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. Relax man, they straight out say at the start of the game that Drangelic is MAAAAAAGIC and TIME IS CRAZY HERE.

Is service down? I checked farfire and it says it's up, but I can't connect. It took them forever to update farfire yesterday so I don't know if it's just me or not at this point. EDIT: Working now. Kiran fucked around with this message at 18:38 on May 7, 2014 |

Annath posted:Tips for beating the Royal Rat Vanguard (mohawk guy) go. The greatsword works pretty good here, even in its base form, assuming you have enough strength to at least two-hand it. The LB attack it a straight overhead swing, which works great for attacking down the lanes made by the statues. LB,LB will usually wipe out anything in front of you. Try to keep the horde by the fog gate opposite the door you came in from; when the Vanguard's health bar pops up, run back to where you came in. He drops into the room there and, since all the rats are all the way across the room, you'll have enough time to get off three attacks on him before the first of his flunkies trundles into attack range. Keep your back to the fog gate while doing that and flip back after your third attack to dodge any attacks, keep him in your sights and get two, maybe three, more LB attacks in as quickly as you can. That should do it. Incidentally, this is a really good place to grind souls if your weapon has a moveset similar to the greatsword, since you can wade in and kill as many rats as you please and, even if you die, your bloodstain is close by and really easy to get to before the rats start coming into the room.

Just spent some time spamming the dried fingers in the Grave of Saints. Some of the ratbros looked like they were trying for serious pvp, some of them were absolutely terrible, some of them were mysteriously absent as I leisurely jogged to the end, and one of them was Kettel and knew how to host a proper loving dungeon. He laid out items as bait and put down paths of prism stones and threw down Gough's carvings. When I saw that I was being summoned into their world for a second time I switched from my murderin' weapon to the claws so we could have a proper funhaver fight, which culminated in a double KO and I didn't even mind that my third dragon ring got broken in the acid. Despite the variances absolutely everyone had both of the drawbridges down, though.

There's absolutely no point to limiting quantities of anything once you've beaten the game. What difference does it make it you hit up Anime Shrine over and over again, or do anything else and just buy ores at that point? It's terribly stupid. quote:And people keep trying to tell me that hitboxes in this game aren't the brokenest poo poo.

Is there a way to reliably play the game with a friend like a half-rear end co-op? I only got to play Dark Souls about 1/4th of the way before GFWL started acting up and finished in offline. If I got a copy for a friend and myself would we be able to summon each other all the time, most of the time, never?

There's a relatively cheap ring that facilitates this but I don't know how well it works.

LORE SPECULATION: Considering the fact that the protagonist starts his journey to Drangleic by jumping into a whirlpool of souls that opens up by the ruined gates of the missing kingdom, it's fair to posit that Drangleic both is and isn't built over Lordran. All of the experimenting done with the lord souls and all that assorted primal stuff within the kingdom basically pulled it into into whatever weird dreamtime Lordran existed in, and Drangleic now exists superimposed over it; aspects of Lordran sort of bleed through into Drangleic, making it all convoluted and weird. My theory, anyways.

Think they're referring to the gate that you open by pulling the switch on one side, next to the dogs, not the locked door-grate you're talking about. I know that I went FoFG > Bastille and had that gate closed for a long time.

As long as you guys are in the same SM range and get the engraved ring and pick the same god, you'll be able to summon each other constantly. It's also the only way Soul Memory makes sense, you'll make different decisions on when to level and what to buy but the person who doesn't level won't end up straight up better than the leveler.

I didn't have it by the time I did it(jumped down pretty early) but I managed it with the Great Sword, after my 10th try probably.

Yodzilla posted:This is pretty great. Is it actually a powerful build too? The grand lance in and of itself is pretty amazing for PvE because it has good reach, high counter damage (I did upwards of 1k damage per hit to the Rotten on NG+) and a lot of poise damage for a thrusting weapon. Dualwielding it is a bit gimmicky since I'm sacrificing a shield slot for a marginal increase in damage, but it looks way cooler.

Does lighting a bonfire do the entire zone or just the small area attached to the bonfire? I ask because I was trying to get that warlock helmet from the mob just outside the singing girls place. If I just made the entire anime zone +3 im going to be fuuuucked.
