In DaS2, you can change your gender, I think that's it (not sure if the old ladies let you change appearance at the start of the NG cycle).

In DaS3, you can change appearance up to 5 times per cycle, but respeccing also counts towards this limit.

I remember once I decided I wanted my build to be male instead of female so I tossed her in the coffin expecting it to be like, standard male face or something. What came out was the most gorgeous man who ever walked the earth. I made a habit of tossing my characters in there to see what their opposite gendered self looked like, but most of them were fugly as hell, no idea how that beautiful man came to be.

>>172201458

JUST USE CHEAT ENGINE AND GIVE YOURSELF 99 GREAT SOULS. USE ITEM SWAP TO GIVE YOU THE WEAPONS/RINGS YOU WANT AND ACTIVATE "UPGRADES COST NO MATERIAL" UNDER THE SCRIPT SECTION.

Is it really that fucking hard? Why go out of your way for an illegit save that will get flagged immediately, if you can even get it to work (you probably can't). If you do what I just said above and do it offline, you will almost certainly be fine.

>>172201679
Shitpost aside, this is actually a good question.
Which non-humanoid bosses are the best across the series?
Thinking about it, it's feels like there's rarely a really good or memorable one, for whatever reason.

>>172201872

Kalameet

Artorias was a special deal because back then in DaS1, duel bosses aside fron Gwyn werent that common. He was basically a novelty. That said, what made Artorias memorable was his godtier voice actor. His death scream is something I can fap to for days.

I thought Manus was more emotional and fun to fight honestly. As far as series favorite I'm going to stand by the absolute best though, Ludwig

Why was this guide https://github.com/igromanru/Dark-Souls-III-Cheat-Engine-Guide so fucking gutted?

It doesnt include ways to dupe characters/change character name and so on anymore, why is that?

>>172201869
mules are fine m8, and upgrading more than 8 weapons to +10 will get you banned. There is also no more "flagging", you get noticed immediately if they want to ban you and even give you a chance to get rid of whatever malicious shit you got running

It's extremely easy to dupe characters m80. Look through the options on the table and use your brain.

>>172201901
I didn't say all "big guy in armor" bosses were good, I said that most of the best boss fights in the series were big guys in armor.

>>172201872
That's because players across most games in general prefer human bosses over non human for a variety of reasons. It's easy to make a diverse human boss moveset since it mimics what the player can do and is immediately recognizable to a player as opposed to monsters thrashing about. That being said I've never been as enamored with human or "acrobatic person" bosses even in the souls games. I always found non human bosses done well to be far more compelling like Manus or Kalameet.

What level are you guys hitting the DLC with?

Level 188
NG+

>>172201872
Comming to think of it it's usually a classic european dragon ie Sinh and Kalameet

>>172201994
Having played 1 recently, I honestly felt like Gaping Dragon was a pretty bad fight outside of his visual design.
There's really nothing else going on that's interesting or challenging.

>>172202068

They were honestly a bit over dramatic and almost cringey. Not sure why they didn't try some different lines though.

>>172202139
level 20.

>>172202068
Same reason they cut Quelaag's in the base game. The fight was infinitely better without them.

It was the peak for souls for me, BB isnt medieval so couldnt not get that much into it despite the quality and polish of the fights and while the spectacle most of them didnt quite had the rush i got from that fight.

Nameless is a close second, but that first phase needed some fix ups to be harder and less camera hell, despite me having very little issues with it, also second phase could be harder as well

>>172201679
Knight fights just tend to be of higher quality overall anon. That doesnt make all knight fights good though, and making it a knight fight doesnt automatically makes it good, that was DaS2 mistake.

Do it offline (either set steam to offline or just set it so you don't auto-login in the network menu and manually log in when you boot up the game).

Don't drop yourself boss souls (the souls you use don't use to transpose weapons are fine).

Don't drop yourself titanite shards (just use the "upgrades don't cost materials" script to get +10).

Don't touch your stats or your souls (always get souls from soul items).

Don't drop yourself weapons outside of your max upgraded range (In other words, if the highest weapon you've upgraded is +2, don't give yourself a +10. Also, don't be retarded give yourself +15 or something weapons, obviously)

Do not pick up anything a player can't drop you. (Gestures, spells, key items etc.)


That's pretty much it.


>>172202065

Mules have dozens of titanite shards. That's not fucking fine. Mules are also 100% fucking unnecessary when item swap exists. It takes literally minutes to get a new character set up and most of that time is spent getting to firelink. After that it's an hour rush to pontiff for duels (and if you wanna be ballsy, you could just activate all bonfires and go there immediately, really).

That "8 weapons to +10" line is horse shit, you can be dropped +10 weapons by other people retard. They gonna ban you for trading/someone giving away shit?

>That "8 weapons to +10" line is horse shit, you can be dropped +10 weapons by other people retard. They gonna ban you for trading/someone giving away shit?
But doesnt the game track if you actually upgraded a weapon to +10 at the smith compared to a weapon received through looting?

Like, you cant item swap +10 weapons as far as i know, and upgrading them with unlimited materials sounds pretty dangerous

>>172202606
If I don't like it, it's anime.

>>172202429
This is absolutely something they did do right.
The presentation on the majority of the bosses is really well done.
Even the worse ones like Deacons are at least well done in that respect.

>>172201420
No. He was way too easy for that.

It would be the best if you could move as fluidly as you can in DaS3 and if you can roll in any direction while locked on

>>172202606
Anything that looks like something from anime (no shit, rite?), like impossible movesets, silly leaping or edgy self-stabbing.
Berserk references are not a bad thing, tho.

>>172202635

>But doesnt the game track if you actually upgraded a weapon to +10 at the smith compared to a weapon received through looting?

No. If it does, I've never gotten in trouble for it and I have ~20 +10 (or +5) weapons.

>Like, you cant item swap +10 weapons as far as i know, and upgrading them with unlimited materials sounds pretty dangerous

You can item swap to +10 with the very cheat engine guide you linked (assuming you're the dude who linked the github guide). Read the first sub-section under the "Usage explanation" section. There's just no reason to go through the trouble, since you don't get in trouble for using the no material cost scripts. I think that you're thinking back to before people realized it was titanite shards getting people banned.

>>172202606
Not that I agree with it all the time, but generally something with a lot of extra effects or otherwise incomparable agility or flashy and unrealistic movement that seems out of place among the more common weapons. People will generally be fine with crazy effects if it's for a charge-type skill or an explosion, something slow and with weight, but if you've suddenly got quick as fuck air blades flying off of your sword or after-images, people are going to call it anime.

there are a few things that get you banned. First, directly changing souls through CE, secondly, directly changing levels, and third, having more max upgrade items than the current NG status allows, in this case 8

>>172202735

Yeah, im confused. Fextralife lists Halflight, the Spear of the Church as the fourth boss, but then others say hes just the npc replacer for people playing offline so that cant be right.

Is heavy armor still a meme or does it actually do something now?
And is it worth it at all, if so?

Add whatever number you want on the end of your weapon in hex to the item ID, so if you wanted a RKSS+5, instead of "00225510", make it "0022551A".

If it weren't for the fact that the heaviest armors only shaved off about 1-2 units of weight total, in exchange for 3-4 points of absorption spread across all four physical resistances, I'd be happier.

They really do, DaS3 bosses are the best looking fights in souls/bb in terms of presentation, BB in gameplay and DeS in creativity. DaS1 doesnt stand out in any way being a mixed bag of "this is really good" and "this is awful" and DaS2 is just a lot of wasted potential and mediocrity.

This of course, not counting dlc bosses, then it's a WHOLE other story.

it's less poise efficient than gundy's and exile for sure, but it gives you just what you'd need for a greathammer anyway for less weight than either of those sets. If you were to mix and match you could probably save some vitality with other parts. Though that's just taking poise into account.

>>172203064

Use poison infusion. The infusion was buffed. You can get around 70 build up a hit. Luck isn't completely needed, but you don't have to go over 40 for the max. You can probably get by just fine with half that.

mugen says otherwise

>>172203347
Don't listen to this guy. Buffing with poison resin is much better. Poison infusion is actually trash. May work in a hollow build but that's a waste of stats since you won't be having 2 hollow weapons on hand at the same time.

>>172203064

>TIL my NG character with 18 +10 weapons is fucking soft banned.

Thanks dawg, I was wondering why I could still go online and play.

Anybody who is fucking spooked can go and get a hex->dec editor and use this guide (https://github.com/igromanru/Dark-Souls-III-Cheat-Engine-Guide#weapon-upgrades-and-infusions-represented-through-id) to just fucking drop themselves a +10 version of the weapon, then. Just make sure it actually goes to +10 and isn't one of the ones that maxes at +5.

>>172203250

The only time I've ever been warned was because I dropped a bunch of titanite slabs back in the day. I've done shit like modify my character model (while online), gave myself DLC weapons before launchdate, noclipped around while fucking around in a fight club, etc. and never been banned. And yes, that includes upgrading tons of shit to +10 without materials.

>>172203371

Don't you have to make sure it all balances out to be exactly the same, though? Like you can't take a knight and edit his stats to have 8 faith, right (since 9 is base)? I just figured it would be easier to say "don't bother" than to worry about explaining all that. Especially since Rosaria can re-spec you anyway.

WHATS BEHIND THE DOOR

Question regarding upgraded weapons and invasions

Does it matter where the weapon is?

Like, if i deposit a +10 weapon into the stash, does that still count and will block me from invading in +6 areas?

Is the patch up on Steam?

>>172203764

Its whatever your highest upgrade is, even if it's stashed.

>>172203853
what if i discard it? will that "reset" it?

>>172203764

Yes. The max level upgraded is recorded on that character. You can even drop it and let it disappear, still won't matter. The game will still know that you upgraded to +10.

>>172203783

We probably aren't going to get the patch until the DLC is getting ready to release for obvious reasons.

>>172203894
It won't.

>Executioner's Greatsword has a special effect that promotes using weapon arts in PvE, whereas otherwise its almost always better to just spam r1
>has one of the worst weapon arts in the game
It looks so cool, why couldn't it have had a useful weapon art? Warcry and unique charged R2s would have been awesome, but even just the almost usable version of Stomp would have been an improvement.
Its even hard to hit pve enemies with the spin sometimes.

>>172203764
The character is permanently marked as whatever highest upgrade level you have ever achieved on him/her. Selling, dropping, stashing, doesn't matter.

MooseTorrent made a video where he was using a Poison-Bleed build and constantly keeping up the pressure. He dies a lot in it, but mostly to meta shit or turtling. It was to test out the way the infusions work now (which make hollow-luck bleed builds obsolete, rip)

I don't think the bleed infusions have been buffed to match the resin. I've had people with bleed infused monestary scimiatars who try to infinite me and only get one bleed proc, while this guy with rouge got two and actually manage to kill me

>>172203729
All of those make sense except for walking simulator. It's clearly a jogging simulator.

>>172203346
>>172203501
I was just talking about base game, in terms of dlc bosses currently (right before TRC release) DaS3 has absolutely the worst dlc bosses with one of them being an npc fight with an add on enemy we fought 30 minutes before so we know their moveset and appearance already, rendering the whole fight moot AND the other being a 3 part fight which 2 of them are easy and one is actually a challenge, being a giant drag for 2/3rds of the fight.

DaS2 bosses have them beaten easily in everything really, presentation, gameplay, creativity (i guess they lose in music, never cared for das2 music as a whole).

DaS1 dlc bosses are my favorites, despite not being the best at anything but music, they are really good in most of them.

BB dlc bosses, while not my favorite are currently the kings in terms of overall quality outside of music (same thing as DaS2 but only for the dlc tracks).

>>172204023
>I don't think the bleed infusions have been buffed to match the resin.

Infusion is better than rouge now. What a lot of people are doing is abusing a bug to apply rouge to bleed infused weapons.

>>172203576
>Don't you have to make sure it all balances out
The number one rule of not getting bunned is don't do anything impossible. As long as your soul level is right for your stats and class then you're fine.

Yeah there was a video that found that around 25 luck was the softcap for build up give or take. But that video is outdated, inferno's tests showed that poison infusion was unchanged (but he may have just been fucking lazy about it) and...
>>172203403
>Don't listen to this guy. Buffing with poison resin is much better.
Resin was nerfed.

See why I have no idea what to do? There's also the potential that going with sharp would net me more damage while barely affecting build up at all. Since I could maybe go 20~25 luck/40 dex.

>tfw missed this gesture because beat abyss watchers and sully first try without summoning Gotthard

Are there any other weapons that have the Greataxe/BKGreataxe warcry R2s?

>people talking about being BUNN'd for cheating
oh dang, I soul duped a bunch of characters a while ago. I just came back, haven't gotten yet.

is there a new wave coming I should be aware of?

also

How do I ask the DLC when it comes out tomorrow??? I legit have no idea.

>>172207731
5-6pmEST. About 14 hours from now

GREAT CLUB

it is fucking strong especially after the greathammer buff, the thing shits damage and hyper armors for days, the only downside is that your superior r2 of rollcatching gets replaced with autistic flailing when you use warcry.

>going through Follower Forest with a greatbow and Simple off-hand
You know, this actually sort of makes the area tolerable. Instead of being ambushed around every single corner by a bunch of them, I just slowly stalk the Followers and drop them with 900 damage headshots. It's also nice for killing the torch-wielders before they scream and call their buddies in on me.

I feel like I wrote this like a jackass
I only beat pontiff first try because my first run was with pyro and he eats shit with vestiges like nothing

Anyways if I get summoned to fight pointy hats/pontiff and the host summons gotthard do I get the gesture too?

bad news for you bud, Dragonslayer armor's armor is ultra-heavy smough/havel-class. it comes in at 48 units flat

>>172207731
Bans aren't a big deal as long as you aren't retarded. And anyway, the last huge ban wave caught out pretty much everyone and was quietly rolled back a few weeks later after Bamco learned that virtually every single community content creator got banned for using camera mods and item swapping to gear up new characters.

I love that area if not for cosplaying a crazy samurai fighting in the forests of sengoku era japan

Nope, not how it works. You have to be the one summoning the phantom.

>gotthard at watchers/pontiff
>heysel at watchers
>pale shade at watchers/pontiff/cindy

Heysel is the tricky one. If you miss the other two it's kind of your own fault, since you seem to know they give you the gesture.

so are ultras still too slow?

do they have meta potential?

why isn't ledo's greathammer more accurately named "Black Knight Greathammer"?

>>172206691
Yes. If your passworded summon is in another region you won't see their sign.

Do ultra heavy sets like Smough and Havel actually have any real benefit over "regular" heavy armor?

>>172208415
they're the best poise:weight in-game and have, since the patch, had their abs:weight improve by about ~15%

What's everyone's favourite cosplay build they've done or seen?

>>172208506
Oh, so "tank" builds actually work now without gimping your damage too hard?

>>172208560

I liked that Mozgus one someone posted here

All it needed was a book like the Spiked Mace bitches wield and it would have been good enough (Deacons Robes are the wrong color, but that's alright).

>>172208224
According to one of the data miners, the total weight should have come up to around 35 or 36, and that's the number that the build is built around

And if it isn't, well, then I guess I'll just tweak it for fat-rolling at 100% and pump the stats elsewhere.

I had someone invade me as SoC.
He used WoG to signify the changes in weapons and fire-buffed all of them, and he swapped between the 4 throughout the fight. He also somehow had the stats to cast all of the magic/pyro/miracles that the boss has.
It was pretty cool to see, honestly.

3MB, 640x360px

l2r2 blocks literally all damage, even fire, and only costs fp when used, not when blocking attacks. but it does block more than normal if used with no fp. the snakeman was being an ass about his firespit, but gave me a chance to show the little recovery frames, you can roll immediately. i have no idea why I stopped blocking the second to last time, my finger must've twitched. also, are the manserpents supposed to bypass block? because if they are, this is too damn good, even with no mobility, expect to be memed on by squads.

>>172208683
Hadn't seen it but that sounds pretty cool, I wish we could have had the book as some sort of casting device for all sorts of builds and fashion
Im a basic bitch and enjoy NPC or boss ones, Ornstein probably being my favourite

>>172208341
I only know Gotthard gives it since I was checking the wiki. Had no idea Londor pale shade does too, so that's another one I missed, thanks for the info


>Have to fail Sirris' questine, missing out on Creighton's set, the dragonslayer axe and a few other things just for Heisel's gesture (you don't even have to fight her once and her gear just appears at rosaria's chamber later on too)

Well that sucks

>>172208873
How are you supposed to get past an invader doing this in a doorway?

>>172208560
I enjoyed a Dio with dark hand cosplay

>>172208623
raw vig-vitgouge has been viable since launch

why don't you try 40/50/40/40/10. if you'd like to use low-investment Dex weapons or 2shield, just use stat rings

it's also a great build for 2ugs

>>172208962
Dung pies would probably work just fine.

>>172208805
Oh shit I've never seen a good SoC or proper one at all as far as I remember

>>172208873
What are their attacks like?

>>172209000
or scythes and other things that go through shield.

>>172208962
You don't get past it because DS3 invasions can't ever be fun, hope that helps

>>172208962
Stamina break.

>>172208873
What is even the practical application of these?

>>172208873
Interesting. Can you test whether Magic Shield works during the lockdown, resulting in less stamina loss while blocking attacks?

>>172208921

It was

Deacons Robes
Cleric Hat
Divine Pillars of Light
and a face with a square look and wide nose

>>172209163
You can block stuff? what do you think. Are you thinking in terms of competitive pvp again anon? God dammit

>>172209163
Summon a bunch of phantoms and box a boss in.
