I got really disappointed a couple minutes ago. I was bellbroing it up and ended up fighting a hacker, and even kicking him from the top of the tower in Belfry Sol didn't kill him  And then I couldn't make the jump to the side wall so I couldn't even be annoying that way Kaldaris posted:

Sol is a favorite place for annoying players for that very reason. There isn't much geometry you can use to kill them if they hack and a lot of people love to use the huge pillars to hide and heal and draw out invasions as long as possible.

Really, No Man's Wharf felt like the one place in the game that really needed a real shortcut. I thought that the pier with the magic dude (sorry don't know his name magic is for losers) would have something that clears or bypasses the rubble on the docks. You can always run by all the enemies, though. You can go from the bonfire to the boss without killing anything if you really want.

Control Volume posted:In a strangely predictable turn of fate, poor fellow Goonsir was overcome by ANIME. I know it was one of you assholes.  That was me. I was trying some duels for the hell of it. I got punched to death twice, then out-stamina'd and annihilated by I assume you. Edit: I was on Skype giving a play by play to a buddy of mine. He said word for word what somebody already said a few posts earlier: "Welcome to PvP" as I was complaining about the ridiculously unexpected reach of a katana and how some guy poisoned me with fist weapons.

Broken Cog posted:Yep. When you've killed the rats, the boss is basically won, as he's incredibly easy to dodge. You think so? I found him super hard to dodge. That charge is really fast and doesn't have a smooth tell -- yeah he lower his head, but then just pauses there for a sec before BAM he's on you.

Here's how you beat the Royal Rat Authority: stand under him. None of his attacks can even hit you and his health is a little garbage for a boss so it goes down fairly quick.

 47 hours, 2.3M Soul Memory later, I finished my first run. Basically only using vanilla tier weapons. I wish the longsword had more legs on it, because halfway through the game, I switched to the mace and didn't really look back (yes, the flanged mace from the Majula blacksmith). I'm still missing at least half a dozen bonfires, I don't believe I've found or played with all the covenants (still rank 0 in all of them), fought all the optional bosses or found some NPCs like the one guy who lets you trade in the bigger boss souls for stuff for starters. I kinda cheated and had to use a Great Club to fight the Belfry Gargoyles though. Kinda want to jump into using magic with a new character. Maybe I'll just migrate this character from using boring-tier weapons into huge fuckoff tier weapons this time.

Like many others, I've discovered that the true endgame in Dark Souls 2 is stripping naked, summoning dragonbros on the Iron Keep bridge and punching them until one of us dies.

I get the impression (based on the heavy use of the torch, the larger gap between bonfires and the overall high quality of the place) that it was one of the first areas they finished. One of my favourite bits of the game so far.

If this game were gameplay-moddable then the one thing I would wish for is have a weapon crate appear by the bonfires after you die five times in the shrine, it contains an Shock Rifle with infinite ammo and it plays the Unreal Tournament HEADSHOT sound as appropriate (of course you can just bodyshot people too)

The trick is to hesitate when he ducks his head, don't respond to him lowering his head but wait a few tics, if you keep a 100% phys shield it's pretty easy to learn the timing he has for it and roll through it, pick a few hits on him, back off, repeat.

My favorite is when I summon somebody who's also doing a gimmick build. I just fought a guy named Jesus who was dual-wielding shields and tried to smash me repeatedly.

Cowcaster posted:Souls are added to your soul memory when you collect them. Burn them on spells, toss them into upgrading all your weapons, have the Emerald Herald level you up, lose them all in a bloodstain, do whatever with them, they're already permanently in your bank. Ouch. That makes me a bit spooked of the Resonant spells, then, powerful as they are. Maybe it's RPG Elixir Syndrome at play but it feels like a waste

If they're in your counter on the bottom right, they're already in your soul memory. Not using them to power a spell isn't going to make them any less already in your memory.

Just beat the game and commenced looking through armor sets on the wiki because The Real Fashion Souls Starts Here. I'm kind of disappointed in the selection. I think I'll end up wearing Lucatiel's crap forever.

Well it took a bit of work but the dickwraith dream isn't dead. This is Mennas. He has a set of gear I can actually win arena fights with. He's only SM 650000. This means I can invade tons of people in NG in a bunch of areas. People complain about there being no invasions before NG+. Well, Mennas is going to bring them. At least until I invade some hacker that gives me a million souls and fucks up everything. I still need to spice down silence to complete the cosplay though.
