Thank you so much. I spent like 20 minutes looking for this, and couldn't figure it out. It's annoyingly hard to find the mapping between the in-game "press X" and a key on the keyboard.

I hear ya. I can't get this offbrand PS3 controller to work for myself, so I've learned to M+KB it. I actually have grown comfortable with it and I like it over the controller (considering I had it working with DaS1).

Have you tried it while running DS3 Tool, set to Xbox 360 emulation?

Wow this is a really cool way to think about the memories that I didn't really consider

quote:

Vendrick returns – but the Giants, consumed by vengeance and with wills of steel, follow. They lay siege to Drangleic Castle, Vendrick's armies are destroyed, and the kingdom begins to fall. What exactly causes the destruction of Drangleic? The Giants do their part but are stopped, in typical Souls 'screw the timeline' fashion, by the player character in a series of flashbacks.

What I like most about PC controls is that you can run and still be able to look around, which can be super convenient. The ease of a controller makes up for it though.

You just have to wait a while, a gravestone should appear and you can talk to him by offering souls.

Or you could go to the other belfry. Unless you murdered them both, there's another guy who will let you join the Bellbros (one for each belfry).

Go to Shaded Woods. You can't enter the giants' memories with the King's Ring alone.

Put the ring on and go to the big black door in Shaded Woods (I think it's on the middle path from that bonfire with the three doors). There are others in Forest of Fallen Giants and Drangleic Castle, but those are more endgame stuff. The used to say something like "Produce the symbol of the king" when you approach, but wearing his ring will make them open.

Wait, killing the giant king in a memory somehow translates into the player stopping the giants in the past? That seems unlikely.

Seems like a pretty standard time loop setup to me.

Also, a question directed at nobody in particular: What are some good faster swinging weapons for a faith build? I'm looking for a sidearm to pair with my Defender's Greatsword, something a bit speedier to use against most honorabuuuuu katana users.

I didn't see it myself either, but apparently it opens a gate at the very end so you can leave the area.

Thats a surprisingly good write-up, I'd say. Kind of surprised to see it featured there, but it seems that the writer took an active interest and overall its solid. Shared it with a few friends. One replied with a PVP video of them dieing due to lag. The other told me how much he hates the Shrine.

Watch the Last Giant's cutscene again and notice it has a "YOU" moment followed by it getting super pissed-off.

That would be it, thank you! Of course the subtle shift in stance didn't telegraph it for me enough. I knew how to 2hand things but I didn't realize it was the same key to dual wield. :raise:

(Ctrl+Middle Mouse button works too. Press for Right hand, Hold for Left Hand)

Ok, that would be fine if there actual time travel involved. But no matter how you slice it it doesn't make any sense that by interacting with a memory you're changing things in the present, past, or anywhere in time or space. It's a memory.


I think the article writer took the gameplay concession of allowing the player to take loot/souls from the memory as an indication that the player's action there we're actually occurring in the real (game) world. That's seems kind of dumb for what is otherwise a pretty good article.

It's also extremely unlikely to be a coincidence that the Last Giant happens to be the only other super tall skinny gangly giant besides the Giant Lord and that the two of them have incredibly similar movements and attacks. And that you fight it roughly below where Memory of Jeigh takes place(Pursuer's arena is the actual bridge in Jeigh).

It's because the Last Giant is the Giant Lord and he recognizes you. :ssh:

The stone soldiers in Drangleic Castle are a pretty good source when you need a slab. It's not common, but they do drop them more often than most things.

Drangleic Shield.

It's pretty much the best you can get early on. Trivializes things like Ruin Sentinels.
