Oh man...I've gone practically the entire game without realizing that illusory walls don't work the same way they did in Dark Souls 1. You have to hit A in front of them instead of attacking. Derp.

Manatee Cannon posted:Yeah if you're a caster you're basically hosed because you can't keep an eye on him and the bombs at the same time. You can memorize where they're coming from or you can just have enough health to face tank a hit and hope the boss doesn't murder you before you can heal. Or vice versa and you (somehow, probably because you're checking the sky for fireballs) get hit by his shockwave and then a rock falls on your head. It's absolutely the stupidest thing in the entire game, and that's including the Prowling Magus and Congregation. People complaining about the two easiest bosses in the game make me wonder how they deal with actually hard bosses. P_R_Deltoid posted:Is it intentional that some of the little "safe" areas during the Undead Chariot arn't actually safe at all? I've died three times in a row while sitting in the little cubbies, and I am getting really frustrated. No, it's not, because they are. I can't imagine how you're doing it wrong, but this is Dark Souls so who knows. Tallgeese posted:Yup. Apparently if either of them dies )which is obviously guaranteed), you get a sin even if you didn't touch them. Get a blue sentinal to invade you and kill you. Apparently that lowers your sin.

Zaphod42 posted:You probably weren't far enough back? You should be safe in them. 2 People can fit, but 3 is tough and usually means somebody dies. I've been running into the wall, jumping back into the wall. Anything I can to be as close to the wall as possible. But it just happened a 4th time, in the cubby closest to the lever. Twice. I survived the first one, but the Estus didn't heal fast enough before he came around again.

For some reason the little alcoves can be finnicky and sometimes you still get hit by the chariot even while properly in the cubby. I haven't ever had this problem with the inside track alcoves, so try that if you need to.

A while back someone mentioned knowing that VAC was only activated recently, saying that "the modules weren't loaded" or something. Does anyone know what "turns on" VAC? That is, is VAC disabled when Dark Souls 2 is in offline mode, or is it only disabled when Steam is in offline mode?

You clearly didn't read what I said, because I did in fact state it isn't a hard fight in several times over multiple posts.  Being easy doesn't excuse it being terribly designed, and it is. It is a bad boss fight.

In fashion souls chat I've been running Heide knight all the way, with some chunky gloves for fun. Defender sword is so good I decided to try two, and it works pretty ok. Just enough time in most pvp to light both up and after that you really only need to hit once.

To follow-up on a post I made long ago - faith builds are indeed either excellent for PvE or the game is just easier than Dark Souls. With a +10 lightning mace, stacked casts of the various spear miracles and spell gear (Lion Mage, Clear Bluestone, Hexer's Hood), everything was a breeze. The only enemies that (I think) resist lightning damage are the Lion warriors in Shaded Ruins and the Leydia witches in the crypt. Great Lightning Spear also seems to one-shot a lot of players in PvP; guessing that this is due to many of the new players still being horrible against other humans though.

Especially since you want to fight the first enemy up on the ledge to prevent 2 and 3 from joining in the fight too early. It's just so much easier to hold up a big, heavy shield and face-tank through the sings and then break their ankles with a smashy hammer weapon.

Well I've only made it far as just clearing spooky manor, so like a crazy person I decided to start a new character and get started at the company of champions covenant asap . Oh god this is brutal, spending time getting gud at bosses and no freebie humanities to pull my health up. Made it up to sinners rise, but I kinda want to down belfry first but christ that fight is brutal without upgraded armor. Think I'll drop the covenant once I get 50 awestones. Oh yeah do bosses have attacks they'll use more often against a solo player? I got flattened by the last giant when it basically just toppled forward onto me, I don't believe I have ever seen that attack before while white phantoming.

So, what do you lose when you go to NG+? I'm assuming you lose some keys, but do you lose any boss or giant souls? If so I'll just eat them since there's no "get every weapon" achievement anymore.

Cardiovorax posted:Seriously, what is up with all those weirdly boneheaded design decisions in this game that seem to serve no purpose at all? It looks, by all appearances, that removing sin is what the Pardoner should be doing, the leveled cost is just too high to justify removing aggro all by itself. It's also what the Pardoner in DS1 did. For some reason it doesn't, though, and I can only think it must either be some kind of oversight or a bug. Uh, getting rid of aggro is pretty damned important. It should be that expensive. They should put a message after selecting that option explaining what it actually does, tho.

Jesus christ I literally hunted the turtles in the forest to extinction and didn't get their leggings. I was wearing the merchant hat, prisoners taters, serpent ring, AND used a rusty coin and didn't get them. Does stacking a ton of item discovery somehow cause it to decrease your chances?  Genocyber posted:Uh, getting rid of aggro is pretty damned important. It should be that expensive. They should put a message after selecting that option explaining what it actually does, tho. Why would they not have it remove sin though? And if its just to remove NPC aggro it shouldn't cost anywhere that much given someone is only going to want NPC aggro gone if they attacked someone completely by accident. I can not possibly imagine they intended it to keep sin. It being incredibly expensive makes sense when you think about soul memory, since it means sinners can't just buy their way out of blue sentinel harassment if they want to remain SM efficient. However, not having it remove sin yet cost that much is stupid when the ghost system exists anyways. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 03:38 on May 1, 2014 |

I mean, seriously, if you accidentally tag a merchant or whatever, killing them and then paying the fee for the two or three times you'll actually need to talk to them over the course of the game is so much cheaper it's not even funny.

You hunted the wrong turtles. Later areas have tons of better turtles that drop a less rusty version of the same set.

Played Bloody Knuckles with OIK. My +10 Caestus won.  Of course, even as a melee character, OIK's a chump as long as you watch out for that hole in the back of the arena.
