I understand it's NG++, but why does Lycia need over 5000 health, 2-second heals, an insta-kill physical damage wrath of god, and infinite casts? I'm seriously just going to kill her every time she's at the Tower of Flame where there's a cliff to knock her off, she's just too obnoxious otherwise.

Now I want to dual wield Greatswords. I had no idea that mechanic was a thing, I just assumed that holding two weapons let you chain them until you ran out of stamina, unlike most 1-2 punch combo R1s.

You can stunlock her, though why you feel the need to kill her at all in ng++ is beyond me. She just gives you the poo poo she drops (barring the lockstone that turns the entrance, but why would you even need that) if you have high enough faith anyway.

You'll need a ton of strength and vitality for that.

I doubt you'll get any hits anywhere in NG with that high SM, but try Nashandra. Ancient Dragon might have some people around there since it's bullshit, though I highly doubt that will go the way you want it to. Just go NG+, you don't lose ranks in your covenant and you keep the one you go into your next run with. So you can just drop your sign for the Dragonrider a couple times and go straight for Harvest Valley from there.

So cracked orb invasions don't count towards covenant rank? Has anyone ever actually gotten 500+ VICTORIES?? That's insane. Edit: I just want a pretty aura

Well, turned off region restriction, got five hits and only one of them has managed to not drop themselves off of an edge circle strafing Nashandra.

TheRagamuffin posted:So final body count for today includes Chariot, RRA, and Old Iron King. OIK didn't hit nearly as hard as I expected, so I just tried to stay clear of the edges so I didn't get knocked into the lava. This marks the end of my approximate knowledge of the game's structure, so I'm not sure what comes next. It's super rainy here, so I'm guessing Mirror Knight? I made it as far as the gate to Drangleic Castle before getting killed by elephant men and crossbows. quit spoiling the game for yourself

Do it in ng, you run into way less horribly overleveled people that way. Use Mastodon Greatsword, maybe elemental and buffed. Land a running attack then do r1,r1,r2, will kill basically anyone. Other greatswords or katanas are also good. You could also dual-wield a greatsword and lance; alternating the light attacks (i.e. r1, l1, r1, l1, etc.) allows you to infinitely stunlock people.

Fun fact: Creighton will react to you wearing Pate's gear. He won't attack you, but he'll chuckle and say "I've got you now you dirty rat" and then "Don't scare me like that, I thought you were him".

I am trying to play a dex guy using pokey weapons like estoc and rapier. Does anyone have any suggestions on stats for that build? I figure 40 dex, maybe 40 str. Beyond that, I dunno. I already have a guy that I went str on and used greatswords and he owned. Kinda been a while since I played this. I am thinking no magic or anything like that. Any ideas?

If you don't care about levels, and there is no reason to care, 40/40's the way to go. If you do care about levels 20/40 gives you access to a lot of stuff. I went 26/40 but I don't remember why. Helix halberd and partizan are the funnest dex weapons.

Spooky Bear Ghost posted:gently caress vendrick He's the easiest boss in the game to dodge. He has like three attacks, one of which he can't use if you're close to him and the other two can't hit you if you're behind him. Yeah, he has a lot of health even with five giant souls but he's not hard. Tedious is the word I'd use.

neetengie posted:hug his left leg. When he backs up to the wall, give him room so you can hug it again. Yeah, I figured my problem was that I was getting too thirsty. Also I was using a silly boss weapon (thorn greatsword, which is cool, but slightly non-optimal) So I switched over to a giant warrior club +10 with sunlight sword on it  Figures the old fuckface should get killed with one of those.

With that high an SM your best bet is Velstadt, Throne defender/watcher or Nashandra. I have gotten, somewhat consistent on Velstadt up to Around 4M SM. but bosses before that would probalby not give you any hits.

Putting it by the kings gate bonfire is great because you catch dragon riders too! However, If you're that high and people are still on dragon riders, prepare to carry hard and fast because they are idiots and will always get themselves killed. I've seen a lot of idiots sprint out into the sentinel room, wake up all the statues, and aggro all the sentinels, then die as they all blend them into paste

On a lark I decided to try a sorcerer character for the first time ever in a Souls game and for some reason I'm having a pretty rough go of it with him. Should I pump up STR and DEX enough to use a mace as a secondary weapon?
