ethanol posted:yeah sounds like a great way to burn out on dark souls and not play ds2. this is one of those series where you should play the latest one and then if you still want more, move on to the older ones. Fair enough. I guess I overestimate my tolerance for massive amounts of Dark Souls. I'm coming off fresh from a replay of one and all of the small things (fast travel from the get-go, for example) really stand out to me. I feel like it'll be difficult to go back, but to each his own.

So uh...seriously? Dragonrider is supposed to be a boss? He was literally just one of the spearmen from the Forest of the Giants castle, but with a bigger health bar.

PirateBob posted:A couple questions... The answer is whatever you want, but you should honestly keep leveling until your levels become more expensive. If 4000 for elite knight would cost you 4 levels, then that's not worth it. When your levels start costing 4000 each then suddenly that elite knight set doesn't seem so bad.

It's disappointing somewhat that hatemail is not going to be a thing in this game, given how Steam messaging works. I've been a cheap dickhead Bellbro all morning!

I think the idea is that he'd be hard if you didn't flip all those switches to enlarge the arena. Though there's an even easier way to beat him... Stand at the entrance to the circle in his arena, wait for him to walk six steps towards you, and juke him to your right. If you do it right, he'll do a thrusting attack and fall off the edge.

I've been human for most of my Dark Souls 2 experience and I have yet to be invaded, and I've had my Blue Knight ring on and I've yet to be chucked into a situation where can I help someone out. Still bro-ing it up for free humanity, repair and heal is the best God drat addition.

^^ Some people don't even find the hidden cracked red eye orbs, or don't want to try invasion yet. Lots of people on PC right now so those that are invading, its a crap shoot. Are you to huntsman's copse yet? That's when invasions start increasing. Dreggon posted:Titchy Gren sounds like Moriarty. If Moriarty and Pyramid Head had a creepy kid.

For those of you needing some help early on, Estus Flask Shard Locations: You get one from Emerald Herald Attack the rock on the well in Majula Upstairs from cardinal tower, the door is locked but you can smash it open! Treasure inside! Find a dude hidden in a cave after the cardinal tower, he gives you a key to the mansion Also there's a really useful ring for newbies, There's a chest towards the end of the left path of Heide's tower which reduces the penalty of being cursed/dead by half! So at worst you're at 75% hp, not 50% hp.

I think you just need enough HP to make it, it doesn't hurt super bad. But if you're like me and you started swordsman with only like 5 vigor, then that fall was rough as gently caress. You can always go back when you're level 200 and you have stupid amounts of health and armor and poo poo. VVV Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the one we're talking about you can only come back through the other path once you've knocked the tree down. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Apr 25, 2014 |

NihilVerumNisiMors posted:Equipment breaking during sunbroing is somewhat annoying. You should have more than one weapon. If you forget to rest at the bonfire beetween summons though, that does kinda suck. It should just automatically refill your durability and heal you after a successful co-op. You could always buy some repair powder as an insurance policy.

So I'm aiming to get 30 Strength and 20 Dex and then pump the rest of my poo poo into Endurance (sweet green bar) and the stat that gives you more iframes. Does that sound good? I've kept on top of Estus upgrades and I'm wearing some hefty ballin' armour.

Zaphod42 posted:I think you just need enough HP to make it, it doesn't hurt super bad. Worth noting: Vigor does not affect fall damage, fall damage is a percentage of your maximum non-hollowed HP. Being human makes falls more survivable, other than that removing equip weight and equipping certain fall-reducing items will make them more survivable.

I was having a really hard time getting the ring of binding, I was so depressed by this game all day from how much I was dying I was certain I'd never get that ring today, but man, the second I saw that summoning sign pop up my eyes lit up like crazy and there was much jolly cooperation to be had, me and my teammate SCYTHED through those sentinels, god the ring of binding and a shitload of souls.  that was beyond awesome. I loving love this game. two things:- I now have 3600 souls, I'm debating wether to invest them in leveling up, or actually getting new gear, I already leveled up once before (upgraded Vigor ADP and endurance) but I'm still in the starting gear (and DLC stuff) I had before, I have the option of maybe buying a falconers helmet/armor combo or a sword from the blacksmith, or is it best just to hold off buying gear since like in diablo you'll just find better stuff either along the way? I still have not reached the first boss, the furthest I got so far is getting the ring of binding and right at (but not after) Falcon Drop Knight Also, I really really am dying to play this game with a controller, but I can control the camera with the right stick like I want to, I keep trying to map the thing on Xinput but it would not change into what I need in the game. it really sucks that this game doesnt have support to change button maps. is there anything I can do to fix this? pad is a Logitech that's basically shaped like a PS2.

So is the average level cap in this game higher than in Dark Souls? I'm getting a lot of equipment that requires a relatively high amount of stats to use for this early in the game, which is making me think I should be a higher level. As a benchmark I'm level 36 and just found No Man's Wharf.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the explorer class, you get some terrible beginning stats and you'll most likely burn through what little stuff you get from the beginning of the game fairly quickly.

Levels are cheaper than DS1 as well
