Oh man, the Blue Flame sword you get from the shades in the crypt is awesome. Doubles as a melee weapon and a sorcery catalyst, and enchanted with greater magic weapon, it does some serious damage with spells.

Volt Catfish posted:By the way, another question: Is there any viable equipment or progression for somebody who wants to do All Magic, Ever? Its kinda wonky, to be sure. It helps if you have the preorder DLC and the transgressor's staff, otherwise you have to use the lovely sorcerer's staff or whatever for a long time. Black witch's is really good, until then you kinda have to get by on the hex staves until you can get the shrine of anime staff. So there are definitely some okay staffs to get you by through the game if you're going pure magic, by no means do you have to go miracles to go pure magic, you can do pure sorcery or hexes, but the best one is at the end yeah. Attestant posted:You have two hands with 6 weapon slots total. I'm sure you'll figure out some way to have both a staff and a chime equipped. Woosh! Somebody misunderstood the question. No doubt people are going to try to recreate that effect, but there's only so much you can do in post-processing. Those screenshots look like total rear end. Still, torches are pretty drat useless right now, other than in the gutter. Maybe somebody'll come up with something better than just turning the brightness way down and washing out all the colors.

I think it's some kind of cosmic miracle that I've only run into 2 legitimate hackers in DS2 so far. Dude was so bad he couldn't hit anything and then just disconnected his internet when he realised we were just going to stunlock him forever so he couldn't leave the bell tower.

CJacobs posted: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. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure online portions don't need to be rated (which is why you'll see the dis-claimer "online interactions not rated by the ESRB" in a lot of games).

Honestly I just used the Archdrake Staff/Chime (available from Felkin before the Huntsman's Copse, so obtainable after killing Dragonrider) as soon as I could get them up until basically the end of the game where you get a "this is clearly the best" magic-only sorcery staff.

Is there any way to get a vendor with an unending supply of green herbs? I ask because I summoned a guy shirtless, fat and tanned guy named Cheech who just chain used green blossoms then ran off a cliff. Edit: Seriously he must have gone through 20, I'm at the hosed up spooky forest with the fat guys with hooks and have only found like five.

I've defeated the four big bosses but I'm missing the soul from the spider, am I meant to have one? I definitely didn't eat it, I've not touched any of the boss souls. The big spider before the man in the library. Also I assume the 'symbol of the king' doors should open for me now, although I don't have anything in my inventory like that?

What's wrong with the sorcerer's staff? I thought it had better Magic scaling and cast speed than transgressor's. Worse Dark scaling, but still it's good for sorceries. Did I misunderstand the way the stats work? Because I've been using Sorcerer's the entire game so far.

Ornifex sells an unlimited supply after that. Captain Diarrhoea posted:I've defeated the four big bosses but I'm missing the soul from the spider, am I meant to have one? I definitely didn't eat it, I've not touched any of the boss souls. The big spider before the man in the library. You should have one for that boss yes. The "symbol of the king" doors aren't meant to open for you yet. You'll need to go to the Shaded Woods bonfire. When entering that bonfire's room, there should be staircases on either side of you, and three paths. Take the one on the left and you'll come to a Flexile Sentry mini-boss fight, and a place called The Shrine of Winter which will now open for you and let you get past the insurmountable pile of rubble.

For hexing Sunset Staff is the best in the game, esp. with dark infusion (it hits sorceries but who gives a gently caress when you wield the dark).

This is true but honestly by endgame PVE I felt like Great Lightning Spear and Great/Resonant Soul outclassed the staff-based hexes to the point that I didn't bother devoting a weapon slot to a hexing staff.

Wait but I unlocked her and I only just started Drangleic Castle, hell I even unlocked her before killing The Duke's Dear Freja. So either I've broken the game or you're wrong? Unless final boss means something beside 'the absolute last boss in the game in terms of the story'

Because I've been using Sorcerer's the entire game so far. I remember testing it and transgressors and finding it hit much weaker, but I'm not a master of the mechanics myself. It certainly doesn't seem bad, but IDK didn't seem great to me. I remember Archdrake and Transgressors and Amana staffs all hitting harder. But YMMV.

Does she sell an unlimited supply of Green Blossoms for you right now? The Wiki says she only carries 10 until you defeat the final boss. I never said anything about unlocking her, just going off what the Wiki says is the trigger for her to start carrying unlimited Blossoms.

Also it's just because you said 'requires you to kill the final boss' I just assumed that for the wording.

Hurrah for skeleton! Yeah I thought that one was pretty cool, it was a nice changeup from the battles beforehand, it had a pretty different mechanic / strategy for a dark souls boss but it was pretty intuitive to figure out (Don't kill them all as fast as you can, for once) and the lords themselves had a pretty cool look going on. That said the real boss of that fight was The Bonewheels

Hurrah for skeleton! I love that fight because of how you learn it. "gently caress three skeletons at once? gently caress better burn some HP off them while they are coming down. Oh that was easy, maybe it's a joke boss. Oh gently caress bone wheels! Better get the other lords down before I die. poo poo there are more skeletons now what the hell." And then you figure out what happened and it's not a bad fight at all.

RBA Starblade posted:You'll like the gutter. The torch makes that area totally manageable, honestly. It lights such a massive area around you, even having to one hand isn't really a huge handicap. I managed to make it through to the next area in two deaths, total. I had been ignoring my torch the whole playthrough though, so I had like 55 minutes of duration on it and could just keep it on the whole way through. For others that might not be the case.
