Are there any dex weapons that can actually hit Midir?
Most seem to miss his head half the time. Ss seems good but isn't long enough. Lucern has good range but is too slow to reliably hit him more than once it seems.
>>172694538
ive always been under the impression that lodran and lothric where magic realms and not exactly 'real'. Isnt that in the intro? Lothric is where the lands of the lords of cinder converge.....implying they dont normally and its unique to lothric. Is this an uncommon view?

So people tell me that this game is good. I don't see how. Got recommendations to play number 3 but I wanted to start with one. Intro was difficult but doable, Now I'm stuck at the undead parish by those boar things. pls fucking help, I'm this close to smashing my controller.
Daily reminder that the DLC takes inspiration from Magnetic Rose, Angel's Egg and Nausicaa.
I "killed" the dragon at the bridge.
I riposted or visceraled or whatever his ass off the cliff.
I didn't get any souls or items.

Level 67ish strength build. I thought UGS' were improved, but still impossible to hit cunts with any of the slow as fuck moves, can usually land two but then have a lot of issue hitting that last hit to kill because ds3 roll simulator. Wut do? 40str currently. Should I try other weapons out? Are there any huge weapons that are good for invading right now? Or am I just too far lacking in poise as all I'm wearing is thorn helmet and loincloth so I can look fucking JACKED.

Lure out the hollows right by archway into the courtyard where the boar is. If you don't go far past the archway the boar won't attack you. Once the Hollows are dealt with you can make a dash to the staircase to the right, kill the hollows up there, then use the alluring skulls you're given to tempt the boar into the bonfire.
Newfag playing Dark Souls 1 for the first time. Is there any way to disable the 4 direction dodging when locked onto something? It's really frustrating because I'm spoiled by a few hundred hours of the Witcher 3 being my only experience with ARPGs and being able to roll in any direction freely. I keep trying to roll diagonally which makes me go straight into enemies attacks.
Finally got Midir, good fight.
He's spongy but a charged Cathedral GS 2HR2 with Lloyd's ring and lightning resin hit his face for a cool 1030 HP at SL 80.
Fuckin dragons.
>>172694716
Just grab a BKGS, I was chunking Midir for around 440 damage per 1HR1, 515 per 2HR1. Regular BKS does around 350 or so one-handed with 34 Str.

>>172695368

>>172695165
go up the staircase on the right, kill the enemies, and pick up the alluring skulls from the corpse on the little bridge. keep throwing them into the fire below the bridge until the boar kills itself.
>>172695289
Says you. I speak of thine kind, and mine.
Can a CE wizard post Halflight's face?
>>172695165
You can run past the boar if it's too much trouble. Heavier weapons won't rebound off of its hide.
You can backstab it's butt, but it's really finnicky.
A general Souls strategy is, if something other than a boss is giving you a lot of trouble, try just running/rolling past it. Also, make sure you level up your health stat, that's the thing that will make the biggest difference in your playthrough. Make sure to upgrade one decent weapon as much as you can.

Gael is not a servant of the dark. He's also fighting the cycle, but he by pursuing a different rebirth, not submission to waning and ultimate annihilation.
More likely, he doesn't understand or care about anything beyond doing what his painting lady asks.

I'm not talking about a shield description, I'm talking about the massive girth of basic plot (not even subtle, it's a major part of the introduction) that the world of drangleic is a "mirror" world, that takes you into the past. This plotline is what all that mirror summoning shit was about, aldia had experimented with the essence of what makes reality function in drangleic.
I'm making the supposition that, because Dark souls 3 makes it canon that the dark souls 3 world exists within the same physical world as lothric, that this world must inherently also be a dream world.
this concept actually explains how waking a sleeping woman sends you to the ruins of the ringed city, because the world you were partaking in was just an ethereal visitation to the cities prominence.
>>172696167
There should be a way to set up a family account and play on the new account but I've never actually had to do it. Unsure about the save file tho

>>172694904
There's no actual definitive answer, but the best argument for it all being a "magical realm" is one poorly interpreted throwaway line from Dark Souls 2, which is already a throwaway game. More to the point, the implication seems to simply be that the closer you come to a convergence of Lord Souls/the First Flame, the less stable reality is, especially when the Flame begins to die. This is why things are relatively stable in a Kingdom of Lords until the Undead begin to appear, marking their decline and by the same token, the decline of the Flame. Then the player character arrives when it's naught but ashes, and by thentime is convoluted. Therefore, lands like Lothric and Drangleic and Lordran are "legendary" lands, as every host kingdom eventually becomes to the outside, as part of the world but serving as a nexus for all fucked up undead and timespace warping shenanigans.

>>172696594

>>172696602
holy shit you cant make this shit up
why not just item swap (which is totally safe in offline mode) instead of wasting your time fighting an enemy and risking using a script

and at the same time he became the big boss of Fromsoft + he worked on bloodborne, he had next to nothing to do with it

>t the best argument for it all being a "magical realm" is one poorly interpreted throwaway line from Dark Souls 2, which is already a throwaway game
that's a lot of fucking bias in that statement there kid.
it's not a throwaway line when it's literally the entire story of the intro, a boss, and is featured in concept art.
drangleic is a mirrored dream reality, that's like the most basic part of the story. for fuck's sake, the game literally has you traveling into dreams to accomplish tasks.
So this faggot tried to invade me so I was like aite nigga u wanna go? TRANSFORM INTO A CRYSTAL AND ALT TAB :3
>>172697016
They were mostly severely autistic and left some impressionable anons with some shitty board culture
>>172696897
One of the biggest points of the Dark Souls series is questioning perception and individual purpose. What's to say the entire world isn't merely itself a dream, and does that make it any less of a reality for us, the actors in this dream?
>>172696932
the dream world is one of the only concepts that actually made it through the development largely unscathed
it feels like you never even played the game, especially considering dark souls 3 literally got rewritten half-way through development.

>Dreamworld
What is this theory all of the sudden? I just beat the dlc and want some lore answers.
Why are rolls so stupid good? I swear I read a roll, swung, and still missed despite the roll nearly finishing.
If I unplug my computer from internet and the use the Cheat Engine to swap a regular item with Friede's Great Scythe on a fresh character and once the swap is done, I'd replug my computer to internet, is there any chance I'd get banned?
I mostly play offline.
Can someone help me kill Friede on my low sl character on ps4?
>>172697212
This one isn't bad at all.
It's just a funny comic without relying on funny faces.
>>172697147
No point in arguing then, and i prefer to argue.
>>172697025
I get that you're assblasted on having a shitty game you like called out, but that's no reason to have shit reading comprehension.
Feel free to actually drop citations in-game from those supposed sources from B-team's wild foray into shitting things up, and the concrete proof of interpretation you imagine you have.
We're waiting.
>>172697315
dark souls 2 takes place inside of a mirrored dream world.
one person is arguing that this applies to the ringed city DLC and explains the ruins in the ending
another person is arguing that dark souls 2 is a bad game with a shitty plot and shouldn't be considered when making lore discussion.

>Gives pygmies a big fancy city to live in, ensures that he is worshipped, gives over Fillianore as a sign of good will

Is that it?

>>172697395
I fucking hate dark souls 2, I'm just not autistic enough to let my distaste affect blatant lore connection. a game does not stop being canon because you hate it, it just ruins the rest of the series from then on once they start using it for their own plotlines.
If you're the guy I think you are, you're theory literally makes several times less sense than mine, with NOTHING to back it up at all save your own personal opinion that "the ash desert doesn't look like the dreg heap so it has to be in the future".

It's a point of contention; Twofags are screaming and foaming at the mouth demanding everybody accept that it's "all a dream", I imagine because they're embarrassed by how bad their taste is while the One and Threefags are autistic screeching back that it's all timetravel shenanigans.
Based on evidence presented in preceding threads, the actual careful examinations seem to suggest that Princess Fiona's dreamstate was somehow representative of Gwyn's Linking of the Fire and forcing reality as a subset of the Flame to go into a zombie traffic jam in a dry California shithole. Thus, it's not so much that the world is a "dream" as much as it is that the world's reality is being rewritten by a dreaming godhead produced by Gwyn.

>especially considering dark souls 3 literally got rewritten half-way through development.
they shuffled characters around but the story remained the same, meanwhile dark souls 2 was just pieces badly stitched together
and that's also why it didn't even had an ending until the 3 DLCs
Why can't you idiots just accept the fact that Bloodborne is better than Dark Souls 3 in every way?
How the fuck up can you put up with all the rehashed content and uninspired garbage areas?
Come over to /bbg/ once you return the game. We don't bite.
>>172696657
Ok, that actually makes more sense than what the other guy was saying. I got the idea that Drangleic was in a separate place, but it didn't seem like the whole series was just sort of stuffed in there because the premise going into DS2 was the same baseline as what we hear normally.

Does anyone have the chart that shows what catalysts/talismans give the most bang for the buck, damage and buff wise, for the various casting stat breakpoints? I can't seem to find it.

>>172697879
>I played them, I just don't go full retard like you and extrapolate shit from 5 seconds of the intro video and one weapon description
the intros have been considered solid canon in every game, you just disagree now because you don't like it and it doesn't just say "this and this happened" like the DaS1 did.
>>172697897
>it's the cersei poster again

>>172697970
No. You asked for an int build not a strength build.
>>172697682
>presents zero citations or actual interpretations, just "WAAAAAAAH MY IDEAS ARE RIGHT"
Pretty much exactly what I expected. And for the record, nothing about my ideas discount Dark Souls 2's information, they just don't assume that it's a literal interpretation that overrides all other canon entries in the series. I have no idea which theory you're talking about, but try to be a little less delusional next time.

Gael was a Slave Knight, so his existence was presumably shitty enough to be drawn into the Painted World, where he met and daughterfud Painter.
If she was brought up inside the Painted World she probably wants to make another one like it: the Paintings aren't like the 'real world' which is obessed with fire and war.
Probably From just throwing us a curveball.

If that's the case then why is there a ruined Lothric in the 'real' world? Lothric was a human kingdom, so it would have been built within the dream world. Why would it exist in the 'real' world?

Halberds have weak matchup against UGS/Yhorm/GS/CGS or I just bad?
>>172698780
because the mirrored realities aren't magical new places with separate kingdoms, it's time travel back to when the kingdom was at its prominence. you find the ruins of a great kingdom, and are transported back to it in a dream. it's meant to be like a fairy tale.
the idea behind filianore is that the pygmy kings were accessible in the normal timeline because of the cities degradation, and by waking up the woman who was having the dream, you can exercise yourself from it and have access to them.

Lapp's armor is literally the best looking armor in the game, the rest of the STR armor's are thin and with bad helmets that let your fucking neck show up.
>>172699169
Halberds have a close matchup vs CGS. CGS out-trade you and can potentially HA through you, but they have significantly less reach. Spacing gives you an advantage,
UGS are much slower and have less reach. You are untouchable unless they fuck up.
Long greataxes like yhorms are pretty much a counter to halberds. They negate your range advantage, hit harder and HA through you. Your only real option vs them is to fish for whiffpunishes.

Or, you know, Pygmy.
>>172699351
Oh thanks. Is 40 poise must have for halberds?
>>172699507
You might laugh but the harald chest has a better defense spread than havels.Now if only defense would actually do anything.
>>172699591
i hate spear users who primarily run a lot. Just dont hate me for playing slow with a ugs. Cant tell you how many people switch from something like a claymore to something like a quickstep anything since Im using a ugs.

>pygmy
>>172698773
Nothing will ever top Shrug. It's the perfect gesture for literally anything.
>>172699656
It doesn't matter
Halberd HA is so weak that almost anything will interrupt you anyways, no matter how much poise you have. It can help against things like daggers and curved swords, but not against anything bigger than that
>>172699294
>not unless gael ages backwards
Why would Gael's age be changing at all? Why wouldn't he just be doing the same thing you're doing in his parallel world? And Shira isn't aging either way.

how do you even play against the doors? It's really confusing because I don't see an effect or anything when I strike them. I'm never sure if they're using blockframes or iframes, so it's hard to gague their stamina.
It's really easy to just walk away from the doors and heal though, and they don't have a lot of instakill potential to keep that from happening.
I've done it lads. I've beat the DLC and experienced everything this game has to offer.
Its time to move on, goodbye DS3.

Maybe near pontiff area or before. If you mean caster builds than likely the lowest level you can reach max damage which is 60 int.
>>172699415
Don't feel so mate, i think DaS3 did the "end of the world" theme pretty nice, seeing everything from DaS1 dead or even more fucked than it was really back then nails the point in our head (wish there was more ds2 stuff as well though). Never felt the "otherworldly" theme as well in the nightmare zones in BB and the "beast hunter" runs too thin for me, wish there was more of it and less lmaovecraft.

>>172699593
Why would you want to fight Pygmy? Isn't his entire character that he's a tiny figure who influences greater events from the background?
I honestly don't think it would make much sense for him to suddenly become GOD OF HYPERDEATH PYGMY. That's just me, though.
Some interesting things happened during today's invasions.

Doesn't the Ringed City also imply that the Abyss predates Manus, as early mankind/pygmies forged their armour from it (according to Ringed Knight stuff)? That's a pretty major revelation.

Every WA has ridiculous HA right now. Any weapon with an HA WA can just hit L2 for instant, nigh-unbreakable poise. Your own L2 will probably out-poise and out-trade the 2GS L2, though. It actually does pretty low damage, only roughly as much as an L1 per hit.
Why has no one discussed the fact all the statues with primordial serpents heads in the ringed city have bodies with arms
I don't understand idea about "muh serpent bossfight". Who said they can fight or even strong?
>>172695394
pls respond
>>172700268
Exactly. You get to fight everything else, but not the big, creepy guys who pull the strings. It's disappointing.
>>172700579
Because there's already statues of the primordial serpents in Lothric with bodies, arms and angel wings. Check the dragonslayer armor bridge, they're EVERYWHERE.
Ok so what I understand from this DLC
>AoA takes place the same time as everything except the Kiln
>From AoA Gael is fighting for a long ass time until he reaches the Dreg Heap which is really far in the future
>He does this so he can get to the Ringed City
>When you break Filianore's spell you can get the Dark Soul, so he's trying to do this alongside us
The only thing I don't understand is why Lothric Castle is still there after you break the shell but no one seems to so I'll let that slide for now.
Is that a good summary of this DLC with that considered?

>>172700795
Not manipulating much now that the entire world is a big pile of ash and corpses.

Hope that answers your question,
Can you join new covenant if you kill the old monk boss and Gael first?
he was even spinning in circles as he moved around earlier
>>172695823
w-woah
does the red skirt peek out of the green dress?
>>172700943
He's surprisingly tough for an NPC if you try to kill him in TRC.
Even has a little monlogue if you kill him after he regained his memories.

>>172701056
Yes. The only thing killing Gael early locks you out of is completing Shira's questline.
Still wish hosts with maximum phantoms were not prioritized. ends up with no variety in invasions which is lame and boring.
I think I figured out why I don't like Dark Souls 3.None of the weapons available are fun to use.

>>172701104
Anywhere I can read it?
>>172700682
>The only thing I don't understand is why Lothric Castle is still there after you break the shell
because dark souls lore concepts involving dreams that people ignore because they don't like them.basically, if dark souls 2 is canon, the land of the gods has been nothing but rubble for millennia, and you "Access" them through a dream that transports you back in time to the cities prominence. you can also access the past through the dreams of the dead, which is mandatory to complete the game. ergo, in this manner you could suppose that the memory of lothric, that the game takes place in, is being supported by the already dead filianore, and by waking her up you are breaking it, and being forced out of the memory and back into the present time of the real world, where all that's left of these grand ancient kingdoms is their ruins. At this point in time, since the age of the gods is long dead, the pygmy lords are fully in the open and can be reached.
>>172700871
No, it's there, but you have to deal every bit of damage on the tail for it to actually come off
>>172701085

Same, I struggle to play Dark Souls 3. I started the DLC for hopes of a fun weapon and none seemed to interest me. Or well, at least that game is done.
Time to move on to the next game/replay DaS1 or BB.
I memed Midir to death. SL125 quality build with 27 VIT / 20 END, so it's not like it's anything to be proud of.It was still a fun fight.
So.. Manus wasn't the Furtive Pygmy after all?

>Midir grab attack
Where my vore fanfics /dsg/?
I didn't really see what the problem was with the Twin Ultras until I learnt first hand that these things stunlock you past the initial two hits meaning you cannot dodge away.
To clarify, that makes these one of the only weapons in the entire game that can stunlock you to death.
So these weapons with:
- Massive base range
- Massive phantom range
- Absolute tracking
- Hyperamor
- Massive poise damge
- High regular damage
- Regular stat requirements
- Chip damage on shields
- A ranged attack
- A charge attack
- Another charge attack
- Doesn't cost considerably FP to offset the above
- Doesn't cost considerable Stamina to offset the above
Are also able to stunlock you to death, from full, completely ignoring all poise - a stat which prevented such situations from occuring in previous games but now only works on hyperarmor of which is nearly 100% uptime on this weapon.
That is incredible.
This got to a final patch.

>>172701334
Yeah I read this already. I didn't pay it much mind because it sounded way too out there.
The main thing that really ought to be examined is why things go back to how they were in the game's intro. One idea is that you go into the future but that doesn't make sense since neither of those places should still be intact. Another is that you're sent back to that time, and multiple people can break the shell like multiple people can link the fire in the same cycle, but that doesn't explain Shira, because she wouldn't leave her room on her own.
So where can we go from here? Do we try to solve Shira or do we try to solve the Dreg Heap?

So many deaths in DS2 and especially 3 just make me feel like a tired old man sick of this shit.

Would you say DLC2 is better than DLC1?I think DLC1 was better, the overall quality is a little higher. As is the atmosphere (then again, i am a sucker for snow levels) and the sense of disgust.
DLC2 had a lot more content though, so there's that. I just think DLC1 was a bit better, and would've been even better if it had a little more content.DaS3 DLC's are still the weakest in the series, especially when you consider how big of an improvement the DLC in the other games provided compared to the base game
How do I look boys? Too simple? Any suggestion on weapons to try on SoC or classic invades (Full STR build)

TRC didn't even provide a total improvement over AoA. It had better bosses but worse story and level design, somehow.

Pretty much this, for the most part.
I've always played souls for PvE and only touched pvp on occasion(most of which was in dks3 with some duels).
>>172702648
Well to be fair, Gael's greatsword can combo to its R1 weapon art. Doing around the same damage. Just don't get hit and poke the people who use these weapons.
Crybaby, no fun allowed.

>game's intro
the desert of the intro is the "real world" just like how you get to see the player traveling in the real world in the DaS2 intro, before he travels to Drangleic through the dream tree.
It could be theorized that Londor actually exists in the real world, in an age of hollows, and the pilgrims are traveling to the ruins of lothric specifically to access it through the dream, just like the player does in DaS2.
>dreg heap
the archtrees the world is built on are collapsing, causing everything to shift and crush together. once they stop collapsing, the remainders of the ruins remain rested on the ground where the trees once stood, all on equal footing with each other.
>shira
since DaS2 dreamscapes are time-travel based, everything you experience actually exists, and everything you do actually happens. all she really had to do was wait out the end of time like gael did, which seems to be implied by her "I've been searching for you for ages, etc." line.

Holy fuck Midir is such an awful bossfight. Half the time he hits me is because the camera spazzes out or because he coats the floor with fire.
None of you may remember this, but a month ago I said the Ringed Knight armor looked like boring crap. I now want to say that I have never been more wrong about a set in my entire life. The way the Darksign is just seared into the chestpiece is just beautiful. I've been wearing it in conjunction with the Black Witch Veil and I just feel complete.

DeS, DaS, and BB weren't designed with "haha, so hard prepare to die xDD" philosphy. So even when you die in those games, you can understand why you did and pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try again
DaS2, and DaS3 are all about memeing you by amping up the difficulty by: More damage, more phases, more health, bullshit hitboxes, extremely fast mobs, etc

Yup, and even 3 pushes that even further.

>>172703446
More health is literally artificial difficulty.
>>172701978
>these things stunlock you past the initial two hits meaning you cannot dodge away.
What?
Their L1s combo instances of damage hits.
1st L1 into 2nd L1, and then they can roll away
Or 2nd L1 into the first two hits of the 3rd L1, allowing them to roll away while you;re midair, before you slam down.
Or the 3rd L1 alone in its entirety.
4 hits in each case.
If someone stunlocked you for more than that, it's because you didn't roll away when you could.
In every case the stunlock will deal roughly the same damage as a pair of R1s from another ultra would deal (eg. ~700-900 depending on stats and target).
>>172703252
You can prevent chainstabs, punish buffs, and also just wait for buffs to wear off. But in DaS1 buffs had limited casts and that was it, in DaS3 you can cast a shitload of buffs if you want thanks to FP instead of spell stocks, and you can chug a ton of blue estus.
>>172703193
Now here's a question
Which dragons are the biggest ones in the series?
Midir might be #1, i can't remember the scale of the others.

>>172703591
>artificial difficulty
>>>/v/
>>172703445
Well those weapons aren't designed for spamming you dumb cunt. That's why they have long animations and high damage. Besides, they are good for large groups of enemies. Get in, take a spin and roll out. Also, the dual greatswords have almost infinite poise.
I beat Gael with the dual swords and I had FUN.
You want to know what is not fun? Spamming R1 with a toothpick.
>>172703539
Why is that?
>>172703051
Sorry was reading the thread still kind of buzzed forgot I posted, but I need to transfer one weapon but my girlfriend is asleep and I usually get her to help.
>>172703450
I curios how DS1 backstabs will work with DS3 tier online.
>>172703695
Ofc we are.
Don't know if he's bigger than Midir though, it's been years
>>172703607
Goddamn Seath is fucking big. Was he always so huge and tentacle-y?
>>172703365
Really? You don't find it stupid that no matter what weapon people are using in a half a second they can backstab you?
You don't find that even a little retarded?
>>172703718
>high damage.
My Raw Broadsword can deal equatable damage with less recovery time and less stamina cost than your Gael UGS.
how good is the chloranthy ring +3?
>playing undead match
>match against a regular-looking guy
>at one point in the fight he unzips his dual fugs and rapes my bussy in one shot
This is why you should be able to see all the weapons equipped on a person even if that slot isn't active.
How do i parry Midir?
>>172703539
Me too, it's just so boring
>>172703857
Your Broadsword can't stunlock larger enemies. And I wasnt talking about Gael's greatsword. Mainly about the Dual UGS's.
And fancyness just makes the PvE more fun. Same with PvP.
>>172703230
Exactly, it's great
>>172699331
I like how it has the same sort of shoulder covering as the black leather set
>>172703830
Idk man, he was pretty big
So consuming the Dark Souls grants you the ability to be anime and a sentient cape? uh, nice I guess
>>172703857
Goddamn I didn't know a raw broadsword had that much AR.... definitely gonna have to check thst out, thanks for the tip.
>>172703981
Usually, Alt+F4 would help.
>>172703607
Ancient Dragon edges out Midir, as seen here >>172701686
Only real question is who takes it between Ancient Dragon and Seath.
>>172703462
I don't really bother with chloranthy, to be honest, so I couldn't say.
It depends on how aggressive you are, but at the end of the day, more stamina is better than no stamina.
I'd strike a happy medium and go 25 end + favor, and put the other points somewhere else.
>>172703948
Imagine the chloranthy ring
Now imagine that x3 better
>>172702756
You know, despite TRC having more content, it somehow felt shorter than AoA to me. Still, I did enjoy TRC more.
>>172703446
Multiple phase bosses were a mistake. Like you're just wasting peoples time at that point.
>>172703846
You can do it to them too.
Dummy. Learn the mechanics and gimmicks, don't complain that you don't know how to play.
>take a break for a couple months

>>172702924
>and the pilgrims are traveling to the ruins of lothric specifically to access it through the dream, just like the player does in DaS2.
Yeah that really doesn't work out well either, because the intro is much more than just the pilgrims traveling to Lothric. Which is also right there and not at the bottom of a huge vortex. There's a very clear movement from one space to another in DS2's intro, and there is not in DS3.
> the remainders of the ruins remain rested on the ground where the trees once stood, all on equal footing with each other.
And this is another problem, because you can't just smooth out the Dreg Heap and end up with a well shaped Anor Londo, let alone a well shaped Lothric Castle and High Wall.
I want to think there's something we're missing here but I don't have a whole lot of hope.
>>172704162
but the base chloranthy ring is shit
so is it shit x 0.66?
>>172704176
Having a second phase is fine.
Three or more is kinda ridiculous.
>>172704176
>We will never get a 5-10 phase boss
Why even play?
>>172704176
I don't know if you're trying to be ironic or not. I hope you are, but we live in pretty dark times.
>>172703830
Dragon God is probably Ceaseless tier.
>>172704108
Gale is the stupidest idea for a boss ever. It doesn't help that he is clearly a Berserk reference.
>>172704108
>jumping is anime
Holy shit this fucking general
>>172704118
It's doesn't have more AR, it doesn't the same damage in the same amount of time because it attacks faster. 1 hit of a R1 from your Gael UGS is equatable to 2 R1s of a Raw Broadsword, which take the same amount of time and cost less stamina overall
>>172704035
can't stunlock bosses, don't care for trash; besides you can dash attacks easily with a broadsword since you have you have faster attack animations letting you roll easier than a ugs
>>172704303
Explain pls, I'm actually interested. >>172704320
Is anyone else on PS4 unable to connect or is it just me?
are we allowed to talk about this game here?
>>172704250
This. A lot of game developers need to learn the meaning of the phrase "less is more."
Especially you, Rockstar.
>>172704246
Yes
>>172704246
+3 is around 10 stamina points per second. It's a good ring.
Is this an okay distribution for a PVE Dex/Faith build in SoTFS? Will be using a Rapier whenever one becomes available.
>>172704320
It is though, jumping is extremelly impratical in an actual fight.
It's reasonable when a monster or very oversized humanoid does it, but every time humans do it in Souls it looks so goofy.
To make it worse Gael fires a crossbow during it (but the dodge timing is essentially the same, it's only there to make him look cool)
>>172703327
>More damage, more phases, more health, bullshit hitboxes, extremely fast mobs, etc
Pure bait. Vanilla DS3 is EZ mode. Even at NG+3 bosses are made from paper. Fuck off. And BB has everything you listed
>>172704374
It's PSN, only 26 minutes to wait.
>>172703327
Yeah, this is probably why DS2/DS3 are my least favorite of the 5 games. DS2 edging over DS3 just because they have more enjoyable weapons (Twinblades/Powerstancing). DS3 has my favorite boss in the game, but what good is it when 97% of the weapons are boring?
>>172704298
Keep in mind, when I say phase I mean that stupid "Drain all their health only for them to immediately get it all back and turn into essentially a different boss" thing that was running rampant. Especially with Friede.
I sure some people like that, but I do not.
>>172704320
>Spinning through the air with a giant sword firing a rapid fire wrist-mounted crossbow
Yes, that is anime.
>>172704374Servers shutdown for good

>>172704359
Wasn't your main argument about what is fun? If your definition of fun is what is the most efficient way to do this then fine. I guess this is just a case of differing opinions.
Is this good? Am I winning DSG?
>>172695559
>not from Miyazaki = not canon
So basically half of DS1 and all of DS3 isn't canon?
Just because his name is on the director credit doesn't mean he wrote everything. Most of it was written by other people (check the credits) who change with every game.

Well aside from the fact that a one-shot NPC got upgraded to final, final boss I don't like that instead of talking to the pygmies and finally getting some answers to the many, many questions of this DLC we just get a bossfight and some dialogue from the painter girl.

Painter being Ocellote is pretty well supported. Dragon-Child, found in the painting, like the other dragon-child that had no place in the world. Her name is never stated because lol gotta be cryptic.

How do we know this scale is accurate though?
2 different enemies from 2 completely different games.
The PC scale in both games are different, even..
>>172704373
Jumping isnt anime, bosses in ds1 could do it. Gael as a berserk reference comes from the auto-crossbow, because guts has one, and the attack where he spins the swords around on his back, because guts does this several times. Other then that its a meme, gael doesnt act, look, sound, or fight anything like guts. The fact that gael uses magic should be enough to prove that but people have been trying to find as many references to berserk as possible and are starting to go over board with it.
Him as a bad final boss is purely opinion though, personally i loved the fight but thats jus me.
>>172704740

Yeah the crossbow thing makes me laugh. I'm pretty sure the bolts don't even have a hitbox, I haven't even been able to get hit by them on purpose. It's just a stupid cosmetic thing.
Gael is one of those concepts that I'm sure seemed cool in their heads but just didn't really pan out how they must have imagined it.

Anyone know which angle i should bash my head into the floor to get amnesia?
I wanna play souls for the first time again.
>>172704509
Well that's a bit different to what I was thinking. I was think more in terms of bosses changing up their movesets at certain HP breakpoints.
But still, I don't mind multi-bosses, either. It's pretty much a JRPG staple. I thought it was kind of nice for From to have a go at it.
I will however say that I think Blackflame Friede would have worked better as a separate boss placed sometime after sister/papa crow.
How the fuck do I get summoned for spears of the church?
I've been sitting here with the covenant item equipped for like an hour now.
>>172703327

How to kill Vilhelm? He kills me in two hits and heals
>>172704679
I have another issue though, what weapon do I carry for the faith build? I wanted to keep my dex to a minimum but at only 9 dex i cant even use a straight sword. Will i be okay with only an axe or greataxe?
>>172704753
I'm not that anon, but sometimes the hitbox feels too wide or that the weapon staggers me before the attack animation has even started properly. Might be due to bad luck with lag though.
>>172704528

As a pyromancer is it worth going 30 str so i can use lorians and the demon axe? I would need to sacrifice points from int fth. Or is a pure 40/40 split better than a hybrid?
>>172704753
Not him, but 90% of people I invade/duel who use Yhorm are some kind of scum/tryhards. And Yhorm basically worst thing in DS3 for me. R1 HA machine. You do nothing except R1. No running attack, no roll attack, R2/etc. Just R1 R1 R1

Seriously, this game was designed while From Software was still in "Bloodborne' mode. Let PS4 users use their hunter in this game.
>>172705156
I hate Gael's regular armor and his cloak being split in two in his boss fight means I'd hate his regular armor too, I think. I can't really justify making a Gael build. Wish there was a set that matched his sword better, but all I can think of is Fallen Knight set and god knows I can't force myself to be that level of ironic.
>>172704872
Probably fake. The Archives have statues of them, too, with winged humanoid bodies. I'm guessing both are just different interpretations by artists who have never seen the full thing.

I just want to use my dumb animu swords and have fun.
>>172704292
What if every single attack of a boss is actually a phase ?
>>172704937
Yeah, Souls should be about punishing you for being a dumbass and not tackling a fight the correct way, rather than how good you are at rolling in every fight.
2 and 3 are still good games imo, but they definitely lost some of that feeling.
>>172705067

Wew! It almost makes up for the complete lack of (low STR req) faith scaling weapons in the game.Not really.
This is not quite the hell I had envisioned when I first came here.

>Estoc: A in faith, hands down my favorite caster weapon. Allows you to play passively while getting away with a few pokes here and there when your enemy least expects it (Can be easily parried if you get carried away with r1 spam)
Honestly, just choose something you can use with your STR/DEX and throw lightning on it and has a moveset you can rely on in a pinch. From kinda gave faith casters the shaft in terms of weapon selection so you'll just have to find whatever works best for you.
>>172705893
>people with similar opinions tend to hang out together
But this is /dsg/ and we all secretly hate each other. Some of us are bad at keeping that secret, though.
>>172705547
Wait for real, did they fix clutch rings too or are they still pvp gimped?
>>172704467
It's acceptable, though personally I'd put Attunement up to 32 for the extra casts, even with Clear Bluestone +2 and Southern Ritual +2 (and remember that it also lets you shave some points off of Adaptability). Just remember that Endurance literally soft-caps at 20 so going beyond that gets you pretty shit returns.
>>172705416
Dude drop your items you want mw to transfer. Let's do yours first.
The stuff i need to transfer are on a different character but you needed +10 weapon memory
>It's another "Challenging boss has a long, tedious and time consuming run back to it" episode
Probably my biggest gripe with the seriesif you exclude the awful fanboys
It's just so pointless. There's no reason they couldn't make it like they did with Elfriede, Gehrman, Fume K***ht, etc. etc.
Runbacks like 4Kangs adds fucking nothing
>>172705701
Get them low then switch to a straight sword.
>>172705912
You could judge him by what weps and shit hes using if you wanna feel better but honestly anon there are a million and one things you can compare people by, and who's better at dank souls is not the first thing that should come to mind.
>>172705696
>He's a shitty boss
But that's where you're wrong.
He has obvious tells for all his attacks which all leave openings for his weak spot (head). The team made sure that he was left vulnerable after every attack. That's grade A design, and better than most, if not all the fights in Dark Souls 3 because it's just constant attack left and right. I'll take Midir over Gael/Nameless/Soul/Gundyr's boss fight of hit him 1-2 times after he does his combo and repeat until he dies.
Midir doesn't even have a lot of attacks, and the most bullshit he can do is two charging 4-hit combos in a row, and the bullshit doesn't come from it hitting you, but him moving across the entire arena.
Midir is legitimately the only good boss in Dark Souls 3, and the best dragon boss From has ever made. It's almost as if they took notes from Capcom's Monster Hunter team for this boss (excluding first gen monsters).
>>172705646
You have to play that entire zone like MGS, wait for them to turn their backs and run from cover to cover.
>>172706092
Dude i was trying to message you on psn, I chose the wrong character m80 and I will
>>172705960
>Thinks he needs the red soapstone to invade as a boss
xD
can you still use a simple infused weapon to always have at least 1 fp and still do weapon arts or did they patch that?
>>172706116
They add tension to you failing. I consider 2cats to be the most horrifically stressful fight in the dark souls series simply because of the weight of the run back hovering over my head if I die.
I haven't played since the heavy infusion got buffed. Is there a list of weapons that are good with strength builds now somewhere?
>>172704796
The player is actually pretty much the same height in each game (roughly 1.5 units). I set the camera to always be the same distance from the player, always at the same angle, and put the player the same distance from the boss.
>>172706116
Demon Princes is right outside a bonfire.
Halflight is right a bonfire
Midir is 15 seconds away the above bonfire
Gael is literally to the right of the bonfire if you die once.
>>172706285
i think they made it that you have to have at least half the FP cost
>>172706241
Also hold onto the weapon then after we transfer yours because i need to grab a slab from AoA
>>172706241
My sign is down when you are ready. This character doesn't have anything in the inventory so you don't habe to worry about listing items or if I'll forget anything

What's the secret to killing this santy claws fuck
>>172706229
Yeah, I realized that when the angel assholes down in the swamp punctured me like a balloon in seconds.
At least my death allowed me to find a +3 version of the Ring of Favour.
>>172706116
The fuck are you referring to? Demon Prince and Gael are right next to the bonfire and Dragon/Spear fights are like a minute away with 0 and 1 enemy on the way.
>>172706325
I can buy this as the accurate scale. Seath and Midir are both just everlasting dragons, aren't they? They look to be about the same size, which makes sense.
>>172706116
the only one that meets that description is midir
and yes, it's gay for hard bosses
>>172706490
Use the poison frog staff to poison him and then attack his back with a prong damage sword.

5. Undead Dragon

I'm planning to make a jack of all trades character. Can you give me a witty or suitable name?
>>172704780
Its not the swords that bothers me, its the people who use them. Crutch weapons do nothing but hinder a person's ability to get better at the game.
>>172706490
Roll away from the melee, not into him, so you're right next to his face once he stops.
Try to find a weapon with decent range.
If he arches up to breath fire to the ground run towards the direction he's facing. Alternatively run behind him if you're close and smack his tail.
Anyone noticed that TRC is literally inside a giant cracked eggshell?
>>172706216
He is not vulnerable after every attack. Most of them force you to back off or take damage yourself and that way get a hit in. There are a few safe instances of hitting him, but you get only around two or three hits in these cases.
So it's just a huge snooze fest.
Kalameet was aggressive, but you could also play against him agressively. There was a sense of risk and reward. With Midir, you get punished if you don't play along his stupid rules.

The only attack that's hard to punish is the yolo combo, everything else he is vulnerable.
He fights fairly, the only thing unfair about Midir is his resistances/high health pool.

If you like the world building and atmosphere, play Armored Core 3.
If you like the hype and boss battles, play Armored Core For Answer
If you like the the mechanics and multiplayer, go play Armored Core Verdict Day. (PS3 only, preferably get both a USA and JP copy)
If you like the difficulty and forcing yourself to learn how to play a brutally punishing game, play Armored Core Last Raven.
All three are on par with souls in those areas, they just suffer in other areas because low budget.Even though they look different the style
If you like soul's style but not the mechanics/gameplay enough to enjoy AC, then go play (in this order):
>Nier
>Nioh
>Shadow of the Collosus,
>Dragon's Dogma
>Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
>Skyrim with difficulty and gameplay mods
>Salt and Sanctuary
>Monster Hunter
>Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword

Been meaning to try out AC at some point. I'll get to it in time.
I've played most of those other recommendations except for a few that are on my list, like Nier and perhaps a newer Zelda game..
I've always been ashamed of not playing Colossus, especially since i loved Dragon's dogma and climbing monsters to stab the shit out of them. Idk if it's released on newer consoles, i don't feel like busting out my PS2 and looking for a copy.
>>172707256
>implying that's wrong
MH team is better at designing bosses (post 1st gen) than From. They design the bosses to have obvious tells before attacks with obvious vulnerable locations before, during and after each attack all the while having infinitely more interesting weapons than the Souls Games
I'm not sure how anyone can claim Midir is a terribly designed boss, especially when the phrase is uttered in the same breath as praising Gael.

They do some retarded shit with covenants
auto summons are fine - aldritch faithful/watchdoggos
way of the blue is fine
darkmoons/sentinels should've been the same fucking thing. wear the covenant to auto summon, use a blue orb to invade sinners
poo makers and fingerbums - why have two that do the same thing? poos are a neat idea but when you need to kill 3 phantoms to get the shackle anyway what's the point? it should've just been flat, get one kill for your sheckle.

I have to admit I'm not really into that whole scalie crowd but... Midir can fuck me anytime he wants to desu.

SotC is best to emulate, same with older AC (if you can get it to work). Some MH games can be emulated, some can't.
If you do try AC, avoid Armored Core 4 and Armored Core V, go instead for Armored Core For Answer or Armored Core Verdict Day. It's kind of like DS2 vs SOTFS or DS1 without Dsfix. They're alright games but the same-engine sequels are vastly superior.
>>172708079
This reminds me of the Lord of Cinder srmor. Especially how skinny the legs look. This might be the prototype. Also, that armor had similar grooves on it.

It looks like dogshit because it was probably never finished.
>>172708079
Honestly i don't like how it looks compared to the actual fluted set.
It the helmet/chest on Lapp's armor looked a bit less bulky it'd be an instant favorite for me.

>>172708375
Does Midir walk normally at all, or is he crouched like that all the time? Every other Dragon looks fine.
>>172708490
You will get to see it.
FROM LOREMAKING
>put shit here and there
>the players will make up their own lore
>miyazaki is praised as a genius
>>172708375
Do Kalameet/Sinh
/dsg/ praises shit fights like Friede and Cinder, but shit on good fights like Midir
fuck you
>>172708559
I think gaping walked like that too.
Then again gaping was always a special child.
>>172708446
gotcha
>>172708210
That horseface is god awful. Learn to make good looking characters
Now here's a real beauty >>172701302
>>172708517

>Tfw working on witch
>Want to get her to 120 then invade people
>Scared that by the time I get her to that level the invasions will be dead
Is it worth?

Remember that stamina regen is a function of your equip load %, so sitting near 70% can fuck you over. If you're below 50%, you get extra roll distance and faster stamina regen, so at your Vit level you may be limited to cloth armors.
Agility has certain break points for rolling i-frames, I generally tend to keep to 96 Agility, since the next break points are 99 and 100.
Another thing I should point out, going from 30 up to 40 in any of the offensive stats gives you a much larger boost than previous ones (it's why Hexes can't take full advantage of other casting schools besides Pyro, a dedicated Sorcerer or Cleric will have much more powerful spells since they're going past 30), so upping Dex to 40 can really boost your damage output. The jump from 40 to 50 is decent but starts suffering from diminishing returns (the "hard" cap starts at 50), so depending on the specific weapons you want to use it may be worthwhile to shift from 30/40 to 40/40. I don't remember if there are any specific chimes that require 50 Faith, but you can Spice down any Miracles you want.

Tfw i like midir because i can just cast persistent mercury and afk and i like seeing big numbers and damage over time
>>172708648
>fly-faced insectoid character
>good looking
nice try 2B anon.
>>172708639
Should probably meet with >>172708665
instead. I'm not the same guy
>>172708446
cant see your sign
>>172708490
you'll get to see it in kiln of the last shekel DLC, where you will fight a boss thats inserted into lore post game
>>172708716
>Where are my sallet sets?
In DaS2, where all the best fashion is
>>172708609
Friede and Cinder are unique and spontaneous, constantly throwing new things at you.
Midir is a 5 second .gif looped for 8 munutes.
>>172708594
Considering the huge amount of dedicated/fanatic DS lorefags around, I'd say it was a genius move.
>>172708734
At least my character doesn't look like a 50 year old transsexual.
But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At 0-70% equipment load stamina regenerates at standard rate, at over 70% load regeneration rate is decreased. Standard rate appears to be 45 stamina/second.
50% is the same as 69.9%
1% is the same as 69.9%
What's the meta level
Reasons why DeS > DS
>Hellkite and wyvern aren't dragons
>Kalameet is either half-drake or just a baby dragon, doesn't drop a dragon soul either
>Ancient dragon is a fake
>stone dragon doesn't fight you, is corrupted by growing into an archtree and is also tiny
>seath lacks scales
>undead dragons are corrupted by poison and falling apart
>Midir is corrupted by crystals
>prinscilla is a halfbreed
>Sinh's growth was stunted by poison and magic to keep him weak and bled out constantly
>>172708927
Where?
>>172708960
120 for the normies.
90 for all the cool kids.
>>172708889
I'm not sure if I'd do a fly-faced woman or a horse faced woman. Both are ugly, and the fly faced woman's creator shouldn't tell other ugly characters to follow his lead at all.
>>172704467
>dex/faith
>lowest damage output combo in the game
Enjoy your 20 minute long buttpoke repetitive boss fights.
>>172709027
>Kalameet is either half-drake or just a baby dragon, doesn't drop a dragon soul either
He's not supposed to drop a soul, he's a fucking dragon
>>172708728
Stop spreading misinformation.

low dex means you need sage though
>>172708015
Listen here anon
I'm a stubborn fuck
I force myself to stay below 30vig on Ngmax for my main characters in all DS games
I've only ever had respec for 2 boss fights
Midir was one, so I suggest you do the same
>>172709027
>doesn't mention Gaping or the Dragon king axe you get
It's like you hate oneshotting a gank with the AoE
>>172707063
suggest something, then
>>172709495
whats a good faith dex weapon?
>>172704483
>Vanilla DS3 is EZ mode
Every Souls game is easy. Dark Souls 3 has the hardest mandatory bosses and the hardest mobs.
You're right that BB was designed to be difficult, at least the chalices and The Old Hunters.
>>172697793
farmable?
How do I into early game faith
I wanna make a faith build but I want to actually try and make it work, not just melee my way to the end of the game and then respec
>>172707318That's actually Gwyn's miracles destroying loose pieces of the dark soull
Okay, Shadowplay's Instant replay feature is broken to me, can't use it.
Any recommendations to record gaming sessions, boys?
So you can also invade as spears of the church if you're summoning sign is in the room apparently. Has this happend to anyone else?
