If you have the spare equip load, +9 (or +10 if you have a spare slab) yourself a Black Iron Greatshield and infuse it with fire and you will take almost literally no damage whatsoever.
He does crazy stamina damage at higher game cycles though, so it's still risky.

Burned through 4 Titanite Slabs trying to make a good weapon for this fight, then I picked up the Longsword that I used since the start of the game... second try.
Why does this always happen.
Same went for Sister Friede, I was struggling so hard trying to get her with many different weapons and killed her on second try when I went back to Old Wolf Curved Sword I had since Farron Keep.

>Midir really isn't that hard
So it begins.
I agree somewhat, but only after you've memorized every animation he does. He's not a boss you can do on reaction alone, which I think is where the "Midir is bullshit" meme is coming from. Besides the health and damage, that is.
>>
>>172782084
Yeah but not in that area. I'm thinking Settlement and the invaders should be mound makers. The host would have a gimped-ass build so he has to rely on summons, and the invaders would be forbidden from using the typical super twink gear. Shackles for everybody and lots of stupid fun.

They are kind of similar, now that you mention it.
Come to think about it, Ebrietas is my favourite boss in BB too, even though I'm shit at it.

Although one big difference is that Midir's charge is consistently avoidable, whereas Ebrietas is 1/10 pure luck, 9/10 getting fucking nailed. Fuck you it's impossible

Meh. Fallen K***ht is crap because literally anyone who makes it to Crucifixion Woods can wear it, and the hardest thing you have to do is beat the Outrider K***ht under the tower (or just run past him since he doesn't go beyond the door to Road of Sacrifices). Artorias set looks edgy but I'm fine with that since you need to beat Champ to access it.

Ringed K***ht is perhaps a step to the side from Wolf K***ht since you do have to beat Demon Prince in order to even encounter one, and accessing the DLC requires beating either Friede or Homoprinces.

You're not considering the Slayer of Demons.
He can out-heal anyone in the series, and he has the same backstab and parry abilities as the Chosen Undead. And with the above points i made, he's by far the most likely winner.

Until you add the Hunter from BB. Then it becomes close, and it's up for debate.

I can't check it myself right now, but you mean visible from Gael's arena? Are they very high up or close to the ashen ground? Because if they're near the piles of ash wouldn't that mean they're much lower than they were in the regular game timeline, since originally both are piled up on top of other kingdoms / worlds that haven't yet been reduced to ash piles. If they're near the bottom of the world it means they're much lower than they were before, signing that Gael's arena takes place in the future.

Filianore is strongly implied to be the first Firekeeper.
We don't see her eyes and is very likely blind
This is the description

>Does that mean that when they are losing their pretty looking form they are actually becoming their real selves?
Yes. Humans being beings of Dark is a central thing that has been going on through the series.

Dark Souls 1 intro:
>And from the Dark, they came. < accompanied with a silhouette of hollow-like people against the First Flame
Dark Souls 1 Kaathe:
>Your ancestor claimed the Dark Soul and waited for Fire to subside. And soon, the flames did fade, and only Dark remained. Thus began the age of men, the Age of Dark.
Dark Souls 2 Vendrick:
>With Dark unshackled, a curse will be upon us… And men will take their true shape…
>One day fire will fade and dark will become a curse. Men will be free from death; left to wander eternally. Dark will again be ours and in our true shape, we can bury the false legends of yore. …only, is this our only choice?
Dark Souls 2 Aldia:
>Once, the Lord of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from humanity. And men assumed a fleeting form. These are the roots of our world.Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie.
Dark Souls 3 Yuria:
>But the old gods are no more, and the all-powerful fire deserveth a new heir. Our Lord of Hollows, it shall be, who weareth the true face of mankind.

When the First Flame starts to fade it starts the "Undead Curse", which is in fact mankind returning to its true form. Probably weakens the Lord Souls as well since we've seen that Gods can also go Hollow, take for example the Nameless King. However despite undeath being the "true form" of mankind it's not necessarily a desirable one. After all, despite being immortal you still look like beef jerky and gradually lose your mind until you're nothing but a raving beast. Do not trust the Jewrpents.

Lot's of bitches bitching about Ashes of Ariendel. If you're a tryhard you may think it's too short.

Just don't go expecting closure for the whole franchise in a dlc like these other idiots.

Pygmies as in plural. Slave Knight Gael gets to them before you do, slaughters them all because they had run out of blood to use as a pigment. He devours their Dark Souls and becomes super buff boss fight, you kill him and receive the Blood of the Dark Soul to give to the painter girl. He himself knew he'd go mad from devouring the Dark Soul so you killing him and taking the Blood in his stead went according to his own plan.

The painter names the painting after your character, but we don't actually get to see anything. No cutscene. No new ending. Bringing her the blood is literally just few lines of dialogue amounting to simple thanks.

I'm still clinging onto the hope that there's some secret stuff with the Painter that people haven't just found out yet. I mean the church wasn't burning the last I recall. That, or it's going to be added in a patch because From Software wants to simulate the time it takes for the painter to finish her work.

Then we get to see it completed, maybe a small cutscene / ending with the Ashen One implying "fuck cycles and fuck this world" and going to sleep there. I mean come on, she repeated the "dank gentle place that will become a home for someone" line so much and since Gael is dead there's only the player character left to use it.

I'm not asking for a whole new area or boss fights, just some closure damn it.

In an invasion, shields are either greatshields for tanking the fuck out of things or parry tools, don't use medium shields if you can avoid them. As for spears, Partizan, Gargoyle Flame Spear, and the Ringed Knight spear are pretty alright. Halberd in general are cancerous as fuck to play against because they're very hard to parry and have huge phantom range on a lot of attacks.

Aldia's talking about the true dark nature of man and how Gwyn cursed man with the dark sign.

>And men assumed a fleeting form. These are the roots of our world. Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie.

He's talking about how humans were held back by the curse and how humans are nothing but puppets lighting the flame across the ages.

Aldia fucking told us directly in Dark Souls 2 and it went over everyone's heads.

It is, but the spin and sweeps are good for catching people off guard. I find it's used best with an offhand crossbow to zone people.

Are you tanking or parrying? Good halberds include the Red Hilted Halberd, Lucerne, Gundyr's Halberd, and Splitleaf GS. They'll work with whatever but 2-handing them is advised.

Dark Souls 2 is basically a plot of two brothers, Aldia and Vendrick trying to find ways to control the curse and failing at it. Basically keeping humans "human" without ushering an Age of Dark or resorting to relinking of the First Flame. Aldia in particular laments the humans' current form as nothing but a lie, but also questions the shattering of the "wonderful falsehood full of warmth and resplendence" that is the Age of Fire. Vendrick stole something from the Giants to build the Throne of Want whereas Aldia recreated the Ancient Dragon with a soul of a Giant, it's assumed he created the Emerald Herald as well since according to her dialogue she was "conceived of Dragons" and was another failure in trying to contain the curse.

The Throne is basically a tool conceived to control First Flame (Emerald Herald mentions Nashandra goes there coveting the First Flame), but I assume it's incomplete and just causes another cycle or provides the same DaS1 Age of Fire / Age of Dark choice, at least judging by the Emerald Herald's dialogue about embracing or renouncing your role. Supported by Vendrick mentioning "With fire, they say, a true king can harness the curse. A lie, but I knew no better…"

In terms of Lord Souls, the game also mentions concept of "Souls flourishing anew" and the Great Soul bosses drop the Lord Souls if you're in NG+, implying the souls were reborn into different beings.

>>172789526
Humans are the result of the pygmies and their dark soul being sealed by fire. Meaning that the Dark Soul is not a soul from fire like the rest of the souls. Not to mention it works totally backwards to typical souls (more powerful when split apart, creates immortality instead of mortality, strengthens as the fire fades).

Wait a fucking second. The wiki mentions these death dialogue for Friede boss fight.

>Player is not a Lord of Londor
>"Return from whence thou cam'st. For that is thy place of belonging."
>"Leave us be, Ashen One. Sweep all thought of us from thy mind. As thy kind always have."

>Player is a Lord of Londor
>"Return from whence thou cam'st. Yuria surely awaits thee."
>"Leave us be, Ashen One. Thou art the Lord of Londor and have thine own subjects to guide."

I knew of those two but there seems to be third one
>Player completed Lord of Hollow ending, but not started next NG Cycle
>"Return Lord of Londor. You have your own subjects to attain to."

Considering the fact you also supposedly get Yuria's weapons if you get the ending, but don't go to NG+ right away. Has anyone tried talking to the painter after both giving her the blood and having completed the Usurpation ending?

I like DaS3 having more special moves (more stuff like DaS2's dual smelter sword explosion), however DaS2 handled off-hand weapons much better.

He's a good last boss, love the looks and the fight itself, plus he was nicely foreshadowed with all the messages he left to help you, but the following painter dialogue is really lackluster. For all that build up and finally getting your hands on the most sought soul in the entire series you only get simple thanks and shitty "to be continued, maybe?" dialogue. It's not even a case of people expecting TRC to explain previous lore shit, the DLC doesn't have the courtesy of finishing its own plot. Unless there's still some secrets left to discover.

What level are you supposed to be to fight the last boss of the ringed city?

I'd consider myself overleveled even for Soul of Cinder at this point, and I was only taking off pixels of his health at a time. Does he have a weakness, or do I actually have to beat on his ass for 7 minutes and not get hit more than twice in a row?

Is sorcery/MLGS pvp just outclassed right now?

the only redeeming part of MLGS has been relatively high damage, and the weapon art is insanely good for out-trading with its turbo hyper armor and average ~800 damage bursts

i'm feeling incredibly outclassed by similar faith 'battle cleric' builds that are using the new lightning arrow, it makes any soul spear, homing mass or soul arrow i could cast look like utter shit

the preacher's right hand catalyst has been really good, but the lock-on tracking of its weapon art is hilariously bad. it averages ~600 damage through three hits, but it can be parried and has a very loud forecast to it

farron dart(s) just seem absolutely worthless compared to lightning urns

crystal sage rapier is nice, but i literally cannot fit a leo ring into my slots to make it function

am i missing something or is an int build just purely mediocre? i've been backing up a save to respec different loadouts, but everything feels absolutely lukewarm in the face of a lot of new DLC weaponry

True, but only because there is no ds3 equivalent. I can guarantee you that just for having a useful wa instead of a shitty dual power attack, the ds3 version would be better.

Viability was a poorly chosen word on my part, but you're still just talking about the moveset. There's no reason they couldn't have used those moves while keeping the DaS2 mechanic.

If i wanted to use that Ringed Knight UGS because i think it looks good, with the DaS2 mechanic i could use ONE of them. In DaS3, with all paired weapons, you're forced to use them both, or at least just carry the other one on your person, bloating your weight.

Every part of this is wrong or bad.

>the only redeeming part of MLGS has been relatively high damage, and the weapon art is insanely good for out-trading with its turbo hyper armor and average ~800 damage bursts

How is any of that just 'redeeming' MLGS is a single-stat Greatsword with decent range, that's all it needs to be great.

Lightning Arrow is tricky now but you shouldn't be trading Soul Spears with it. Soul Spear is a shit nuke anyway due to the high FP cost and cast time, for Lightning Arrow just roll out of range and cast Soulmass, the best option against the Arrow is forcing them to shoot, rolling into them and having them eat Soulmass. Or spam Farron Darts.

That's why you don't just spam Preacher WAconstantly, Preacher's Arm basically gives you a free Flashsword that does more damage and can combo. Hint, if you cast Crystal Magic Weapon on a mainhand weapon the Arm WA gets the damage from the buff.

Why are you even comparing urns and darts, Great Farron Dart is an infinite Throwing Knife that does more damage while Lightning Urn is a slow but high-damaging limited consumable for Faith builds.

>crystal sage rapier is nice, but i literally cannot fit a leo ring into my slots to make it function

Most of your damage from CSR is magic damage anyway, Leo Ring is pointless. The main draw of CSR is it having the longest rapier R1s meaning you can play keepaway with it terrifically.

If you want to play INT differently I'd recommend Heysel Pick if you want a different game. It has terrific spell adjust for a weapon catalyst and since you'll always want to 2H it you can offhand a Scholar's Candlestick. It's lightweight makes poisestacking even at base VIT easy. Heysel R1s can also combo into Soul Greatsword and now Old Moonlight with Sage+2 which does more damage, and with proper spacing you can fuck anyone over with this combo easily.

Frayed Blade has the nice weapon art, but like other katanas the R1s are too slow and short ranged to deal with hyper armor weapons, so you're often pushed into spamming the running attack since you can throw it out and then roll away safely. The slash weapon art from normal katanas is good as well, but like I said the regular R1s suck. They should be faster or push you forward more. They're only good for punishing people that run towards you but that only really happens when you're playing super passive.

are clearly supposed be pulling on your heart strings rather than implying he'll actually fucking return. The painting was meant for him but he sacrificed himself for its completion. Besides, even if he was dead in the future it would mean that he actually somehow got into that future, ergo got to eating the pygmies and not chilling in the painting.

There's other thing. If you complete TRC first Gael won't be there for AoA.

Frayed Blade deals low-ish damage but it's really good. The energy attack is great for outspacing stuff and the slashes are really good for area denial against people that roll towards you and for applying bleed.

Also I don't know if it's just me or not, but the running attack seems to have a lot of phantom range even on my screen, something I didn't feel when I used the Chaos Blade. May just be me though.

a weapon art combo only dealing 600 damage in an environment of greatswords and glaives which can hyper armor through you and do more damage during a trade is just bad against someone who knows what they are doing.

Frayed blades problem is its damage. The fancy weapon art is very similar to the gaels greatsword in that it fun to use and looks cool but is very gimicky and just doesnt make up for the loss in damage or int he case of gaels greatsword worth the loss of something like the bks weapon art in a case where simpler almost always equals better.

not to say that you cant have success with the weapon. the game is at a very good spot not all things considered if you ignore the problems with magic and the "meta" is very wide but there are simply better options than the frayed blade

Cooping Midir is a lot of fun. It reminds me a lot of cooping the Gaping Dragon in that it's probably not a good idea to summon for it because it has a ton of HP before and especially after a summon.

And then there are some assholes who get summoned, wait for the guy to drop down, and then port out. The last time I was summoned it happened. The host got fucking wrecked by Midir over and over again and then just backed off and let me take on Midir, who has the health of +2 summons, 1v1. Luckily I was running a regen build with a blessed weapon, the Sun Princess Ring, the Ethereal Oak Shield, and Lifehunt Scythe. It's basically impossible for me to die. /blog

What's the best level range for early game? I imagine there's a level range where you can catch people in Road of Sacrifices, Farron Keep, Cathedral of the Deep and maybe Catacombs.

>>172795059
I agree, but it doesn't make the weapon bad, just more balanced. It's annoying that people hate katanas to the point where they get incredibly frustrated at dying to them, I have been using a buffed Crucifix build lately which kills people in only a couple of easy hits and I got no hatemail, today I was using Frayed Blade and Dark Hand and I got hatemail from one Twin UGS guy I killed.

By the way, Gael's GS weapon art is not bad, it combos from one R1 for like 900 damage.

People on the internet have short memories. Enough people get into Dark Souls on a regular basis (particularly as it's DLC season) that they will have never heard of his past transgressions, or don't believe them, and then proceed to subscribe to him and then donate to his Patreon. They'll do so at a faster pace than the ones who learn about it and then leave.

I dont hate katanas. In fact I think they are one of the weaker weapon classes right now. If frayed blade were not split damage I would have a much higher opinion of it.

and im aware that gaels wa has links against low-mid poise opponents but its inconsistent to catch them in it. Ive played around with it a lot and its a lot easier to win just by man trading with the bks weapon art, at least in my experience.

It's faster to kill him. And it's not hard to dodge his attacks.
>>
>>172796175
Compare "The Paleblood Hunt" with Vaati's video on Bloodborne.
He even starts with the same pretentious Lovecraft quote and proceeds to almost read the entire thing word for word.
>>
>>172796581
There's no point to doing it though; he automatically dies and I think he summons the player faster, making it harder on yourself, since you could've spent that time killing the painting guardian.
>>
>>172796435

It's a great catalyst on its own but the Faith requirement and the poise requirements of halberds now make it a bit tricky to work on a Sorcery build.

>tfw the most efficient build to use Tinder at meta levels always has Pyromancer as a class.

Like DS1, I would say building for pvp is primarily poise min-maxing, but poise is so niche now. I guess this is the price to pay for having lame but more fair bs in this game

Since you can respec infinitely it's pointless to force players to specialize as much as you had to in the older games too i guess

Its pretty solidly the best damage buff in the game
75% the bonus of Power Within, 8 times the duration for the same fp cost and no health cost, has low requirements, and works on allies

poise is a joke in 3

I made a char specifically to see how high I could get it in TRC, being ~51, 55 with wolf ring +3.

literally no noticable difference between 55 poise and ~30 poise.
>>
>>172795953
go finish the game so you can get boss and npc weapons that are actually worth upgrading

yhorm's greataxe, dragontooth, great club still has the best R2 in the game. Exile CGS is basically cheating, moveset and stamina consumption wise

don't fall for the "FUGS is good" meme unless you're going up to like 60 STR where that S scaling might actually produce some pretty standard numbers for all the previously mentioned weapons at ~45 str
