>>147843667
You don't understand. The moment they see a mage they start spamming it from the get go. No way to cast any spells since no catalyst has hyperarmor on it.
>>147843583
No, it doesn't. You can WP your way through it just fine and get 500 damage counterhits. firesurge kiting is awful and overrated
>>147843449
spider shield is in the previous area. can get clumps by purchase or farming even earlier. rusted iron ring exists. git fucking gud
>>147843379
in my opinion, they should be treated like separate games. call ds2 Giant Souls and ds3 Ashen Souls, i don't know. From sucks at sequels

Blighttown was one of the better areas of Dark Souls 1. It was a slog your first time through, but you felt accomplished after finishing it.
Kind of like World 5 from Demon's Souls. It's absolutely horrible, but it's satisfying to beat.

>>147844763
Woud cuddle with!
>>147844394
on the other hand, they managed to make izalith as anticlimactic and disappointing. you slog through all the shittiness, nothing is particularly hard except if you try to melee the bounding demons, just annoying. the eyesore from lava, the constant sound from steping on it, the bad platforning with roots all around. then you reach the boss, which looks amazing and intimidating... and it's just some fucking gimmicky bullshit, with not a drop of satifaction even after you murder it, except using the fattest, baddest r2 you can deliver to kill it
fucking disappointing

>>147845094
Fair enough. It's just so frustrating watching some dark sword guy just stand still under charged attacks
>>147845098
Sadly, that is a pretty accurate assessment.
>>147845130

You can manage a tank with pretty good absorption and almost 2000 HP, it's just not the only way of playing which makes poisefaggots mas as FUCK.

opinions are subjective
>>147848125

It wasn't fully directed by Miyazaki-san.
post fashion boys
>>147847787I read a interview before that Miyazaki never wanted dlc or sequels and was pushed to make them. DS3 is a halfassed attempt for a sequel and filled with ds1 and demon souls callbacks to appease old fans and play it safe. It's fanservice: the game.

Lower Burg, no?
>>147849812
Just BC R1 shitters, its not that hard. I was rolling with another UGS bro and having a gr8 time
>>147848409
The sad part is that for every "meta weapon" it has a little brother that people already use for whatever reason
The ccs has the c shotel, the dork sword has a fucking gaggle of ss that have better move sets right behind it, pre nerf FUGS had other great weapons with better move sets behind it, and so on and so forth
The fact of the matter is that unless from nerfs shit into the ground like they did with FUGS, there won't be any reason for people to switch. Even if the card captor is nerfed to shotel AR then what's the difference? You have to hit people one or two more times for the kill. Big fucking deal
What they need to focus on at this point is keeping AR competitive in weapon classes so that we can enjoy variety and variety is the reason why I use a lot of the weapons I do. They're still really good in their own rights but you might not see them nearly as often because Hurr durr that's not eceleb approved
>>147850150
>rolls are shit
Step the fuck up. I beat the game as default fatroll knight
>>147849641
>>147849958
Just get out of range or hit me quickly.
>>147849981
The problem is split dmg, which isn't the weapon's fault. it has the potential of becoming a dex's or pyro's twinaxe equivalent despite the moveset.
Is this the same skeleton from the "shh, that's the sound of git gud" meme?
>>147850365
You can justify ganking however you like. The fact that one "side" inherently risks damaging their teammate while your side doesn't makes it bullshit.
>>147849081
Go full quality, leave int/fth at min reqs.
Stay at the lowest level where you can be 5+ and still find matches. The elemental damage scales with physical stats, so there's no need to invest in int/fth.
Basically, they're awful at like pre-+5 because people have a tonne of free flat defense and split damage weapons double-dip into that. Flat defenses scale very little with level, while they gain a tonne of damage per upgrade level, which basically means that even earlygame players have flat defense balanced against endgame weapons, making anything with split damage that isn't fully upgraded absolute trash.
At 40/40 and +5, they actually deal solid damage, and L1s will typically hit players for 300 damage, combo for 600 and so on. After hitting +5, they obviously get progressively weaker the higher level you go, since flat defenses still do scale up (albeit very gradually).
So I guess peak performance would be a level ~80 quality build.

Name the DaS2 areas you disliked
While you're at it, name DaS2 areas that can be skipped in 2 mins like some of the piece of shit areas of DaS3
>>147851347
I'm gonna guess it's physical defense stacking and the perseverance damage reduction.
>>147851296
Perhaps because everybody bashes the game even though it's pretty good?

>>147850628
>Each phantom attacking another single phantom
>Gank
Sure, it turns into a "gank" after one side loses a team-mate, but that's their fault for losing to their opponent. That's like saying its not fair in dodgeball that when someone gets hit, they have to leave the court. Sure it sucks that phantoms can hit each other, but it doesn't happen If the players aren't shitters
>>147851004
>tfw a lot of these areas are smaller, has little to no short cuts, and linear design compared to RNG dungeons of bloodborne
If they couldn't design a level they should have let the computer did it and then recoat it, infact I think that's what happened with Catacombs and Demon Ruins.

Getting the uncracked red eye orb is braindead easy in this game. Since you likely got the 5 orbs from shadow the hedgehog at Firelink you're only a skip and a hop away.

Damn, you sure got me!
This one illustrates your point much better, but the important part is I still had fun and these invaders probably turned off their game and cried because From isn't babying them

as if anyone needed a reminder that ds3 sux
So, can we theorize a bit.
What would the most defensive character look like?
There are plenty of defensive mechanics in the game.
Aside from rolling, which is something you always use anyway what combination would be the most efficient?
I was thinking about a Low req. raw weapon with the minimum INT needed for G.Magic shield.
Pump it up with the needed STR for a black knight shield and the rest goes into VIG and VIT.
Then how about supporting the build with regen? as Regen is obviously the strongest defensive mechanic atm.
Or any other ideas?

>>147854098
just equip a halberd for maxrange+damage and only attack when they lose access to their i-frames (when they attack)
works 100% of the time.
my save data got magically deleted somehow and I had no backups, who wants to be a sweetie and give me a copy of theirs?
fucking hell, how rare the dark gems are? I've been farming the pus of men for 2 hours now for nothing

>>147854259
yeah I already do that on my STR guy.
I just felt like fiddling with the game now that I have multiple chars.
And maxing out defense sounds nice as I usually play tanks as mains in other games.

Cool visual that when The End of Fire ending fades out, due to the way the cutscene is rendered in the game engine, if you have the pyromancy flame equipped it's the only thing that stays bright and visible until the scene cuts off.
>>147853609
I have 24 but I was planning on going up to 40.

Yeah. It's at least guaranteed once, but I'm not sure if it ever drops a second time.
>>147854098
Use Crystal Chime for that extra regen on top of Heal Aid + Sage Ring +2 which is fast enough to be a problem for passive players. If you need to cast something like Bountiful Light in the middle of a duel you'll probably want Crystal Hail/Homing Soul Mass.

hi guys
im really bad
how do i win in pvp
>>147854631
>>147854668
Alright, thanks.
>>147855151
Equip a carthus and approach while tapping R1
>>147855040
too many points wasted on END.
>>147854493
I really like being outranged by everythingBut I also really like landing L1-L2-R2 for 1300 damage
>>147847607
Wait is my favorite weapon popular now? I've been using this with an offhand mirrah sword since the start as my main build and I never see it on PVP
>>147855151
never attack first
>>147854893
I'll try it, thanks
>>147854493
I'm a bit of a whore
>>147854098
Red-Hilted Halberd for both pers-tanking hits and shield poking. A blessed shield on switch would also be valuable.
>>147855326
It feels good landing that combo
>>147855348
you know you got a shit game when the winning strategy is to sit around and wait
Can't even toxic you faggots anymore
>>147855151
run behind people and BS.
>>147855526
Hey man, I don't do that shit. I can't afford with as a strength build.I got rekt yesterday by a reactive dark sword R1 spammer and I've literally never gotten so mad at someone in a video game. And I never get mad at video games.
>>147854759
END being like that was something carried over from Bloodborne, where the gameplay was such that they couldn't really afford to let stamina be a limiting factor, so gave you a fuckload of it and huge regen out of the box and made END a worthless stat.
From tends to have issues like that. They design the game with a minimum amount of stamina in mind, and a stamina ceiling around which they can balance weapons. But, the difference between the floor and the ceiling ends up being so narrow that it doesn't really justify being a stat.
You gain so little stamina per point of endurance in 3 that it honestly might as well have been tied to another stat. The END/VIT split made sense in 2, where stamina was extremely limited and thus END was super valuable, and where armor was actually worthwhile (and had poise!) so VIT had a value, too. In 3, neither of these stats do enough on their own to compare to the value of vigor and str/dex/int/fth, so each point put into one is effectively a level wasted to provide a fraction of the power that a level in those other attributes would have given you.
>>147854493
I make a beeline for it in every game and she's never let me down yet. Perfect moveset, perfect reach, perfect swing speed, perfect damage. You literally cannot ask for more from a GS.
Jesus.
>>147855798
Not to mention a god-tier WA in 3.
>>147855798
>You literally cannot ask for more from a GS.
Except you can. Hollowslayer 2HR1 is better. Also I haven't seen claymore once since release
>>147855728
And then to double down on bad decisions they give us vit with nopoise and big diminishing returns on absoprtion
A lot of talent leading that developer team :^)
>>147855894

>>147855865still less than on a good weekend tbqh
>>147856073
R1 is great if you can pull it out on the fly to deal with turtles and R2 is excellent for rollcatching. Even on my broadsword that has the range of your dick.
>>147855628
Ironically, being reactive is the best way to use ultras.
Their tools of aggression are shit and everything they do is punishable by a reactive player. Your best bet to beat someone competent is to just play even more passively, draw out the fight obnoxiously and capitalize on the eventual carelessness that boredom provokes. Basically the only way you're ever going to win is by scoring that surprise HA trade, and nobody playing passively with a meta weapon will ever swing into your HA and get hit unless you play so passively and lull them into such a boring, repetitive pattern of mirrored passiveness that they get careless and give you chances to find that lucky trade.
The funny thing is that weapons like the CCS and longswords have all the tools to play aggressively, but choose to play passively because it's easier and safer (and thus requires less skill to perform consistently). Ultras have none of the tools necessary to play aggressively. Passive play basically is your aggressive play, because if an ultra user plays perfectly, and only ever swings when they're certain to land a successful hit, then you'd be swinging less than once every 5 minutes. They're just too awful at everything to do anything but wait and capitalize on enemy errors, and the after the enemy plays, the better they are at playing safe, the longer you have to wait before there's an oppourtunity for an attack from your weapon to actually accomplish anything other than getting you punished.
So it's inevitable; I've grown bored of duels. What are some good weapons and/or builds for invading? I've tried Lorian's GS, Spiked Mace, Lothric Long Spear, Broadsword, Gotthard TS, Demon's Fist (ugh), and Butcher Knife with very low success on each. I have respecs available so I'm willing to try anything. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks to anyone who responds.
Hey Gang, it's MartyrsBrigade here.
I lost my savefile somehow probably because windows 10 is a piece of shit. Does anyone wanna give me a copy of theirs? You'll have a dopelganger running around but I don't think that'll be much of an issue.
>>147856278
Being reactive is the best way to play ds3 pvp period and thats why its shit
Will I get more concord summons if I have Sentinels or Dorkmoon equipped? Or does it matter which one I equip?
>>147856282
Try the lucerne or the partizan/long spear. I use both and the leo ring and its the shit. Also the warpick if you want a faster option but its short as fuck
>>147856515
Do both, you have four ring slots
>>147856167
>it has armor and huge damage reduction
Was that in since launch or has it been buffed? I swear it felt shitty back during launch when I first tried it. Or is the greatsword version stronger than the straightsword one?
>>147856580
But only one PvP slot.
>>147856282
Refined Lucerne with Leo Ring. Fishing for R1 trade hitconfirms into combo is so fun.
>>147856278
This...what i do with Fume is roll punishing and trade whenever i can. I try to aim my R1s if I attack first but it's kinda useless and tbqh I find it the most boring thing to do. So I play more aggressively instead and get rekt by Card Captor
>>147856515
I think Dorkmoons get double concords if you happen to spawn into a world with an Aldritch Faithful and kill them.
>>147856576
>>147856727
Okay, thanks for the feedback.I'll give it a whirl. ;^)
>>147856582
Straight swords stance R2 have insane HA and damage reduction, it's pretty much perseverance in disguise.
>Mfw I won a trade against Propane with it
>>147856961
They do. You have to break the item apart first before turning it in though - it's a consumable that gives you two instead of just getting one.
>>147856961
Same way Rosaria Fingerers get forked tongues if they kill a blueberry.
Am level 91 just after beating Smelter Demon. How overleveled am I?
>>147856961
>Implying dorkmoons don't die to pve within 10 seconds of getting summoned every time

>>147857431
You'll typically be rounding 100 by the time you cross the Shrine of Winter, so if Iron Keep was your 4th greatsoul area then you're right on track.
>>147856463
passive playstyle has ALWAYS been the best way to fight, since demon's souls, it's not something inherent to DaS3
Why may the fextralife wiki contain wrong info? I used it for a while because the wikidot wiki was still all empty at the time
>>147857652
But that's totally wrong you get bullied if you try to pull that passive reaction shit in Des or Ds1
>>147856030
Claymore
Flamberge
Hollowslayer
All of them are pretty good, GSoJ and Twincest have a modified version of it.
>finish up multiple characters across all SL ranges for invading as well as duels
>finish up SL10/+0 high wall invader first
>invade on it for shits and giggles
these are hands down the most bizarre invasions I've seen, I don't even know what the fuck is going on half the time
I just invaded some dude with full ornstein's and a yhorm greatshield that dc'd on me cause I just rolled all his attacks while not attacking
do we want pcfc RIGHT NOW?!
Y/N
>>147857431
Ds2 has a far higher level average per completion. Its not unusual to be 150 at least by the end. Levels are far less expensive than ds3 and the base game alone twice the content of ds3
>>147856073
R1 has Armor thorough most of the attack
R2 is good for roll-catching, and it's always thrust damage even if the weapon doesn't list it.
>>147857901
I spent 10 seconds vigorously rubbing my Avarice tongue on an invader in Archdragon's today before he BC'd out.
for some reason i can't attune spells. i have the attunement, i have the spell but for some reason the option for attuning spells isn't even there. what gives? ds1 btw
>>147857938
the answer is always Y and you know it
>>147857938
B-but I'm tired now. Fug. Me and my FUGsword can't join.
>>147857938
i would partake as long as its not in an endgame area.
havent reached pontiff yet.
highwall or farron bridge possible?
>>147856727
I just tested the combo on a friend and he could roll out of the last hit of the L2R2 combo. Is it still worth upgrading?
>>147857791
you never encountered good ds1 reactive players if you're spewing bullshit like this
>>147848352
That would carry a possibility of it being total cringe tier depending on the quality of writing and voice acting.
I liked the way they did things in DS3, but honestly less is more in terms of boss dialogue. Normal characters maybe, but not bosses.
I think that in Dark Souls the bosses don't have to speak, they communicate everything via body language. Take O&S for example from the first game. They communicate their entire presence without saying a word, and when one of them dies, the cutscene communicates an incredible amount of emotion without a single bit of dialogue. In contrast to this, I think that if Artorias had had dialogue, it would've been cringeworthy.
>>147858245
Nah I've played just about every type of player in Ds1 and you're wrong
>>147857791
go ahead, try to actively backstab fish or throw random R1s against someone who knows how to play
you'll quickly get destroyed
>>147858319
post your best build
>>147858247
That's only because Artorias himself is fucking cringeworthy. If he had had dialogue it would have had to have been some Dark Flame Master-tier shit just to do the character justice.
>>147858087
everyone said no earlier
>>147858104

>>147858247
You'd need a preacher type character. It'd be totally fitting for the Deacons to dump religious sermons all over you while you're fighting them.
>>147858183
yes
lucerne is probably the second best weapon in the game now right behind ccs
>>147858389
That reminds me the abyss watchers
If they re such fanboys of artorias, why dont they use shields? Artorias used a shield all the way up until he ventured into abyss
>>147858002
>and the base game alone twice the content of ds3
I'd say it's more like 25%-33% bigger when it comes to the base game. Some areas in DaS3 are really big.
>>147858527
>Toxic and apply lloyds liberally
oh, so you don't know what you're talking about

>>147858581
We have no idea how many times the age of fire has ended and been restarted between Artorias' time and now. The Abysswatchers probably only have a tiny amount of knowledge about Artorias and just follow what little they know.

I guess that's just not how people remember him

>>147858581
Because they don't model their fighting style after Artorias, they just share a common source.
>>147858832
Everything in ds2 feels like a filler.
>>147858943
Then you don't have any slots.
>>147859034
>now spin back to das2
Thats the best you could come up with? ha
>>147858929
I'm gonna tell him right now :^)
>>147858646
I know that, that's why I used him as an example. Boss dialogue can work if used sparingly, but I'd like for them to be reserved to types like Garl Vinland boss fight or if you're fighting essentially a juiced up NPC rather than a traditional type boss.
Astraea+Garl were good, but I doubt that From will be able to pull that off again.
Maybe, just MAYBE it could work with a character that you would encounter and talk to along your journey, then they go hollow or mad and assault you and talk to you as they try to murder you.
>>147858406
Where is that?
>the world has been going on in this dark/fire cycle for fucking millenia now

>these faggots are STILL sword-fighting demons and dragons
Even medieval peasants IRL managed to figure out that shooting a huge hog with a massive crossbow or an arquebus was smarter. These fuckers have been treading water technology-wise for possibly more than ten thousand years. I don't think this world is worth saving.

Carthus was hunting the giant skeleton worm in Smouldering Lake. It says it in the Yellow Bug Pellet item descriptions. Then there are reanimated Carthus skeletons next to the ballista.

The world faces an apocalypse at the end of every cycle and a hard reboot into the next one. There's been no chance for technology to advance because most if not all progress is lost when one age ends and another begins.
>>147859603
So why does the fucking thing some how autotarget ME instead of the giant fuckoff worm crawling around
>>147858581
Considering you can get Artorias' greatshield as a reward if you max out the Farron covenant, they should know about his shield, but they probably considered that a greatshield would slow them down.
>>147859729
How's it an apocalypse if the entire history of the world is that Lord of Cinder after Lord of Cinder was fed into the fire to keep the OG Age of Fire going? If there had been an intermittent Dark Age I'd agree but they done their best not to let that happen.
>>147859734

>How's it an apocalypse
Have you seen the kiln?
As the fire fades, the world dies
You restore life to the flame and world but you can't undo the damage that was already done or the thinks already lost as the age of fire decayed into ruin.
>>147859373
With the constant destruction of kingdoms left and right, it's pretty hard to build anything. Besides, magic replaces technology for a great deal.
>>147859828
There's no evidence of it being an unbroken chain and consider that after the fall of the roman empire people thought roman structures must have been built been giants, plus it's a video game who cares

Seems to me like the age of fire was still going well enough to equip me as the main character with some dank ass top of the line cutting edge armor that hadn't yet rusted to dust (as steel is wont to do in a few decades of lying around uncared for).

>>147860352
Also take the example of the EK armor
Made of steel and in immaculate condition despite its land of origin being long, long ruined. The armor could not have been produced recently and the best explanation is simply that the state armor is in is not a source of canon and reflects aesthetic choices by the creators instead of a realistic timescale of the age of the equipment and the status of the world it's situated within.
>>147860192
But DS3 and DS2+DLCs are good.
Not that Demon's was bad either, it had a great atmosphere and the length of the levels was great.
All of the Soulsborne games are good and I enjoy them for different reasons.

Is the dragonslayer axe still the best option for wep.-req. only builds with raw infusions?
>>147851770
Nope, it stacks with Iron Flesh, too.
>>147851347
Heavy Armor + Perserverence = Something to the tune of 100 Defense / 60% Damage Reduction, even higher when you use Iron Flesh. A Morning Star on my Iron Flesh Perserverence Catarina Knight build could trade with a Pre-Nerf BKGA in an R1 spamming fest and come out on top. Shit is still ridiculous.

>in a game where time is convoluted and you can time travel a hundred years into the past and you keep meeting NPCs that have been dead for God knows how long.
Also, there are swords and armor from hundreds of years past that are in good condition still.
Did the linking the fire ending in DS3. I skipped prettymuch all optional areas and bosses. Figured I'd leave for my next playthrough, started with a sorcerer. Its surprisingly fun to play as a magic shitter.
I also only now realised that the firekeeper responds to your emotes in various ways.

1. Never try to HA trade with anything smaller than a greatsword. 90% of the time latency will delay hit registry by about half a second, giving them enough time to eat your attack, begin a roll and THEN have the attack register during their iframes. It's pointless to tradefish against anything with low recovery unless you have like 10ms ping with them, and 99% of gotthard's bloodring fags are from south american and eastern europe.
2. The counter to bloodring gotthards is just playing passively. The l1 and L2 are both easy as fuck to dodge, so just wait them out. They'll eventually be forced to change tactics when they realize you just won't give them something to punish or attempt to trade into their 500ms latency. Just roll backwards every time they roll and eventually they'll lose patience and be forced to use attacks that aren't L1, which gives you room to actually play the game.
3. Never, ever try to rollcatch someone using gottahrd's. 99% of L1s that land are just some 3rd worlder punishing you for attempt a rollcatch. If you're too early by even a few frames, their iframes will null your attack, leaving you in massive inactive recovery which they are free to punish with a Counterhit L1. If you're a few frames late, you either hit them during rolling hyperarmor and deal a paltry amount of damage while eating an L1 counterhit that completely out-trades you, or you get a lag "trade" where the hit registers so late they can roll the damage. Bloodring rolls essentially have no vulnerable recovery, and the L1 primarily punishes failed rollcatches.
Just don't waste time attempting to rollcatch, because that guarantees they'll get an L1 on you for more damage, and play passively until they start taking larger risks to approach you. Don't hold your ground or attempt to play around their ability to roll, just stay back and force them to take actions that aren't completely, 100% unpunishable roll approaches and L1 fishing.

Why waste everybody's time like that?

They can't do SHIT against turtling.
Turtling literally hard counters their entire arsenal, on top of that they lose every trade.

yes, it's been called ruined in the astora GS description, but it has not disappeared yet if you can still meet people from it

This. A high stability medium shields shuts gotthard's right the hell down.
Pair it with any weapon that has a good 1H moveset and they can't do shit.
Gotthard's also does significantly less damage than any other straightsword on its standard moveset, so you can pair a medium shield like Lothric Knight or BK with virtually any longsword. Block any time they roll into you, and trade into anything that isn't a roll and you'll poop on them.
High-stability medium shields shut down Gotthard's, WP and spears. The Carthus Sword is literally the only top-tier meta weapon that can deal with them.

>sunlight spear only does 800 dmg on a minmaxed build at point-blank range
just fuck my magic up
Whats a good offhand to balance out a 40/40 profaned greatsword that isn't a SS?
Once people figure out ligh rolls theres only so much you can do

To be quite honest familia, becoming one of those immortal brain-thingies doesn't sound like that bad of a deal.

You forgot Lothric's Holy Sword exists, anon.
>>147862292
Honestly, the problem with faith isn't that its spells are too weak, its that all it has are moderate-damage nuking spells. It has nothing fast or surprising to mix up with, just a half dozen variants of "windup for 2 seconds and then fire" melee spells and some AoEs that take a decade to go off.
>>147862004
Well, you sqw it, didn't you?
>>147861447
Oh man, I was already leaning to being very passive so this cements it. The last 3 gotthards I fought were from Taiwan,France and Russia.
Why the fuck is it always people with shitty internet or from Alaska that use these weapons?
Thanks for the input though. Very helpful.
>>147861579
I don't think this'll work.
>>147861759
I don't have a greatshield. I'll keep one or the black knight one in my inventory from now on.

Anri is Unkindled, which means she could've died, slumbered for a 1000 years and then woken up not even knowing Astora was ruined.

The whole Souls series (excepting maybe Bloodborne) clearly takes place in a kind of timeless land with legendary heroes. Not only is this stated to be how it works both directly and indirectly, there's also always people alive who probably shouldn't be given a normal human's lifespan and the timeline of events is never really made clear and precise, etc etc. The fact that armor and weapons don't seem to age like they should is just one facet of that.
It's like the kinds of myths that Tolkien modeled the elves after, where you could meet a woman in a field and stand there for a hundred years just staring into each other's eyes before going on to found and rule over a kingdom for several thousand more. The armor doesn't stay shiny because it's realistic, but because it's part of the hero's arsenal and in a good story, the hero doesn't need to polish his armor, it just works on its own.

This desu, once people get used to the lightning spear timing, and realize how much damage it does, you essentially lose half of your tools. And since faith takes so much to invest in to be good, and there are little to no faith scaling weps, your shit out of luck
>>147862713
well think about it, disparity was born of Fire, not the other way around.
Heat/cold, life/death, light/dark/, past/present/future, all of these disparate concepts are a consequence of fire existing, and as Fire fades, these too fade.
Time being convoluted is just evidence for the distinction between the past, present, and future dying along with the First Flame

I really didn't like this shit.
NPCs spouting incoherent nonsense at you works in BB because everyone's supposed to have gone mad from eldrich knowledge, and is trying to pass this incomprehensible information onto you with overly-primitive tools like tongues.
It really doesn't work was well in DaS3, the Souls setting just isn't designed for it. It feels out of place.
what are some other good str weapons besides giant club?

The last boss really felt like one of the best ones. The buildup and the fight itself were incredibly fun. Not too hard either. I also oddly enough liked the aldrich fight despite it being the hardest one for me.
Undead settlement was one of my favourite areas. Somehow it
