Can someone tell me what the second number in a weapon physical attack is supposed to be? Is that the damage it inflicts on a follow up attack or something? EDIT: Right after posting this I figured it out

I thought purple bros automatically got summoned to sessions that had multiple phantoms in them. Basically, a covenant built around interrupting an invasion or coop session for the purpose of sewing confusion. If those summon signs are the only way to bring them in then nobody is gonna bother with them in about a week.

This is how all the covenants work basically, with the covenant sigil modifying the multiplayer interaction in some way.

Yeah, this happened to me, too. Me and the other phantom just did the Collapse gesture a couple times before I black crystaled.

From the blacksmith, turn around so you're facing away from him. The sorcerer set up shop to the left of you, below the bridge, and has some candles and books around to signify his "spot".

Boy it sure feels weirdly nostalgic and pathetic to run into an enemy that schooled you in Dark Souls 1, then basically get your rear end kicked again. ...or rather, get hit once for 3/4 of my health bar leading me to run away in a blind panic. It even chased me to the other side of the map.

Thank you to the goon that mentioned the holding up or down on the d-pad. It's pretty fuckin sweet to be able to load up on items, and still switch to your flask right away. I wasn't really into the weapon skills until I got a shield that let's you use them instead of a parry.

Blind Rasputin posted:I'm at the first main level high wall and I've found and beaten most of the secondary guys. I've found a lot of loot and talked to the thief and Emma. But the red caped knights loving ruin me no matter what. How do I fight things like that? You have to learn timing. Roll looking for backstabs or other openings. You can parry them also. They are very difficult don't beat yourself up over it. Avoid them for now. quote:How in hell am I supposed to fight the Vordt of the Boreal valley too? It one hits me immediately and there's no room to dodge at all. Two hand you weapons and focus on staying underneath him. His charges are his most dangerous move. He only has one smash that hits under him and nothing hits behind him. In other words: Use sword but hole I unlocked and just wailed on his rear end but I watched a friend do it earlier using lock-on. Save stamina for rolls. quote:
Walk down to the floor with the knight and thief and you can drop down to the two thief level and walk right our the door. Run outside all roll and roll and run across the rooftop and down the ladder. Go to the left and fall onto the pavillion taking minor damage. Rush down the stairs past everything trying not to gently caress up and get hit and hit the fog wall. It takes about 2 minutes. I had to do it probably 20 times (my friend too) because he kept kicking my rear end.

The mound makers covenant is a really cool idea with one major issue keeping it from working in practice: there's no reason for a purple phantom to help the host. In theory, purple phantoms are a mixed bag that can help the host or murder him, act as a white or red phantom, etc. However, the purple phantom gets covenant rewards only for killing the host or killing white/blue phantoms, and gets no benefit for killing regular enemies or even red or other purple phantoms. They also cannot enter fog gates, so they cannot help fight bosses (which would almost negate the purpose anyway since 90% of non-japanese players summon only for boss fights and not full area runs) or do the obvious-but-still-funny thing of killing the host just before they defeat the boss. In practice it's just a different, albeit cooler, color to take on for invasions, with the added benefit that some players might summon you on their own because they don't know what a purple phantom is or don't realize that you aren't rewarded for doing anything but killing them.

Harrow posted:By the melee buff, do you mean Carthus Beacon? Is it actually any good? I hope so, because it sounds really fun. I haven't independently tested the two, but my friend using an Uchi... +6? and a full dex build now does far less damage than I do with a raw, +4 astora sword. I just need to settle on a fun weapon to meet base stats for and I'm set. Might just go Zweihander, though a dex weapon would be more fun for the extra cast speed, assuming that's still 'a thing'

Blind Rasputin posted:Ok. I'm totally new to this series and so far having fun but getting frustrated. It takes forever and a hundred deaths to traverse a level. I'm also not understanding the scarcity of bonfires relative to my number of estus flasks. I'm getting better at fighting smart but Jesus poo poo this is hard. Buy the white soapstone from the vendor lady in the firelink shrine. Go outside that boss room and use it. Will let others summon you to help them, get practice this way you wont lose souls when you die. Why oh why does coop not refill your potions again!

There isn't any way to redo your character customization is there? I foolishly neglected to give myself a moustache

Found it pretty hard to progress past a certain point on the Lothric Wall (sp?). Found that the area where the dragon breathes fire on all those enemies is a good way to get souls cheaply. It's not cheating if you found it out yourself!

So I got invaded by a guy called "Watchdog of Farron" in the swamp, and I assumed he was an NPC. He used more than 2 estus so he had to be right? But if he was an NPC, how the gently caress could he lag. A bunch of his animation had stuttering issues as if he was another player

man nurse posted:Abyss watchers can suck my loving nuts. How do you guys even do this stuff Two tips: 1) Every so often, a third watcher will appear that is hostile towards to others. Use this opportunity to fight the "real" watcher when the other is distracted. 2) The watcher(s) is/are humanoid. This means they can be parried and backstabbed, unlike most bosses. Use this to your advantage. Spooky Bear Ghost posted:I Believe the benefit to sign invading as a ABSOLUTE MADMAN is that at most itll be a 1v2, since you eat up a friendly phantom slot. This is a benefit to purple invaders trying to kill the host, not to ones who want to help them.

I'm pretty sure reds count. I had an invasion earlier where I was tasked to kill the host or 3 phantoms, and my three phantoms were one white, one blue, and one red.
