>90% of the chests are mimics
Seems wierd Dark souls 3 didnt bring back chest traps that weren't mimics from 2.
>>335360562
It's closer to 70%.
I don't really mind working to get my reward though.
>>335360562
>1st mimic i kill drops his head
Thank u gods
>>335360562
So? Just treat them are enemies, which they are. And remember, if the chain is facing forward, it's a mimic.
>90% of the doors cannot be opened from this side

You've already seen it, should've killed her while you had the chance m8.
>>335360820
The handmaiden sells it.
>>335360820
Anri has it you moron.
>>335360820
Kill anri
>>335360820
I have bad news for you...
>>335360562
>100% of the mimics are chests
>>335360820
You have to do a cryptic npc questline to get it, or kill the npc for it.
>>335360864
>put it to sleep
>get item
>kill it anyway
>>335360904
DONT KILL HER. SHE HAS A QUESTLINE
Yeah, it really cheapens the mystery and risk of finding treasure. I think I've run into four chests in the entire game that weren't mimics. In fact, in general the game is pretty lazy about how often enemies ambush you. In the Cathedral of the Deep, for instance, almost every single item triggers an ambush from a Thrall, and almost every single enemy is within the aggro range of an enemy a few meters behind it, offscreen. It's not a surprise any more when it happens every single damn time.
>>335360864
>Put it to sleep with a hunters charm
>It's actually kinda sweet to see it sleeping
>It has a big stretch and a yawn when it wakes up
Mimics are alright.
>>335360904
>>335360883
Im confused as shit with the NPC quests..i have gotten pretty far with the Seigward/Patches shit but fuck me, thoose guys are cryptic as hell.
>>335361005
Its a pretty shit questline mate.
>>335360652
Pretty much all the things i liked about souls 2 didn't return, what a shame.
I wish they spawned at random locations and didn't have that stupid chain.
>>335360562
yo op, your armors look good
what is it you're wearing?
>>335361036
>patches
>keeping him alive
>>335361125
This nigga knows what's what, but unfortunately it doesn't change anything for "us" since we know to just give the chest a good smack anyway just in case.
>>335360963
I'm in Lothric Castle right now and heading back to do side stuff. Never figured out how to get where patches is in the cathedral, and Anri is sitting in that church in the Boreal city. No idea how to do those two questswhich is especially annoying since that hollow woman says we're in an arranged marriage.
>>335361017
Word
My friend kills all mimics on sight and I don't understand why
>>335361292
Oh you're on the right track, just keep going with it.
>>335361172
Forgot what it's called. Wanderer-something.
>>335361292
>sitting at that church
got some bad news for you anon....
When will I finally replace the Fallen Knight armor?
>>335360562
Yeah, I found it annoying enough that I just clipped the camera into the chests to see if there was a mimic curled up inside.
>>335361172
>>335361396
Fallen knight set
>>335361348
Do I have to go back and help Anri with anything? Yesterday I poked back to do her questline a bit(as I had just found Horace yesterday)
>>335361172
Looks like the Fallen Knight chest and Lothric Knight helmet.
>>335361016
Wow, me and my friend were literally just talking about that. How after the first two times we were ambushed after taking a single step there was no longer any surprise. We were literally walking a step then turning around because we knew the enemies would always be coming from behind us.
It just feels incredibly lazy and uninspired to me honestly. I still really liked the game, but man that area sucked.
>>335361396
Have you read the description for the pants?
>>335361172
Fallen Knight set. Get it outside Farron Keep bonefire on the Road of Sacrifice
>>335360562
50% are mimics
50% are normal chests
you perceive there to be more mimics as a lot of normal chests are just next to one another
>>335361442
When you find something that looks better.
>>335361556
Its before farron keep nerd
>>335361472
You do realize that you can recognize mimics by looking at the shape of the chain right? Alternatively just hit the chest once and see if it starts moving. It's that way since DaS1 (no mimic in DeS IIRC?)
>>335361540
I forgot. I can't check right now.
>>335361650
>Held beneath leather boots and drab cloth using a knot of rope and bandage, they are dampened and indelibly stained with the misery of flight.
You are wearing piss-stained pants.
>>335361604
Learn to read anon.
>>335361540
>>335361650
Hurr durr it's implied they peed themselves therefore I can't wear it durr.
Hits a little to close to home for some people apparently.
>>335361605
I thought if you hit the chests it would break them and you would lose the item.
>>335360820
When Anri's quest eventuates, no matter how it ends, the shrine maiden will sell it.
>>335361096
> what a shame.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
lmao, no just no.
>>335361685
Or the fact that its found near a swamp and as they are running away they don't have time to clean all the mud and swamp muck off the pants.
Practically no one in this series is a living human, so no biological processes like that. Does anyone even eat in this series?
>>335361685
Yeah, well, I can always take it to the cleaners. Or roll around the swamp or Irrithi-whatever it's called river.
>>335361605
>he doesn't try to lock on
>>335361472
Hit it once or see if the lid breathes
>>335361172
No it really doesnt look good
everyone is wearing it because it looks edgy.
>>335361765
Maybe with super hard-hitting weapons. Just switch to fist or I think a kick would work too. But really, just learn to recognize the shape of the chain, if it's in a circle it's safe, if it's more straight it's a mimic.
Kinda off-topic but
Is there really no way to use a face you forgot to save? I made the perfect face for my last character and i didn't save it, shit's pissing me off.
>>335361765
>>335361893
doesnt happen at all in darksouls 3, it only happened in darksouls 2.

>>335361745
>get outside farron keep bonfire
Theres an outside both in front and behind moron. ANd telling them to go farron keep would make it mean its in fucking farron keep.
Especially dumb considering the 2 bonfires before farron are closer to the damn thing.
I think I fucked up the Anri questline completely. She's not appearing at the church or at the darkmoon tomb, and I didn't find her at the Catacombs. What do?I really want the chameleon spell.
>>335361036
Anri either goes mad. Gets assassinated. Or you do a spooky evil questline with her. There's literally no keeping her alive so if you want to run with the elite knight set eaely just kill them in the road of sacrifices. I would do the evil questline first for dat trophy though.
>>335361945
Go to the rosaria fingers bonfire, go into the rebirth thing, and write down all your sliders.
>>335361991
The bonfire is called Farron Keep. It is the first god damn bonfire you come across entering Farron Keep. I even said on the Road of Sacrifice.
Jesus you autists are the worse. No wonder you can't have friends.
>>335362045
If you do her questline right she lives and appears in the ending anon.
>>335361806
>the "If I don't like something then everything about it is shit" meme
ok kid
>>335362069
Oh sweet, thank you my man.
>>335361867
>>335361472
Or you can just check the chain exactly as you would have done in DaS1. Circular chains are real chests.
>>335361806
end thyself
>>335362036
If you killed skeleton before finding her, theyre gone.
>>335362107
Its called the halfway fortress genius.
>>335362036
Go back to the Catacombs. You have to find her twice there before she appears in Irithyll.
>>335361096
I was a bit let down by DaS2 (even though I played it for like 200 hours) so I don't mind it that much but it's pretty impressive that DaS3 takes so little from the previous game. It's got more DeS than DaS2 in it, and it's not even supposed to take place in the same universe.
It really makes DaS2 feel like some non-canon fanmade game more than ever.
>>335361945
i deleted ds3 yesterday but i wanna play it again today. is there really no way to play it without downloading and installing again? fromsoft sucks
Okay I finished the game yesterday and got the Dark Lord + kill the waifu ending
Ow the fucking edge
Is Usurpation of Fire ending worth getting? I haven't seen it but I heard that it's the best ending
>>335362739
It's the best ending because something actually happens at the end, mind you, it's still a souls ending so not much happens but better than the other 3 endings.
>>335360562
>Dark Souls 2
>There's 2 mimics in total through out the entire game
>>335361945
Kinda off-topic but
Is there really no way to beat the game without conflict? I made the perfect pacifist type character but the game is forcing me to fight, shit's pissing me off.
>>335361297
Your friend is absolutely justified.
Fuck mimics and their bullshit.
Every chest I see gets a charged boosted r2 greataxe swing.
>>335362739

So, chameleon is a no go since I killed Wolnir the Cockblocker?
>>335362828
>>335362731
I didn't mean i was pissed at From though.
>>335362825
7 actually.
5 in the base game, 2 in the DLC.
I liked how they threw that metal chest mimic in the Iron Keep. I got completely thorwn off-guerd because it never came to me that a mimic can imitate a metal chest.
>>335363039
nah boss doesn't matter. find her first around the long stairway with the first skeleball, then on a ledge near wolnir
>>335363073
Same, i never thought i'd ever get tricked by a mimic but it happened. Actually, i missed that one on my first playthrough so i got tricked by the one in right outside of aldia's mansion.
>>335362328
it is up the ladder from the bonfire named farron keep you dunce
>>335361991

>>335361806
Oh boy, it's another
>DARK SOULS 2 IS THE WORST GAME EVER CREATED!
I actually kinda wished they made different types of mimics, or randomize their placement somehow. Once you know how to spot them at a glance it kinda removes any suspense to be had.
(pic is from DS1 but as far as I've encountered in DS3 it's still the same)
mimics are probably one of the most disappointing things about this game desu. Theyre fucking everywhere and they made no attempt to make them somewhat trickier. even das2 had the breakable chests and the metal mimic to change things up a little.
>>335363859
i know, it's a rpg, but it wont let me actually role play
>>335360562
What sword is that?
>Tfw you start seeing "no mimicry ahead" in front of normal chests.
>>335363772
True. Which comes after Road of Sacrifices, so you could get a general idea of where he meant.
The point is moot because the guy still thought he was talking about the Halfway Fortress and was pretty autistic in general.
>>335363934
there are 2 kinds of mimics, but yeah i wanted more out of them too
>>335363934
I don't even understand the point in that chain. Chests can't be broken in 1 hit so why not just hit every single one once to check it.
>>335363978
>Mimics ever being "tricky" when loyd's talismans exist.
>>335360562
Just throw a llyod at them
I've always done this ever since I learned that this makes the mimic sleep then open up for you to grab the item..
>Archdragon Peak
This area is beyond painful and frustrating.
How can I get that kicking ring from Patches?
The faggot won't sell it.
>>335364014
It's an *action* RPG. There are no shitty romances, no conflicts solved through conversation, no pacifistic option, and no easy route through the game. This isn't a Bioware game or Undertale we're talking about here.
>>335364153
maybe they could have made new mimics that are immune? idk man this is the third game theyve been in something should have been done to make them more of a threat.
>>335364106
2 kinds in DS3? the only ones I've come across have been wood.
What is this place, exactly? I know it's dark version of the starting area, but what's the story behind it? Alternate universe? From the past? Future?I gave the eyes to the fire keeper and she was upset after I declined her question.
>>335364567
There's souls 1 mimics and souls 2 "walking on all 4s upside down" mimics
>>335363698

I put a message down in firelink, and saw the exact same there, it even said that it was my message.
spooky shit
>>335364636
>>335364760
read item descriptions, it says it's from the past.
>>335364654
Oh I guess I have seen those I was talking about Different looking when they're hiding, like the metal ones from DS2
>>335360562
Try less than half.
There was one zone where the gimmick was a majority of the chests were mimics.
The rest of the zones never had more than one or two at most.
>>335360562
look at the god damn chains
>>335360562
you do realize that if you look at a mimic, it literally breathes and moves, right?
>>335361442
Fuck sakes I've been wearing fallen knight for ages I don't know if I'm missing armour sets or what but it seems like when I find a set it is either starting gear or robes. Only other set I have is drang and.I don't like it
It least I'm rocking the big sage hat to be slightly different
>>335360562
juts git gud man
>>335360562
>complain about mimics
>posts picture of a chest that isn't one
One job. Also check chains, problem solved.
So quality builds is the only way to go in this game right?
>>335365331
yes
>>335365331
For what? PvP? Greatshields are dominating the meta. PvE? Plenty of viable things.
>>335364278
I feel you bro, I've spent more time helping people as a phantom than progressing on my own. for the most part I can make it by myself but some enemies just wreck me.
Also, I've always been kinda shit a distributing my levels as I go up. I'm going for a STR/DEX build. Probably went a little overboard on the health but I heard you can re-roll at some point if you want. Thoughts?
Dark Souls 3 has great castle designs. It's like I'm watching castle porn. I just love the designs, especially Lothric Castle.
>>335365650
Yeah. Re-roll at Rosario.
>>335365331
>mfw I've been PvP'ing with nothing but a sword and rags. Long roll distance is fucking sweet.
>>335365889
>Dank Sword
Shush you.
>>335364791
because it's the same map, just a different layer
I've heard bleed is great against bosses. How do I do a build focused on it?
I get luck to 40? Hollow gem or sharp with bleed resin?
>>335365889
I love it when someone like you invades me so i only have to hit you twice to kill you.

I think Anri's Straight Sword with 40 luck is pretty fucked up for bleed damage.
It's what speedrunners are using currently I think.
>>335366719

>All the armoursets have one or two things off about them
>Everything's like a slightly different tint so mixing is hard
God dammit
>>335366998
But STR is perfectly good in this game?
>>335364636
Timelines and locations are all merging in on Lothric, since the First Flame can't maintain them anymore. Untended Graves are from a previous/parallel timeline where the flame went out because the Fire Keeper betrayed Ludleth and Gundyr before they could finish their quests.
>>335366865
>>335366929
Anything else come close to it? I'll probably end up using it but if there's something that's not just another straight sword, that'd be great.

Not that guy but I'm having a ton of fun with Greatsword.
Also butchers got A scaling by default.
>>335364378
Kill him and just take his ashes to the other chick.
There's no reason to keep Patches alive.
>>335367030
for the most part I like to play DS games solo, and really like the Dark Sword. I never invade people and I'm not going to kill myself every time I get forcibly embered after a boss. So as far as I see it, if somebody wants to come into MY house and and throw down, I'll fight as dirty as I have to.
>>335367350
Wow he hit you on the half a frame where poise works.

Are paired weapons powerstancing done right? I've been having so much fun fucking around with the Warden's Twinblades, Dancer's Enchanted Swords and Onikiri + Ubadachi.
The movesets feel solid as fuck and I love triggering my Right Eye ring with a single L1.
Are the other paired weapons as fun as these three? I've found a set of paired swords and spears, and a set of paired maces as well.
>Fist weapons are terrible
>hammer weapons are terrible

>dark sorceries are terrible
stop it from
>>335368027
if it has an A scaling in str it's a str weapon.
You're fucking retarded if you think infusions don't change the weapon's build requirements.
>>335368027
But it is a STR weapon if it is scaling with STR. So you can level up STR and use other STR weapons alongside. The Maracas are from the beginning STR weapons and pretty good. So is the BKS.
>>335368069
powerstancing was paired weapons done right.
It's a huge step back
>>335367895
I woulda parried the shit out of your rolling attacks, but I wouldn't have been gankin or using straights to begin with
>>335368069
The twin straight swords are better then any other paired weapons just for their rolling attack that comes out faster then any other
>>335368125
I beat the game twice and I'm honestly already burned out on it, every time I try a new build I just see how weak it is, and how stupid From is regarding shit with Miracles and Faith.
>Hey guys lets put all the stuff Faith users need to do real damage near the very end of the game
>>335368214
btw you cant parry two handed Ultra greatsword or any big sword attacks, its been tried a lot
>>335368027
Who cares if other weapons are more damaging.
There's more to the game than googling "best weapon dark souls 3" or "best build dark souls 3"
>>335368309
Thanks for the tip
brb wall
>>335367316
You can farm the golden angel dudes in Lothric Castle for them
>>335368309
Yeah, you can. Just not the two handed r2's and certain 2 handed r1's. Rolling attacks for sure can.
>>335368392
thanks for the reminder I'll bring the hornet ring
>>335368436
I've never seen anyone parry my rolling with astora great sword
its essentially an R2
>>335368410
They only drop one the first time you kill them AFAIK
>>335368436
the fact that giant weapons can be parried has never sat well with me
>what's that you have a giant axe that's like 500 pounds? well you better not swing at me because this tiny, 5 pound buckler will parry you and there goes half your health
How should I build myself if I wanna do an early-game Watchdog of Farron build? Artorias cosplay (Wolf Sword + Greatshield) or Farron Greatsword and some knight set? What level should I cap at?
>>335368191
I dunno, I personally felt that most of the powerstance movesets were pretty shitty, especially stuff like the polearms. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only powerstanced weapon with a unique heavy attack was the Curved Nil Greatsword.
Being able to pair a wider variety of weapons (like curved+straight sword) was nice though, especially when switching the weapons around yielded a different moveset.
>>335368303
And its not even real damage. I tried lifehunt sycthe with 40 faith, +10 Yorshka chime or w/e, on those bloodborne enemies in ng+
Couldn't even one shot them.
The spell has no reach, and its super slow too.
The hp it gives you is like fucking 60 too.
Wog is fucking attrociously slow too. Who's idea was it to make a crowd control aoe take 5 seconds to cast?
"Hold on 5 mobs charging me, just stand still so i can hit you all for about 5 seconds and probably not even one shot you"
>inb4 "But you don't even have all 4 rings slots dedicated to miracle damage"
>>335368521
It might vary from weapon to weapon, but I've definitely seen some ultras rollings get parried 2handed
>>335360562
That doesn't seem like a very effective environmental adaptation. Wouldn't prey just stop investigating chests because unlikely for something useful?
>>335368131
Quality dark sword is better
>>335368676
Probably stop at 25. I would use a greatsword and maybe a dagger because you will face straight sword spammers all day long and can either parry or outtrade via hyperarmour.
>>335368676
For the invasions so you can get the Swordgrass? Do NOT go past 30 if you want consistent invasions. 20-25 is perfect.
I got to level 34 by the time I wanted the rewards and I only invade maybe once per hour.
>>335368816
parry might not work for astora Greatsword as its rolling r2 is unique to itself
that the rolling r1 BEATS its own R2 in damage and poise and speed
So I know everyone is losing their shit right now over the Dark Sword, but can someone tell me why the Dark Sword specifically?
Does it have some significant advantage over the other straight swords?
I'm using the Lothric Knight Sword because I like it more, but /v/ makes me feel like I'm gimping myself for not using Dark Sword.

I got parried by a skeleton in Carthus using a fully charged 2H R2 on the astora greatsword. Dunno if monster rules are different than players.
What's one of the better greatswords? Currently have 26 Str and 15 Dex. Pretty much STR build right now until I start finding more of the weapon buffing miracles.
>>335368989
better damage and scaling
>>335368997
parry stance is probably different rules
>>335368989
Different moveset, you get Darkwraith shenanigan spins
>>335368989
It has better scaling, a better Weapon Art

In Dark Souls, Mimics are used effectively. You don't meet one until a fair bit into the game, and it's a complete surprise. After you run into the first one, you end up wary and check chests, but you don't find another one for a while after that. So you end up thinking "maybe it was just a one off". Then bam, another Mimic gets you.
In Dark Souls 3, Mimics are so overused you chest every single chest (sometimes twice just incase you didn't fully hit with the first attack). You will never be surprised my a Mimic once. Mimics are infact so common, it's more accurate to say you're checking to see if that Mimic is a chest instead of checking to see if that chest is a Mimic.
This small thing highlights a major problem with the way all of Dark Souls 3 is designed. Things that could be challenging and surprise players end up overused as fuck and eventually it stops phasing you because you've seen it so many times before you know exactly what to expect.
Remember the archers in Anor Londo? Of course you do, that shit was memorable and hard and made you think "this is fucking bullshit". Dark Souls 3 has archers around every fucking corner and you barely even remember because it's so fucking overused.
>>335368989
It has deceptively large range and having the greatsword stomp gives it hyperarmor on command which is something other straightswords don't really have.
People also like it for its damage, and while early on it will probably do a little more damage than other straight swords, eventually even the basic longsword is exactly on par with it.
What's the best infusion for Warden Twinblades, guys?
>>335369035
Astora Greatsword, great moveset, and it only weighs 8.0
>>335368957
>its rolling r2 is unique to itself
If you use R2 after a roll you'll do the 2nd attack of the R2-R2 string.
Yhorms Great Machete, Greataxe, or Black Knight Greataxe?
>>335369195
>Anor Londo archers == all archers.
I see.
>>335369060
This shit makes me so confused.
>>335360562
with that healthbar you don't need to worry about being tricked by mimics
>>335369231
I just wish it had the standard Greatsword vertical chops when 2-handing. Horizontal swipes just seem to hang there for fucking ever. It's got a lot of cool shit for pvp, but in pve it's a real pain in the ass. Especially when you swipe at a group and bounce off a tiny-ass shield on the dude in the back for no reason.
>>335369385
Dark Souls 3 tries to use lots of archers with knockbacks in small places several times, including in Anor Londo, and it fails miserably every time.
Hell, Anor Londo in DS3 has like 5 fucking archers and it's literally a joke compared to the 2 in Dark Souls.
It's so overused that by the time you finally get here, you've seen and done it so many times before you can do it with your eyes closed at this point.
>>335369035
Fume Ultrafunsword, even after its nerf, is still insanely powerful and can be buffed.
>>335369621
I also saw two instances of greatbow archers being used (still at Lothric Castle). First one in Snow Castle and the 2nd one in Anor Londo Annex. Actually getting past that area is easy if you take a different route.
Anyone else feels like the action queues are worse than in the other games?
>>335369880
Yeah, the buffer is ridiculous in this game.
>>335369880
This fucking buffer fucks me up so much with my great machete which uses a shitton of stamina. I fucking HATE this shit.
>>335369880
>>335370209
Yeah, I dont really understand it.
If I press circle too late, and have just gotten hit when i press it, I'll immediately roll when my like 2 second stun animation is over, and every boss in this game's movesets punish you for immediately rolling out.
Anyone else building faith and using lightning weapons because min-maxers are casual af?
>>335369195
Dark Souls 3 is like an inversion of DaS tropes. Don't tell me if you expected the first chest to be a mimic, you didn't.
>>335370738
I tried to start a faith character but heal was shit and used wayy too much fp for what it did, and there were no offensive miracles until end game.and the offensive miracles are slow and don't do damage anyway
>>335370794
After DaS1 I expect every single chest to be a mimic.
>>335369195
What are you talking about?
Mimics happen constantly after the first one, the second pair of chests contains one right when you get to londo, behind the sentinels, and once you get inside the castle the first two you're likely to run into are both mimics, the only ones that weren't mimics were havels equipment, that came with a mimic in the room, and the one by the first gargoyle.

>>335367940
What do you mean by every man for himself? Isn't the whole point of invading to kill the host?
>>335371206
The only thing that seemed worth it was the chime's weapon art, it healed for fucking more than heal did, with 1/4th the fp usage.
Who cares if it was slow that shit is sooo good
>>335370871
This, I tried a str/faith build, and the only thing I do with faith is some buffs.
Which are the best sorceries/pyromancies/miracles and why?
>>335362117
Fuck you
FUCK YOU
DONT FUCKING SAY THAT WITHOUT A SOURCE
>>335371327
>mfw finding out chimes have a weapon art
>mfw I only need to kill 2 more bosses
>>335371341
I mean, I like great heal. With my FP i was able to heal more than max estus twice before needing to drink blue.
Just spec'd to have 10 blue, and 5 yellow for the boss fight.
Sunlight blade and Sacred Oats are yummy too
>>335371412
But it's right, in the ending you see her there with the other hollows as you become their lord.
>>335367443
I beat the game with a Heavy Reinforced Club. It's fast, does a lot of poise damage, causes bleeding, and does good damage.
It's range is kinda shit though.
>>335371412
She's kneeling in the lord of hollows ending. Unless there's some other npc in the elite knight set for no reason.
Anyone know if it's possible to get more than one Way of White circlet?
Reminder to give hosts trying to co-op to Anor Londo no passage, as phantom or invader

Fun as fuck. Using dried finger in that area is like turning on Pandora's Box mode.
>most armors in the game are shit
>cathedral knight armor is overall the best one and i've been using it for most of the game
They really fucked up the weapon and armor balancing in this game.Also armor in general is pretty shitty this time around
>>335372831
Armour in DaS3 is exactly like armour in Bloodborne. Most sets provide similar stats with a few specialized sets, but it's mostly up to one's personal tastes to decide what they wear.
Fashion souls, baby.
>>335372819
Dried fingers are amazing man. Used them in Farron Keep alone, ended up having like 10 invasions back to back
Had so many fucking 2v1s too.
Was badass, felt like I really earned the right to rest at the bonfire and leave.
>>335369880
what weapon?
>>335373071
Nowhere near the same level as Bloodborne.
If you have 10% resistance you shave off 1/10th of dmg, 20% is 1/5, 25% is 1/4. It's a relatively big reduction.
However since it's pure % based reduction that means that even early dogshit enemies can still dish out a lot.
>>335373178
Executioners greatsword, found in the cemetary before cathedral.
>>335367502
>it basically was
>today i learned a director is literally an entire company
youre so fucking retarded i am in pain.
>>335373321
At around 23% it gets diminishing returns and the calculations start changing. You don't really have what is says after that number
>>335373178
executioner greatsword.
deals blunt (strike) dmg and drains FP on enemy death.
>>335373342
>>335373508
oh I found that haha. Didn't realize the end of it looks flat like that, neat.
>>335373490
What? It basically was just fan faction, it literally wasn't relevant to the story at all, especially the ending, until they came out with the dlc, even then its still just silly and bad.
>>335360562
>'prepare to die'
The meme needs to die.
>>335367350
if this were real PvP he would have just rolled back after the first blow and drank.
Should I stick with Drang hammers or go Dark sword?
Just entered the swamp.
I've heard it's the drake sword of DaS3 and would rather not go full crutch.
Got killed by an unarmed goatwolfman who just fucking jumped on the spot constantly.
I was having such a good no death run since getting to the cathedral as well.
>>335373909
Drake sword was too good when you got it, but quickly became shit, so Dark Sword isn't really a good comparison. The Astora Straight sword would probably be more like the Drake Sword, since it has abnormally high raw damage, even more so when made raw, but has horrendously bad scaling meaning everything surpasses it quickly.
Also just use whatever the fuck you like. Who gives a shit.
Doing a quality build, should I prioritize endurance and health before str and dex?
>>335373642
It's based on real executioner swords. I like how it looks.
>>335369880
I really love DS3 in a lot of ways, but the shit the fucked up camera, and the actually fucking insane input buffer, really gets on my nerves. DS3 has much better level design, enemy design, boss design, and game flow than DS2, but it feels like a step back in so many ways as well. The weapon selection, build viability, length, replay-ability, PVP, and a lot of technical aspects were so far superior in DS2.
What is an armor set that looks good with dancer helmet? I wanted to wear the full armor but my ass doesn't look as good as hers. I sill don't want to lose on that amazing veil.
>>335374474
Dark sword is closer to the BKH/BKS, only an unsuspecting player is far more likely to find and wield it.
>>335374880
haven't got the dancer set yet, but have you tried the silver knight armor?
