Bah, as soon as I get the Sorcerer and Pyromancy achievements - which'll net me Darkest Soul - I'm restarting and going with a hybrid character (Deprived start, raise each stat by one point in turn so they're all equal) in the Covenant of Champions. At SL 180 my Blue Flame dual wielder is just too powerful and I don't feel like I'm using all the tools at my disposal, which is a bit of a shame. I'd simply respec to a hybrid with her but that'd be cheating, given the massive advantage in gear, etc, I have now. :darksoulproblems:

nohopeindope posted:I just beat the game for the first time. What should I get done before going into NG+? Also, if I want to experiment with a melee build should I roll a new character or respec this one? Probably best to kill everything optional on NG rather than NG+. It's probably not worth it to kill Vendrick but if you play long enough you'll want to try his loot so might as well do it now. I'd respec to physical myself rather than making a new character but it depends on how much you like starting new games I guess. 40/40 STR/DEX is pretty good. Or spec for whatever weapons you think look interesting. I think 50/25 or so will let you wield everything except the giant's club, aside from stuff with FTH/INT requirements. Either raise your vitality to the moon or bring it to 9 and wear Flynn's ring, depending on your preference. Shoot for at least 100 agility, which should be 25 or 26 ADP depending on your ATT. Before NG+ upgrade everything you might ever possibly want to use since you can buy infinite titanite and stock up on extras just in case. Kill every crystal lizard, buy 999 arrows, repair powders, etc since it's awhile before you can get those again. I'd farm the dragon butts with heads to extinction in the DLC if you have it too, netted me about 20 dragon bones. Maybe do the same to Amana if you have a lot of twinkling stuff but probably that's not worth it, better to ascetic dragon aerie or something. Also make all your boss soul trades.

I found this really thorough ng wrapup post linked in one of the threads, just gonna' quote it herequote:-Maxed your estus at 12 chugs of +5. The game has 12 shards (so if you get them all you’ll have 1 spare) and 5 Sublime Bone Dusts (so no spares)

Dear Lords of the Souls, I request your help. I've been slogging through this game bit by bit for the past month and I've just gotten past Velstadt. I've been playing through the entire game with a (now magic infused) mace and occasionally a bow because.......... I don't know really. What do I do next after Velstadt and would you recommend any weaponry in particular? I started out as a swordsman but for some reason went strength instead of dex. I'm currently 44STR 20DEX with decent chunks gone into VGR, END and VIT at level 138. Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Aug 2, 2014 |

If I want to pick up magic just for weapon buffing in PvP and I'm not using any weapon with built in nonphysical damage is there any reason to not go full utility with the Black Witch's Staff? Does anyone know what stats you need to make the various buffs last their max durations now?88h88 posted:Dear Lords of the Souls, I request your help. You could effectively use the Red Iron Twinblade with those stats, which is a very powerful and interesting weapon which is pretty drat different to that mace. It has high base damage so it's good for infusions, too.

If you hit their natural requirements you get the 'full' duration. Extra stats increase the buff length, but not by a huge amount as far as I'm aware.

The Sol Bell is there but it's hard to tell if either Bell actually has anything to do with the kingdom currently there, or if they were just there and nobody wanted to gently caress with the gnome dolls to get rid of them. I like to think they've been there for centuries and every kingdom that pops up just considers them those weird assholes living in their basement/attic.

Is it explained how the Old King survived the Smelter's attack? I thought the latter is said to have outright destroyer the former when it first awoke.

I think all the weapons tell the story of how he popped up from the mountain, hosed the king up, and then threw him down into the mountain where he was transformed into his current body.

Technically the Old Iron King in the game isn't the Old Iron King, it's a demon named Ichorous Earth formed from a demon and the king's souls merging.

The first time I went through the Iron Keep I was invaded by a "Smelter Demon" that wore a Smelter Set and set fire to its sword when its health was sufficiently low. He appeared right under my nose right as I was about to exit the room with the trap floors and the mimic guarded by two Ironclads on a destructible bridge. Was that guy an NPC or a gimmick human invader? I (barely) survived the fight on my first attempt by kinda just panic-wailing on him in the very narrow space near the exit, and I can't find any references to this guy online.

Some guys on 4chan started posting hex IDs for some incomplete spell data in the game (has no icon or description, but works if you replace another spell hex). One also started posting extra moves but there's too many of those to bother with, so I just offer you this: http://a.pomf.se/fhdxyl.webm Spells: http://a.pomf.se/bqqvsd.webm http://a.pomf.se/yhfvxa.webm http://a.pomf.se/wzacak.webm (and vs mob http://a.pomf.se/fiilrp.webm ) http://a.pomf.se/pvonnr.webm http://a.pomf.se/uyamml.webm http://a.pomf.se/vqtnvs.webm Unrelated but funny: http://a.pomf.se/tcqpgm.webm

I was sort of hoping nobody else would dig around the spell area. Hoo boy. I think those are spells they plan to throw in for the next DLCs. Mind PMing the list of extra moves? I did notice that the player-accessible movelist had notably expanded, but I was distracted by other things. I am on vacation from Dark Souls currently, but will take a look when I get back.

Alpha Phoenix posted:I have never seen an actual "Crit Scaling" list for weapons, but here's a few numbers for whatever its worth. The issue with those numbers is that the individual animations have their own attack modifiers. Like, daggers? They pretty much all have their own movesets if I recall right. They could very well have seemingly identical backstabs that have a number tweak.
