There's a corpse in The Memory of Orro that has one and can be farmed using a bonfire aesthetic. The bonefire behind the king's door in the forest of giants can reset the memory levels, so throw an aesthetic on that then head to The Memory of Orro (the tree behind where you fight The Pursuer.)

Holy poo poo, Harvest Valley is terrible. Everything else so far, okay, but that place. Limited area for movement and ambush after ambush. Worse than Blighttown.

A word of warning to invaders/NPC killers: you are going to pay for your sins really loving hard in NG+. I can't go 5 minutes without getting invaded by a blue sentinel with either a sunlight blade or a crystal magic weapon. If you have done invasions and want to actually make any progress in NG+, you're gonna want to make sure you have great magic barrier and the stats to use it.

By the way, another question: Is there any viable equipment or progression for somebody who wants to do All Magic, Ever? I know the Black Witch's Staff can cast all non-pyromancy magic, and then you get a pyromancy glove to go with it and you're good to go, but that staff is pretty close to endgame. Was wondering if there was any earlier equipment that could also suffice, or should I just use miracles or something till I can get the staff?

Look out invaders here comes beefcake chosen undead PUNCHFUCKER. kirbysuperstar posted:You're right, censoring CUNTMASTER69ZORCH is absolutely what is killing Dark Souls. Yeah actually it is. The ban word list is a byproduct of other players seeing your character's name instead of your account name: Through GFWL or Live or PSN, there are already systems in place to prevent offensive crap (which people get around easily). Since they can't monitor it, they took the easy way out to preserve the T rating and avoid offending people's sensibilities. In case you hadn't noticed there's no parsing on the ban word list so anything that contains the letters 'nig' (as in, Knight) in that order is gonna get censored. That's stupid and they were lazy about it. edit: Jack Trades posted:Because censoring Knight Horus, for example, into K***ht **rus is totally fine. This guy said it better.

How does the soul memory thingy work for matchmaking in the bloodbro arena? I decided to give it a try on my latest character and at SM150k the first person I fought had a resonant weapon washing pole and an avelyn, only a couple of people I've fought since have had non-endgame quality equipment. Is the only practical way to get those cracked orbs on NG really by farming from enemies?

The bloodstains below are because people 1. got tired of bein' taken for a sucker and 2. underestimated the miracle-fu mastery of a holy snake oil saleswoman. The bloodstains above are a mystery, but probably involve hacking.

Welp, I'm at 1.08 million SM and have only just beaten Smelter Demon. Maybe I'm farming too much!  Seems like 900k+ SM on NG is what it took for red phantoms to finally start happening, though. I just had my second ever invasion.

I'm currently reading through the thread but am about 3000 posts behind the curve. I have a question though, I was just bumming around the tower of flame helping some bros do some damage when I got summoned into a world where all the enemies did a billion times more damage and had about double health. That and there were 2 separate invaders but they were just chilling, there was no '****sucker420supreme has invaded' Can anyone shed any light on what went on here??

I really dont think it's a wonderful boss design choice to have such a small area of maneuvering and walking for the final boss of the Iron Keep. At least he's kinda predictable in his actions. Is the zweihander handy to keep around for long? or is there another mega-sword I should look forward to/invest in?

This game adds NPC red phantoms on higher NG+ levels, they don't get an X has invaded message or anything. efb

Thanks chaps, it was confusing running up to those massive knights and doing gently caress all damage compared to usual. Man it kinda sucks you can get pulled along for something like that when you're not really that good at the game, luckily you don't lose anything though.

The easiest way to fix censoring issue would be to let players chose if they want censoring or not. If you want to see everyone's proper names turn it off, if you're disturbed by NiggaFucker420's everywhere turn it on. That would barely require any programming at all.

Someone on Reddit figured out how to remove name censoring: "If you want an even easier time, copy Game\NGWord\Chinese\win32OnlyNgWord.bin or Game\NGWord\Korean\win32OnlyNgWord.bin over the others, as those two languages have empty word lists. http://mod.gib.me/darksouls2/ngword/ contains the full word censor list for all languages, for reference. "

Asterix's over peoples names isn't a huge deal. These souls I summon can loving do their job and gently caress off back to their world. No one cares about your stupid clever name.
