I assume it's somewhere near the end of the game where people can duel, I just got the the dragon place in my playthrough.

It's not really near the end of the game at all though it is entirely optional if you don't want to get into the BoB/want the Undead Purgatory boss's stuff.

Decided I should nab the Blue Flame for the sake of having it. Go to the bonfire, take a right fight the first guy there. Guess who got a Blue Flame in under a 1 minute of gameplay? This guy. This guy right here. Is it worth using this in PvP?

Though speaking of the BoB arenas, I've been doing them a bit lately and does it get you faster duels to sit at a statue until you get a hit or quit and try again if it doesn't give you a duel right off the bat?

Control Volume posted:Just play a bit to get 1mil soul memory then hang out at the second dragonrider fight at Drangleic Castle. It's piss easy and you'll get hits at up to 1.5mil. Internet Kraken posted:Wouldn't help with OIK, but you could try wearing the Red Eye Ring against other bosses to make them go after you. Thanks for this, will do that! Much more helpful than "haha gently caress you go sunbro in other places you shitlord  ".

Average time between hits is about the same but you can AFK while sitting at the statue.

I just killed a dragonbro in the best way possible in the Iron Keep. I was messing around with my Pursuer's sword, and was down to basically no health. I had it in two hands, and did a backstep-running attack combo on the guy for shiggles to see if it worked - I tanked the hit he dealt me and managed not to die, but in that moment I learned that the 2H running attack on the Pursuer's Ultra Greatsword has knockup. Big time knockup. I launched his rear end right over the bridge into the lava  .

hey, does anyone know of any YouTube channels or whatever with some decent Dark Souls videos? I'm kinda too sick right now to concentrate on playing but I still have it on the brain so if I could watch someone who is interesting/funny/whatever play in the meantime that'd be cool.

THE PWNER posted:Apparently it's from Shrine of Amana/After Velstadt. I'm guessing matchmaking just screwed up and put me up against higher SM people? Or is there an alternate way into Amana I don't know about? There's a way to skip the Shrine of Winter via some tricky jumps and seam walking shenanigans. I'm not sure you can do it without killing over 150k worth of bosses to still get matched with you but that's more about me not feeling like routing it out. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 10, 2014 |

 Got 'em so I can invade lowbie worlds and pretend to be a wall. NOPE, turns out you can't block with them both at the same time, you can just do a cumbersome attack that isn't all that good. Argh I reset that bonfire three times to get those stupid things. And they're garbage weapons in general. Lame! In related news, I just spent a half hour murdering cops at SM 50,000. I am beginning to suspect there's absolutely no system in place to stop cheating, given that this is still pretty close to launch and if they'd be policing their content at any time, they'd be doing it now.

So would it be cool or lovely if The Pursuer did as his name implied and chased you though the entire game with the possibility of showing up any time in any place? I think it could be tense as hell but also maybe annoying and kinda break the whole "this area was designed in this way" aspect of the series. I dunno for some reason I love games with giant monsters that constantly chase you.

I don't enjoy squashing people just trying to do the content. When I get summoned and thers another phantom there, I'll wait till he dies or the host dies. I don't do 2v1 unless the guys an ultra dick (dual havelyner or something), or has summoned other phantoms. I'm a true bellbro!

And I just feel that it's lovely that boss weapons are really difficult to upgrade and tend to demand crazy stat investments but are nearly all shittier than your +10 weapon-you-start-with.
