 1, then I can potentially go into DLC2 on a new character with desired fashion and gear, as well as optimized rings, but I'll only have single copies of the DLC2 weapons to play with. If I take option 2, then I'll be super delayed on future builds but also have multiples of the DLC2 weapons to pass around.
>>170417242
Take option 1 if you're on PC. 2 if you're on console.

>>170419870
about 5/10 on the hype scale
>>170419872
Doesn't Nioh have it's own general?
Either way, it isn't really a "Souls"-style game. It's more Ninja Gaiden than anything.
>>170419872
This general is about the games made by the developers of Souls games. There's no point in discussing Souls-like games that try to mimic From's work and fail because they miss the point.
If we wanted to discuss those games here, we would discuss them here. But we don't, so take yourself over to >>170397396 >>170285303

>>170420342
Get a blessing from the priest in the shrine. Won't give a lot but enough to deal with pesky undead. It also helps to roleplay, as you need God's guidance instead of having the power come from with within, which is a satanic concept
>>170419870
I'm hopeful that From recognizes it's a grand occasion that deserves a send-off of some importance, until Bandai Namco inevitably forces a new game to be made.
>>170420675
I hope it's as good a send off as Snuffing the flame in the base game was.
Fucking quality ending for the series there
>>170420779
>no chance for an ending where you live inside the new painted world with your remaining friends
>>170420779
My primary concern is that it ties back into the main mysteries of the setting in some way.
If it ends with something along the lines of "Good job, Champion of Ash! You have defeated the Abyss Dragon who was trying to eat the Ringed City and thus saved Princess Gwyneth, Fourth Daughter of Gwyn! And that's all the story you're getting!" I'd be so very disappointed
I'm a longtime Souls veteran and PVPer. I've developed strategies for enemies with every type of weapon and loadout.
Except (non-ultra) greatswords. I have never figured out how to consistently beat a greatsword weilder, especially in DS3.
If I try to use a fast sword and dodge their attacks, they simply attack too fast to leave any opening, and have such a wide arc and reach that I can't just out-range them and run in, or try to hide in a hitbox blindspot.
If I try to use a spear and leo ring and trade, they win. They deal more damage and break poise better.
My network is ass, so parries are unreliable.
The only solution is to use a greatswors myself, but then, its still a struggle since my assy network means they take damage like 2 seconds after the attack connects. So a traded attack goes in their favor even if my shot connected first (a problem with any enemy, but greatswords in particular because getting the stagger is so crucial).
How do I deal with this weapon type?
>>170420250
1v1 me in Kings Field, you massive scrub.
>>170420101
just like Bloodborne has it's own general
doesn't stop you guys though
>>170420952
I have the same problems.
I find parries tend to work the "best" but similarly I have shit internet so it's unreliable.
Curved GS running attacks tend to do fairly well, but more often than not I just find myself having to be a super passive shitter and I hate having to fight like that.
GS's got overbuffed by far, they were perfectly fine for the most part before the patch, now they'll shit all over anything with a shorter range without even trying. Swing speed buff was completely unnecessary.
>>170420952
Longer spear. Spacing
>>170420946
Don't you mean princess Filianor?
>>170421389
Maybe. The fact that her name doesn't begin with Gwyn- is another thing that worries me greatly, if she does turn out to be the daughter.
>>170421449
What the fuck are they thinking
>>170421042
if you wanna talk about kings field go ahead, but pretty much all topics on that front have been talked to death, so unless you have some more reused concepts from the kings field series don't expect any kind of traction.
>>170421449
>Filianor
>anor
>anor londo
Gwyn named his city after her so I think she's pretty important regardless of any bloodties
>>170421779
>Filianor
>Anor Londo
>New Londo
If we assume that "Londo" is supposed to mean "city" in whatever language the gods speak in, which would make New Londo mean the "New City", then Anor Londo would mean something along the lines of (Fili)anor City. Meaning Gwyn would have named the seat of his power after his daughter.
Entire baseless fanwanking, but still an interesting bit to speculate on.
>>170421685
Pretty sure what I said was a joke. You can tell by how it's impossible to 1v1 someone on King's Field.
>>170421985
what if she's hiswife
>>170403643
Interesting. So why does it deal physical damage instead of dark like hexes do? Isn't it implied as early as DS1 that humanity is weighty and deals dadk damage? So why do the divine miracles do physical?
I can see sorcery being magical since it focuses on the white soul part of the dark soul but are we to believe different ways of harnessing the dark bit can change the damage type?
>>170422126
>he didn't unlock the secret online option for his playstation 1 in kings field
wew lad
Anyone on PS4 want to dupe soul of a great champion up to 699?
The new screenshot batch is out today, right ?
>>170421985
Anor means sun in a language spoken in the lord of the rings universe.
So Sun City.
Also whilst fili is usually used with referenece to threads and string, Phili can be used to refer to the love of or affinity to do with something. The japanese is ambigous enough that we only know the name has a eff and ili sound in there so we can safely use phil-. Philanthropy being love of humanity for one example of this prefix.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phil-#Prefix_phil-
So putting 2 and 2 together we get (The) Love of (The) Sun.
That's pretty sweet <3
If I go for a int dex build with crystal buffing its better to reach 40 dex and 60 int for damage, right?
What catalyst should I use?
Lastly, if i have only 18 points on Str, which is the best bow?
I beat the Tower Knight and just killed the Armored Spider. I am probably going to take on 2-2 and 2-3 tomorrow as I want the Dragon Bone Smasher.
How big is Guard Break Reduction? I was stupid and got my Kite Shield to +3 instead of taking my Claymore from +3 to +4, so I want to know if the reduced stamina loss at least somewhat justified that mistake.
>>170422707
>updrading anything but your weapon ever
ya fucked up
>>170422656
Yes, 3pm CET.
>>170422746
I know, I know. I just didn't have all the materials I needed so I upgraded my shield on a whim. Terrible choice, but hopefully I can get some Shards of Hardstone to get my Claymore upgraded further.
I also have a +5 Short Spear, so that's helpful.
>>170422679
Honestly that sounds pretty plausible. Shame we have to wait some weeks for a somewhat concrete answer.
I want off this hype train, it's killing me in anticipation of the dlc and my new pc
If you delete the patches and attempt to play on 1.00 with your 1.10 save file, what will happen? Really want to get some easy souls but don't want to start over as I already have every magic and ring.
>>170422679
Philia is a is always written with a ph in non-greek languages. Doesn't fili mean son in in Latin?
>don't speak to me or my wife's son's sun ever again
>>170422978
IIRC filia means daughter, so her name could be filia + anor.
>>170423021
That's even better, I was worried about the gender being wrong. Literally "sun's daughter" then
What's wrong with Orbeck's face? Why is it green?
>>170422978
Filianor is just some translation that some anon here made, based on the Famitsu preview. We'll find out her official English name today, when Bamco releases the official transaltions of the pictures.
>>170423179
Because DS3 makes him sick.
>An eternally sleeping girl under the sun’s softness. She is covered in moss and holding a broken shell. Her name is Filianor, and it is said her sleep is for the benefit of others.
Calling it now, the benefit is that when she awakes she'll go crazy mad like manus and start destroying everything so she sleeps peacefully. Like Sinh in a way.
>>170423232
Is that what happens when you get too many conniptions?
>>170423312
I wonder what will explode out of her if I stab her with my spear?
>>170423179
Orbeck is one of the few sorcerers I like. He became an assasin to get into the dragon school but then regrets his decision and warns us not to follow the same path.
Also why does Yuria see him as a threat?
>>170423179
Combination of typical sickly geekboy, undead curse and wonky lighting
>>170423230
It seems pretty accurate, though, there's not much room for changes like voldo/borudo/vordt. Unless if you're talking specifically about f over ph. Both combos make perfect sense desu
>>170423337
No, you turn into an emaciated deer/antelope
>>170423356
I don't know about her but I know what will explode out of my spear

>you can kill horace from anri's second location in the catacombs of carthus
is this known information? does everyone have low draw distance?
>>170424510
because quality builds are the domain of SL120 duelshitters
stay at SL80 and below for superior invading and coop options, where quality isn't king since you sacrifice too much health and stamina.
it's also the SL where pyro doesn't just dominate casting, since having 60 int is easier than having 40/40
sure all casters have to sacrifice end and vig, but since a lot of people dont level 40 vig + have life ring and rofap, your spells will 1shot people more often.
>>170424510
Also apparently Black blade is the best katana damage wise. The range is not as good though, how is stamina consumption?
Chaos blade sucks if you want to buff. So my dex int build is better if I use black blade instead of washing pole like I was using.
Fuck, this pisses me off so much.
So now that I beat ds2 and ds3 (and found out how to correctly mod the terrible port), what are the strongest/most powerful ds1 builds?

you can always just level dex to 18 and try it out but that is definitely a quality weapon (althought DeS and DaS3 are the best games for quality builds)
>>170425216
the only thing is i have 8 faith and 10 intelligence so its a bit aways
>tfw going to invade the fuck out of central irithyll today
You cucks had it coming.
So how dangerous it is to use mule on PC?
>>170425213
That's a good thing, I wish more weapons had that sort of potential behind them.
>>170424782
The distance makes the damage on most bows fall off to the point where it would take a shitload of arrows to kill him. And not everybody can free-aim firebombs that accurately.
Really, nobody wants to bother with that shit since it's not that far to get into Smouldering Lake. And you don't gain anything from doing so, since speedrunners will kill Anri at the first encounter for her sword, while everyone else will go into Smouldering Lake for the loot (and as I recall, one of the Crystal Lizards you kill on the way to Horace has a Chunk, which you need to get a +7 weapon before Irithyll).
>>170425260
oh right it requires int/faith in DaS1, I forgot since it was just a pure physical weapon in 2 and 3
Try out the claymore, the main difference is that you'll miss the flippy extra moves

If the mule file hasn't been cheated, then it's perfectly safe so long as you keep backups of everything.
>>170425410
But I don't have a risky of getting banned or something like that? I used to use on consoles and never had a problem.
>>170425326
>tfw I tried to build towards using the Greatsword of Artorias and ended up at SL111 with only 17 Vit and 25 End
That shit wasn't worth it in the end.
>>170425458
Again. As long as there was nothing being cheated on the mule file, you should be perfectly fine. And if you do get a softban warning, that's what the backups are for.
They just announced the DaS3 Design Works artbook. It wil be out in Japan first, as usual (March 31, but it might be a placeholder date).

Reminder that the "Age of Dark" is a monstrous thing of souls becoming detached from form and humans becoming hollow and thus inhuman again, orchestrated by Kaathe and the other Primordial Serpents through the torturing of Manus the Pygmy to create the undead curse, kickstart the complete end of all life, and necessitate the linking of the fire to begin with. If you subscribe to the Age of Dark philosophy, you are objectively incorrect unless your reasoning is to become a nice little mindless toadie for your Serpent masters.

Have you seen how these stories go, bucko? Your time is coming to an end, and you will feel steel before the day is done. Don't forget, gods are myth. Human triumph is an inevitability. A human slew the father of the Dark, put the old Gods out of their misery, drew in the Lord Souls and kindled the flame over the Lord of Cinder's broken body. And it was a human who put an end to the god-eater, overcame the aberrations of humanity that the Dark created, killed the last living god and put an end to the line of Gwyn, and took the burden of the soul of the Fire itself to foil the Serpents. And it will be a human who fucks up that assbutt and liberates the Ringed City.
I miss DaS2 lances so fucking much

>>170427358
i dont
dual wielding those things was fucking cancer

>700+ damage L1s with the lightest lances
remember when dual wielding was good
>>170427290
nigga humans ARE the dark
the knights of the ringed city are peak users of the dark sign
they are not slavering monsters or insane
they are fucking knights using flame swords (the very thing creatures of the abyss fear) and decapitated dragon heads.

Ok Im confused. What is the difference between human, hollow, unkindled, kindled, and undead?
I know hollows are undead who go insane but Im really not clear on the rest of this.
>>170427505
If you're trying to make a pyromancer, make a pyromancer. By that I mean 40 Att, 40/40 Int-Faith. You're not gonna have many choices for weapons but that's the cost you pay for being a caster. Any weapons you can use make "raw" so you get the most out of them. With what you originally suggested, you're trying too hard to spread your points out to have your cake and eating it too. You would have that 40/40 for the damage of pyromancies but not enough Att to warrant ever making too much use of it, you'd be too busy trying to use weapons like any other build only this time you won't have as much str/dex as you like since most of your points went into the int/faith for the pyromancies.
Guys playing dark souls here. The guy who gave me the pyromancy flame isn't in the firelink shrine anymore. I only got the glove to +3 and he disappeared. What do I do now? I've been to Egghead and he can buff my glove but only give me poison spells. I have 2 spell slots. Where do I get more spells?
>>170427679
Wait I thought the abyss is the dark starting to take over? Is the Abyss a deformation of the dark? Kind of like the deep?

>>170427940

You shouldn't have showed him the chaos pyro. Upgrade with eingy up to at least 10 and search the swamp for a new npc close to the entrance to kellogs domain

>Humans are the dark
>Because Manus's soul went crazy and started corrupting everything, causing things that bear souls to become mutated and creating hollows with the undead curse, and humans just so happen to be the ONLY SENTIENT RACE AS A SAMPLE SIZE
>this clearly means the dark is good and not at all a result of a chain reaction of bad shit happening and affecting like souls
Dark is to Humanity as Chaos is to Fire. The Dark Sign is not your fucking Stand or Persona or whatever, it is the symbol of the Dark infesting you which is INHERENTLY bad. And guess what, the Abyss Watchers wielded fire too. Doesn't mean they weren't dumbass scumbags who got fucked up by the Dark and went nuts.
The Serpents are not your friends, do not believe the lies. Causing the Abyss to manifest was not a charity to the human race.
>>170427797
Humans are us. The Undead are humans with Dark Signs that seemingly can't eat or drink, and subsist solely on Fire which feeds their soul. A Hollow is an empty being that is the original state of everyone, including Gwyn and co., before Souls were born of the Fire. Essentially, a Human is in tandem with his soul. An Undead is grasping desperately at his soul. And a Hollow is without his Soul.
>>170427863
The Abyss is synonymous with the Dark. The art of Lifedrain the 4 kings learned from the Serpent that drove New Londo into the Abyss is identical to the Dark that was born from Manus, father of the Abyss. The Primordial Serpents are kind of fucking scumbags like that, causing the end of all life because they're not real Dragons and are butthurt about the Gods ending the Age of Stone.
>>170428127
You're confusing the abyss with the dark.
>>170428105
Yeah caster-like builds don't get the luxuries of picking from a wide assortment of weapons, at least not at sl120. I mean you can use a fair amount of things imo just not everything under the sun. Unique weapons are out of the question too since there's no option to make them raw. Upside is that Carthas Flame buff adds a TON of fire damage to whatever you can wield though. It's not like using resin, it's much much higher.
>>170428268
i was hoping to also tie in a decent chaos weapon
>its called the road of sacrifice because undead were transported from the undead burg to the cathedral of the deep so aldrich could eat them alive
Spoopy. More blood for the blood god I suppose.
>>170428220
>Manus is the father of the Abyss and first bearer of the Dark Soul
>His Soul created the malevolent Dark that Hexes are based on, caused Oolacile to be consumed by the Abyss and plunged into Darkness, and created the Dark Sign
"If thou wisheth to stop the spread of the Dark, challenge Manus", or something to that effect, is all the evidence I need.
>>170428310
Out of curiosity, you are talking about DaS3 right?
>>170428417
yeah
man, dark souls 3 just feels so underwhelming for builds. either i go quality and can use everything, which means i am forced to play at 120, or i go caster and literally starve myself of almost everything except easily-dodged spells
i remember there being a much better division between builds in 2, though maybe that's just nostalgia
>>170428378
You're making up shit and using it as proof for your headcanon. Provide exact sources or fuck off
>>170428364
The fat ladies in the burg are evangelicals from the church. They are leading them to the cathedral so that they may "convert"
>>170428378
Its possible that the abyss is the first beginnings of the dark age and a taste of what everything would look like under the dark age but Manus was tortured severely and its pretty clear hes an abomination. The abyss was an accidental creation like the chaos the witches created. The inherent darkness humans have isnt the evilness the abyss has.
how did fromsoft make the Gwyndolin fight possible? The fight begins with a near-infinite hallway which you can reach the end of, and as soon as the cutscene ends, you're in the non-illusion version of the hallway with the tomb of Gwyn at the other end. I was guessing that there was a hidden loading screen during Gwyndolin's death cutscene, but even if you skip it you're still instantly teleported at the beginning of the non-illusion hallway.
Has anyone discovered how FS did this? has anyone viewed the two hallways in a mapviewer program to see if there is anything interesting about them?
>>170407797
we have around 24 or so people signed up
>>170428448
Having PvP'd a ton of a pure pyromancer and faith user, you can shred people with the "easily" dodged spells. It's all about timing. For Pyros, use certain spells to bait people to do certain things, then blast them with your harder hitting shit. Also, in the dlc, there's a bitchin' greatsword called the Onyx Blade which is essentially the best greatsword for pyro's to use. Also don't waste your time infusing weapons with "chaos". You'll get a much higher damage output simply making something Raw and using Carthas Flame on it. And to continue with what I was saying, for pure faith casters, it's a matter of trading hits with the hyper armor weapon art of talismans for slam dunking lightning onto people at point blank range.

Journey 5, so I guess I'm on NG+4, should I?
>>170428796
For sorcery I'm afraid I have no advice simply because I wasn't a fan of its playstyle.
>>170428824
You only really need a couple spells for offensive use, at least speaking for PvE. So you'll be able to spare the 1 slot. Where as close range you wanna use Black Flame with a Parting Pyromancy Flame or C.B.Vestiges/Great Chaos Fireball with regular Pyro Flame hand. I can promise you won't ever want to use anything else. As for PvP, Black Snake and Floating Chaos are great "baiting" spells and if you're using G.C. Fireball, practice throwing that without locking on, specifically closer to your character.
>>170428479
Hawkeye Gough is quoted imploring you. ""If thine wish is to succeed poor Artorias, and challenge the spread of the Dark, then thou must face Manus, Father of the Abyss. The Dark emanates from Manus himself."
Manus, thus, can be assumed to be the source of the Dark, especially given that he breaks into shards like Nashandra and Elana, who are described as shards of Dark. Everything else is common knowledge aside from the Dark Sign thing, which is mere conjecture though it has a healthy basis considering the time that Artorias of the Abyss is set, the Undead Curse has not begun, Gwyn is still in power and his knights are still at their peak. It isn't until after the Manus saga that the Demons are created by the Witch trying to recreate the First Flame and other stupid things to preserve the Flame, BECAUSE Manus's dark is hurting it. It seems to be in the Serpents' interests based on the Greed Rings claiming that Serpents are merely imperfect dragons, and it was the gods themselves who killed the Dragons.
>>170428610
"The Dark and the Abyss are essentially synonyms, it's just that you can go the Abyss while the Dark seems to be a more subtle, though no less evil, version. It is an abomination of what Humanity is, caused by Manus's soul corrupting shit like the Lord Soul the Chaos Witch who became the Bed of Chaos corrupted her daughters. In this universe, when Souls go awry they just mutate other like Souls, it seems. The Pus of Man seems to be the equivalent of what a severely corrupted shard of the Dark Soul is, like a demon is a severely corrupted shard of the Lord Soul.
Keep in mind that Fire is the soul. While Miracles reach out to the power of the Gods and use Faith, and Sorcery uses the Soul like an energy source and uses Intelligence, Pyromancy is described as self-actualization, as the First Flame is itself necessary for sentience at all. The Age of Dark might as well be called the age of soulless zombie assholes.

also the idea of using chameleon to try and one-shot someone from stealth only really works at really low soul-levels
>>170429041
Why do the gods fear the humans then if they too share the soul? Is the dark soul not a part of the dark?
>>170429183
Your image is close but not quite there. Here, use this one from now on my friend. Long may the sun shine!
So I'm taking my Quality character into TRC first, but should I go in as a normal Knight or as a Darkwraith?

>Fails to stop the Dark
>Kills the Lord of the Dead and necromancy actually becomes more powerful
>Kills Gwyn and links the Fire during the least critical moment in the series when Solaire was literally about to do it too
>Kills the 4 Kings for their shared soul, which became reincarnated and actually did something much worse in Dark 2

W-Well, at least he stopped that evil Seath from getting his scales unfairly, right?
>>170429239
The gods don't truly fear humans. In fact, the only real difference between humans and gods are that Gods just have a stronger, prettier soul, and thus have powers over certain regions. For instance, Velka is considered a god, while the Vow of Silence miracle simply states she is a black-haired witch who is considered a rogue deity. They don't represent or embody the aspect they're associated with so much as merely identify with it.
The Dark Soul is different from the Lord Soul in an unquantified way. It was once part of the Lord Soul, maybe all the power was taken out and all that was left was the husk that could still grant consciousness to the humans? And the Dark Soul was said to be much smaller and easily forgotten than the Lord Soul, and yet it split into billions of parts, or at least seems able to repair and reform a whole if broken like a liver. It may just be that the difference is that the Dark Soul is much, much weaker and less luminous, and that's also why the Dark is much weaker as a whole than the Demon threat, though it also lasted longer because A) Gwyn never turned his eye to it, and B) Humans continued to exist while beings to be corrupted by Chaos ran out because Lord Souls are scarce.
>>170429183
Well that was fun.
>>170429146
that's another good example. I'm not sure if the game loads two areas simultaneously, or if the game loads anor londo as you're fighting the iron golem. it's something I wonder but probably won't get a verified answer to.
>>170429831
Probably during the cutscene. Besides, there are plenty of times where the world will just pop in when you walk into the adjacent room, so there's probably shenanigans like that involved.
>>170422269
Divine and dark damage types have always been inconsistent.
In dark souls both divine and dark magic did physical, but divine and occult weapons did magic
Dark souls 2 didnt even have divine weapons
Dark souls 3 divine weapons do purely physical damage.
Divine = phys probably because reasons
>>170428637

>>170428637
It's not even infinite, you can reach the end reasonably quickly.
And my guess is that it offloads everything not in the bossroom as you enter the bossfight. Which would make sense for a lot of reasons.
>>170429831
I think they load them in parts. Kind of like how there are fog walls in co-op preventing you from breaking out of bounds for the designated loading areas so for example the host can't be in an area that would cause the area where the phantom is at to be offloaded from memory. Fromsoft are fairly good at hiding this with tunnels,scale models of future areas that you think are the actual areas, level geometry that prevents you from seeing where the areas that get offloaded are, but sometimes you get glimpse of a pop-in.
You know there will be one (or more). Who will invade you in trc dlc?
>>170430613
I think they'll bring back Maldron just because he's so memetic at this point.
>>170430705
Only DaS2 babbies think this. For everyone else he is just a generic cheating NPC.
>>170429974
Dark Souls 3 doesn't have "divine" weapons, it's the blessed upgrade path from DeS.
Dark Souls 2 didn't have a divine path, but Lightning infusion scaled with faith.
>>170430098
couldn't find it, dsmodt kept crashing. probably because loading anor londo loads a fuckton with it. i did get this sweet protofirelink ss though
>>170430780
>Only DaS2 babbies
off yourself.
I know Maldron is overrated as hell in terms of difficulty goes, but he's fun because he's a mixup of your standard NPC invader and he's actually pretty cleverly scripted, that's why people like him. And TRC looks like it's going to bring back a lot of DS2 stuff so why not?
Sure, in terms of actually being a challenging fight, Bloody Crow of Cainhurst and BP Satsuki are the hardest ones, but they're not within the Dark Souls franchise.
>>170430850
oh man sweet Morrowind modes dude
>>170430893
>pretty cleverly scripted
Lol, DaS2 babbies are delusional. People only remember him because he is programmed like shit. You can knock him off the chain, and he will stand up, and walk across thin air to get back on the chain.
Aside from the crystal lizard underneath the Grave of Saints, is there any where else to get one of these things early?
>>170429723
Hmm I think the Dark Soul represents the dark itself. Its incredibly weak because the age of fire shines light on everything. The darkness is extremely weak. Now as the fire dies things like the abyss begin to form and the gods with the lord souls become weaker and weaker.
I'm level 74 and my attunement is only at 13. It feels like I'm close to the end game because I just kill bosses easy and I'm at izalith. So I wanted to try something other than basic melee.
Can I still do some pyromancy?
>>170431020
>DaS2 babbies
I'm done talking to you. DaS2 is my least favorite game but I'm not going to listen to people who don't even try to understand the things in DaS2 that were clever like Maldron being scripted to run to the curse area at low health and the white ring trickery at Eleum Loyce.
>>170431360

>I am done responding to you because you rekt my shitty argument, and I want to save face.
FTFY
If you really cared about that shit you just typed, and were just trying to save face, you would have just not responded instead of trying to get the last word in as DaS2 babbies always do before running away with their fingers in their ears.
>>170432418
I wouldn't hate it as much if the horses weren't infinitely spawning. No matter how many you kill, every time the snow clears up and goes back to blizzard mode the horses get refreshed.
>>170432418
I think it would be a really fantastic area if the rape horses were toned down a bit in how the spawn and function and the time span of clear-ish blizzard conditions lasted longer.
In DaS1, what is the fastest possible way to acquire an Ascended Pyromancy Flame +5?
>>170432098
My problem with DS3 is the lack of unique dialogue even when you kill NPCs, she just says the same things for it.
Another issue is that you'd expect people to react to some of the shit going on in the world somehow. This is something that wasn't that much of a thing in DaS 1 or DaS 2, but I loved how in DeS and Bloodborne people actually acknowledge stuff that's going on in the game world, like people start getting more anxious as the phases of the night go on (or become nutty as heck) or reference things happening like St. Urbain coming back to the Nexus, as well as the Old One growling.
>>170432498
>>170432537
I didn't know they keep respawning, just adding salt to the wound I suppose.
Also, am I good for the DLC? I'm ~115SL and just beat Undead Crypt.
Not sure I should be doing this already but I like ice worldsif you can see them that is
>>170432418
>can we all agree that levels designed to not be able to see are dumb?
No. The gimmick worked really well in Eleum Loyce in my opinion, and to a lower degree the fogginess in some Bloodborne levels / shaded woods also worked really well in terms of instilling atmosphere.
>>170432634
I disliked that the firekeeper almost never had anything new to say.
How about giving her a few lines about the LoC that you've killed or something? Or maybe something more about her suspicions towards Ludleth.
>>170432715
I haven't played bloodborne yet. Can you show me some examples of the foggy areas? I understand what you mean and I even feel like the shaded woods was short enough that it was manageable but I'm salty at Eleum Loyce.
>>170430850
thanks for your efforts, I appreciate it.
>>170432802
Well, Bloodborne doesn't have imo areas that have all-pervasive fogginess like Shaded Woods, but a lot of Bloodborne areas use your vision being obscured by darkness to make a lot of the levels deadly by virtue of pitfalls and traps. But in Bloodborne you also have torches that help to counteract this so it's still really fair.
Also, some of the chalice dungeons have devices that shoot out vape clouds(the same things that were in Tower of Latria in Demon's Souls) that make it really hard to see in a room, but you can destroy the vape machines and clear out the visibility-hampering clouds.
>1.5 hours till The Ringed City info
>~19.5 days till The Ringed City releases
>>170432802
Forbidden woods come to mind, as well as some Chalice Rooms.
Other areas also have fog, but not as thick.
How in the fuck do I consistently dodge Nito's ground spike? I don't get this move at all.
>>170433159
listen to the scream and time your dodge accordingly
>>170432726
The NPCs that you encounter often have something interesting to say about stuff but I was really fucking disappointed about Andre starting to talk about the Profaned Capital and then he just reverts right after to his tutorial dialogue about weapon forging. Would be cool if someone like acknowledged the eclipse or anything, or the SoC being the only one that's left besides the Fire Keeper.

get to the burg, grab gold pine resin, go to valley of drakes, grab rtsr (optional but very helpful) go to catacombs, grab the great scythe. get hit/poisoned to get to rtsr range, buff, your weapon, kill quelaag. vertically chopping weapons with enough range can hit quelaag's humanoid body and stun her, it's most easily done with reapers/glaives. you could also use the garg halberd which is better for fewer stats, but it requires you to kill gargs and it's a random drop. after you kill quelaag, dupe her soul 40 times

Welp, I just beat him after equiping Havels.
>>170433523
Quality's your safest bet, since it's likely you'll be able to use most of the weapons in the DLC. After beating it once just run through it on your other characters to grab what you want from the areas.

If the four boss battles rumour is true, then the likelihood of at least one being angel-related is pretty high.

Priscilla struggled to retain composure, let alone an even speaking tone, while trying to remain menacing. The icy steel of her scythe ached her fingers, and she realized she had a death-grip on it. Though the half-breed doubted the undead could make out such minute details, a twinge of regret pulsed momentarily as she loosened her hands and felt the blood rush back into the slender, alabaster appendages, and what little colour belonged returned. The tightness in her abdomen had been there for hours, though with the undead knight running rampant through the painted world, she had been unable to relieve herself. She had tried to distract herself by musing to herself the intruder's intentions, and come to the conclusion that the presence was in search of Gwyn's last daughter. She would not down her guard now that she was stood before, even though the pressure had become almost unbearable.
She opened her mouth to speak, who had ignored her previous warning and stayed inexplicably still. "Thou must returneth whence thou came." In an act of betrayal and of collaboration with her treacherous bowels, her stomach began to rumble defiantly, ominously, painfully, and made her knees buckle as a burst of gas forced its way free. The trumpeting of its escape heralded the true scope of the monster building inside her: she could feel the monster pressing itself against her exit, almost breaching the tight hole that kept it prisoner. She could practically feel every bump and nook on the surface of it through her nether as it pressed the intestine it was quickly leaving into the outer wall of her virgin, pristine love-hole, creating some perverse mixture of pleasure and desperation that pervaded her being and filled her with naughty ideas until they were all she could hope for.
"This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind, but thou dost not belong... unless, thou were to performeth... a, small task, in my name, to swear fealty to thee, to curry favor..."

Priscilla is more human than anything else, the dragon Gwyn fucked clearly didn't contribute as much as he did. She eats, and thus, the result has to happen too.
And she's so regal and noble, I can see why you'd think she wouldn't have to. It's just below her station, it's for peasants. Who could imagine someone of Priscilla's class and elegance red-faced and holding in a hot stinky mess? It would be so degrading.

This is way too common. I blame the memes.

Killed every one of them that way, and when I reached the notstein I couldn't defeat it, mainly because "lmao roll IN, not AWAY".

I'm going into NG++ now on a faith build in DS3 and it has been one of the most schizophrenic experiences in terms of being enjoyable or effective but it might just be me having a really hard time adjusting to a non-melee build that actually relies on casts for the best damage output.

Oceiros only has memetic value because he's a talking boss, and those are rare in FROM games and really should be more often. Just look at Micolash - a rather lame fight that became a classic because he just spouts retarded bullshit and awoos at the moon.
Nameless king is yawn-inducing, his design is really not that interesting and he doesn't have high story significance either. He's FROM throwing a bone to DaS1 fans with their constant arguing about who's the firstborn, even though initially it was planned to be Andre with his scrapped storyline.

The Chaos Fire itself is a curved sword as it transforms into a sword shape.
It could be a weapon to be used as a sword or simultaneously, as pyromancy.
>>170437759
Use the Forbidden Blade of Jficopjaas, that thing is overpowered
>>170437667
So this is another Firekeeper, right ?
>>170437526
I have done a fist run in the past this sounds awesome

That purple particle effect is the same the Demon from below produces and ignites, isn't it?

You gotta get the hammer of Uderyk, it's imbued with light and can strike down any foe.

>>170437845
Is it okay if I kill the Forger though? This guy keeps making all my weapons heavy so they do less damage.
>>170438017
it's not a dragon either
>>170438060
He's a demon, purge him.
>>170437667
Looks like her official name is Filianore.
>>170437667
Under the soft light of sun set, a woman sleeps everlastingly. Covered by overly grown bacillus, she is holding a half cracked shell. Her name is Filianore - her sleep is meant for the sake of others.
Gertrude & Gwynevere fags BTFO
>>170438060
You'll be hunted, that Forger is a Keeper of Purity and any harm brought to him will be brought back to you tenfold.

A gray giant who appears to wear the old judicator clothes. Raising its hands up in the air, the giant is shouting towards the ceiling. Seems it's calling someone far up in the sky.

This should be in the next OP, replacing the Famitsu link.
This thing looks like those weird humped statues in the Cathedral. Guess we know what they're of now.
>>170438457
It's not, but you can tell that the architecture is deliberately similar.
The subtitles combined with the angle imply that this is a cutscene, too.
>>170438305
The only reason anyone wanted Velka was to bring back the Pardoners.
>>170438457
no, look at the tiny chair, it wasnt there during Aldritch Bossfight.
Besides it not the same place I m sure of that, but there it is a bit similar

Yeah.
The "angel" is just a projection controlled by those things. It keeps coming back if destroyed until the pilgrim thing is killed.
>>170438060
Don't do it, he's one of the game's main romance options.
>>170438457
It looks similar, but it's not the same place.

>Deep worship originates from Aldrich's prophetic vision of the imminent age
>Aldrich was a cleric serving Sulyvahn
>Sulyvah, the sorcerer who is exceptionally skilled at the Painted World's signature illusory magic, which is strong enough to create illusions that physically interact with the real world.
>Sulyvahn took control of the WoW and Anor Londo by force and proclaimed himself Pontiff

>Sulyvahn came from the Painted World
>a painted world controlled by Sister Friede
>who is actually the founder of the Sable Church in hiding
>and clearly trained Sulyvahn in her signature dual-wielding swordplay in exchange for being taught the ice magic he invented
It's all starting to come together now. Sulyvahn is essentially a Londor agent working indirectly through the guidance of Friede. The Cathedral of the Deep and Angelic Faith are just fronts for pushing Londor's true goals.
Hell, Aldrich's "vision" was probably just an illusion showed to him by Sulyvahn --a trick meant to manipulate the powerful devourer into furthering Londor's aims outside of the reach of Irithyll.
Now that we know Emma was a Londor agent all along, it seems clear that literally every religion in 3 traces itself back to the Sable Church in some way. They're all sockpuppets being controlled by a cult of anti-fire hollows.
>>170439268
you'll need some black pellets and a +5 dark-infused small rubber shield
>>170439381
Dart is slower than surge and throwing knives and costs more stamina. It's objectively less of a problem and less cancerous.
If you wanted to prevent sorcerers from being passive, time-wasting cancer then you should ban basic soulmass.
It honestly feels like they cobbled together the base game haphazardly, realized this is a send off for the series mid way through the first DLC and are only now pulling out all the stops for the final DLC. Visually this DLC looks more like what I expected when I heard it's the "final" Dark Souls game.
Do you think this DLC will finally include luck-based gear or will luck builds continue to be irrelevant trash relegated to one overnerfed straightsword?
Im loosin it senpai, we gon hex nao?
>inb4 its worse than izalith staff
>>170438612
>>170439391
>Londor did literally everything bad that's happening in DS3
>>170439561
There probably won't be any equipment that shakes up/improves any build or introduces any meaningful balance changes, just some shiny new toys to play with.
>>170439238
honestly, the idea of being a headless dragon form is pretty spoopy
>>170437490
Fuck me, it's the same type of a dragon as the dead one we see in archdragon peak.
>>170439529
All of the games are cobbled together haphazardly.
It seems more like Fromsoft always had a conclusion planned out in concepting and were just holding onto it until they were certain the series would be ending for good.
Fromsoft DLCs are always a huge step above the main game in terms of quality because they receive proportionally more budget and development time for a much smaller pool of content. If you expect the main game for any fromsoft title to look as good as dlc you're kinda delusional. They just don't produce quality like that in bulk.
>>170439391
>emma was a londor agent
I recall hearing this before, maybe from an item description?

At the start of the new DLC, you meet a female londor pilgrim who talks to you and sets you up to advance through the area. She's also a merchant that sells you some new stuff.
One of her lines of dialogue explains that she was once the wet nurse of Lothric's royalty.
Emma, the High Priestess, was the wet nurse of Lothric's royalty.
>>170439623
that looks like poleaxe/halbered with a skull, a spine, horns and a few bones attached to it
>inb4 it's just a greataxe with a molten perseverance type wa, only dark

Are you blind?
Even the horns are the same.
>>170439561
As nice as that would be I really don't think From very much cares for improving the gameplay experience at this point.

you clearly have no understanding of shape or form
twinkling headstone has a spikey lower jaw and sloped nose
the one in the dlc has a more boxy nose and jaw

>>170439391
>>170439391
I'm pretty sure Sully acted and fucked shit up completely on his own accord, after all the game does mention that he goes bonkers after he sees the Propane Flame. He wasn't corrupt yet when he left the painting. Maybe he was afraid and didn't want to face the future all painting denizens eventually face, or on the contrary he could've become hellbent on the idea of forcing the Painted World values on "those fool on the outside" after seeing the Flame.
The dual-wielding thing sounds a bit farfetched to me, for all we know he could've left the Painted World even before Friede arrived.
>who is actually the founder of the Sable Church in hiding
Yes, and she's also hostile to other Church members and even calls out the player on Yuria sending the Ashen One to their painted world.
>>170439682
It's not supposed to be headless, there is just no model yet.
>>170440153
But it's Flianore.
>>170439795
>>170439939
It does look kinda like the roaring halberd, and considering there is Earthen Peak/Harvest Valley (areas right after Skeleton Lords) in the DLC, it might even be sort of related.
>>170440014
If it's anything like the Amygdalan Arm but with a skeletons upper body instead I'm so fucking sold.
GUYS. Forget Philipino and LOOK AT THIS ARMOUR. Consumed Lothric Knight set baby. It better be obtainable.
>>170440150
She could be undead.
>>170440021
Ah yes of course thank you very much.
>>170440246
Filianore
>the curved sword from demon prince ain't just a claw, it's basically a chaos itself that takes a form of weapon
this shit looks doper than furysword despite having simpler design
>>170440338
I hope it's not obtainable, just to continue the trend set by the base game with variants of Lothric Knight armor.
>>170440338
what fucking weapon he's even using?
too thin to be lothric knight sword
>>170439623
Aren't those the horns form the Warlock Mask ?
>>170440414
You monster. I still can't believe we can't get the blue lothric knight set.
>>170440506
Hmm good point. Are there any longsords that thin that we know of?
>>170440536
There's no need to use DS2 material when there's creatures with the same horns in DS3.
They are also using dark magic.
>>170440602
Blue lothric set would be nice, but the one I'm most butthurt about is the unobtainable fancy and good-condition versions of the deserter set being worn by the soldiers on the twin-princes bridge gauntlet.
>>170440506
>>170440602
It's probably just LKS but sideways.
>>170440602
>Are there any longsords that thin that we know of?BALDERSIDESWORD

>>170440729
OH SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT

>>170441146
It's the same scabbard.
>>170436873
I've only half completed a Faith build in DaS1. I remember being impressed by the how tough you can be with all those miracles but I didn't get to DMB or Sunlight Blade. I was using a Lucerne as my primary and liked it quite a bit.

>>170441612
It's probably going to be set on fire with WA like knights themselves are using it.
>>170441275
It means fucking nothing because the scabbard from the right picture is identical to that of LKS.
>>170441275
It means it's the same shit as before.

>late-game
Brah, you're meant to be an Aldrichfag in roughly the SL50-60 range, where you're going to invade people who have just beaten Pontiff and are just trying to make their way to Aldrich. Any higher, and you're running against gank squads with Lothric Castle and ADP gear.
Why don't the NPC's in Dark Souls 3 hollow out and make you kill them at the end of their quest line?
You just happen to stumble upon their corpse moments after the end of their quest line? Pretty lame.
>>170442053
Probably not. The gameplay footage makes it obviously a normal enemy without poise and the screenshots show it in different locations than the trailers.
>>170442572
You mean like the Anri questline? Hodric to some degree?
>>170437853

Sure, for this he kinda suits
>>170442405
>50-60
Nigger how much fucking souls are you losing
30-40 is CotD level range and you get a shitload of souls between then and anor londo, how are you so low
>>170442760
Only top 2
Demon Prince/Crimson Bat
Either Mother of Dragons related or the "soul serpent"
Both underneath seem more like portals, the giant has a cutscene which looks like he grabs you (probably throwing you somewhere else) and The girl seems like tipycal transport to another area stuff.
>>170443209
50-60 is the general level people are there, the only way you'll be higher is if you've farmed
My main character on a solo play through was level 86 when he defeated the Nameless King with a Greatsword, on a pure physical combat build.
For reference, since most of you faggots are homosexual phantom summoners.
>>170442572
Because hollowing works differently in DS3.
>>170443392
>leveling above 80
lmao what a shitter
>>170443392
>there are people in this general who summon phantoms
I really hope you guys dont do this
>>170443298
Catacombs, Wolnir, Demon, Bridge Dog, Irithyll, and Pontiff give you plenty of souls without needing to farm
>>170443209
Because I have fashion and consumables to buy. I don't autistically grind souls to level up in order to face bosses, and neither should you.
SL70 is around the range for beating Homoprinces, and is the official recommended level for entering Painted World.
>>170443519
>SL70 is around the range for beating Homoprinces
I hate to tell you bud, but most people are doing that at SL90.
>This spot marks our grave. But you may rest here too, if you like.
>>170437874
It most certainly is. A mix of fists, flying kicks, and uppercuts with nearly everything causing knockdown.
>>170443484
>Spending all your souls on overlevelling your character instead of buying cosplay outfits from the shrine handmaiden or stocking up on 200 black firebombs and human pine resin
>>170443392
Yeah, and I beat Nameless King 26 levels lower than that. And I'm sure a bunch of other people here have as well at even lower levels than me.
>>170423409
I killed him early for Motion blade yesterday. I've never felt so guilty in a Souls game.
>>170443596

You can just taste the :^) when you hear that line. No boss in this franchise is so smug.
>>170443596
Favourite line in the game.
>An ancient city that has sunken under darkness. >Many things have sunken, but at the same time, many have arose.
Is this supposed to be New Londo ?
>>170443589
the only people who are SL90 are the ones who sunbroed a whole lot on the way
>>170443589
Because they're shitters. Pre DLC, SL 70 with all optional bosses makes sense assuming you don't grind or lose souls often
>>170443821
I'm telling you, I'm currently phantoming at SL93 and I get constantly summoned. There are a lot of people hitting them around 90, moreso than people doing it at 70 I daresay.
>>170443805
It's Jerusalem
>>170443392
>Greatsword
God tier taste anon, its always my blind playthrough weapon as well and I completly agree on the summons thing
>>170443463
Ive only summoned ONCE in all of the souls gamesincluding Bloodborneand that was when I was killed by Lorian, by his "star attack" that hangs in the air AFTER I had last hitted him and Lothric,reducing their hp bar to Zero. When I spawned, it hadnt registered, and I had to fight the boss all over again. I got so fucking pissed, because ive had the same shit happen to me at other bosses, where it registered as a win for me, that I summoned 2 phantoms and just went balls deep on themIt felt like cheating
>>170443484
>overlevling
I'm in irithyll right now at SL 43. No way am I going higher than 50-60 for pontiff.casul
>>170443805
There was no Gwyn's daughter in New Londo and you dind't need special envoy to reach it via banner so no.
I summoned Solaire and defeated O&S in my first try
>>170443905
I hope you realize it's because you can get summoned down pretty far
SL70 can get summon by people who are SL53 for example
>>170444157
Minimum level 74, still not quite 70.
I get summoned a lot even though I'm level 200
Just letting you all know the spoiler twist that humans are children of dragons and that gwyn denied humanity their rightful divinity when he slayed the dragons and cursed their soul.
Seath was a human who wanted to become a dragon and went mad when he figured out he denied himself his own dragonhood by siding with gwyn
They should really make multiplayer a NG+ only feature.
Only have NPC invaders and summons for the initial playthrough.

>>170444886
Because the continuous linking of the fire is sucking the life out of the world, causing life and death and light and dark to merge back into an age of grey. People stop being able to die, but aren't exactly alive either. You get the undead. That's the first sign. Now new archtees are being formed from hollows. A few people who are wise enough are able to turn into young dragons.
Basically, the world is turning back to what it was before the first flame because the natural cycle of light and dark was fucked up and not allowed to happen.

I heard DaS 3 will be the last of the series, I thought they would've added more DLC to milk the series dry before throwing it away.

Has there ever been a confirmed age of dark though?
I always thought some areas fell into the dark but the Rekindling of the flame banished the dark before it got too bad and it's just been the first age of fire lengthened for as long as possible.

Foretold doesn't mean it's happened it means that it's going to happen, maybe. Kaathe and Frampt both foretell of what your 'destiny' needs you to do but they are mutually exclusive
so a primordial serpent came as an "angel" and gave Gertrude divine pillars of light, which became the foundation for an angelic religion that destroyed Lothric and thwarted the linking of the fire
it can't be frampt, because he supported the linking of the fire
it can't be kaathe, because yuria declares him to be deada third primordial serpent?allfather lloyd?

>>170447385

hoho my newfriend
Angel feathers litter the throne room and their spells are golden because Lothric and Lorian sided with the their big sister, Gertrude
All three are against linking the fire, the Angelic Faith was labeled heretical by Oceiros and his firelinking religion, not Lothric and his refusal to link the fire
The blue-clothed Lothric infantry/knights are ones who sided with the Angels, which is why those are the ones that guard the twin princes and why there's so many dead red Lothric Knights
Angels and Lothric (city) had a civil war, Lothric sided with his sister and the angels and won.
>>170447627
Worshipping seath and being pro-dark aren't mutually exclusive dipshit.
The First Scholar was the one who convinced the Princes not to link the fire.
>>170447513

is it still compatible since they did the steam update thing?
>>170447053
If it was just that by itself, then sure that'd be something of a stretch. But the winged knight armor also has a helmet that looks like Frampt's or Kaathe's face minus the mustache, which is a hell of a lot more suspicious.
>>170447669
>Angelic Faith was labeled heretical by Oceiros and his firelinking religion
Oceiros is called "dragon angel" in the beta files, not to mention dragons themselves are considered heretical by Gwyn's religion.

Hohoho,
She was imprisoned IN the grand archives, and kept under lock and key by the Scholars, who were pro-dark.
Soul Stream Description:
>The first of the Scholars doubted the linking of the fire, and was alleged to be a private mentor to the Royal Prince.
The scholars and the princes went pro-dark and refused to link the flame. This was in contravention of the original lothric faith, which was Way of White/Blue, or Gwynn worship. The high priestess was forced to go along with this even though she didn't believe in it, because of her love for the princes whom she nursed. This prompted a defection to those loyal to the linking of the flame, a rebellion inspired by the vision of the angels. The defectors were called heretics.

oceiros abandoned the flame when his attempts failed. he turned to the angels to seek an answer
the first scholar was a primordial serpent, and introduced said religion
seath has angel feathers because dragons and humanity are linked in some way. dragons and crossbreeds such as priscilla are deific human beings, and "fallen" serpentine dragons such as frampt and kaathe represent the dark and corrupted side of humanity. frampt and kaathe both have fastly different opinions on what they want from humanity, but neither is in humanities best interest.

We don't know if a Serpent visited her. Could have just as easily been one of these regular angels that are actually confirmed as Angels. In fact, it seems that they didn't speak the normal language, as she was the only one who could translate.
Also it looks like the corpse was Gertrude after all.

her son isn't nearly as cute, must be the fathers genes
seath is not a true dragon. seath was a man who wanted to become a dragon, he managed to functionally become one, but he could not claim their immortality which drove him to help gwyn in his dragon war out of envy.
he spent forever researching the soul and undead immortality, eventually driving himself insane when he figured out the secrets of the soul and dragons. people who look too deeply into seaths findings, such as oceiros and logan, are driven mad and towards the path of the dragon.
>>170449356
Nah, man, it's an angel. Just compare with the trailer (0:56):

>>170450195
Anon, are you unironically trying to argue that Dark Souls' multiplayer should be more like Nioh's? Because if so, you're fucking retarded.
>>170450409
That's because the hag hasn't unfurled its wings yet. It's freshly-hatched from its "cocoon"—the remains of that pilgrim lying beneath it.
>>170449689
Yes. That's the recommended way of going about it, even. You could've googled it and gotten your answer 10x faster, you know.
Wanted to do a cringe character and the first thing I thought of was "DIE CIS SCUM". Idk if it looks alright.
>>170450627
I don't know what Nioh is, but I was pretty clear with my original statement of how I believed Dark Souls multiplayer should be handled.
Initial game cycle excludes online interaction.
NG+ enables online interaction.

So I'm running a faith build when I stumbled upon this Crystal chime thing that would let me cast sorcerers with it. I got all excited because I've been wanting to try out Frosted Weapon (I have a fetish for collecting weapons of every element to abuse enemy weaknesses). Boy was I disappointed.
Is there any point in using frost even against enemies that the wiki says are weak to it?
Is there any point in NOT using Lightning Blade against enemies that are resistant to lightning?
How do I maximize my array of effective elemental weapons as a high Faith user?
I've noticed Chaos infusion renders Lightning infusion obsolete. Any other tips?
>>170451663
Lightning Blade is always the answer.
>>170451663
>Is there any point in using frost even against enemies that the wiki says are weak to it?
No. I Frost imbued my weapon against Dragonslayer and I felt I could've outdamaged him with any other weapon/weapon buff.
>>170451663
>Is there any point in using frost even against enemies that the wiki says are weak to it?
Yes. Frostbite is actually a fairly handy status ailment, mostly against bosses. The defense drop helps melt their health bars like it's nothing.
>>170451663
>Is there any point in NOT using Lightning Blade against enemies that are resistant to lightning?
Yeah sure, try using Lightning Blade against Nameless King. It'll add an entire 5 damage to each swing.
Why do Irithyllians crawl the way they do?
>>170445632
According to Kaathe, once there was an Age of Dark, but Lord Gwyn trembled at the Dark and in fear of the humans and the Dark Lord that would rise among them, linked himself to the Fire to prolong his own era. So there was an Age of Dark already, it just didn't last long because of Gwyn.
>>170451930
Because they're being pulled down by the weight of the darkness infesting their very forms. They adopt a bestial gait not just because they are being driven mad, but because it helps keep them mobile.Really, though, it's just to distinguish them from the other knight-like enemies.

I usually use the Irithyl Straight sword and have the best luck, when the frost pops he almost always staggers down even at NG+2.

They probably would be the same, I imagine NK has no special resistance to fire but has a lot of absorption vs lightning. Charcoal pine resin adds 85 fire damage, I imagine your lightning blade would be adding a lot more.

It's obviously easier if you have a shitton of damage and health.

it's not because of the safety advantage because that shit affects arrows, greatbows included.

Probably what morphs into a Pilgrim Butterfly.
>>170453049
Well, pupa is the cocoon stage before butterfly, so I imagine it's the Pilgrim itself. The Pilgrims have something growing in their backs, and the hag is mentioned to have multiple bodies in the pile. It's possible that the Pilgrims are implanted with a caterpillar or multiples of some sort. This also seems to be confirmed by the fact that the statues that show the progression of the metamorphosis in the Cathedral of the Deep implies that the entity on their backs is not them.

Did you expect them to reveal the entirety of the dlc pre release after the backlash for Ariandel? They have big stuff in store, but they've already revealed enough.
Oh and we can't say anyone is confirmed to not be in the dlc, we can only aay we haven't seen any sign of them so far.

they are both hollows, and physically warped from having a parasitic larvae inside of them
it should be obvious they are ugly as shit and want to hide it so people dont kill them out of terror

I usually only do 1 or 2 runs with a character and then move on to the other one, so I guess just exhibit. Thanks for the help.
>>170453452
Just so you know they're not totally different. You kill these pupa things to destroy the angels in the sky. That's already confirmed.
The real question is why the fuck is Londor doing this to people? Why make Angels at all?

>heh, beat them at my own game

Except they are sent out specifically to die. They made their pilgrimage so that they can finally die. They want to.

The big tube bandage is meant to represent a comically oversized nose because they're the deceitful and manipulative zionist jews that Miyazaki puts in all of his games.
That's why they're obsessed with their pilgrimage to the Ringed City granted to their ancestors by God, aka totallynotIsreal.

Gwynevere is Gwyn. He always wanted to be a little girl and lived vicariously through Gwyndolin.

I'd wear it on a windy day.

rosaria is the daughter of gwynevere and the queen of lothric. cathedral of the deep imprisoned her within the cathedral because she is capable of turning humans into grubs, which eventually pupate into angels/butterflies.
>>170454019
die IN LOTHRIC KINGDOM. their corpse needs to physically be in the vicinity of lothric/ringed city so the butterfly can hatch in the right place.
>>170453878
because londor = thorolund
sable church = corrupted way of white
londor seeded the angelic religion into lothric kingdom, as part of the plan set by kaathe, to accomplish something unknown but clearly horrifying.

>that fanfic where gwyndolin transforms a darkmoon knight into gwynevere

>14 estus used with the most fire resistant set in the game against Gwyn, Lord of Cinder
>LB is always the answer haha
Wow boy.
So, I already started, but I forgot something important. I know what kind of clothes she'll use, but idk what kind of weapons she'll use to smash the patriarchy and kill cis scum.

I think I used about 5 of them on his last little bit of health because I was trying to be greedy and get the quick kill.
It was my first time completing Dark Souls.

Honestly can't think of any music in a cutscene besides the Demon's Souls opening.

Hey I just beat him. I wailed one of his legs for like 30 minutes before realising I had to get both to knock him over. Then his head fell into a wall and I couldn't even hit it.
