ancient knights of the ringed city who come from the same cloth as gwyn, using the same sword technique as gwyn, which involves lighting the blade on fire using the soul.

I know it's necessary for fighting giant monsters and stuff, but I wish there wasn't any rolling or dashing in these games. The only one where it seems kind of appropriate is Bloodborne because you're playing a superhuman vampire anyway. I personally like to watch HEMA, and there's no rolling in that. I just think it would force the devs to look more closely at weapon interactions and pvp.

>>171261963

His windups have delays to mess up your rolls. He'll hold his spear for some moments ready to hit before actually doing it.

His Lightning Stake attack will catch you most times, so avoid it like hell.

Those are generally the things I had to learn to beat him.
>>
>>171262367
Not really, there's absolutely no reason to bump up Int and Fai unless you're actually going to be specializing in one or the other. That's two more points that can go into Vig to make you less squishy.

Armor is worthless, and so is investing in Vit. You're taking barely less damage than if you were still wearing your K***ht Set, at the cost of fat-rolling in the game that has the most broken rolls in the franchise. Strip everything down until you're under 70%.

It has nothing to do with skill, they're not hard to beat. They're just damage sponges. I even parried him instead of going for backstabs and it STILL HIT ME despite the parry going off.

best way to farm Proof of a Concord Kept?

Is it really just farming those Silver Knight fuckers in Anor Londo, cause I've been doing it all day and have 5. Get summoned once every couple hours.
>>
>>171263993
Yup.
Slap a Symbol of Avarice, Gold Snek Ring, Crystal Sage Rapier and Coin and you'll triple your drop chance for the things.
To a whooping 3% or so
>>
>>171263554

I've never seen that before where it didn't end up being a partial parry. I mean he went into full riposted animation, and I got the critical. He just hit me anyway.
>>
>>171263993
Welcome to the grind. Unless you have 300-400 item discovery, don't bother. Even then, you're going to take at least a day or two to get those Concords. It's still far easier than farming Dragon Scales at Dragon Shrine with CoC on.

You really should have done Blue Sentinels at low levels though, since people will actually use WoB at those lower levels. Each Concord you get before emerging from Carthus is one less Concord you have to farm off of Silver K***hts.

There must be some irony there somewhere. All current LoC are weak to lightning as well.

Yes. But the max you're going to get is 6 HP/sec, so it's only good for extended-duration PvE runs, co-op as a phantom or invading. The only other use is preventing someone with Kirk Armor from finishing you off with a roll after popping your Tears.

>>171264849
you dont have to kill her for the pale shade to invade you

just punch her three times and run away, you can even ask forgiveness at the statue in undead settlement after you kill the shade 2 times to get his stuff.

get to 27 at the bare minimum, get to 40 by the end of your build.

You have the option to do so, and the option to not do so, just like in the first game.

Fug, I should have allocated my Estus better. Although it feels kind of like cheating to have used Sunlight Spear rather than Stake.
This was actually way easier than trying to fight her with a straight sword

That has been a thing since 1. If you parry too late but early enough for the parry to go off, you can riposte but also get damaged. Partial parries cone from parrying too early and getting hit in the recovery frames

Jung was big on the idea that myths were expressions of the collective unconscious and Dark Souls is (more or less) a modern myth. I'm still only halfway through and still trying to wrap my head around part 1 but tl;dr I think you can view the story as a descent into your own psyche/dreamscape where all the various kingdoms and characters are reflections of your self. A lot of the imagery Jung is using mirrors a lot of what is in Dark Souls, generally. I'll see if I can try to find a couple more examples if anyone's interested

>Gwyn

>Primordial Serpents

>Darksign Sun and apparent civil war in Lothric

I'm 99% certain that guy doesn't have a stamina bar. I mean, Pontiff and Lothric Knights might swing combos at you for what seems to be forever, but they do eventually stop.
Sword master just keeps chaining power attacks into R1 combos in more power attacks into stance shit over and over if you let him.

Anyway, he has no poise. Longsword him into oblivion and roll away when you're about to run out of stamina.

Unless you have a 100% physical shield, it won't help much. Also, his katana has a weapon art that lets him either parry or do a power attack, if you see him sheathe it, don't try attacking unless you're two-handing a fuckhuge weapon.

Keep in mind that poise does not exist in its traditional form, if you can get a hit on him then you can stagger him for another hit, and vice versa. Learn to watch for two-hit combos, and don't attack more than twice if you can since that otherwise just wastes stamina.

Alright I'll give some pointers but these are for females but should apply to males as well? I spent too many hours on games waifu fagging so might as well help someone else I guess.

The most important part of the face is actually the nose. If the nose is fucked up the whole character will look off, so what I usually do is get a general frame going, ie) eyebrows/hair/general mouth expression in mind, and then work on the nose.

After that I usually work on eyebrows, for DaS3 they have the inner/outer brows, for guts I guess the inner brow should be going downwards and the outer upwards, don't fuck with this too much or else you'll look like you have downs.

The eyes don't actually matter all too much, don't make them too big and depending on the angle you may need to space them out or make them narrower, generally if you angle your eyes downwards(which is pretty much the only option) you want to make them a bit more narrow but again use this in moderation.

The brow ridge on the default should be fine but may need some touch ups for the most part. The thing to keep in mind here is that this part should be used last along with things like facial balance and wideness since these don't change your face all too much except proportions and spacing. You won't know what you're doing until you finished with the other detailed parts such as the mouth/nose/eyes

As for the jaw and form emphasis, I have no real idea what form emphasis does(all I know is that it makes you look like an ayy) so I don't really touch it. As for the jaw the settings should be fairly self explanatory. Keep in mind that the mouth sliders will actually affect the jaw/chin so keep that in mind.

Mouth contd. in next post since it's probably the most difficult of things to get right

Parrying has been a terrible idea since its inception. It's a one-sided action that, once its used, has no reaction or counter play to it. If used successfully, it will simultaneously negate attacks and deal massive damage to both players and enemies, usually one shotting them. The only risk of using it is being unsuccessful, and thus the only real counter to someone good at it is to try and fake them out so that they use it incorrectly.

It's especially absurd in PvP because PvP is built on the idea that people have estus flasks to heal off damage, and a layer of the game is trying to find openings to heal, and punishing people healing, so that you whittle down their total effective health by doing so, or effectively terminate it before they can make use of it all. Parrying can pretty much completely sidestep this entire layer of the game because once you get one successful parry, their estus/miracles/regeneration don't matter at all. YOU can chug with impunity, because all you have to do is land one successful L2 and you win.

DS3 heavily encourages you to do it pretty much exactly because estus is so ridiculously fast and hard to punish. If you don't parry someone, they're just going to keep healing into infinity, unless you're a big fan of the washing pole. It's also by far an invader's best shot at downing a gank squad, to the point that invaders who can't parry are rarely successful in fighting multiple opponents.

To be fair, we only think there's 4 bosses because dataminers found 4 names. If there's bosses that don't drop souls, or drop other items, we wouldn't know. This kind of gives hope for 4+ bosses, now.
>>
>>171282145
All but one of the bosses in DS3 are good though. Even the ones that are gimmicky and easy are stylish and creative. Instead of stinkers like Prowling Magus we got fun gimmicks like Deacons of the Deep.

Do you have any tips on how to use them?
Im guessing you have to play kinda retroactive, and poke when the opponent gets agressive

Also did you run a dex with sharp infusion, or quality on them?

>>171283791
I mean, if I were playing a sorcerer I'd use both for funsies, especially since Judgement got buffed to shit a while back
>>
>>171283654
They are both good but I think the Moonlight greatsword is better for it's low stat requierment (I don't even have the stats to one hand it but still sometimes use it on one hand anyway because the magic AR compensate this)
Also the strong attack launch high AR projectiles and it doesnt cost anything (exept durability but it's a non issue)

I've got a pure sorcerer at 20 dex with sages ring and 60 int. Is it worth going 30/50 instead for a dex int hybrid?
>>
>>171283779
>190 damage dagger swipes
Yes please. Should even be comparable to actual damage, maybe slightly higher - enemy should have high magic def the way the builds were set up. Probably offsets the physical scaling that the attacker has (build was 45/25 in str/dex, right?)
Biggest drawback is of course the apparently reduced walkspeed in stance. Oh well.
>>
>>171283802
>Im guessing you have to play kinda retroactive
Yes.
R1L1 is a true combo.
Rolling L1 is your main way of offence.
WA if you can predict their offence.
>Also did you run a dex with sharp infusion, or quality on them?
They are both good for different reasons.
Sharp with base STR is good when you're on low levels.
Refined becomes better the closer you are to SL120 and 40/40.
>>
>>171283905
Depends on what you want to do desu
If you want to for Friedes/Aquamarine once it comes out, probably
If you still want to focus on spells, stay at 60 - i don't think the jump from 20 to 30 is worth it for most weapons
If you want a high-damaging full phys weapon with sorcery, look into a luck/int build with mangrubs staff and anris ss (sadly cmw doesn't work with mangrubs scaling though)

So interestingly the Aquamarine dagger does magic damage even in its dagger form. If you look at IGNs 4 player brawl you can see this around the 1 minute mark.

I imagine the weapon art mode will add a bunch of magic damage.

If you plan on making a few builds it's fairly easy to get without trying. You'll want all miracles on your faith build, all sorceries on you int and so on. Covenants come naturally aside from one.

Let's make a weapon class with the phantom range of a spear, with a running attack that has no windup whatsoever, and inexplicably give that attack the same hitbox radius as a horizontal swing from a fucking greatsword so not even rolling aside is reliable! They'll also have an innate feature that causes massive extra damage after being hit a few times, and you can add to that effect with a buff. Oh, we'll also make have one particularly ridiculous one that is only 5 times the length of the rest! On top of this, the weapon class will attract all of the neckbeard animu fans and weaboos so they're assured to be fucking everywhere hahaha

Hello /dsg/
I have a question, what talisman is the best at 60 FTH ? Regarding poise and spell buff. I'm currently using Saint's talisman, the SB is great but holy shit the poise is awful. Doesn't matter in PvE but is annoying in PvP if the guy I'm against uses an utlra.

>>171286472
>MHF out of japan never ever
Feels bad
>>
>>171287864
I like how during the pvp stream they mention taking our feed back very seriously then refer to the new arena maps.

what about our feedback about nonshit covenants?
>>
>>171288894
Sunlight has more poise, Canvas has better spell buff. Take your pick.
>>
>>171288894
Canvas is the most optimal PvP talisman provides a fair balance of spellbuff and gentle prayer compared to the Saint's with good spellbuff but shitty poise and Sunlight's awesome poise and bad spellbuff.
>>
Is ringed city gonna be larger than painted world?
>>
>>171288894
People generally use the canvas talisman for PvP, it has higher poise than the saint's and higher SB than the sunlight.
>>
>>171288894
Canvas Talisman. You don't really need Sunlight because you're unlikely to ever get staggered with Canvas anyway.

>>MHF out of japan never ever

Also I learnt that the lightning clutch ring is useless for PvP, what should I replace it for ? I have both miracle rings and FaP ring already.

I heard about that, but the language is still an issue for me. There was also an english patch but the people who did it stopped working on it for a while or something.

Something along those lines.
I'm not sure if bow's casting speed is going to be increased by dexterity, if it does then swap life + 3 to sage + 2.
It won't be a top tier build but i think it will be fun as fuck to use.

>>171290650
Do we know whether it can be infused or buffed at all? Not likely but if it's not a boss weapon there's a chance

It has a base fire damage, VERY unlikely.
>>
>>171290923
It probably works similar to onyx

It's a twinkling titanite weapon by the look of it so most likely it won't be buff or infusable.

>>171286849
Yhorm's is fine since it can only swing 2-4 times and all you need to do to beat it is dodge a bunch.

The only cancer in PvP are:
>Shield turtles
>Katanas
>Parry spammers
>Friede roleplayers
>Roll spammers (sanic roleplayers)
>R1 spammers combined with horrible japanese netcode that makes them unparryable and able to hit you from the opposite side of the map
>>
>>171291732
Int is a far more limiting spec because it basically has nothing useful except damage spells and that one buff (and magic shield too I guess). Its damage spells pretty much need dedicated gear so you either overspecialize or are stuck with just your buff.

Faith has lots of other useful buffs that you can take advantage of, like ToD. You also get access to a cancerous healing miracle so you can run away like a bitch and poisecast a full heal when you're losing.

Basically, buff builds favour the casting school with more buffs.
>>
>>171291198
Dragonslayer's Axe, Lothric Knight Greatsword, and Drakeblood Greatsword all have base elemental damage, and they can be infused/buffed.
>>
>>171292341
They don't have an elemental weapon art though.
>>
>>171290923
It maxes at +5 and as far as I know, no twinkling weapon is infuse/buffable.
>>
>>171292415
Same reason I can't use black knight sword, much to my sadness. At least the claymore is gud
>>
>>171292516
BKS has like 40 more AR than the next strongest greatsword, if it could be buffed it would be seriously fucked.

I actually rather like the paradigm with that concept. The strongest weapon AR-wise is unbuffable and requires two stats while also having a less useful WA, trading damage for options, basically. To keep its playstyle interesting, it has unique R2s that, while useful, aren't as good as the WA would be.

I wish more weapon classes took that kind of balance approach. It seems like a lot of them give the shit WA to the weapon with shit stats, have something require a double-stat investment for lower AR than a pure-stat equivalent, or give it a non-attack WA while also having a generic moveset so it just has objectively fewer attacking options with no payoff
>>
>>171292341
>Drakeblood Greatsword
Yeah, but split damage is horrible.

You'd be better off going with a hand-and-a-half sword for that sweet prong damage
>>
>no bone first

It really just needs an A or B scaling at +10

400 or so AR seems reasonable; a bit below the big weapons, but you've got a great shield + weapon in 1.

It's like 200 at +10 now.
>>
>>171292415
Anri's Straight Sword is buffable but not infusable and uses twinkling titanite.

If I remember correctly refined Stone Greatshield at 40/40 has the highest AR of all shields. It comes close to 400 AR

It's shit. Any player whose seen it before won't get it, the windup is too slow. In PvE I'm not sure but I dont imagine the damage is worth the risk.
>>
>>171294740
It has a useful knockdown effect together with the decent damage. Bad in 1v1s, but who cares about those.
>>
>>171294740
The value of it is being the only ranged nuke pyro has that takes a single attunement slot.
It does slightly less damage than vestiges and GCFO and is harder to use because of the delayed detonation, but is much more stat-efficient for blowing up big, slow things. It also has a hard knockdown effect against enemies that are possible to knock down so it makes good crowd control.

When I went through the first DLC, I used it alongside boulder heave and black flame. Boulder heave knocks something down, which immobilizes them long enough to cast PF, which then detonates right as they get up to knock them down again before they can act and so on.

I think it's handy to have because it leaves you enough attunement to carry an extra pvp spell with you while you're working through pve so you're not helpless if you get invaded by someone that knows how to roll vestiges.

Painted World Corvians are the original species but rotting away and degenerated from the decay of the world. Corvian Knights are less physically fucked up and closer to the species at its prime.

Lothric Corvians are likely an evolved species from being outside of the painting so long that it's mostly just a myth. They've kept some crowlike features but are also notably hollow, so they are likely a human/original Corvian crossbreed. Some have found their way back to the painting, and those ones have chilled out notably.

Irithyll Slaves are unrelated. They're just dark shadow people with no resemblance beyond color.

>>171299154
Well if you want to get really deep into the fanwankery, you could say that the Irithyllian slaves share the theme of being rejected wretches with no place in this world with all the other peoples who one way or another wander into the painting.

The Deep Accursed really have nothing to do with it though.

>What's the relation between the baby bird Corvians, the Irithyllian slaves, the regular hostile Corvians, and the Deep Accursed? They all have very similar features.
The slaves wanted to be free and dreamt of having wings, so they turned into birds. They are led hy heretical storytellers to search for the painted world, which to them is this utopia where they can be free from oppression. When they get there, they start turning into the rotting decrepid corvians and eventually into the fly monsters. Some of them instead hang out outside the chapel in the hopes that they can serve Friede as Corvian knights and purge the other corvians who realized that the world is actually shit and want it destroyed.
>>
>>171299546
>species
Naw, you've got it all wrong.

Corvians are just hollows that have transformed into birdmen. The ones on the Road of Sacrifices and elsewhere in the main game are in the process of transforming while the ones in the painted world have completely transformed.

The Painted World ones are in horrible condition because they got fucked up by the Corvian Knights. They're hollows and so can't stay dead, so they just got eviscerated and left to revive with their guts hanging out. You first encounter them laying 'dead' in a massive pool of blood and gore with a Corvian Knight hanging out nearby. The Knights violently put down any Corvian who resisted Friede's will because they're fanatically loyal to her while most of the painting's inhabitants were in favour of burning it.

Humans turning into inhuman things as a consequence of their environment/magical influence is a running theme in all the souls games. The hand monsters in the Profaned Capital were once human, the original demons were once humanoid gods, Gaping Dragon was once a normal creature, Aldrich was once a cleric, etc. It's something to do with the Painted World or the Goddess who favours it ("Mother of the Forlorn" Gael mentions) that causes people to crow-ify, but since they still retain human-like intelligence it's clearly not a bad thing.

The basis for that is an old interview with big M where he described the bird ladies in the Painted World as being followers of Velka in a way that implied they were humans that transformed through worship.
>>
>>171300990
It's got something to do with the painted world's rot. My theory is it's an abyss that was created by the gods hiding away too many dark/occult/otherwise unsavoury things in Ariamis, and it was unleashed somehow when Ariandel restored the painting with his blood.

So my Sorceress run is mostly done, just got the archdragon peak and old demon ling left to do.

Am I doing something wrong because with 60 int, crown of dusk both the rings and scholars candlestick offhand the damage from sorceries isn't as spectacular as I hoped it would be. It's still good just underwhelming in comparison to pyros for instance.

Also since I have a quality, pyro and sorcerer ready for the dlc is it fun doing a faith run through the game or should I just backup then respec at rosaria?
>>
Why do people play this game coop?

I just tried being a casual today. There's literally no risk of death. Everyone just runs forward spamming r1 at the npcs and either kills them in 1 or 2 hits or stunlocks the tougher ones to death. Even invaders just get chased across the map by a horde of r1 spam. The bosses you can just run away from when they are targetting you and only hit them when their back is turned so you never take any damage.

Why do some people play the game like this?

He became the leader of the covenant of heretics that worshipped the captive Eldrich, and subverted the church after poisoning Gindolf, and became the leader, then fed Gindolf to Eldrich

Gwyndolin was the ruler of Anor Londo and the Silver Knights and Darkmoon knights. He was also the head of the Way of White, Irithyll and the Cathedral.

Suleyvan poisoned Gwyndolin, converted most of the way of white to openly worship Aldrich and the Deep prophesy, turned all of Gwyndolin's remaining loyal knights into beasts, then finished him off and threw his sister in a tower she could easily escape from if she weren't dumb.

Sulyvahn was a scholar in irithyll who f7cking hated the gods, he took advantage of political influence to take control of the irithyllian government, and anybody he didnt trust he purged by exiling them as outrider knights.

He shat all over the god race and when he was done he went to lothric to fuck the last of the gods there and stop the flame from linking.

That whole summon thing is such a terrible design choice. They could've just had a cutscene and voiceover after you kill your third LoC. Not to mention having it not happen at all if you kill her early.

This picture shows two minor things, firstly that the depicted figure does not have a face underneath those tendrils and secondly that it wears two hoods simliar to the sorcerers hood in this game. Remarkebly is that the tendrils emerge from underneath the second inner hood.

I think it means we will have some bosses of the base game that became normal foes, like they did with Flexile Sentry and Pursuer

Not him, but I just assume that if you're breaking into my world and not seeing me flanked by two phantoms, a quickly-approaching blue and a Seed of Giants you'd meet me in the middle.

It's not like it's an equal fight to begin with, what with the diminished health they have invading. If you think people whose presence serves to throw a wrench into your game should have anything resembling honor, you're confused.

>>171312443
When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

The dreg heap being a gargantuan maze-like area featuring the hollow remnants of bosses you fought in all three games would be fucking incredible, and since that entire section consists of reused assets it would be incredibly cheap to do.

His ass.
The only thing we know about the knights is that their armour refers to them as "Capital Knights" and their weapon is called "Ringed Knight Straight Sword."

The item descriptions associated with them mention their flame having once been sealed but now released but doesn't explain by who or why.

Thank you, anons. I ended up using a shield, taking shelter from the spins behind the pillars and punishing her/his/zir weapon buffs.
>>
>>171313010
Bullshit. I've had her spin 6 times, then tried to go in on her and then got spun on two more times. And then later when I counted her stopping after 8, I tried again and got spun on for a total of 10.

I don't know if it's random, but she changes up her patterns very unexpectedly. Better to just not bother with it and go at her from behind where she has predictable attacks.

I am conflicted on how to feel about this. I just want him to play through the game on his own and explore, but he's just not doing it. He's not fucking new to the series at all. I want him to take his time and enjoy the game.
