I knew there was a Lucatiel spawn in No Man's Wharf for the Flexible sentry fight as I summoned her on the 360, yet for the life of me I could not find it at all even while human.

I'm beneath the room with the ballistas in the first real area, and I destroyed a chest because I'm paranoid about mimics. It turned whatever was in there into rubbish. Did I miss a great item?

But yeah, only tap chests once to check for mimics.

Actually, just remembered another question I had: You can't fight bosses as a shade, right? You just get booted out with the message "Host has left the area"? Was wondering if it was that reason or something else I'd been kicked out of being a shade a few times.

Man how the gently caress is the Smelter Demon even fair? Once he's on the third phase unless you time dodges perfectly he absolutely wrecks you, unless you have some kind of crazy greatshield. Is there some fireproof shield I'm supposed to have by this point?

Cause then no, you can definitely fight bosses as a shade. Helping two other dudes fight the sentinels was how I learned how to beat them.

The crow's nest after Pursuer will take you to Lost Bastille, but if you go to Heide's you can go to No Man's Warf which also takes you to Lost Bastille. You should do those first.

I had an epic moment while fighting the pursuer, I went in with an ally, and we both had alot of trouble beating him, until in a fit of desperation I realized that the loving basilisk was actually usable, so we were both down to our last bits of life, my ally was being chased by the pursuer, I calmy lined up the shot, and JUST as the boss was about to swipe and kill my ally he came into sight of me and I launched that thing right into the boss, it took away a full third of it's health and killed it before he can get my ally.  this game is loving awesome, I've been making tremendous progress, got kick rear end armor and weapons, and I feel like I'm finally getting into the groove of things. I've gotten to the point where I've met Lucatiel, she seems cool so I look forward to summoning her when that prompt shows up.

Beat on him as much as you can so he's already hurt by the time he's in his third phase. And if you're really having trouble, summon co-op allies.

The three guys that aggro on your the moment you stand up from the first bonfire at Sinner's is kind of a dick move. Has anyone been having better luck than me in PVP? Connection is way better, but the same problems with backstabbing and enemies attacking you from miles away still apply, with the added bonus of guard break either not activating, or activating and them still attacking anyway.

At least they're crossbow dudes so they'll stand back and shoot ineffectually so you can kill them one at a time. On a related note, attacking with your shield raised seems more effective in this game than the first.

scamtank posted:Man, it's like nothing has any kind of resistance against bludgeoning damage. Maybe this is From's way of saying "AND THIS IS WHY PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE AGES DIDN'T GENERALLY HACK AWAY AT BREASTPLATES WITH SWORDS". Doesn't help the durability problem that most weapon attacks connect with the environment whereas I don't think most standard maces do. So whiffing a sword attack is usually a really lovely deal whereas if you swing a morningstar or something if you miss and unless you are in a tight hallway, it doesn't smack up against anything. Maybe I should just upgrade the mace and then find a huge fuckoff greathammer or something. I see people with giant fuckoff Warhammer-level weapons, where is all that poo poo?

I've been running into some controller problems with my pc release. The buttons are all mapped wrong and I cant move the camera at all, since the right stick is set to do four different buttons depending on which way you move it. I had this same problem with the original Dark Souls PC game but I was able to fix it by pressing the mode button to switch it back. Only now that doesn't work with this game, pressing it does nothing. I've opened up the original Dark Souls again to test it and the mode button still works fine there. Just not in this game apparently. Is there some sort of easy fix for this or do I just need to get a different controller?

Good news is this is where its nice that enemies despawn! I just loving killed those guys over and over and over until they didn't exist anymore  Same with the loving exploding suicide zombies in Straid's room. WTF I get attacked as soon as I warp into a bonfire, and its the only way you can talk to an NPC? gently caress that! Everybody else moves to Majula after you talk to them enough except for that rear end in a top hat. Okay I guess Gavlan, Navlan, Wellager, and that bird lady... Also just realized there's an NPC named Gavlan and an NPC named Navlaan. Comeon From Software lets get a little more creative.

Not sure if it's the cause of your guys' problems, but I can say that if you get the message "Lost connection to Steam" at any point, your multiplayer connection stays severed until you restart the game, even if your steam connection comes back. I figured my first jaunt through Majula and the forest being devoid of signs was because no one had found the orange soapstone yet.

Is there a reason why the big grey guys in No-Mans Wharf are scared of my torch for about 5 minutes, then all become immune and attack me like my torch is unlit? I was standing in front of Galvan for the first time, and they all jumped me before I could talk to him. Just ran through, and it happened again. The instant I get into the room with Galvan, they become immune to my torch... P_R_Deltoid fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Apr 26, 2014 |

Despite the advice not to I started off Deprived. For some reason I have all the preorder stuff in my inventory even though I had cancelled my pre-order, but I can't use any of it because of my stats. I found a dagger near the start, and that was almost broken when a shortsword dropped off a hollow, so I upgraded my dex enough to use that. Just as my sword broke I came to the merchant that had the Blacksmith's key, so I've enough to tide me over until I progress a bit more. Things are starting to not respawn though, which is a handy way to force progress without farming so much it becomes trivial, I like it. I realise posting questions in this thread is going to be near-pointless for a few months due to how fast it moves but hear goes: I can parry ok but the riposte doesn't seem to be working - did I miss the bit in the tutorial area that showed me how to do that, or has it been changed/removed? I've tried both weak and strong attack right after parrying, just like in the first game making sure I'm right up close and not pushing in a direction (the backstab doesn't seem to work unless I'm not touching the right movement stick so I'm assuming riposte is the same?) Am I doing it wrong or is it just really finicky? e: ethanol posted:the npcs are the best.. listen to all of them. Sometimes they don't give you anything until the 5th or 6th time you talk to them.

But their stories are always incredible From one of the NPC dialogues (I think it was the guy that lets you join the blue cov in Majula) can I take it that this game takes place (early-game Majula dialogue spoiler) a long, long time after the first one? The way he talks about the firekeepers being a thing of the past makes me think so. Cactus fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Apr 26, 2014 |

This game and its predecessor are unique in being a videogame that gives you the option of murdering any and every NPC you'd want, but where I actually don't want to because they're actually loving useful most of the time.

Eventually there is an animation where they slap themselves and that point they are going gently caress your FIRE I"m after you foo! As for the riposte, it's fincky. Wait until they are on their rear end, and wait at one or two seconds then attack. The riposte animation should play. Too early and you'll just do your regular attack.
