DeS is a fast food burger, tasty but will make you sick if you eat too many of them.

DS1 is a good-looking tasty sandwich that falls apart every time you try to eat it, messy and sloppy but good.

DS2 is an ugly, gross-looking sandwich that tastes great once you get past the first few bites

DS3 is a beautiful sandwich that you find out is made of plastic and is just there for the photos

BB is a premium expensive fancy burger, it's only downside is that burgers taste better when they're cheap.

I would call BB lean beef. Very good quality meat but lacking the fat that gives it lasting flavor.

>>187940541
Yeah, but the fact that they are like that anyway.
The only way to """fight""" them is to spam roll.

>>187940703
that's a better comparison, I was thinking about how getting a PS4 makes it not worth the price for most people

maybe:
>BB is an expensive lean burger, tastes great but lacks satisfaction for the price

>>187936232
not him but those numbers don't match your own link. You used Sharp instead of Refined for longsword.

>longsword
40/40 Refined = 428 / 453 (1h/2h)
66/14 heavy = 408 / 441

>broadsword
40/40 refined = 446 /471
66/14 heavy = 424 / 458

but that's silly because there's no "best infusion" for a weapon unless that weapon is purely str or dex. For everything with more than one kind of infusion, best infusion depends on how many levels you're investing.

Heavy loses effectiveness as total investment grows because it softcaps lower, refined gains effectiveness as total investment grows because it has the highest total scaling.

For most weapons, if you optimize your stats for max damage, refined is the best around 100 level investment (60/60), sharp is the best around 75 level investment (80/16) heavy is the best around 45 level investment (40/16) and raw is the best at 20 level investment (20/20) and below. What changes is how those investments are distributed, so being outside of the best marginal curve (for example, 66/14 stats) usually means slightly less damage unless you're using a weapon that already favors strength scaling before infusion.

Obviously this isn't a hard rule, every weapon's scaling % are slightly different so the exact breakpoints for different infusions will be different, but it tends to hold true because of the softcap differences between str or dex. Str has lower softcaps but lower base scaling, so it's better at lower level investment. Sharp is the opposite. Refined has the highest scaling but lowest base damage and highest softcaps. DeS was the same way, but less balanced/more aggressive with the differences.

it's all just numbers really, DS3 scaling isn't that complicated

>there's no "best infusion" for a weapon
Of course there is.

If an infusion give you a higher AR then it's better for all intents and purposes. You can use a heavy longsword on a STR build but it will be less effective than a refined longsword on a quality build.

obviously way easier if you book it the 1st time (can easily get there before he stands all the way up) but other than that its pretty easy, just get as close as you can away from fire, let him do his thing and make a run for it

So I managed to finally make custom starting classes for DS1 barring few issues.
No face on some of characters pic related, this wasn't an issue in game. I take I miswrote no helm item id.
Spells not showing on others properly, same as above miswrote spell id.

Anyways would it be possible to also edit weapons? I'd like to buff/nerf certain weapons. I don't plan on going online with this at all since the only people still playing DS1 are new players who I could kill with any weapon anyway and laggy bs fishers.

>>187948474
>or if you feel like being cheesy, pretty sure you can always snipe with arrows.
They knew how players used bows to cheese in the previous game, so he can actually smoke the area below the stairs for the same amount of damage.

>>187949316
I sniped him with arrows, since I couldn't make a run for it fast enough no matter the timing. He just throws a slow, easy to dodge fireball if you snipe him from down there. Just took a while to do.

>>187949157
I know. I imagine getting thrusted with one would be very painful with the undulating blade.
All of the greatswords bar Executioner, Firelink, Stormruler, or even Gael's (Which has a fucking thrust) are capable of, and should able to thrust

>>187949316
There is a point where he never gets you while you safely spam arrows.

>>187948119
>>187948915
Because they tied the unique WAs of a lot of greatswords to Bastard Sword R2s for some reason. That's why things like Wolnir's, the GSoJ, and TPGS have them. Making them Claymore R2s with CE actually removes their ability to do their WAs.

>>187949671
So to make them unique, they made them all the same...?
At least a rolling thrust or something different...
Ugh...

That's because those are DLC weapons and they constructed the unique WAs to fit their moveset variations. Hell in the files you can check with CE they both have special variations of the Claymore moveset with the R2 pokes and the rolling slam of other greatswords that's tied to their WAs.

Artorias was the only one who could go into the Chasm of the Abyss is because as one of the race of the gods he was weak to Dark and he had to make a covenant with creatures of the Abyss to be able to enter (hence the ring you pick up from killing Sif is called a Covenant) but he still got fucked up. As humans, the players are able to walk in the abyss without getting corrupted.

I tried, though I'd recommend building for one specifically. If you want to use Tinder you want to swap in Sage+2 and the spell buff rings for magic casting and maybe go up to 60 INT as you don't need the Dex for it really, while Friede's only need 40 INT at most.

Just out of curiosity sake I tried to look for more information whether Arty was left or right handed and there is no conclusive evidence.
Still some said that this guy in Cover is meant to be Artorias before he was corrupted as he ventures into the Abyss.

Atleast DS2 fixed it, only to be ruined by DS3.

It looks like you're doing a Strength build so planning to infuse your maces with Fire will just waste those points. I'd recommend either DEX to get more weapon/powerstance requirements or Vigor since going up to as close to 50 as possible is ideal.

You can make any build you want, you can start as a Sorcerer but then play as a Pure STR Melee if you wanted. For DaS1 only one gift can kinda affect gameplay in terms of sequence breaking, so be wary of that. Other than that it doesn't really matter.

Now leave and go enjoy the game, go in blind and don't come back until you finished it, don't look up guides also, many would kill to replay the games for the first time blind again.

Unless you have the appropiate caster stats, avoid elemental infusions.

Get Attunement to 16, you'll get one more spell slot and reach 99 Agility.
Then you can focus on INT/FTH. Doesn't matter how you level them, your Fire BNS will increase regardless.

Bluemoon GS is pretty good, but both it and Moonlight GS look like plastic toys in DS2. The worst part about it is its terribad durability, but it has no scaling and high damage, meaning you can get it raw, get minimum reqs to wield it, and put all your points elsewhere.

It's a very useful stat, but not necessary to all builds. It's the main way to increase Agility, which increases iframes from rolls and backsteps, and also makes using items, like Estus Flasks, faster.

It also has a satisfying melee combat as well.
Though there are alot of balancing issues. Basically if something has Defense of 1000 and you have AR of 1100, that thing will only take 100 damage.
So some fights would be really easy, while others you'd spend 30 years grazing at health bars. You have to know when to leave an area for harder fights and when to ignore.

I just looked up some armour sets, and the basic steel one looks lovely, save for the greavelessness...
And what the fuck kind of balance is that...?

the fucking final boss man, destroyed all the ballistas before I could actually use them, and I was playing a magick knight with no way to properly hit his weak spot. Thankfully at some point my hunter and my champion pawns just decided to use their super attacks or whatever and I saw 3 health bars jump at once after 10 minutes of barely getting one down, completely jumped in my chair

DDDA was a bit rushed so there are some balancing issues,which means that after like 20 or so levels you'll be mostly set until endgame(Which adds more enemies and harder encounters). However the DLC area more than fixes that ,and the DLC area comes free with the PC release
The PC release however removes the Guts and Griffith Armors from Berserk which is a big shame

So, what do I do exactly after doing the Giant Tree memories? I'm trying to find hints from NPCs, but they really don't tell you much.

>>187971952
If you've finished all the memories, you have two options. How many Souls of a Giant do you have?

>>187971952
when you do all 3 memories,go back to the undead place and fight vendrick
After than go back to the first bonfire in the castle and go through the golden door opposite of the room filled with stone soldiers and sentinels

>>187972062
I got 4.

>>187972117
I really need to fight that poor fellah?

>>187972212
Three from the memories, where did you get your fourth?

Are regen miracles useful in DaS2? in a invasion for example

>>187972212
To fight the "true" final boss you'll have to fight vendrick before facing the final boss.
And he might be a poor fella but he 2 shots the shit outta you if you aint careful
Also try interacting with his armor when you're done for a cool thing

>>187972352
In Black Gulch there were a hidden path with a gangbang of Giants, I somehow survived and got my first Soul of a Giant and some random stuff from them.

>>187972385
It just feels wrong attacking him..

>>187972352
Can get a 5th from the ancient dragon.

>>187972546
Okay, you need five to fight Vendrick without him having double his usual defense. The fifth, well, is there anything around that made you think "This is a boss"?

>>187972546
You're destined to take the throne anon,and there can't be 2 kings

>>187972673
Don't tell me that big ass dragon is a fucking boss.

>>187972546
You must beat up the demented grandpa, anon. It's your destiny.

>>187972781
Only if you hit him
And as all big bosses its more of a fight against the camera

>>187972865
>Big fucking dragon
>FromSoftware
I don't like where this is going, not one bit.

>>187972781
And it has the last Giant Soul.
Oh yeah, don't forget to fight the Drakekeepers on the way there.

>>187972940
>don't forget to fight the Drakekeepers on the way there
Don't remind me, these fuckers have the most retarded tracking I've ever seen. Don't get me started on defender of the staircase.

>>187972781
I'm pretty sure the devs thought of it as a "nobody will ever beat this thing" boss, since it hits like a goddamn fucking nuke, like an actual fucking real nuke, and has the most health out of any boss in the series I believe. But its AI is easy as shit to manipulate. Look up a video on how to do it, it's just a long, boring fight. Equip all the gear/rings you have that increases soul gain, he gives a ton and it's not like defense matters against him anyway.

>>187973067
Don't you just love the hammers?
>>187973114
Strange as it is, it drops more souls than Soul of Cinder.

>>187973236
FUCK the hammers. I'd rather fight Maneaters than these fuckers.

>>187973067
>>187973236
I'm still convinced they fucked up the second drakekeeper's AI, the one with a mace. Sometimes he has less than half a second of recovery from one combo to another, and you can't parry or stagger these guys. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous.

>>187973394
Don't forget its insane tracking, guy uses a fucking satellite to detect you, the fuck is wrong with that?

>>187973394
it used to be worse

I died to the Drakekeepers, particularly the one with the hammer more than any other boss in the game. When they finally started despawning, I felt this tremendous sense of relief.

>>187973558
what the fuck ? did he just perma-swing all the time without ever recovering ? because that's basically what he does sometimes
>>187973483
now I need a drawfag onto this right now
>>187973583
I lost like 250k souls on a character with whom I wasn't planning to levelup anymore anyway and had agape equipped at that point, but it was still frustrating
I died again without even reaching my fucking bloodstain. At SL200.

>>187973483
He also swings said satellite.

>>187973583
I'm the Smithy guy, so far I dealt with everything in the game and I got to admit. That one fucker I cheesed to hell and back with a Crossbow at long range.
Fuck that tracking and insane combo.

>>187973664
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember having to fork over a big bundle to Cromwell because Agdayne took offense to my Torch Hollow.
>>187973732
I'd imagine you'd have an easier time, using Strike weapons like that. Damage types actually meant something back in 2.

>>187969827
Unless you're buying it on Steam, which isn't currently having a sale, you're getting ripped off. It regularly hits 75% off during sales, you're spending twice what you could if you were patient.

>>187973696
SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKS
>>187973927
I mean, it's not like I was ever going to be using those souls for anything, I don't even know what I was doing in dragon shrine anyway

>>187973732
Greathammers can actually 2shot them to death but they still manage to be incredibly annoying

>>187973696
Definitely need a drawfag for this shit.

>>187973483
>>187973696
This has to be the funniest thing I've read on this general.

>>187974876
One fucking enemy did this to us, ONE enemy.

>>187975125
And I just remembered, you can't try to run past unless you want to deal with the local Dragon Knights, too.

>>187975125
And not even some kind of miniboss like an undead dragon, blighttown big wall parasite, or the two fuckers in front of farron keep, just some random fuck who'll shove a satellite up your ass while his dragonfucking buddies wank to it.
