Lemon Curdistan posted:How viable are miracles as your only school of magic now? They were kind of crap in Dark Souls because the miracles weren't great; I'd like to know if they made miracles (especially offensive ones that don't rely on getting a high covenant rank) good enough to use like sorcery. Miracles so far have been overpowered as poo poo for me unless I happen to be fighting a Minotaur in the Shaded Ruins. gently caress those assholes. What do you even do about them as a Cleric.

Where can I get normal titanite shards? I know what enemies to kill to get large ones but I need normal ones to upgrade basic equipment, but haven't seen an enemy drop one. EDIT: The backstab detection in this game is so loving lovely. Its sad how much online play favors cowering behind a shield due to the i frames of rolls not working at all.

In order to avoid potential spoilers reading thru the thread (sorry!) I gotta ask if there's any real loss to understanding plotlines/story/etc on by not playing the first one.

What do you even do about them as a Cleric. drat it, it's really tempting to just stay at 16 str/12 dex and use faith as my primary stat, then. Especially since it'll scale the fire and lightning damage on weapons.

Is there anything in the room after the boss in no mans wharf besides the thing that you examine to get to the next zone I clicked that first and I hope I didn't miss anything.

In case anyone was wondering, poison mist is still terrible for PvP. The casting animation is way better but the effect doesn't work fast enough to do anything.

This has probably been asked and answered before, but I'm too afraid of spending too much time in this thread in case of spoilers, so: Is there a way to bring up a more detailed description of items while browsing through them in the item box screen? I wouldn't mind being able to see their stat requirements, etc. without having to place them in my inventory every time.

I completely missed the way to Forest of the Giants and went through Heide's Tower of Flame all the way to No Man's Warf gently caress those pirate rear end holes and their creepy Dark Stalker room mates. This is my first time playing a Souls game, and it felt like my dick was in a vise the whole way through. Anybody else made that mistake?

Elysiume posted:Also apparently homeward bones count lighting a bonfire as "resting" even though it doesn't reset health/estus or anything. Ughhhh x2 If you're going for a No Bonfire run, lighting a bonfire/using a Homeward Bone will not invalidate you from getting the ring. You just have to be extremely careful as to when you light said bonfires, as you can only make each one your "checkpoint" once.

You can see another path to take instead, that is eventually blocked by a statue. You can now un-petrify this statue. I'm sure their are others paths of course, just the one I'm on.

Free them with the Fragrant Branch of Yore you obtained. Alternately, talk to Licia at the weird contraption which led you to Heide's Tower of Flame. Or head down the Magical Majulan Pit of Wonders.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Where do I go after Lost Sinner? ANYWHERE! More seriously, if you have a branch of yore you can go through the path that the petrified lady holding onto a lever is blocking. Or if you talked to the miracle lady in Heide's tower of flame until her lines were exhausted you can talk to her and take the alternate path that leads to Iron Keep. Or you can jump down the hole.

Just read some metacritic reviews to see why the user score there is so low and my lord. The game runs flawlessly for me but there are a bunch of people screaming about it being a 'broken port'. Anyone know why this is? One of the major complaints is that the game is bad with a mouse and keyboard? It isn't really meant to played that way (despite them trying to make m&kb more accessible).

What do you even do about them as a Cleric. If you mean the Lion Warriors, they have extreme resistance to all magic but they only have one attack, it only swings once, and they're vulnerable to backstabs. Either get one hit after every swing or move in and get a backstab after the swing.

Okay, so. I defeated the first boss and opened the door across the bridge over fire. However, I wasn't aware that smashing chests turns the stuff inside onto rubbish. I was doing it because I love smashing stuff. What was in there? Hopefully nothing important.

Some of the bonfire intensity 2 and NG+ phantoms are in mean places. I like the exploding mummy phantom chilling under the water's surface in Sinner's Rise, right before the staircase that's clear on intensity 1.Ariong posted:Okay, so.

gaaaaaah, I cannot upgrade to the Claymore, I just can't. It only has three attacks compared to the Bastard Sword's four attacks with 120 stamina - I MUST be able to attack three times and still be able to dodge, without having to stop and catch my breath.  Guessing the claymore's damage shits all over the bastard sword at higher upgrade levels though?

I was there recently and wanted to quit my game for the night but couldn't since I kept getting invasion after invasion after invasion. Also assisting a host with serious lag is just crazy. I can't get over fighting bosses that are basically stuck in their animation for about 10 seconds and then suddenly register like 2000 damage.

You really should only hit wood chests once to check for Mimics, no more or you'll break everything. That chest in particular had a ring of regeneration (as in HP regeneration).
