Sir Lance Alot reporting.
Darklurker, Ancient Dragon and Vendrick are no more.
I'm saving Throne duo, Nashandra and Aldia for the end, when I'll try to defeat them in one go, so I'm going to start clearing the co-optional areas next.

I recorded Darklurker expecting it to be more interesting, but it was much easier than I remember despite some clumsy moments of mine. Maybe it's because I overprepared for it and stacked elemental resistances.

What's the most beautiful waifu you have created in Dark Souls or Bloodborne?
>>
>>187323069
The problem is that roll-catching as a technique is necessary in the first place. If a guy rolls, you should be able to more easily punish the recovery frames instead of having to time an R1 in the midst of roll spam. Same for when he shamelessly pulls out his sippy-bottle a bare 15 feet away from you.

>>187323830
The latter implies the former. You can't have a well developed character that hasn't undergone any character development.

You can have a good character with no character development, which is something that Dark Souls as a series does very well.

Maybe I'm just being nitpicky and we have different definitions.

Watching ENB's stream but I gotta head off to work in a few hours. Depending on when he stops I might have time to put some playtime into DS3 or BB. Although now that Marcus has been doing Dark Souls 1 lately, I might grab a used copy of Dark Souls 1 for the PS3 and try to join him. I only have Demon's Souls on the PS3 because the only reason I have it in the first place is for that game.

That was actually the "intended" way of fighting it. You would free them, and the demon would go for them, feasting upon them and give you free hit in.

Too bad the fight is a pushover and it doesn't have much health.

>>
>>187327283
Ashes have an incredible Boss fight, but the price is so stupid that it hurts.

The amount of content you get from AoA compared to the price is laughable.

The amount of content you get from Ringed City is on the right track.

Still, I'd get Season Pass if you want to get the full story.
>>
>>187327275
window mode? or borderless fullscreen for das and an autohotkey script for keeping windows on top for the das_gg window

something like
#a::
{
WinGet, active_id, ID, A
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle, ahk_id %active_id%
return
}

pressing win+a will toggle the currently active window to be always on top

>>187327283
Season pass, because you save the most money that way. AoA is a disappointment, but it does have decent content.
>>
>>187327283
you miss out on 1 really good boss fight, a few cool weapons/armors and the pvp arena (i think). the story also ties into the ringed city story directly and it's also accessible early which helps with the game's linearity problems (though it's reccomended to not actually play through it properly until higher leveled, you can still run in and explore or w/e)

it's short and not worth it in terms of content to cost ratio but bear in mind you'll probably play through it a few times and the good shit is really good
>>
>>187327912
PvP Arena is granted to you in Ringed City if you didn't receive it in AoA.
>>
>>187327912
You can gain access to the arena via TRC too. You just have to either complete an NPC's questline, or kill him.

it was intended to be on the same difficulty tier as dragonrider or last giant but since you have to kill dragonrider and skeleton lords first it seems like they just threw the enemy there for no reason. Even the soul rewards are lower than those other bosses.

It would make sense if Covetous was available as a first boss fight, since that would be a "if you get hit, you die instantly, but if you use the area gimmick, he'll never aggro on you" kind of fight. But by the time you reach him most people can survive at least one hit, trivializing the fight.

I'm redoing Dark Souls 1 for the Knight's Honor achievement and I rang both bells and did Pinwheel. I was going to buy Homeward before heading of to Sen's but Petrus went with them to the Tomb of the Giants or something. When does he return?

Gotta say anons. Sen's fortress isn't too bad once you've cleared it a few times. Boss is pretty easy too. You dont even really need to fight him yourself when you can just summon that NPC guy to do it for you.
(I 1v1'd everyone already a few times in my previous playthroughs. Sometimes summoning speeds it up a bit if you just want to run through the game as quick as possible)

Level 45 Dex Pyro in Anor Londo now. Added Lightning Spear to go with my Uchigatana, and a grass crest shield for that stamina regen.
Not all at once sadly. I forgot to go back for Havel to get his damn ring.

Just trying to get the lordvessel as quick as possible. Always a pain not having the ability to teleport from the get go like you can in the other games, but the shortcuts help a bit I suppose.

Sorcery is really good in DS1. Well in PvE anyway.
Pyros a bit better for skirmishes up close and for not needing stats so much, and sorcery doesn't have the range bows have of course, but you have magic weapons that scale really well so you can have a fast off-hand, and you can do some ridiculous damage and have a ridiculous amounts of soul arrows with the right equips.

You can just clear entire areas sniping away like a madman. Even magic resistant enemies like crystal golems in the Dukes archives you can brute force with magic before they can even reach you.

spellswords are fun in all the games

paladin type characters with backup replenishment/defensive spells are fun in all the games

pure casters are the weakest they've ever been in dark souls 3, so you definitely want to go with some sort of melee + spellcaster hybrid if you try it out

if you ever want to try a pure spell caster i would recommend dark souls 1 or 2 since they're not that great or interesting in 3

>>187332861
Oh I dont disagree anon. Being able to teleport is great once you can revisit the game on a future playthrough.

But, DS2 for instance, feels like it has a different design philosophy to DS1, in the sense that DS1 expects you to run whole areas as a guantlet, picking and choosing which route you want to take, before going a different path thats now a bit easier and reaping rewards you are looking for. Its very flexible in the early game which parts you tackle in what order, and the shortcuts let you jump between areas that are usually appropriate to your level range. Once you are strong/skillfull enough, you can skip entire segments and move onto the next layer of content. You dont necessarily need to beat Sif when you get to the woods you can do it a lot later when you actually need to, but at the same time it can be good to do it earlier for a fairer challenge. I dont think you even really need to beat the Moonlight Butterfly at all in any playthrough, but its good to do for the souls and its decent weapon, and its easy to find and you can easily do it before or after Pinwheel.

But DS2 has areas so long-winded and maze-like it kind of expects you to do it in segments and backtrack to other areas and do chunks of that, and not find all the bosses in one go, and come back to the old area and explore some more. So teleporting in that instance makes sense for it to be available since its a bit more linear in progression and rigid in what order you do things in and just plain longer to get anywhere.

Thats the real tradeoff here. The bigger you make a souls game the more you need teleporting as a crutch due to the tedium and easy death DS typically designs itself around.
A game designer cant expect a player to backtrack all the way the length of say: undead asylum from the dukes archives. You'd be mighty pissed if you died in that length of time and lost a load of souls.

DS2 is episodic, like DeS. You pick one area, you go through it for the loot, then you return to majula and decide the next area you want to go to, or if you want to re-do a previous area with a bonfire ascetic this time, and you just simply build up enough souls until more of the game unlocks.

There's no real intended path through DS2 except for the end rush.

The main way to progress in DeS is killing bosses in episodes.
The main way to progress in DS1 is opening shortcuts.
The main way to progress in DS2 is clearing areas in episodes.
The main way to progress in DS3 is killing bosses in sequence.

I continued my pyromancer on Ds3. I'm still not sure about the stats. Wether I should go 25 int/ 25 fai or 30/30. I'm also not entirely sure about str and dex yet (planned to have them about equal, 27 str and like 25 skl), but if I fuck up I can just reset my stats.
I'm posting this in detail because I also seek advice from you guys. I'm also adding a image because I know that posts with images get read more often.

Nah, 40/40. I do think you get slightly more magadj before 30/30 but unless you're staying lower level or something pyros should really go for 40/40. Dark/chaos infused weapons are until 30/30 though.

>>
>>187337620
Spellbuff scaling is different from weapon scaling. Catalysts that scale in 1 stat seem to softcap at 60, catalysts that scale in 2 stats seem to softcap at 40/40.

Example, 40 to 60 intelligence on the highest scaling staff is 40% more damage.

But 40 to 60 int/fth on pyromancy flame is only 7% more damage.

So 40/40 is the softcap. It seems to increase pretty much linearly up to that point.

When you're embered, those numbers increase by 30%. Also, damage values are lower, so ~1000 vigor is roughly equivalent to 1500 HP in DS2.

So having 27 vigor in DS3 is like having 1500 HP in DS2. Enough for the pve but you'll get wrecked in pvp because you can't survive an extra 2 hits.

Well maybe you don't want to see ensis and marcus doing a stream together but I'd definitely like that.
She could sit in his lap and he could put his arms around her while holding the controller and running his fingers over the tips of her analogs while she's playing. And while they're co-oping she could playfully fiddle his joystick to test whether it's stiff or whether it's movement is just right. Then they can do some grinding together and explore their characters' limits. If they have a two console setup she can handle marcus' hardware while he takes care of inserting cartridges into her machine. Then at the end she can relax while marcus gives her all of his juices as refreshment!

It'd be a fun stream experience for everyone involved.

>>187342487
any standardly good weapon (eg rapier, fire longsword) is a good pick, there's also a dark infused scythe you can pick up pretty early in shaded woods and the chaos rapier sold by felkin as good early game choices

there's an early darkknight stone if you head down the pit at majula, go down to the very bottom and there's a crystal lizard on the bridge which drops one, you can use that to infuse almost any weapon then buff it with a dark weapon hex for really nice damage

later on the crypt blacksword (ng+rotten, high str reqs), velstadt's hammer (velstadt, high str reqs) and the fume sword(fume knight, high dex reqs) are all pretty great

It'd be nice to see them do some pvp. He would probably coat his weapon in the carthus ointment so he could make the sis bleed as if it was her first time doing pvp with marcus. He could try to circle to her backside to crit the vulnerable behind for a bit and then finish her off by combusting on her face.

Nah, the biggest sin was people who weren't aware of how From Software handles sequels. Each generation of Armored Core feels extremely different from the previous one, and it's only inter-generational titles and spiritual successors that actually look similar.

The gameplay, some mechanics, ideas, and general themes always stay, but the visual style and setting always changes.

It was only casuals/newbies that got into the franchise first with DS1 that had never played a previous From Soft game that were confused.
>>
>>187343932
If you can land a hit with R2 or WA when the enemy is in counter frames, then sure it's a nice boost, but I would rather use wolf ring and stack poise to reach the breakpoint, since it's so goddamn light.

A fully-charged R2 can do a disgusting amount of damage if it lands right.
>>
>>187343932
same as any other thrust weapon. The counter bonus goes from 30% to 50% (15% increase)

So if you were doing 400 normally, 520 on counter, you now do 600 on counter, so an extra 80 damage.

There are a lot of other ways to get a 15% increase across the board but I think Leo Ring is immune to the pvp nerfs that things like power within, sacred oath, and lloyd's sword ring suffer from.

It's really good if you think of it as an exploration game, not as a puzzle game like DeS was. Most of the levels are flat open areas with enemies just minding their own business, because that's what it would look like if you stumbled across them.

Some people really don't like it when a video game is too obviously a video game and it feels like they're going through the developer's hoops each time they go through a level. DeS and DS1 really suffer from that.

Frozen outskirts is probably the best example. It doesn't feel at all like you're "supposed" to be there, and navigating it is extremely unintuitive and requires orienting yourself

DS3's levels are basically DS2 style levels but done better. DS1 levels are DeS levels but done worse.

you don't have to wait until you're +10 to infuse, you can infuse at any upgrade level and it will be fine

it depends on what you're relying on most, if you're mostly spellcasting with melee as backup then infuse your staff first, otherwise infuse your weapon and buff it with dark weapon (sold by felkin) for good damage, you'll want to infuse both eventually though

I've always wondered why there were menu seams (you can literally see slivers and gaps where things aren't lined up) and now looking at the raw textures i can see why.

They needlessly chopped up everything and spliced it into square textures when they could've just had full frame 1280x720 textures instead without any messing around.

Literally load of das1 and open the browse/change equip menu and look on the right of it. There's a big transparent line cutting through it because Takeshi-san couldn't fucking get a grasp on coordinates and positioning.

It's a holdover from the PS2 days when they were trying to fit tons and tons and tons of weapons onto a single disc. Literally 70% of armored core last raven's disc is just part stats and graphical models, the other 30% is all the menus and gameplay, so it makes sense that they would constantly try to heavily compress whatever they could into chopped up bits like that.

50 is, practically speaking, the hard cap on Str, Dex, Int and Fai. And even for Int/Fai you never go over 30/30 or 60 total since you can Spice down anything you want to use (literally only 3 spells gain actual benefits beyond certain numbers). Those 30 levels are completely wasted since you could be putting them into Attunement or Vigor instead.

It makes no sense though because there are other textures and elements being called during actual gameplay that are way bigger in both dimension and filesize. Routinely fetching a load of 512x512's for just one armour set.

Why you wouldn't just save yourself a nightmare of positioning to just save out some of these elements full frame I won't understand, very weird priorities. I get if they were really trying to scrape every byte, but there's no excuse for that horrid positioning. Someone dragged some planes on without and regard for their x or y or height or width and then poorly uvmapped their chopped texture onto it, they could've spent less time with 1 plane and 1 non chopped texture and it'd be done.

yes I'm mad
>>
>>187348868
30/30 isn't a great idea because 20 to 30 is the lowest scaling gains, with 30 to 40 being the highest. If you stop at 30/30 you only have good dark/pyro scaling but you suck everywhere else. You also have to use way more spice than what is available in the game.

50/30, 40/40, or 30/50 gives you access to full scaling of at least 3 elements and you don't have to waste as much spice, since hexes favor one or the other.

30/30 is good if you're doing a str/dex build that also has hexing, but for a pure hexer it's just too low.

If you go 30/30 you have shit scaling for lightning and faith, so anyone with high dark defense can hard counter your hexes. AND you have to waste tons of spices.

But if you go 50/30 you get max faith scaling on top of your hexing, and you don't have to waste a ton of spices on the faith hexes.

Assuming you start directly next to the target when he starts his roll, a rollcatch with any weapon longer than about 15SP is a guaranteed rollcatch if you aren't a shitter

Bonfire Ascetics.

You can mod DS1 to do that, it's part of one of the aggression mods I believe.

DS2 has covenant of champions, which isn't "true" NG+ (it gives NG+ difficulty but not soul or item drops) though I think you can use cheat engine to advance a game to NG+ at the start of the game. And of course, bonfire ascetics reset most things to NG+ levels.

DS3 has no known method.

I used to invade a ton, but after coming back to the game even worse than I was back then, I don't know if jumping straight into Pontiff's would be a good idea. Are there any other fun areas to invade? I'm on PS4 if you potentially want to play together.

Try invading archives or the DLC's.

I mostly invade Grand Archive around SL80, sometimes Cathedral of the Deep on my SL32 character, and very rarely Carthus on my SL40.

Is BCing out cowardice or a tactic?
How can I make any adjustments to my Vigor, Endurance, Vitality, rings and armor to make everything more suited for invasions? I cannot ring swap for the life of me and the combination of my armor and shield are meant so I can be at 69.9% with up to 20 units of weight for weapons.

Crystaling out is always a legitimate option if you don't think you can kill the host, it's always smart to know when to retreat and dying just gives the host and phantoms back some estus.

BCing out just says you don't want to fight them. Whether or not that's a coward move depends on the context. I BC out of obvious gank squads to deny them fun.

Blacking out is a pretty good option if you encounter a 4v1 ganksquad who won't chase you/has already killed every mob in the zone. Take a few greatbow potshots until they hide in a corner or behind a doorway, fuck with them a little by throwing some bombs or a couple of R1s and then sprinting away, then just black out and deny them the satisfaction of a gank.

There's absolutely no reason that anyone would go into the DaS3 equivalent of a Chalice Dungeon though. Any weapon infusion/upgrade materials you need/want, you can buy or farm, short of Slabs. 99% of all consumables can also be purchased or farmed. Uncanny/Lost variants of weapons don't exist. So, what would you be rewarded with by spelunking?

Things they could add in DaS Dungeons.
-Better Drop Rate for Covenant Items.
-Higher Drop rate for Chunks/Slabs
-Fighting Boss again for their Souls
-+2 Version of Rings without actually going next NG.
-Boss Rush Dungeon.
- Recolored Weapons/Armor
>>
>>187373304
Why do you think I'd be retarded enough to assume they wouldn't implement a reason to do chalice dungeons if they were going to add them?

Make uncanny/lost variants of weapons and spells exist and then balance everything downwards a little to account for gems. DaS3's infusion system would fit with the BB gem system really well, actually. Make some more powerful versions of standard consumables and have those be rewards, too. Budding green blossoms, very slightly more powerful resins and bundles, charms with a tiny bit more AoE, all that jazz. Colour variations of armour or dungeon specific armour sets. I'm not talking huge bonuses, something like +100 fire damage on an advanced charcoal resin instead of +85. Practical difference in actual combat is nothing but people would still do it, you know they would.

Weapon arts?!

I come to you with fantistkc idea! Imagine it!

Shield of power, shield of purity! A great shield of chaotic design! Its polished face reflectance of the opponent striking it, but for each point of stamina they drain, they take the the damage to their life! The stability is high, at least 78, so this is very dangerous!

But what's more, the weapon art, their reflection phantasmAL hand reaches out from within the shield and knocks them down with a swift guard-breaking punch!

The best part is it could recall the mirror knigbt! Think of the lore it would reveal!

Be aggressive during phase one and keep your ears open. During phase two, keep most of your focus on Ariandel. In phase three, focus on surviving her disappearing act and the rest of the fight should just be difficult, but doable.
If all else fails, you can summon Gael without using an ember, but he won't show up until phase two and he'll very likely die in the middle of phase three.

I've been invading with Arstor's Spear and Storyteller's Staff as a level 51 in Jail.
Neither is amazing. Any decent player will have poison moss either on their bar, or quick slots. But I love using Poison, and I love spears.
However, I'm kinda sick of doing chip damage over a long period to the most basic scrubs while trying as hard as I can for a win.

What's a decent weapon to apply poison using rotten pine resin, but also has high damage, decent speed and such.

the only part where they are similar is the inlay from the crossguard and halfway up the blade

DS3, haven't played in ages. Running 40 STR, 20 dex. Best weapon? Anything good released in the DLC?

Twinaxes are really good in PvE, but if you want to get the most out of STR weapons you should try getting 60/16.
>>
>>187393886
PVE?
Storyteller's staff paired with Dorhy's Gnawing will break most bosses or harder enemies.
I summoned a guy for pontiff earlier today who was doing this. Applied poison then spammed Dorhy's Gnawing. Pontiff died in about 15 seconds.

At 40 Str and 20 Dex, I'd say Lothric Knight Greatsword might be good. If you want to respec though, just use the free respec glitch. May it never be patched

>>187396732
God, that sounds fucking awful.

My favorite part about the first Dark Souls game was how many different playstyles you could go for (blocking character, dodging character, ranged dodging character, mag character, etc) and how every playstyle made the game both easier and harder at different points. For instance, with a melee character Moonlight butterfly can be pretty difficult but if you're using ranged attacks the boss becomes a pushover. It made the game feel different on my three playthroughs of it and it added a lot to the experience.

I mean I'll 1v1 any day of the week no problem, but I'm not talking about that. Do they really expect me to run into a 1v3 meat grinder straight-up? Aren't they the pussy for hugging the bonfire when you have triple the people, more healing, more life, potentially overleveled phantoms wearing full havels and throwing near one shot fireballs, and running away so you can resummon them again if they die, with way of the blue on just in case?

Like no shit I'm gonna use the mobs, fuck you you piece of shit. You're the one who has to make it to the end of the level, not me. Stop being a pussy and actually play the game, the mobs don't even really even the odds most of the time they just provide enough of a distraction to give me a chance by myself.

I just gave a tounge to rosaria before finishing Sirris quest and now her sign at the Irithyll bridge doesn't appear. Is there still a way for me to get the silvercat ring except NG+? If not then that would be really annoying because I just miss out on a quest and a great item because I joint a covenant. And I'm pretty sure that up to that point no one mentions the Darkmoon vs Fingers rivilary, or maybe I just missed it, but iirc the Darkmoon covenant description mentions it first and that is after you can join rosaria's fingers.

>>
>>187399994
>>187400116
Iirc the game never mentions that darkmoon is an anti invader covenant before you actually get the DM covenant, so for people who won't read a guide it's possible to join rosaria before ending Sirri's quest. I also think it's silly that joining an invader covenant means that you possibly won't get an item that is great for invasions.

Can someone here drop me some goodies on das3 PC? All I need is the NG++ rings (Life Ring+3 and Sage Ring+2), Covetous Silver+3 and a Symbol of Avarice to make the levelling process faster. Or you could just drop a bunch of souls instead, I wouldn't mind either. Much appreciated.

It's too bad, then, that Sulyvahn had nothing to do with making Aldrich
>>
>>187405636
He's the one who really enabled Aldrich. He fed him a lot of people. You remember that Sully controlled the Church of the Deep right? That place where they did nothing but transport people along the Road of Sacrifices and through Crucifixion Woods feed shit to Aldrich and pray to his coffin? He's also completely responsible for feeding Gwyndolin to him.

I think arch dragon peak at the bonfire before NK. Rickard and that fat witch that summons him alone give really much, there are also plenty of snakeheads who give a good amount of souls. But if you intend to use miracles, then farm by cooping bosses, because of the sun medals.
Don't forget to equip all the items that give you more souls that you have.

Aldrich was powerful enough to be made a Lord of Cinder back when Sulyvahn was a nobody in the Painted World.

Wrong. You misunderstand the chronology.
>>
>>187407734
How do you know? Sulyvahn could very well have been with Aldrich long before he went LoCo
>>
>>187407734
What indicates that Sulyvahn comes from the painted world? It's highly possible that I missed it. Also how did he escape?
>>
>>187405797
>He's the one who really enabled Aldrich. He fed him a lot of people.
[citation needed]

It is never stated when Pontiff took over the Cathedral. He could have simply seen an opportunity and took advantage of it, long after Aldrich became a Lord of Cinder. Just like how he usurped the Profaned Flame for his own purposes.

I don't think so.

>>187407917
Cathedral of the Derp was initially supposed to contain Aldrich's remains, not empower him. That's how I know Sulyvahn wasn't running things back when Aldrich was forced to link the fire. Besides, he doesn't give two shots about the Deep, he's just possessed by infinite ambition and will ally with anyone strong enough if it benefits him.

He was, most likely, a scholar of the Archives and the mentor to Prince Lothric, then, when he saw the opportunity to take over Irithyll, he switched sides and sent knights to besiege Lothric. He doesn't strike me as a person who would have any loyalties whatsoever, except to himself.

That's written very terribly. It's saying that in order to free Siegward, you need to get his armor from Patches. And to get the armor, you need to either buy the armor from Patches, or kill him and loot it from his corpse.

You mean you don't want him to join you, so you kill him? You're wasting a free slab this way though. If you don't want him to join you, just enter Yhorm's arena before freeing him from the last cell

I just got the slab from him. I want him to join me at yhorms but fextralife says he won't if you miss an encounter. I missed the fire demon encounter so I must kill him right?

I actually did ask some I met there, why they didn't play on PCs.

Others just didn't see a PC as a tool for gaming, more as a tool to work on.

Consoles they saw as a "gaming portal", because that was the purpose of its creation.

In what world killing someone allows him to meet you at your rendezvous? If you just wanted the slab, no assist and you already got it before going in Yhorm's fight, you have to kill him. If you want the assist just proceed normally, what's so hard to grasp? You're not going throw the game the first time by looking at a guide at every turn, are you?
Also, why would you want Siegward? He's a fag and he'll always use the stormruler against Yhorm, trivializing one of the few somewhat interesting fights in the game

>>187411184
It's not like the game wasn't already packed with them but they could at least try to make some sense out of it, like instead of fucking over Yhorm, have it insta-stagger the King of the Storm
>>187411418
Probably bullshit. But even if that's true, he'll wait in his cell. And there is a stormruler in Yhorm's room anyway. I usually try to get all the shinies but I've conditioned myself not to pick it up because it just clutters my inventory and I don't use it anyway
>>
>"imminent comfort" outside andre's forge

Is this you faggots
>>
>>187411418

You get storm ruler anyways and you can just buy his set from patches, in every playthrough except my first one I skipped that questline because it's really just for a slab and you already get a bunch normally anyways.

>>187411482

Not only is crucifix one of the best weapons in the game with literal fucking greatsword poise health and poise damage, but it is also one of the most fun with one of the most diverse and useful movesets in the game. To call it a meme is a disgrace. But yeah, it's a faith weapon, at SL60 I just get 40 faith with cleric's sacred chime and only 2 hand it with 13/12 STR/DEX. Both physical and dark damage scale with faith, while only physical scales with strength on it, and yeah of course you use dark blade. Minimum 40 faith, if you get to 50-60 faith you can use yorshka's chime at that point.

Farron greatsword is a meme. CotMK is GOAT halberd.
>>
>>187411720
That's the one I'm talking about.
Activating Bonfires in DaS1 doesn't make you teleport back to them, they're just in an "active" state, allowing you fast travel to them, if they allow to.

Every time I go NG+, I just dump down, kill Quelaag, activate Fair Lady's Bonfire so I can return, Homeward Bone back out of that place.

>Stormruler working against Nameless King
Sure, but then it should also work against the other Giants, as the fucking description says so.

That's 30 kills. Getting him to spawn is already rare enough, was is necesary to make his drops that rare?

I'm considering going to 15 for med heal and starting as a cleric for a strength build. So I can heal regularly since it's better than esuts flasks.

>>187411836

>>187412094
First playthrough of the Souls series, it's almost always recommended to get Heal Miracles, just to deal with the early parts of the game where you don't have access to a lot of healing.

It's pretty fun as long as it doesn't revolves around 2 people just circling around and going for Backstabs.

2 is still best in terms of any kind of PvP though.

>Sure, but then it should also work against the other Giants, as the fucking description says so.
Well, the entire point is that it shouldn't work against Old He- I mean Yhorm, only against the King of the Storm as the reference implies

>was is necesary to make his drops that rare?

DaS2's drops were all formulated to necessitate a lot of grinding, way more than other Souls games in a lot of instances, which always baffled me since they also made it so that enemies despawn when killed repeatedly. You're forced to ascetic a lot of bonfires and make the area harder just to get shit.
>>
>>187412094
Any form of healing, provided you have at least 18 Attunement, is more efficient than orange Estus on a per-sip basis. Even Heal Aid gives you a 2:1 efficiency ratio if you've hit 30 Attunement but still have only 10 Faith for some retarded reason.

The trade-off is that casting a heal takes time and is punishable, unlike orange Estus.

You can get a heal as soon as you get to firelink and a miracle vendor at the end of the second area. Heals are okay if you get hit a lot, I'm pretty sure that 1 chug of bluestus worth of heals will always be better than 1 estus chug but it takes much longer.
