Some see it as the worst place in the game. That's why I enjoy invading it a lot.

Nashandra's portrait in Drangleic Castle is there just to curse you and let you know there's something up with her right? There's nothing more than that?

teh_Broseph posted:Had a blast in DS1 doing things out of order; finished up NG+ on my first char so time to start that. My rush poison Ricard's and fire BKH run is goin great! The moveset range between 1 and 2 handing the halberd with offhand rapier rocks. 2 handing with the Stone ring staggers bout errything. Big damage on the right, quick poison pokes in the left. Been a lot more comfy in PvP over my great sword/pyro first character and won a lot more bellbro/invasion fights. Dual wielding is working out how I wanted it to soon as I got the tracers in DS1. Only downsides are the BKH starting to lose some steam once I made it back to Iron Keep since I can't find twinkling to upgrade it and guhhhh trying to pump the stats to power stance is hurting a bit in other areas.

And please this isn't a HUR get gud scrub type post. Like where do you keep dying? I always tend to most of the time make it to the bridge. I might get smacked or two depending on if I can outrun the one phantom who drops in front of me near the beginning of the bridge.

You can change jumping back to the Dark Souls 1's style if you want, though both kind of suck and I think the left stick press is the lesser of two evils.

If you can tear yourself away from the controller, it's actually easy as poo poo to land jumps with M+KB.

I really don't like pressing in the analog stick for jumping, but when I changed it back to the DS1 version I was having a huge problem of failing jumps altogether when I'd end up rolling off of cliffs instead. It feels like the timing has changed. The new way is at least safer because you can jump immediately after beginning to sprint.

I've run into a bit of a philosophical conundrum regarding Bluecop invasions. Say I crush an orb, and I get summoned to the belltowers. Am I justified in hunting down the bellbros first, or does my mark take precedence? In essence, is it more important to deliver retribution to crimes past, or to stop crimes currently in progress? However, if Drangleic allows "stand your ground" laws, then the bellkeepers are perfectly justified in defending their property... ...I'm too far gone. This is the only life I've ever known, and I've walked the beat so long that saint and sinner have lost all meaning. My duty is to the law, and all who stand in my way will face divine judgement and my righteous fury. Umbasa.

After a decent break to clear my head I went back to Darklurker today (I'd previously burned through all my Human Effigies, mostly dying to the stupid abyss phantoms) and finally beat it. I think it really ended up being the hardest boss in the game for me, mostly because even once I knew how to avoid all its attacks, I would keep screwing up once it splits apart. Three times I had it down to one hit and once I even died WHILE landing the final blow. But it's finally done and now I can truly feel like I'm done with this game.

I'm trying to get a bloodied whip in NG. I farmed the two whip carrying torturers until they didn't respawn. I tried to use an ascetic on the bridge approach bonfire but the game told me I had to kill the area boss first. So I went and cut down the skeleton lords, doubled back to the bridge approach, used the ascetic, and the torturers aren't back. Are these assholes controlled by the undead purgatory bonfire?

Decided to start my morning with some bridge dueling action, and what do I see lying in the middle of the bridge, in my world, before I've even connected to anyone? Piles and piles of 98 Souls of Brave Warriors. I delete the stack I pick up, and drop my red sign. The next few fights led me to believe that, maybe, just maybe, others might have put those souls to use on their characters.
