I love the bell covenant/belfry areas so much. Belfry Sol doesn't even have a boss at the end or anything, it's just a big PvP clusterfuck. Kind of dumb that you can't summon ghosts to help you unless you're human, but you can get invaded by two guys and ganked at any stage of hollowing. If you're playing around in these areas it's probably expected that you have a lot of effigies, though. extremebuff fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Apr 27, 2014 |

I'm so bad at this game. But I just beat the Last Giant! It was very satisfying. Now it's time to figure out what the gently caress I should do next...

Wow, No Man's Wharf is insanely easy, I definitely hosed up going to the Bastille after the forest instead of here. Kind of disappointed about it too, I blazed through it pretty quick, wheeled and dealed, then got to the ghost ship. Finally have my pyromancies and spells I can use, too! And I got to the hex trainer! But I still have too little faith to use any. Speaking of which, if I meet the int requirement to use the Archdrake Staff but not the faith requirement, what happens? Do I just suck at casting miracles? Still rocking the elite knight set too; it's light and still one of the best looking sets in the game. quote:I'm convinced that all these people I keep seeing walking straight off of cliffs and piers are using the KB and Mouse. No can really be this uncoordinated. Whenever there's a dozen bloodstains on the ground, either there's a trap, or a cliff. quote:Just a warning: You will encounter them again later, just not as a boss fight. gently caress

I don't really get creeped out by video games but a certain area (Brightstone Cove) kind of made me want to walk away from the computer I can't imagine what it would be like to go through that area as an actual arachnophobe

I love how everyone loving loathes the Ruin Sentinel fight, so of course there's an exploding mummy right before the bonfire they guard. I saw a bunch of bloodstains in that hallway

I wonder what the significance of the last giant not actually being the last giant is? I mean, in the black gulch there's a hidden area where two REALLY powerful giants are just chilling in a cave, killing them gets you a key to a bunch of end-game gear, and I'm wondering if they're just there because hey it's a video game or if it's actually very important that there are giants still lurking deep in the earth.

@RBA Starblade well you could be like me and finish Iron Keep before finding No Man's Wharf. Seriously just breezed through the zone at that point.

I can't help but feel that making two slashing swords my main form of damage was a bad call. Almost every enemy is armored and I feel like my damage is like 1/3 of what it should be against them. It's a little disheartening to see that a +6 Ricard's Rapier does more damage than a +10 Blacksteel katana in almost every case.

There are other ways: The Traveling Merchant's Hat you can buy from Melentia (the old lady in Majula), a set of Prisoner's Tatters you can get from certain hollow enemies, Covetous Gold Serpent Rings that you'll find mostly in Iron Keep I think, and the Jester's Set sold by a merchant in Iron Keep. You wear a combination of those things and you'll get lots of loot.

Sober posted:All enemies being armoured and the new durability system really work against slash weapons. Also, using the heavy attack with Ricard's Rapier uses up like 20% of the durability bar  I have 3 weapons and they all keep breaking in the middle of runs between bonfires.

Kimmalah posted:Yes, I'm done with it. I know one of the merchants sells a lot too. I'm mostly just curious. Ah ok I was only asking because I didn't want to assume. So you know how you fought the Giant Lord? Well bonfire aseticing the bonfire after the King's Door in Cardinal Tower, resets the memory. There is a asetic in there you can pick up, obviously you have to fight the boss again. But outside of the memory there is a corpse with that has two twinkling titinates. The only downside about this is all the memories are affected. The again, the giants nearly one shot everything so not that much of a difference. So yeah techincally this is a way get infinite twinkling titanites because you will never run out of bonfire asetics because you pick a bonfire asetic up in the memory everytime. And the corpse "respawns" the item. Bonfire aseticing resets everything like chests or corpses with items in it. And this bonfire will reset the twinkling titanite corpse. I mean I can take out the Giant Lord with like 20 great lighting spears, considering he's really easy to fight on the stairs and maybe under one hour or so I get like 18 twinkling titanites so it's not too bad.

I am starting to feel like i've got the wrong end of the stick after playing the other Souls games. I don't do all that well against bosses, but i can figure out the run to pretty much all of them so far without engaging a single enemy.  I felt pretty smart doing the dead man's wharf one, though it was more about avoiding the two shadow nasties in the building after the bell. The rest of the enemies just have a surprisingly forgiving disengagement range, which is against what i was led to believe about this game

Hahaha, I literally just intimidated someone into walking off the ladder tower to their death in Belfry Sol. Didn't swing at them once, just my presence was enough to scare them off.

If you shoot the jars hanging from the ceiling then it should probably be impossible for that to happen, but nothings foolproof.

I guess I shouldn't have taunted fate because as I was invading as a grey phantom in the bell tower, I lost my connection to Steam for all of 30 seconds and was kicked out of the invasion. Does that mean I'm branded for life and can't summon/invade until I use this spinal cord thing I started with?

And then you get to the enemies where you realize they're not just spiders, but body-snatching parasite spiders. All in all, though, the enemies in this game that make me uneasiest are those gas-beetle things. Everything from the way they move, to the way they sound, to the utterly disgusting appearance of their bloated, hole-riddled backs. loving christ, Fromsoft.

I was disconnected from steam when I had a guy summoned at one point, and when I reconnected I was still able to summon people normally. Also it's a good thing I went back to the Iron Keep to get the gold serpent ring +1, because I didn't realize that place is pvp central. Also gently caress the giant soul spear spell.

Am I correct in assuming that I will be able to wear heavier armor better by raising my strength? I noticed that it starts to inhibit my movement/rolling, but when I use help on the level up screen I don't see the thing that shows you how encumbered you are, at least I think thats what that percentage is.

So I just beat Sinner's Rise, heide, belfry, giants, bastile, and wharf. I think that's everything so far, where the hell do I go next? I can use this branch of yore on the lady near the door, or i can use it on this guy blocking a bonfire in the bastille. Is there a way I can get a second branch in the meantime?
