>>172573419
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine after

I just invaded a guy with two phantoms. Both the host and one of the phantoms had the meme dual wield greatsword and the other phantom had rosarias scythe.

I never know people like that actually existed in real life

>>172573374

>>172573680
Run along the righthand side, there'll be an alcove you can hide in with some fat machete guys in it. At the back right corner of the swamp you'll see a root you can go up, follow it up and you should come across a thrall with a poison-resin'd flamberge. Look directly behind you and go onto the wooden roofs, the third angel's balls are over there. Once you smash them the swamp is just a pit full of loot plus a hot pyromancer.

Alright, I'm sick of this.

Midir is an awful bossfight.
Every single time I attempt him I can manage to get him down to less than half with Pestilent Mercury and a phantom or two... But every time Midir pulls some bullshit and either one-shots me, or two-shots me.

So, I'm asking for one of you beautiful bastards with Cheat Engine or whatever to help me kill that scaly son of a bitch dead.
Just one-shot his shit.

Place your sign(s) down at the hole to the bossfight.

What are the chances of me getting DING DONG BANNU'd if I change my stats but maintain the same soul level?

does anyone have ledo's greathammer who doesn't need it on ps4? i've already killed all the bosses so he can't invade me

>>172574495
I'm with you 100%
Absolutely fuck this boss.
Remember when hard bosses didn't have 10,000,000 health to balance out how they were hard and could kill you in one hit.

>>172574476
Ah, I see. Weight won't let me do that, so I didn't even consider it.

>>172574185
That's wrong.
As long as you cross the 3rd bonfire after he tells you about the treasure, he'll give it to you.

Is the Cathedral Knight UGS still shit?
What's a good UGS for a pure STR build?

So what are the best and most practical miracles, sorceries, and pyromancies?

>>172574743

Have you tried it? Sometimes NPC invasions work even if the boss is dead.

CEfags, do you launch the game with your internet disconnected, or do you just use the option that sets the default to launch the game in offline mode? I've heard (anecdotaly) that even in "offline mode" the game still has savegame checks performed by calling back to the server, so it's safer to just totally disconnect.

>>172574254

Yeah it's fucked.
Although it might not be a Hard Reset, rather it's more like Gael sorta brought on the End of the World. But basically Age of Gray 2.0/Age of Ash.

The natural forces in the world seem to have been fucked over by Gwyn and his seal (Which is the Dark Sign, apparently.)
So, as a result apparently because of Gwyn's actions a true Age of Dark can't happen anymore.

>>172574843
Greatsword gets the best AR.
Cathedral UGS is good now in terms of damage. It has the advantage of being relatively light for a UGS and having lower stamina costs than those with competing AR. But it's short, and that's a big downside.

>>172574959
i'm at the area now and there's no sign of him

BB > DS1 > DS3 > SOTFS > DeS > DS2

>>172575137
Nah
Midir is an objectively badly designed boss fight
He's a literal bullet sponge, he's the hardest boss in the game but in a bad way
Bosses like Nameless King, Sister Freide and Gael, now these are bosses that are really hard but in a good way

>>172575137

>>172575748
Any boss that takes upwards of 8 minutes to kill and carries instantkill potential will always be hard. The combination of a tediously long runtime that makes players prone to lose focus as they get bored with it and extremely high damage when you make a mistake because you lost focus means that even the best players will die to these faggots a year from now.

It's sort of like how nobody laughs when somebody asks for help on Ancient Dragon. You can't really be smug about repeating a simple task without error for several consecutive minutes or judge someone harshly for not being patient enough to perform said repetitive task with consistency.

You'll know when he staggers.
he rears up and then slumps down like he does on the bridge (of you managed to do that)

Then you just go up to his head and boop.
Not a garuntee'd kill at that point though, he usually has a few hits left in him.

>>172576410
Patches is the furtive pygmy and he is above your wordly wants.

It's not that Midir is overly hard.
He just has too much health and the things that he does to instantly kill you don't have a clear visual read for dodging.
It's tedious and irritating.
I've tried him twice and I already give up.
Those two attempts were like 15 minutes each.

He's like all the worst things of a Souls boss combined into one piece of shit dragon, get over it.
Before this DLC came out, DS3 was the only Souls game with zero flawed boss fights, now this piece of shit dragon ruined that.

It's a buff that gives you a huge amount of poise and damage resistance for a very short window.
For small weapons it's like 2 seconds.
For greathammers it's like 6 seconds.
Crucifix and Dragon Greatshield can also trigger it with their weaponarts

Frayed Blade. Haven't played with many of the weapons, thugh. Was hyped for War Banner but apart from the WA, it's meh. Great for fashion though.

Really like the Antiquated Plain Garb and the gloves from it. It's a rogue-ish look that isn't black.

Midir because lazors. Gael can be hard and fun at the same time.

>area
The streets of the Ringed City. The alleys and stairway from Shira's room to the swamp were very reminiscent of BB, the flora gave the gardens a livelier atmosphere. Wouldn't mind a game mostly spent on a city like it, desu.

It's still terrible, anyone who's paying attention will just hit you once and then leave before you can capitalize on it. It only works against people who just blindly mash assuming you'll be stunned, or weapons so crazy slow they're a free win anyways.

I don't really use them, I just wanted to try them out. I kinda wish they didn't suck but on the other hand I don't want to invalidate darts.

Goddamn it. I literally can't beat Midir. I've tried 13 times (4 of that 13 with phantoms) and I can only get maybe a fifth of his HP down. I've been trying for an hour and s half now. I'm fucking done. Is this guy easier on NG? Because I'm on NG+++.

Holy shit anons you were completely right on pestilent mercury for Midir (at least on NG, I assume for NG+++ and beyond too). Soul Level 40 managed to clear him easily even though I had to respec twice. If they nerf this boss in ANY fashion it would honestly be a disservice. On a side note, are there any spears of the church players I'm gonna be able to fight for the bossfight at my soul level?

>>172577632

He's easier on NG but it's the same basic problem.
He can still kill you in one hit, he still has a mountain of health.

The best thing about mercury is that it ignores defenses, so the defense scaling on midir in NG+'s doesn't matter. His HP pool gets bigger but that's not as much of an issue as the defense boost

>>172577758

>The boss is perfectly balanced if you just use this one spell

I beat him without cheesing but I wouldn't put it that way.

The dual shields are fucking ridiculous.

They literally hard counter all str/slow weapons. Like, you cannot damage them at all, or guard break if they have 40 END. Not even close.

This is fucking DELICIOUS. But also fucked, because STR weapons were already up shit creek against fast spammy stuff anyway.

So what's the comprehensive list of twink-capable weapons? So far I have

Mail Breaker (Riposte with Bundles)

Astora Straight Sword (Buff)
Irithyll Straight Sword
Gotthard Twinswords (Buff)

Drakeblood Greatsword (Buff with Magic)

Astora Greatsword (Buff)

Sellsword Twinblades (Buff)
Warden Twinblades (Buff with Bleed)
Carthus Curved Sword [still op]

Exile Greatsword (Buff) [if you can manage]

Estoc (Buff)
Rapier (Buff) [if you can't use Estoc]
Crow Quills [if you must]

Dragonslayer's Axe (Buff with lightning)
Thrall Axe (Buff) [very light, very good WA]

Heysel Pick [with the right stats this will dumpster people]

<any fist weapon for parrying/stunlock>
Dark Hand [for very low SL]

Partizan (Buff) [if you have to use a spear, use this]

Lucerne (Buff)
Red Hilted Halberd (Buff) [use Perseverance]

Is there anything else people can think of?

No Frigid Outskirts is the easiest area in any souls game especially on NG+. DSII is the hex souls game. Climax exists, just let go. A single great resonant soul + climax at max stregnth will kill a horse provided you fully stack damage (Domino mask + Blue Dagger + Abyss Seal + Dark Clutch + Dark Chime of Want +5) Soul Memory blows but just let loose for once and enjoy the ease of being a hexer for this area.

>>172577412
Strange because AoA was much better in this aspect where not every mob/boss had a ton of hp+defenses against everything.

>>172577913
Do you mean upgrading str and dex for a quality build or literally EVERY stat the same? If so you best respec or restart cause you fucked up.

Anyway, the 4 main specs for actually using different weapons and spells are

Strength
Dexterity
Intelligence
Faith

These can overlap, but trying to be a jack of all trades with absolutely everything will leave you underpowered and not all that versatile.

>>172577913

Try to not level up more than one or two offensive stats (str, dex, fth, int).

Is there any way to make hex/dark magic builds work in this game? I've been running 40/40 int/faith and honestly not feeling it anymore now that I've gotten to Midir. From really didn't make it possible to try and optimize anyone who wanted to do a pure dark magic or pure mage build.

Any suggestions? At this point I'm thinking about just making my build a dex/int type with minimal faith to use some of the dark miracles [though honestly the only viable one for both PvE and PvP I find is Dorhys Gnawing.

What other builds should I try? I want something kinda unorthodox, not the standard str or dex build or 40/40 in both. Also I like playing edgy characters so something that would fit that Pls help me /dsg/

Why are people memeing that midir is hard?
All of his ridiculously telegraphed attacks give you a year to hit his head and he fires his laser in the same pattern after the same attack every time.
He doesn't even have as much health as gael or the demon prince's three health bars if you consistently hit his head.
I personally found him difficult, but only because I'm garbage at this game.

Is there anything worse than the "so ez"fags ?

>>172577913
Strength, dex, int, faith.
Builds center around typically one of those 4 offensive stats, which are leveled alongside HP and stamina. Raise equip load as needed.
Every stat softcaps at 40, so when you reach 40 in your main offensive stat, you can choose to continue to strength your ability to deal damage by leveling a second offensive stat. For example, mixing dexterity and faith provides powerful weapon buffs that your quick weapons can take full advantage of. One of the most common and popular build paths is called 'quality' and entails leveling strength and dex evenly to maximize the damage of weapons that scale with both. This gives you access to the full array of physical weapons to use effectively.

Just note that intelligence and faith both require a much larger investment than strength and dexterity before they see good returns, and splitting points among them and other stats early on can leave you severely lacking damage.

>>172577875
the spell is pretty shit anyway my dude

>>172578178

>using climax against horses
If this is bait, consider it successful.

>>172576845

my standard spear tactic when against a lone person is to make it as similar to a real boss as possible, and I fight them in phases:

phase 1: walk slowly a distance away just to make sure my soulmass and ritual spear spells pose a threat. I never approach him and only attack if he goes for me.

phase 2: when guardian fag is dead I go aggressive with my blood rotten ghru spear and judge how good they are at pvp

phase 3: when second guardian fag spawns I remain aggressive, and generally be a huge faggot casting regeneration miracles or hidden body. if they suck shit at pvp I go easy on them and just take lazy pot shots and pressure their healing.

knowing how fucking annoying some of the douchebags playing spears are, I just don't have the conscience to bum rush people with the painting guardian still up, I at least try to make it somewhat entertaining with some gradual difficulty increase and a really weak (190 damage at +10) but still intimidating weapon.

Maybe? I remember last week people spent like half a thread going back and forth trying to discuss what an actual proper "everlasting dragon" was, and if the Ash Lake Dragon, Kalameet and Sihn counted because they didn't look like the ones from the DS1 opening. There was a lot of arguments about how to classify them, but I think it was mostly agreed that it didn't entirely matter because the lore was never airtight to begin with, and that the Ancient Dragon was most certainly not a dragon.

There are upgrades which remove scaling and increase your base damage greatly but these vary wildly in performance across the different games and can be very good or very bad depending on the weapon.

Yorshka's Chime and Murky Longstaff, get Pestilent Mercury and Tears of Denial, you will need a minimum of 30INT and 30FTH, full Ashen Estus flasks, Young Dragon Ring, Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, Lingering Dragoncrest Ring and Magic Clutch Ring, also a Crystal infused Estoc might come in handy.
Get to boss' face, cast pestilent mercury, refresh it when boss stops getting damage, keep tears of denial on you all times, don't even worry about your HP.

well done.
how's your monster girl fetish?

I feel the angels design is wasted, they look great but it's just a hide and seek game to kill the slugs controlling them

>>172579443

That person might be able to help you if you tell them what system you're on.

I'm just coming back for the ringed city dlc. Is it possible to co op with someone in a different NG level. I really don't feel like making a new character just to co op with a buddy..

>>172574701
I too would like to know this, fuck only getting 5 respecs per NG

Each game is different.

Dark Souls 2 is definitely your best bet though. 20/20/20/20 is viable. (Use dark or fire infusion on a weapon with equal strength and dex scaling).

Something like a Dark Mirrah Greatsword will gain the same damage from a level in Strength, Dex, Intelligence, and Faith.

For DS1 though, get fucked. Your best bet is to stay around 20 dex/strength and level up health and everything else instead, then use a ightning or chaos weapon with no scaling.

For DS3, go quality infusion (Strength and dex) and use pyromancy (scales with int and faith).

>having trouble with sword n board

fucking what. just use dragoncrest shield it literally blocks everything but like 50 damage from his flame breath.

>That feel when Spear of the Church fights have slowed down

I already maxed the covenant but I was kind of hoping to get past my Pale Tongues collection and reach 100+ Hosts killed.

>>172579791
is it even possible to kill the second one?
couldn't find the slug anywhere

>>172579697
No. I can't even get him past 1/3rd HP on NG++

WoG is pretty fast now

NG+4 pyro here. End my suffering.

>>172579887
it's by the little houses next to the pyromancer

Why did Gael have to wait for the end of the entire world to attack the Pygmy Lords? He couldn't just sneak up on them or something?

>>172579882

>63 tongues
>4 ears

Classic Dark Souls 3.

>>172579882
it's dead because clearly 90% of the game's community can't beat the fucking boss fight that lets you have the covenant

The real fight is the camera.
5 fucking games and FROM can't get it into their heads that big enemies need the camera zoomed out if you want to see what they're fucking doing.

I didn't kill it in time, I'm sorry anon.

Dumb pyro.

I liked the angels and cover mechanic, and the adjucator was great. The cursed undead were to keep you on your toes, and I like fighting a fat knight, but when its around 8 of them it gets tedious. Just found that most enemies were well designed and fun to fight but at times there were just too many of them and it just gets tedious, especially since everything in this dlc takes a bajillion hits.

I think I'm going for a DEX build next and use the Black Blade + Crow Quills because I dig the moveset.

My Question is should I spent points in INT or FTH for a buff build or do resins do the job aswell? Sca's lewds for attention.

>>172580238

To defeat Midir, one must become Midir.

Didn't the sleeping princess and her eggshell stop time in the ringed city or something like that?

>>172580238
It's weird too because in Bloodborne I noticed during Ludwig fight the camera zooms out a bit for you during fights.

>>172580153
literally the opposite

it's close to the Within the Earthen Peak bonfire, before the Princes (you can't access it from there, though)

when you're running across the branch after Zoey, drop off onto the thing, and there should be another branch that you walk on to the right of the drop to the bonfire. he's down there
