Konjuro posted:Are elemental weapons in DS2 as useless outside of PVP as they were in DS1? I found a lightning and a flame sword in the first area, and I'm wondering if they're worth upgrading. Good question. I'll tell you after I've managed to get through Earthen Peek into Iron Keep where the flame the elemental blacksmith needs is hidden. Be a bit though as I've gotta take a break after trudging through an area more Poisonous than Blighttown (not as Toxic though, but that's because Poison is the new Toxic).

Splurgerwitzl posted:Is there any way out of the Bastille before the sentinels except by killing them? I've been farming souls here and everybody I cooperate with is really bad. There is. There's a boarded up room in the courtyard with the dog things and scaffolds. Once you fight your way through there to the last room, you can use a Pharros lockstone that will open two hidden rooms. Both have treasure, but the one on the right has an iron maiden-like cage that acts an elevator to the upper levels of the Bastille and eventually another area.

There's one in the basement of the big locked house in Majula - save its owner to get the key, one in locked room above the second bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants (break down the door). Annnd that's it for Majula/FoFG. Kimmalah fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Apr 26, 2014 |

Teleport to Huntsmans Copse second bonfire, and after the first bridge, turn right and keep going that way - if you meet the bridge that needs to be lowered you went too far. You'll know it's the right area because you'll encounter a new enemy. EDIT: When you first encounter that new enemy, you should have passed a very small bridge crossing. After you kill him, go right again for the Notched Whip. neetengie fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Apr 26, 2014 |

Do you have any weapons with long reach? If you two hand a longsword, your strong attack should have enough range to take out some of the peskier statues. Well, it worked ok enough for me. Also, fire is your friend in this place.

Anything that causes you go to a load screen, such as dying or warping, will cause them to "respawn." Walking back to a bonfire, however, will not. Go through the area slowly and don't be afraid to chug flasks like mad and return to the bonfire on foot as soon as soon as you need to. This also allos you to repair your weapon periodically. Bigger hint, don't read unless you want that area's easy-mode: stay near the cliff edge to your right. At the end of it will be a path past a rock wall. Follow it to get to a second bonfire that gives you easy access to the boss. PsychoInternetHawk fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Apr 26, 2014 |

My main weapon is a spear, which works well against the leeches and can destroy the statues just fine. Problem is the durability is horrible for some reason. If I use it to break all the statues and fight the leeches it degrades way too fast, and nobody down there is summoning so I can't work around it either. EDIT: Wow okay, I just got killed by bleed damage during PvP when the bar didn't even come up

It takes about 6 to get through every poison area in Harvest Valley, 4 or 5 to get through the area you're in, and, well, those are the only places poison is a problem I guess.

Not only do pubbies not know how to deal with Great Soul Arrow, they really don't know what the hell to do about a naked man with a pair of daggers in their face. By the way did you know you could plunging attack with daggers? Because you can.

Okay, just about done installing this thing. I really liked having a plan for my characters going into the first two games, but I haven't been able to find a very good resource for builds as the Wiki page seems like a mess. Any suggestions? I typically like to play a melee character, not too worried about whether he's fast or slow. More interested in the neat weapons that are available.

Wow, I'm had so much fun sunbro-ing it up today outside of Ornstein. I wish I had been able to do it more in DS1, but I didn't start playing it until a few months ago and I could never get summoned. Why even bother wasting effigies to reverse hollowing when you can take 5 minutes to help someone kill a boss and get a bunch of souls to boot.

It's kind of an out of the way place, maybe a lot of people haven't gotten there yet?  And some places just tend to be more popular to co-op than others.Also make sure you haven't hollowed and forgot or something. I've done that.

What's the deal with bouncing off people instead of backstabbing them, by the way? It happens in PVP and PVE. e: A guy with a greatsword missed a jump attack entirely three times in a row and murdered me. e: There is zero point in trying to guard break online. It will not work.

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/04/24/dark-souls-2-modded-durantes-gedosato-enables-downsampling-texture-modding/ Durante's GeDoSaTo tool is nice, the SSAO makes a nice little difference. The only bug I've seen is some goofiness on one end of Mejula's skybox. And there's actually a few texture mods out already, including PS3 UI buttons and non-greenish Hollow skin. http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2

Man, where are all the red & blue Phantoms? I've seen one red invader and no blue phantoms, even when wearing the Blue Sentinel ring everywhere. Meanwhile I've seen hundreds of grey phantoms from the bell tower & rat zone. Guess I should take matters into my own hands and use some cracked red eye orbs.

This may not be the proper place, but I was hoping to WHEEL AND DEAL with the PC players. Does anyone have a Old Knight Ultra Greatsword to trade? I'm working on a Cloud Strife cosplay and it looks eerily like the Buster Sword. Current SM 130,000.

Yeah, I haven't been able to get a single bite on using my cracked blue eye orbs or from being summoned as a Blue Sentinel. Maybe it gets better at NG+ but it's feeling pretty pointless right now. I have been invaded a handful of times though so looks like the red orbs are working.

Hm, I didn't think the Rotten would be hard the first time I fought him. I got him to about half health since dodging his attacks was so easy. Then I got hit by one and got OHKOd. Then the next time I got OHKOd. And it turns out basically all of his attacks OHKO me  Maybe I should of invested in more health.VVV Yeah dodging is easy, its just a single miss and I'm dead. Its like Asylum Demon on steroids. Currently SL 49.
