And congratz, hope you weren't planning on infusing any weapons with elements this NG run! Or buying large titanite shards!

Please, PC thread, continue killing vital NPCs for no reason. It's great.woodenchicken posted:Do the Flaming Longsword and the regular-rear end Longsword have the same moveset? They're actually the same weapon. The Flame longsword is just "infused" with an element, much like can be done to any weapon in the game.

Uuungh they updated the game with a patch that fixed the HDMI/crash on startup issue. Finally playing it on the big screen in 1080P compared to 1600x900 on my monitor for the last few days, and it's amazing.

Ponytail girl sells an unlimited amount of every non-elemental, non-slab titanite if you get far enough in the game though. But yeah, no infusions. Petrified Dragon Bones are such a bitch to farm, but at least I got real good at killing ogres in Aldia's Keep while doing it.

I was using the small soapstone in the Warf to farm some stones, and placing it right next to the house where Gavlan is. Out of about 10 summons, 5 people attacked Gavlan for no reason. 3 of them died to Gavlan. 2 died to the trapped chest.

I got quite a few (as well as a poo poo ton of infusion stones) from trading smooth and silky stones with the birdies in Things Betwixt. Worth a try, especially if you love to use small soapstones like I do.

I've discovered that Dark Souls III was leaked when Dark Souls got an About page in 2011:quote:You will face many unique, despair-inducing monsters. Survival means accepting you will die, learning from death and overcoming the ultimate challenge to reclaim your soul.The demons who rule this world gain their extraordinary power from the King’s Crowns. To retrieve the King’s Crowns and reach the flame of the world, you will have to face the White King Gwen and his knights, the witch Izarith and her evil daughters, the first dead, Nit, and the immortal and nameless shadow dwarves. We've seen the Shadow Dwarves ancestors in Gavlan, Gwen is obviously Gwyn's lost son. The Eggs we will be collecting will be from the Dragons who will have reclaimed the world now the giants are gone, and we must bring them eggs to keep their rule strong. The curse of the undead has been lifted but everyone needs to gain spiritual essence to return to normal, and you will have to log in every day or your essence will begin to degrade. It was all there, we were just too blind to put it all together at the time...

So whats the situation with hackers? Ran into my first one today, infinite HP black phantom interrupting funtimes at the Belltower. Can I expect steam to crack down somehow, or is this GFWL all over again? Edit: I reported him, for what its worth. Just wondering if the steam report is the right channel.

It's just a flame butterfly, I would let your inner kleptomaniac suffer a little for a bit. Normally the tree is destroyed by tricking the boss into ramming against it.

So on the subject of bell pvp, I spent all night backing people up in Luna by having beaten the gargs, and using their area as a safe point. I find that stepping in, letting it fog up, then going through the fog wall to disengage will buy you a minimal amount of safe time and I run through the hole, down to the stairs going to floor 2 and I put my sign just at the top of there. It's about a 60-40 chance I can get back without my sign disappearing. I didn't spend much time in Belfry Sol, is there any safe zones like that you can get in, sign, and get out quick to help back people up?

When infusing weapons I should be looking at the ATK rating on the info page 2, not the damage on page 1, right?

Had one dude at the belfry who was using an infinite health cheat. Since it's a spot where the PvP is more about just being a douche, I let it slide. Also, keeping him spam-stunlocked with dual cesti for like five straight minutes was actually sort of fun. Anyone who had the faintest clue would know how to handle that, but when you're bad enough at the game to where you need to cheat, you're just begging to be griefed.

I found a piece of armour that says "resistance: fire" and has enormous pauldrons. Does it have any hidden resistance to fire or is the fire resistance displayed on the equipment screen all I can expect? Also, of course I get that armour like half an hour after I upgraded the lesser version of it to +6.

Any tips for the three sentinels in the Lost Bastille? I've died so many times to them now that all the minions between the bonfire and the fog door has gone extinct (Which was a relief, gently caress when you mispulled and got five guys swarming you at once). I can easily deal with the first on the ledge, but when the two remaining ones attack me at once I end up pretty dead.

I can easily deal with the first on the ledge, but when the two remaining ones attack me at once I end up pretty dead. Try to use phantoms if you can, it makes it much easier. You basically have the gist of the fight down if you're already dealing with the first guy on the ledge. Also, from your description of the spawns, it seems like you aren't using the shortcut to the boss (from McDuffy's fire, go forward, turn right shortly after the big guy who previously tried to kick the barrel down the stairs at you, then simply run and drop down into the door in the wall), which would save you a lot of time running back. Handy youtube of the shortcut in question If you're dying enough that the enemies have stopped spawning, it's probably a hint that you should try a different area for now, get some levels in.

One more thing to add, if you have any ranged capabilities whatsoever, stay on the ledge and snipe the remaining two as much as you can.

So I've just recently started playing, killed I cleared out a big part of the huntsman's copse and decided to buy the Cat Ring. Then explored the pit in Majula. Got to the bonfire down there, explored the rat place, fought an NPC phantom, homeward boned away from the rat spam thing, and then went exploring further down the hole, eventually getting to these suicide bomber guys that I managed to escape from alive. Didn't see what was in that chest across the bridge, though. I refrained from picking up the thing inside. For some reason the fact that it was slightly off center worried me, and I ran away from it after opening it and fell down into the suicide bomber area. After that I plunged deeper and found The Gutter. Cautiously leapt past the poison spitting things onto the wooden house or whatever below, and tried to make my way down to the bonfire I could see. Then I stepped on the wrong part of the house and it crumbled under my feet, plummeting me to my death with no chance of knowing that was there or how to avoid it. I lost 6000 souls trying to get back there, the souls I had made killing rats and exploring. It's not a lot, but, my point is... Dark Souls 2 recognizes what the first game did that made it interesting: a lot of times it subverts your expectation by throwing traps at you when you don't pay attention, whereas in most games you could just phone it in and ignore everything around you as long as you could do the combat, etc. I like that about the first Souls game, but I feel like 2 just mimics it in a sort of tonedeaf way. I dodged all of the albeit funny/clever traps up until that point and then died from something I could not predict no matter how smart I played. Feels dumb and makes me sad because I feel like I should trust the souls games to be fair and play by their own rules. I closed the game right after. Just felt gross. Mostly Fake Edit: I also feel like this rapier is super OP but
