Is this supposed to be an action rpg or a horror game made to give you heart attack?
WHY DO THIS?
Just a Gollum look alike and it doesn't even do anything.
>>334801724
I don't give a fuck, I am holding my torch up through this entire horror dungeon.
OH LOOK ANOTHER ONE, FUCKING HELL EXTERMINATE THESE THINGS
Oh you're gonna hate some parts of that place OP
>>334801672
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne all had horror themes in them, it's a pretty important part of the series.
I think Bloodborne was probably the most horrific, along with Demon's Souls' 4-2.
>>334802516
I felt that place had similar feel to Latria too.
They're failed attempts at turning people into dragons. As you can see they have little stubby wings. This fits in because there are other areas of the game that tie in with them making attempts at this. Why would they want to do this, my only guess is immortality like the dragons had before. Doing this could probably save people from the impending darkness or whatever issues come from when the flame goes out. Keeping this in mind, when they "killed all" the dragons before the first one and there are dragons in the third one it makes me think that they were successful. This again can tie in with the fact certain enemies can explode into those black monsters and in one are you kill two dragons which can only die once you destroy the black monsters coming out of them. Whatever these black monsters are could possibly be injected into them in order to cause this transformation. Fighting the abyss watcher their blood is something with dragon in them and hawkwood was after whatever it is that made people into dragons as well. This would would explain why hawkwood ends up wearing their armor and wielding their sword, he could have drank their blood in a mad attempt to become a dragon.fuck you vaati
>>334801672
I've literally never been scared in any Souls game or Bloodbourn.
And I apsolutly hate horror.
>>334801672
I murdered the absolute shit out of these fuckers once I found out they were the ones making all that goddamn noise.
>>334801672
This place and it's enemies are copypasted from tower of latria in DeS. But it's still scary and I overall like it. Even the upgraded Anor Londo looks great. It's a shame they dropped the painted world.
>hear soft clicking noises
>look up
>huge spider drops on my face
Shame I didn't capture that moment.
>>334802516
Ding
>>334769660
Spooky skellington catacombs boss made my heart fucking palpitate
>that room in bloodborne with all the spiders in it
>get the fuck out of there because holy shit that fucking massive one
>run into some dweeby looking faggot who pushes my shit in
>try to run back
>spiders are all waiting for me
Truly a nightmare.
>>334802739
I preferred the mind flayers over the jailers though.
Tower of Latria was my favourite Demon's Souls area, followed by the Valley of Defilement. I just loved the sounds of those two areas, and that huge swamp in 5-2.
They're Dungeon Crawlers.
Just got there myself.
There better be something good for me waiting at the end of this dungeon cause this is fucking spooky as shit.
>HP reducing mist that affects you from a mile away
>slow rolling, one shot pokers
>screaming corpses
It's such a shame that the prison was only a fraction of the dungeon.
quick question, why the fuck can we not enchant our weapon if we go with a Crystal infusion? its complete and utter bullshit that as a Sorcery user, i cannot use my god damn Sorcery to buff my god damn weapon.
I fucking love that shit. I wish FROM would make a new Shadow Tower game with enemy design on par with Bloodborne/DS3. The goofy-looking models in the first two games were already spooky but that's got nothing on how pants shittingly horrifying a new game would be thanks to modern graphics and those amazing enemy designs.
>>334803841
I thought their stare causes the HP reduction.
>>334803857
Crystal is magic now, and Miyazaki hates it when anything other than normal weapons have buffs.
>>334803683
Latria is pretty great, but I don't really like Valley of Defilement. Mostly because of the huge club-wielding enemies. It has atmosphere though and one of the best bosses.
>>334802516
You mean 3-2?
How the fuck are these monster and boss designs so good? From is outdoing themselves by the year.
>>334803904
Yeah, it does.
>>334803204
>vaati is silently taking notes
>>334802303
>that first Fire-Brander you encounter
>hmm, this room looks easy enough, those caged hollows are piss easy
>wait, whoa wtf MY HEALTH1!!11!!
what even is that debuff called? its like if Curse got a hard on for Bleed and they fucked to make Blood Curse so you can die while watching your literal HP bar drop to nothing.
i never died from it yet but holy fuck was i ever close that first time.
>>334803904
nah if you poise break them before they throw the gas you won't be affected, also you start regaining your life when you are far away from them , not when you get out of their sights
>>334803683
You mean 5-1?
Stop this
>>334803841
>>334803904
Line of sight is what does it. Same shit as the Brain Trusts in BB, but they were a lot scarier.
>>334804028
you can't die from it it stop at 1 HP
>>334801672
>>334801915
Why do you have a pencil for a head?
This looks hilariously bad
>>334803956
I meant the valley's swamp, with the slow walking, those giant club guys and the Meat Cleaver black phantom. 3-2 was a great level too, especially with that constant heartbeat.
>>334804084
It's the mist, if you prevent them from spitting it out you don't lose life
>>334803915
i knew it was magic, im bitching about the fact that i cannot buff it at all, so its lacklustre as fuck compared to a weapon that can scale nicely and get a fucking enchant on it. fuck you Miyazaki, always some stupid decision with you.
>>334804202
Nah you they can release the mist and you can even be in it and not lose health but only for a second. The red mist just indicates that they are about to start draining your shit.
>Dark Souls 3
>most dungeons are sunlit areas
Pig disgusting
Not Tower of Latria was the only redeeming dungeon in the game.
>>334804084
Eh, at least you could bullshit winter lanterns with blue elixirs and they wouldn't see you until it's too late, these bitches however will always nick off most of your HP bar.
>>334804028
you can't actually die from it, it's a 'reduce HP to 1' ability
>>334803204
Draganslayer armor was buddy buddy around with those human-like dragon things aswell
So much DLC potential
>>334801672
>those item corpses that shriek when you go near them
Got a jump off one, felt like a triple retard
You should try Bloodborne OP, that one is more emphasize on horror
>>334804202
I thought it was the myst too and then I got a bow and sniped them from across the room yet they still fucking drained my HP just by staring so I'll go by the LoS theory
What is that location to the right far off in the distance? Looks like a bunch of buildings covered in snow, surrounded by trees. Possible DLC location?
![Dark Souls III 04.19.2016 - 22.00.49.13.DVR.mp4_snapshot_02.51_[2016.04.19_22.04.58].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MOmM53Q.jpg "Dark Souls III 04.19.2016 - 22.00.49.13.DVR.mp4_snapshot_02.51_[2016.04.19_22.04.58].jpg")
>Mfw killed Dancer on the first try
What the fuck? Everyone was hyping up how hard she is and how it took them 30+ tries. She's an easier version of Pontiff Sulvahn, who gave me a fuckload more grief than her. I mean damn I killed her in 3 minutes flat.
How far am I from the ending now?
>>334805094
Three bosses if you stay on the straight path.
>>334801672
Those things didnt bother me.
There are a few jumpscare screams in that area that got to me though, I was wearing headphones and they were extremely loud. I hate jump scares.
>>334801672
Those are Rosaria's fucked up babies right?
I haven't been reading item descriptions enough desu.
I'm in the snowy town now.
Is it just me or is this area a lot harder than anything before it?
The games difficulty curve felt pretty consistent up till' now, I'm having a really hard time here.
>>334805032
Looks kind of like Farron? No idea though
Quick guys, best staff/talisman/chime and why.
>>334804750
ornstein and smough prolly got turned into dragons, maybe they are the pair of dragons in lothric castle? It would be a really ironic way to go. When you pick up Ornstein's armor it isn't on a body and is just placed there so this could support the idea.
>>334803269
There has been a point for me, where I stopped playing it like a horror game and started to see it as exploration/adventure. Like a switch being flipped. One moment, I am cautiosly edging forward, soaking in the atmosphere. The next, I am only doing risk weighing and am driven by progression.
I somehow wish I could get that tension back.
>>334805350
none because pyro is the only non absolute shit magic now
>>334805032
can you use your Binocular for a better view perhaps? im honestly not sure what place that is.
>>334803204
I made a similar albeit less in-depth speculation earlier today!
The babies definitely look like failed dragons to me.
I'm also hoping for some Velka exposure in the DLC because the black goop wings that sprout in some enemies seem more avian than dragon-esque to me, though.
>>334805094
OCELOT
>>334801672
They're knights of the Boreal Valley like Vordt.
All of those knights become beasts eventually. Those are the ones that just got more fucked up than others.
Makes sense they'd keep them in their dungeons, with the jailers doing all they can to limit their strength.
>>334803991
Dancer is my favourite boss, designwise.
There is something about the ethereal flowing movements transitioning into fast whirling combos.
>>334805587
you could not be more wrong.
The horror elements in DeS/DaS/BB are honestly some of the best in gaming, it's one of my favourite aspects of them and FROM do a stupidly good job with the monsters, art design in general etc.
It's also the part that makes me sweat profusely and quit the game after beating one boss
>>334805497
I'm thinking they are dragons though because there are a lot of them in the consumed garden which is near Oceiros who got turned into a dragon and looks similar to those failed versions. Whatever it is must be dark because there are clerics and there trying to cleanse the place. Hopefully the dlc explains it more similar to what dark souls 1 did.
>>334805651
How? That's just the impression I got from my first playthrough.
What are they then?
>>334805094
dancer is pretty easy imo. If you get away from her insane spin attack you'll be fine
>>334805647
Yeah it's a legit dance.
They really did a good job remodeling The Tower of Latria
>>334805329
can't be, farron should be directly beneath where the player is standing, right?
>>334805738
You mean like every rythmic movement could be considered a dance or like there is a real traditional dance form where you are stooped over like that most of the time? Honestly curious.
It reminds me of certain depictions of fauxislamic dervish dancers in roleplaying systems.
I sometimes hear these weird noises in there.
This is the only thing I found that sounded the same:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6fJUolFYUs
>>334805703
Vordt got turned into a beast because of the Pontiff ring.
>Knights who peer into the black orb are lured into battles of death, transformed into frenzied beasts. No wonder the Pontiff only provides these rings to those dispatched to foreign lands.
read from the Pontiff's Left Eye ring which is transposed from Vordt's soul.
>>334804154
Thats 5-2. 4-2 is the rolling skeletons one, where Patches kicks you down the hole
>>334805032
I'm more bothered by the actual copy&pasted cliffs and buildings over here
>>334805651
>>334805703
I am also curious how you would disprove his claim.
The rough body shape fits the boreal knights pretty well.
Not that body shape alone is enough evidence, but I would'nt throw it out the window.
>>334803524
Message warning about something above.
I look up and big monster drops on my face and basically gives me heart attack.
At least Dark Souls 3 doesn't have spiders.
>>334805324
The big knights are several times harder than anythign else in the area. Most of them are at the start of the level, once you hit the second bonfire it gets much easier.
>>334805932
That makes sense. We don't see any of the beastial boreal knights in Irythill proper.
Which just leaves those pale babyheads an open mystery.
>>334805984
read >>334803204
and >>334805932
>>334805647
The music and the way the attacks sound is really smooth.
>>334806056
gg
tnx
Nameless Kingtook me 2 and a half hours to beat; the longest amount of time for me by far. He wasn't even difficult in the way that a boss like Ludwig is difficult, he just demands near perfection because most of his attacks one-hit you.
Also, not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it's pretty likely that he'sGwyn's exiled son.
>>334806083
I think this guy got it >>334803204
>>334805867
My sister is a dancer and I used to have to go to her dance recitals as a kid, the boss fight is mostly rythmic movement but there are legitimate dance forms and moves threaded into dancers rotational attacks. One of the reasons I absolutely love this fight is because of how fluid the movement is, I didn't kill her right away. But after a few tries I noticed a steady dodge pattern for all her attacks. I was impressed with this boss just because of the music and how the fight played out. Overall, it really is just Rythmic movement, but some dance styles are also shown, notice how when she stabs forward with her sword and sprawls her body along the floor, her left leg is completely straight while her right is tucked in, something straight out of fuckin ballet.
>>334805698
I think a lot hinges on getting a good picture what the abyss is and how works. If it is something relating to the dragons, or something completely different.
>>334805587
All i know is they're most definitly related to dragonarch peak, Wether they visited it, or something brought something back from there their spears tell a good story.
Twisted spear favored by the wretched, failed prisioners of Irithyll Dungeon.
>Crafted from a feeble tailbone, and seen as a sign of the dragons. Their screams are oft heard inside the dungon, as they naively mutilate their unworthy flesh.
I think they tried to become dragons much like hawkwood, But werent branded worthy, And were instead stuck into the dungeon.
Just spit balling here but.
>>334806130
The hair and lightning soear made it obvious.
>>334805185
Alright cool. What other side areas are left? I've cleared out Smouldering Lake, Irithyll Dungeon etc.
Also is it work 200k souls to permanently remove hollowing? Like holy fuck nigga thats a lot of souls
>>334805975
Mirrorpeaks DLC confirmed.
>>334806186
Buy the DLC to find out, goy :^) There they will expand on pyromancy and hexes with more dark type enemies just like dark souls 1!
>>334806171
Pretty impressive. The battle did have a nice rhythm to it.
>>334806219
>Also is it work 200k souls to permanently remove hollowing? Like holy fuck nigga thats a lot of souls
Only if you don't like looking like ass and eating anti-curse stones for that is cheaper option.
I was kinda disappointed that there seems to be no negatives for being full hollow.
>>334805975
I don't see it...
>game runs perfectly fine in indoor areas but shits itself outside or in areas with far-off backgrounds
I thought I had another year left before I had to upgrade.
>>334806312
Of course, I will buy it. Probably going to pick up the season pass from some cheap key site as soon as the first DLC comes around the corner.
>>334805094
what weapon is that ;-;
>>334806374
>>334806091
Literally ringed them in in the blue circle
>mfw all the Demon's Souls inspiration tossed into this game
>They gave us a fucking mini tower of latria
>They gave us another storm ruler boss fight
>The firelink shrine is basically another Nexus
>a bunch of other shit I'm forgetting right now
>>334806443
Looks like Eleonora
>>334806380
I have been playing coop with a guy, who is apparently running it on his brother's older computer. We can only help each other out in indoor areas. Everything else, leads to his framerate shitting itself and losing connection.
At least it forces me to git gud.
>>334805946
>>334803956
Sorry, I though you replied to >>334803683. I meant 4-2 as in the one with the invisible guys and the reapers. That was the level that scared me the most when I first played.
>>334806443
Elenora, Some unique axe you can find deep in the dungeon.
>>334806312
Too bad artorias wont be a dlc boss since you can flat out buy his armor. Smough got shit on again in this game as his set isn't somewhere neat and is just in the Store unlike Ornstein.
>>334806171
have you gotten to champion gundyr yet?
he did the dancing thing best of all bosses imo
>>334806478
I was honestly so fucking glad infusions were back, This makes playing a ton of weapons alot more bearable, And can even make good weapons better.
>>334806478
It's nice and all, but there was SO much nostalgia service that it got stale after a while.
>>334806212
>>334803204
Has anyone had opportunity to have a closer look at the iron brand the jailers carry? If it is a specific symbol we can connect to something?
>>334804028
>so you can die while watching your literal HP bar drop to nothing
As opposed to watching your figurative HP bar drop to nothing?
>>334806343
Wait for it....
>>334806695
>not having a literal literary HP bar, to put you lovecraft books on
>>334806683
it looks like this but doesn't allude to anything that I know of.
>>334806832
I can dig it.
>>334806834
its a stickmanwith a dick
>>334806776
I'm waiting and I have waited and still don't see anything real negatives in hollowing.
I wish the jailers' HP reduction was permanent
>>334807037
I has storyline effects.
>>334807037
Is Hollowing capped at 99, anyway? I haven't seen it go any farther and aside from the implications for the endings, I have seen no effects.
>>334806606
It could be bearable if there where actual new good lore.
>>334805008
It's their lamps.
When they're red they drain in limited range LoS.
Passive is blue.
Gas doesn't do anything but is a signal.
>>334807132
Still only positive, as it only enables storylines.
>>334806834
Its a Y for Yhorm, the red parts on the back are what connect it to the stick. Probably just some kind of tradition that Yhorm carries on like branding slaves. Maybe its a giant thing?
>>334805920
When you kill enemies, it'll sometimes make a hiss sound and an orange vapour will go to your player. When that happens enough times, you get a free sippy cup.
These things are ugly enough to make me angry. I accidentally said "Die abomination" out loud when killing some. That spider thing with human limbs is also unsettling, that one that's made purely out of larvae as well.
All these creepy grotesque enemies. BB inspiried?Also what the FUCK is with the screaming corpses, I knocked over my drink the first time
>>334807037
Every time you level up while hollow, it costs more to heal. Alao, there is hollow infusion which boosts luck with hollow weapons. So you can actually have a hollow build. No real cons as far as I know though other than being ugly.
>>334806539
>inb4 there's a burnt out new Artorias boss
Armor does actually do something guys ...
Instead of going full bbabies and pump everything into your dmg stat of choice you should diversify a little bit.
Maybe you won't be one shotted by every boss and have to try it 20+ times.
>>334807358
>I accidentally said "Die abomination" out loud when killing some.
Geralt is that you.
>>334807140
99 is the cap.
Would be awesome, but also really dickish if reaching certain level of hollowing meant that you went full hollow and get permanent game over.
Even better if that hollow you would then be in the world of the next character you make.
>>334807316
But are the Irythill dungeons really part of the profaned capital and Yhorm's Domain?
I feel like those jailers would belong more to Sulyvahn's turf.
And just having the first letter of a name seems so un-mystified, for this game.
>>334801672
>get invaded

>Full balls deep glass cannon is babby mode.
lmaoing at your life
10 VIG, no Shields, melee-only is how every first Souls run should be. Learn to fuckin' roll.
>>334807527
jailer's are indigenous from the profaned capital
its in the description of their set i think
>>334806478
I liked the return of stormruler but I think its usage was really stupid. For what reason was Yohrm the only enemy in the entire game that receives so much damage from it? He's not even a flying enemy, he's a giant and Cursed undead killed those just fine by hacking at their shins, why does Champion of Cinder suddenly can only hurt him with wind in the face. In my opinion stormruler would be much better utilized against first phase of Nameless king, it's a flying enemy and you fight it inside a storm.
>>334807601
its baby mode if you go on here and complain that you die in one hit in every boss fight
i see this every thread
>>334807472
This would be an awesome mechanic. Reminds me of some roguelikes where you can encounter the ghosts of your earlier characters.
But in reality, everyone would just take early steps to prevent/remove hollowingbuildup.
>>334806541
Yeah I just beat Gundyr last night. Absolutely hilarious fight. I admit he actually gave me a run for my money the second time around. I 1 shotted him in the very beginning, but he was a challenge the second time around
>mfw Dragonslayer Armor
How can one boss be so perfect? Might be my favorite boss in the franchise. He's not particularly difficult(beat him on my fifth try), but his theme and absolutely crazy moveset just hit the right note for me. His design is also extremely badass, his shield and axe in particular holy shit.
>>334807527
The clothes from the jailers indicate that they are former aristocrats from the profaned capital, it IS irythill dungeon though so maybe they just bought the place from sulvayn? It's not like Yhorm has any lack of wealth.
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Aristocrat's+Mask
I've been wearing the Drang set since I found it, I want to switch it up. Where's the Painting Guardian set? I'm inAnor LondobutGywn's hall or whateverseems to be a dead end.
Not sure where to go from there
>>334807689
Forgot pic
>>334807701
Drop down onto the wooden scaffolding inside the tower you find Company Captain Yorshka
>>334807358
You've never been to Tower of Latria, I take it?
>>334806130
that actually makes perfect sense wow, didnt even cross my mind. thanks anon
>>334807693
It's also possible I guess that Yhorm threw them out, there are those bride like aristocrats down next to Yhorm's fog door. If I was Yhorm I wouldn't want those monstrosities in the dungeon anywhere near me either.
>>334807693
>>334807629
The link posted states
"[...]later serving under Pontiff Sulyvahn. Perhaps the screams emanating from the cells help them forget their old home."
So I would think, they aren't serving Yhorm anymore and as such it wouldn't really make sense to brand prisoners with his initial?

This is bliss
>>334807968
There is actually a second cell where this happens.
Have fun finding it.
What's the most likely place to get invaded at SL 107?
Around the Kiln, or should I go NG+?
>>334807968
you know those bodies you pick up items from? If you pay attention that's them screaming, they start moving and screaming because you took whatever it was from them. This also alerts the jailers if you weren't aware. This happens in a couple different spots.
>>334808004
Isn't that what the voice chat feature is for?
>>334808079
Fuck. I just started exploring the place, but I think I'll go to the Smouldering Lake first after all.
>>334808250
I think Smouldering Lake is the one area in the game, where I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. The whole thing is like a fever dream in my memory.
>>334808175
>>334808250
smouldering lake is also a shithole. Fun boss though.
>That noise when approaching the Consumed King fog gate.
>>334807838
Where is that?
>>334807879
I have, just haven't played Demon's in YEARS, and those things never creeped me out, the ball/monster made of corpses did though
>>334808004
I wish there was some kind of "Holy" infusion since we have Dark/Deep. I'd use the shit out of that

https://youtu.be/hbwVKjLiH7o
>>334807358
Thank god those screaming corpses only trigger once.
Thought that also means they put them there on purpose to scare you.
>>334808382
At first, I was like
>Damn, what idiot built a giant ballista underground
But then, I was like
>Oh, that's why
>>334808528
>I wish there was some kind of "Holy" infusion since we have Dark/Deep. I'd use the shit out of that
... there is.
>>334807650
It's a giant slaying weapon.
But it's criminally neglected since Yhorm is the only enemy it works against.
Not even other giants give a single fuck about the special attack.
Should have worked against nameless in some way like forcing the second phase early or at least changing the fight and other giants should just get fucked like Yhorm.
>>334808528The revolving tower at Anor Londo bonfire has a bridge pointing towards a tower with a bonfire on it. There is an invisible path to walk over.
Is there even a point in using anything but Sharp, Heavy, and Refined infusions?
>>334808603
just to clarify I meant "there is" as in lightning/Blessed if you want to count those. Which it would be justified since dragons seem to be made out of abyss/dark material and lightning is effective on them.
>>334808695
Raw is good if you have low strength and dex.
>>334808669
Are there even other giants around anywhere?
I mean not giant humanoids, but those "hole for face" giants. Like, the race of giants.
>>334807948
Maybe its just some mark to identify anyone hit with it as being from the profaned capital? Then if anyone sees it they would know that person came from the capital. With the whole place being in ruins it would seem like being from a shit place ruled by a giant. We also don't really see any other way to leave besides the dungeon.
Or maybe they just found the brands somewhere and started using them? Like maybe Yhorm started branding his citizens before the place went to shit and now they continue to use them?
>>334808603
Really? I must've completely overlooked it or i t's named something I didn't acknowledge.
What is it anon?
>>334808695
I see, I'll go back then. I saw a hidden path message followed by several blood stains so I thought it was a trolling message and left
>>334808742
Oh you meant lightning. I GUESS it counts since Lightning weapon requires quite a bit of faith, but that's not what comes to mind when I think of a holy buff
>>334807650
>In my opinion stormruler would be much better utilized against first phase of Nameless king, it's a flying enemy and you fight it inside a storm.
Seems like a really stupid oversight on From's part
The dragon is easy as fuck anyway so why not
>>334808779
But Yhorm doesn't have a hole for a face, he's got normal skull, only Drangleic had buttface giants.
>>334805094
She gave me the most trouble of any boss.
I remember distinctly, summoning two phantoms for her, and her immediatley grabbing both at the exact same time and annihilating them.
Admittedly I didn't put much effort into beating her normally, but her second phase fucked me up lots.
>>334808695
Blessed can give crazy FTH scaling on some weapons, Same goes for Deep, Lightning, Simple and Chaos, Even Bleed stone can be a ton of fun on some weapons.
>>334808779
I figured all the giant chained beings were giants sice that is explicitly what Patches calls them.
Also I think they look like the giant blacksmith iirc.
>>334808887
I didn't even know the torch existed in this game until after this dungeon
>>334808779
In dark souls 2 those giants were supposed to have faces originally.
>none of the cool weapons can be enchanted
>none of the cool weapons can be given spell buffs
Why? Just fucking why? What is the design decision around this other than anti-fun anti-magic builds? I want to chaos infuse my weapons but they don't get a fucking flame effect so I stick with the carthus flame arc.
>>334809007
Did you just let the maggots give you blood loss in the Cathedral then?
Let's talk about powerlevels.
Who's canonically the strongest dragon?
Who's canonically the strongest knight? (Gods excluded, not stuff like Nameless King or Gwyn but Artorias, Fume Knight, Alva, etc.)
Who's the strongest protagonist?
Who's thebest waifu?
>>334809194
They disappear if you use red moss or go near a bonfire, I didnt even know they were maggots until much much later
>>334809113
>>334808968
>>334808887
I am not totally sure about that. I just watched some footage of Yhorm and he has red glowing eyes, but many enemies have those, especially abyssinfluenced ones. And we can't see anything else of his face through the hole in his coif.
Patches, I would'nt necessarily trust every word.
In any case, I am also confused by the Giant Tree standing beside Firelink shrine, that has the classic DS II design.
Anyone have more input on that?
>>334809306
Sirris is my waifu
>>334809318
yeah. with most armours, you can't really see them writhing. Wish they would have made that clearer.
>>334809426
You deliver his remains to the throne in Firelink and it's a big humanoid skull in a crown.
>>334809306
>Who's the best waifu?
Priscilla is the only answer.
>>334809426
The tree giant was there just to give people the seed.
The only lore bit you get is this
>The giant trees were also known as watcher trees, and their seeds unmask invaders.
aside from that there's not much else.

The strongest knight is definitely artorias, they make it seem like we could only defeat him because he was already consumed by the abyss.
Best waifu is maiden in black.
It seems to me like every Dragon has the same power level, but that huge one from 2 definitely was the toughest Dragon fight in the series
>>334809426
Well patches goes on a rant when you ruin his trap by killing the giant enemies first so he isn't lying to you.
They all have facemasks like DaS1 giants as well so I do not think you can tell just from the hole.
They have chains jammed into them so they could be golems but since they sleep that's probably not the case.
>>334809306

Artorias was left handed (pic related). We fight him when his left hand has been crushed by Manus.

>>334809306
>Who's canonically the strongest dragon?
It's a power struggle between Seath and Kalameet, Kalameet is the dragon of calamity, So strong that not even the city of the gods dared to challenge him, While Seath is the dragon that created magic, Spells so strong he could fell thousands of his own kin that were known for being incredibly strong.
>>334809560
Ah, yes. I concede on that point. Maybe I am clinging on to that hollow face design, because I find it more interesting than just another humongous human.
>>334809653
I find that pretty boring. If we settle with explanations like that, exploring the lore isn't really fun.
>>334809725
He doesn't necessarily have to be lying to speak a wronghood. Maybe he just doesn't know better.
But I am agreeing that the whole Giant business, doesn't seem to be as clearcut as in DSII.
>>334809713
Theres a video of a boss fight between Oreos and Smores vs Artorias, O and S won after Ornstein died and Fattyboom went berserk.
>>334801672
one of the best areas in the game, if not the best
wish rest of the game was same quality

Get a weapon that scales with strength and infuse it with something that scales with faith well, waaaaooowww that was sooooo haaaaard.

This one seems to be throw everything from every previous game into this game.

>>334809939
Well making shit up is retarded. Getting the lore from the items and environment is how it works in this series and there's jack shit to explain why the tree giant is there other than they just wanted the mechanic to be in from the second game as it's pretty useful and cool. If you could contribute more information that has concrete evidence as to why you think this stuff is happening then be my guest. But just saying "oh I think this is happening just because" without explaining is retarded and not how this works.

I'm hoping someone can clear some things up for me regarding Ornstein. I've seen a theory going around that Ornstein is actually the Nameless King's dragon. This is based on the appearance of his armor set after the boss fight, the established mentor-apprentice relationship between the two, and the fact that NK absorbs the defeated dragon through an explosion of lightning; much in the same way that Smough absorbed a defeated Ornstein.
I have no stake in the validity of this claim. However, were it to be true, would that not mean that Ornstein survived getting demolished in the first game? How? Contrarily, if the theory is false, what was his armor doing at Archdragon Peak? Did NK just miss his buddy enough to go fetch his stuff from Anor Londo and have it lying around as a memento? Or did he find it in Drangleic, at Heide's Tower? Again, what was Ornstein doing there if he is supposed to be dead? Was that even Ornstein? Did the butterfly-controlled Dragonslayer Armour at Lothric Castle belong to him as well?
tl;dr what the fuck is up with Ornstein? Feel free to call me a retard if I'm missing a bunch of totally obvious stuff
>>334808685
Wait what the fuck, really?
>>334810109
Those don't count.
The Spider Temple was actually uncomfortable for me to do in Dark Souls 2.
Ended up shooting the spiders with bow from as far away as possible whenever I had the chance.
>>334810176
Sorry bloodborne-babby, the 2deep4u lore seems to be going over your console-cuck head.
>>334810372
Just turn your camera from there, and you will see it.
It was one of the first secrets popping up as webm's in prerelease threads, together with the prayer to get to archdragonpeak.
>>334805094
Yeah, Dancer was pretty easy for me too. Her clear animations made her moves extremely easy to read, so the fight basically reduced to
>hug her butt
>roll roll roll roll
>attack from roll
>>334810304
>>334809849
>Saves are perfectly intact.
feels good
>>334810334
You know that lines up directly with my theory about people becoming dragons I posted earlier in the thread. That would make a hell of a lot more sense since he does shoot lightning, but for how long has he been a dragon. This would mean that dragon transformation has been successful for a long time. Considering that DS1 had a way to transform into a "dragon" I don't find this too far fetched though.
>>334810334
O & S in DS1 are part of the whole Anor Londo ilusion (fake sun etc.)
Nameless King is Gwyn's son who was exiled because of his will to control dragons
Ornstein also known as Dragonslayer went after NK and got smashed
>>334810176
I do not like this post, it annoys me.
>>334810535
Fucking Asif.
>>334810176
You mean.
Actually everything more or less flows out from the first flame, the 4 great souls.
Just the same as everything in Bloodborne flows out from the Great Ones and their blood.
Right now I'm using a Fire Uchigatana +6. Just beat Pontiff. At what point would it be worth changing that infusion to Sharp? I've got like 35 points in DEX in preparation.

He is using a tall helmet with a very fat armor. Kinda figured that would be obvious out anyone without down syndrome.
>>334810927
That's what I saw, but others are saying it's "Y" for Yohrm.
>>334810874
Um. Now? You can go check without actually doing it ya know
>>334805094
Everyone has trouble with different bosses.
>>334806009
What do you call those boney skeleton women with the multiple limbs and the Grudge hair then?
>>334811032
I did check. Looks like currently it's 148 regular + 148 fire damage, compared to 180 + 101 in scaling. Do I just add the numbers? I don't really know how split damage works.
>>334810874
A long ass time ago.
>>334811045
That can't be true. It'd be like saying that different people use different builds, which have different advantages and disadvantages depending on which boss they fight, and that's bollocks.
You're either gud or not.
>>334810874
friendly reminder you can use weapon buffs on sharp uchigatana
>>334811110
Infuse with sharp
Split damage is only good if the enemy is weak to the element
>>334811247
Cool, thanks. Maybe I'll see a decent damage boost.
Should I continue past Pontiff or head back to the water area in Irithyll and go down from that bonfire?
>It's a crystal lizard is leading you to a most obvious ambush episode
>>334801672
I just left this place.
I'm not easily disturbed but holy shit those monsters are fucked up.
Also these things cornered me in this dark room, all at the same time. I dont know how I managed to dodge all of them.
Cant wait to read about the lore of that place in particular.
>>334811092
Never seen a spider that looks like that.
>>334810334
Maybe the Ornstein we fought in Dark Souls 1 was an illusion just like Gwynevere, and tge real Ornstein fucked off with the nameless king whe, Gwyn banished him. Smoughs armor set in DS3 says that Smough was the last defender of Gwynevere and mafe no mention of Ornsteim from what I recall
>>334809942
I miss those videos. I would have loved to see some ds2 or ds3 bosses face off against other bosses in their game.
>>334810985
I am still doubtful of it just being a Y. When I get to playing again tonight, I will keep my eyes peeled for things looking like it.
>>334811440
He's probably talking about those things in the water under Irithyll.
>>334811557
>>334810621
Interesting. On a semi-related note, who are the NPCs that spawn in Dark Anor Londo when you shatter the Gwynevere illusion in the first game? I've done some googling and all I can find is soul-farming strategies.
>>334811557
The Ornstein in DaS1 being an illusion would make most sense IF we didn't get his soul after defeating him.
I mean even in DaS2 where we fight one of his fanboys we still get "old dragonslayer soul" not "ornstein soul".
Maybe CU met with nameless king and gave him his armor or something.
>>334811557
I'd agree with the illusion thing except for the fact that you get his soul for killing him, what kind of an illusion drops souls
>Invade as an absolute madman.
>Enemies still aggro (as both summoned and invader).

Alright.

>There isn't even a single wooden barrel in all of Lost Izalith.
LOVING IT
>>334812026
They simply never get chameleon right. Ever. It had such a great potential but it's all wasted
Speaking of Oreos and Smores, is there any chance that theres going to be a dlc that has to do with Gwynevere? She's the only Gwyn child alive at this point.
