Currently replaying DaS2 (not scholar), how does the heide knight sword scaling work with its lightning damage? I don't intend to put a single point in faith.

Why does Cheat Engine crash/not work when I try to enable a script? Playing Scholar.

I just started Dark Souls and i have some questions.
I'm playing with a controller, so i'm kinda cozy.
I've managed to defeat pretty much every boss before the Capra Demon, and killed that fucking fucker at the first try by cheesying him on the stairs.
I'm having a blast so far, considering that i got online twice and failed to aid a dude the first time and get instapunked by some tomato cunt the latter.
Should i play in hollow or human form?
Even more, is zweihander-leather armor viable?
What about humanities? should i always use it as it drops or just keep the level at 1?
>>

Yo why does nothing happen when I click "Enable" here? this is the General Table from the CE guide in the OP.
I'm using CE 6.4 but it's saying there's a new version out, could that be it? I don't see versions past 6.4 on the CE website though.
>>
>>122628614
Anything is viable, being human doesn't matter game is mostly dead, humanities in the top corner are called soft humanity and the items are referred to as hard humanity, don't use hard humanity unless you have to, keeping the counter at 1 is good because that raises your item drops by a good amount. In the future if you want to PVP it helps to have 99 soft humanity because it raises Physical Def but it's not needed for PvE.

Bonfire kidling? It increases the amount of maximum estus you can use for that particular bonfire, but you have to turn human first. Otherwise, you can keep them for healing if you run out of estus since it heals you for 100% of your health.

Not the other guy, but personally I always popped my humanities when I don't go human or play offline. The defense can really help at some points of the game, but eh, some people are afraid of losing stuff you're gonna gain back in reasonable numbers anyway.

Why was every boss pretty simple to kill (Maiden of Astrae gave me some problems, can't roll in swamp and bodyguard healed during my first fight so I just shot her with arrows)

I'm level 60 but I just can't dodge that huge AoE Allant does, he did it twice when I had him about half health so I couldn't heal before the second cast went off

Seriously every boss was pretty simple or had some bullshit to it but they weren't this hard

Good music though

Ohh and before I kill him what happens? I did every other world but is he just the end of the game? Is there anything else I can do before I fight him against to maybe level up some more besides grinding?

Fuck, first build that's getting destroyed by Artorias. Can't even get 1/4 of his health down. I'm using natural/animalistic/'big guy' sorts of weapons like the clubs but they're all so slow but no problems until now. Is there any weapon that fits that description that I have overlooked?
He's resistant to these:

Slash
Blunt
Magic
Fire
Lightning

and I'm using a chaos large club which does next to nothing.

>>122649061
Arty just has good Def, making the fight last somewhat longer than most bosses, just stay patient, find your openings, don't over extend and take you're time.
>>
>>122649186
I usually get him on the first few attempts, first attempt on faster weapons but I'm doing so little damage with this since he resists both. I need a new weapon.

If you have PS4 just skip DS2 and go straight into bloodborne.

Honestly i can't say that DS2 is a plain horrible game. It was just ruined fucking HARD by its development cycle and shitted on even further with "balance" patches which nerfed everything aside from longswords and rapiers, devolving pvp to wdr1 spam on arena.

GMB only lasts 30 seconds in DS1 and requires a specialized build.

>>122653278
I guess you never ate dark beads or CSS or HCSM through the crest shield.
The only thing that can reliably block magic in DS1 is havel's shield which requires a specialized setup to even be usable while magicfags are still able to counter it through another means. That's it. Nothing else in DS1 is suited for blocking magic in any shape or form.
>>
>>122653337
I've done the same tests myself while i was still playing in that turd of a game.

im not that guy but i remember miy right handed attacks doing more damage. also power stancing with a +10 on the left and +0 on the right did less damage than +0 on the left and +10 on the right.

From what i remember it doesn't affect bows or catalysts.
But blue flame is technically a sword so it does affect its magic damage.

History repeats itself, it seems.

- DeS

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-01-demons-souls-was-a-failure-before-miyazaki-stepped-up

>Demon's Souls wasn't doing well. The project had problems and the team had been unable to create a compelling prototype. But when I heard it was a fantasy-action role-playing game, I was excited. I figured if I could find a way to take control of the game, I could turn it into anything I wanted. Best of all, if my ideas failed, nobody would care - it was already a failure

- DaS3

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dark-souls-3-interview-this-is-a-turning-point-for/1100-6429569/

>Initially, I wasn’t involved in the project, I joined at the midpoint of the prototyping phase. That was the milestone where I started taking lead. Honestly speaking, when the team was working on the prototype build, overall development wasn’t in a good shape.

Will Miyazaki save DaS3 as he saved DeS ?
>>
>>122656295
Because they can´t make all things different from 1
>>
>>122656464
God I hope so.

DaS2 wasn't bad, but underwhelming.

I'm hoping that DaS3 will recreate the astounding atmosphere of DeS.
>>
>>122656464
Wait, so are those other devs at From just utter garbage, since Miyazaki has to step in and fix their shit every time ? He would've probably saved DaS2 as well, but he was alredy busy with BB, so somebody else (Tanimura) had to fully take reign of the project after Shibuya fucked up.
>>
>>122656464
So basically, it boild down to this:
- DeS - someone else starts the project - fails - Miyazaki takes over - win
- DaS - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
- DaS2 - Shibuya starts project - fails - Tanimura takes over, but Tanimura isn't Miyazaki so he does what he can - kinda fail
- BB - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
- DaS3 - someone else starts the project - fails - Miyazaki takes over - TBA

It seems to me that, at this moment, he's the only person at FROM truly capable of directing a Souls game.

>>122657848
If Tanimura was directing DS2 from beginning it could've been much better. He was involved in shadow tower abyss which was atmospheric as fuck and his DLC are goat.
>>
>>122658389
But wasn't he co-director with Tanimura from the beginning ?
>>
>>122657848
>- BB - Miyazaki directs the game from the start - win
hahahahaha
>>
>>122658491
The very first DaS2 interview from December only mentioned Shibuya as director, with no mention of Tanimura.

http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/19/3783452/dark-souls-2-staff-discuss-the-vga-trailer-and-what-having-real

>Miyazak — who is moving from his previous director role to a supervising role, while Tomohiro Shibuya will step up to the director's chair

Also, this was the only Shibuya interview, ever. The ones the followed mentioned both Shibuya and Tanimura as co-directors, while only Tanimura was interviewed. The ones leading to the game's release only mentioend Tanimura as director.

Dunno, DaS is only half finished and BB has chalice dungeons.
But I guess if you ignore the bad for whatever reason the games are perfect.
>>
>>122660134
Manus is a chump by the time Artorias and Kalameet are done wiping the floor with you. What's the .gif from?

>>122660230
Yeah, just join the covenants you like the most. They're not a big deal and most of them are PvP related. You have to go quite out of your way to actually max them anyway.
>>
>>122660230
Honestly don't bother, covenants have minimal impact on your experience unless you're taking extended breaks for pvp and co-op throughout your playthrough.
Just pick one that suits your character and stick with it.
>>
>>122660381
>>122660458
ok thanks. not sure which one suits me. assisting in co-op sounds fun I guess. do any of them have a reward that outweighs the others?

I fucking loved the way Gwyn's fight was handled. He wasn't even difficult, which actually works in the games favour because you can tell this guy is just a husk of the badass he used to be and you've just got to do what you've got to do. The music man, the music.

Exactly

I thought it was a good idea

>>122662285
Depending on the shield you can defend yourself from even dark magic. the Sliver pendent is still needed but there is at least one dark magic attack that can be block via a shield

Once it roars and readies to attack start running to where you think it'll land. Halberd running attacks are instant in water anyways for some reason, so it shouldn't be too hard. Alternatively, you can just take out a bow and shoot the body to death.

Hey Anons, need some advice.

I own a ps3, a ps4 and in the pcmasterrace. I have Dark Souls 2 with the three kings DLC for PS3. Beat it to death.
Currently on NG through Bloodborne.

Now DaS 2 is on sale at Humble for 25 bucks for PC.

Your right anon. I don't have the Scholar DLC and haven't heard much good about it. I'm headlong in BB now.

Atmosphere, storeline, and even the sidequests are awesome. Combat is much more aggressive than the turtle and roll tactics in DaS 2.
