404notfound posted:For some reason I'm really amused by all the incredibly immature messages that people try so hard to turn into something lewd. "Visions of tight spot..." in front of the Emerald Herald, a whole lot of messages ending in "but hole," and some other miscellaneous stuff that's not as juvenile ("Listen carefully, skeleton"). I left my own in Soldier's Rest in the room with the dead giant: "head but hole." Makes sense if you remember what the giant looks like Dumb messages are the only ones I upvote anymore. Sure I got more free heals from marking a wall or an ambush, but I find more joy putting "Hurray for rolling!" underneath piles of barrels.

Cardboard Box posted:can you also get those 6 respecs again through new game+? I'm wondering just how much freedom I have here Obviously I'm just making an educated guess, but since a true new game+ resets everything about the game to the start state I can't possibly imagine you not being able to get them again. However, I don't think any of them are gained through circumstances which can be reset through a bonfire ascetic, the normal farming method for things.

I just got invaded by a gray and red phantom at the same time in the belltower. The red killed the grey phantom while I hid it out. He then spent 5 minutes waiting for me to come out in the open. He finally decided he was tired of waiting for me and climbed up the roof, only to get torn to pieces by the inconspicuous urn behind him.

I upgrade them as I go and try to distribute my points evenly between Dex and Str but it just doesn't seem like a viable weapon. You're power stancing, right? The power stance left handed light attack is where it really shines.

Well, the Bastard Sword is at +10 now. Thanks Bell Covenant! It does a lot better to counter Estus now. Maybe some more Str/Dex to take advantage of the scaling would help.

notZaar posted:I'll give it a shot. I must have skipped over that part of the tutorial. You need 1.5x the highest weapon's requirements to enter that stance (so for Cestus, you need 15 STR and 9 DEX). If the weapon combo is not compatible with each other or your stats don't meet the requirement, you'll just end up two-handing your left-handed weapon. You'll know you're in the stance when you raise your weapons slightly.

I know the one/two left light is the overall most useful move, but I have a soft spot for the goofy as hell left power attack. Also, the right light attack is really useful for quick strike and move away play.

How do you riposte enemies after guard breaking them? I'm trying to walk up to them and to a light attack before they recover but it comes out like a normal attack.

Artificer posted:The cutoff point for adaptability is 37 right? That's the number to go for? Adaptability isn't really the thing that scales, agility is. You'll want around 95-99 agility to dodge stuff reliably. I guess you can also dump adaptability altogether, and just not roll, but there are some enemies and bosses in the late game that will murder you pretty bad if you don't know how to roll. If you didn't know already, remember that it's better to roll through an attack, not away from it. Jack Trades posted:How do you riposte enemies after guard breaking them? I'm trying to walk up to them and to a light attack before they recover but it comes out like a normal attack. You have to wait like half a second. It's really weird since all you want to do is KILL KILL KILL but you really have to wait a bit before you can do it. The guard break state lasts quite a while, don't worry. Remember that you can only guard break enemies holding their shields up. There aren't that many enemies that are guard breakable, only humanoids with shields.

I just want titanite chunks I find that it takes a while if you do it as soon as you're able to enter the covenant; people are a little skittish about attacking a place where you have to fight two black phantoms, a bunch of evil midgets, and six gargoyles so they come back later when their Soul Total is a little higher.

Artificer posted:Ah. Is there a cutoff point for agility then? It's kind of a mystery. Going from 85 to 99-ish is huge and you will definitely notice it. Going from 99 and up, apparently not so much. Remember that you don't even need any extra frames once you can reliably roll through attacks. Raise it to like 90 at first, then see how much more you need by just playing the game. White Phosphorus posted:So instead of gitting gud there is a stat that makes rolling easier? Casual souls indeed. The roll is really bad until you get enough agility. Like, not really even worth using as a defensive option except as a last resort since it's so unreliable. Minorkos fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Apr 29, 2014 |

White Phosphorus posted:So instead of gitting gud there is a stat that makes rolling easier? Casual souls indeed. It's more that it increases the number of iframes and speeds up other things like item use in combat, where a split second could really count. You can dodge things without leveling adaptability, but you have to be super-precise about timing.
