How the fuck do I deal with Farron Keep? I can't move, I have to keep fat rolling to get anywhere, I'm poisoned, these giant fuckers are coming for me and there's nothing I can do about it.
the poison does literally insignificant damage
just estus and calmly deal with stuff
>>337391232
hit things till they die
use dagger ability to slide around and you can avoid the big fuckers so that tells me youre blindly walkin anywhere so stop being retarded
>>337391232
just run for the fires, grab the one bone shard out of that octagonal thing with the slugs then head for the abyss watchers
you can skip like 70% of this area and never have to deal with the forest/poison godzilla things
>>337391232
Most of the enemies seem to be weak to fire. The only enemies that I seriously had trouble with were the goat creatures that can kick you in the face and the gigantic Ghru towers that can swarm you with red skulls if you're not careful.
SL 30-50 should get you some decent summons if you seriously need help. The area's not nearly as big as you might think it is. You could look up a map and see that the layout is pretty simple, just dense with enemies.
>>337391232
Follow the walls.
Expect to die a few times, so don't bother kindling yourself.
Look to the sky for the flames to see what fire you need to extinguish.
Avoid the big guys with the trees for now.
Avoid the stationary beasts that don't hold weapons for now.
Look for the ladder guarded by 5 leeches to find a semi-secret area with a bonfire.
Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Only three major land masses, and one of them is connected to a bonfire that's very close to the gate you need to pass. Again, it's not nearly as big or difficult as it seems

I found Farron Keep to be the easiest poison swamp area of all the Souls games. I just put on my strongest poison resist gear and started trudging through it. At one point I picked up some more purple moss from Firelink, but it's really not bad at all. The most dangerous things there are the giant Bloodborne monsters with trees.
Also pay attention to the water. Anywhere that isn't covered in lily pads or moss or whatever isn't deep enough to slow you down. So if you have to fight things in areas like that, try to find somewhere you can actually move around in.
>>337391232
Buy a lot of Moss to cure poison.
Get a dagger to quick step.
Use bow to finely aggro and kite.
Done
>>337391832
Ah, that sounds great. I was wondering if that was possible.
>>337391753
Oh that's useful, thank you.
Thankfully poison isn't as apocalyptically strong as it was in Bloodborne. I shat myself for a couple seconds when I saw myself getting poisoned by the marsh, until I realized it was doing shit all to me.

You should probably stop playing if you unironically die outside a boss battle.
>>337391232
use anything with quickstep and fly through the muck.
Moss is your friend
>>337392056
I'm pretty sure there are other weapons/shields that passively heal you, but I use the double blessed cestus because they're 0.5 weight.
>>337391832
>two cestus
>+10 weapons
>sun princess ring
If youve made it that far the swamp shouldnt be a problem.
>>337392118
>unironically die
>as opposed to ironically dying
>>337392118
you should probably stop breathing if you unironically can't handle different tendencies.
>>337392307
Speaking of quickstep, I haven't been using the special ability stuff at all so far (knight). Is it something I should be taking advantage of?
>>337392352
The swamp isn't a problem to begin with, it's just nice to be able to go through it NG+X without sweating nickel and dime poison.
Equip an Axe as a secondary and use it's weapon art to scuttle across the area. Then switch to your main weapon for enemies.
>>337392103
This. Poison should have been thrown out and toxic should have taken its place.
>>337392435
Special attack of the longsword (and many straight swords) comes in handy. 2H-L2 + R1 is a shield breaker. 2H-L2 + R2 is a charging thrust that kebabs a lot of shit.
>>337392435
>should I be taking advantage of the tools at my disposal?
>>337392525
they're both in the game autismo, which makes it even worse if you get poisoned AND toxified
>>337391232
>>337391318
fucking this it does 3 damage a tick fucking 3.
>>337392935
>both in the game
Thats the problem. Poison is so shit it might as well not be in the game. Replace all areas that use poison with toxic and things become much more interesting.
