I feel kinda cheated.

EVERYONE insisted artorias was difficult/amazing boss to fight, but
I literally just walked into his boss fog and bashed his face in with my Demon Great Machete.


SL90. fastrolling pigknight. Was I overlevelled?

Maybe I pvp too much

No, learning to dodge and roll through attacks and retaliate with massive ultra weapon damage shits on everything in the game.

Greatshield and heavy armor also makes him trivial, as Arty relies mainly on strong single hits to do damage, none of which have enough oomph to get through the stability of a decent greatshield such as Black Iron or Havel's shields. Then you retaliate with some R2 or a couple of R1s and melt his HP

I never use a shield.
It seems the same technique I use in pvp still applies to pvp, considering I staggerlocked artorias.

Cant use r2s on demon great machete, just jumping R2s.

Oh well, dodgeroll 4lyfe
>>
holy fuck, just got invaded 4 times in a row before I could light the bonfire after artorias.
3 reds, and 1 blue.

I think the blue was overlevelled, since he dropped 43000 souls when I killed him.

reds all seemed average levels though, since they dropped like 3000-10k a piece

finally lit the bonfire.
holy fuck

Stamina ring and Favour ring are within like the first 2 hours of the game, and even when I played DaS for te first time I was aware END was more important than VIT straight off the bat.

The only time DaS is hard is if you purposely go out of your way not to use the items that are thrown at you, and if you're too dumb to realise you can upgrade your weapons to do more damage.
>>
>>322741797
Then try harder. Using lightning against Hammersmith and Apollo is not a good idea.

>>322741797
One of Smough/Ornstein is weak to lightning but the other is resistant. Cannot remember which although the opposite is true with fire so if you figure it out maybe upgrade a fire weapon to swap out.

If that is the case, the only real challenge left in PvE is rolling SL1 and not using pyromancy.

Do what I did. Do that, clear everyone but Gwyn, then have fun seeing just how many people you can kill anywhere you please. Not just fishing for unskilled lowbies, but catching people off guard on a run deep in the game. It is satisfying killing someone who blatantly outgears / outlevels you with nothing but skill.

Here is what I run. The "Help me! Carving" and "I'm Sorry Carving" are the other two items I have on me at all times, but they weren't on the list.

The PvE part without pyromancy. I didn't say I do not use it in PvP. Take 3 secodns to look at contextual clues. You think I run around with Red Eye Orb and carvings for PvE?

My main focus is to try to toxic people for fun first, hence the Toxic Mist and Dung Pie. If that doesn't work, time to try to kill them the normal way. Black Flame is more of an "Oh shit!" backup plan rather than my go to "Shut Up And Spam" strategy.

Artorias was by far the hardest boss in my bow only run. He took literal chip damage from me. I stopped playing for like a month after dying to him so many times.

OP here.

I dont enforce or believe in "dark souls is hard/easy"

DaS at least wasnt full of casualfucks blowing the "meta" gaming trend out their arse.
when Im talking about memes, I mean overusing the shit out of context.
Steam forums is a good example.

As for sucking at both,

A. your complaining is an example of sucking at grinding
and
B. Cheat engine has been getting people softbanned/put in low prio queus more and more frequently as of late.
I personally dont recommend CE as you run risk of being stuck with fuck ton of hacks in low-priority servers.
And you dont ever get OUT of those.
Game has been tightening up its item flagging, even offline yo.

Cases of softban so far:
-person had a friend drop slab for him
-person actually completed game without dying or levelling in DaS
-Person attained both the rings for not dying and not lighting bonfires in DaS2 at the same time

none of these people were even using CE.
But it shows how volatile the servers are. dont tempt it, anon.

I'm talking about /v/, I barely visit other websites that involve videogame discussion.

>A. your complaining is an example of sucking at grinding
it wasn't me complaining about grinding, but regardless, you can't 'suck' at grinding, it takes time, not skill

unless it involves doing something very hard of course, but usually grinding is made on a section that requires little to no skill, otherwise you'll fuck up eventually and that'll slow down the grinding... unless of course the reward is huge, but that's a specific case

>B. Cheat engine has been getting people softbanned/put in low prio queus more and more frequently as of late.
I personally dont recommend CE as you run risk of being stuck with fuck ton of hacks in low-priority servers.
cheat engine does bring issues with online ban systems fucking innocent people over, yeah, but that's not the cheat engine's fault, it's the ban system's fault (or rather, whoever created and implemented it)

>DaS at least wasnt full of casualfucks blowing the "meta" gaming trend out their arse.
can you elaborate on that? how can they be casuals while exploiting the meta?

Because 90% of the time, there isnt actually a "Meta"
its the fault of a very vocal minority that whines about non-issues that gets things removed from the game
See
-golf-club swings on greatswords DaS2
people whining about it have obviously never played DeS and its stormruler sword pvp
-Black wood grain ring nerf, DaS
-all-around dagger nerfs, DaS2
-nerfs to greatshield jump attack tracking, DaS2

etc. the list goes on, but more towards DaS2, which is heavily played/populated by PC players. especially since DaS is a pain to get working, and other titles just arent available

things being broken was never an issue for demons souls, and the pvp in that game is remarkably fun, no matter what build you are playing, simply BECAUSE everything was broken.

Lastly, the reward for the grind IS huge.
A titanite slab is very important. especially since the last upgrade gets you over that last breakpoint for damage, in most cases.

DaS2 subverts the grind and makes it shit easy though imo.
>I'm talking about /v/, I barely visit other websites that involve videogame discussion.
Personally, I say keep it that way, lately this place seems to be the last bastion of sane discussion of vidya, without cringey 9gag or doge crap, upvotes, facebook links, and normalfags.

thank moot for anonymous imageboards, where you dont have to be an entitled poweruser to state your god honest opinion.

I did. Not my fault I forgot to buy the dlc until I was at endgame though.

>>322750192
that's all the dev's fault in my opinion, listening to your fanbase can be very dangerous

example: Hoth changes in Battlefront, from open Beta to Release, Hoth was infinitely more fun on the Beta

i know you can get a softban in dark souls 2 for using CE but what about this one?
>>
>Dark Souls boss looks cool but is a great disappointment gameplay wise
Gee boss, that never happened before.
Souls game have garbage bossfights, there is not a single good one in DaS1 or 2.
>>
>>322749395
Fromsoft had a huge issue with surface angle in DaS.
Anything at or above 45 degrees, and you slip to your doom.
this is the worst on any organic path, like tree branches where the edges are rounded and have massive fall zones that you cant see.

Crystal cave also has a couple paths that are at precisely 45 degrees that look safe, but really arent.

DeS had the issue too, especially since there was 0 gravity, so your fall angle was huuuuuge you were like to slip off a platform you DID land correctly on. at least Dex reduced fall damage, DaS2 avoided this entirely, plus equips that reduced fall damage.

Do you faggots not understand irony anymore or do you just post your meme pictures every time someone tries to make a joke?

Also anyone who uses magic as their main way of attacking instead of as a sidearm/support is a literal baby.

That exact spot is 100% cancer. It's the same in the 360 version. At least you don't die there easily, even if it catches you off guard. You can just hold towards the platform and walk left, like you did.

I think they should look into what people mention, but not just go ahead and try to normalize everything. Both extremes are equally as bad. If I could choose I'd rather have them make everything unique strong instead of nerfing what's already unique and strong.
>>
>>322751134
the meta meme is to make the joke about the joke that has already been overjoked.

I know people IRL who think magic actually makes the game harder.
Its Poes Law in action

with this in, people tend to weed out shit posts more and more, to protect the integrity of a community.

I fucking hate the Great Hollow. Worst area in the game for me, even worse than Izalith because at least you can turn your brain off and it's over quickly, with the Great Hollow you actually have to plan ahead and be careful with a system not built for platforming.
>>
>>322751461
Int builds are so much harder.
Magic doesn't do enough damage per hit and is a limited resource with each spell locking you into an animation. All while your character is squishy

The easiest way to play dark souls by far is fast rolling while two handing a greatsword

There are no good int weapons until you reach the painted world or cut off Seefs tail. And good luck with that as an int build only way to do it is crystal soul weapon on a crystal helbard and hope to get lucky

Int builds are harder and less fun because of how finicky they are.

I could spend hours setting up the ideal int build all while being squishy and dealing with locked spell animations, or I can pick up a big stick and deal more damage, get in more hits and have a way easier time dodging

>>322736485

Artorias has the most telegraphed moves in the game.

The only one that's hard to see coming is POCKET DARKNESS.

People love him so much because of his look and lore.

Magic/enchant improved weapons make for good int weapons

>>322755342
Nah m8. Int build are easier than str/dex builds. Almost as good melee damage with infused weapons, better with weapon enchantments and utterly broken spells that enemies have no way of countering
