doing the kirkhammer jumping attack is super satisfying in a way that other weapons cant match

most of the 2h l2's i can think of are extremely good, or at least fairly useful relative to the rest of the moveset

dno about that.. the only button i press with the beast claws equipped is r1 or backstep + r1 :D

jumping attacks my favourite attacks in every souls game. what they did to them in ds2 was a crime even if they were intensely powerful in ds1

anyway, i'm a little drunk, so i'm going to try UDG until i merk him

i have found that souls games are like a foreign language in that when you are a little tipsy you stop worrying about the details of the mechanics and just let the game flow through you, and you easily destroy obstacles that used to confound you.

L2 builds beasthood way faster and hits a wider area. idk what beasthood buildup looks like after the patch though so it may not be as necessary anymore

I beat the Lost Sinner in DS2 while being interrupted by an important phone call, so I could only half pay attention. Definitely some Zen or otherwise mysterious Oriental thing going on there.

Thanks all, I needed it to get my sleep schedule back on track; had a frightening moment when j woke up at 3am and couldn't feel my arm because I fell asleep on it and had to use my other arm to pump it like an old water pump to get blood flowing to it again.

Anyway I haven't gotten any further in chalice stuff because I booted the game up last night and remembered I needed to find or farm some ritual blood to open the ailing loran dungeon and I wasn't in the mood. I'll get the plat some day

I hate farming chalice mats, especially since they broke down a lot of them into like 10 tiers of bullshit...

TOMB MOLD 4 x 15
RITUAL BLOOD 5 x 9
Etc

Wish you could break down or combine them, or bloodstone for that matter

I get all pumped up from killing a final layer boss that was hard only to find I can't make a new chalice because I'm missing 1 baby arm and my magic blood is too powerful

It's dumb and idk why they did it...should have made the only require the chalice and then have the mats be usable for the optional modifiers (which actually is a neat idea)

Sometimes this happens and sometimes I've explored everything and I'm like one or two away because I didn't get a drop. The big guys guarding the switch on a given level seem to always drop something, but it doesn't seem to be guaranteed

i picked DS1 back up so i could fight Gwyn and get pumped up for DS3, and i think i killed him with like 5 jumping attacks with the black knight halberd

heavy weapons and big hits felt so great in ds1 and im stoked for their return

i was watching a video of a person new to the series fight the cleric demon, and they shot it in the head until it staggered and then did viscerals. i've never approached that fight that way at all, and it's like ten times hard then just hitting it in its legs. but it's cool that there's so much variation.

also, i wonder if new people having trouble with that fight is because they back off and don't get right in its guts to hit it, because nearly all of its attacks only work from that angle

I heard ds3 is gonna have different weapon forms or styles, it'd be pretty cool if they made that work like the transforms for weapons in bloodborne where you can switch mid fight or even mid combo
