Aye Swimae, and good day to you.
Haven't played Dark Souls 2 in a while. Which has the most active PvP, the normal game or SotFS?
>>126454589
SOTFS - 2500 players~
Vanilla - 1000 players~
Both have fairly alive and active pvp hotspots though.
>Invades in Eleum Loyce.
>Prism Stones everywhere!
>Host gestures with wave
>Gesture back
>Host drops an item.
>Fully upgraded Monastery Scimitar.
>Never managed to get that to drop. Sweet!
>Proceed to fight.
>Host wrecks me.
>They send a message, "Merry Christmas Scrub."
>pvp with a scythe build
I honestly have no idea why I did this.
>>126454439
>Reimu edition
What about my waifu you slut?
>>126455938
>liking a bitch
>>126454439
Raime looks like complete shit.
Is there a Scholar item checklist anywhere? I'm a huge autist and like to hoard useless shit.
>>126455976
>Drunkard
>>126456001
Lunarians pls go
I'm bored but wanna dark souls, someone give me an activity to do in either of the games
invade, challenge build, cosplay, masturbation game, wahtever just give me something.
So what's the recommended way of save backuping encase of hacker fuckery?
>>126456464
Make a healer co-op build for Anor Londo with the Princess Guard miracles.
>>126456712
>Literally being a heal bitch
Absolutely disgusting.
>>126457472
Yeah, not doing healing
>>126456464
Mid level invader with full Darkwraith set.
>>126456712
Healers are completely useless in Dark Souls.
Estus exists. This is not a MMO.
>>126457550
What counts as mid-level?
>>126456712
I started on a faith/strength build a while back. My plan was to get to Anor Londo then hang around level 50 for a while, co-oping with people and bouncing between Sunbro and Princess Guard. I lost the save though and I can't really be assed to do it again anytime soon because
>I'm doing a strength build right now so it would pretty much be the same except with miracles
>Running down into the Tomb of Giants at a low level to rescue Rhea and get the Large Divine Ember is fucking hell, especially getting back out
Never got to Anor Londo but the build did make me wish Princess Guard also had golden phantoms. People co-op with Sunbros way more than whites.
>>126457648
Around 50-70 I guess. Enough to invade post Anor Londo.
>>126457472
Use Lifedrain Patch from DaS2 then!
Sexy as fuck.
Do I need to be in human form to be summoned? in DaS1
>>126458417
No.
>>126458506
Do Balder Leggings really give females a great ass?
times when poison mist is useful
list them
>>126456464
Use cheatengine to alter stats and invade low level players.
Use the channeler's trident to buff up already powerful enemies.
Use vow of silence as a white phantom to fuck up players with a magic build
Fuck with people as a white phantom in Sen's fortress. Make them fall off ledges and use poison mist to block their view. Block ladders.
Use poison knives on low level players to see them freak out because they dont have purple moss yet.
>>126459247
being a cunt in pvp
>>126458848
They're plain as shit. Even worse than the Hollow Loincloths.
>>126459247
Sens fortress.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-U5ayZBJeU
Some spells and pyromancies are just there to enjoy them in PvP.
Poison mist is great to obstruct the enemy's view, GOAT when he is walking in an area where it's easy to fall off, like in the Crystal Cave or Sen's
I bought the fragrant yore from the old hag.
Is it better idea to use it on the woman at the ever or the statue at the thinks betwix?
>>126459584
betwix statue is a waste of a branch.
what mods can i use for Scholar that won't get me banned?
Bandit is best for all physical, right?
>>126460523
none
>place summon sign near the closest bonfire to nito
>get close to the white light to go fight him
>"Your summon sign disappeared"
Does it do this intentionally that it removes your summon sign if you go to fight the area boss?
>>126458848
I haven't looked into the BACKSTORY of DaS but for DaS2, it seems like Loyce Leggings gives the best BACKSTORY.
Deepest Lore.
>>126460530
Yes, it's best for stupid builds that only need 1 int.
>>126460935
>fighting the boss, a sliver left
>suddenly, you're being summoned
gee, i wonder
>"Ha-ha, yeah, For You!"
What did he mean by this?
>Watching random streamer with 10 viewers
>Struggling to kill Belfry Gargoyles
>Call him out on being the scrub he is
>Get banned
>Cassieyxa
>>126463676
the bellkeeper seal i assume. was it after you said yes to entering the covenant?
>>126463720
>watching twitch
>bringing that shit back here
do that for a competitive game
im about to start ds2, anything i should know?
>about to kill off shithead bellfag
>2 other magic spamming shitbags invade right after to save him
literally why is it allowed in Ds2 to get ganked by INVADERS
Can you only leave your summon sign at one location? Like if I leave it at the bonfire near O&S can I also leave it at the bonfire near Nito?
There was one cheat table for Dark Souls that had this awesome modifier that upped item discovery to the point where enemies would drop everything in their loot table on a kill, is there anything like that in any DS2 cheat tables?
>>126463676
It means you're a big bell keeper
>>126464085
Don't ring that bell. I'm coming for you.
>>126464168
when you place a new sign your old sign disappears. if you venture into boss areas your sign will also disappear
>Tries to heal during the 1st part of the Burnt Ivory King
>White knights ain't helping me
>I die
ffs
what's the cheesiest build to complete ds2?
asking for a dsp-tier friend
>>126464328
You can still be invaded AFTER ringing the bell retard
>>126464467
Hexes or lightning spear chucker.
>>126464398
Ah well that kind of sucks. I'm playing on PS3 and there's not that many people, would've liked to just leave my summon sign at every boss bonfire to increase my chances of being summoned.
>>126464465
>be summoned to ivory king
>just start rolling/trying to block the guy into IK attacks
almost as good as a bell bonging
>>126461463
Looks kinda flat, so is the "Female" option in DaS2 actually a tranny?
>Flat ass
>Broad shoulders
>Cocaine face
>>126464516
I don't think magic is cheesy nowadays. Seemed to have been nerfed bad. Especially on the DLC bosses.
So I just rang the bell at the church then I killed pinwheelFucking wheel skellieswhere de fug am I supposed to go now, this map is confusing as heck?
What's a good mid-weight sword'n'board combo for Dark Souls 2?
>>126465921
sun sord
kings shield
Anyone got the "roll your build" image?
Recently bought Scholar for like £3 on PC so need a build to start off
>>126465745
did you pay attention to the crestfallen warrior in firelink shrine? the second bell of awakening is in blighttown
>>126466018
That's exactly what I had when I first played DS2, I just completely forgot. Cheers man, shame it's a pretty decent grind to get those considering I started all over.
Any decent 1h sword pick-ups for a first playthrough?
>>126465745
There's two ways to go in this game
>Keep exploring all paths until you exhaust all of them
>Google a guide.
>>126464475
Yeah and that's because you rung the fucking bell
>>126466325
Any specific type of sword (straight, curved, thrusting, katana, gs, ugs) all weapons except for bows can be 1-handed with the right stats
>>126466156
This one?
>>126466156
FUCKING SHOCKWAVES
>>126466878
Yeah, thanks
Rollingotn
Who ultimately had the better area, Forest Gankers or Bellbongers?
>>126466878
röll
What is the comfiest place in the entire souls universe?
>"Raulmond, knight of Drangleic, served the king by guarding the fort until his own demise, and was said to have cherished this ring throughout his life of service."
>"A twinblade fashioned from rare geisteel. Designed for high-ranking Drangleic knights, hence the decorative design. Geisteel equipment is of the finest make, but geisteel is so rare that very few of these weapons were actually used in combat."
Is this decent enough for a pseudo-cosplay character?
>>126467157
Hugging Priscilla probably
>>126467179
Its kinda gay, nigga
>>126467157
well in the painted world.
>>126466960
I preferred the woods.
Luna feels too cramped and the roof fuckery on Sol is retarded.
>>126467157
Snuggled in between Gwynevere's tits.
>>126467278
How do I fix it then?
>>126467372
what is that attempt at background even supposed to be used for I just dont see the purpose
>>126461463
>>126466325
longsword there is also a fire version early in the game to find
short sword is fun breaks fast and quite challenging but you can easily finish the game with it used it for my bow/crossbow guy
heide sword when the luck is with
broadsword start weapon for knight
falchion can be bought from the smith
bastard sword is available after the last giant or by a lucky drop from soldiers
>>126466960
my vote goes for bellbros less gank squads and more comfy in iron keep
the woods are looking like shit
>>126467179
did he steal the helmet from Drummond?
besides that you talk more about the twinblade then your character
>>126466156
There's an asshole with yellow skin in undead burg that backstabs just like that and has infinite health
>>126467157
dark souls main menu
>>126467451
What? I'm just trying to build characters around items descriptions. Was curious whether there is more of drangleic-related stuff.
>>126467493
>did he steal the helmet from Drummond?
I dunno, are there better alternatives?
>>126467493
Absolutely hated Sol, and I never got any PvP action there. Ever, at Luna saw action. I'd take Forest Gankers over Bellbongers because being in the Forest covenant also gave you access to a vendor, and made the clan not hostile. Being in bellbongers just gave you chunks
>>126466330
>>Google a guide
nononnoonononononononono never use a guide on the first playthrough.
>>126465745
explore, always exhaust npc dialogues and read item descriptions, especially of keys, they basically tell you where to go next
and for the love of god, kill the fucking dogs first
>>126468221
>only reliable source of chunks
>just gave you chunks
>>126467321
I never got this, literally all of the inhabitants try to murder you. I don't think there's a single NPC that talks to you other than Priscella.
How the fuck are they kind you scythe wielding fuck
>>126468623
Chunks aren't that hard to get and you don't need as many of them, maybe if it was Twinkling I'd like bellbongers more.
>>126463720
you sure are making a big deal out of nothing

>>126470187

Every time I start Ds1 on pc it goes through the installer like im playing the game for the first time, and it keeps starting on offline mode even though Im connected to the internet.
How do I fix it?

Beware, you can play a steam game on another account without rebuying it, through a system called family sharing.
I use this in Dark Souls 1 so i can name myself whatever i want to show up in PvP
He could be using that
wishlist for ds3
>giving more than offering at once at covenants
>covenants giving incentives, not only to reach +3 but also to stay there and not being farmfests
>blunt polearms
>poise not being broken
Whats a good "barbarian" helmet in DaS2? Vandit looks silly, and Brigand isn't menacing. I've been using Cr8's face mask
>>126473810
Varangian Helm?
>>126460935
No, the world is split into areas and if you leave an area your sign disappears, in ds1 it's just totally random and not set up very welldark souls 2 multiplayer is A lot easier to work with
What is it about the PvP in these games that keeps you people playing for so long?
>>126474304
It's like a 3d fightan but not shit
>>126474304
I don't do that much PvP myself, but I'd imagine people play it because there isn't anything else like it out there.
>>126473705
I like poise, but I agree with the others. I will add:
>flails as weapons
>proper shield holding (arm strapped in, not holding onto a handle)
>all straight swords having a moveset with a stab ability
Reminder that the story of Dark Souls is actually about white privilige.
>>126473705
>not having to press A 20 times in order to level up
Is there any reason to invade people with using Eyes of Death instead of just farming them from Basilisks?
Are they gonna make it that weight determines rolls in Dark Souls 3 instead of some stupid agility stat?
>>126474842
They said agility is gone
>>126474575
>Reminder that the story of Dark Souls is actually about beef jerky privilege.

Solaire represents the black lives matter movement. It's up to you and your humanity to save him before he goes mad thanks to a parasite (aka non-queergender white people)
>>126473705
-New weapon types like murkrets or a medievil bazooka and you can take cover for things that are shoot back at you
-Parts where you have to run away from a huge enemy and the huge boss chases you to a turrent and you use it to kill him
-Other parts where you can use turrents on loads of people or even a catapult
-You can see how many kills and deaths you have in pvp and the more kills you get unlock extra abilities for you and new skins for your weapons and armour
-Free running and climbing up on sthings
-You have an npc partner and he is an ethnic and he makes jokes and he gives you estius flasks and stuff when your in trouble
-If you get backstabbed or parryed you can press a button at the right moment and you do a counter
-Bosses arent just running around hitting them you have yo use the enviroment and you press buttons at the right time and it does damage
-Vehicle sections like on a horse and cart or a boat or like a stone age motorbike and gliders
-When someone invades it asks you if it’s ok and if you press no then they are sent away
-You can go into peoples houses and talk to them
-If you get hit then dont get hit for a while your health comes back
-You can have a romance with someone and even it can be a man if you are a gay
-Better support after release like a better arena and then they can release map packs for it and new weapons and amrour
-Moderators chosen from popular members of the community, they will monitor for poor sportsmanship and ban those they feel are a negative influence on the metagame
-Some people need you to get things so you can go get them and bring them back and they give you souls for it
-You can get a pet and it follows you around and goes off and comes back with items
>>126475065
This
>>126475065
-Longer, more cinematic cutscenes..
-Moral choice system; ‘good’ and ‘evil’ conversation options with NPCs etc.
-Objective markers; Crestbro told you to ring the bells? Follow the arrow and never feel lost!
-Minigames. Dance with Siegmeyer to learn new taunts.
-In-game store. You can buy souls, weapons and armour. The best armour is only available in the store, because only the true fans who are willing to support From Software deserve it.
-Super Guide. If you die more than 3 times in an area, you are given the option for the computer to control your character and get your through the area.
>>126470556
Fuck AI invades with their immunity to poison and their infinite stam.
Was Dark Souls 2 more difficult than Dark Souls 1?
>>126475224
>with their immunity to poison
Eh? I'm pretty sure I cheesed some with poison knives to the face on SotFS.
>>126475065
This sounds amazing, let's call it "Dark Souls Infinite: The Reckoning"
>>126475302
I'd say yes, but often not in a good way.
>>126475302
only because it felt like a chore to control your character and enemies do this thing where they stagger their attacks for 10 years so you can dodge on reaction. Making the pacing just not every enjoyable.
>>126473705
>Great Hammers and UGS being much more better

Hope they fix poise in Dark Souls 3
I got hilt parried on my first attack at the dude
>>126476945
>waaah i can't poise stab people to death waaah
If I join the darkmoon covenant and I'm a low level could I feasibly invade low level players in low level areas provided they killed any npc?
>>126477237
Not the guy, but all players having x3 poise damage is definitely not okay.
>>126477509
No tank builds should be scared to trade hits in case they get stunlocked by a fucking toothpick.
>tfw you will never know what estus tastes like

I say it's yukaslegion

if you count in vg's part in it Lucifer takes the cake
I just want some Greataxes that are great is all, DaS2's greataxes were shitaxes.
Can I invade anyone as a sl6 darkmoon?
>>126478604
controller. I actually asked my gf for a ps4 controller for Christmas just so I could play souls
>>126478604
Controller by fareven if i never use it
>>126479075
ps4 controller actually works for ds1/2?
So where do I stick my summon sign at 1m SM? Got the Agape Ring on, just looking for Sunlight Medals to bling up my paladin cosplay. Getting a bit of action at the Mirror Knight but wonder if there's anywhere else I could go.
>>126479048
no, it has an upward limit. around sl50-60 is the best, if im not mistaken you can invade 5-75
>like ds1, beat it several times

what wil happen if i use the coffing ot change sex? i just dropped the desert sorcerer armor, also would i get the beard back if i turn man again?
>>126466878
oh im in i needed a new char going anyway
So since miracles are nerfed to hell in ds2, How viable are they in ds1?
Only played the second game and thinking of trying out the first on a str/fai build.
Is sacred oath worth the 4 att slots?
>>126479694
Offensive miracles and buffs are the only worthy miracles
my brother is in the spooky zone in dark souls what i should do?
>>126479825
Yeah. And they are nerfed in ds2
How are they in 1?
>>126479048
Does killing an NPC count as a sin? Perhaps you could invade NPC killers.
>>126479484
answer pls
>>126480003
yeah, but 6 leaves such a little range, since darkmoons don't invade like wraiths
>>126479048
level to like 50-60
>>126478604it's personal preference
>friend wants to play DaS2 together
>buy it
>he's away for Christmas, so I played by myself for now
>hang around the first bosses and help people beat them
>after 9 hours of playing learn about Soul Memory
>I'm at tier 14 and won't be able to play with my friend
>I've been screwing around with souls, so I'll be undergeared by the time I hit SL 100
Who the fuck designed this mechanic?
My fondest memories of DaS1 consist of sunbroing around Anor Londo for hours on end.
>Dark Souls 3 probably won't have Bell covenant again
>you and your friend will never spam ring the bell as the other blocks the door way with a shield as shiters don't guard break again
>>126479694
Miracles are pretty mediocre in das, not as many utility miracles that aren't healing you can't get any faith based weapon buffs until around 50% through with the game and they only have 1 charge. Your main use of miracles would be Lightning/Great Lightning Spear, Force/Emit Force, and WoTGs, and maybe healing miracles but a quick trip to pinwheel's asshole gives lets you get 20 estus charges for humanity.
Karmatic Justice is rather mediocre because it requires you to be hit 5 times in a short time, and most enemies in PVE will bounce off a shield and the hit timer will reset. Not sure if Vow of Silence/Tranq peace walk affects most PvE enemies.
Gravelord dance is special because you can use a Velka Talisman and build int with magic weapon, and spooky skeleton a bess.

>>126481263
demon firesage is weak to fire
>>126481037
>>126481337
demon firesage has 203.06 fire defense and 165.88 lightning defense
what's probably happening is your unsplit fire damage is outdoing you split physical/lightning damage despite the higher defenses because of the way damage calculation works

Why?
steam sale
>>126478304
probably like a spicy lager or whiskey with a smokey taste since I guess it's liquid bonfire, firekeeper soul and a hint of humanity.
DS1 question from a steam sale babby:
I rang the bell in the Undead Parish and I'm having trouble with the Capra Demon in Undead Burg so I decided I'd kick back and grind something, since I'm only at level 9 yet.
The 'best' spot for souls I found is in the upper Burg bonfire, just killing the 6-9 hollows on the way to the Taurus Demon, for about 2,5k souls every 5 minutes. Is there a more efficient run I can do that's similarly difficult?
And, regarding Humanity: I've got 4 Cracked Red Eye Orbs and I understand you use those to invade other players and kill them for Humanity - is there any other way to get/farm Humanity, or more Red Eye Orbs, at this stage in the game?
About to head into Sen's. My current build uses claymore, grass crest, dingy set, and a talisman fit lightning and healing. What level should I go to? What should I level up for this kind of character? I'd there a better alternative to the claymore in its weapon group, or is there something else I should be using for long stabs and a few big swings? Thanks for any input.
>>126482830
level up vit and you can't lose
>>126464082
So I know this is a late reply, but here's what I've got.
Poise is very different from Das1. It's basically an invisible bar kind of like your health that gets drained when you're hit. BUT, unlike health, it regenerates (so it's more like your stamina bar).
I know for a fact that ultra greatswords give you hyper armor during your two-handed attack animation. Hyperarmor is a "buff" where all poise damage that you receive is halved, so there's less of a chance that you'll be interrupted during your attack animations.
Agility determines how long your invincibility frames last you. So unlike DaS1, where equip load was the end all be all, it's your agility that will give you more I-frames in DaS2. Not to completely dismiss equip load, it's still important to take note of what percentage you're currently at.
That's all I got for right now. Hope that helps.
>>126482830
claymore's the best
So I guess Demon's Souls bosses aren't really hard are they, but fuck if they aren't cool.
Storm King was such a cool experience.
>>126482830
First time playing? Damn son you're cool. Get the fuck outta here.
>>126482830
Claymore is fine you'll just have to get used to how its slower and has less reach than you'd expect. For your first playthrough you might want to go up to 30-40, if you're comfortable with evading enemy attacks put that into str or dex if you want to keep using the claymore or have your eye on trying a different weapon, if you plan to enchant it anyways your end looks a little low.
>>126482830
>>126483250
protip though; upgrading weapons increases their damage much more than their level scaling
any tips for centipede? just upgrade my lightning battle axe to +5? or should just try to bleed him? thinking about going full havels+iron flesh and r1 spamming to bleed him or kill the giant blacksmith for his hammer
>>126482830
clay’s fine, you might want to look into the halberd, there is one outside the church in case you missed it.
>>126482768
if you want it for lower difficulty, kill taurus and go under the bridge, kick down the ladder. you can just show your face on the bridge then and the drake will murder the hollows up there for 555 souls. then just head back to the fire. but seriously, simply progressing through the levels gives you enough souls.
fuck shrine of amana
fuck sorcerers
So I wasted both Transient Curses by falling off and drowning while trying to explore, am I fucked and need to go get cursed by a Basilisk if I wanna make it through? I've tried running through before but the amount of ghosts and the fact they ignore armor/shields seems to make it crazy difficult.

> Chaos weapons lose scaling with stats but the additional fire damage will increase the Bleed build-up, along with further increase on the amount of humanities possessed.
so, the more fire damage the more bleed buildup? and that counts as well for the fire from humanities? because iirc, i tested with a friend and a +15 great scythe had the same buildup as a +5 chaos
>>126486632
>> Chaos weapons lose scaling with stats but the additional fire damage will increase the Bleed build-up
where did you read this bullshit?
>>126486632
Never heard of bleed scaling, it should be a static value.
How many extra points of faith does the Thorolund Talisman add? Or is that not how it works.
Any fags wanna pvp in DaS on PS3?
Undead Burg. First Bonfire. SL 109 (Trying to get 120 soon)
>>126486632
Bleed buildup has no scaling, and it certainly doesn't benefit from the elemental upgrade paths
>>126486963
That's not how it works, it's basically the faith equivalent of the Oolacile ivory catalyst: you get a flat magic adjust with it regardless of your faith stat, so it's basically the best talisman for characters with faith under 25 or so

Not so.
You see, the Shield arm is going to be the one bearing the brunt of blows. It needs that extra layer from the gauntlet to help avoid injuries (shield banging onto your arm, shield getting pierced, whatever).
While the sword arm needs the extra mobility afforded by a leather gauntlet, or perhaps some light chainmail, since you're not a fencer - you're not going to be parading that arm around, you're only going to poke it out for a strike then resume a shield stance.
This holds true both in real-life swordsmanship and in DaS.

Is there any tip or hint to anything as to where Artorias may be? I know I need to go fight Sif but I was wondering how the hell I would figure it out if I didn't have a guide or something.
Also I really wish this game would have NPCs repeat their "here's the only sense of direction you'll get from me." lines, because a lot of them seem to only state it once so if you missed it or forgot then you're kind of fucked.
>>126494095
Nope
Artorias of the Abyss has probably the single most obscure DLC access point of any game
>>126494095
You mean the DLC? Go tot he lake, kill the hydra, reload the area, go behind the hydra, kill the gold golem, talk to princess, go to Seath's, kill the gold golem in the antechamber, go back to the princess, interact with the rift in the cave.
>>126494173
>>126494248I actually meant "how are you supposed to figure it out" after Ingward tells you to go find Artorias to find out how he survived the Abyss, and that I know you're supposed to go to his grave in darkroot and fight Sif but I don't know how you were supposed to figure that out.

>>126505280
also if i am sorcerer, should i bother getting access to pyromancies?
>>126505280
Yeah it's worth it. Longsword has a nice moveset and the fire infusion scales off your INT+FTH stats. So as you invest stats into INT, that fire longsword becomes more powerful.
Magic infusion is more powerful (it scales off pure INT) but it will be quite some time before you can acquire faintstone, aside from lucky drops at the birds.
>>126505482
You can consider pyromancy as your backup spec. As you raise your INT, both your magic bonus and fire bonus will go up.
>>126505701
ok cool thanks friend
What is that hex that Navlaan uses that sends out a big dark circle and then there are a bunch of what look like grayish purple flames come at you? It's like Pursuers from hell.
Wait, so you can only be invaded in darkroot garden by forest hunters if you're human AND you haven't kill Sif? That seems kind of lame, I mean surely there's not gonna be that many people around with those conditions who are also milling about darkroot for some reason instead of just going straight for Sif.

>>126506708
>>126507030
I think enchanted is the superior route because you deal physical damage scaling off your INT, and many bosses and enemies later in the game, especially in the dlc's, have high resistances. Enchanted allows you to play sorcerer "correctly," where you throw all bolt spells into the garbage and become a dickass tricksy hybrid.
When should I do the Dark Souls 2 DLC? I went to the Crown of the Sunken King place and I'm getting my shit wrecked in here. I don't know why this stupid fucking game has to give you like 5 enemies to fight at once all the fucking time.
>>126507512
that's a nice opinion you've got there m8
there are reasons that people like Godzilla, and Anno is typically not the kind of person to execute those reasons particularly well
>>126508152
Towards the end of the game is where I sidetrack and do the dlc.
>>126508118
Maybe, but the problem is that enchanted's scaling is really shitty compared to magic or uninfused. Plus, Magic benefits from sorcery clutch and magic weapon buffs. I doubt enchanted is high enough to offset the resistances of the DLC content but I never really checked.

here's what you do
when you get to the doorway, run through it, aim a roll to the right, and run up the stairs
bam
>>126508389
The scaling is misleading. Its INT scaling is not really shitty in comparison, only a step down from magic infusion. That it lowers STR & DEX scaling to E is actually good, because your weapon damage is no longer tied to those stats and you can stay with minimum requirements to wield a weapon. Enchanted weapons bypass 100% of the resistances obviously, and the difference is significant.
>>126509467

load the are up and just TRY to run through it

it doesnt fucking matter, the two of them is guranteed damage even if i pull them to the prior room, i just try to make it my goal to only use 1 estus to clear them
they didnt even fucking spawn this time??
is the game literally enabling babby mode for me?
>>126508152
with fully upgraded weapons and max estus charges +5 ofc.
>>126509727
try getting gud
>>126509936
if you kill something 17 (I think) times in DS2 it stops spawning
so yeah, pretty much
is this the perfect game for one-upmanship?

here's my challenge

fists only
no spells
no items
no healing
no bonfires
no equipment (except rings when needed)
you can't take damage (even fall damage)(blighttown poison is ok though)
continue through NG+7

until you do this you are worthless and bad at games

Well like I said, I've never really tested it. I don't really want to spend a faintstone checking it out because the AR values don't look convincing at McDuff's preview page.

>>126509727
I remember just running like sanic through the bombed wall shortcut, and past the courtyard with the explody crates. The enemies there are slower and don't chase as far.
>>126510308
Some people are trying to have fun with the game, you know.
Is there any point in playing SotFS if I'm going to be offline or should I just pirate the DLC?
I already own DaS2 and stopped near the Dragon Aerie.
>>126510821
>Dragon Aerie.
SotFS allows you to skip the entire area.
>>126510821
I mean I own DaS2 but not the DLC. I'll either pirate DaS2 with the DLC or just pirate SotFS. What would be better?
If it mattesr I'll run a hex build with longswords of each element plus raw as melee
guys did i git gudmy desk is still broken either way
>>126510974
No. Git gud only applies to melee, casting will always be scrub tier.
>>126510974
Well, you're still a sorcerer, but it's better than raging on 2 spear guys so I wish you luck.
>>126510974
Listen up motherfucker. Here's the quick and easy guide to use spellcasters:
Start as your sorcerer, go to merchant in the second bonfire of the forest, get the second casting of soul arrow.
From the bonfire, go down, otuside and around to where the barrels explode/where the shortcut is. Go right, drop down, into the area with the balistas and get the great soul arrow.
Kill giant and pursuer.
Go back to fucking Majula, go to Heide's Tower of Flame (through the building on the far upper right side). Go kill dragonrider. If stuck: kill all the stone solderies, don't care about easting spells. Pull both switches that pop up. One is at the second sword/shield guy and the third is in the room with the three giant stone soldiers. (pro tip, kill the sword one first with soul arrows).
Summon Glencour outside the fog, proceed to stand back and let him kill the boss. Run upstairs, talk to the chick over and over (use the talk command). Then bonfire warp back to Majula. Also use the talk command over and over on Melentia in the forest to get her to move to Majula.
Go through the same passage and talk to the chick again, ask for the miracle/pray to move it. Go through te new area. Make sure your faith is at least 10., Go buy dark orb from the guy sitting down.
Equip dark orb, soul arrow (x2) and great souls arrow.
Conrgats, you're now able to wtfpwn any PVE enemy.

Yep it's weaker for much of the game but doesn't suffer the same drop-off, I think. Actually I don't know what's better for pvp, most people don't seem to have high magic resistance.

What's a fun way to replay Dark Souls 1? I'm fucking sick of Dark Souls 2 and need to get the bad taste of that shit game out of my mouth.
>>126512383
Yes. Sort of. In Heide's Tower, there are white human sizered enemies sitting down mostly. Kill them until they stop appearing. Once you kill dragon rider, they will aggro and they will completely destroy you. I'd possibly advise killing the stone soldiers also until they stop respawning if you have trouble.
In fact, killing things till they stop responding when you rest at a bonfire is probably the easiest, but msot tedious way in the game.
Also the Merchant Hag Melentia once she moves to Majula, sells infinite life gems. So you have almost infinite recovery per rest (can hold a stack of 99 at once)
>>126512784
>Also the Merchant Hag Melentia once she moves to Majula, sells infinite life gems. So you have almost infinite recovery per rest (can hold a stack of 99 at once)
I hate this about DS2. At least in DS1 a new player isn't going to want to use precious humanity for kindling and healing (as opposed to summoning dudes and then dying at the boss) and the rite won't be found until after, possibly well after, Anor Londo.
is level 52 too much for lost bastille?
>>126513136
actually a bit low according to FROM
55-65 is what you're "supposed" to be at
Just finished SOTFS at 550k SM, now time to invade!
The thing is I'm not sure where normies are at my SM? Any advice appreciated.

Oh so thats what it was for, didn't know that. Thanks!
Which community is more active for DS1: PC or PS3? I'm planning on picking the game up, either on the steam sale or a boxing day.sale.
>>126512715
What builds have you already done? I'm planning on doing a str/dex/faith build for my next playthrough and grabbing ornstein's armor and maxing out his spear, although you could do the same for Solaire's armor and weapon.
Or pryomancy + katanas/chaos blade might be fun.
>>126513601
I'm playing on ps3 right now and it's pretty ded, I'm >>126511772
I'd recommend PC anyway because holy shit does this game framedrop like a turd on PS3.
>>126513385
You can get the Staff of wisdom (best pure sorcery staff) relatively early in SotFS at the brightstone cove campsite now. But I still recommend putting in 20 faith/int because you get the Hexer Hood as well. Just use a soul vessel after collecting your free bling.
>>126513637
I've only played the game once and I used a katana
>>126513385
It depends. Technically speaking, that staff is the best staff for hexes.
The soft cap is 30/30 in int and faith.
Here's how scaling works:
magic gets increased by int
Lightning increased by faith
fire = faith + int
Dark = fire + int but the small of the two = the dark bonus damage (so 90 int and 20 faith isn't good but 30/30 would be).
You should get 22 faith for the staff, yes.
Talk to the man again when you have 20 in both stats to get his outfit, the hood gives you 10% extra spell amounts.
All in all, hexing is pretty fucking amazing for the base spells. Get dark weapon also.
It's a nice buff for weapons in melee.
Some more advice: the area with the girl on top of the roof after dragonrider: go through that area and reach NoMan's Wharf. Proceed through it (it's annoying - always retreat and cast spells). When you get to the pier with the ship, don't run to it, go right (so the stairs you camew down are behind you) and along there, explore and find a man sitting down - talk to him again using the command till he repeats then he'll move to majula. He sells socereies.
Also the area after the man sitting down (Huntsman's Copse) has two bosses - one is through an enclosed area and another is over a bridge that is lowered by a level. The enclosed area is optional and is pretty fucking annoying for a new player.
>>126513714
Can't you just kill hima nd buy it from the hag?
>>126511331
but summons are ezier mode
>>126513809
That would be the staff he already recieved. Not the staff of Wisdom
>>126513360
At 550k SM, since you invade higher, they should be spread along Earthen Peak/Iron Keep, Shaded Ruins/Brightstone Cove, Gutter/Black Gulch and the first half of Drangleic Castle (maybe the second, but I think you're gonna get less).
Anybody on PC in the 500k-1m summon range (Or 350k-1.3m with the name ring) got a covetous gold serpent ring +2 or +1 they don't want?
I'm trying to farm titanite shit without progressing because I'm co-oping the game with a friend, but I play a lot more than him. Wouldn't mind a ring to help with drop rates.
>>126513803
>he hood gives you 10% extra spell amounts.
No, it gives you 1 extra cast for each spell. This means that even powerful spells with 1 cast gets increased to 2.
>>126514168
It's +10% rounded up according to the wikidot and the fextralife.
>>126514168
It's 10 rounded up. Try it wlth soul arrow and soul spear, for example

The area designs are very good but they're littered with too many generic enemies because hurr durr dark souls is hard. It's really unfair and not fun at all.

Have you tried agroing/pulling enemies rather than running into everything trying to facefuck it to death.

No idea what you mean
>Brume tower room with 4 knights and a headless guy
You can drop down climb back up and the big guy will kill himself + 1 or more of the knights by spitting lava on the barrelguys that fall down, you can also get rid of the archer before falling down
>maldron
You can run past him, clear the area and then deal with him, "muh curse" isn't an argument either because the same DLC has a helmet that gives +1000 curse resist, and you can buy the cursebite ring from whatshisface at iron keep.
But who bothers to think ahead and plan, the true souls experience is running face first into everything, getting killed then complaining how the game is unfair.
It's so easy to level up in DaS2 compared to DaS and Bloodborne. Should I be around level 50 in the Black Gulch? Just got this game for christmas
>>126518787
Yeah, sure they're all doable, but it's still shit game design. Everything is about MOAR ENEMIES and it's just lazy and not fun to play.
And yes, I play carefully and don't YOLO into every single room, but DLC areas have shit bits that everyone has trouble with every singe time, you can't just git gud. Take frigid outskirts for example - infinite rape horses. What the fuck?
>>126518924
Levels are not nearly as important in 2 as they were in 1, and you can do the 4 great souls in any order so it's kinda hard to say.
>>126519072
>everyone has trouble with every singe time, you can't just git gud
Speak for yourself
All of the more bullshit rooms in all the DLCs have ways built into them to deal with them, you just need to not be retarded. Rape horse valley isn't anything special either, especially if you just summon vengarl for it.
What is actually shitty game design is a strong enemy who can't do anything to you if you have your shield up and you spend an hour cirlestrafing parrying him to chew through his absurdly huge hp pool.
>>126519072
dude enemies lmao
>>126519081
Ah I see. I know all about soul memory so this might be a moot question but what would you place the average soul level for beating the game?
>>126519197
Hugely depends on if you do the DLC or not, if you do then its normally between 150-200 on your first character
>>126518579
>like 6 minutes to get to gwyn

>>126519247
I am planning on it. Thanks for the advice
>>126519197
I would say that if you venture to complete the DLC and go for all the bosses, around 175. Otherwise it will be a good bit lower.
>>126519325
I'm just going to point this out that the game doesn't start NG+ when you beat the last boss, you have to sit down at the majula bonfire and choose a menu option to do it, so don't be scared of accidentally ending the game and missing stuff.
>>126519259
Just wear Havel armor and tank his shit. One of the easiest bosses in the game, like 4 kings.

Technically no, you can 2 of the 3 DLC areas before getting the 4 great souls
You have to get the 4 great souls/1mil SL to pass Shrine of Winter and eventually to the last key. That being said the DLCs were designed for lategame characters, I would personally recommend playing the base game up until the Ashen mist heart/aged feather before trying the DLCs.
No shame in looking where to get the DLC keys if you haven't found all 3 by that point, 1 is fairly obtuse, 1 is in an annoying as shit area and 1 is right on your path.
>>126510308

Speak for yourself. I had much more fun playing DaS2 multiple times than DaS even once.
All you do in 1 is stack poise, then circle strafe until you get the backstab. It's mindnumbingly boring.
And Miyazaki seems to agree since both BB and DaS3 are all about ganks.

You don't need to buff for Gwyn if you have a fully upgraded weapon.
Playing through dark souls. Do you think it is a good idea to start as a knight and rush for 25 or so endurance asap to mid roll in the suit? How important is poise in pve?
>>126520346
Its less important than pvp breakpoints. Shit poise and a wolf ring should be more than sufficient for most mobs. Take more if you want to cheese ng bosses, but that shit doesnt work in the latwr ng+'s
>>126520346
Start as a Knight, and replace parts with light armor to get mid roll. Wanderers boots/gauntlets look nice and weigh almost nothing.
I don't like upgrading END too much because it's too good, too useful and sort of breaks the game. I really hate the idea of sauron armored guys fast rolling at high levels.
>>126520346
If you're going for pure melee, you take the stats you want and find the class that has the most in those stats at the lowest level.
Midrolling is garbage for PvE, you either want to fastroll in light armor or tank shit in super-heavy armor at 40 END, or do both at like 65 END (stamina gains drop FAST after 40 END).
Poise is everything unless you want to challenge yourself to an all dodge run.
How do you do a proper STR build in Dark 1?
Is there any weapons worth making Enchanted in DS2? This infusion seems completely pointless.
>>126520484
40 str for the soft cap. Any higher is for 1 handing your prefered weapon, if its higher str requirement. Going any higher in str is more ineffiecient conpared to more vit and end investment
>>126520484
Get 27 STR and two-hand anything but Demon's Great Hammer, Demon's Greataxe, Stone Greataxe, Dragon Greatsword, Dragon King Greataxe, Grant, Havel's Greatshield, or Smough's Hammer.
The fuck? I just did a bell pvp and got a twinkletit instead of a chunk

Remind me again why does 4skins have to exist.
I wan to us a fire enchanted flamberg. Is it worth increasing my str and dex past 16, 14?
>>126520501
Enchanted is the same as Magical, it exists to give damage options to builds with no STR/DEX, but doesn't make the weapon deal magical damage, just scale with INT.
Beats me why magical is the only one with a sidegrade like that, dark/faith/pyromancy get nothing
>>126520706
If he wants to use them, fine on him, but the scaling stops at 40 (which is 27 when two-handing).
>>126520769
At least it fucks with you perspective a little and is a kind of interesting.
I was all kinds of fucked up my first playthrough because I kept wiffing on them thinking they were right in front of me.
>>126520501
At 50+ enchanted, some daggers recieve a better bonus than raw. The mlgs also converts 1/1 from magic to physical when enchanted, and gets a 90% (or higher) physical resist, making it a decent shield too.
What is the most aesthetic physique? Bulky for cloths, skinny for heavy armors?
>>126520910
Probably slim, because the clipping can get bad at anything higher
>>126519738
if you're still here, i'll help

You mean INT, while FAI just gets lightning.
>>126520769
So you can pretend to be retarded on anonymous image board.
>>126520769
DPS check. If you can't tank them, you either can't give enough damage, or can't take enough damage.
>>126520501
If you enchant the MLGS, it gives 100% physical damage, downgrading the scaling from S to A. Might be useful for.....??? Surprising your enemy in PvP??
>>126454439

>>126521660
Do you have the name engraved ring?
>>126521572
Yeah, Dark hits hard due to very few armors hitting it, but most hexes are pretty one dimentional. Affinity, dark greatsword and scraps of life are probably the best ones movesetwise. The rest are slow, buffs or just reskins of dark orb.
Pyro and sorcery are both more deadly due to their diverse pool of effects and mixups.

Surprise living tree boss fight that happens while you're fighting a random group of hollows.
The first area reminds me too much of Hemwick from Bloodborne. I hope we get more medieval looking areas like Dark Souls 1.

He's already wearing full prisoner's and Watchdragon, wasting all that time doing Ascetic Gargyoles and possibly NG gargoyles too for an extra measly 25% item find when you could spend that time with the +1 ring that is unbelievably accessible :^)

The options are
1) You still haven't disabled the human effigy effect from killing rotten the last time
2) Ye be banned

You now realize that a giant is just a tree's way of making another tree.

Im pretty sure its +2 golden serpant ring and the jesters is optimal. They stack from everything i have read
>>126522379
>DS3 confirmed same universe as DS2
Why wouldn't it be?
Also DS2 lore was pretty good
hey guys, got my hand on a faint stone. i've got 30 on both my dex and int, should i put the stone in my Ricard's rapier or my sorcerer staff i got in the beginning?
>>126522380
>1: I lost effigy after killing him first time and moving on
Sit down at the bonfire
Check if the option to "disable human effigies effect" is there, if it is get rid of it that sit is automatic and the only way to lose it is to wait out the 30 mins
>>126522379
>>126522260
im just shitposting about enemies despawning and sm. but item discovery averages, it doesn’t stack according to some reddit autist who killed the same enemy 10k times with different itdisc gear. just use the CGSR+2 and no other.

>>126522559
Yeup that was me, have fun with your twink
>>126522349
>>126522420
There are conflicting reports about stacking and not stacking, based on the fact the post here http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/693332-dark-souls-ii/69883060 stating that jesters + ring is optimal used a sample size of 3 kills per test (which is fucking terrible), and DaS1 had stacking item find, I would believe they stack. Also, even if it doesn't make a difference wearing all item find gear, no harm done anyways.
>>126522529
I never understood the despawning enemies, but at least when in the company of champions they don't despawn but are harder to kill.
>>126522595
Godspeed you magnificent basterd
>>126522568
Ah, cool. Have fun. I'm taking a break from BB after playing the main game + DLC several times a couple weeks ago. Got it on release and played the shit out of it but it lacked a lot of replayability and variety. The DLC fixes most of that, though. I recommend getting it after you get 2/3 of the way into the game or so.

>>126522320
this is 1.36, no risk, minor fall damage
>>126522689
That is high levels of autism, jesus. Just from reading that however, the stone knights stopped dropping parts of their drop table. This would throw into question any results he found and indicate that the drop system is more complex than DaS1 was (increases in item find increases the chance of creature dropping an item at all vs not dropping a single item)
Are strategy guides a dying industry?
Back in the day, sure they worked out fine. But nowadays with patches on a monthly basis changing values and buffing and nerfing bosses and stuff, they really seem like artbooks with less art than an actual artbook.
>>126522794
Are you testing the drop vs the ladder?
>>126522843
i don't know about 2, but in 1 they could drop 2 items. the clams did that a lot, dropping both twinkling and purging stones and once i got a dark hand and a chunk from a wraith. it's just much rarer because if it's 5% rate for each item, it's a 0.25% for both
>>126522438
Kinda a waste to use it on your Sorcerer's staff since you can easily get staves superior and faintstone is hard to come by. Are you near brightstone cove yet? It's after door of pharros.
>>126522918
yeah, the thing i was talking about last night. i still prefer my route (the first one) especially if im summoned (darkwraiths aggroing on the first means they might hit the last guy) but the other one is better for rushing through alone or farming
>>126522908
>Back in the day, sure they worked out fine.
Back in my day we already had GameFaqs. The only strategy guide I saw which was more useful than those glorious autists was the Zelda Oracle games guide, for the full color full res maps which simply wasn't feasible to get over the internet in those days.
>>126523010
I was the person suggesting the drop. Thanks for testing this.
>>126523047
>Back in my day we already had GameFaqs.
And before anyone says underage b&, I'm 24. Time is moving faster than you think it is.
>>126522929
From what I understand about the DaS drop system is it's a 2 phase system.
If the creature drops and item it can technically drop every single item on its drop table at once. the CGSR in that game increases the chances of getting the creature to drop 1-whole drop table rather than not dropping anything
I made a paint diagram if it helps explain
>>126523057
i wanted to farm chunks anyway, it’s not like i got out of my way or anything b-baka
>>126523140
Where did all the time go?
How would you feel about the FromSoft B-team continuing to make Souls/Souls-like games after Miyazaki moves on to different projects? I personally would be in favor of it, especially considering the increase in quality for DaS2 that Scholar brought us.

>>126523521

>>126523275
I think if they keep working on their understanding of the basic formula and implementing it, I wouldn't mind.
>>126523345
The best sorcery staff is in another branch from Majula. In that same branch, you'll be able to find one faintstone as loot along the way, so you could use your current faintstone on Ricard's Rapier if you intend to commit to it for the rest of the game.
Faintstone is the rarest upgrade material, IMO.
I think the series would benefit from upgrades being replaced entirely with something similar to the blood gem fortification system from Bloodborne (though with a lot more different gems). The number of gems you could put on a weapon could maybe depend on your level or whether or not you've hit certain PvE milestones. That way you can have specialization in weaponry without forcing players to commit; somebody could use a ton of different weapons even up to the late game if they feel like it and not be punished by having to use weaker weapons.
This is some Super Mario shit
>>126523674
It's weird how the first areas in DaS1 have little visual variety and are all very drab and shitty-looking, but then you get places like Anor Londo and the Crystal Cave that are mind-blowingly gorgeous.

I like how level design is an inverse of appearance.

>a shithole for human peasants

Is it really thay strange?
Just started DaS2. The camera lock handles better on M/KB than in DaS1, and I can live with the input lag, but occasionally my character just doesn't attack when I press the attack button for whatever reason, usually with disastrous consequences. Am I doing something wrong?
>>126523896
Yeah, but you can make shitty squalor look good. Maybe the issue was more in having so many of those areas in a row, not being broken up by anything with a more varied color palette.
>>126523768
That contrast makes places like Anor Londo look even flashier though
>>126523930
>and I can live with the input lag
Esc
Key bindings
Disable double clicking
Set it to on
Backstpace Backspace, if it asks for confirmation it means you did it right, say yes play the game (it defaults back to on while saying its off every time you reboot the game, so go into the options switch it from off to on then backstpacebackspace, basically it HAS to ask for confirmation about double clicking being off and you have to say yes every time you exit to desktop and boot it back up)
Just bind heavy attack to shift +m1 and shift +m2
>>126523964
all residents of the initial areas have gone mad. you'd think they would be in a state of disrepair
>>126523896
the only true shithole is that drowned whatever-the-fuck-it's-called city and its shit-"kings".
>>126524090
I already did all that, but there's still some delay.
>>126524090
>>126523930
>it defaults back to on while saying its off every time you reboot the game
Fucking tyop
It defaults to OFF after rebooting despite the menu saying its ON, just go to it, right arrow twice and and backstapacebackspace, confirm, backstpace
It's annoying to remember but takes less than 3 seconds once you get used to it, and as long as you don't plan on turning off the game every time you sit at a bonfire it shouldn't be an issue
>>126524168
Yeah, but I said right there that disrepair can look good. Shit, man, just look at Yharnam. DaS1's early-game areas don't look good.
>>126524181
>It defaults to OFF after rebooting despite the menu saying its ON
Well that explains it, many thanks for your help.
When do you get the option to warp between bonfires in DS1

Once you've placed the Lordvessel, and while you can warp from any bonfrie you can only warp to certain ones.

>>126524508
For you
>>126523930
Even when you disable double-clicking, there'll still be the input lag. You need to wait half a second between your clicks for it to register as 2 attacks.
i.e. Click>pause>(attack animation)>Click>pause>(attack animation)
If you spam the mouse button quickly, it'll still think that you're double clicking and will refuse to queue the action.
i.e. clickclickclickclick>Nothing happens
You'll get used to it after a while but guard break and lunge attack is still almost impossible to execute. I bind them to extra keys on the KB so I can use them when I need to.
>>126524582
>>126524554

Enemies have been despawning in the whole series. DaS2 made it consistent and introduced an amazing mechanic along with it.
>>126525185
The hand axe is better dps for bosses from what i have seen.chaos and lightning that is.
That is from my memory of watching emarrel's sl 1ng+7 run though, and that was a while ago.

>>126525637
I'd save Ivory King for last just because the end fight for it is so badass, it makes for a good ending to your experience as a whole. Personally, I did Old Iron, then Sunken, then Frozen, but it really doesn't matter.

if you're lightweight, you might sunken for flynn's ring. otherwise in release order
>>126525442

It's my third character and I want to do evil deeds, fitting of a true cleric.
Do I kill Benhart of Jugo for his big blue sword?
What other other NPCs should I kill for good stuff?
>>126531149
I was just massively disappointed when the DLC areas were just chalk full of high-poise warriors of the same build.
>>126531302
I don't know, something about it just felt off to me. Again, I'd probably enjoy it more upon replaying it. I did love everything from the Dragon's Sanctum onward in that DLC (except Sinh, fuck that asshole).
>>126531160
>not Frozen Eleum Loyce
>>126531435
If not for the ivory king, eleum loyce would be bad. Easily the worst dlc overall.
>>126531041

BUT INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY EXPLORING THE NEW AREA, time to invade people!
>TFW going bleed build because fuck it why not
>Bleed takes AGES to build up on people in DS2 it's barely even worth it, that's with the bleed ring + gloves
>>126531520
Don't invade Shulva...the host will look stupid and so will you.
>>126531628
Don't worry I'm not. I'm invading best area.
>>126531520
Bleed is good vs people who sit behind a shield all day, but the only people who do that are new players and there are much better way with dealing with new players than bleed
I suppose it would also have niche use against heavy armor poisemonsters who try and trade hits all day
For something that reduces someones max stamina by a SHITLOAD on a lategame character and slows roll recovery times bleed is remarkably useless
>>126531687
TOTALLY NOT OBVIOUS DISGUISE.
>>126531628
It would be the best area...
IF INVADERS COULD USE THE DAMN SWITCHES! WTF WERE YOU THINKING FROM?!?

I think he's hiding.
Or AFK.
What a faggot.
>>126531995
This message is pretty fitting. He is hiding at the bonfire.
>>126531995
Welcome to low level invading. Hosts won't feel secure unless there's at least two phantoms with them.
>>126532201
>THE ALLOTTED TIME HAS ELAPSED
I couldn't fucking find him until the last second, time ran out but I still killed him.
>That sprinting whip horizontal slash
With an influx of green players comes a tide of green invaders.
>>126532619
Bruh, as long as you don't get into this shit where the host gets to sit on a ledge with a bow while his summon is a greatsword red armor shitter, all these new players from the sale are easy kills.
Is there much of a difference between being at 69% or ~40% equipment load in ds2?
>>126532851
50% is the cutoff for fast rolling. 70% is for midrolling.
>>126532851
Roll distance and stamina use on roll. Thats it
>>126532851
Yes, quite a large one at that
Stamina cost for rolling goes up
Overall stamina regen goes down
Roll distance goes down
Mostly its the stamina regen speed but having too fat of a roll will mean that you can't roll out of the combo range of some weapons meaning they can just mash R1 and stunlock you if you come out of the roll if you don't roll backwards twice, scales linearly as well, going from 68->67 has the same effect as going from 20->19
>>126532691
I'm out of red eye orbs but SERIOUSLY WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE SHITTERS?
All wear super heavy armor at this point in the game? Literally why?
Also only a single person I fought actually used a shield, everybody was two handing every weapon. The bleed strategy didn't do shit. What happened to all the UGS/Tower shield players?
Has the playerbase changed so much since before the first DLC came out?
It was almost exclusively UGS/GS and tower shield OR caster, you rarely saw other shit.
>>126533184
The real question is who the fuck does shaded woods before iron keep?
What could prevent me from cooping with another specific character in this game? I've been cooping with a friend for a couple of days now and then just suddenly not be able to. We're both 300k SM, both can be summoned by other people and can summon each other on new characters.
>>126533184
I was burned out on dark souls 2 pvp but now i want to bully noobs. Advice on a decent twink invader?
Fashionwise i thinking genetic spooky build, gravekeeper shit, dark mask and either darkdrift or scythe of want.
>>126466878
roll
>>126533579
You flat out can't be summoned in some areas
Summon signs can take time to show up
One of you triggered the "no online for 30 mins" thing by beating all the bosses in the area and forgot to remove it (bonfire, remove human effigy effect)
You are not actually at the same SM tiers

>>126466878
Roll dem bones.
What sl is best for finding pvp matches?
>>126530439
this is ds2 vanilla
>>126533796
We've tried areas where we could summon each other before.
Waited for about half an hour for the sign to show up.
I've checked for the basics of the coop rules so stuff like sm tiers, rings, being human and having no "no online" buff is a given.
So is sotfs harder than vanilla? I've been playing DS2 since it came out, and haven't played in a good while. I use to be able to breeze through most the game especially the first four, but now I'm getting my added handed to me. Is it just the new enemy locations or what?
Just started playing Dark Souls . I'm doing a strength build, so will the mace carry me through the entire game?
>>126534202
Yes. Mace is great in pve. Not so much pvp, though it is still viable.
>>126533184
>SERIOUSLY WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE SHITTERS?
I'm honestly not sure what you were expecting to come across given that's pretty much PvE players in a nutshell.
>>126534180
Well I aint got a clue then, try enabling cross region matchmaking as a last shot and good luck with getting it fixed
>>126533879
DaS2 lore is made up of DaS1 references and stuff that was purposely made extremely vague at the last second due to the messy development the game had.
I'm just hanging out in front of the gargoyle fog gate hoping someone will someone me :]

I got scholar and the heide knight is gone
I remember fighting him for that neat sword like over a year ago on a pirate, where did he go, does he spawn after the giant?
also nothing is like I remember
>>126534912
>hoping someone will someone me
>>126534995
Scholar enemy placements are different. Heide knights are in totally different locations, shit's different yo, just wait till you go to Heide's towerbeware mimics
>>126534995
Heide knights are where they belong, in HeidesTower of Flame 2 are scattered over the place but those don't count
>>126535106
>>126535129
I got the giant (on first try despite me being shit, guess giant is shittier), I am not even getting close to the pursuers and gonna go to heides next, thanks
>>126518787
>Brume tower room with 4 knights and a headless guy
You can kinda herd the barrelguys in and get them to fall and get blown up. once you get the big door open you can just run like fuck through, and kill the animated armour outside. Usually they won't follow you out for some reason.
>>126519259
Think of it as a chance to get all the black knight gear.
>>126467157
The bonfire in black gulch
I LOVE small, confined spaces that hidden only meters away from danger
>>126535220
Go look around in fotfg some more first, there is a shard lying around + you can get another one by talking to Cale, don't want to miss those
>>126466878
cheers
>>126535436
I have 3 flasks now
I remember there was another small outdoor area with two turtleshitstains but I have zero idea how to get there now
and I got the key from cale, got the thing behind the book and effigy+ whatever from the skeleton and chest
should I just go at 50% health all time? effigies look scarce to me
also, Im using bastard sword now, got 20str to use it with a shield, what should I invest in, hp, stamina?
>>126524994
Nigger. Are you retarded or something? Have Seath destroy the fucking crystal by baiting him to attack it. He'll be stunned for a quite a while, enough time for you to run behind him and chop that tail off.
>>126526092
I miss the Vermintide general.
Man the halberd is the best weapon but i never see people use it.
>>126535730
>I remember there was another small outdoor area with two turtleshitstains but I have zero idea how to get there now
Second bonfire, go through the double door you used to get in and drop down, you also get the fire longsword there
You get the ring of binding at Heides and with the DLC there are so many souls to go around that you shouldn't really worry about leveling, having vgr and end be at half of your primary attack attribute is a good rule of thumb to keep though.
>>126531408
Help a sister out.
>>126535930
oh yes, now I remember, that area with salamander tunnel
thanks

>>126535921
Jolly.
An early Silver Knight Spear is also divine levels of compf.
I have never played a mage build in Dark Souls and I wanna play DaS2 now for the first time.
Is a mage build bad for the first playthrough?
>>126536806
Ehhh it's up to you, it's easy mode for PvE imo. That said DS2 does have some bullshit in it so you will be better prepared. Haven't done the DLCs with a sorcerer build so it might actually be harder but I don't know.
>>126536806
Naw, but it's boring to start, you don't get new spells for a long time.
You also don't get a staff that's actually an upgrade for an even longer time.
Unless you go hexes, then you can get some upgraded staves, but hexes are for faggots.
Real men go bleed damage build.
>>126537180
>Real men go bleed damage build
>Lightning rapier
Anyone else have a problem with DS2 where they just cannot find a weapon they really fall in love with?
Everything is either too slow, too low damage, too low durability, too weak in pve, too weak in pvp, or just too boring. If there's one thing about bloodborne that really works, it's that almost all of the weapons are good in almost all aspects of the game.
>>126537296
That's for bosses bruh. Try bleeding a boss to death with that garbage ass whip.
It aint fun.
I've beaten DS1 several times, just bought DS2 from the steam sale, downloading it now.
My first run is usually a quality build, any decent quality weapons to look out for int he early game?
I haven't read too much about DS2, just that some stats have been changed around (looking at the wiki now to get an idea of them), and that you can lose max health when playing hollow, and that enemies don't respawn.
