The Fire is the sun. When a star dies it collapses on itself creating a black hole. As a black hole forms it sucks everything into it, and within a certain distance light cannot escape. The lands are converging because the collapsing fire is a black hole. The Kiln is inside the event horizon, where the world has collapsed in onto itself creating a crushed landscape of different lands.

When an event like the death of a star occurs, it doesn't occur everywhere simultaneously, because information takes time to propagate. If a star has collapsed then an observer closer to the star sees light disappear first, while a distant observer doesn't experience any change at all. Dark Firelink is closer to the dying star so the light 'disappears' at Firelink before it disappears anywhere else in the world. Light Firelink is the image of Firelink trapped on the event horizon, frozen in time at the moment before the end of the world.

We're trapped in time on this event horizon, fated to fail over and over again to re-ignite the fusion reaction which fuels the star. We have to use the power of the Lord vessel to travel out of this area, collect fuel from the moment before the world ends, and then travel back into the event horizon to chuck it on the fire. As we move through locations we are functionally moving through time, because a single moment like the death of a star doesn't occur simultaneously everywhere, but instead travels outwards through space like a ripple. You could interpret this as all of DS3 taking place in a single moment before the end of the world.

the firekeeper's clothes are all top-tier for chicks. I really like the big hat too, although I'd prefer if there were also maskless and hatless versions. Anything of Lautrec with archdeacon gown.
My favourite pyrohexer fashion and maximum comfy would be the blindfold with dragonscale armor. Not sure about the gloves and feet, maybe firekeeper and grave warden.

I'm trying out Dorhy's Gnawing on bossfights and it's awesome. From my wiki research the bleed effect is independent of scaling or talisman/chime strength. So is it correct I should just use whatever can cast it the fastest? Sage ring + saint tree bellvine chime would be all I need to get the most out of it?

Balance is important to make sure that the breadth of gameplay options and mechanics available feel rewarding and worthwhile.

A shitty game is one where you have a dozen attacks but only one worth using. Your game might have complexity, but in practice it's shallow as mud. Bad balance has kept a lot of options in DaS3 from being worthwhile for single player, and that affects the overall singleplayer experience. When a player looks for a new weapon to try and finds everything is shittier than their straightsword, it affects their enjoyment of the game. When a person considers trying a caster playstyle only to find that it's weak and tedious and has only a couple good spells while the vast majority are terrible, it definitely impacts their experience.

What's worse is that since the player obviously doesn't want to trial-and-error through 50 spells to find the few good ones, the fact that there's so many bad spells is intimidating.

Imagine being a guy on your first playthrough with a spare attunement slot (since the knight starts with one) and looking through the list of possible buffs you could attune and the spells with low reqs you could afford. How the hell are you gonna know if Carthus Beacon is worth the stat investment? Given how shit most spells are, you make the safe assumption that this spell will be shit, too, and instead just stick to playing without spells in general because every option seems like a loser.

>>171558931
I wouldn't say it's the last patch, they may release at least one more to balance DLC shit after it's been put through its paces by the playerbase

It might not deal much damage. It's a quad scaling weapon and the footage we've seen is from very high level characters, where it was hitting 800 odd. Drop that number to account for stats at 120 and you've got combo damage that's not hugely out of line. I also seem to remember it bouncing off a shield.

>>171559371
allright I just tried it out, no rings but sages (+0), bell vine with no upgrades @ 45 faith adn it was still bleeding like crazy against Oceiros. Kind puts the other miracles to shame as far as pure PvE goes.

That would tend to be a failure of concepting. Like in DaS2, for example, every magic school does damage the same way, with a fast and spammable ranged projectile that has a bit of tracking. It isn't really variety.

You can fix this through balancing, though. For example, the main distinction between lightning spear and soul arrow is that the former does double-damage in melee. That gives it some unique identity and distinct use. The problem is that, currently, that spell is too weak relative to the way it hurts things.

In some cases you can add variety by introducing distinct numerical strengths and weaknesses (executioner's GS is buffable single-stat but weak AR without buffs, wolf knight is unbuffable quality but strong with just scaling). In a lot of cases with DaS3, things are already unique and interesting, they just suck. They fail to be attractive options despite the potential for unique gameplay because they don't have big enough numbers to have a meaningful impact. Carthus beacon is a good example: you waste two attunement slots and a small number of caster stats for a blessed weapon buff that lasts half the duration of BW and potentially gets slightly stronger after you've already killed everything within reach. The duration is too short considering its long setup time, and the actual impact on your gameplay is minimal because the damage increase is marginal.

DaS3 is full of options that are like that: high oppourtunity cost for low returns, or just low returns in general that make you question "why bother?"

Should I give a shit about poise if I'm using a greatsword?

Fuck. I'm trying to put together a strength/faith build for the dlc. What are the best faith weapons?

>>171560087
some miracles are pretty good at PvE though since you can exploit boss patterns and support everybody


side note, I tried using replenishment, anri's sword and a blessed parrying dagger to see if the regen was worth it at all. Awful. I only have 30 vig and it was barely trickling in. You are better off just off handing a simple infused weapon and using the FP to cast healing miracles instead. For long levels where I'll probably run out of estus I take two simple parrying daggers. always one offhand unless I'm casting and if there is a lull in the battle I swap my primary weapon for the other.

Not everything that's bad in DS3 is also uniquely interesting, but yea I absolutely agree with the principle. It's heartbreaking when some of the options with the best internal balancing of their strengths and weaknesses are made redundant by one other extremely boring option that happens to be overtuned.

Friede's Scythe by itself is a fantastically designed weapon. It has uses for its entire moveset including both WA's, 1H and 2H R1s and R2s, they all have something going for them and are balanced well against each other. Then you stick it in a game where the whole weapon itself is bad because the numbers don't compete with a SS 1HR1.

PATCH WHEN

>>171561090
The Ringed City will introduce a new character early on that you will confront as the final boss. They will have little relation to the story of the souls series as a whole beyond being an explanation for why Gwyn gave the pygmies a city. It won't be the furtive pygmy or any existing lore character, and will have lose relations to them at best.

There will be a broken pendant callback that doesn't go anywhere or answer any questions, too.

this is japan we're talking about anon.

>>171562967

The other person you meet early on is Rap (or whatever his name is), who's probably Patches as he's started to go hollow, or he's putting it on. He's looking for the Purging Monument in TRC.

I can't see him being the boss. Aiding, perhaps.

>>171561195
did you try parrying it?

The final boss is a True King Allant style fight against The Furtive Pygmy who only weakly fights back. When you kill him, he turns into a giant abyss creature called Humanity's True Essence, and upon defeating that you receive the primordial lord soul which looks like a humanity sprite. This item gives you a fifth ending to the game, by letting you burn it in the firelink bonfire; this creates a world that will never again cycle, and the flame will burn forever by siphoning power from the spirits of mankind. It's implied humans will be far weaker in this state, but you bring stability to the universe by doing so.

Like, it's not even close to believable. If you were trying to trick someone, I assume you'd at least dress up your lie and make it convincing.
But then why? Did you just want to write out fanfiction but didn't know any other way to word it?
Were you just trying to present your speculah like it was a fact so people might take you a little more seriously?

How goddamn bored do you have to be to waste your time with this shit? At least if you had drafted it up as prose, you'd have killed time and produced something half-worth reading, but instead you spent your idea on a thesis to the dumbest paper possible and dumped it on 4chan to be casually dismissed and mildly insulted.

I'm new to DS3 pvp and really shit at it. I've maxed out the Demon's Fist (because I really like it), Millwood Battle Axe, Valorheart, and Wolf Knight Greatsword.

I like using the Black Knight Shield with the Axe and Greatsword as I enjoy WA shields and it has great stability.

Any recommendations on other weapons to upgrade all the way? I'm thinking of Gundyr's Halberd and both the BKGA/BKGS. Maybe a straight sword as well.

I really like playing aggressively, but have little knowledge how. I typically use jumping attacks after using two R1s as people tend to roll in a way that lets the attack land. I'm also traumatized against pyromancers. Jesus, they're terrifying. I couldn't approach one because of Fire Surge and Onyx Blade, but I couldn't stay away because of the myriad of other spells.

The ability to flick instantly to any angle you like at a certain point in the attack animation. Notable because DS2 doesn't do this.

What does the onyx blade weapon art do? Does it just add fire damage? Does it turn the dark damage to fire damage?

Yes dark souls is good. No its not too hard for you. Yes the story is vague and combat wonkey. No the PvP is not worth it. The witcher 3 is stale and a slightly upgraded skyrim. You pick.

>>171564368
It simply adds fire damage.

>>171564616
How much does it add?

>>171564638
150

>>171564342
Nice try, but the "Burn Undead Bone Shard" option comes up at the Firelink Shrine bonfire every single time you go there, even when you don't have any. The item itself says "Cast it into the shrine bonfire to boost the recovery provided by the Estus Flask." Nobody would actually be that retarded.

150.

It's a tax to make an otherwise ridiculously good weapon deal not-mediocre damage.

Also twinking with it hardcore because it's a flat 150 regardless of scaling.

The weapons you listed are mostly meta and very strong. You shouldnt have trouble against most pyros with gunderps or blacked sheild. If you like agressive go for a bleed build using warden blades short sword etc. Also spears are super meta atm so there that.

>>171564697
Your priority in the summoning queue has always been based on success ratio in defending hosts. Originally it was counting failed connections in the background as failed defenses, so everyone got shit on. They patched it to not do that, but everyone was still using ancient 120 characters that had a billion failures recorded. You can crack it open in CE and check for yourself, or just start any new character and equip the covenant at the Undead Settlement.

>>171564194
Souls games are a nice mix between action game and RPG. If you're good enough at the former, you can beat damn near anything with no concern for stats and gear and all that jazz. If you're good enough at the latter, you can stack enough stats and power to obviate the need for skill, or find some balance in between. The flexibility in playstyles is one of its biggest virtues.

If you liked zelda games, particularly the N64 ones, you'll be pretty much right at home with the basics of combat and gameplay. It borrows a lot of the same ideas. Do note that Dark Souls is pretty much all combat and exploration; there is little-to-no puzzle solving and NPC questlines are largely vestigial and inconsequential.

The first game is generally the best starter for obvious reasons but is also the worst of the three at explaining basic mechanics and the most unforgiving to new players. Bear in mind going in that the start will be slow and you'll need patience to figure things out if you're committed to going through blind. Otherwise, there's really no shame in looking up basic info liker "how do I parry" or "how does weapon upgrading work" or "which stats are good"

The only thing that every new player absolutely must know going into dark souls is that Resistance is a useless stat and should never be leveled under any circumstance.

>>171565040
good luck hitting anyone who's located their dodge button.

>>171565195
>not being a passive bitch and fishing exclusively for trades when your opponent gets impatient and careless.
The key to mastering the greathammer is first mastering the art of dodging washingpole running attacks indefinitely. When they realize you won't attack and therefore won't get hit by their only move, they start trying things that aren't immune to consequences.

First: that picture is cool.

Second: I'm not big on buffs, as most of my weapons aren't buffable and I stupidly limit myself (for example, I don't use throwing items), but I will give it a try, though. I'm interested in using pine bundles as they seem like a fun and quick attack boost, similar to a short Warcry.

I sometimes "use" Drang Twinspears in my offhand for fashion, but i didn't know spears other than the Gargoyle Flame Spear was really good. I might upgrade the Drang Spears almost all the way to try them out like I did the Astora Greatsword. That was a fun weapon. Not even +10 and I got almost 1,000 damage on a charged R2 after Leo Ring.

What's a good UGS to upgrade? I have 25 VIT and pretty heavy armor so I can forego a shield to use a heavy weapon.

>>171565549
If you're a quality build (str and dex) then the Profaned GS, BKGS, and Astora GS are all good choices
If you're a strength build, FUGS is the only option.

Best sword for a sorcerer twink besides raw ASS? I dont wanna waste points into FTH.

>>171565683
Depends on your physical stats
No split-damage weapon is good at a low upgrade level except the ones with built-in buff WAs, and there's pretty much none of those except the GSoJ

That means you're stuck with raw weapons, most of which have fairly high reqs.

>>171565683
>wasting points in luck instead of using the best twink weapon

>>171565683
Put your catalyst in your right hand and put the rapier in your left so you can parry & stab. If you get a parry you just have to 2h the rapier to get the riposte.

Im not a big buff guy either but bleed builds are pretty fun and very agressive. Pine bundles are sadly not that great unless you like spamming them. Drangs are ok but take a while to get good with usually. Im bias and would suggest the profained ultra, since its heavy WA has a sort of push crouch animation at the start you can trick people into giving you space by starting but not commiting and also test to see if they even know what it does, if they dont roll, finish up with the heavy and send them flying. Plus even if it doesnt connect the bonus fire damage is nice and means you can skip resins.

>>171558571
Is the last DLC a short piece of shit too?

>>171563135
so that's why all "gods" in japanese lore can die?

In DaS1, as a pyro wielding a Great Scythe, should I go for a Chaos infusion or just normal +15?

>>171565620
I've upgraded the first three nearly all the way as well as the LKGS. I'll probably got m go for the PGS or BKGS because that R1>R2 combo is beautiful.

FUCK. I forgot about Tsorig. I kept telling myself as I was playing "Get the ring and armor." Then I never fought him once. I'll get to that when I'm not sick.

Thank you for helping me. I'd also appreciate any general tips for pvp.

Fun fact: The Profaned Greatsword gets an AR boost during its upward swing in the WA. This boost is not only different, but higher than the buff. From what I've experimented with, no other UGS has this trait.

>>171566056
Well it's confirmed to have more than 2 bosses so hopefully not.

>>171566056
tRC looking to be pretty long.

AoA was short as fuck but good for as long as it lasted.

>>171566087
Profaned GS also gets the same AR boost when you fully charge any of its R2s

still, you shouldn't get parried that often

>>171566074
+15. No reason you shouldn't be levelling your dexterity.

>>171566074
you want 45 dex for max casting speed, so i'd recommend +15. since you can't really buff as a pyro, I'd recommend trying out the lifehunt scythe. more damage, better bleed, its only downside is the self-bleed.

I have 40 int, 30 att,10 dex and 10 str. Everything else is baseline. Currently I'm staying under 50% so I can roll and dodge the bosses effectively.
My sorcerers staff is +5. And I'm currently using the fire longsword as my melee weapon.

BEST PLACE FOR INVADING IN DS3

I swear I've never lost an invasion when I invade at the Grand Archives.

I literally just sit and taunt at all the different ambush points, and as soon as they get to it, I rush in, swing a few times, and then bolt off to the next ambush area.

I had to go all the way to the boss fog one time, but most of the time they'll die before they get by the Gargoyle rooftop segment.

Ds1 is for sure slower mechanically but it shouldnt be so bad since everything else is just as slow and 'clunky'. But if its really that bad for you try getting ur hands on backflips asap and that should help.

>How are they going to resolve so many open questions in just one DLC?
They aren't. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

I miss how all the demon weapons in 1 were pure str powerhouses instead of the hybrid pyrostr shit we got in 3.

Has anyone ever tried to successfully build Friede's face on a character? I remember someone saying that just ripping her face data directly via CE doesn't work, but has someone tried doing it manually?

Also, post Friede.

>>171571807
DS3 is the first time sorcerer is fun, so you have that at least.

Start with the actual sorcerer class. Spam heavy soul arrow for the first part of the game because it's efficient. Gun for the Dusk Crown ASAP. Get flash sword because you'll need it. Get the crystal sage's rapier because it's the best INT weapon for a long, long time. Immediately get magic clutch and scholar's candlestick in Irithyll. Get bellowing as soon as you can hit up the dungeon without fucking Siegward's questline and the titanite slab. Get a simple gem because FP regeneration is worth it. These are most of your priorities.

You start off shit and eventually become fucking broken. You'll want great soul arrow and great heavy to replace your bread and butter later, flash sword to sweep mobs and melee fast bosses, pestilent mercury to cheese the shit out of a lot of otherwise difficult encounters, crystal soul spear when you get it for alpha striking tough mobs, and possibly soul greatsword or farron hail for nuking trash. Dark sorcery is a joke. Get to 60 INT, because for some reason spell buff scales better between 40 and 60. Upgrade your rapier and catalyst as often as you can. TAKE OFF THE DUSK CROWN WHEN YOU GET INTO THE ARCHIVES UNTIL YOU KILL THE SAGE JUST FUCKING TRUST ME. Pop into Ariandel if you feel like it because snap freeze works bizarrely well on some bosses.

Sounds like you didn't enjoy it for what it was back it the day.

Any halberd alternative to the MLGS in ds2?

>>171571492
Because you like Open Endings or because you think there will be a sequel?

>>171572247
I don't think anyone would be holding a torch during Wolnir's fight in the final game, god damn lying marketers.

what the fuck am i reading

>>171572310
The closest you'll probably get is Dragonrider's, all of their weapons deal split Magical and can be infused.

Anyone got any tips for fighting Pontiff with Smough's Great Hammer?

I've barely got the stats to wield this thing. So my problem comes from the fact that Pontiff is relatively quick, and that rolls to create a window of attack + said attack rapes my stamina so I very often cannot roll away from his next attack. My damage is also quite underwhelming I have to say. Does he resists strike damage or something?


I must use Smough's Hammer, before anyone suggests I use a different weapon.

>>171572453
What's so hard?

>>171572465
alright I'll use that. I am an introvert and don't like carrying huge swords to compensate for my height or small penis. I'd rather use a practical weapon like a halberd

>>171572453
I still have no idea how the fuck the Lords of Cinder work, it feels like incoherent fanfiction.

>>171572102
Not the anon you replied to but that is good to hear. Going to follow this verbatim.

Can you answer these questions I had? >>171568996Ignoring the 60$ one for obvious reasons

So I don't get it. Firelink shrine, untended graves, kiln of the first flame. All the same place, but just different points in time? is it all just handwaved away with "tiem is disdorded in ldrand :DD"?

>>171572542
>time travelling
>alternate universes
>why dont the lord of cinders want to sit at the thrones

>>171572323
The latter, but also because I feel a definite, set-in-stone ending would sour the whole series, given how far we've come with simple vague allusions. I'm not even that big on the lore, I just think it'd be a cop-out for From to answer all the mysterious shit people have debated for all these years, as backwards as that sounds.
Just give us a good scattering of well thought out scraps and call it a day - like the usual, but better.

>>171572517
The capslock bit is the most important part. You do not want negative magic absorption when that crusty old nigger is raining soul jizz on you while you're climbing ladders and stairs.

>>171572453
Don't read anything. 99% of what you'll find online is completely harebrained garbage made up by people who live in some strange alternate universe where "making the fewest assumptions" strangely isn't part of what makes a theory credible.

>>171572631
The firelink shrine and the untended graves are the same place at vastly different times.
It's unclear about the kiln but it's probably a cross-dimensional "hub" of sorts. Considering it brings in different worlds together (cathedral of the deep and farron keep, for example, are not originating geographically from where they appear to be).

Astora Greatsword with Lightning, nigga

>>171564194

Please dont forget demon's souls, its the most unique of the three and the most friendly to beginners. The bosses are basically concept tutorials and will prepare you for the more aggressive stuff you'll get in the other games.

>>171572615
The DLC is short because most of the work that went into it was PvP content. What singleplayer content there is, is really good and filled with amazing weapons. Ignore the meme shitting.

Straight swords are still amazing braindead R1 blenders, but the meta has largely shifted past them.

Poise now exists (sort of) and it's all that heavy armour is good for. It works essentially the same as it always has, but is only active during attacking frames, and not for light weapons, similar to the "hyper armour" we were babbling about before.

tl;dr: you can wear heavy armour and then tank through straight sword spammers with trivial ease using maces and anything heavier. People who go naked while using an ultra are shit out of luck.

Because being burned sucks apparently and most of them got "tricked" into it at first or has better plans this time.

I don't understand what you mean with time travelling/alternate universes and how those things could be hard to understand.

>>171573004
>The bosses are basically concept tutorials and will prepare you for the more aggressive stuff you'll get in the other games
Man that's a real nice way of saying From rehashes the fuck out of the Demon's Souls in Dark Souls games.

>>171572543
Major League Great Sword is still a pretty fun weapon, at least moreso than in DaS3. Spammable beams combined with Bracing Knuckle +2, Repair sorcery and Crown of the Old Iron King = infinite ammo.

Halp, I need a cheat table to change my character's name.

I tried the only one I've found, Dark Souls +8(4.3), and it doesn't work, it always adds a shitton of korean or ASCII characters after the name.

Parry like anon suggested, use gay weed and gay crest sheild, and then just learn what attacks you can punish and what attacks you cant.
>>171572725
Time travel aint a big deal, we fantasy n sheet.
Times been convoluted from the start, but really there are no alternate universes, just one big fucked up one, kinda like a maze of possibilities.
Aldrich is busy trying to find the deep, Abyss watchers are busy trying to civil war the fuck out of the abyss, Yhorm has given up on hope and life after the only person he cared for died, and the princes have been convinced by pope boss king lord pontiff the baller sulyvhan to not link jack shit.

what did he mean by this?

>>171573229
Bait his jumping attack
Roll through it so that you end up right next to him
He will follow up with an attack that is incredibly easy to parry

His 2nd phase is pretty easy, just wail on him when he summons his stand and make sure he does it a lot (i.e. kill the stand)

>>171573229
Just try it. It's not that hard, anon
