These fucking assholes... I swear...
What's the most frustrating mob you've encountered so far /v/?
I don't sven want to call them mobs. Enemies in DaS3 are too smart for their own damn good. Mobs are supposed to be idiots.
>>334325603
some of the later dudes in armor are fucking ridiculous. They move fast as fuck and take 1/4th of your health no matter what armor you have.
>>334325763
I'm more afraid of getting to the boss than the actual boss itself in this game.
Fuck this place.
>>334326253
yeah I got fucked first time I went in there. Second time I just stuck to the left and the right one aggro'd but didn't actively come to attack me.
anyone find anything better than a +uchi for dex scaling?
Everything else is underwhelming so far
The minibosses are literally more difficult than the actual bosses, especially those fire throwing skeleton faggots in Boreal Valley
>Those ninja skelly men who run around all over the place throwing Knives
Jesus christ this cant get any worse
>Those pyromancers in snow-town that shoot projectiles through walls from two continents over
Alright enough with this shi-
>That one room in the demon ruins full of floating orbs that spam fireballs at you.
I said ENOUGH
>That room in Anor Lando with two wolves who instantly aggro to you. Like seriously how is this even doable with no summons
Also...
>Pick up treasure
>Slime monster falls atop you from the ceiling
GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT.
Smouldering Lake and everything in it can go fuck right off.
>>334326342
>Everything else is underwhelming so far
Weapons require gems this time you mong.
>>334326642
That's my biggest gripe is the levels rely so heavily on cheap counter attacks, archers, and trap to make the game difficult.
>>334326342
I rolled with the Uchi for a while. Then I got the Katana from the grapes that comes with its own buff. That was prettty cool. Then I got the Uchi from demon town which is just a slightly smaller Uchi with higher stats and a new heavy.
Every time I find something I think would make a good dex weapon, it has shitty faith or int scaling on it for some reason.
>>334325603
First time I'm playing ds3, how do i use the magic weapon?
>>334326750
do the gems just add the effect to the +3 or +6 weapon?
>>334326642
tfw i did the wolves solo, took me like 6 tries but i wanted to get all the covenants before the game came out officially cos i got it early
>>334326979
You need to equip a staff in your left hand to cast the spell on the weapon in your right hand.
You can then switch back to a shield if you want.
>>334326908
Because going pure-stat is stupid.
Str/dex
Str/int
Str/faith
Dex/int
Dex/faith
It's been this way since demon's.
>>334325763
> Enemies in DaS3 are too smart
lol no, they are fucking stupid
their danger come from their never ending combo, your inability to interrupt them during certain attack and your useless armors.
they miss (while you just stand there) or start attack prematurely much more than ds 1 or 2.
>>334326312
Didn't work for me but I found out you can use a visceral attack on them.
Old Demon King is a stupid fight and you're stupid if you enjoy it.
>>334327230
Thanks anon
>>334327241
I'll pass on your crutches thanks. Dex is the only thing that makes the game interesting. str weapons are as easy mode as magic
>>calling sword food "mobs"
>>334327398
>Single boss no gimmicks
>Learn his pattern, roll, punish
>A few aoe spells in the mix to keep you on your toes
Its how all bosses would be if it were up to me.
>>334327334
I guess I got lucky. The one on the left backed me in the corner and I thought I was fucked when the other showed but it just sat there growling.
So where do I go after the Deacons of the Deep fight? Shit's a dead end and now I'm stuck. Catacombs maybe? I really don't wanna do that area just yet, the skellies (Who I can't actually kill for some reason) are too spooky.
Anyone?
>>334327641
so, 80% of dark souls 2? :^)
>>334325603
Facehumpers in the swamp
>2 hours into fucking boipuss 1 and 2, lothric and lorian
FML, 2 fucking hours, fuck niggers
FUCK!
>>334327641
Not nearly enough openings in the second phase. Fight took forever.
>>334327690
you must through the catacomb to disneyland.
some skelly can rev once. keep an eye on your soul count. no soul = you must kill it again. catacomb is really straightforward unlike most area.
HOLY FUCK WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
>>334326253
I just beat one on a bridge now there's more of them?
>>334326342
Use sharp gem with uchi son
>>334327935
Whats the problem?
>>334327935
>combos like artorias
>hitboxes like manus
>shockwaves like ancient dragon
Only boss I had to postpone doing
>>334327690
The catacombs is what you have to do next. Or cut the bridge before the boss fight in the catacombs to go to a new area.
Those fucking goat things
>>334327995
He's got huge AOE attacks and never takes a break. He's also got hugely damaging fire floor bullshit, has huge hitboxes on highly damaging fire explosions, and is basically unsafe to attack besides one or two attacks.
Those fucking skinny faggots in Irithyl that have a goddamn 8 HIT COMBO FUCKS SAKE
>>334325603
i want a game about this guy
Will I ever have the option to buy large titanite? I'm so fucking sick of never having any. I've managed to find two, by some fucking miracle, but that's it. It says a lot when I have 6 fucking twinkling titanite, which is supposed to be pretty rare, and only 2 large titanite.
>>334327690
Skeletons can raise up after death up to twice.
It's tedious, but if you kill them one at a time you can look to see whether or not they drop souls; if that do, they're dead and you can move on.
Seems like a half-assed throwback to the necromancers in DaS1 but it is what it is.
As for OPs question, anything I can't inflict Bleed upon. My shitty 40 luck build is getting reamed in the latter half of the game because the Coal/Ember that's used for Hollow/Luck and Bleed infusions isn't available until right near the end. I've made it through the catacombs, and up to Boiling Lake or what ever but now my +3 bandit knife isn't cutting it (pun unintended).
how do i get this item on the roof @ grand archives
please and thank you
hey, what are your favorite heavy weapons? like greatswords/hammers shit like that
im using adark sword +5but i want a more strength oriented weapon
>>334328134
No?
>Roll left
>Roll forward
>Punnish
>Repeat
>He starts samming his staff into the ground
>Run the fuck out because its 1 of 3 aoes
Just back off to mid range after you do you damage so he doesn't do his grab. Its simple stuff
Those jailors from Irithyll Dungeon.
Jesus fucking christ...
The Irithyll Dog enemies, especially the two of them infront of the Aldritch covenant.
Also pic related is the hardest thing in the game.
>>334328224
Once you find the Eastern Ashes in the second part of Irithyll
>>334326342
Chaos Blade has S Dex Scaling, if that counts for anything. It's a bit later on, though.Like almost the end of the game later.
>>334328224
You need someone's ashy to give to the lady at fire link, but once you get to the ash s you will have plenty of larg shards.
>>334325603
>most frustrating
Definitely the tall knights with spears
>Those silver knights with the lightning spears that can thrust at you from 50km away
>>334325763
Nah, a lot of early game mobs are fucking retarded
those big fuckers after Vordt with the two handed saws are retarded as fuck
you can kite all the mobs there to fall of the bridge
>>334328063
I want a candle head how do I get it?
>>334328224
yeah, after a particular ash, you'll be able to buy them for 4000 souls each. of course at that point, you'll be wishing you could buy chunks.
>>334328427
It's temporary only
>>334328314
Cathedral Knight Greatsword
>>334328240
>at lake with +3
You should be able to get that puppy up to at least +4, lad. I got my sword to +6 shortly after wolnir. Hit up boreal valley and go through it for some shards man.
>>334328470
What!? lame.
>>334325603
There are only 3 annoying monsters in the game. The dungeon jailers, the wolves, and the big fat mage bitches
>>334328342
I like your armour. Set? Location?
>>334328314
>dark sword +5
Same here. It's a good sword.
>>334328481
Pretty cool. How's scaling though? I just killed the congregation and STR/DEX scaling is shit with every weapon I found so far
>>334328481
>lothric knight helm
h o t
the Lothric Knight set just hit a spot with me
something about armour with capes is just the best shit
>>334328314
Do these count as heavy? They're kinda tricky to do in pvp but once you get a hit in the damage is massive. I love them.
I also like standard claymore, to fuck up rollers or several people when invading.
i fucking hate newfags
A friendly reminder that if you use any of the following you are a massive pleb and should just stop playing:
>shields (for anything other than parrying)
>greatswords
>ultra greatswords
>katanas
>armour not meant for fashion
Anything I'm missing?
>>334327690
>>334327873
>>334328240
Only skeletons with glowing white eyes will revive.
>magic is only viable when integrated into a hybrid melee build
Wish somebody had told me sooner
Those jumping faggots in the Demon Ruins.
>>334328692
>EVERYBODY SHOULD USE BORING SWORDS AND SPEARS HAHA :D
>NO FUN ALLOWED! NO FUN!
Fuck off retard.
>>334328692
Yeah, anything fun.
HOLY SHIT STOP ATTACKING FOR A SECOND JESUS CHRIST FUCK THIS BOSS
>>334328481
My nigger. I got that +8 and heavy infused. It fucking pushes shit in PvE but sadly greatswords are terribad in PvP.
>>334328551
It's the Abyss Watchers set, iirc you can buy it after defeating them and giving an ash to the old lady.
>>334328564
My exact thought, and i haven't actually played BB only seen footage.
>>334328587
You guys aren't getting how things work this time.
If you want weapons to scale properly, you need to infuse them with gems.
If you want you delicious greatsword to scale properly with STR you need to infuse it with the STR gem.
>Not dual wielding katanas
>reading the thread
>everyone mentioning areas and bosses from DS1
Is the entirety of DS1 in this game? What the fuck.
>>334325603
The two giant wolves guarding the Aldricht covenant. Fuck those things, it's some god damn bullshit fighting them both at once.
What's a good refinement for Ultra Greatswords? Heavy or Refined?
>>334328548
>big fat mage bitches
Those are easy as fuck
When they start casting that black swirly magic shit you can get AT LEAST 2 hits in with a decently quick weapon
Even if you don't roll away in time she only hammerfists you with the book, so it doesn't do much damage
It's really only the fire hug thing she does that you have to worry about, but that's a piece of piss to dodge seeings how she turns into a fucking orange spotlight before it starts
>>334328692
The fuck do you use?
>pic related, it's you
>>334328903
It's not dual wielding if it's in the sheath, tard.
>>334328838
If you think not having time to cast is a problem, wait till you get to fucking Abyss Watchers.
>>334327935
ok so for this boss :
>when he hits the ground with the hammer
you can basically roll and that way the fire circle spawns ON HIM instead of on you , so roll back away from him as hes pounding the ground
> when he casts those fire balls to the sky
those fireballs are pretty slow you can basically sprint sideways and they wont hit you , alternatively hide behind the piles of dead demons until theyre gone
> when he breathes fire in your direction
if you look closely the flames he fires are like straight lines ( think fume knight from dks2) if you move sideways you can dodge the damage, alternatively roll back out of distance or use iframes during a roll to roll "over them"
>for the mace swings
roll towards him and towards his right arm so that his close range fireball breath thing doesnt hit you ( he always does this with his left)
>>334328987
Depends on what stat you're focusing on anon, I'd say refined is definitely better for a quality build.
>>334328987
Depends on your stats, fucko.
>>334328923
One area makes a direct return, a few other areas aren't directly specified to be the returning areas but heavily implied
>>334328880
Does infusing a weapon with upgrades (Say, +3) delete the upgrades and send the weapon back to being standard?
>>334328587
A base infusion sits at a Str/Dex scaling of C/D
With Heavy Infusion it goes to A/-
With Refined, which is what I have it at, it sits at C/C
Right now with my Str at 39 and Dex at 36 and the weapon at +10, the respective damage numbers are
298+229
275+217
268+275
So I think it's pretty good. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of with with a pure strength build and Heavy infusion
It also counts as a strike weapon and also has a nice stab attack with the 2 handed R2
>>334327935
People thought this boss was hard? So far he's been maybe the second easiest boss in the game. He's big, slow, predictable and all of his attacks are easy as fuck to avoid.
>>334328903
>using katanas in souls games
Why would you want to be lame on purpose?
>>334328923
anor londo and demon ruins, that's it
>>334329094
Only if you use a raw gem on it
;_; sleep tight shroom nana
>>334329031
Nigga what the fuck are you talking about? Abyss Watchers is way earlier than that boss.
>>334329084
Str
>>334329115
>using greatswords or cuckhander
>tired of using broadsword
>everything I try to switch to doesn't scale anywhere close
>>334329245
Longsword does, in fact I'm pretty sure Longsword is the best weapon in this entire game.
>>334329245
Upgrade it then, fucko
You gotta infuse it with the fuck tonnes of gems you've probably been hoarding
>>334329168
I saw iudex and I thought about the tutorial boss
don't bring name calling into this please
>>334329115I always go in on my first run with something I know will work so I can make a more extravagant build on my second run when I see the new weapons and spells. Going for necromancer once my samurai is finished up
>>334329154
OK? And, infusing a weapon with a gem (Other than raw) will still only require regular titnite to upgrade, right? Or whatever tintinte is required for the specific weapon anyway, and you can still take them to +10 or +5?
The game doesn't do a very good job of explaining any of this stuff. It's kind of irritating.
>level 26 with a +2 weapon
>literally zero people to invade on high wall
What the fuck? According to the wiki I should at least be able to hit level 15's with no upgraded weapons.
>>334328603
Man I got 2 drops of the gauntlets, helmet and sword, 1 spear, 1 greaves but no lothric knight armor. Fuck me
So i just got to smouldering lake and stopped there because there was an invisible enemy attacking me.
Probably a glitch, but anyway i'm tired already.
Is is supposed to be burnt Ash Lake?
>>334329312The weapons I wanted to use can't be infused.
>>334329094
No, you keep your upgrade numbers.
>>334328903
SAMUEL
>>334329312
Can you infuse a weapon with more than one gem of the same type in order to make it scale even better?
>>334328903
Where do you find a second one?
>>334328697
Fair enough.
>>334328501
I went to Rosaria and chickened out, respeccing that 40 LUK between VIT and END. Now I'm tearing through the game with 10 Estus and 1000HP; having whooping 10 VIT was causing me no end of grief.
Anyway, now I'm using a Corvian Scythe +6. I dumped all the large tits I found in/around the Lake into it because I had from the beginning intended to use the scythe as part of a Lifehunt build. It just sucks the Bleed/Hollow coal is found in the final area because that would have saved me all this trouble.
Sidenote: I love the monster infighting in this. If you can't tell, there's a bunch skeletons wailing on the fire demon here, and they've got him on half health. For some reason they hit for like triple/quadruple my damage.
>>334328880
Where can I find a STR gem?
>>334329380
You filthy triple nigger.
You get everything explained in the menu when upgrading.
It tells you the materials you need, the scaling, everything...
Learn how to read for fuck's sake.
>>334329618
Keep going. You WILL find at least one. I'm pretty sure one is a guaranteed drop somewhere in the first several hours.
>>334326728
It's an optional area for a reason.
>>334329220
>implying
club/axe master race, greatswords and katanas are for the ultimate babbies.
>>334325603
>mob
Do you also call your own character a toon?
>>334329769
flawed logic, the optional areas in BB are great
Why does everybody use the Grass Crest shield? What's so special about it? I have the Grass Crest shield but I'm using the regular Crest shield simply because it has a 100 physical block, which the Grass Create shield doesn't have.
Not a single enemy in the game was as bad as these fuckasses.
>>334329878
faster stamina regen
>>334329878
Read the item description and you'll understand everything.
>>334329878
Stamina regen
>>334329802
Thrall Axe is my favourite weapon so far
Fast as fuck, stuns bitches like there's no tomorow.
With enough stamina I can just stunlock and kill red knights so easily
Not to mention that having a dagger skill on an axe is fantastic
I don't even miss rolling
>>334329904
It's a 'Sonygger brings up Bloodborne in a DaS3 thread' post
>>334325603
the camera is the only frustrating thing about this game. Guess thats where the Dark Souls is difficult meme comes from.
>>334329878
Slightly faster stamina regen. Basically I can do a 4 hit combo then dodge out and be able to recover in 2 seconds for another run
>>334329878
Do you not know that every item has a description? Serious question. Hit X over an item in your inventory to read more about it.
>>334329380
It really ain't to hard.
I'm not joking when I say this is my first Souls game (I've played the others, but never really "gotten into" them)
pic related is the titanite you need to upgrade weapons
You need coal to infuse gems, not titanite
i haven't figured out the combat flow in this game yet
it's something in between the fast paced aggression of BB and the 100% phys shield spam of the other Souls games
i feel like the game wants to stop me from holding L1 but so many mobs are quicker off the draw than you are, and they kill you in 4 hits, so i feel overexposed without the shield
BB gives you the tools you need for aggression with rally and endless healing items
i feel like ds3 isn't compensating me for the strategy adjustments i need to make, at least i haven't found how they're helping me adjust
>>334329878
Grass crest shield is the only viable shield in the game. See, once you git gud you realize that shields are a useless crutch and you do more damage two handing anyway. So you put the grass crest shield on and get the stam buff from it while two handing your weapon
>>334329904
ahh, Bloodborne. i just finished Dark Souls 3 and wanted to replay Bloodborne then i remember those hours spent farming for blood viral.
fucking nope
>>334330051
Bloodborne is the only game I own on PS4.
>>334329993
>>334330023
>>334330027
Is the stamina regen really that significant?
What Ultra Greatsword should I roll with? I'm using Zweihander and fucking loving it. Is it balls compared to the rest, though? Also, is Vit worth raising much?
I'm at the spooky giant skeleton right now. Please tell me there will be at least one boss later on where blindly running forward and spamming attack won't be the most effective option. So far this is a fucking joke.
>>334328518
You'll need it if you don't want to get cursed.
From please.
Demon Ruins and Anor Londo felt like a massive kick in the balls to me. Lothric Castle looking like the end of the fucking world isn't helping.
And is it just me or is the Profaned Capital built upon Oolacile?
>>334330142
I have like 12 in stamina, so that's the reason i use it.
>>334329714
Not him but you can't honestly say that Dark Souls doesn't do a shit job of explaining things (whether this is purposeful or not).
>>334330096
>>334329380
Forgot pic cos I'm a stupid nigger
>>334330142
Yes, the regen is quite fucking good
>>334330170
Only if you need to equip shit
>>334330136
>Not just buying them in bulk with spare blood echoes
>>334329245
You can use whatever weapon you want if you just infuse it with a sharp/heavy gem. The base scaling is worthless, a sharp +10 Uchi is good enough to last you literally the entire game.
>reroll Herald and stick with Lucerne
>pretty effective so far
>Greatwood is suddenly walling me.
jesus. what are other good quality weapons? Is Lothric Knight Sword effective?
>>334330137

Why do you feel negativity towards callbacks?
>>334330480
so i can play on the couch bro its more comfy haha
>>334330340
Yes, but no this one.
They even tell you in several zones what to do in those messages in the floor.
Like putting off the three fires in Farron or the bridge in catacombs.
Honestly from reading these threads most people are just lazy this time.
>>334330470
Lothric Knight Sword has carried me the entire game, but its more dex than anything.
>>334326642
Ninjas can be chain stunned
Flame mages get interupted by even a single hit, use a bow
Those orbs can be destroyed, use a bow
You can aggro a single cat thing with any ranged weapon
Seriously do you peole just not use the tools in the game
>>334330370
I quit the game before I beat it but if you get Old Hunters you can tell they know it was a mistake because outside of Ludwig there's a skeleton that always drops 5 every time you go around.
>>334330554
>people like something I don't like
>WHAT A BUNCH OF FAGGOTS.
Grow up.
>>334330514
Could be Queelag as well, unlikely though. Quelana is there too.
What's a good bow for str users? I'm not a big fan of crossbows. Also is it worth taking a composite bow and infusing it with heavy so it has a decent str scaling?
>>334330643
Had to drop my bow, it was making me cheese the more challenging aspects of the game. I want to earn my wins
>>334330676
>>334330304
Anon, those are egg sacs and tree roots. You are literally retarded if you think there's actually any significance behind that.
>>334330554
This
There are six thousand other games where you can use swords, normally as the ONLY possible melee weapon and people still use them in fucking Dark Souls
Whip and Lance master race, I wish there were Gladiator armor and shit
Are there any headpieces that let you see your character's head well? I prefer going without a helmet but that gimped defense is just a big "fuck you" to that
>>334330586
Don't get me wrong, at first I felt pretty happy. Then I found the Giant Blacksmith's corpse, the ruined cathedral, the empty throne room where Tits McGee used to be, etc.
>>334330773
That is clearly a big spider ass in the center anon.
>>334330586
Most people here are shitting on the game because of this but seeing Anor Londo again was amazing for me.
Seeing the dead giant blacksmith and giving the coal to Andre.
Good stuff.
>>334330773
The denial is strong with this one
>>334328314
I do like the Farron Great sword, you can parry and slide attack like those Abyss Watchers too and it has good Dex scaling
>>334330367
Gut's Greatsword is cool looking, but fuck, 20 weight for the sword alone is rough.
So what exactly is the plot of 3?
I'm not even looking for an indepth answer, mostly "What are you told to do" Will do.
>>334330862
Those are tree branches, anon. They are literally everywhere in that area.

It looks like a big spider ass with a bunch of spider leg surrounded by petrified eggs where the head should be to me.
>>334330760

I've only gotten to the greatwood so far, but are there any cool STR weapons that don't look outta place with the default knight armor ? Currently rocking a +2 broadsword
The ones that have attacks that chain into like 8 more.
Oh wait, that's all of them.
>>334327490
>str weapons are as easy mode
Not in this fucking game holy shit
You can't fight anything without taking damage yourself if you're using heavy weapons
Just how much fucking stats do I need to make this worthless boss weapon (Profaned Sword, the fire Pontiff one) do any fucking damage? My fucking Raw Straight Astora sword +4 does more than it at +3.

Cheesing is cheesing Anon, and I don't have the self control to not do it. The bow had to go.
>>334330756
Greatbows have traditionally always had good STR scaling, but usually require quite a lot of DEX to use. Don't know if you're found one yet but that's your best bet.
I'm putting off upgrading any bows since I'm kinda hoping for a bow like Nashandra's in DaS2. That shit was unbelievably good. I loved it.
>>334330984
The fire is fading, you are a accursed (not hollow) raised back to life to get the embers to burn yourself and prolong fire again.
There are other endings but its all the same pointless bullshit endings we had in Ds1 and Ds2

Ah, well. Still no sweat, then. Those fuckers were quite easy to kill
These fucking HP bars. Mine's like half the average I see around here.
It's like PE all over again.

Using the games tools to win = winning
Stop pretending you are better than others just because the way you play is different from the ways others play the game.
And dont come onto /v/ to bitch you suck so much but refuse to use the tools given to you to overcome challenges and expect anyone to give a shit.

Weren't the egg guys just people that had been saved by the Fair Lady and stuck around to serve her?
>>334331507
Lmao
Same here. Seems like everyone's taking the "why get good when I can have a health bar the size of the screen" route.
>>334331431
I dunno, you'll have to start upgrading and see. Could be one of the best in the game, ya never know.
So is this this easier than the other Dark Souls games?
It's my first one and I honestly can't tell whats supposed to be so difficult about it.
So guys I just finish the game and it seems there is some place I happened to miss
see >>334330676

>On top of that they added several hits combos that are inconsistent to interrupt so you can never safely punish and tracking attacks with mobility so you can never outrun chasing enemy attacks
It's a fucking shame, all i'm doing is ignoring the enemies and rolling around because it's clear that the game was designed as a co-op game.
Anyway, are enemies supposed to be damage sponges or should i enhance my shit up ? I'm rolling with a +0 ice sword from a mini-boss (full phys dmg, though, only frostbite)
>>334327690
kill emma and fight a tough boss and go to a new area if you want
(though you will get your shit kicked in)
>>334331575
But I never said I was better than anyone, thats something you projected on to me. All I said was I lack the self control to not abuse game mechanics.
You need to calm down anon you're getting fried up over comments I never made over the fucking internet.
OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING
>>334331606
Honestly I'm finding it harder than DaS2 and MUCH harder than DaS1. It feels like a real slog now, and the areas and regular enemies definitely seem stronger this time.
This entire area is absolute trash
>>334331617
You need to enhance your shit up
That ice sword is absolute ass when it's +0 and it just isn't good enough to rely on the frostbite damage
>>334331507
>>334331596
To be fair, you can go pretty damn low on vit/end this time and still have a very functional build.
>>334331612
The bridge infront of Wolnir actually turns into a ladder if you wait a bit.
>>334331575
Using magic/bow/ranged will always feel cheaper than using a weapon straight up.
It's not about proving anything to anyone it's about your own satisfaction, I beat every boss without summoning, I did it not so I can say I did it, but it feels like a personal challenge.
>>334327490
das3 is a lot more fast-paced, 90% of enemies can be stunlocked with fast R1s, plus enemies have attack poise. big, stamina-costly, slow weapons are fucking awful this game. its a shame cause I loved greatswords. Not sure if they're any better in pvp
>>334331751
It looks cool but the enemies are annoying as fuck.
>>334331617
Getting to +3, +6 and +9 are super set stages of the game. You should get to 3 asap when you start playing. You'll know when +6 is possible because they will start being common as fuck. Same for +9.
Weapons that need scales and twinkling is a bit harder though, but each upgrade counts as +2 in comparison anyway
>>334328349

it's good for pvp though

What's the best armor in the game and why is it Faraam?

Emma? You mean the Knight lady you find in Road of Sacrifices with her partner who doesn't talk? Funny, I just saw her in Firelink andnshe mentioned she was off to the catacombs.
>>334331751
My framerate dips to like 15 in the first part with the dragon.
Can't wait till we can modify the ini and turn that mist shit off, it kills my framerate anytime I look at it.
>>334331431
that's what I'm using and I love it so far

There's nothing wrong with it besides this fucker. If your main complaint with it is the enemies though, git gud.

That second boss though.

The game literally starts dropping both Large Titanite and Titanite Chunks like candy once you get to Lothric Castle. Slabs are rare as fuck on the other hand, I've literally only found a total of 3.

>Accidently upgrade Artorias sword to +5
I guess i'm committed now
Should I go DEX or STR? I think all the STR weapons look cooler from what I've seen, but I haven't seen many DEX weapons. Is there that katana and long sword duo that we saw in that trailer?
how do I beat the abyss watchers
I can do the first stage most of the time but the second one just wrecks my shit
What the fuck is happening to my game?
I'm getting a shit ton of crashes, but at really specific moments. Like when I burst open the tree bosses sacks, the game crashed. When I tried to light the first bonfire, the game crashed. When I beat the ice dude, the game crashed.
How do I fix this shit?
>>334332007
What makes it hard to complete? Is it Dark Soul 2 hard but with the achievements/trophies locked out behind absurd game design?
>>334332151
Just attack his head or wings, it's just very inconsistent because like every dragon boss, he has a completely unavoidable fire breath attack that will take a good 50% of your health.
>>334332059
That's actually one of the more modest great weapons.
>>334332309
second one is arguably easier
>>334326253
Are the only way to get that armor set to kill the current owner?

Those prison fuckers that sap your max health. It's like they wanted to make the Latria jailers even worse
Lore question: aldritch spoilers belowwas anyone bummed out at the aldritch fight? All I saw was gwndolin with a little goo tail. I thought he was a huge blob monster.
Why did aldritch fight as gwndolin? Is gwndolin dead and being puppeted? Was he eating gwndolin? I'm confused
>>334331245
i have been hitting. nothing. they must be troll messages. that or my game is broken somehow.

Any kind of ranged:
>Run back
>use projectile
>Repeat
>move back if they start gettign close
>Never in any degree of danger
Melee
>Have to approach
>Have to wait for an opening and dodge attacks
>Carefully manage how much stamina you have
>Have to study patterns to know when and how to mitigate damage
Sorry champ, but ranged combat is the uncontested easy mode of souls games. 5th game in the series and they still havent developed AI that can deal with it
>>334332309
Summon. There's no shame in it, and plenty of people do summon for that fight, so you're not the only person having issues. Of course I didn't summon for it, because I'm a not a big fat vagina who needs the help of others, but like I said, lots of people do.
man
having a high luck stat sure feels great

So far just the online meaning all the ways to upgrade the covenants not really working so the fastest way is to farm the covenant items with enemies
and the drop chance is abhorrent
If the covenants would work properly then this would be no big deal.

I hate to say this, but the second one is literally a "git gud" situation.
>>334332451Aldrich peered into the fading of the flame and realized everything's going to shit, so his thought was "hey, I'm going to eat immortals, that'll keep me alive when everything goes to shit!"
Item descriptions state he's been eating Gwyndolin for a while now, it's a very slow process.
