>>139184370
If he's a sorcerer then he has the advantage. All he has to do is allot more estus to ashen flasks and spam soul greatsword, since the boss has a weakness to magic damage.

Sorry for the delay, I'm testing it right now. I'm following both Patches and Greirat questlines. I killed Siegward.
Let's see if Greirat is saved.
>>139184416
Patches din do nuffin.
Patches actually likes him and says he owes him
>>139184459
That or onion will save him. but if no one is there to rescue him he dies.

I have just gotten to the Ancient Drake/Dragon, and I need a weapon to use that isn't horse shit.

>I wan't to do early PvP but are twinswords any good?
That's some weird grammar, but not really.
You'll either run up against ganksquads or legit idiots early on, so who cares?
They're not good after 40 I'd say, but skill > weapon.
>>139184520
what did you expect exactly?
The catacombs and anal londo are the only decent places to invade since they're the only places where the host can't be a little bitch and fuck you over with 3 summons.
Anal londo especially since those silver knights fuck anything up.
Also I love invading and seeing the host give up by jumping off a cliff

So learning to read.
>>139184459
Patches saves greirat because you save patches by being nice to him, which apparently teaches him to be nice to others.
If you aren't nice to patches, then he continues to be a prick and kills greirat.
Not to mention he tries to kill seigward.
Fuck patches. When I said I forgave him, I was lying. I just wanted to buy his crap from him before killing him.
>>139184572
would that make the pink faggot the stand then or what? fucking weaboos
>haven't actually done Dragonslayer Armour for myself because my damage is shit as all my stuff is lightning and dark
>just tag along for attempts as a phantom
>host usually gets creamed right out of the gate
My plan is just to memorize his attack patterns in my sleep and wail on him for 10 minutes doing 60 damage a strike.
Also, watching people try to visceral him when he goes to """""stumble""""" and watching them get hit for 600+ damage is fun.
>trying a run with claws and a longbow
>dual wielding claws gives 0 dps increase and the weapon art is pointless
What's this guy's deal? Is he going to drop stuff if I kill him or something? He seems friendly but I cant interract with him.

when he goes to irithyll you can save him. he will die at lothric every single time

ancient wyvern dies in one hit no matter what weapon you use
>>139184647
He's not friendly, you can't use bonfire near him
>>139184720
If you don't forgive him then he won't sell you seigward's armor along with some other stuff (like the parrying dagger)
It's the only way to gain access to his store.
>>139184713
Like to see the explanation why someday.
Maybe he was just really good at collecting tongues and taped a bunch to himself.
>>139184721
This
They're way too fast for a poiseless game
I use a heavy weapon and it takes like 2 seconds into my swing before hyper armor kicks in

You are a /v/ poster.

So is this what level you beat them?
Now that I look at it, the headpiece looks like shit on the player. I can see why they didn't make it available..

greatswords are getting decently buffed buffed (around 50-100 AR extra on all of them including scaling)
with some hope

I didn't forgive him and bought the parrying dagger and the armor
he didn't drop me down the bridge though, didn't do that encounter
>>139184803
>I use a heavy weapon
Then don't? I don't see the issue here.

Christ, I'm getting sick of these newfags from /v/ who have no fucking idea what longsword has been like since fucking Demon's Souls. Literally nothing has changed, they've ALWAYS been this strong you stupid shitters. Why the fuck do you think everyone in /vg/ prior to this game's release for MONTHS was discussing using longsword for their first run? HINT: because it's so fucking strong and easy to use, but boring as hell and predictable.

So wheres the best place to invade for FC/good fights?
Also im having a hard time getting my head arroumd these covenants, anyone got a page/vid describing how each works?
FUCK THE CAMERA ANGLE KING.
>>139184772
But I didn't say anything to contradict that. I said wear a Leo Ring and realize that they get scared from the Counter Damage of any thrust of a weapon with a longer range. Alternatively, parry them and watch their health vanish to a Hornet Ring riposte. They're the easiest weapon class to parry, even easier than katana R1 spammers.
Alternatively, invest in a weapon with hyper armour and be amazed at how many people still try to trade with you.
>there are people who unironically think the Usurping the Fire ending is the best/their favorite.
Way to shit on the sacrifice of not only Artorias, but every single Abyss Watcher to have existed.
>>139184935
they never did this much damage
I did it. I beat Pontiff. What a motherfucker that boss was. I'm so relieved, but exhausted.
I can't even imagine doing that boss with a slow weapon. Must be next to impossible.

It's to tight around the player's head. It should have been more loose, like Yhorm wears it.

Lightning Balder Straight Sword
Doing NG+ really shows you just how short this game really is
I love Sacred Flame so much.
4 games of getting fucked by grabs, and now I finally have one myself.
Oh that's a mighty big shield you've got there, cathedral knight! Lemme just reach straight through it and grab your dick. Now, you're going to feel a slight burning, followed by a not slight burning, and then you blow up. And then you get up and we do it again!
It's beautiful. I gotta find some boss to do this to.

Playing DS1
why is the voice acting so good
it's ASMR as fuck
>>139184860
can you parry decently?
then they're not too bad
it has a very low skill cap to be decent to good with them though, other weapons take more effort, so it's more that the skill cap is too low for what they do, but even then they hit too hard and should receive a pretty big nerf to be balanced compared to UGS, Greataxe & CGS damage and so forth, because right now it seems big slow weapons don't actually deal damage justifying being big & slow

>>139184970
The Abyss Watchers forsake their throne as lords of cinder, anyway. If they gave a fuck, they'd have taken the throne and not forced the Unkindled to hunt them down and kill them. Ludleth is the only lord to give a fuck, and that's because he's infatuated with the firekeeper. Better the flame be used for the sake of Londor and the hollows than to allow more shitty lords to forsake their throne when the bell tolls.

Cutting Kalameet's tail is not hard, is tedious because you have no real control over it. You have to wait Kalameet's charge attack and then you have to hope he decides to tail stomp you.

So are the Faithful the most fun PvP covenant or what?
Holy shit I gotta share what just happened.
Here I am after stomping the Pontiff in the little arena area. Haven't explored much, I've just been hosting arena matches here. Get a dark spirit and mad spirit, have them duel, offer myself as the "pot", All have fun.
I was in a lull so I wandered a bit to grab some of the loot and kill the enemies when suddenly "Mad spirit Billy Mayes has invaded"
O mai. It's an invader but maybe he wants to duel.
I tried to encourage him into the arena put but he just wanted my booty. Okay. So we're about to throw down when suddenly "Mad Spirit has invaded"
"Mad spirit has invaded"
"Mad Spirit has invaded"
>mfw
It turned to a carnage with mad spirits just slaughtering each other and suddenly becoming a Congo line as they all chase me around. Eventually they cut me down with those homing dark spirit missiles. Anyone else have a crazy story like that? Got me hyped.

Bullshit.
Bullshit bullshit, BULLSHIT.
You just happened to get the timing right on dodging his ultra combos on your first try... Why lie on the internet?
>>139185053saying things are a meme is a memereading things of a wiki this early in the cycle and taking them for granted is a meme though
try it for yourself and see who is right, all I know is that I didn't forgive him and I got access to, as far as I can tell, his entire store
>forgiving patches
fuck patches he's a cunt, never forgive him
>>139185120
>No openings
Then how the fuck was I able to hit him and even do multiple hits with a slow ass greatsword?
Phase one has multiple openings, mostly after his jump attack, his overhead swing and at the end of the 6 hits combo. He's also vulnerable if you manage to avoid any of his side counters.
Phase two is super passive, and full of holes. After the two bullets, the double swing, the explosion...
I am not saying he's easy, at all. But he surely opens up.
>>139184978
wooow you thought he was hard?? nigga I literally walked in the boss room and his bitch ass knew that I was gonna smack the shit out his dumb ass so he just committed sudoku right there nig

I once was invaded by a pair as a host while on the same ladder, they were stupid enough to follow me down so I just mashed R1 and made them both fall off.
Laughed my ass off.
>firelink greatsword doesn't transform like boss
kinda gay desu

Everything about this is cancer.
Is the Lothric Knight Long Spear worth using?
From what I can tell:
Greatlance - lategame, heaviest pike class weapon, highest base damage and requirements, higher FP cost for the WA.
LK Spear - early game, middling damage, highest dex requirement, similar scaling to the Pike (gains a C in dex at +1, don't know from there)? Also adds Poise (unsure if they have hyperarmour for this to actually be beneficial).
Pike - weakest of the class, early-mid game, lowest overall requirements, lightest.
tl;dr stick with the Lothric Spear for a quality build or hold out for the lance? Anyone got any experience with these?
Has anyone tried a oneshot bleed build?
Take bleed weapon like Katana.
Infuse with blood gem and invest in luck and dex or the relevant weapon stat.
Insta bleed hits
What SL do I stop for maximum activity? SL80 or 100-120?

>this guy
I've used...hand axes, spears, lucernes, halberds, twinspears, greatswords...
Whatever I want. If I want something new, I farm up the souls for the Titanite.
I beat Nameless King solo with a Dark Greatsword+8.
You gonna try to tell me shit ain't viable if you aren't retarded?

First time I played Dark Souls I, as a Demon's veteran, took me around 40 hours.
Dark Souls III is already 35 for me right now, and I still miss one of the lords.
As for replay value? Dunno, I can do an all bosses of Dark I in around 4 hours, I guess it's fucking short!

From has ruined this series for me. Invasions were the last bastion of fear and difficulty in Dark Souls, and now they've been relegated to joke characters, figuratively.
>>139185249
why havent you changed that to heavy infusion
it has an above average bonus and you already have a shitton more str
how do i get the infinite homeward boner?
>>139185249
Maybe if you're a dark sword shitter.
When should I stop leveling?
>>139185209
>using anything slower than a straight sword gets you utterly fucked
lol, okay
i think you're confusing "is literally better" with "i am forced to use this in a singleplayer situation with no competition"

>No Bleed Resin in your inv.
It's OK.
>>139185120
if you don't have a very slow weapon there are several openings, one is after the leap, but it's very small so you need to roll pretty early
one is after the side dash dodge into two flaming strikes, he'll do a pretty fast strike after though, so you need to block IMMEDIATELY after the hit, another is the whirlwind combo, he has a decent downtime after that
another is after the gigacombo when he crosses his swords over his head
after he does the first 4 or 5, he'll do a thrust with the sword, he can either stop there or do two more, if he does two more roll into the second and you have a window there
second phase just bait the leap, really easy to punish though you need to get away fast so you don't have to deal with followup
>>139185272
and then do what? Attack? I'll just get hit by the straight sword user on my back
So the Symbol of Avarice is a random drop off mimics, right?
>>139185226
Got in on vid
Along with my first try dancer kill after starting the fight with only 4 flasks
Maybe you should just get good

Souls games have incredible voice actors.
When there's so little dialogue, it helps keep the actors from getting exhausted and lets them repeat their lines until they get it perfect.
Nothing to see here, just an ordinary elevator.
>>139185285
It also has super shit tier scaling
Garbage weapon 2bh
>>139185267
Halberd
>>139185313
I haven't even been invaded without a sunbro. Not a single time.
Just killed oceiros with a +0 bandits knife so I can twink out with a hornets ring.
The lengths people will go.
>>139185231
>everything is a meme if it's a repeat of anything that has ever happened ever
I'm pretty sure you don't know what a meme actually is. I'll give you a hint though: it's genetic (in theory). Google it.

I honestly loved Gundyr's halberd and used it pretty much exclusively once I got it.

The only reason the Abyss Watcher forsook their throne is because they themselves became corrupted. Their vows are more important than them being present at the throne, so they remain in Farron Keep, killing each other on the basis that they are corrupt.
>>139185071
If you want to see the 'positive' affect of man, just take a look at New Londo Ruins.
Literally the best, most respectful ending is extinguishing the flame. Anything else, and what Lorian said with his dying breath about you will remain true;
'"Mark my words, Ashen One. You remain among the accursed..."
Also
>Lorian literally cripples himself so he can't walk to the throne because he despises it, becoming cursed instead
This game is pretty poignant, senpai. Even Oceiros crying gave me the feels.

can you actually do anything other than purple sign?
can you actually attack host when summoned through white?
>>139185153
I didn't even use the parrying dagger the entire fight. Parrying the boss didn't even really occur to me.
>>139185275
At sl20-30 with +2 weapon the invasions are nonstop.
>>139185313
Do Aldrich stuff, it's literally that.
A couple of idiots might stall you out - but for the most part, I've gotta either 1v1 coolguy fights, or fun shits (2v1, 2v2, 2v3) involving the archers.
>>139185369
Valtr from Bloodborne is the real MVP.
>"THE NIGHT BRIMS WITH DEFILED SCUM"
If I just invaded you in the grand archives, ran away to the top near the 3 cunt npcs who fight you at once, and then ambushed you without letting you open up the shortcut I'm sorry
>>139185186
dark souls 2 is longer than dark souls 1 and dark souls 3 but it's a shit game and the extra length is extra shit
>>139185332
Never.
Prisoner's Chain in PvP is suicide, right?
Regarding the infusion memory thing, does it also apply to infused treasure?
>>139185418
Yes. When you put a white sign down, it's purple. When you're summoned, you can kill enemies and the host. You cannot enter the boss fog.
>mfw my +5 refined loth longspear deals 58 damage to sully's shade
TEN MINUTES UNTIL THEY BUFF STRAIGHT SWORDS AND NERF EVERYTHING ELSE
>>139185314
Good point, will make that swap. Refined was from pre NG+ when I was still deciding between STR/DEX.
50 STR is only for the Fume, which I kinda regret speccing for on this char. Might respec to 40 and get more FTH.
>>139185339
Noted, thanks.
>>139185350
adding to this I literally haven't taken any damage at all the whole game my nig
and I beat every single boss first try in like under a minute
fucking get on my level
DaS3 reeks of B-team quiality
DeS, DaS, and BB are the only real Souls games.
>>139185428
>parry dagger in offhand
>I didn't parry the entire fight
I EXTREMELY doubt that, because if so, you'd have taken it off, because it doesn't even have an attack anymore, and the block is absolutely horrendous, you're not two handing either so there's no that excuse eitheras far as I can tell atleast
even more supported by the fact you have a high critical weapon in main hand
>12 estus
fuck I missed a shard
>>139185397
>Only Archdragon Peak and last boss left
>No tits slab to be found
>Check out wiki
Damn, they've hidden it pretty fucking well, except for the vendor one, but even then it's still kinda hidden in plain open.
>>139185496
Idiot.
>>139185270
>slower than a straight sword
>implying an estoc is slower than a straight sword
Does twin katanas give S in faith scaling?
>>139185436
The problem isn't just wanting to have fun as an invader, though, the problem is now I don't want to join Darmoons or Blue Sentinels, or summon buddies to fight Invaders, because I feel so bad for them.
For fucks sake they're the only type of Phantom that drops souls.
It's almost like invasions weren't playtested.
>>139185438
Alfred was the best, but his quest line should have been longer, so the transformation from level-headed hunter to batshit insane pyramid-head would be more jarring.
How much end forgreat hammers?
>>139185462
It's complete shit unles you desperately need more stamina/vit.
this game is so fucking rigged.

>>139185507
there's one in archives and on the elevator up to princes. pretty hard to miss
>>139185186
Nah, 3 is longer than 1. 2 is definitely longer than either but its got a shitload of filler
I will give 2 credit for having a lot of side content and extra stuff to do though, 3 could really use more of that. There's what, like 3 optional bosses? 4?
>>139185496
DeS and DaS had unintentional engine jank. DaS3 is refined DaS1. DaS2 is the worst in the series.

So what's the point of trying anything other than 1h weapons in PVE?
I really feel that this game has no diversity because of how retarded underpowered R1 spam is. I tried UGS, I tried GS, spears and so many other weapons against all sort of enemies and I was constantly thinking to myself: why bother when R1 spam could have done twice the damage and as such be twice as safe with it.
I do not know why I feel such a huge disappointment with the lack of variety, even tho there's shitton of weapons, other than some snowflake boss weapons, they all act the same and weapons are good or bad based on how well they R1 spam.
I can't believe I am saying this, but in this respect, even Dark souls II was fun to try new things out. I am really waiting for some proper balancing with this game, but they can't/won't balance their retard R1 stagger mechanics.
I had the most fun when I fought gargoyles or anything else that wouldn't just make me a mindless R1 spam sheep.
Now some people would go and say: "hurr just don't r1 spam feggit", but I then feel like I am just playing like a retard. Legit gimping myself to excuse a game's lack of proper balancing/design.
I am not even trying to shit on the game, I loved the pve and I am writing this with absolute disappointment. I want my UGS to feel powerful, I want my GS to have that balance between fast and strong. Now all I have is a rating of R1 spam or go away.
Making the game faster, I.E adding bloodborne to it, was a huge mistake, one even worse than the lack of insight B-Team had with Dark Souls II. It's like he completely forgot what made Dark 1 so good.
Anyways, long blogpost, ignore it or as a tl;dr - R1 spam effectiveness kills the game variety.
Really just felt like getting this shit off my chest.

i'm struggling to parry online. i know i need to git gud but at times i will hear the parry noise only to get hit anyway. or swear that i landed the parry only to get a partial parry.
