/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

old monk was a mistake

I have a feeling Miyazaki read Uzumaki sometime during the development process of this DLC.

old monk was a masterpiece

Just beat the DLC. Took me about 7 hours (some of which was pvp), and I didn't summon once.

Solid 8/10 for me. Not as good as ToH, but at least right now I'm confident in saying that gameplay-wise it's easily the second best DLC From has done so far. The music and presentation are just fantastic as well.
It's a damn shame about the way it ends, but for me that doesn't drag the gameplay down.
I also thought it was extremely fitting that Patches is the only one to make it with us to the very end, and I thought his final betrayal and monologue was a great send off, especially considering that ultimately he got the last laugh. Having the Miyazaki analogue be with the player right until end of the series was a good decision.

Truth be told, I had fun, /dsg/. I'll miss you guys if this general ever dies.

Thanks for reading my blog post

I never thought you can make a fight against an old bearded man so cool.

>>172352306

Not even. I mean the boss fight with him was fun, but like others said, he felt like the Artorias of the DLC as in the penultimate boss. It just doesn't feel right. Like something was missing.

What are the motivations of the pygmies (if any)? Are they for or against the Dark Age? If they're for, they sure don't seem to be doing much about it given they seem quite content to be tucked away in the city.

Is it still canon that consuming hueg souls makes you hueg?

>>172352270
It's not that far to turn the thing back off once you get the Old King's Antechamber bonfire. Just get past the fireball room gauntlet, run past some rats, run past the Basilisks, 1v1 the Black K***ht and then you just have some skeletons in your way.

It's a total of perhaps 3 enemies you absolutely have to fight (you can maybe skip the Black K***ht as well if you bait him to the other side of the bridge and then book it).

How?

>>172352407

Yeah, I think they patched it in. Before only the boss arena was on fire.

So when you and Gael are fighting over the Dark Soul at the very edge of both time and space, would there theoretically be version of yourself and the firekeeper sitting around at wherever the Kiln happened to be upon the Dreg Heap's collapse, watching your past self fight?

The first one you can actually snipe from before the drop down. You see a beacon of light around him when he summons, that tells you that he's the source of your problems.

The second one isn't until you get near the bonfire before the area boss, so you have to put up with that angel until the end. The third one is on the far left side of the poison swamp, at the top of some roots and rooftops (you can get a clear shot at him with arrows too)

>story in video games

My only major complaint with TRC is that there's nothing after Gael
Why do they even give you the dark blood if you don't actually get anything once you give it to the painter
I was honestly expecting one more boss to really end the game with a bang, since Gael didn't quite feel like the end, but I guess not

>>172352982

Why would you think any of these things would happen? Have you not learned by now how the series works?

>>172353059
I'm surprised you didn't realize by the time he started telling you about a treasure he convienantly didn't take for himself.

>>172352956
No, because one we've established that you're not actually at the end of time during that, and two because you are the instance of yourself that exists at the end of time from your time period.

>>172352306
Gael's buildup and the fight were great, but it doesn't feel like a proper "definitely final content of Souls series going out with a bang" ending. Nowhere near, say Soul of Cinder fight, the several ending cutscenes and credits roll music.

Painter should've given us some more closure considering how central of a character she was, but its just few lines of dialog amounting to simple thanks and her painting stays just as vague as it was when AoA was first announced. That is unless people find out it unlocks some super secret mindblowing shit.

>>172352731
Yeah, but two of the enemies you have to fight are those floaty shotel bastard skeletons. There is no other enemy in the game I have as much trouble with as those, their moves just completely throw me off.

>>172352982
>so many lose ends never tied up
>so many questions unanswered

making sequels in the first place was a mistake

>>172352052
after you kill Gael and give the painter the dark blood, is there anything else or is that the whole DLC?

>>172352867
>First invader didn't render in and was invisible
yeah, that was great

They didn't have enough time to scrub their DLC update of the cut DLC content. There's not going to be anything mindblowing in this one.

>Isn't gael supposed to have a third phase?
He does, the third phase just doesn't have its own opening cutscene like the second one does. Third phase starts and his moveset changes when he blows up for the first time.

It's actually a crime that it took until the last DLC for From to put a weapon as fun as the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords in the game

Why'd they have to give the worst boss the best theme?

Anybody else notice that they only get summoned by warriors? I never get summoned by mages or clerics

>>172352731
I dont even 1v1 the knight, i just sit at the corner of the bridge and wait for him to attack, he falls down and has to run back up

Same. Looks like she really did have nothing. Bravo From.

>>172353073
Yeah happened to me too
Also now there is angel patrolling in that area that doesn't attack unless you shoot it
I killed it with a bow, it doesn't respawn until you hit the bonfire, you also get nothing from it

Ok listen the fuck up, here's THE QUESTIONS for you.
What lore questions did this dlc answer?
We got told nothing new about the dark soul, or am i retarded? Gael just got fukked by it, so we man-moded this shit, and allowed the pale girl to draw a nwe world. That's it? That's the grand closure?

Also, does ending change (please for the love of god dont tell me how it changes, just yes/no is enough) and if so - which one of 3?

>>172352982

This is better than some ridiculous fanservice ending where you fight Dark Gwyn the lord of the shadow cinder or some bullshit.

That said, i do think that Gael shouldn't have been the final boss, something else should've been the final boss, i don't know what though.

Also, that they can be staggered pretty hard with a UGS.

So I'm assuming Gael is the end? please don't tell me I have to take the blood to Ariandel, I skipped that dlc on this character.

There's a point where I watched Gael fly over me in a sea of lightning and fire spraying light bolts out of his repeater bow I realized I wanted to win the fight less than I wanted to just take screenshots. Say what you will about the gameplay, that boss fight is beautiful

You only level that if you plan on using great weapons and heavy armor. Stacking Havel's +2 and FaP +2 or +3 once you beat the DLC with around 11-15 Vit is usually enough.

Put Endurance to 40, and level Str/Dex if you're melee or Att/Fai/Int if you're a caster.

Egg was made to house the dark soul to prevent the age of dark from properly overwhelming the age of fire, gael got there and smashed it, ate it, you show up and what you do doesn't change anything, you're just being brought up to speed so to speak, leaving the past of the ringed city and seeing what gael has wrought in the future through freeing the dark soul. Remnants of the age of fire immediately collapse, unable to hold their own any longer against darkness, leading to the ashen wastes of the present.

Or maybe something similar to that

Mad it onto second phase first try with 3 estus but I don't know if I can be bothered, it'l just be like Friede, tediously going through parts of the fight you have down just to get at the part you are having trouble with, this genuinely feels like they are running out of ideas, just mixing up phases and multi bosses in different combinations and all it's seeming to do is waste the players time.

Nope, nothing. I was confused after Gael because I thought there was something else after.

DLC is 6/10, maybe 7/10.
Shit-tier bosses, no closure, alright weapons. Size-wise it's almost the same asariandel, at least there are more then 1 and a half bosses.

I don't get their 'ariandel was so shit cause we focused on ringed city" excuses tho.

That actually makes me mad. Why include the statue if we're not getting anything else about the serpents? This is just being wilfully malicious at this point.

No one is praising it as good design, but they aren't going to hold your hand, you have to fight the boss all the way through. That's just how it is.

The solution is to literally get good. The boss isn't that hard. You shouldn't be going through so much Estus in the first phase, that's your own problem.

oh yeah dude sorry we didn't get to fight Dark Sun Gwyn or The Dark Soul or Primordial Serpents: the obnoxious hydra boss you never asked for but now with more annoying teeth clacking, or whatever other meme suggestions reddit had came up with

Sorry if you don't like Lobos.
Look at the health bar and where the damage number would usually show up
Really makes you think though, huh?

Is that actually necessary?

I honestly enjoyed everything, but I don't think I'm gud enough to go through this DLC with a character that isn't my 40/40 Fake Ornstein cosplay. And I have no idea how the hell other people are handling it on higher NG cycles.

There is fanart for some urban soulsesque game.

I personally wouldn't mind that.

His third phase starts when he uses his fireball attack. There's no cutscene for that one.

because people will still give money to them even if they don't make a satisfying game.
I am surprised by how they can keep making a killing with dark souls when its the third time the ending doesn't even satisfy anyone.
what probably keeps from on the market are normies that won't even finish the game and just go for the lmao ebin le hard game xddd

Wasted Potential is far worse than none at all.

demon prince arena is literally DaS1 firelink
also you can see Lothric (kingdom) and ruined Anor Londo/Lordran in the ending cutscene/Gael's arena if you haven't been paying attention

Thanks friendos

so I gave the painting girl the blood of the dark soul, is that really all there is to it? Do I have to do anything else?
How do you advance Lapp's storyline? He just gave me a titanite slab and fucked off

> Plot got even more convoluted and weird.

I'm just glad they aren't making BB2, otherwise they would surely fuck that story up as well.

>>172355362
You can plunging attack the fat knights. There a bonfire directly to the right in the swamp as well.

>>172355569
When he blows up for the first time his moveset gets upgraded (f.ex. the lightning strikes or using his machine gun crossbow during jumping attacks), I don't remember whether the music changes as well. It doesn't have its own dedicated cutscene like the first-second phase change does.

>>172355604
>but the fact that he wasn't mentioned at all is a little weird.

"So easily forgotten."

>>172355362
The next bonfire is to right, along some stairs. Mind the locusts though.

>>172355596

Password and SL?

>>172355628
So if Gael isn't casting the storm, what is happening? Is the universe shitting itself because fire is finally dying off or something?

>someone invades me in the swamp
>pop a seed
>use a young white branch and hide at the bonfire
>can hear how he gets arrowed to death

Serves you right.

That said, are judicators able to hurt invaders without a seed too?

>>172355663
Yeah, I feel as though a futuristic setting would allow them to implement some really unique and interesting fighting styles, should they put their mind and imagination to it.

Doors are genuinely good. People can't figure out how to get through them. Running L1 blocks while attacking and you can transition right into the block stance after it.

>>172355402
On the first dragon path, run to the right where one of those hollow shits is hiding in a cave. Wait for the dragon to breathe fire and then sprint for your life up the hill. He won't breathe fire on the lower ledge so if you can't make it all the way up drop down there. For the second encounter, run to the left, wait for him to finish breathing fire again, then run underneath him to bait melee attacks and attack his head til he falls off.

...Why the fuck would the ending matter? People don't play video games solely for the ending. Did you read what you typed?
