Yeah just found an article on it from google. Seems that the info was released between Crown of the Old Iron King and Crown of the Ivory king. I'd assume the rates have gone up significantly as people have learned the fights. I'm kind of surprised to see Sinh on there, maybe it was just my setup but he went down fast with minimum fuss the first time I fought him blind in NG.

>>121300458
I'm ok with removing it, OP. Seeing as we already know far more than the leak entailed.
OP could do with a little bit of a clean up anyway.
dark souls 3 is gonna be shit
quote me and screenshot this
>>121300458
I love that gif. It's so fitting that a blue is being kicked around like a nerd.
>red phantom alt+f4-ed to avoid dying
why would anyone do this?
>>121301487
>>121301683
because they saw you in full havels
When is Demon's souls going to be on ps4
is co-op dead on sotfs or somethingwas I too late on getting this gameshould I just ce my loyce souls
>>121302292
>should I just ce my loyce souls
Yes.
Screw farming for those things.
>>121301830
oh ha ha
Seriously though, they were in a parry riposte animation and then just alt-f4ed. I dont get it.
>>121302929
Rage-quitting in a childish attempt at preventing you from getting your sweet riposte.
I have an itch to go back and finish DaS1, but I have a few questions.
-For physique, is it alright to go large lower body, or does it really fuck with armor to go anything but average?
-If I want to make a cleric-style character, is it better overall to start with the actual cleric class, or go deprived and just level myself towards becoming a cleric?
Any other general tips that could prove of use?
>>121301487
they were fun when you could kill them with the crystal ring shield
>>121302929
How can one differentiate between a player intentionally Alt+F4'ing and something like their power going out or internet connection dying?
>>121303034
large body type makes most armors look like a burrito
cleric/knight
>fight against a high level character
>it goes well, no one being cheap
>I start to win
>he circles around for the free backstab
I guess I just have to git gud
>>121303097
The disconnect message changes depending on method of disconnect.
Alt+F4 is "Separated from...."
While connection failure is "Lost sight of...."
Is there a reason I can' log in to DaS2 servers onPS4

Oh well

>>121302292
What's your SM?
Activity in the dlc areas varies wildly by SM bracket. Most of my DLC area invasion characters can't co-op there at all, but I find plenty of activity on some of my other, higher SM characters.
>>121303191
Its simple, you just need to exist in two different states of facing towards him and away from him at the same time.
>>121303231
Hmm; never knew that. Thanks, anon.
>>121303305
It's at 2m right now
Probably too low, since my SM was more than twice that in the original game when I was at that point
>>121303661
Yeah, for the most part the only people you'll catch for co-op at 2mil are people that are just rushing through the game on their nth playthrough or unironically making a pvp build without CE.
Why am i obsessed with the sun?
Every game i play i try to represent the covenant.
I just want to do sun things and kill things with solar damage. I even played a shitty game like destiny once and used nothing but heart of the praxic fire.
Help. For a person like me who likes the sun so much, i never actually go outside and see the real thing. I just want to help people and do sun things.

If I get invaded close to the next bonfire I just Alt+F4 out of there.
>>121309912
>you are being invaded
>uuh i am so scared
>alt f4 and open the game again
AHAHAHA
>>121310331
>>121309912
You best be trolling. I hate PVP and did my very best to avoid it at almost all costs, but even I never resorted to that.
>>121310331
>salty because people don't want ganked
Face it most invaders are stronger than you.
i am SL 97 on dark souls 1
is it too late to go into faith? i have 20 points already from early level but i realy want to shoot some lightnings
>>121311034
20 points shoots lightning senpai
>>121310549
>salty because people don't want ganked
you don't even know what being ganked means you fucking pussy
>Face it most invaders are stronger than you.
so what? that don't means you can't win, you can even kill hackers with unlimited health.
>>121311034
The only time it's too late to do something is if you're purposefully gimping yourself for the sake of PVP/co-op. If you're just going to play the PVE element of the game, go as far as ya want.
>>121311034
20 Faith will get you Lightning Spear
30 Faith will get you Great Lightning Spear
If you go to 30 now, that'll bring you to SL107, which is still fine for standard PvP
You do have to temporarily join the Sunlight covenant to get them btw
>>121310543
Lmao I get people pulling the plug on me all the time and I really don't blame them. If that's how they want to deal with twinks then let them. It's now like you get honor points or some bullshit for not doing it and I doubt they care that anonyderp on Souls general will judge them.
>>121311217
>>121311285

I'd rather not lose progress that I didn't deserve to lose, one thing that I like about the Souls games is the fact that they usually have pretty fair deaths. You fell off, your fault. You got hit by the boss, your fault. You get invaded by some dick with a chaos +5 weapon? Not your fault.
There's literally no way to tell if it will be a fair fight or he has a fully upgraded weapon.
>>121312040
WHY THE FUCK
ARE YOU IN HUMAN FORM
IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET INVADED
LITERALLY FUCKING WHAT
>>121312040
mildred is a ultra weak npc and drop 5 humanity+weapon and offers summon in the next boss
git gud
i bet you play ds2

>go hollow or offline mode
>proceeding to upgrade weapons and find better gear
>go back online or human
but no, keep on getting ganked
>>121312186
I agree with this guy for the most part. I can't stand these games' PVP so I did the thing the game's developers made so and just stayed hollow. The few times that I did encounter invaders, it was pretty much just them teleporting around due to shitty connections and killing me so fuck it.
>>121312040
You ventured through Blighttown in human form before killing Quelaag
Let's go through that one more time
You went through an area in human form before killing the boss
Once more, with passion
You went through a new area without knowing what you're doing, in human form

Did I ever mention DeS style lightingI thinkis still in the game?
>>121312550
soft humanity is active in hollow form
the defense and resistance gains, Chaos scaling, and Item Discovery have nothing to do with the "reverse hollowing" command
you have no idea what you're talking about
>>121312550
Nice copy/past from the Wiki. It's important to note that all the stat bonuses (weapon scaling, item discover, curse resist, etc.) take place just by having soft humanity in the upper-left counter. You do NOT need to be in human form for those to work. So the first item is purely cosmetic and the kindling can be done, then intentionally killing yourself so you have all those extra Estus while maintaining hollow's invasion-free status.

You need to read a guide to understand that you can't be invaded if you aren't in human form? it's your fault if you don't want to look like sausage not the game's fault
Can I leave before fighting black phantom Garl Vinalnd? I don't want to fuck up my world tendency and be unable to return the crest to what's-her-face.
>>121313253
Bully for you, nigger. You make that utterly visual decision that has no bearing on the game, and you take the consequences that come with it.

>>121313421
His body form went down like a bitch to 3 ripostes with a crushing great axe+3 with black turpentine, but I've heard the legends of his black phantom form.
>>121313509
I don't care about your Alt+F4, friendo. I hate PVP in these games. We're addressing your complaints about getting invaded because you don't like to play as Lordran's favorite Slim Jim warrior.
>>121313509
>i want the benefit of summons without the risk of invasions
you're a child
>>121313647
yes, it took me like 10 minutes to kill him, i had to make him get plague with baby's nail like 5 times and waited his death
the brandt gives him resistance to plague, so it takes a lot of time for him to die
>>121313702
it's "your", kid
>>121313671
I actually enjoy getting invaded when I'm not far from the bonfire, I like the PvP, I just don't care for being fucked up by someone who wasn't me.
>>121313509
>I want other player summons
go back to ds2 kid, you are right in not playing das1.

Is the Souls fanbase the most cancerous fanbase of all?

Assfaggots my dear dumb frog poster sempai.
>>121315351
A very loud 30% of it is yes
>>121315631
No. [Any MMO Community] is much worse.
>>121314998
as i said i died a lot of times until i did that getting one hit, or dying by the dead babies.
>>121312901
Whoa, how do you turn it on?
>>121315862
Any MMO, any MOBA. Pretty much any online game available right now is at very least as bad as the souls fanbase, and an overwhelming majority are worse by several orders of magnitude.
We're pretty lucky, all things considered, that the worst we deal with is a few stale memes recycled ad nauseum and some 'literally who'-tier irrelevant streamers.
>>121316736
Shit communities for shit games

The highlighted option here.
It has some weird lighting interactions in some places, like Oolacile having this red tint and some objects being weirdly bright like the pillars in the OnS screenshot.
I'm not entirely sure it's the DeS lighting, but that was my impression when I saw it.
>>121317649
In this screenshot, It looks almost the same as the normal lightning except the red tint.
>>121317649
Hey, thanks man. I appreciate it! That'll be fun to mess with.
>>121317918
But Alsanna was waifu material
>>121317967
It's weird sometimes.
What Strength would I need to only two-hand Smough's hammer? The 58STR requirement is fucked up.
>>121317981
that was far funnier than it had any right to be
>>121318372
Footnotes
1. when two handing this weapon, only 39 Strength is required
>>121318051
There's all sorts of neat things you can do with it.
Set it to Ghost, then change your Chr type, you can apply the phantom effect to the entire world.
If you want it to be a gold or blue phantom, change your covenant type, then change to that Chr type.
Does the weapon that you use to create a boss weapon make a difference?
Like if I used a mace vs a reinforced club to make smough's hammer
>>121318998
Woah. Can I see that in Anor Londo please, dearest anon.

>>121318470
>>121319310
thanks i made it
>>121318998
I remember a while back somebody did the same thing to Lost Izalith.
Man, the idea of getting invaded by an entire area of the game just seems amazing.
>>121317918
The Ivory King: the only king in these games to actually try and get shit done.
>>121319570
I have no idea how that would work in a Souls game, but I'd love that as a mechanic as long as it wasn't shitty like the Rat covenant
>>121317625
Said every husband ever
>>121319209
It works poorly with trees.
>>121319408
When they moved Dark Souls from GFWL to Steamworks, they accidentally patched in the developer debug assets. They patched it out after about half an hour, but the damage was done.
>>121319570
Yeah, I did that. I hadn't figured out back then why sometimes it used the white phantom effect and sometimes the black phantom, but it turns out it just uses the most recent phantom effect that's been loaded on a player or NPC. Basically, it was Kirk's fault.
>>121319727
I imagine it'd be some kind of triggered event, like you interact with some object or talk to some NPC and break the seal on some empyrean realm of horrors, than now invades you randomly, superimposing itself over the area you were previously in and drawing you into this labyrinthine red phantom city.
Imagine if every player (or at least up to 6) invaded by it appeared all within the same client simultaneously, and their shared objective in order to escape was to either slay another player or kill the boss at the end, which would release every player and cleanse the blight from your world for that playthrough. The twist?There's no bossfog, and all of the players currently in the world can enter the bossroom to kill you.
For added fun, I'd throw in a temple guardian covenant, who get summoned into this red phantom world when it invades a group of players with the goal of aiding the stage in killing them all and protecting the boss (their covenant leader)
>>121320347
>They patched it out after about half an hour, but the damage was done.
So it's impossible for new people to have access to it?

>>121323713
looks like it's not
Occult is effective on silver knights but my Battle Axe +10 is dealing more damage per backstab on them
>>121323639
The feeling of impact in the Dark Souls animations is produced by simulating weight, which comes from the wind up and recovery animations as well as the way hits chain together.
It just makes a weapon blow look and feel heavier to have the character appear to have a bit of difficulty hefting the weapon. You'll notice the same animation techniques used in Monster Hunter for the heavy weapons.
I've used Cheat Engine to create myself as a being made entirely of water and must defend the Pond.

and it need to be? the curse is not on the body, this is not a disease, your body degrades as your mental health degrades too.
Also theres that full hollow blacksmith in das2 that seems fine, different than the undead merchant from das1 that are clearly going insane.
But it's useless to talk about this, das2 director didn't knew what he was doing, so whatever
i found this gril and i thought it was so forced that at first she was all like ''hum stay away faget'' and when you talk with her again she acts super nice with you like if you were her best friend ever.

these things seem to show up at the worst times. the last time I saw one, it was blocking my path at anor londo archers.

Help me out here guise
Where do I take my build from here? I'm able to swap the Gravelord Sword out for aChaos Zweito mix things up a little. I don't want to invest any/many more points into STR/DEX and don't really want to vitgouge, more attunement maybe? I've done quality builds before, but this one has me stumped.
Guide me, /dsg/.

Between the LockCamParam and ChrFollowCam, someone could probably make a much better first person script.
One of the first things I'm noticing is that setting the Cam distance at about 0.5, then adjusting the chase rate so the camera doesn't do that thing where it falls behind the player as they're running makes for much smoother controls.
Trying to figure out how to prevent it from pulling up/down when you go up/down stairs though.
>>121328087
Huh, first one I saw was at Anor Londo too, although he was standing right in front of the right archer, and stomped my shit when I found out they could attack.
I didn't know what they were called or even how to start searching for them online so I spooked myself out for a bit by thinking I was the only one it had happened to.
>>121330079
Just play dark messiah or something, the first person novelty will wear off in like 30 minutes

Apparently me. Now I'm just sitting at the GH bonfire contemplating deletion.
>>121331961
Could be worse
You could've tried to farm the clams and gotten all your equipment broken
And then died to a Vagrant right as you were about to reach the bonfire
Both of these happened to me
Are these texture issues an inherent issue when you up the resolution in DSfix, or am I doing something wrong?
>>121331961
pick up the Cracked Red Eye Orb chest from beneath the parish elevator in Firelink
trade one of them with Snuggly for two Purging Stones
>>121330431
Nah, I was having more fun playing with the camera controls than I was actually playing in first person. That's why I said "someone could" make the script, because I don't really care enough to do it either.
Blue Smelter is literal cancer
Variable attack speed and humongous auto tracking is literally the worst idea
>>121332316
>occult uchigatana
Might as well make it Raw if you want yourself to suffer that much.
>>121332450
>Variable attack speed
Never play bloodborne, that's 90% of the difficulty and every enemy is designed to catch rolls
The other 10% is horrible gangrape that makes DaS2 look like a baby's rattler
Tracking isn't an issue though
>>121332450
Stop rolling early fagit
>>121332474
It's a novelty thing
I also have a Divine Iaito and a Normal Washing Pole on that character
>>121332474
It deals better crit damage and does more damage to bosses.
>>121332578
You forgot ambushes that you can't possibly know about until you die the first time to it because they're more imbalanced and poorly thought out than DaS2
Or how every boss has a move pretty much guaranteed to instagib
>>121333080
The ambushes aren't a big deal unless they're part of that horrible gangrape bit.
Most of the ambushes in the game are just some shitty trash mobs that can't possibly kill you, and it's just one of them.
I actually like that some of them have instagibs. It makes them as dangerous as they look.
And if you get hit by them, you probably deserved it.
Only exception is defiled loran bloodletting beast's grab. Fuck that shit.
>>121333080
>ambushes that you can't possibly know about
Someone misunderstood what they meant by "fast-paced."
Pro-tip: Don't run in unfamiliar areas.
Dark souls is a serious game with dark themes

>>121335014
Velstadt and Smelter were also bretty good IMO.
>>121335952
Velstadt's character and such was good but the fight itself pretty eh. Smelter was good.
>>121335014
Prepatch Lost Sinner with the lights off was actually pretty good.
Just playing dark souls for the first time. How do people even find shit like this place, behind like two secret walls and a chest? I'm sure online probably helps after one guy finds it, but still. What was that one guy even doing. There isn't even anything worthwhile at the bottom, just a spooky lake and some clam people.
>>121337238
One of the infinite monkeys stumble on it by accident and it spreads from there.
>>121337238
The dragon covenent you idiot
Does using the trainer to fuck around with builds get you soft banned or is there no way for them to detect that since it's all pretty much CE?
>>121337572
The covenants are pretty worthless, unless you're playing online.
>>121337238
>There isn't even anything worthwhile at the bottom
The Great Hollow contains the Cloranthy Ring and 10 Crystal Lizards.
Siegmeyer's story ends at the Ash Lake bonfire if you've done all of his other events correctly. This gets you a Titanite Slab.
Great Magic Barrier is in the middle of the area.
There's a covenant leader at the end of the area. You can cut his tail for the Dragon Greatsword even if you're not interested in its covenant. It won't go hostile so it's basically free.
>>121337660
depends what game ur playin family
>>121337793
Dark Souls 2 SOTFS senpai desu
>>121337713
Most of everything else is worthless as well if you're just sticking with your one favorite weapon and armor the whole way through.
Besides that, one of the side quests end there with a pretty good reward.

Hey there>>121337718
>>121337238
Didn't find it on my first playthrough, heard about it on my second and went there first thing.
>>121338437
not to mention how much stuff Great Hollow has on the way there if you bother to catch them all
>>121338151
DSfix will only increase the game's resolution. It still looks like garbage even for the time, don't delude yourself.
>>121338750
Textures are mediocre but the design of everything is still great. Ash Lake especially is chilling when the first time come across it
I hate how Iron Keep has so many fucking Allone Knights in the area surrounding Smelter's boss fog. Improve enemy placements my ass.
>>121324228

>>121339887
are you Kenan Thompson
So I'm on an SL1 playthrough and decided instead of the normal approach to get the master key and find out just how much I can explore before even fighting a boss.
It seems, and correct me if I'm wrong, from the start of the game these are all the bosses that can be your "first" boss.
>taurus
>gargoyles
>moonlight butterfly
>pinwheel
>capra demon (can either use the skip in undead burg or skip burg, go to church, pick up basement key)
>Sif
>quelagg
>stray asylum demon
8 Whole bosses (if you count hellkite and both hydras, then it's 11). Kind of cool to think about. The level design in DaS might be a bit more lackluster than DeS, but the world design is too fucking great.
>>121340009
nope
>>121340081
I agree with you there, and I think das2 improved level design in some aspects but botched the world design. Most people just disagree with it entirely but I think there are some great and unique atmospheres in das2
>>121340081
How would you skip taurus?
So I got this up and running.
How long of hitting a wall does it take to break santier's spear?
>>121340250
Masterkey to havel
Open door to darkroot
Go under firelink
New londo
Go up the other room
Master key open gate to valley of drakes*
Run past drakes
take elevator to darkroot
*Or
Go straight to quelagg/ash lake
Once at darkroot you can run to andre and continue your adventure from there.
>>121340391
i think you can find the info on a wiki but not that long
>>121340391
Go to Rhoy's Rest bonfire in Amana, unequip all gear except for spear and stand by the acid cloud spitting mushroom, or go to Aldia's keep and do the same but in the acid pool with the dogs in it
dunno how fast that ticks but it's pretty rapid durability depletion
>>121340451
Ah right, Havels door was just before the Boss.
>>121340529
Yeah, that's what I first did, but the durability didn't go down. Must have patched it.
>>121340081
Matthewmatosis covers your post pretty much verbatim in his Dark Souls video
>>121340623
fuck it's immune to acid cloud? that's shit
oh well, time to smack a wall for an hour
>>121340391
Why not just break the bitch with CE?
