Butcher's Knife or Great Machete
I literally cant decide
I can't believe andre doesn't even reference the chosen undead. With all the fan wank in this game we could've at least gotten a

Neat. Seems kinda OP and feels cheaty though.
Whos dick do I need to suck to get a blue sentinel invasion?
Perseverance weapon art, what the hell's it good for?
>334230871
Butcher's is lightning quick for a strength weapon
Don't mind me, just posting best girl
>>334230871
Currently using Great Machete atm. It's been doing OK.
I require a picture of Andre, smashing estus flasks with his hammer.
First for get fucked red fags

>>334230948
>tfw he remembers the giant blacksmith but not you
Do I need to do Sirris' quest line to join the Edgemoons?
Im about to go into Farron Keep and just noticed I haven't upgraded my Estus Flask with bone ash yet. What + should my Estus be at this point?
Is there a rusted iron ring equivilent in this game? I just got to the poison swamp, took one look, groaned, and already don't want to do this stupid shit. This area was bad enough the first two times. Why do we have to do it -again-?
Which one of you fuckers named your character RIP ZYZZ
Reposting from old thread because I am a faggot and genuinely want to know.
So as someone pretty terrible at Souls games, how am I doing so far (in the order I fought them)?
>Iudex Gundyr: 1
>Vordt: 3
>Greatwood: 2
>Abyss Watchers: 6
>Crystal Sage: 2
>Deacons: 1
>Wolnir: 2
>Demon King: 7
>Pontiff: 8
>Yhorm: 2
>Aldrich: 3
>22 hours in
>barely get to the dancer
I thought you guys said this game was short?
>yfw you realise the giant worm that shoots lightning is solaire after the maggot grows
Also I don't like how shit is just lying around in this game, like how you find items of major importance in ds1 just on some dirt or something for no real reason

"I just want a fair fight, gank squads are everywhere!"
t. red guy as he attacks a host who is fighting 3 enemies
>>334230642
So can someone tell me the difference between the Darkmoons and the Blue sentinels?
>>334231051
You aren't required to traverse any of the deeper areas that slow you down to progress, just stick to the shallows
>>334230642
Just beat Abyss Watchers. That wasfun
>>334231083
Yes that's good, most people will have different bosses they struggle on due to their builds though. I died 12 times to aldrich but twice to pontiff
Seriously, though. I'm hitting a wall and fog comes off of it as I hit it like I said here >>334230624. The wall on the opposite side doesn't do that. Is it an illusionary wall? Is there a way to open it?
The Abyss Walkers was fucking excellent! After I beat that fight, I finally realized that I'm going to love this game just as much as the other Souls games.
Just got to the swampy part of Road of Sacrifices. I've got a bad feeling about this
>>334231125
I've been putting my co-op sign down in the Aldrich covenant room (because the dual crocdog fight is total bullshit) and 40% of the time there's an invader in there. Fuck off, guys.
Is upgrading my Rapier to Crystal Sage's Rapier worth it if I'm doing a dex/int build? Or should I spend it on the spell instead.
>>334231083
>Wolnir 2
Nigger how? I can understand if you accidentally walk into his fog the first time but second try should be cakewalk.
>>334230949
Only found like 2 of those so far and one of them is like 3 feet from a bonfire.
>>334231207
No, if it's an illusion it will just disappear
What's the deal with Y'morh the Giant?
It would take me hours to beat him by just smacking his feet.
I want to fuck aldrich in his sluglike boipussy
>>334231083
You're doing well, anon
I died6times to the Crystal sages
>>334230998
>not invading in the village and forcing the fight into the area with giant arrows raining down
Its like you guys don't even want to win
Can the door on the right of anor londo be opened this time?
Fuck, just killed Pontiff so easy, weird as shit.
>12 tries or so without even getting him to secound phase
>Sudenly I "got" him, beat him using only 4 estus with no trouble at all.
This is why I play with no summon, I fell like god now.
How do I cash in my sentinel ears?
>>334231278
Two means I beat him on my second try. Only died once.
I fucking love the character designs in these games. What's the best boss, visually?
Just beat the stray demon. Don't know if fire element does this but when it was about to die it went full Laurence on me
Also where is the pyromancer? I obviously skipped it because I found the pyromancy tome in the swamp with no one to give it to
>>334231284
Then why is is giving off fog when I hit it?
>>334231074
I dont know how this guy got past the filters, considering "knight" is a banned word
>>334231264
are you "dontmindme" by any chance
Does anyone know what the hollowing stat does besides give you dark spot points?
Is it like insight? Do we want it low or high?
>>334231278
I take it that the numbers isn't how many times he died but how many tries until he killed it.
What quality weapon are you using?
Still can't really decide which one's my favourite
>>334231172
BUT I SEE THINGS IN THE DISTANCE BEYOND THE FROGS
Where do you get Artorias' armor?
>>334231363
Use the sword you find in his area and charge it for 10 seconds
>pve is a mess, every enemy has infinite stamina and never stops attacking, majority of them have infinite poise too.
>invading results in being ganked
>netcode is even worse than the other two games.
I wanted to love this game.
it ended up being a huge letdown
>>334231278
When can I infuse this thing with a heavy gem?
>>334231426
Probably just a random effect, maybe a bug? Illusions will just make a noise and instantly go away
>>334231083
If you're not using summons you're great, otherwise shit.
I'm a veteran with 300h in DaS and died more to AW and Pontiff than you. Good Job.
>>334231368
once you realize that just kicking the fuck out of his friends actually makes it easier he is a cake walk.
>>334231425
Undead Settlement. He's hanging in a cage in the area above the sewer.
>>334231048
maybe +2
>>334231363
The deal is grab the item by his throne and use its Art to kill him in like four hits. It's a gimmick fight, pretty much a total copy of Storm King.
>>334231458
claymore, I know, boring
I need something faster to put Refined on for faster enemies
Is the online worth paying for the game or do I just pirate it?
>>334231371
Jokes on you I made peace with the giant of arrows.
>just beat the twins
>only 20 hours in
>dont want game to end
Is it just me or is DS3 a lot shorter than previous games?
What was the point of the two bridges/gates that you activated from the ground floor in the cathedral? I spent a literal hour trying to figure out what to use them for before i gave up and found the real way was just to roll behind the giant.
>>334231207

I killed the Fucking stray demon and he never dropped his soul.
What bullshit is this?
>>334231458
Astora Greatsword right now
Makes me feel like a big man
Watchers are actually giving me some shit.
I assumed Fire infused weapons would not work against him, but apparently he's actually weak against Lightning. Next time I'll use my Fire Mace.
>>334231602
I'd say so, it makes it a lot less lonely
>>334231435
where do you go to uncensore names?
>>334231458
Uchi. That sheath stance is too fucking sexy, call me a fedora all you want.
>>334231423
First one. The armor looks rad and the possession thing looks cool as fuck too.
>>334231458
Using the Farron's greatsword and Abyss watcher set. Feel's good playing as a Yarhnamite Artorias cosplayer.
>>334231632
The enemy with red eyes at the end of the field is a good enough distraction 80% of the time regardless.
wew. this Aldrich fight is going ham
>fire phase
>maximum arrow spam
>soul arrow spam
The saga continues, time for another try.
>>334231684
Not the stray demon. Stray demon's a fatty like in the undead asylum from first game.
>>334231684
It's a different stray demon. You'll know when you see it. It isn't the fire one you first encounter
is every single door locked or what? also what the fuckis with fog walls, sometimes it just wont let me through unless i come at the right angle
Not really sure where to go, think I skipped an area or chunk of the game.
Made it to the irithyll of boreal valley, but there is a barrier, says I need a doll. Someone told me I had to go to a cathedral or something, I just went exploring. Turns out I completely skipped half the shit after the catacombs. Had to take the bridge down as a ladder (Didn't know that) now I've completed the demon ruins and the boss there.
>>334231715
I didn't do anything actually, a lot of names are censored but not the one with "Fuck" in it. Bravo From.
>>334230521
>fought abyss watcher, then crystal sage, then deacons
Dude, what?
How the fuck did you even manage to fight those two knights in the swamp area and get into Farron keep?
>get summoned for dicktree
>host runs through the fog wall
>no "critical battle" popup
>sunbro and I can't get through
>just rest outside the boss room
>boss health bar shows up, but doesn't decrease at all
>host dies
Has this happened to anyone else? My theory is that phantoms can't help until you've activated phase 2 on your own.
Irithyll is a garbage area
>das1
-Fast+longish combos from enemies

-blocking is shit
hmmmmmm
Anyone try the Exile Greatsword yet?
That's a huge as fuck Str requirement for a Dex weapon. It's heavy too
Is it safe to say I should stop putting my sign down when people won't stop dying? I just want my last few medals. If anybody from here needs some help with Aldrich just reply with a password to set
>>334231792
Cathedral is after the sage boss, not catacombs.
>>334231787
Most doors aren't locked but whenever you see 'does not open from this side' it means you'll find a shortcut that takes you back there. Truly locked doors require a key (Only keys I've seen thus far you buy from the merchant back at the Shrine) but I have not seen many of those.
>>334230983
do you only get her armor and weapon if you kill her?
Also I made a video about how to kill that giant penis worm in smouldering lake if anyone else is frustrated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rv9nBJBV_U
Beat the first boss, and now it's crashing every 10 minutes. Pretty much unplayable. Kinda pissed.
Should have just got the PS4 version.
After the Deacons where do I go?
>>334231458
Alternating between BKGA, Exiled Greatsword and Vordt's mace
>>334230997
absolutely disgusting
>>334231787
If it read's "Does not open from this side"
That mean's it a shortcut to a later area so you have to take a different path ti open it from the back.
>>334231893
The host needs to get close to the tree
>>334231883
Those two knights are EZPZ to kill, though
>>334231501
>I keep dying
>this must be a bad game
>first time fighting boss is trying to kill it and simultaneously learning all its moves in case I die
>second time is it using its strongest attacks the instant I enter the boss room and killing me before I can do anything
>third try it dies with negative effort
Every time.
Has anyone elsegiven the firekeeper the eyes?
Does this ultimately determine the ending or can I still change it?
>>334231936

>>334231481
>>334231581
Is it me or are there a lot of gimmick fights in DaS3?
>>334231660
im not though. At most I died to sulyvahn 10 times but the rest have been in one go aside from abyss watchers (5), aldritch (3) and now dancer (1)
The most extended exploring I did was hopping around the swamp and the wall with the stray demon but aside from that ive mostly kept on the path
>>334231978
Turn lighting to low and shadows off
Still can't get this game to work consistently. Sometimes its just minor frame rate drops and other times it just crashes without reason. Tried just about every temporary fix people have used, including rolling back drivers to 314 but nothing works.
Fuck you From. Fuck you
>>334231893
I have had this happen to me but it is the exception not the rule. I've definitely had people try a boss for the first time (little cutscene plays and phantoms can't enter immediately) and still been able to assist.
>>334231423
A secret one that rides a stormdrake and fights you in a storm. It's real.
Good idea?
>>334232070
Is the tree considered a gimmick?
Posted this in a wrong thread so here I goooo...
I have a graphic card Geforce GTX 570 laying around but I'd need a better PSU to be able to use it. Other than that and a better fan for my CPU, what would I need to run DaS 3 correctly? I can't go into high-end stuff and keep in mind this is a 3 yo prebuilt shit computer that I took with me because I needed something asap, back then, just to keep working on my art-related stuff.
>>334232007
No, I think it messed up. The "Critical Battle" starts as soon as the host enters the room for Greatwood. Something similar happened to me where I was forced to stand outside of the boss room while the host took on Crystal Sage alone.
>>334231458
Farron anime sword.
Those it's really more of a dex weapon
>>334230642
A friend of mine told me that there's only a couple viable dex weapons for PVE, is that accurate?
How is the whip?
Was told it was awful.
I have never played DaS before. Was interested in doing a Dex build. some guides on where to put points and such would help.
>>334232016
>one does constant slashes with a giant AOE sword, one hit of which will take half of your healthbar, while the other one kind of creeps in and fucks you in the ass
>easy
?????????????????????????
>>334232070
I've fought two so far being high lord whatshisface and the giant. Any others?
Seriously though.
What the fuck is the difference between the Blades of the Dark Moon and the Blue Sentinels.
They require the Same items to deepen their covenant and they basically do the same job.
Do they at least get different Items?
>>334231951
shit man, I didn't even know there was a door after that sage boss, she was actually one I skipped for a while and went back for
thanks

Am I the only one who thinks Lothric prince boss was pretty fucking spooky? Not only were they gangly and crippled on their knees but he spoke in that unsettling tone...and the way he clung onto his brothers back...
>>334231458
Zweihander.
>>334232135
Only if the Claymore becomes B/B at +10 refined, otherwise trash weapon
>>334232147
The lower end of the scale , but yeah probably.
>>334232191
I've been doing a dex build and am more than halfway through the game just using a refined long sword
I'm going two handed for my first playthrough, currently using the claymore. I think i'd like my next playthrough to be the great scythe
>>334231458
Dark sword +10.
Feels good man.
is the ice straight sword from the miniboss right before the road of sacrifices any good? i kinda want to switch to it from my claymore+3 at 16 str and 17 dex
So, how do I find this Cathedral of the Deep? I'm looking all over in Road of Sacrifices, but don't see any alternative paths.

>>334232182
What's even the difference between Dex and Str in this game?
They both seem to be the same thing. They both add damage to your weapons, and so far, the stat requirements for weapons have been low, the same, and none have benefited more from one stat or the other in terms of additional damage
>>334231473
Intended graves
Just ended up in Irithyll Dungeon, pretty spooky.
Explain the Blue Covenant to me. Do I have to be human (kindled w/e) to get summoned with it? Can I only be summoned when another person is invaded? How does it work?

Don't know what to tell you. One of them Telegraphs his attack all over the place. and the other can be stun locked with normal sword swipes.

>>334232386
Keep going to the left from the bonfire where you met Anri "I'm wearing DS1s iconic armor" of Astora and Grunty Horace until you find the church with the two beasts with the wooden gravestones on their backs.

Souls games Load you where you are standing when you exit the game. They have done this since Demon's
Whats the appropriate level you should be at for each boss or at least each lord of cinder
>>334232158
buy an evga 500b psu. its not modular but its damn reliable. your cpu is locked both by AMD and by that shitty mobo so upgrading the GPU is all you can do. If you've got the cash you can pick up an SSD as well but chances are your memory is slow so it would only do so much to improve faster loads.
So invading as a Warrior of Sunlight means jolly co-op with red phantoms?
>>334232386
Go to the bonfire with the two knights (right before you head down the slopes and fight the guys with the makeshift lances). Continue westward down the path (or around it to get the jump on the enemies) until you find another bonfire. That bonfire is right next to a big stone building. The path to the Crystal Sage (and the Cathedral after that) is through that building.
fwiw, I believe at the point you reach the Cathedral, it's call the Cruxificion Woods.
>>334232603
but my entire computer crashed, not just the game. i'm pretty sure it didn't have time to save.
>>334232191
Your friend has shit opinions or is lying to you.
Dex has a bunch of options, and I'd say most of them are viable. If you want to go straight dex you will be fine.
Is you friend the kind of person who prefers oversized weapons by any chance?
>>334232434
Embered just means people can come to your world.
You don't need to be embered to go to other worlds, whether as an invader, sunbro or spirit of vengeance
>>334231937
It's shit.
Jesus Christ, fuck these things. They're the easiest enemies in the area, but looking at them is disgusting.
Has anyone else tried using Caestus/Demon fist or any other fist weapon in this game? I'm trying to do a fists-only run for the first time, but it's absolutely ridiculous.
90% of enemies either attack or backdash out of stunlock after the first 1-2 combo, it's fucking absurd. Same goes for in PvP. I'm lucky if i even land one punch on someone before they insta roll away. I could deal with how low damage they do if I could just stunlock people for more than one press of LB.
I'm at Boreal Valley now, and it's a fucking nightmare. Those "Boreal Dancers" - the white cunts with the swords - just never leave themselves open, and if they do, i'm too far away to take advantage. Even if I do land a hit on them, they don't even get staggered and just restart their combo. I've never thought about "re-rolling" a character mid game, nor have I ever had the need to. But fist weapons on this game are absolute hell to use. I really have no idea why they were even added - there is absolutely 0 advantage, PvE OR PvP, to using them - you're always just straight up handicapped
TL;DR Fist weapons are absolute shite and there is currently no reason to use them other than if you're a masochist.
>>334232232
I'm hoping Darkmoon Blades get a Blue Eye Orb but I don't know yet.

He's been using a curved greatsword.
I don't know shit from fuck about souls though.
Can you tell me about the whip?
Any tips for Aldrich Phase 2 arrows?
>>334231458
Astora Greatsword
It's prettygreat
Greatsword where? Closest thing to DS2 greatsword with the vertical chops is what I'm looking for, I already know about the fume but it seems far off from where I am in the forest
>>334231632

>>334232747
That's what I figured. Man I've been rocking the blue covenant item since I first found it and haven't been summoned once.
>>334232797
>Fist weapons are absolute shite and there is currently no reason to use them other than if you're a masochist.
So nothing new?
Are int or faith actually worth a shit in this or should I just skip both for my second build
Yhorm or Wolnir tied for worst bosses in the game or does one eke out into the lead of being undisputed rancid shit?
On the other side what do you think is the best boss? I'm leaning towards either Abyss Watchers or Pontiff. At Dancer currently and it feels like a chore since it has the token incredibly short telegraph instant death grab and getting hit even once in phase 2 is guaranteed death. If I'd known leveling was going to be this slow I would have gone sharp instead of refined so I could put more points into vit.
>>334232779
Is that thing suppose to be a woman?
Can I fuck it?
>>334232030
It makes the ending available post final boss room there a summon sign by first flame.
>>334232708
You'll be fine. It's constantly autosaving
what happens if a dickwraith grabs you?
>>334232820
There is no blue orb and they both have different rewards for getting to 30 successful pvps
It's retarded shit but do it now before population is too low
>>334232797
darn, was going to do another caestus build after how much fun it was in dark souls 2
How do I turn boss souls into weapons? Are they good or better as Exp?
No thank you.
>>334232881
It's in the big nasty poisonous swamp on the edge of a broken bridge. You should be coming up on it pretty soon.
>>334232840
Roll for your life. Alternatively, if you're standing in the corner right next to him, all the arrows have a habit of getting stuck in the wall. Don't rely on that, though.
>>334232891
Blueberries have always been a shit pvp covenant since barely anyone wears the Way of Blue shit. I heard Farron Watchdogs were having problems getting summoned too, though not the Aldrich Faithful
>>334232797
They are shit. I was using caestus earlier and they're really slow.
>>334232954
They kill you and also steal the exact coordinates to your shrine and will end up pillaging it by the end when you link the fire.
>>334232797
Could have told you that before the game even came out. Fist weapons have no range and will thus always be gimped. But no everyone want to be like their jojos
>>334231775
You really just want to run the fuck away when he fires off arrow storms in the second phase.
>>334232909
Cestus build in DS2 was fucking fun as hell
>>334232947
oh, awesome. i'm excited to get started tomorrow now
Rolling and parries seem really forgiving in this entry.
Even heavy rolls are pretty lax.
I beat Iudex on my first try without taking any damage.
I also parried the shit out of that uchi master in Firelink and I've never been good at parries.
Finally got this shit working after trying to get through all of the crashing bullshit.
I was getting that white screen crash crap.
>>334232925
Ancient wyvern is by far the worst
>>334232835
I've been using the witches locks whip so it may be a bit different, but I've been doing fine with it.
I'm sure I've seen a video or two where a guy is pvping with the notched whip and doing fine.
If it's what you want to use, go for it. I saw a guy who was running broken sword earlier and he was one of the better phantoms I've seen.

I'm getting frequent invasions as a Blue Sentinel. I doubt they'll be a lot of Way of Blue members in the future but its nice to see this shit works. I never even heard of Sentinel invasions in DS2.
I've been leveling VIT, VIG, END, and STR equally. Is this gonna get me boned? I'm at 19 each about and in the mid 30s.

Really? I just got summoned 15 times in a row as a watchdog and its late.
Anyone else feel a bit let down? I just beat Abyss Watchers and it's not capturing me like I, BB, or even II. I think I like II more than this.
>>334233167
By the help of people like you.
>>334233215
Nah
>>334233162
She'll also cover her mouth and laugh if you do dumb emotes.
Also, I forgot which emotes do it but she can also look away in embarrassment
>>334233173
you got too close to him / the purple shit. try and back up further
>>334231972
oh huh, didn't know you could kill it
time to reactivate that gun I guess
Is Nameless King hard to find or will I bumble into him if I'm at least decent at exploration?
Knowing what I do of him, it sounds incredible.
How the fuck does poise work in this game? even with some of the higher poise medium armour everything from shitty hollows to dogs stagger me with every hit
help
So I miss siegward at the well, I just passed through him straight to bonfire and went somewhere else. Later when I got back there he wasn't there anymore. I went up to Firelink and also didn't found him, I even encountered Patches but he wasn't selling his armor. How can I get Siegward to go show up again, anybody knows?
>>334233167
Obvious Normies friend. This is the same shit with Dark souls 2. So many faggots that claim they play DS to be "Hardcore" but can't even beat the first fucking boss.
>>334233167
>Damn man, you wonder how these guys even got here.
Obviously by being escorted through the game by three phantoms at a time.
Boreal valley. I make it past the first three undead then there is a guy with a burning cross throwing fire and shit at me. Everything in this game was relatively easy up until now. Did anyone else experience a huge increase in difficulty?
>>334230983
looks like she's wearing the cainhurst armour from bloodborne
>>334233215
You're fine. Probably want to shove a few points into dex just to expand potential weapon offerings.
>>334233130
I'm talking solely for pvp because I'm a very bad boy and poor so I won't be doing any pvp at all.
Hint hint.
>decide to go invade and help people
>everyone is using dex weapons
First time I've seen this. Now I feel special for using str weapons.
>>334233296
No, it wasn't his deathgas.
It LITERALLY insta-killed me.
I had to kill Leonhard before he gave me the key, will I have to wait until NG+ for the red eye orb?
MASSIVE swamp bloodbaths are the most fun I've had lately. Giant crabs running along trying to pinch the shit out of the five guys running around trying to murder each other. Pure chaos.
>>334233016
I get invaded back to back by Farron dogs.
I thought there was an invasion cooldown
any tips for having aldrich not shove his purple shit straight up my butt
>>334232797
I use fire caestus gloves on my off-hand with a pole weapon in my main. The gloves are for parrying and the odd slap between pokes.
>>334233345
>solely for pve
sorry.
This bitch 'gon die
Who here /cantparry/? I was alright at it in DS1, but now it feels like the timing is completely different. I just gave up and switched to the eagle shield for quick stance.
>>334233013
Thanks, but thankfully RNJesus was on my side and she/he only used sword swipes.
Fuck yeah, what a fight.
>>334233437
>t. total pleb
>abyss watcher
I can't beat this boss
once he goes super saiyan, I can't beat him
>>334230642
FUCK YOU TREE
SO CLOSE, I'LL BURN YOU AND YOUR SCRAWNY HANDS YOU GONORRHEA-LADEN DAISY
>>334233294
Is there a proposal emote...she's so freaking Cute. I'd kill gods and demons just for her.
What do the Caestus Scale with? And at what grade?
>>334231893
it's supposed to let you in after they activate the tree. He prolly died just as he activated it.
>>334231792
How do you make the bridge collapse?
>>334233513
He's not hard at all nigga. I summoned for him but my summon died in phase 1 and I still beat him. Git Gud.
Damn the broadsword for being so great. It's almost as good as my claymore and zweihander without the long animations/stamina usage. I can even bring a shield and keep the fastest roll.
>enter swamp area with the giant crabs
>fight crabs and explore for a bit, low on estus so I turn back
>get invaded by what I think is an NPC with a xanthous crown, have like 30% hp and he's dodging like a motherfucker so I die
>go ember again for the salty runback
>get invaded by a similar looking NPC with a different name (yellowfinger something?)
>ok goo-invaded by dark spirit
>run back to the top of the hill to get the lay of the land
>see a blue guy running around down there
>he starts fighting the NPC (?)
>both are around half HP, I join in

>everybody gets raped in the cluster fuck but I kill the red guy and get a xanthous crown
what even happened though

In DS2, dare i mention it, caetus was fucking great. The moveset was kinda lackluster, but it was still enjoyable. PvP was good, too, because stunlock lasted long enough for me to get at very least 3 LB's on someone before they could roll out. PvE was fine too, mainly because mobs for the most part elegraphed their attacks to all fuck so i can easily roll in, throw some punches, and roll out.
If you roll into attack in DS3, you get attacked as soon as you come out the roll.
If you roll away from attacks in DS3, you're too far away to counter strike.
For certain enemies i have to wait till they use their most powerful move with the most lag so i can get one rolling attack in, and then start dodging again.
>>334233406
Attack his tentacle butt
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE
Don't get greedy
Run away from the second phase Arrow Storms
>>334233521
Try running away from it, it'll force it to constantly fall over and you pretty much have the easy way to breezy bay for a win.
Just beat Curse-Rotted Greatwood.
I g-guess its on to Road of Sacrifices next?
I only walked around there once and got absolutely murdered by the one bird guy.
I still haven't upgraded anything, shit.
>be from PR
>GameStop closed their stores here
>have to go to Walmart
>game is sold out
>fuck it get it digitally
>get to the shrine
>game hasn't fully installed can't travel
Fucking GameStop why did they have to go?
Pontiff is cucking my shit up in phase 2
>>334233437
>Killing Yoel's only other friend
You monster
What would he think?
>>334233345
Whip is fine for pvp, have a dagger or something if you ever go for a parry though.
>>334233352
Almost everyone I invade seems to be using a longsword, claymore, or the curved great sword.
>>334233406
unlock camera, be ready to avoid arrows.
>>334233434
Any weapon is fine for pve
>>334233569
>I summoned for him
>Git Gud
>>334233513
Go and do Cathedral of the Deep if you're stuck and level up a bit
if you've already done it then git gud
>>334233537
Nah, it went on for a while.
>guy invades me
>jumps off the ledge without even trying to fight me
>i get 2.3 million souls
WHAT
>28 STR
>Butcher Knife +6
>equal damage to Irithyll Straight Sword + 3
don't tell me heavy weapons are ass again
>die to vordt a few times
>decide to summon some helpers
>they die too, can't beat him
Wow, this game is total dogshit.
Worse than Dark Souls 2.
>>334233437
But she sells the ring that takes away the annoying glow when you're summoned.
How do I go full Revan aka fallen knight set? What sword would be good with this build.
>>334232881
Faggot Keep out
>>334231458
Greataxe with Str gem. Feels quicker than I expected.
I think I've discovered a really good infusion use. Take the Lothric Knight Greatsword for instance. It does physical and lightning damage, has D/D str/dex scaling, and the lightning damage doesn't scale.
If you infuse it with Chaos, because Chaos forces int/faith scaling, you get ridiculous returns. The base physical damage only goes down by 31, the lightning damage stays the same but begins to scale, and you get 100 fire damage that wasn't there before that also scales.
Currently I don't have enough dex to wield it properly so I can't see how much of a hit physical scaling takes, but for a net gain 69 base damage, scaling on the lightning damage that wasn't there before, and scaling fire damage, it seems like a really bad idea to infuse anything else on it.
