I personally don't think Amana is unfair, it's just lovely.

BlackFrost posted:How does this work, exactly? Do you throw down a red summon sign near his boss gate and hope for the best? The Mirror Knight gimmick seems like a really cool idea, it's a shame that it flat out doesn't seem to work. Oh, it works. When I fought that boss I had a red phantom invade during it and immediately die. Of course, if you don't die right out the gate you can be a real dick and use Soothing Sunlight to heal the boss and make everyone suffer. It's more interesting than the way they handled the Old Monk at least, but it still falls apart in its implementation. Just like all pvp in this series from the very beginning, really.

404notfound posted:Did I get lucky during the Looking Glass Knight fight? He only tried to summon twice. The first time, I think I guard broke him, and the second time was when I delivered the killing blow. He barely tries to summon, which is another problem with the fight. And when he does there's a 99% chance it'll just be the default lame NPC because not enough red signs are available. Should've just made it so that he would summon anyone standing next to the giant mirror in that hallway leading to him.

Amana has the problem of causing a lot of deaths and also being a real lovely place to die in. You can snipe the casters with arrows, but that gets real tedious real fast when you have to do it more than twice. Whoever was pointing out the inconsistency of which foot-high walls you could walk over and which you couldn't was spot on, also.

Also, I probably messed around with the settings some time before so some of that stuff I have set to application specific, and in the game I'm playing on low.

He summoned like 4 times during my fight because my build is terrible, but each time it was a generic NPC. Given how strict the summoning conditions are and how easily someone can gently caress them up, I'm not surprised.

Graviija posted:I personally don't think Amana is unfair, it's just lovely. Do people think it's unfair? It's just a loving garbage section of the game. You're either taking out the casters veeeeeerrryyyyy sloooowwwllyy one by one as a melee character or sniping everyone (which can be just as tedious), and there's pretty much no alternative. Being forced to trudge through waist-high water adds to how much of a slog the whole experience is.

Kraken no need to act like a smug oval office just because you found it easy. "GET GUD" is the shittiest of come backs. But what does one expect from a sperg who posts the entire day about Dark Souls 2 between sleeping.

Crigit posted:Revenge and justice are not the same thing. No matter how much we try to justify still having the death penalty on the books. I think...this might be the wrong instance to pick that particular battle. We're not talking about an ordered society where Licia can be put on trial and locked up or rehabilitated or whatever the actual gently caress. We're out in the middle of the loving wilderness in ye medieval tymes. Killing her is the objectively correct call  That it incurs sin is plain stupid

I'm not telling you to get good either, I'm telling you to just try a different approach. You don't need to cheese it. You can beat it with melee if you're just willing to adjust your tactics a bit, and I explained just a few posts earlier how to do that. I don't know what your problem is but your awfully obsessed with trying to make me feel bad about playing a game when I really don't give a poo poo.

If you ever have trouble getting summoned, just use a human effigy without removing the sign,, you're practically guaranteed to get summoned that way.

I'm half tempted to lower my SM to play with buddies, but then I'd be V-V-V-VAC'D to oblivion  Anyone know precisely how the one weird engraved-ring works? I'm told it helps massively with Cooping with specific players for Coop etc?

Kind-of-not-really ripping people off makes her a traitor?

On your first play through if you don't kill all the NPC's and jack their poo poo right before the final boss (Cept the map guy) you seriously are dark soulin' it wrong.

Yeah I'm giving up on trying to do anything with the Mirror Knight. Only 3 summons to the actual fight. Meanwhile I get summoned over and over against by the same group of phantoms camping the area. So much for that idea. Maybe I'm outside of the ideal SL range for it but I have no idea what it would be. Seems like someone could gently caress this up at any point in the game if they wanted too.

Have fun getting invaded constantly by Sentinels for bad equipment you can largely get for free without killing anyone, then.  Lucia is a little different in that you can invade her as part of an event like you could Lautrec in the last game, but it still incurs sin this time. Kinda weird that the message for invading her is "invade world of a sinner" but you show up as a red phantom, though.

I had the exact same situation when I tried to help guys out there. Also out of curiosity... anyone else die nearly immediately in NG+ to the Falconeers? That was the PERFECT setup to tell the player "Grats! Now enjoy hard(er) mode!  ". I loved it.

What is the best way to farm Fire Seeds to upgrade the pyromancy flame? I heard that monsters stop spawning after a while in DS2, so i'm not sure if there even is a viable place. Any tips from those who have maxed their flame?

Once you've beaten the game you have enough fire seeds to max out two flames, it's pretty silly. Just keep playing, you find them all over the place and the pyromancer sells 3 of them.

I actually got through Amana just earlier today and it was harder and more frustrating than anything I have encountered so far in the game, including all bosses. You just have to be really careful to not aggro more than two mages at once because then you're toast and might as well suicide to get it over with quicker. The same applies if you draw aggro from the white knights guarding the fog gate while fighting mages. In the end this entire game is just all about patience and this zone is no exception. I'm a hexer by the way so I imagine most other builds would have even more trouble with this. I feel for you guys.

Is there a reasonably obtainable in pairs weapon with the falchion's moveset that isn't ridiculously fragile? It's really growing on me but I had a pair break on me during the not-Ornstein fight. Or am I going to have to suck it up and carry a ton of them all the time?

FauxGateau posted:She totally murdered a saint and stole their pants and their chime in order to fool people. She also tries to murder you on several separate occasions, and given her psychotic serial killing you can only assume she'd have killed others given half the chance. I'm really not seeing the upside to letting this lady live. When the best you can say about somebody is "Hey at least they're not as much of a loving lunatic as Navlaan" you ain't saying much.

Licia is kind of like this game's Lautrec. Doesn't gently caress you over by killing useful NPCs, just goes after you repeatedly. From a few pages back, but, Kanfy posted:At the end of the Undead Crypt, I found that suddenly hearing the sorrowful music as you see the hollowed Vendrick was really quite effective because you're so used to there being nothing but silence everywhere barring Majula and boss fights. No joke, the moment you finally see the King, as you've been told to do from the beginning, is genuinely affecting. Not a word spoken, no (necessary) fighting, just an understated musical piece and that poor, silent, grotesque figure stumbling blindingly in a dark, forgotten tomb.  Wildtortilla posted:Fashion souls time! If you're a sorcerer, I recommend Straid's hood. You get this cool swashbuckling bandit look going. Ravenfood posted:Is there any way to get the Pardoner set in this game? I want that helmet/mask. Yes. It's behind a Pharros door at start of the Dragon Shrine.

Outfits are identical, and it fits the other lore floating around of her hijacking her chime and pretending to be holy. Hence, a Nameless Usurper. In addition to ripping people off on miracles, she's invading and trying to murder folks, including the protagonist. Edit: Man, thread moves way too fast
