>>182034301
having fast reflexes matters more in DS3 than knowing how to optimize stats, boss fights feel like a bad rhythm game more than a rpg now
>>
>>182034336
rev up that washing pole bro

>>182034385
keep believing that bro

Almost every boss is about timing instead of reflexes
>>
>>182034385
You're objectively wrong.
If your reflexes are what's holding you back from properly dodging most attacks in DS3, you legally shouldn't be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.
The attacks are telegraphed and predictable, it's down to timing, not reflexes.

You can beat BB without dodgerolling, just saying.

Bloodborne is also probably the easiest game out of the franchise if you're just shooting for completion and don't care about any of the optional content.
>>
>>182034790
>>182034529
>timing instead of reflexes
that only applies to bosses where you have already memorized the moves and practiced enough to start building up muscle memory

Just because you see a boss winding up doesn't mean you know when to roll until they -actually- start their attack, which is a really narrow, reaction-time precise window in DS3 compared to DS2 or DS1, where boss wind ups were shorter

DS1/2 bosses had shorter telegraphs but they lead into attacks more sensibly instead of these jerky "REACT FAST" attacks of DS3
>>
>>182034336
Invade as a purple instead.
>>
>>182035169
What am I even reading? DS3 bosses have ridiculously long windups for the most part.

What shitters have trouble with is that they see the windup, reaction roll and then they get caught on recovery because the bosses intentionally delay attacks to rollcatch. Most bosses that hit hard in the base game have windups that last several seconds in many cases like Nameless King.

Conversely in DeS bosses like Maneaters, Flamelurker and King Allant had very quick startups and played a lot like DS3 / BB bosses.
>>
>>182035169
Thats because for the average player game would be ridiculously easy if they didn't wary the attack timings

Actually you are right, the game wasn't made to cater handicapped people like yourself, it was made to give challenge to players the past two games can no longer give.

For DS2:

For DS1:
leo ring 40/40/40 greatsword with sunlight blade, or dark bead hypermode.

Ignore him, nothing wrong with what you are doing.

But you should get some more vigor in your next levels.
>>
>>182036952
You sure?

I didn't have any pale tongues so I guess I'll go ahead and put some points in vigor
>>
>>182036657
Greatsword is weaker in its unbuffed, non-counter R2s. Everywhere else, it's a lot stronger, since it has higher base AR, can be buffed, and gains 68% damage counter damage

Dragon king greataxe requires a lot lower stats to get max damage out of though

No, ignore him >>182036952, if you're having trouble that's exactly what you need to do.
>>
>>182036682
>>182036830
the only thing wrong is the FTH leveled to use fire orb, don't bother with pyromancy unless you plan to fully commit
the str/dex is completely fine, just focus on the defensive stats instead of these for some time now
>>
>>182036682
You're fine, though you're stopping short on some of your stats.

Faith should stop 15 for replenishment (very good non-scaling faith miracle that provides passive healing at low FP cost), unless you plan on taking it all the way to 60.

Strength should stop at 27

dex should stop at 40

vigor should stop at 27 or 39

He isn't mature enough mentally to enjoy the series then. he probably should learn to chill out before playing anything requiring any semblance of skill. maybe stick to wii games
>>
>>182039535
pst, gonna let you in on a secret here:

He didn't want to play dark souls at all but felt pressured into it because people keep saying how good it is and all his friends are playing it.

I've found that most people don't ragequit dark souls because they think the game is too hard, but because it's the game's marking and hype as being "LOL PREPARE TO DIE" that makes them genuinely not able to have fun while playing because there's this constant dick measuring contest between players and the game encourages that. More about the community than the actual difficulty.

I would agree with you that was his case had he not told me he finds it too difficult and even admits to not have the patience to play it properly or effectively, he doesn't care about invaders or the community. He wanted to play with us, but in the end he lacked the skill.

Heres the thing, we tend to keep these things to ourselves to avoid conflict, we would give out advice and so forth but not in a sense that sounds condescending or rude. We're not a group of people that shit on each other, we have banter and some arguments but it certainly isn't souls related.

If he really lacked the skill but wanted to play, he would be asking for help instead of uninstalling.

It sounds like he doesn't like the gameplay, therefore he doesn't see it worth putting the effort in to be good at the game. "I don't have the skill" is just a cop-out to avoid admitting that he doesn't see the point in trying to obtain the skill.

Dark souls has a bad, bad stigma around it that most fans don't recognize. To a lot of outsiders, souls feels like a bully asking you to jump higher and higher for your lunch money, it's not a game you play because you want to feel good or have a sense of accomplishment, and that ruins the game for a lot of people. It takes more than just dying to force someone to uninstall, it means they actually don't even want to be seen playing the game at all and they will come up with any excuse to justify that.

crystal magic weapon, though thats a bit obvious.

Able to enter bossfights, or maybe not spawn like an enemy when summoned, or really just things that make mound makers more ambiguous. Nobody is going to summon something called a "mad spirit". Maybe if there were MM versions of soapstones that let you hide your sign's color. I don't know I just feel like being a mound maker sucks. Nobody is going to fall for it, you can't even enter boss rooms when summoned and even if you could nobody in their right mind would summon someone for a bossfight that would just betray them.

Invading High-Wall with a poison great club +1 feels cheap as fuck

Hell just give them a purple eye orb, and soapstone. Soapstone leaves white signs and gives the Mound maker a "Defend/Kill the host, or do X thing", while the eye gives "Kill the Host/Phantoms, and do Y thing". With both ones making you hostile to enemies as well so you can lead them to the host if you wanted or just to fuck around. Make mound makers the faction they should have been.

Putting together a high strength, maybe little bit of faith build. Im about sl60 using a heavy great club right now, planning on using ledos hammer at end game and for PvP.

This is maybe a dumb question, but is smoughs hammer good? like at all? It seems pretty shit, even for a great hammer. I kind of want to switch out the great club for something else, and I was gonna upgrade and swap to quakestone hammer, but then I remembered that smoughs exists and it got me thinking. Its tempting me. Its saying "Use me. Itll be wacky. Bad weapons are fun sometimes."

But every time Ive used a bad weapon I havent had fun, Ive just died and gotten demoralized. But is smoughs actually bad? I dont know, Ive never used it.

Oh also, is the earthseeker good? Thats another thing I forgot existed, since Ive literally never once seen someone use it in PvP.

Smough's is stupidly heavy for an unnoticeable increase in damage. Perseverance on great hammers is useless since the animation takes up like half the duration and nobody is going to be dumb enough to trade with you when it's so obvious. It simply is not worth anything at all.
Great club is probably the best great hammer and better than Ledo's in my opinion. It's R2 is godly in pvp with its reach and rollcatching capabilities. Its also MUCH lighter, allowing for more poise instead at less cost in vit.

Nah. DeS wasn't as linear, didn't handhold, had wider ranges between the build types, was much slower and more methodical and you didn't have to do fast paced combat against everything to win. DS3 is bloodborne trying really hard to appeal to DeS fans by including basic ideas, but failing to realize why those ideas were put in the game in the first place

I don't mind games where enemies drop healing items to encourage you to keep fighting and not grind

it's not alive, DSCM is just so much better at finding relevant players than DS2/DS3's server matchmaking

All souls games only have node pools of ~20 players or so, but the matchmaking is fairly shit about pooling players together when they're in the same area, DSCM is better because it pairs people based on ping and applicability to be summoned, rather than just the current SL and region you're in

Farm gargoyles at SL25, since that's the first "hard" boss where most people go human and summon solaire, and it's a good co-op boss because it's 2v1. You should set the game down once your sign is down and farm sunlight medals here, because once you start leveling up higher, it's pointless.

You could do SL35 for sen's, you might get iron golem, since he's popular to be human for summoning Tarkus, but its rare because it's split into two co-op regions I think

Your next opportunity is SL50-60 for , which shares the same properties as gargoyles, but for O&S. Co-op, solaire.

After that, you MIGHT be able to get summoned for gwyn or artorias around SL80, but don't expect much. After O&S the game goes downhill in activity really fast.

I'd say: Farm your 10 sunlight medals at SL25
Then level up to about SL65 for O&S and stop there.


>>182054507
> I want to be able to help with bosses even after I am in NG+.
Not gonna happen. Most people going to NG+ in 2017 are good enough they don't need summons, plus you can't co-op across NG versions, so once you go to NG+1 you can ONLY co-op with people in NG+1, not NG or NG+2.

Berserk was a huge and obvious thematic and stylistic inspiration. It wasn't -based- on berserk but it was heavily inspired

"subtle" homages are like all the Armored Core references in Dark Souls, the berserk references are blatant copies.

UGSs are pretty good in PvE once you get enough stamina to swing them more than twice. Theyre also pretty good in PvP IMO, but they shine more in invasions against multiple people, theyre a bit weaker in 1v1 arena duels. Or at least theyre a lot harder to use well in 1v1 duels.

The Demon's Souls world map is straight lines. If we're being pedantic, you can say that they didn't try to disguise this fact, but I assumed this post was deliberately trying to write things as negatively as possible.

I honestly think it has to do with the shitty, awful coding behind DS1. It probably treats each NG+ area as a different area code so it knows what enemy stats to load. DS2 seems to be the first game where NG+ actually appears to be a multiplier of the in-game world rather than an entirely different (software wise) set of enemies, because they have items that scale and change based on the NG+ level.

>>182055395
DeS gives you a minimum of 4-5 bosses within your level/power range to fight at any point after the tutorial stages and before end game.

DS3 gives you a MAXIMUM of 3 bosses to fight at once, unless you purposefully ignore all the optional areas until the very end of the game, then you have 5 bosses, of very wildly different power levels and clearly being played out of order.

There is no fucking way you can say that DeS is linear, especially compared to DS3.

>DeS: Non-linear, all bosses mandatory
>DS1: Linear mandatory bosses, but lots of non-linear optional bosses
>DS2: Non-linear, most bosses optional
>DS3: Linear with linear optional bosses.

Some of those are completely ridiculous
>a minotaur sort of looks like a minotaur

And the Seath/Grunbeld, Moonlight Butterfly/Rosine comparisons are beyond silly, as are the Pinwheel and Skull Knight ones. Those are horribly weak lines to draw comparisons from.

On the other hand, the rest are pretty blatant, so there's that.

DeS world map is a spider web that spirals out from the center.

progression goes 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1 , 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2

No, it's 5 linear paths where one of them can't be finished first. You can get some advantages from doing them in specific orders, but that is never needed.

>No, it's 5 linear paths
if you have 5 options then it's not linear

it's zig-zagging at best.

A linear game is where you always have to go from point A>B>C>D. A non-linear game is one where you can do A>B>C>D but also >D>C>B>A or >C>D>A>B etc.

I think I'm interpreting this differently than you.
You can jump from place to place in Demon's Souls, but if I drew out the world map for the game, we would be looking at straight lines. That's the point I was trying to make; that from a layout perspective, the game is straight lines.
From a gameplay perspective though, you're right. You can jump from place to place in the order you want, and you're never locked into one path.

>but if I drew out the world map for the game, we would be looking at straight lines

So you're saying that all souls games are linear because you don't revisit old maps but instead always go from one to the next?

My point in calling DS3 linear was that there's not -variety- in how you approach the order and progression in the game. Which is the worst possible sin to commit in a From Soft game, since variety in the gameplay (either your build, the levels you choose, or the mechanics you employ) is the #1 thing that makes them different from every other shitty RPG developer out there. Their entire formula is based on it

Wife miscarried twice, then left him, currently fighting for custody of their daughter.

He took a break from Dark Souls and got some good traction playing Witcher 3, unfortunately one of the early main quests has you banishing a baby-demon from a castle, a horrible misfigured baby ghost that occurs when a woman miscarriages under tragic circumstances, Im not even kidding. Suffice to say he dropped Witcher 3 quicker than hell and is now barely active on youtube, only playing occasional weeaboo games.

So if I want to be a massive lv120 meta tryhard and pump dex to 80, what do I set str to, 14 or 16?
>>
>>182064791
16 for most weapons, 18 if you want to use Black Knight Shield and 1H Washing Pole.
>>
>>182064791
18

Black Knight Shield is essential with Lothric Knight Sword and Estoc.

Although if you want to try the hardest you're better off using a dark build.

I don't understand 80 dex. You get like 30 AR for 50 levels. Just pump that on other stats like vigor, end and vit.

it wasn't led by miazaki and takes a different direction from DeS and DaS1. It made a lot of people (including me at the time) very angry because it went from 2-4 enemies max at a time to 5+ most of the times.
It also made iframes tied to the ADP stat.
After finishing all four souls games multiple times i actually like 2 way more than 3 because 2 still feels like a souls game while 3 lost that.

Personal and popular opinions here.
>>
>>182065259
It's weak at what the other games in the series are typically good at/do well.
On the other hand, it's also better at what the other games tend to not be so good at.
Also, disappointment that the game that was released wasn't the same as the game that was expected.
I think it's a great game, but not everyone does, obviously.

>>182065416
Because you can reach the vig/end softcaps and still get 80 dex below SL 125?

Also you generally gain ~70 AR from 40-80 dex on smaller weapons and 100+ on big weapons.

ADP, the world was somewhat contrived, and the bosses were often uninspired.

I think it's a good game in retrospect though, and most of my complaints with it came from a shitty, "DaS design is law" perspective.

>reaction-time precise
Yeah it's not like after you've seen the attack and it's timing that you know how to dodge it. Even DS2 bosses were more reaction time based after they started holding identically telegraphed attacks, DS3 bosses don't ever delay to catch timing, there movesets are merely crafted to punish panic.
>>
>>182065259
It made a lot of very strange decisions and mechanical changes that seem nonsensical but are mostly the result of a development cycle that can kindly be described as 'Hindenburg-esque', and unkindly described as 'Absolutely fucked'.

The result is a game which focuses on the wrong things, detracts from the right things in favour of the wrong things, and has a bunch of great ideas buried below a ton of shit ones, jammed onto a movement engine which appears to have been mutilated horribly somewhere along the line, and a lighting system that seems to have, at one time, been a good idea but was aborted in the most bloody way possible.

It's a great game which adopted the clothing and lifestyle of a really shitty game while it was being made, like a dotcom billionaire who got screwed super hard and ended up sucking dicks in a public bathroom to pay rent.

A sad story, to be sure.

Did a lot of things that differed from 1, some of them good, some of them bad, some of the personal preference.

2 did a lot of things the series kept, for better or worse, it just did them while combined with overall pretty subpar world design and massive changes to combat that left people bitching about it more than they probably should have, which resulted in the 3 that we currently have. Half the game is a reference to 3 in an attempt to appease the lore fans and the other half is blooborne style combat because fast dudes with fast swings was the only way to counter fast and amazingly good rolls and the only way the series could keep challenge without being labled "slow and clunky like 2" with its single R2's taking over half your stamina bar in the early game.

>>
>>182068139
Use a 26/40 or 40/40 Quality build with the require 10 INT. Either raise INT to 18 to use Snap Freeze to synergize with the WAs frost damage or invest in Faith up to 18 for healing miracles and to use Filianore's Chime WA. Be a generally passive player and reaction punish everything and you'll be practically unstoppable.

There's a double standard with DS2, mostly because a lot of players feel "cheated" by how different it was and that it wasn't a direct sequel to DS1. The marketing and videos leading up to development messed with people's expectations when in reality the game was not designed for fans of DS1 at all, but for a larger, JP focused audience.

That means that a lot of people feel a sense of animosity from the developers, as if they actually didn't actually want to make a good game and were being deliberately negligent.

When DS1 does something bad, it's an unfortunate part of a "good" game and is quickly overlooked
When DS1 does something good, it's an innovative stroke of Miyazaki's genius and all other games are inferior for not having it

When DS2 does something bad, it's a huge, game-breaking flaw that forces players to boycott the game entirely
When DS2 does something good, it's an unintentional coincidence that was implemented too poorly anyway to make up for the bad parts

It's a curved sword. You wait for them to attack then you punish them for having the gall to attempt to do damage.
>>
>>182068774
You can't lie if you don't know the truth.

DS2 was basically built out from scratch less than 6 months from its original release date before being delayed, the first year of hype and development was around a prototype product that miyazaki's pick for director fucked up and they had to bring in the king's field and armored core creative team to fix.

i agree with >>182068774, they lied about a lot of stuff. and i agree that i was one of those fags hating DS2 because it broke everything DeS and DaS had already cemented in terms of lore and world-building.

DS2 is a pretty decent game after they patched a lot of things and added the DLCs and i'm enjoying it way way more than DS3. I still haven't forced myself to finish the TRC dlc for it. i killed the demon bosses in two tries and got bored again
>>
>>182068939
This is one of the more ironic things about the people that blame Tanimura for how DaS2 turned out. Ultimately the blame for the fucked up development cycle can still be laid at Miyazaki's feet, since he's the one who put Shibuya in charge in the first place despite the latter having no actual directing experience.

Just like 90% of the weapons in this shitty game. DaS3 pvp is the worst.

DaS PvP was the worst in the entire Dark Souls series. Ds2 was the only time in the entire Souls series, including Demon's and Bloodborne, where PvP was ever even attempting to be balanced.

>>182070270
Whoops, people have rose tinted goggles for DaS but it is legitimately irredeemable, "High level play" is completely and exclusively based around the exploitation of glitches and backstabs. If the devs were more competent at coding player interaction, they would have had their way and after you got poise broken once you would have been stunlocked to death by everything.

Ninja flipping havelmom lagstab fishing in DaS was easily the worst but this cold war bullshit in DaS3 gives me a migraine. End-game pvp is just 'don't attack ever, whoever attacks first takes damage'

>There's a double standard with DS2, mostly because a lot of players feel "cheated" by how different it was and that it wasn't a direct sequel to DS1

You are being too kind to DaS2. Yes the game played differently to DaS, yes it was marketing was misleading, but it doesn't excuse for the horrible world design, level design and boss design.

Those three are the reason why DaS2 sucked, not because it was too different from what people expected.

I've enjoyed (and am enjoying) my time with it. I can acknowledge some of the problems it has though. Mainly with certain things starting to do obscene damage. The potential to have a gear treadmill in a fucking game like this. And the fact that (so far) the postgame missions you get are all what I'd say could probably be called genuine artifical difficulty; things like having you fight waves and waves of revs and then two bosses, and just double-boss battles where the two bosses clearly aren't made to work together and feel like they've been dumped into a small arena together because "lmao it's hard, right? that's what the players want".

I'm playing DS2 after finishing Bloodborne, and I just beat the SkeleLords. I'm not really having that much fun, though.

So, I'm thinking about replaying dark souls 2 again after finishing pure arcane build run in the old hunters
Which build would be the most fun:
Turtle knight? Not sure how to get their mace
Archer?
Or hex mage?
>>
>>182071853
DS2 has a habit of making ambushes you can deal with ahead of time by exploring the level and in general has a really odd approach to group encounter design, it's not to everyones liking though.
>>
>>182072993
The turtle knight mace doesn't exist in game, only approximate facsimiles
>>
>>182072993
STR + Faith, greathammers with endgame being giant warrior club/smelter hammer, it's kind of hilarious how much damage and how consistent it is. Slightly over 2k damage from just 2 R1's 3k combos with running-R1-R1 and it does that much against pretty much everything in the game except for things that are weak to lightning which take even more.
Since the damage is so high and it doesn't rely on counter hits to work you end up doing around 1k per swing to even endgame elemental resistant bosses like Reimu and Blue Smelter.
>>
>>182072993
No real point in playing turtle knight since there's no way to actually get backstabbed by enemies (pretty sure that there are very few grab attacks in the game alone, much less backstab attacks).

Archer builds are boring as all hell and not conducive to SM.

Hexers are decent fun but done to hell and back. It's either sit back and Dark Orb, or buff with Papa Nito's Giant Popsicle of Chunking.

Power-stancing can be pretty fun, but require massive investments in Endurance in the game where 20 is the soft cap.

Warrior is better for pure melee if you don't care about poise or WAs.

K***ht is better for all-around builds if you intend to use WAs, the occasional utility spell or ultra weapons.

lost izalith had the same amount of dragon asses, but they had an aggro range of like half the zone. so you had to pull like three, kill them and then run like hell unless you wanted to fight for 500 years until you cleared almost all of them. and if you didn't find the hidden bonfire, you had to do it all over again.

I prefer warrior for my SL35-45 invasion characters, but I use knight for most levels above that
>>
>>182078471
What? Knight and Warrior are essentially identical for vitality, arguably Warrior has better vitality potential if you don't want to be using spells or too many weapon arts due to the freed up point from the casting stats. The lower starting vitality is completely balanced by the lower starting attunement.

Warrior has a 4 point gain from knight for both attunement and vitality
Knight has a 4 point gain from warrior for luck
If you want vitality, warrior's first 4 point gain covers the 4 point loss from pumping vitality to parity
However, warrior has another point free from the casting stats, something that knight simply does not have. It's a question whether or not you think you will be using weapon arts enough to sacrifice one point potential for ~21 more max FP. If you think you want that, go for it. On the other hand, Knight is unmatched if you want both poise and a single utility spell like Blessed Weapon or ToD

Hello /dsg/. I am confused about when to use certain gems. Currently I am at the end of my first playthrough I have gone the Hollow Gem route for my main weapons. My stats now are 41 Luck, 40 Dex and 30 Strength.

For my next playthrough I want to continue the hollow gem route because I actually played this entire game without going hollow, only realizing too late that doing so would have further boosted my luck stat. However I don't want to limit myself to only weapons with bleed as an aux effect. As much as I love my Carthus curved sword and Carthus Curved Greatsword, I am desperately bored of them. I also have no interest in using any of the Katana weapons.

Thus my main question is: when inufsing a weapon with no auxiliary bleed damage, should I go the Hollow route and rely on using the Carthus Rouge buff route or should I go the Bleed Gem route and thus compensate for the weapon not having any innate bleed damage?

Thank you for any advice!
>>
>>182079505
I think the only way is to play it on PS3 and delete the patches. That's how I did it.
>>
>>182078821
Warrior has a total of 5 less points in "unessential" stat categories (Attunement, Vitality, Faith, Intelligence and Luck). If you only care about Vigor, Endurance, Str and Dex then you have a few more points to play around with.

Ultimately it doesn't matter that much, but K***ht is generally considered the more flexible class because of the extra base Attunement (just enough to give you a single slot) and less waste Luck (which does shit-all for actual builds).
>>
>>182079505
But it on console (360 or PS3) play offline with no patches. Like delete it all and the you should be able to.
>>
>>182079620
Hollow is super mediocre without auxilliary effects.
>>
>>182079706
It's literally 21 extra max FP. Sure luck is garbage and completely wasted but 21 FP is only 1-4 extra weapon arts used, depending on their importance. Sure, knight IS a better all rounder because it has better compatibility with utility spells, but for a dead set pure melee fighter, warrior outclasses knight by quite a lot. Unless you are one of those super casuals that leveled up to 140, 5 points is the difference between having enough poise to trade and never utilizing hyper armor on anything less than an untragreat well

Also, when I said "learn magic" I didn't just mean become a pure caster. Magic also involves support and spells that aren't for DPS. If you refuse how to mix some of that stuff in you're missing out on a bunch of additional content that makes combat more interesting/fulfilling.

Yeah, I'm with you on the level design in Undead Burg feeling really "clever".
I feel like every time the developers used more than 1 bonfire per are! not counting boss bonfire/lamps the area didn't feel as clever / compact. Heck, not even BB is completely exempt from this as Yahar'gul has an extra lamp that'd be honestly kind of unnecessary if they had connected the level into itself a bit better.

But Grand Archives, CotD, Dungeon, Catacombs and Lothicc High Wall and Castle are imo cleverly desgned levels.

Honestly looking at the concept art I feel like its kind of a shame they went for the whole "Transiant land where everything is mushed together" theme, as little sense world wise the DS2 teleports it would still be far more interesting if you had more backgrounds to work with.
You can easily imagine Lothric castle being on a peak of a mountainous area like the DS 1 undead asylum, there is going full CoD and having nothing but pretty skyboxes, but variety really is a nice thing to have.

Fromsoft got it right in Demon's Souls and Bloodborne.

And I don't know which boss in DS3 is supposedly a "slog" to get to, most bosses are right next to a shortcut / bonfire.

60-70 generally gives about at much AR as going from 40-60.
70-80 increases AR at about the same rate as it does between 40 and 60.

So don't stress about needing to go all the way to 80, on most weapons going to about 71 will give you the bulk of the extra bonus if you can't fit in more levels.

It combos into an R1 if it you start it from a distance and land it or they are only stunned once by it. If you do it too close they are able to escape due to how stun mechanics works.

You won't be banned forever, but the time it takes to get unbanned seems to range from a few weeks to upwards of a year.

Ledo's.

Seriously though I'm pissed at that too.

Ledo is honestly cool as a character but I'm still pissed we didn't get that rad as fuck Millwood/Silver Knight armor.
>>
>>182103027
You can't edit your soul TOTAL because that raises flags.

You have to edit a number that is a floating value of "how many souls did you just gain" - the same value that pops up after you kill a mob as +100 or whatever before it gets added to your total.

Made a new character and rammed him to 60 once a few months ago by just earning 9 million souls from a hollow - doesn't raise any flags because you're not doing anything you can't naturally do anyway.

Is it possible to complete every NPC's questline, get all pyromancies soceries and miracles, and get the Usurpation of Fire ending in one playthrough?
>>
>>182106176
Well, you still need to kill Anri, but I guess that's technically completing her questline. I think you can.

Yes, but you're going to have a very busy playthrough
>>

The only things I think you can't do in one cycle is all gestures (unless failing Sirris' quest), all rings and all endings unless you backup and reload save data.

>>182106176
Nope

Sirris Questline and Yellowfinger's miniquest are both mutually exclusive

Reading the wiki pages for each NPC and reading the ending requirements is making me not want to play because I fear I will miss something.
>>
>>182106821
You can't complete every quest line in the game. That's what new game plus is for anon. Accept it or not
>>
>>182106821
Well, for pyromancies and sorceries, just give all the tomes to Cornyx and Karla, and the scrolls to Orbeck. Pick up all the loose ones and transpose all the boss souls for the same ones. Ditto with miracles, but remember to get Yuria out to get the Londor tome.
>>182107058
I think you can actually. I believe that Leonhard's can be picked up after Sirris dies naturally, but I could be wrong.
>>
>>182107058
Which ones can you not complete? Aside from the different ending questlines anyway.
>>
>>182106821
Probably following whatever guide they have on Gamefaqs.
I imagine that would be a huge pain in the ass though, having to constantly read through paragraphs as you shuffle through the game.

So I noticed that the Lothric War Banner buff lingers for a second after you switch weapons, is it possible to parry, switch and riposte with the extra buff damage? If so I'd imagine it wouldn't work with the Hornet ring because of the animation.

You can't complete both quests, but neither gives any spells or are required to usurp the fire. You lose out on Gestures and Rings depending on how you approach it, which do have their own cheevies, as well as weapons and armor, which don't.
>>
>>182107307
Im also playing two characters at the same time. I clear one zone and jump on the other to do the same. I'm sure I can find all the spells online, but I can't find a good guide that covers all NPC quests as well as the 4th ending.

>>182107397
No, you can get the Obscuring Ring and the Cat Ring in the same run, just give the Tongues after getting the Cat Ring. It's the gesture that you'll miss.

Alright dsg, how do I get good?

I'm a sword/pyro build. Trying to beat Oceiros so I can get the dragon head stone and prisoner's chain. I'm SL 59 +6 chaos longsword and +6 pyro flame 23/23 int/fth (first run of ds3).

I've been trying to just huck blackfire orbs at him and it works pretty well until the second phase where I just get charged and killed while I'm casting.

Also, any tips for reliably getting to the boss fog? Those little blue shits and the big knights seem like they're really RNG to fight/run past sometimes.
>>
>>182109809
Dragon Barracks. Drop down from the bridge, kill one, then the other.

Make sure you let them transform before you geek them. Just walk close to them and they change.
>>
>>182110053
You can't kill Oceiros second phase by staying at range, his charge is one of the most bullshit moves in the game.

Hug his tail and stab him in the ass
>>
>>182110053
2nd phase just hug his nuts. Hit box works weird that way, and it's better to avoid damage from him.
>>
>>182108171
too bad that nigger keeps darting all over the fucking place

The only way i could get him to stay still was hit head->rune behind for tail for 2-3 strikes, dodge tailshit, rinse and repeat

Shit still takes 10 minutes and its boring as fuck

Had to do the same thing with my sorcerer because i couldnt even cast PM let alone have him stand in it.
>>
Why do people say the camera is bad in souls games and how could from fix it?
