I was fairly sure they were about to fuck each other.
No, he is.
Had real bad hatred for this pajama wearing, faceless fuck for all the suffering he's caused. Especially to Dancer, an innocent qt.
>>335760018
Seriously, how could Sulyvhan ruin such quality waifu material?
>>335760018
Nah. He's cool and all but the atmosphere and dialogue in Twin Princesa was god tier
>>335759775

Question : do you guys even use the sword arts in this game?
Most of the time i completely forget they're there. I check them out when I get a new weapon, but i never use them in combat. Honestly, if im not dodging, i either R1 spam or if I'm using my ultra greatsword, ill use a charged R2 occasionally
>>335761242
I use the weapon art of the longswords all the time. It's a kick that's always useful. Does more stamina damage than the kick and if the guy isn't blocking, does a lot of damage anyway.
>>335760949
Also
>Enslaves, murders/tortures all the giants
>Genocided magic users who didn't bend knee to the church of the deep
>Abused poor dancer after mind raping her, kidnapping her from her royal family and making her his private sex slave
Fuck this nigga. I wanted to make the piece of shit suffer.
Death was WAY too good for him.
Also he made dancer cater for his fucking weird flame fetish, so he never tapped that wonderful ass. Just jerked off in a corner imagining flame while dancer preformed with those two swords to mimic fire.
>>335761242
The only sword arts I use are the guard breakers, e.g. long sword one and the 2kat flying move. Fuck those spear-and-shield Lothric knights
>>335760018
Pontiff is the best bad guy
Lothric is the best misunderstood good guy
i just went into ng++ i'm coming for your ass lothric. need rings and the second ending for platinum then i'm gonna replay ds1.
>>335761242
Yeah, they're really useful for guard breaking or that extra reach. The poise ones and the lightning from Nameless King's spear are also good. Also, dash from daggers is really useful for the swamp or backstabs.
>>335761242
Stances: generally useless.
At times it's useful for breaking shields but I find that most of them don't do enough damage or have good enough tracking for pvp. Most have hyperarmor but be aware a number of them can be parried. In pve I never use them.
>buffs: kinda fun
I love this. I liked it in DS2 and BB too. It's not make or break, but hey it adds variety.
>Charge: Great
If you time it in pvp it's one of the best estus punishes. Pve it's great like the two-hand rifle spear charge.
>Movesets: great
Having more moves are always good, and most are quick to use and allow for some mixups or parry baits
Overall? I'm meh on them. Transform weapons were better to me, but those don't belong in DS.
>>335761242
The Champs Halberd has a god tier one, its charge+sweep is like an anti-gank machine
>>335761812
Does boss hp go crazy high?
>>335762135
in ng+ not at all if anything i found it easy because i'm so over leveled. nameless king is still a tank so i just skipped him lol.
>>335762274
Skip him? His soul gives three items through transposition . What a waste
I honestly think he's the best boss in the game, if not the series.
When he whispers "For that is our curse" into the brother's ear, I got chills down my spine.
The way he says it, the way the brother sluggishly gets back up to keep fighting no matter what just like the player (although the player does so because of determination, not magic), it really is the Souls series wrapped into a boss.
>>335762435
well i cant skip him now because i need a ring in the area after him so it's going to be even harder.
>>335762552
you also need the miracle from his soul but you probably got that on NG
>>335762135
This isn't Demon's Souls where NG+ gives everything a billion HP and damage.
Not sure on the numbers but its probably around 50% more compared to NG.
>>335762598
of course i did. only need stray demon in ng+ for his pyromancy
Is Lorian the most tragic person in the game?
>>335761650
>Death was WAY too good for him
>summon two phantoms and kill him in less than 2 minutes, making him look like a huge bitch
pretty satisfying, really
>>335762959
>summoning phantoms
uninstall/take the disk out and get a refund
>>335762959
I just wish there was more to show his feath was painful and unpleasant. I envision a cutscene would play where Pontiff is weak from the fight, we slap his blades out of his hands and kick him down. Too weak to get back up we take both of his blades and shank him in the chest unrelentlessly until they both break.
>>335763194
>Implying the pontiff deserves a fair fight
The guilty pay the price
Pontiff and Aldrich did nothing wrong
>>335760018
What's the typical level for people around Pontiff?
My character at him right now is SL40 with a +5 weapon.
>>335763358
That's way out of character for the series though.
Soul of Cinder is bar none the best fight.
>>335763535
>That gywn sountrack in 2nd phase
Favorite soundtrack is still Abyss watchers though.
>>335763436
>One ate the innocent trap and the other abused and ruined a qt.
Get the fck outta here trash.
>>335763482
How? With the Wyvenn fight we do something like that? What's stopping a cutacene like that from happening? Make the boss deaths memorable instead of falling on the knees and puffing away into sparkly dust. I know for a fact in the Souls universe all bodies stay.
>>335763535
Too easy. Was a boring fight. Had certain styles that were useless lile magic and spear.

Sorry but I don't use Katanas so therefore I'm not edgy.

The champ is probably tied with Ornstein and Smogh for best souls fights for me
>>335763652
>Gwyn soundtrack
I feel like I'm the only person who hated that part. Felt kinda cheap.
I've already fought Gwyn. I've already felt all the feels that music can give. Give me something new to feel.
>>335764125
>I feel like I'm the only person who hated that part.
That's because you're retarded anon.
>>335764125
It's supposed to be a manifestation of all the lords who linked the fire throughout the series. Of course they'd reuse some similar music for it. At least he wasn't piss easy to kill like gywn himself was.
>>335764125
It's more fanservice, but it's some I can get behind. After all, Cinder is basically the chosen undead from DS1, so the idea that they became the kind of person that gwyn once was is pretty neat.
Then again, I could be completely off.
>>335763915
The gods brought the age of dark sooner than intended, Gwyndolin and his dark sun shit did it even faster.
>>335764070
How? you can just parry him all day
>>335760949
>cursed the Dancer
Wait what did Sully do with yoga pants boss?
>>335764524
I don't use anything that parries ever. My weapon of choice was the twin spears
>>335764070
What? It's basically the first boss again he's so fucking easy.
>>335764641

What part of that makes her grow giant?
>>335760575
>Seriously, how could Sulyvhan ruin such quality waifu material?
He didn't, he had her as a Dancer long before she became a monster.
He probably crushed that pussy on a nightly basis.
>>335763358
It'll be just like one of your Japanese animes
>>335764761
and still not fast or aggresive enough. He's still incredabley easy and most decent players will beat him first go.
>>335764667
Other than learning some sick ass 5 hit combos and being aggressive as fuck no. Champs a real dick to melee builds who don't spam parries.
>>335764641
She used to be a descendant of royalty. He gave her two swords to mimic his and made her a dancerAKA personal concubine, but then sent her out as an Outrider knight because she could have opposed him
>>335759775
Any fight where you beat up two crippled faggots is the best fight.
>>335764860
But I hate chinese cartoons though anon.
>>335764908
>Ever needing parries to beat him in melee
I bet you summon for bosses too. I done this in the basic pyromancer gear, it's not hard to dodge anon, it's kinda what the game is about
>>335764418
You've got it backwards. They delayed it longer than intended. Gwyndolin was the only one left trying to make sure the flames didn't go out for good.
>>335764845
Whatever he did to the other outrider knights, like Vordt. Fucking magic, I guess.

Oh great yet another thread turning into a "Oh you thought *insert boss was hard* I did it one handed and blindfolded, scrub" shit show. Believe it or not every boss is easy as fuck when you're rolling out of range chucking fireballs.
>>335765238
i had someone summon me and he had 2 other phantoms for lothric. at the start of the fight lorian teleports behind you and he 3 hit combo the host to death.
>>335764891
>I beat him first try so that mean other people have to or they suk! hes so ez!
Fuck off. Different builds and different playstyles have trouble with different bosses.

because it's funny, anon. Don't you like funny things?
>>335765206
>Giant girls are the best ever at everything
That's why pontiff made her grow giant. He may be an asshole, but he has good taste.
>>335765238
Can't you summon phantoms and enter the fight before they load in and he'll still have normal hp?
>>335765436
Great assumption there asshat I never said I was chucking fireballs, I used a bastard sword.
>>335761650
Aldrich is the real menace, his influence and power over people created such monsters like Pontiff.
Kind of neat honestly, I liked how so much shit in the world seemed to be under Aldrichs control and his insanely large cult.

>>335765689
>not wanting a piece of that trap ass.
What're you gay?
>>335764908
Hes easy for melee. I beat him first try
>>335765689
That's a good thing. Women are disgusting and could never be cute like him.
>>335763915
Brought "feminine penis" memeing faggots into the threads and ruined fucking everything.
>>335765786
>blocking
You're just as bad as a parry fag.
>>335765682
Yeah but Pontiff seemed to do all his dirty work. He did nothing but fuck all while locked up beneath Anor Londo.
>>335760949
It makes me wonder why Lothric was even the poster-boy for the boss in this game. 99% of the game is you chasing after Aldrich/Pontiff anyways.
>>335765449
rip
>>335765526
Yeah I guess it's fun. But on my end I was just trying to grind more souls and help others with the bosses. But instead I don't get much because hosts die all the time from summoning a bunch of phantoms. Then the boss has too much health and ends up killing everyone.
>>335765623
>>335765713
I'm not sure if it's true. I'll be damned if it is. Multiple times I've been summoned when the host and his phantom were fighting the boss at the dragon armorer fight.
>>335765724
I feel you, anon. I feel you deeply.
>>335765854
>trying to be melee
>wont use blocks or parry
Bud those are part of melee, do you really just do every boss one way and not have different items to swap out?
>>335765682
Aldrich is like Ganon - he's a bigger evil but he doesn't really do shit by the time the player character sets out on his journey.
Being an entirely optional encounter doesn't help things either.

I felt like they hyped up Yhorm more than anything at least in the opening. I figured he'd be the end all, but he wasn't even close.
>>335766016
Gear as in clothing you fucking tard.
>>335766006
It's okay you summoned or are just plain shit at the game, it's not for everyone.
>>335762545Lothric is the player, he tells his character to get up and keep fighting.That said, I felt Dancer was just so much mroe fun than almost anyone else in the game. Abyss Watchers were a hoot, too. I wish I could just go in and re-fight them over and over with more people. The fight was already fun alone, but in NG+ I summoned two people for the hell of it. The place was a madhouse.
>>335766002
You have to kill Aldrich though. Not optional
>>335763652
This, so much this.
>>335766002
Aldrich is optional?
>>335766040
I do that too, but I still have a parry dagger and a greatshield, admittedly the greatshield doesnt get much use.
>>335766114
Anyone else find it hard to believe Yhorm is a giant? He's fucking TINY compared to his bretheren. Is he suppose to be a mongrel half-breed? Also I find it cute he wears his chainmail hood like that to resemble the faceless giants.
>>335766209
He/she/it is one of the lords of cinder so no.
>always wonder why character looks different graphically after sitting at bonfire
>realize it's just your character cleaning themselves of dried blood
Never knew.
>>335760575
>>335766254
He's the descendant of the Giant lords from 2
>>335766056
I like it.
Or at least I would if he didn't make Gwynevere shrink and lose her voice. Rosaria is a still a cute, but she doesn't have near as much art.
>>335766278
It's ash
>>335766327
But...but those giants don't have faces. So is he halfbred with humans?
>>335766142
Come back to me when you complete bloodborne. A more difficult game where bosses dont die in 5 hits
>>335766254
He has a face?
>>335766393
Already did, kos was the biggest issue for me but I got him eventually. Gehrman was a joke and moon presence was even more laughable.

Nigger do you even pay attention? Do siegwards questline and he'll help you with Yhorm. A cutscene will play and you can see Yhorms face. He's got glowy eyes, nose, mouth everything.
Do you think Lothric blows Lorian as an apology for cursing him
>>335766380
I think they didnt have faces because of artistic liberties. Miyazaki ducked out halfway through development and as seen in 3 there are shit loads of Giant stuff and relics. I think they probably always were meant to have the red glowy eyes and dark faces in that face hole thing, but it never happened in 2.
>>335766540

>>335766612

>>335766767I know ;_;
>>335763664
>With the Wyvern fight we do something like that
It is perfectly rational to stab a fucking dragon in the head more than once to actually make sure you kill it, given it clearly was still alive after the first stab. Pontiff is firmly in the humanoid zone and that's just really pointlessly edgy.
>>335766939
Well the little message before Yhorms throne says "Only a storm can fell a greatwood" referencing the fact that he's a giant like the ones from 2 who were all wooden and stuff. I think it's literally just an artistic liberty kinda situation here.

>>335767491
What From doesn't get is that the Blueberry Duo was designed in a game where you could be invaded while Hollow and thus would not have phantoms to protect you.

>when the Soul of Cinder is your character from DS1 that kindled Gwyn's flame
He looked like both a bonfire, and someone resting at a bonfire, from afar.
>>335759775
I thought they were the best boss of the game, and definitely one of the best of the series. No other boss fight has made me feel anything for a boss, except wanting to kill him, other than Astrea, Ludwig, Artorias, and Gwyn. It was so fucking good. I actually think I died a few times just because I was so captivated with the boss fight. Of course they're not the hardest, that goes to either Pontiff, Champion, or NK, but goddamn, it was just a fun boss.
>>335767720
Covenants just feel like a complete afterthought in this game like they did in DaS1 but worse. How did so many people sit in one room, talk over Covenants, and actually green light the system they have now, on top of having TWO COVENANTS IN ONE GAME THAT ARE LITERALLY THE SAME THING, SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE, HAVE THE SAME LEADER, GIVE THE SAME REWARDS.
>>335768153
SoC was seriously the best thing about DaS3 for me, after seeing what Miyazaki did to Anor Londo and Gwyndolin, seeing Soul of Cinder and fighting him really put a smile on my face. Easily one of the best Souls bosses in the series and easily the best final boss of the series.

This was probably the biggest reason why blueberrieswould've been good if not for soul memory.

I wouldn't be surprised if even 10% of players were WoBs in DaS3.

Validate my decision before I waste time. Don't worry about the 8 vitality, I already calculated my fashion souls and I'll come in just below the threshold with the look I've wanted.
Another thing: should I drop endurance and vigor each by three points to boost attunement up to 30 for that sweet 233 FP and 5 slots?
Is deprived basically the best class to start our with in making any build? I haven't looked too deep into it but 10 in all stats at level 1 seems like a good deal to me.
>>335768384
They seriously just need to add the Blue Eye Orb that searches for people currently being Invaded. Way of Blue does nothing but hinder Blue Sentinels / Blades of the Darkmoon.
