Is the aquamarine dagger a good replacement for the csr on a 60 int/18 dex build? Is it as good asits DaS2 counterpart?

I can't get Midir out of my mind, he's so perfect.

Favourite DLC boss to co-op?

Gael is pretty fun if hard as fuck.

Spears is fun too, but I feel bad for ganking spear invaders.

anyone up for champ tender & wolf?

>>172484543
>slams around like a fucking child when he gets his nose booped
What do you think?

>>172484648
I need to read his dialogue again, anyone has it ?

>>172485721

gael is honestly piss easy, the only thing he has going for him is that his cape punishes people with poor dodge timing, otherwise his combo is 100% predictable

as a dedicated spearfag, spearfags deserve to be ganked. most are complete faggots. then again when i see more than one person in the boss room I swap out my ghru spear for a real weapon.

demon princes is my favourite coop boss because his second phase has a ton of flashy cool moves.

>>172486326
princes is awful bc every host is stuck at their casul filter, so they summon 4 phantoms and the boss takes years. I actually like the challenge and dragging on of it, but not when im trying to farm embers

>>172486241
Managed to find a video with his dialogue.
"Hark ! They brought thee here, did they not ?"
"Dost thou the gods serve? Or merely that role affect?"
If you answer "I serve the gods":
"Laughs, A lie, a wretched lie! How wouldst one such as thee do service to the gods?"
"They scheme is known to me, I know what it is thou desirest"
"...The dark soul, no?"
"Why else wouldst one deign to visit this dung heap?"
"Give rest to they falsity, I would be an ally to thee."
"If it is the dark soul thou desirest..."
"Then seek Filianore's church, at the base of the cliff"
"There, wilt thou the sleeping Princess waken"
"...Her slumber is a deceit..."
"A lid covering an overgrown privy: a prop to keep thee from the dark soul of thine desire"
"Now, yarely to Filianore's church at the base of the cliff, to rouse the sleeping Princess"
"If thou yet the dark soul desirest..."

I have no idea if he has more dialogue at any point or if he vanishes immediately.

>>172484340
Yoooo Had anyone else used a plunging attack on the ring city heralds?


Now this is how plunging attacks should have always been since ds1

>>172485802
Eh i can just let me find the next bonfire

>>172486847
He has those lines if you say you're merely pretending to serve the gods:
"Yes, yes, of course. How wouldst one such as thee do service to the gods?
I have intimate knowledge of thy kind. I know thy want."

And those bits:
"If thou'rt yet human, the urge will soon begin to swell.
To curse the gods, and bring ruin upon this accursed heap of dung.
Now, yarely to Filianore's church at the base of the cliff, to rouse the sleeping Princess.
If thou yet the dark soul desirest."

>Going through the DLC again
>both times I've faced a retard in the spear fight

Also what happens if you kill judicator argo before he summons? On my first playthrough I didn't attack him and he kinda keeled over when he summoned the guy in, when I tried to kill him this time he just got the summon in- if you kill him fast enough i'm assuming it doesn't matter right? you'll still have to face a spear

Why do a lot of you fags hate continuity so much? One of the main criticisms of Dark Souls 3 is
>MEMBER X?? REEEE
What kind of retards seriously hate continuity like this? Dark Souls 2 was almost completely independent of Dark Souls 1 lore and nobody gives a flying fuck about Lothric or the literally who lore of that shit because it was shit.

>>172489424
Killing him quickly doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. Other than a small line of dialogue where he urges the spears to come faster.

>>172487356
Just send a line when you're there.

So how does the new covenant work? Will it break if I go and do the fight myself?

What level should I go for?

I'm 120 right now, don't really feel like I need to go much higher, but I suppose I could use more stamina or whatever.

>>172489534
>Lothric
Drangleic* i mean

>>172489743
120 is pvp meta, though some purists will tell you it's 99. If you don't care about pvp go as high as you like.

>retard throws out a thousand random parries with his caestus

>>172489534
it's not continuity because it doesn't explain anything

>>172490118
What do you mean it doesn't explain anything? Anything related to DaS1 usually has some plot relevance.

I'm level 150, how fun would a pure faith or magic build be? I really just wanna one shot people in arena or invasions.

>>172491267

i fell for this meme, too. it's going to get stale very quickly.

>>172491517
Man, but pure melee is getting boring too.

>>172491267
at that soul level go 45 45 int faith and just use whatever sorcery and miracles you want with crystal chime. Alternatively if you are going for 60 int or faith get your dex to 39 so you don't have to wear sage ring. Really though there is only a handful of sorceries that are useful in duels. It is fun in invasions though. Friedes scythe and MLGS if you are a scrub.

>>172492401
for brawls definitively go 45 int 45 faith I think and use Onyx blade 1 handed with crystal soul spears or chaos bed vestiges. destroys with the reach.

So uh, any word on that defense nerf for the DLC bosses? Not that I uh, mind doing a third of the damage I normally do and dying in one-to-two hits from nearly every attack they do or anything.

I have been stuck on NG+7 gael for nearly 11 hours now and have gotten killed at phase three every time after a solid 20 minutes of chipping him down very very slowly

anyone wanna bro-op? drop signs by snowy mountain pass (AoA ofcousre) pass dsg, on pc

Is there any fight more stupid and infuriating than Gravetender.

>>172492984
If you stick close to him he'll never do his laser attacks - it kept 1-shotting me when I was fighting him, so it's easier to just never let him do it in the first place.

I'm a bit cautious to co-op Midir, mostly because I'm assuming that hosts are going to die quick. Might give it a go after the Demon Princes though, they're turning out to be a lot more fun to co-op than I thought they would be.

>>172493583
>infuriating
lolwhat?

It's on par with Crystal Sage and Deacons as the easiest bosses in the game.

>>172484340
From the pastebin:
>Spear of the Church covenant: Beat Midir for real (in order to actually participate in the covenant, do this before touching Filianore's egg)

This is still wrong. I beat Midir after doing everything else there was to do, the covenant dropped, and I've currently farmed 31 spears and gotten both covenant rewards.

>>172493397

>NG+7
>bitching about hp and defense

what did these retarded ng+ people mean by this?

>>172494081
what are the rewards?

i never get fucking summoned

>>172494384
At the start you have the ritual spear fragment. At 10 spears you get a thingy which makes the spears you summon stronger. At 30 spears you get the godly spear fragment, which is even stronger.

>>172494253
The ringed city bosses are the only ones who are like this though. Even Nameless King takes reasonable damage from anything that isn't a dagger.

>>172494639

did you consider that they didnt want people to blow through what is essentially lvl 80-120 content, and you're way past the point of reasonably expecting any sort of an easy fight? nameless king can be fought before you even get to the dragonslayer armour, he's not a very tanky boss.

>>172494905
By this metric none of the bosses are tanky. I can't think of a boss that just doesn't care about being hit like the ones here do. And while I do realize they wanted to make them harder so people do breeze past them but god fucking damn .

>>172494905
dude

no boss in the base game is nearly as tanky as any of these fights

>>172495116
Don't you want the bosses in the hardest NG+ in the final dlc of the series to be a test of both skill and patience? Dark Souls has always been a timing simulator (with spacing elements), and that has been taken to its extreme with TRC.

If you're gonna play on NG7, you should be worthy of it.

Is it possible to legitimately acquire the Harald Legion headpiece?

>>172495187
>dude, the boss in the undead settlement is nowhere NEAR as tanky as the soul of cinder

>>172495427
There is no headpiece.

>>172494253
You have never played NG+7 right? Manus, Fume and Orphan have perfectly fair stats for that and can die fast if you made a good build without being an overleveled fuck.

Let's shorten it to RPG, yeah?

What's up with this Angel circling the sky, howling and gurgling, at the very first Dreg Heap bonfire. I've cleared the whole DLC, but I don't remember this one being here and I don't remember seeing any other hosts.

Can anyone suggest a decent faith build for PvE or coop healing? A good friend of mine is going to try the game, and I want to be able to help him until he gets his grips. He's pretty bad at souls games, but I'm tired of playing games he likes so I sold him on the DLC.

Unrelated but does anyone expect them to get rid of the Kiln warp point to Dreg Heap in the first flame edition? It feels like they dont need two warp points if they can be sure people bought both DLCs.

It's really good, a direct upgrade of the WKH. You get 599 2H AR with 66 str and heavy infusion. What keeps it from being as ridiculous as some of the other DLC weapons is the fact that maintaining stance consumes stamina, weapons like the RK SS can just stand there like a menacing flytrap forever.

I prefer PC for DS3 just because I have a good rig I spent a lot of time saving up for, but both run good on PS4.

I was surprised by how good BB looks on a console, and yet it is very stable except in the 1-2 most hectic moments you'll have in a playthrough. Not really game breaking but it does some minor, stuttering I guess you'd call it?

Very acceptable comparably.

I need a new build. I want to try a dex/int build.

No but seriously I can remember his dialogue now that he's been mentioned and I remember him but easily forgotten is damn right I almost missed him if I hadn't been looking for secrets as I do in Souls.
Like he really is that forgettable, especially with that fucking firing range right behind him and I'm wondering if From did it on purpose.

A dark built with decent strength (20-25) but 40/40 int/faith (remember dark shit benefits from catalyst that scale from both) can be really good, the faith and Int scaling affect both dark and phys damage. It's also buffable.

Currently using it on my Faith caster, 25 str, 12 int (for the witches locks) and 60 faith. Has 545 AR and 780ish when I use dark blade on it.

I found an item im the swamp but can't find it in my inventory.

It's one of the best weapons in the dlc and probs the game, that guy was just a retard. Has regular halberd r1, but the r2 is amazing, super great for roll catching. The weapon are is just luck shit, though it seems more likely to give the beneficial ones, and the bomb is easy to dodge yourself.

>>172501253
Was the dark sword ever even truly good? I thought the whole deal with it was straightswords are overly good in general and someone perpetuated the idea that the dark sword was extra great and every retard worried about having a good weapon flocked to it.

exile has shit reach compared to the rest of them and isn't worth using alongside other weapons anymore since it banks off of hitting 99 str

Poke R2's do that, and it definitely feels better with them. Not to mention backpedaling and poking, which completely fucks certain short weapons. I've killed a lot of DSA twinks with them. The stance weaponart L2R2 is pretty good too if you have a weaponart shield. Not who you're replying to though. RK SS blows the rest out of the water right now anyway.

If Ringed City really is set far in the future, at the "end of time" per se, then Lapp is likely a reference to how Patches has been in a ton of FROM's games both set in the past and future and presumably until FROM stops making games. Really makes you think.

No, i dont think that. You literally assumed all of this on me.
I did it at sl 80 and was hoping that summon ranges for the boss were different to other things like summoning and invasions, as we get buffed when were in the boss room.
Its a new mechanic, and I assumed something thats not directly stated in the game or anywhere else, for that matter.

Get off your high horse, my god.

Hmmm, they could have done a rival covenant thing, trying to take control of the supply of hosts to protect in order to maximize output of rewards. You could invade each other and you'd get special gang sign taunts and color coded armour. Maybe that's too cynical even for an Undead.

So I haven't touched DS3 in almost a year but am thinking about making a new character for the DLC. Is SL90 a good level for non-PVP or will I still attract the high level tryhards?

Don't let anyone meme you my friend, Miracles are very SLS and Lightning Arrow are really good, and Lightning Storm is fantastic in group pvp.

That being said, depends on your SL cap, 120 or 140, but Dex is a must (at around 30-35) with the last 10 to 5 points being negligible if your good enough with timing. Depending what level your leaving Faith at, you can lightning infuse a bunch of weapons to get good Lightning damage, like the Long sword or Lothric Weapons. If you want to use buffs instead of raw damage, you can use weapons like Dragon slayers axe with Lightning blade.

>>172502436

For the Right build, it is a Faith weapon primarily, despite the D scaling over Str's C, but Faith ups not only the Dark Damage but also the Physical, at its buffable but not infuseable, so it works best if you can Dark Blade it.

Because it's almost entirely gold with a touch of black. It's entirely metallic where the hood conflicts with the rest of the design. The only reason Lorian's leggings look good is because the metallic gold matches the chests that they're used with.

>>172502993
the painter girl needs the dark soul to finish her painting. this is kind of a big deal, since the painting is supposed to be the next world

it's also kind of a big ask, since the dark soul was divided up amongst all the pygmies, including their descendants. so gael goes off to eat everything and put the dark soul back together, "knowing that he was no Champion, and the dark soul would probably ruin him."

>>172502443
I imagine it's because not everyone has jumped into the dlc yet.

>>172502993
He made you follow him, and guided you. He freed the painted world from Freide's control (she chose to rot over having a flame), he then made himself the vessel for the a new dark soul (the original was burned to make the very first flame, think at least) and you are meant to kill him to then draw the blood of the dark soul from him, and with that blood, the painter can make a new world, like how she used Ariendel's blood.

109 at the moment. I somehow got paired up with some guy who was on NG+ 5 and we ended up beating him.

>>172503338
I am. Switched back to my tried and true straightsword so I could use a shield. Mid-fight squats are the only proper squats.

Seems like a joke tying the series back to Berserk again. Pottery.

Also contains ball-less, girl-on-girl futa for most of it. Very good, regardless.

>Giant Door Shields with Iron Flesh
Who else here /truetank/? Nobody can trade with me without taking like 600 damage from an L1-L1, and if they back away I can chase them with the choo choo L2.

The what?

>>172503479
Yes, why?

Coolest weapon in all of Soulsborne coming through

>only 4 boss fight, 2 multiphase
>no serpents
>no abyss dragon
>no going into the new painting
I'm disappointed.

So greatclub is basically no more, it's one good attack is now present on a much better weapon

top fucking kek

>>172503438
Yeah I already found it. What the fuck are these animations.

so basically:

>the entire world is a dream of ages past
>filianore sleeps to maintain the memory
>in reality the world had ended an unknowable time in the past, and the desert hellscape is the present that you, for the entire game, exist in.
>when you wake her you shatter the false memory, recognizing the gaze of the dead woman in front of you, and are jettisoned back to reality.
>you had actually existed within the hellscape the entire time, and were just remembering through a dream
>when you return to gael and he states "you're still here" he's not talking about thousands of years, but whatever period of time had passed since you wandered off to the memory of ages past

deepest lore.

>>172503532
i thought i recognized the animation and artstyle once i watched it in motion for a while

>>just pulls out a crossbow

His 3rd Phase jumping crossbow attack is cool, though.

He comes down on you and sprays you with bolts.

He's sorta turning into some Abyss abomination too, really. His cape is sprouting Abyssal pox or similar.

>Almost beat the Demon Prince on my first try.

is the harald armor only the chestpiece or are there other parts

Pure sex
They're so good that I'm actually getting retroactively upset over how shit WA's were in the base game on anything but a handful of weapons
