I've been invading all day, and I'm only halfway towards getting the ring. Five measly tongues.

If there's just the host, sure, I'll be a little fair. And I can most often handle two. I cannot handle three, four or five people hammering R1 inside my ass for days.

Just give me five measly tongues, and I swear I will never ever invade as a red phantom again, since it's pretty obvious the game doesn't want you to.

Breh. just farm them off the darkwraths outside abyss watchers.

Thats getting you swordgrass as well cause you need 30 of that shit.
>>
>>335809460
What ring? I never invade but maybe I should start
>>
1. Invade in Irithyll just after the Pontiff Sulyvahn bonfire
2. Keep doing so until you enter a world in which the host is with a couple of phantoms and they're clearly just farming kills against invaders
3. Run away and hide
4. Put the controller down and wait for forked tongues to appear while you do something else

That's what I did. Other people kept invading and every now and then a phantom would kill a Darkmoon boy which automatically gave me a forked tongue. I got 3 in about 30 minutes.
>>
>>335809460
I got 10 with about an hour of PVP by just laying my invasion sign. A lot of that time was me accepting invasion signs as well, so it was more like 20-30 minutes.
>>
Stop being trash. Be patient. Use the environment (lifts, enemies, shortcuts) to your advantage. Use white / dark ring and blend in when there's confusion. Isolate the host on a lift by switch baiting or rolling on top of it (easiest in the archives).

It's not difficult.

Where are you invading?
You need to pick spots that give you an overwhelming advantage on ambush if you want to get tongues quickly, ie catacombs bridge, all of the prison segments with jailers, and the poison swamp.

Shitty spots like undead settlement and upper lothric castle often guarantee a 4v1 against you rapidly.

I got sick of it too. But tons of people PvP outside of the Pontiff's bonfire and I'd say a majority of the times I was summoned I'd just face the host. They're ready for you, naturally, but if you're decent you can deal with them most of the time. Or just throw a mimic's head on your own with the gold serpent ring and get farming. You can also farm swordgrass there.

Invading is fun maybe 1 or 2 times out of 10. Gank squads definitely make it less fun. What's even more frustrating though is every time I get invaded I'm alone, but every 4/5 times I invade someone they've got a train ready to be run on my ass.

I found out about this shit earlier today. Christ, I was planning on doing all of the achievements but having to go through a majority of the game to NG++ with bosses who can often times kill you in a single combo is a bit much.

It's really shitty. I know achievements/trophies don't matter at all, but expecting players to do that much just to get the stupid thing is insane. You have to do the covenant shit anyway but then go to NG++.

Gank squads are not nearly as difficult as they are made out to be 90% of the time. They are typically made up of overconfident players with low to midrange skill.

The problem I'm having, personally, is that either one of the phantoms or the host himself know every area inside-out, not that they'll move an inch anyway. Either that, or they just rush the boss room. The host also DC's when I've whittled down their support more often than not.

Nah, he was standing right before a fog wall and I'm a grape, I see if there are more than one phantom when invade.
>>
>>335813349
Phantoms are other players. If you see white/yellow symbols on the ground, you can summon that player to help you. If you want to be summoned, buy the white soapstone from the shrine handmaiden.
You can also be invaded by players who will try to kill you, and will either be red, purple, or red+blue.
>>
>>335813646
Most are. Any situation you can hit with a knife would be better spend hitting with a talisman or a crossbow anyway
>>
>>335813749
I should also mention shades/ghosts that you've probably seen by now if you're playing online. Those are just imprints left by other players in the area, and can't be interacted with. If you interact with a bloodstain, you'll see a shade that replays the death of another player, so you can learn from their mistakes.

what level have you guys had the most success for darkmoon/blue sentinel summons?
>>
>>335809460
Quick question from a lore noob.

So from what I appears, in DaS 1 & 2 the protagonist was fighting to prevent the end of the age of fire so that the age of darkness would not start. But then why did he have to fight all the fire "gods" or whatever the powerful beings who controlled the fire age were called? Wouldn't they be on the same side? Just confusing to me.
>>
>>335814451
around 40-50
>>
>>335814468
In DaS 1, your primary objective wasn't simply to kill Gwyn, it was to replace him as kindling for the first flame. The flame was dying because he was.
>>
>>335814629
In the good ending you usher in the age of dark
>>
Just invade at the Drago -kin Mausoleum. A lot of people new to the area don't expect and can't fare against the spawning Drakebloods/sometimes Havel. I got 10 sunlight medals in about 20 minutes becauae every time i invaded the host would freak out and die to them. I hardl ever even got to fight hosts there.
>>
>>335809460
how can anyone go anywhere near pvp in this game?

You need fighting game reaction times to fight yet every video of pvp I watch shows floaty laggy movement in pvp.

Surely its just swing and hope to hit and roll roll roll. I could see it requireing some skill if the lag wasnt so bad.
>>
>>335814842
There isn't a "good" or "bad" ending. You either extend the age of Fire (Gods), or usher in the age of Dark (Humanity). It's up to the player to decide which is better for the world.
>>
>>335814468
You have a choice in all the games, better choice was always to not link the flame actually, as this choice is pointless and if something Gwyn is an example that trying to prevent a whole cycle from ending is a really bad idea.

Thanks, I usually invade as a purple too.

Currently invading with the shadow set and a dark katana and bow. Using the environment and ambushes as a way of winning, because the katana itself is pretty bad.
>>
>>335811181
When invading, you quickly realize that your main goal shouldn't be to kill the host, it should be to inconvenience/embarrass as many people as you can that are present. 4v1? Bait them into killing themselves somehow. Dodge around their shit and take out a phantom. Have one of them get grabbed by a crab and squeezed to death.

1v1s are boring at this point because you can only cause so much anxiety to one person. Watching four people FREAK OUT is amazing.

so I was thinking about doing some mid game invasions for Rosaria, but I'm concerned about the gank squads. Would it be viable to get the white phantom ring? Does this even work?
>>
>>335816192
Yeah definitely this. Organised gank squads still aren't fun to deal with if you play by their rules. So if you see them either turtling around the bonfire, or some fucker is luring you to be ganked, then go and do something else.

If they use a giant seed, then make your way further into the level and just use a white branch.

Wait for backup, abuse lifts, lure monsters to them. Fire arrows at them with the greatbow if they cross a bridge.

1vs1 is fun as well, and should be treated like a duel. 1vs4 should be treated like you're running sens funhouse.

It could against some dumbos, but most of the time they'll know you're a red.

The Untrue Dark Ring, the one that makes you look human, can be used to good effect for hiding since you can make yourself blend in more, either with mobs or the environment. Together with the Obscuring Ring, you're a goddamn ninja.
>>
>>335816453
Its situational to use white ring or new ring. It only gives you an element of suprise on people who are spawning in after the invasion. Obscuring ring would be a better call

Right, what the fuck does it take to invade someone as a Watchdog? I'm SL 30 with a +2 Astora Greatsword and I have literally spent an hour and a half just waltzing through this whole area, never invading a single host as a Watchdog.

At one point I thought my internet might have been fucking up, but nope, first time I tried to Red Eye Orb invade it worked within seconds and many times after. I just can't get the Watchdog invasions to work at all. What the fuck do I do for the Bloodgrass?

Nah, the Obscuring Ring is the ten tongue reward from Rosaria's Fingers. It makes you completely invisible when you're outside of lock-on range (or so).

It's incredibly good for stalking and pranks.

Unless the invader is retarded, the second he notices that the mobs are all dead and the host and his pals are running around looking for him, he will black crystal out.

This is every single 3v1 story for me. I invaded as a grape.

Its not as bad as you think for you because you didn't choose Carthus' Chalice Dungeons where the host can hide in the boss room and you won't be sent home.

I never felt so bad invading in a souls game as I did in Dark Souls 3. I will never respect a sunlight warrior ever again. If I ever meet solaire its kill on sight. If a host is solo no more gestures, kill on sight because 90 percent of the time they hit and run summon signs until there are 3 of them. Even the game sometimes stops their abuse with summoning fails but ultimately the system works against the red and purple covenants.
>>
>>335819735
If greriat died in the sewers, then he will have the items from that trip when you turn in his ashes

Morion blade can only be obtained after the abyss watchers and before you move down into the catacombs. If you dont immediately warp back, youre fucked. It is important to note, though, that if you talk to Yuria during this moment and get the dialog asking for you to kill orbeck, you can then proceed to kill him at any point in the future and still turn in his ashes at yuria for the blade

At least you don't summon. You're a better man than many I've encountered in the game. There was a time when I ended up matched with a guy with like 30% HP near the end of a stage. I just jumped off a cliff and let him go because it wasn't worth it. I'm not that desperate for tongues and spines that I'll fight someone who can't fight back.

But when its the reverse, and you can tell the host and his summons are just toying with you because they know you can't win at all, it doesn't make for a fun experience.
I realize I'm trying to justify invasion practices but sometimes you just realize why invaders act so desperate.

I think that Hollow is a corruption of man's "true form", if that makes any sense. It's like if you tried to reverse someone's age and turn them back into a baby, and shit went wrong and they ended up being some disgusting adult-sized fetus thing.

I've been on both sides, my friends constantly want me to join them in some PvP which just means they're all grouping up and using the fingers and I find it boring as hell and feel bad for the invaders since I hate running into these groups myself, thank god they haven't been doing it these last few days though

I got my 30 tongues in an hour last night.

I did that several times before. The enemy mobs prioritize you over the host.

A masterwork of an encounter for you and the host.

You made the most of a bad situation and it almost paid off.

>>335824317
That's me invading them with an untrue ring. Level up with yoel 5 times and another NPC appears that sells those rings. They make you look human or like a white phantom.

Ornstein in that picture was also wearing that ring.

Oh, sure, you have to beat all the bosses with only a +2/+3 weapon of choice and Deprived-tier stats, but at least you get easy invasions.

>>335826401
They prioritize whoever attacked them last. If the invader aggros them first, they will stay on him until someone else attacks.
>>
>>335826240
You're the easiest prey. If whoever invades after you finds a host guarded by 2-3 phantoms, and a lone invader already pitting against them, killing the lone invader is gonna be way easier than killing a host that's probably being shielded and hand held by his phantoms

Still a fucking coward dick move, tho

Never invaded as a Red in previous souls games. Tried it last night and holy shit, I can see why everyone hates these gank squads. I did get one invasion where the host had 2 whites with him and they all fought me one on one, bad idea in their part but it was pretty fun.

Hey guys, this is a bit of a dumb question but I'm still a bit new to character builds. Been using a build calculator and well, I'd like to get to 40 DEX but noticed i have the 3 bonus from the Carthus ring. Does this mean i can just level it up to 37 and spend the three spare points elsewhere?
>>
>>335826581
They gain fucking nothing from killing me though, and will be left with a 4v1 instead of a 4v2 they would have if they had helped me instead. What retarded thought process even causes reds to come after me?

I got all pvp items at 15.
>>
>>335827168
yes, if you unequip the ring you just won't be able to attack right.
>>
>>335827202
The same that caused darkmoons invading dark Anor Londo in the first DaS to attack red invaders instead of hosts, sheer retardation

At least killing red invaders as a grey spirit in the belfries in 2 would count as covenant advancement kills

>>335827312
Ok thanks, just was unsure to do so, if i was planning on keeping ring on me. i guess once i get more rings I'll have option to switch stuff around situation wise
