just go buy the white soapstone and get summoned,
kill the boss with someone, you'll get kindled,
then you can summon someone to help you,

I think you might have brain damage if you can't beat Vordt by yourself

Magic fags, everyone. Why don't you roll a knight instead and invest in vitality fuccboi?
>>
How come people have problems with Vordt? I beat him without taking any damage the first time. He is so extremely slow, and none of his attacks are really dangerous.

I don't have qualms with summoning. You've paid for the game so do whatever you want, but it does make the game considerably easier, even to the point where you don't have to do anything during boss fights.

If you don't care about that aspect of the game then go ahead

He's honestly easier than the first boss of the game, partially because you can level yourself up at that point.

he refuses to learn. He blames everything on anything but himself, I know its a meme and all, but this is really how he is. He is physically incapable of learning. I honestly think he might have a disability, but just no one ever found out/cared cause he's also a foul person.

There is no problem with this. Raw mail breaker or rapier work fine until you have enough estus shards to go full magic. You can still destroy bosses with pure magic even at the beginning. Just don't invest any points into dex and strength.

Vordt is one of those "hug his ass" bosses. Just stay behind him all the time and you shouldn't get much damage, if any. He's really one of the easiest bosses in the game, I had more trouble with the tutorial boss.

If it's your first Souls game it might help to take some time to study how the gameplay works, learn how to roll properly, familiarize yourself with invincibility frames etc... Also going for a magic build if you're having trouble with Vordt is probably a bad idea, restart with a knight or something.

I sometimes forget most people actually fight most bosses first time with help of summons, and generally play online with signs everywhere helping them.

It's funny that this is the fanbase that always shits on other games for being too easy and holding your hand.

I thought the profaned flame was a mixture of chaos flames + abyss, because there was an abyss manifestation in the profaned capital before it was known as such. The Abyss Watchers purged the profaned capital, and Pontiff and Aldrich decided to claim whatever was left of the abyss for themselves. Or something.

Indeed. Dark infusion gives more damage than Crystal infusion, even at 40 int and no Faith. It's even better than Crystal Magic Weapon.

All spells are useless except the arrow spells.
Great Magic Soul arrow goes for 15 FP and does 350~ dmg for me last time I tried.
Soul Spear goes for 50 FP and does 380~ dmg.

It's like everyone that tested playing a mage just went for a soul arrow-only cheese build and put their stamp of approval on the entire archetype. I tried doing a spellsword hybrid but had a shit time going through the entire game.

I just ended up getting my dark claymore, running around killing everything with that and completely wasting my int until I got the Moonlight Greatsword. And I'm only using that because of its cool attacks. I bet my Dark Claymore still would outdamage it if I upgraded it to +10.

There, you can now easily beat every enemy in the game without fail no matter which weapon you use or what level you're at.

>>335784908
Seriously though. The better mage weapons are later on in the game.
Best of sticking to a decent RAW weapon that doesn't take up too much stamina. Then you can at least hit 'n' run if you need to.
Or if you have the fire gem gift. Get a fire weapon like a fire longsword. Very handy

Ignore edgelords like this.

>IF YOU DO NOT SUMMON CUCULUS TO FIGHT THE DEMON KING YOU MISS OUT ON HER WEAPON and armor set (only the armor set can be dropped by killing Cornyx though).

>If you don't summon the Pale Shade of Londor you miss out on a gesture
>If you don't summon Gotthard you miss out on "by my sword"
>If you don't summon Heyzel after beating her twice you miss out on a gesture.
These three you can do in NG+ and then black soapstone them out.

But for Cuculus she's bound to permanently get pummeled by the Demon King and getting her weapon will be that much more difficult.

TL;DR summon the NPC phantoms.

If you summon any phantoms, ever, or look up shit to spoil it for yourself on your first playthrough you're a certified retard and have no right to ever discuss this game

Any phantom that helps you completely trivializes all the boss fights, making them as hard as typing /kill in a console.

Completely worthless.
>>
>>335787680
you were a fucking waste of an ember
the host actually would have been better off without you because the dancer would do less damage and have less HP

you didn't even distract the boss, you just sat there doing no fucking damage while the host got shit on

I wish this game had a system for rating summons, so people could see how many "positive" and "negative "feedbacks there were for them

You can be summoned, but you can't be invaded or summon people into areas where you've beaten the boss already, its always been like this

It doesn't have to be important to you as long as you don't get upset if people dismiss your opinions on anything Dark Souls after learning you summoned help

Summoning phantoms is basically the "easy mode/I just want the story" setting of this game

How about you just accept this?
You don't get to play on easy yet at the same time discuss the "difficulty" of a boss fight. Surely you can comprehend this.

Yes. And I learned the hard way after listening to those edgelords because I missed out on Cornyx's armor and Cuculus' weapon. Cuculus drops both. This means I'll eventually kill my pyro master.

Never listen to the edgelords who say don't summon or you're a scrub.
Because AI is unpredictable and boss HP inflates when you summon accordingly. Its as much as a challenge to keep them alive as they provide the boss with a different target to lock on.
Try summoning Eygon for Crystal Sage and he can die to that boss if you just watch him fight.
But best of all by asking them for help sometimes they actually reward you.

Back in the day making Solaire not die to the centipede demon was a nightmare. It was certainly a tougher challenge fighting it together than it was solo.

Seriously how the FUCK are people finding this game hard?? This game is by far the easiest souls game. It so fucking mind boggling this has to be this guys first souls game or something but even if you ask him or anyone else having a hard time with it they answer that "No i've been playing souls since DeS" ok. IF this is true then it's impossible for you to have hard time with this fucking babby version of a souls game. Shit even BB was harder. It's making me mad that it has now become a fucking "Epic gamers badge xDD" to be a souls veteran or something and it has ruined the community that once was!

Case in point the "PvP" community has gone to shit now everyone is super fucking serious talking about meta and some shit like that it's literally LoL tier now. I hope this is the last souls game i really do.

Pyromancy was unironically OP as all living fuck in DS1, DS2 fixed it in terms of making it something you had to spec into rather than "lel get one or two slots of ATT, dupe a couple boss souls and then have access to 2 out of 4 of the best spells in the entire game". I'm not a huge fan of how high some of the requirements are though, who the FUCK thought that Warmth justifies such a high faith requirement.

>Pyromancy was unironically OP as all living fuck in DS1
It was just the poor man's magic. It gave you a ranged option that could actually do damage if you were running a tanky STR build
>>
>>335798741
Black Flame and Great Combustion were some of the absolute best PVP spells in the entire game, Great Chaos Fireball was incredibly good for PVE, and ATT was so easy to come by in DS1 that there was essentially no reason to run them unless you're using some sort of meme build. The way DS2 gave it scaling made it so that it required some sort of investment to be powerful.
