Every time I try to make a new character in DkS I notice the face has a noticeably yellowish tint compared to the rest of the body. I tried everything even the beard option on female characters, and I still cannot tell what causes it. Can I fix it or is it hopeless?

Weeb studying nipplenese here. Has anyone been able to change their US versions of DaS1 or 2 to have Japanese text? Can't seem to do so even after setting the language in the Steam properties

Maybe you should study Google instead.

>>125855963
I've seen that post, but dsfix doesn't have an override for Japanese. It does for a bunch of other languages, though
>>125855963
The DSfix method doesn't work for me, for some reason. I've never been abale to switch the internal game language even after setting Steam to english and reDLing the game
I'm an xbox player who recently bought the PC version. I want to jump into the pvp, and I would use a mega mule of my own creation on xbox before (no ?wn? or any of that bullshit. Just upgraded gear so I don't have to farm up to a pvp level or run through the game 3 times for a weapon).
I know that most people use cheat engine , and I've checked the sticky, but I was wondering if there was a working mega mule script for cheat engine. I know there is one that exists, but for some reason whenever I try to click "enable" it doesn't check off and nothing happens. I know that I'm following all the directions correctly.

So... the dark soul gets its power from the Fire?
Thus the fire running out of power is the cause of the undead curse?
>>125859729
most souls are so, but the dark soul is unique. it gets stronger as the fire fades. the reason of the undead curse is gwyn’s fuckery
>>125859729
The exact opposite but whatever.
The gods explicitly care about fire but the dark soul gets stronger the weaker the flame is
>get a bittersweet/sad feeling when i make a character that i like

>>125860061
>relive the happiness i had as a child playing videogames
Probably the main reason I like the Souls games. I remember as a kid, I just played games, never understanding what the fuck to do. Whenever a cutscene happened, I knew I did things right. The Souls games do that for me. I can freely be as ignorant as I want about the story, and a simple boss cutscene or fog gate will always pat me on the back, letting me know I'm making progress
>>125859927
>>125859993
okay I don't get it. I would have thought the undead curse was because the fire was running low on power, thus the dark soul was weak, and thus humans were being stripped of the dark soul and becoming hollows. Hollows are just creatures without any kind of soul.
If the Dark Souls get stronger, then why do they spread the undead curse? Why does the abyss spread?
>>125860379
The dark souls gets stronger as the fire gets weaker, there really isn't too much else to it the things just are opposites and thats the way the world is written.

What the fug is this. Soul vessels be damned, the character only got me mad. I tried a havelfag with a greatsword but getting stun locked by everything is maddening with that new poise. Now I'm having decent fun with a light gear guy using a long sword and a rapier.
>>125860548
Hump his leg
>>125860452
But why does ti make the dark sign? Shouldn't it do the opposite and make humans more humany? Hollows are lacking a dark soul.
>>125860684
It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
The overarching thing about Light (Fire depending on how you view it) vs Dark is the fact that the Age of Fire and everything that men think they are is an illusion created by the first flame, and the Dark is just reverting back to their natural state as undying things that wander around doing absolutely nothing
>>125860597

>>125860797
>It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
Using humanity allows you to revert from hollow to human though. And it was the original dark soul that created humans in the first place. So why would MORE Dark Soul power result in hollows and an undead curse?
>It does make humans more human, the natural state of humans is being zombie like faggots sitting around doing nothing.
Until we got the dark soul.
The undead curse is the cutting off of some humans from the dark soul. And that starving of humanity slowly turns them hollow.
Hollow = no humanity, not too much humanity.

The faggot snake says there's darkness, and "true" darkness. I'm guessing the "true" age of darkness is a newly established world and kingdom.
Fuck it, what if it's the world of Dark Souls 2? Thatd be neato. But don't overthink the story. It's just an afterthought compared to intricate design they put in everything else
>>125861126
Na your headcanon of humanity being the only source of the dark souls is retarded because then there is no reason for hollows to move around in the first place
Does anyone get massive lag when using White Dragon Breath?
>>125859174
I hate invasion design in DS2 so fucking much.
>>125861440
Furtive Pygmy got the dark soul. Became human. His descendants get parts of the dark soul.
Without humanity humans become undead hollows.
Dark Sign is a curse where humans turn undead. Undead can steal Dark Soul shards ("humanity") to consume and stay sane.
>because then there is no reason for hollows to move around in the first place
Movement and life are not special. Consciousness is. Dark Soul and Lord Souls give the original beings power and minds.
The original world was just dragons and arch trees living on the top, and some unchanging undead creatures down below doing nothing. Nothing changed. Then the fire changed everything.
The fire running out means the world is turning back to the world it originally was, mindless undead and nothing changing. Even the dragons would eventually come back.

Way more varied than any souls shit aka 1000 versions of soul arrow.
Do you think they're gonna do cool transformations for DaS3 like they did with BB?
For some reason I'm imagining the dragonform finally having wings.
>>125860379
Fire produces both light and dark. Both the fancy lord souls and shitty dark souls were found in the first flame. That's why fire scales off both int or faith in DS2. Deepest lore.
>>125861667
>Even the dragons would eventually come back.
Well glad I can disregard everything you said as some retarded ass fanficion, believe it all you want but holy shit thats retarded.
>>125861932
The hit boxes added with wings would make playing it abysmal, no?
>>125861974
>Well glad I can disregard everything you said as some retarded ass fanficion, believe it all you want but holy shit thats retarded.
The Dragons are coming back in 3, and Miyazaki has said they're elementals who can regenerate and never fully die.
>>125861932
What are you talking about, boss transformations and phases? Probably, tree boss has a transformation already.
I doubt they will make any bosses that can top Ludwig or Gehrman though.
>>125862056
Not him but I thought the primordial crystal Seath stole was what gave them godmode/invulnerability/yada yada?

I think he means more along the lines of the Beast/Lumenwood transformations that were added in the recent update.

After doing an egg head run, wish there was more to it than 50% less souls and a shitty kick replacement that does like 15 damage.

It's their scales that gave them immortality or some shit. Seath was scaleless and mortal thus he jelly.

>>125862775
You know I never understood this? Why do people cheat to use endgame gear just to go around and kill new players? They don't have the ability to put up a good fight, and there's no reason to harvest humanity or souls when they obviously can use their editors to get as much as they want. And if its trolling, why don't they spice it up? Maybe do the Darkwraith dance or something? Fuck
>>125862913
Because if you want an actual skill based fight you play a game designed around that
some people just enjoy playing with a massive advantage and the game allows for it
>>125862783
In bloodborne you can make one arcane build.
In Souls, you can make at least 4.
"More varied" my ass.

Thats not its intended design. They cheated to do that. You can be cheap in other ways
>>125862896
SL?
>>125863028
>They cheated to do that
Cheating would be if they actually straight up used CE, but you can beat the entire game at level 1 and get endgame gear on an early game character.
It's the fault of the matchmaking system and general balancing but its not cheating. Again some people are like that
>>125863028
>They cheated to do that
Not necessarily. You can go and beat the game at SL1 so it's not impossible to obtain all the endgame gear legitimately. Thief's Key makes things pretty easy too.
Ultimately it's a fault of the game for allowing it. Blaming anything else is rather silly.
>>125862972
>In bloodborne you can make one arcane build.
This has nothing to do with a variety of magic.
Having a dark version of soul arrow/HCSM and samey fire/lighting aoe doesn't make actual gameplay more varied.
One arcane build in BB blows the fuck out all magic playstyles of souls games.
>>125862983

Nope. Being SL1 and killing the Lords is perfectly doable, and once you know where everything is and the boss movesets, almost easy with a little patience.

Gonna keep this str/dex for a while, until I can level up my other stats. would it be worth infusing this scimitar with fire or lightning?
>>125864110
with that faith and int, i wouldnt. you could raw it though
>>125864110
>3 INT
>8 FTH
If you're hell bent on using magic with that scimitar then you're probably better off using a BA on the sinner and turning her old soul into flame weapon. You aren't doing shit with magic or dark damage, and you're not so great with lightning damage. Your fire damage is also bad, but you can apply it with minimal stat investment.
>>125864519
>2attunement
he'd need to roll with that one ritual ring for a slot too
>>125864519
Its just the scimitar str or dex scaling doesn't lower with infusion, so I thought giving it straight up more AR might work, then again, split damage so who knows
>>125863462
sorry to whoever summoned me, im too tired for this shit
>>125864825
The scaling from 18str and 15dex aint shit compared to the base dmg raw would give it, yo. Can always use a palestone later to take it off
>>125862161
that crystal shit made them double immortal for some reason
Rogue gear is actually pretty aesthetic in a sort of "new adventurer in an rpg" way
>>125864621
That's always an option, and if he wanted to get the +1 he could also carry poison or toxic pyromancy.
>>125864825
>the scimitar str or dex scaling doesn't lower with infusion
The letter may not change, but you do sacrifice some scaling with infusion. You also lower the base damage. From the wiki:
>Lightning
>Reduces: Base damage, STR and DEX stat bonuses, damage and aux effects reduction.
The scimitar does get B scaling with its element though, which is nice.
Throwing resin or a magic buff on a weapon is generally a straight upgrade with no consequence. May as well raw up the weapon like the other Anon said and throw some magic on it.
>>125865489
The Crystal is something artificial created by Seath later to gain immortality.

dasdreck: the post
>>125866674
Low weight with high resists works well. Poise only shine in this one if you use great weapons, they take something like half poise damage while mid-swing
>>125866674
>cast Force on a havel
>doesn't stun them
>>125866674
>why can't I poisestab everything to death
Poise is only really useful if you are using heavy weapons because of the way it works in 2.
Honestly neither 1 nor 2 does poise well, 2 does it slightly better at the cost of making a convoluted mess thats a pain to understand
>>125867080
>2 does it better
if im wearing solid plates of armor i shouldnt be staggered by a knife
hyperarmor>>>>>>>>>>shit>>>>poise
Debate me.
>>125867212
Nah poise stabs were retarded and its a good thing they are gone in 2.
>>125867080
No, I just don't want to be wearing 17 inches of steel and be stun locked by a tiny slashing katana that should just bounce off
>>125867236
im not saying they werent
but thinking that this is acceptable is
>>125867242
And I don't want DS1 meta PvP of nobody ever attacking because of poisestabs, and so far from what we have seen in the network test its gone in 3 as well, thank fuck for that.
>>125867331
Yeah rolling attacks always stagger unless you are in hyperpoise frames, and you weren't
Again poise in 2 is far better because you can't just facetank every hit from a lighter weapon, poise exists in 2 as a crutch for super heavy weapons and against R1 spammer but there are ways to counter it, R2's and shit like rolling attacks, it is a far better system
Honestly I would prefer no poise, but DS2 poise>DS1 poise
>>125867231
as long as all weapons have hyperarmor in one of their attacks im fine.
Alright, so i want to a Ludwig build
Dark Souls 2 is the only game that has a helmet that resembles a horse, which is the Minotaur helm. Which is great because the archdrake robes look like what Ludwig was wearing. and the moonlight greatsword is in the game so i can scratch that off my list
here's where things get tricky. the only leggings that resemble horse hooves are Havel's, which sucks because it's a different color. I have no idea what can of gauntlets to wear. I was thinking about having the Thorned Greatsword and the claws as his off hand weapons
what gloves should i wear? should i use anything in my left hand? should i use any spells? do you think this build will look silly? I'm trying to do Ludwig justice
>>125867508
You're not going to get a viable Ludwig cosplay out of DS1. Just go human Ludwig in DS2.
>Powerstance Ice rapier with a straight sword

>>125867778
congratulations anon, you found the build for you
>>125867759
i want to do horse Ludwig, which is why i said i needed to wear the minotaur helm, which is in dark souls 2
appreciate it though
also, why the chaos robe? the archdrake robe looks more accurate
>>125867508
This is a very long shot but see what happens if you break havels legs, as I recall broken equipment looked different but I never did it with havels stuff, the acid pits of shaded ruins or whatever should work just fine for testing it
any tactics to make forlorn spawn more? i haven't beaten the covetus demon and i heard the spot behind the giant in the poison pool makes him spawn
>>125867508
smelter leggins look like hoofes cath leggins icronclad havels mastodon
gauntlets don´t matter much since the robes cover them

moonlight great sword maybe the blue moon one raw infused as physical back up
spells maybe some aoe ones
left a fist weapon
>>125868098
Not even sure but from personal experience he seems to spawn more if he I am fully hollow
>>125868098
Just play through the game, he'll show up enough times eventually.
>>125868080
>>125868117
damn, this looks silly
i was thinking the black gloves because they are they only ones that look sharp and pointy
the robes will look smaller when i wear them right? they're just weirdly blown up in this picture?
>>125868098
He spawns when you're having a shit time, like that one time when you have 100000000000 souls on a bloodstain that supposedly easy to retrieve, but he spawns and fucks you up so it's like 100000000000000 souls gone 4ever!
>>125868098
Check the wiki, it has all the spots where they spawn
>>125868345
Depends but do take the slimmest body type
>>125868345
No, those robes look like that normally, you could try making a skinny character. I think the shadow gloves are pointy?
>>125868345
yes you see it anyway when you start up char with differen body type
I just can't defeat the Gargoyles
is there some ebin glitch or spot to stand in or whatever to make this fight super easy?
any nice weapons to go with my wild man build?
>>125869053
In what game?
>>125869141
ds1
>>125869160
stop using drake sword and knight shield. learn to roll and get good.
hey /dsg/! I've been away for about a year or so, do we know who this guy from the gameplay reveal trailer is? he looksspooky
>>125869053
There is this trick called getting better at the game.
>doing red sign duels whilst listening to soul blade soundtrack dressed as cervantes
its like i'm really a kid again
>>125869218
holy shit
how did you know I was using those
>>125869160
holy SHIT son, git gud, I mean how are you even gonna beat Anor Londo if you are such a sissy? You even got Solaire to beat the boss for you faggot.
>>125869223
No, but it's probably an npc.
>>125869223
probably a covenant leader
>>125869285
I can't summon him because I don't have humanity or something
>>125869272
because they are noob bait weapons. get any weapon you like and upgrade it to +5 at andre and try again.
I just finished dark souls and I loved the lore.
What would you guys rate the lore of DaS 2 ? Is it shit?
what's the best PvP greatsword? Standard greatsword? Crypt blacksword?
>>125869272
>Using a guide in your first playthrough
>>125869457
Overall lore
Breddy ass
Has some nice characters though but its mostly in the DLC
>>125869530
you dont need guide to get drake sword when the bridge is littered with messages to attack the tail.
>Anytime I invade at Dragon Shrine
>Host and his boytoy sitting at the bonfire
They hiding from me or greathammer guardians?
>>125869550
>Nice characters in the dlc
I remember only one and it was in the ivory king.
why is this set so horribly proportioned
>>125869582
I doubt most players know you can bait the drake down the bridge or that it's possible to shoot it with arrows if they didn't read a guide, at least the first time around. Most die to his fire breath attack and decide to avoid him.
>>125869053
The key to making gargoyles easier is to kill one before the other spawns. If you haven't upgraded your weapons, do so at Andre.
>>125869724
Why do your roommates explode?
>>125869819
but isnt the drake sword better than any weapons I can upgrade right now?
>>125869676
>ivory king
>raime
>drakeblood knights
>all the 3 queens in general
>Venrdic's bonus dialogue
>>125869457
Overall it's kinda interesting like DS1.
However, despite DS2 having more characters, most of them can be described with 1-liners.
>Lucatiel is a fuckup
>Leingrast is a dad
>Cholanne love stones
>Giligan is a greedy dick
>Pate hates Creighton
>Creighton hates Pate.
>etc.
>>125869972
no it's shit because it has no stat bonuses.
>>125869972
If you have low stats then it's likely. Look at the numbers in your character sheet.
>>125870054
You can do that for any character in either game.
Is there a way to see if a weapon has stat bonuses in-game???
>>125869053
well summon solaire
lock on and walk in circles around them
drakesword is a good weapon for the first parts of the game but you won´t learn much about the game itself using it
>>125870054
same can be said about ds 1 but people
interpret much shit into them
>>125870118
so what weapon should I upgrade and use now?
>>125870263
But in 2's case it accurately describes their character with nothing more to gleam.
>>125870395
So lenigrast isn't a blacksmith?
You can look anything look stupid if you try hard enough
>>125869053
I summoned Solaire and it was all over in like 20 seconds you can summon Lautrec too if you free him then talk to him at the firelink shrine
>>125870283
read the items description
DS1's UI is atrocious and is really poor for comparing items
Do weapon arts seem useful? I didn't get to play the stress test.
>>125870860
yeah on my first play through I couldn't understand shit and had to search up everything. Damn the UI is trash but everything else in that game is amazing.
>>125871178
they're cool but they're kinda stupid also, the usual animu secret bloodline technique
When using bows (in DaS1) which attribute is most important?
>>125872150
DEX. Or STR & DEX if you're using the composite bow.
>>125872150
Is there really any reason to use a bow other than to lure enemies out?
>>125872227
I guess I should have clarified the attributes of the bow itself.
>>125872390
Playing a different way?
>>125872390
I did a bow-only run of DaS1 and it made bosses like artorias and kalameet easy as fuck
>>125872390
A good bowi.e. BBPmakes some of the more tedious enemies way easier to deal with. Even if they are toned down from their glory days in DeS, they're still really strong, and infinitely easier to use than throwing knives
>find a cool sword
>it always needs faith or intellect
Being quality is suffering
I want a maximum fun build for DaS2.
Suggestions?
I hope DS3 has a loliwitch like Beatrice was supposed to be.
>>125872390
The Composite Bow or Black Bow of Pharis do really great damage depending on the arrow and if you use Power Within.
>>125873221
maybe Miyazaki doesn't want to make his berserk rip offs that obvious
>>125861846
>plan on doing a faith paladin build eventually
>don't get around to it until after its nerfed into nothingness
T-thanks From
>>125873221
I just hope it actually has a witch, unlike DaS2. Also slutty witch robes
>>125855302
I haven't seen screen tearing that bad since the war.
>haven't played DaS in years
>had a handful of characters back then, two of which I finished the game with
>only got halfway through AotA (killed Artorias)
>load save
>my character is in full Havel's with a demon greataxe
Sickening. I might as well play through the entire game again at this point. Any ideas for afunbuild?
http://darksouls.wikidot.com/fireball
"The fire damage caused by fireballs makes

Undead, who by nature fear flame."
>undead fear flame
So whats the "2deep5me" lore behind the torch hollows and bonfires?
>>125873490
Why are witches so great?
>>125873896
Are Chaos Witches... witches?
>>125873969
>The Witch of Izalith
Yes they count.
>>125873887
controlled flame is considerably less scary than fireball thrown at you.
suggest a helm for this outfit, alonne looks a bit funky
>>125874142
Dragonrider
>>125873192
Powerstanced poison (resin) channeler tridents.
how retarded will it be if i make a witch build with a greatsword guys?
please give me approval here
>>125874025
So if I wanted to emulate a Chaos Witch, what would that build look like?
>>125872092
So are they basically something like special R2's of some weapons?
>Nito is the first of the dead
>he's made out of skeletons
>skeletons confirmed for alive
>>125869136
Wrathful Axe/Chariot Lance goes with the fashion, but you need a shield like Drakekeepers Shield to be gud.
>>125873184
>Get cool elemental sword
>Infuse it in favorite flavor
>Buff it with fancy spells
>Go to DS2 DLC
Uh huh.
>>125869136
BKGA
>>125874317
That's basically a MLGS build...
>>125874748
I was thinking crypt blacksword
>>125874195
Yeah, just powerstance some shit for fun
>Blue flames
>Smelter Swords
>Bone Fists
>Avelynn
>Sanctum Crossbows
>
>>125874805
That's viable as well. Look, honestly, armor doesn't matter as long as you don't get hit, especially in PVE. Fashion is the no.1 stat.
>Summon 3 nice sunbros for Throne Watcher/Defender
>Didn't read up beforehand
>Ending up in a continuous 3-parter
>TW/TD>Nashandra>Aldia
I-I feel kinda bad for these sunbros.
Anybody have a up to date weapon tier chart for DS1
>>125875715
I think this is it.
>>125874961
>fun
powerstancing is the meta and there is no fun in this
>Fluted Armor returns for DaS3
>Including the ugly Female version
>Your Soulfu will always look awful in Fluted armor
>>125874317
Sounds fine to me
>>125875780
>BSS top tier when it only does 600 BS damage
>>125874317
mlgs and dark magic on ds1 is always good
>>125875780
This really really needs to be reevaluated, god damn.
>>125875971
bs damage doesn't matter when you can always switch for chaos rapier.
>>125875780
>murakumo
>mlgs
>>125875780
Thanks ive seen this one but heard it had a lot of flaws does anybody know if there is a newer one?
>>125869053
Get a bow.
Composite bow from New Londo
or
Shortbow/longbow if you're dex
When the two shot up and gang up on you, bait them into fire breathing you. Then fire away at their heads.
>>125870263
yea but theres nothing much other than that about this npcs
>>125876117
So why even equip it if you don't use it?
>>125876168
Nah, I think that's the last version of it before DaS2 came out so everybody moved on to this and never updated the DaS1 chart.
>>125855302
how do i fucking open this shit theres no exe in the files
>>125876382
for moments when you dont intend to backstab obviously.
>>125876408
Speaking of which, this one really needs an update too.
>>125869272
>>125869364
What's wrong with Knight Shield other than weight?
I personally go with Wooden shield since it has nice stats and 1.5 weight. And at that point of the game reducing weight is my main concern so I can still fast roll.
>>125876408
Yeah I was hoping there was one like that. Thanks anyway
>>125876489
>not intending to backstab
that's retarded and you know it
>>125876524
The Knight Shield is quite possibly the worst 100% block shield in the game. It weighs too much and you can find like 5 other shields early on that are lighter than it and much more viable for general gameplay with about the same stability.
The Spider or Heater shields are mainly the ones I'm talking about, Spider has 100% poison block making it nigh-essential for Blighttown and the Heater shield weighs only 2 units.
>>125876668
well by that logic every weapon that's not chaos rapier, great club, demon great axe or dark silver tracer is shit tier.
>>125876816
Dark Silver Tracer is pretty shit for backstabs as a dex weapon compared to stuff like the Great Scythe desu
>>125876524
It's not a bad shield for early game but blocking isn't recommended for the gargoyles. Most of their attacks are fat enough to drain your stamina.
>>125876687
Not that guy, but I like how it looks.
>just discovered the fun and hilarity that is greatbows
holy shit this thing is great
>knocking every enemy on their ass and flinging them off ledges
>fling invaders into lava pits
>explore barrels near people causing them to take mega damage
I've been using a +15 large club and +5 occult great club on my str/faith build for a while (at 40/40, das1). Is there any other fun str weapons I should get/upgrade that aren't quite as slow?
>>125877134
Pre DLC greatbows used to be the best close range weapons in the game. Then they killed the tracking.
>>125877332
manserpent greatsword
>>125877332
DS1's Butcher knife has a really fun(ny) 1HR2 where you do a running chop. Other than that, it's actually quite a fast but big weapon.
>get into human form
>summon solaire
>still die at the gargoyles
why is this game so hard
>>125875780
add the claymore to top tier
>>125873630
>>125877540
uninstall the game, re play skyrim
All of the DLC areas are fisting my boyhole. Guess I'm shittier at this game than I thought.
Whats the average damage per hit on a longbow with wooden arrows at 40 dex?
>>125877856
>bandit
>>125878307
Literally what is wrong with Bandit
>>125869223
That's giant dad
>>125878085
DS1/DS2? For DS2 they added a lot of bullshit areas like areas with Nadalia's buffs, areas where you will be mobbed by 3~4 enemies, dick NPC Phantom(MAAAALLLLDROOOOON), DOSE FUCKING PORCUPINES ROLLIN' LIKE SANIC, etc.
If you're good, just run in and whack their butts. If you're not...cheese it.
