Once, in New Londo. 420 hours DUDE

Saw two of em in the same place in Anor Londo.
Near where you go up the stairs to the Giant Blacksmith.
No idea what they were I just killed them.

I saw one in the Undead Parish church once. Given that I've been through that area roughly 3^10*9 times, I nearly shat my pants at the sight of something new, hostile and unexpected.

Yes. But only 2 or 3 times. Never knew what the fuck it was until I stopped seeing them.

Pfft, nice fake website lol. Did you just make that yourself?

So that's what they. I've seen maybe 4 in 50 hours.

I saw a few PvPing in Anor Londo. I remember picking off the first one I saw with arrows because it spooked me and I didn't think there was anything left to discover in the base game.

Since this is a dark souls thread I want to ask a question that is unrelated to the weird spooky enemies.

I started my game up first time om the unpatch/offline dark souls on my xbox 360 and been playing with it unpatched and offline for a while now.

Now I just now got my own wifi to connect to online and I am planning on going online with dark souls but I'm afraid that if I start it up online the next time I sign on and download the update, will it corrupt my old save?

Because I put right about 2000 hours into my offline gamemode and now facing this possibility of going online and accepting the update will ruin my current save file and forces me to restart all over again.

Can someone from experience tell me will it or will it not destroy my current play through if I go online with it?
>>
>>340700346
It won't ruin your save.
>>
>>340700598
You sure because I heard mixt stories on that it does and it doesn't

Two I think, one was in the church of undead parish and I forget where the other was
>>
>>340697310
I saw one once before. I've seen about 3 today.

I've encountered 4-5.

Weirdest place was at Anor Londo archers.

I played offline for a long time on 360 before getting the patch and it was fine. I'm not sure if it was the most recent patch because this was around 2013 when I did it.... then eventually I switched to the Steam version like everybody else.

Doesn't DS run at 60 fps on modern integrated intel graphichs?

Are you playing online?

I saw one on that bridge by the cat bitch in Gankroot Forest, but I don't think it was a red phantom version of it
>>
>>340697310
Yes, but only one. On PS3 years ago in the Parish. Caught me by complete surprise when I was getting touhou'd just walking from Firelink to Andre from the elevator.

Fun Fact: The direction booklet for DS1 literally makes mention of vagrants. It is on one of the final pages of the booklet. I am pretty sure FROM intended for them to be more common or something, but it just didn't work out that way obviously.

ive never even heard of these till now

are they in DS2 or 3 or BB?

I had a friend who found that, the Titanite demon weapon, and 2 Black Knight weapons on his first playthrough

Well, with more players around there are more chances of finding one, you still need to get lucky, maybe if you keep playing a lot you might find one

Played through the game some ten times, never saw one

I knew that they existed; I just never ran into them.

Alright I'm level 21 and I'm at the great hollow and I am armed with the drake's sword and the grass crest shield and the only rings I have on is the gold ring I got from that spikey head dude and the wolf ring!

It's cause they only appear if someone near you, or you, die with a ton of souls and/or Humanity on you and pass by there on a clean load of the area. It will only be there for one instance for whoever is the next to load up after a big loss.
>>
>>340697310
I actually did once, although I don't think i did anything with it and it ran away or something.

Found it in undead parish.
>>
I saw one while waiting for summons in the undead parish. I had no idea what it was.
>>
ive never seen one. got into the game maybe two months ago, only played 12 hours thus far. also haven't seen any summon signs or ghosts or bloodstains or anything everyone is always talking about and feel like im missing an experience, do i need to open ports or something?
>>
>>340697310
Have seen at least 2 of each variety, pretty cool feature. The first one I ever saw was in the Parish on my first run and it kicked my ass with projectiles.

Anyone remember the 2 armor sets that people obtained from the game's files and brought them over to the 360?

You go to Steam > Settings > Downloads, there's a dropdown menu there for it.

It won't have any effect on the matchmaking aside from making it actually work consistently, you'll still get prioritized to play with people who have a good connection to you. There are enough Americans/Europeans playing on that region that it's not a problem.

It's weird, but I guess somehow the GFWL -> Steamworks port was fucked (shocking, I know) and this is what you have to do to get the game working. I have no idea why it works, but it does.
>>
>>340697310
Saw 1 in Undead Burg right before Andre's Bonfire.

I was extremely confused on what it was and even more when as soon as i came close to it, it farted a million homing spheres which almost 1 shot me but i managed to stand my ground and kill it and it dropped like 5k souls and a Twin Humanities.

Weird as shit mechanic,

But of course that will happen given how similar the games are, why care about another person's head canon?

Now to be a hypocrite and talk about something nobody should care about, if you remove the word "literally" from your post and re-read it, doesn't it have more impact?
>>
man, it's crazy that dark souls is so half assed in so many ways and it's STILL a great game

imagine if all the areas were completed. imagine if the online was implemented in a way that made the shit covenants and things like these vagrants more than half-baked ideas.
>>
>>340710935
There was a planned idea story where Oscar makes it out of the asylum with you and you two embark on the journey together.

But only one can be the real chosen one and you two make it all the way to the end either you kight the fire or become the dark lord yourself, either way after fighting gwyndalin or what's his name god Oscar will come into the arena and will see through that only one can kindle the fire/become the dark lord and he fights you out of his own jealousy of becoming the chosen himself which makes it the true final battle between you and Oscar.

Sadly deadlines is what caused that side story to be scrapped.

I had just gotten invaded right outside the undead chapel and the invader was acting weird, gesturing wildly. So I followed him inside the chapel where one of those things was. The guy seemed really excited about it.

As someone who really isn't big into online multiplayer gaming overall, I still can't believe people could put so many hours into a Souls game without experiencing the online components or aspects. It's still got the legit body of a game but basically missing a limb or two.

Yeah, they'll only spawn in your world either when a player dies with a bunch of humanity and then dies again before they retrieve it, or when a player drops an item and leaves it there, and then the subsequent item that is spawned in other player's worlds isn't picked up.

There's a bit of content from it in the game files too. I always felt it was apparent, there was supposed to be something more there for sure.

We'll never know how it would've felt overall, in execution and how it would've affected the atmosphere. I dig the idea, but it could have removed some of the extra-lonely feeling and occasional aimlessness. That became a big part of the tone.

Something like that depends on the execution, in general DaS did pretty well in that regard so it probably would have been pretty good. Shame.

I'd be down for that, IF MY FUCKING NODES EVER CONNECTED.

That DaS Connectivity fix, you're connecting to people by consent, right? That completely ruins the point of invasions for me, I don't want to invade someone who's installed a mod specifically so they can find out how inept I am at PvP.

semi-new to Dark Souls guy here, is it possible to do a fun Faith run in D1?

Like twice over the course of 500+ hours. Both of them in the undead church.

Use wulfs DSCM and put max nodes up to 32. That mod makes connecting to nodes SANIC FAST

Everything is possible, the question is how much fun you'll find it.

Are you doing any restrictions on yourself, or is it just a full on faith build you're planning? Personal tip: The Crescent Axe is easily overlooked, and not too bad with a faith build.

Just after the darkest place in the entire fucking game, you'll meet an NPC called Leeroy, you'll need to refuse his demands and you should find it at the location's bossfight after reloading.

>>340722014
It's a build that got popular early on for easy mode invasions, it's carefully min-maxed to get the maximum poise for minimal investment, while wielding a nicely braindead weapon.

It's a meme and as such can be safely ignored.

>>340697310

Fun fact about these: the physical manual that came with my 360 copy actually mentions these things. I would take a picture but I'm tired and already in bed.

>>340701713
One just hasn't appeared for you. I played the 360 version for 300 hours and saw them twice, one in the forest, one next to the Gwynivere statue by the rafters you walk across. I saw it and it immediately jumped off a cliff and died.

PVP meme, basically a special build with meme weapon such as zweihander and a meme mask.

I've played for over 1000 hours and have never seen one

How's a Zwei braindead? Takes a lot more brains to actually kill people with it than most weapons.
It is braindead in pve though.

It used to be much more than a meme though and was a legit OP build that all the scrubs used. Then A-Team nerfed it into the ground along with havelmom.

Vanilla DaS PvP was some of the dumbest shit I've ever experienced.

Because all its moves are slow and prdictable, the r2 is basically like putting a sign on your back saying "please stab here", so the only really viable way of using it is mashin r1 and hoping your opponent doesn't know how to parry
>>
>>340697310

I killed 2 just yesterday on a save that I have 115 hours on, but I've got about 200 hours in total on dark souls and I'd say I've seen maybe 4-5.

My girlfriend started dark souls the other day and saw one within 4 hours.

>>340702425

I've put hundreds of hours into DaS and have never seen a single one, so don't go expecting to bump into one any time soon.

You forget about dead angling?

Though it shouldn't be necessary, to parry is to be scum.

I encountered 2. One in the Undead Parish, one in Blighttown. This was 2 out a fuckton of hours of play on PS3.

Did they make it into DS2 or 3? Is there an equivalent in Bloodborne? I've played a lot more Dank 1 than I have any of the followup games, and I only saw 2 there. First time I saw it, I had no goddamned fucking idea what it was and it scared the hell out of me. Not as bad as my first encounter with Gravelord Servant bullshit, though.

>>
>>340702425
Don't sweat it, they just appear when someone loses a big fucking fucking pile of souls or drops an item and leaves it.

It's entirely dependent on online play. I've seen two in the entire time I played the game.
>>
>>340727234
I hope DaS3 will turn out to have lots of stuff like that, because I tried going back to DaS the other day and holy fuck the UI is massive and everything feels clunky now.

As it is, it seems like my favourite game of the series won't be the most playable one, particularly when it's dead dead in a few years time.
>>
>>340697310
Saw one
Or two I think. It was the evil one.Never the good one.
>>
>>340726645
My #1 way of cheesing my way out of invasions was to come at invaders non locked on and do the sprinting 2-hand attack with the Claymore.

For some reason it always worked for me. I started fighting everyone that way, just Beyblading around and getting dead-angle hits, never stopping to "engage" them in an actual, locked on fight. That along with the composite bow and Pyromancy really put an end to my invader anxiety.

I've got about 300 hours. I've seen something like 3 or 4. First one I saw was on the run to Manus right below the caster before the bridge. Shocked me so much I died to the caster.

did you ever try any of the curved greatswords for that kind of style?

They're basically designed for deadangling, but the Gravelord sword in particular you needed to fight in an unorthodox manner to succeed, and it was amazing when you did so that was my go-to for PvP early on.

I've only seen one and it was on my first playthrough. Coincidentally, I got the Channler's Trident from the very first Channler on that playthrough too. Needless to say I was pretty surprised to learn both of these things are really rare.


There was never anything like this in 2 or 3 was there?

One on my final run before Dark Souls 2 was about to be released.
It was in Anal Rodeo on a ledge near the whole tightrope walking section was. I can probably make a good guess at how he died.
Considering how many hours I put into the game, I'm glad I finally managed to spot one.
>>
About 5 in 2k hours.

Most of them in others worlds. I tried to get their attention and bring them over but they would just speed run to the boss fog.

I'm sure I remember seeing one once in Anor Londo on the PS Triple but not once on the PC.

I'm new to the game, and I would appreciate some advice, thanks.

I'm playing a knight, and I'm wearing the starting knight armor, since I haven't found a better one yet. I wield a spear and a target shield, and I have spent all my points into endurance, so far, since I wanted to get a fast roll (I still have the second fastest one, though)

How shitty is my build? What should I change? Should/can I get some ranged power, like fireballs, somehow?

I'm at the gargoyles/Aries demon, atm, btw
>>
>>340697310
I've seen about 4 of them in 350 hours.
First was on my second playthrough at the area before Gwyn.
The other 3 I've seen them through mine and a friend's world the last time we did a playthrough toguether, it was when valve fixed the online.
>>
>>340731881
Rule 1: do not put points into Resistance
Rule 2: the only relevant statistic on armor is poise, higher is better

That's it, enjoy
>>
>>340697310
twice

once in anor londo and once in the empty room in sens where you summon iron tarkus for the giant

Fuck that, how many of you have seen these?

>A Drift Item Bag is the result of players dropping and abandoning certain items. Once abandoned, a Drift Item Bag will appear for another player in the exact same location. If the drift item bag isn't found and picked up by its recipient, it is sent out again to another world.

I did once and freaked me the fuck out, as I had no invaders or phantoms to drop shit.
>>
I fought two. One was in that part before Undead Burg where you drop down and it was a smaller one. Then the second one was like a year later and it was almost the same size as my character and dealt a ton of damage. I can't remember what they dropped though but I don't remember it being any good.
>>
>>340731881
Don't listen to >>340731931
While armour might not seem to make a difference, if you have something like the Havels set you can tank certain bosses.
You've got to upgrade it before you see any big effects though.
Also Resistance might not seem useful but I recommend pumping it to 20 or 30 early on.
It'll help in an area which is entirely poison and against enemies which fire toxic. Ever hear the tons of people complaining toxic is too strong? That's because they're retards who fell for the don't up resistance meme.
