You really want the fifth. If you stay behind his left foot his wide swing won't hit you. Also the real dark souls starts here learn2dodge for real now

RBA Starblade posted:Ok maybe I'm not beating Vendrick. GRS does diddlysquat, any attack guard breaks me (and has absurd tracking), any attack does 80% of my health. And I have 4 giant souls! Which is double defenses, which is way more than double HP. Go drop an aesthetic in the black gutter and kill the two giant barbarians again.

quote:Also the real dark souls starts here learn2dodge for real now Yeah it's not anything about the fight itself, it's that I'm bad at timing the dodge, even with 100 agility. quote:Which is double defenses, which is way more than double HP. Go drop an aesthetic in the black gutter and kill the two giant barbarians again. I didn't think those respawned with ascetics. I'll do that, I have like six remaining. Can I get more than five total then? Will over five do anything? I think I'll let the dragon go since no one seems to actually enjoy fighting it, but I could go grab the giant lord's again I guess. Think I'll start a melee dude up in the meantime though. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 01:34 on May 8, 2014 |

I wasn't being serious, which is why I told you how to avoid his worst attack without dodging. Another way to get the fifth soul is to kill the Ancient Dragon but that fight is the worst in the game. You can get more than 5 giant souls but that doesn't do anything for you.

It's sad that Kalameet was such a great fight and then they completely threw that out the window with the drakes/dragons in Dark Souls 2.

If it's really that pointless, then gently caress this stupid fight. So far it's one of the clearest illustrations that dev teams and philosophy switched.

I made a new Warrior character, and the first Petrified Something I gave the crows granted me the Old Whip. Is it really good enough for me to race to 20 Dexterity? It has low durability, for one thing. Also, I swear I just managed to deflect a firebomb thrown at me by a Hollow Soldier with a swing of my sword. Please tell me that wasn't a fluke, but rather a feature.

I think it's more likely that the devs were obligated to add a pre-order bonus so they took a bunch of existing weapons, slapped some poo poo on them, and called it a day.

It's loving useless but it's still neat that they actually put that in.

Also worth noting is that the JP pre-order bonus was significantly more restricted. Depending on which store you ordered from, you would get one "pair" of items (i.e. Black Flamestone if you ordered from Besto Buy). But their CE was so much cooler.

The most impressive projectile parry I've seen was when a ruined sentinel knocked one of the other sentinels shield toss away into the wall.

It has low durability, for one thing. I tried the old whip for like 30 seconds before dropping it. It loses about 4 durability for hitting walls, so have that stock of repair powders.

You can still do that to Gyrm axes and Hollow firebombs and it's pretty awesome to do. Re; Old Whip, only use it for PvP. It does incredible damage when upgraded but unless you're getting the PvP win repair bonus or resting at a bonfire you need a regular whip.

I know this is a cool place for supportive people but I have to ask a question about invasions. If you kill 3 phantoms but then lose to the host do you get points for BoB covenant? I know you get points for killing blue sentinels but im not sure about others.

Is there any kind of chart showing general SM ranges for bosses like there was for SL in Dark Souls 1? One thing I liked doing in Dark Souls 1 was just parking some characters at certain bosses (Capra, O&S, etc) and helping people every once and a while, but it was a lot easier to get SL ranges than to guess relative SM. Please don't start another SL vs SM coop/PVP debate.

As far as I know you do not get points for phantoms. e: SM is much more smeared out than soul level, so you're guaranteed to get hits at pretty much any SM higher than the one you reached the boss at. I got regular hits for Smelter Demon all the way from 9k to the 12M I'm at now. Domattee fucked around with this message at 02:14 on May 8, 2014 |

gently caress this piece of poo poo king giant. I'm up to Bonfire Ascetic 5, and he can kill me in one hit. It wouldn't be a problem if these goddamn giants would get crushed by the statue like they should be. This is the first time I had a problem with the fog. It obscured a majority of the first hit the giant king would do. I know it's always a overhead smash, but poo poo, man, let me get to the platform already so i can start the fight proper. A lot of these bosses just have intentionally bad design.

Was that what was supposed to happen in that fight? For me they kept taking little to no damage (I mean like 5 hp a hit) from the explosions until I stopped waiting and killed them with dark orb. The explosions alone made the guy more of a threat than Nashandra; I got cursed but took like no damage from it for some reason. Her laser hit me once, but those were the only two attacks she did.

Orv posted:Re; Old Whip, only use it for PvP. It does incredible damage when upgraded but unless you're getting the PvP win repair bonus or resting at a bonfire you need a regular whip. 1. You are dual-wielding it alongside another whip. 2. You have repair attuned. 3. You have the bracing knuckle ring on. So it's not easy, but you can make it work.
