TheLastRoboKy posted:Persevere and you'll rock through it in no time, optimal build or not (my build was not optimal). I just did it with basically no armor, a grass crest shield and a +3 fire Astora's. The opposite of optimal and it wasn't even a thing. I don't like the multi-boss (or super large boss) fight mechanics because it makes the camera the real boss, but that isn't the hardest thing the game is going to throw at you. I kinda liked that fight. The Catacombs, on the other hand... yeah. I wish I had a quitout counter because it'd be through the roof after that place. It probably didn't help that I didn't find the mid-zone bonfire until after I found Captain Bracelets.

Question for the end of the fourth area: In the Cathedral, is there a way to re-raise the third gate after the Siegward lowers it to make you fight the giant? I've been looking everywhere but I can't find a lever for it.

turtlecrunch posted:I wished he had gone full goop monster in phase 2 because right now phase 2 is just fiery phase one.  Especially weird since as far as I can tell you're literally standing on his body the entire fight. Would have been cool if he had absorbed you and you had to fight him inside of him like that one Yoshi's Island boss fight. Still, at least the fight is wonderfully atmospheric.

Seriously though. How do you get past the giants in the cathedral? I'm not stupid (at least not all of the time). I am not going to stand under its feet and plink away forever. What's the actual solution?

Ok last night wasn't rolling being good. Last night is the servers not working. The moment a phantom appears the game shits the bed. Just had an invader where we both kept walking out of each other's backstabs. Scholar was almost perfect for connections how did they get worse? e: How does poise work in this by the way because not a single attack, even ones with hyper armor, has NOT been interrupted.

That would have been super cool. And yeah, the entire approach and treatment of him is really great. The sludge creeping up the staircase behind the dead giant blacksmith and then of course all over the grand hall which used to be so pristine really bothered me because you knew Aldrich was hunting something specific before you even saw him.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I figure asking in the thread for the most recent game makes the most sense. Which Souls game is the best for a beginner to start with? I know they're all difficult, but I would think some are considered better starting points than others. Again, apologies if this isn't the right place to ask.

Well, Wolnir was a fun fight, both of my phantoms got oneshot by some sort of fog breath though. Not having any luck finding large titanite shards though, weapon's still just +3. Einwand fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Apr 13, 2016 |

Dark Souls, but you can start with DS3 too (now is a good time to play because the community is vibrant and alive, but all the games have lasting communities), you just might get too gud and then all the others will be easy.

Again, apologies if this isn't the right place to ask. If you are a broke goon then DS1 is still a perfectly fine entry into the series. I would argue that DS3 probably is the most "friendly" of them, especially if you are a magic user since you have a mana bar now rather than a limited number of spell casts, but really any of them are good.

Bohemian Nights posted:So I am completely new to dark souls and apparently I just got invaded, which I assume means another player wants to fite me Alternatively, turn on the Way of Blue covenant and let the PVP Police get you free souls from the invaders! Although I guess that means meeting more players, which you don't like because you hate fun.

Alternate solutions: 1) Run past them 2) There is an event that causes one of them to move to the center of the room and forces a fight so you don't have to fight in the slime and can actually move/dodge 3) You can get up on the rafters waaay up in the top of the cathedral and try to jump down and stab them in the head. I did not try this and cannot be responsible if it just ends in an embarrassing death

DS1 -> DS3 -> Demon's Souls -> Bloodborne -> DS2:SOTFS might be an okay play order, if you really want something different after DS3 you can switch over to Bloodborne and save DeS for after that.

Any set locations for Raw Gem? I didn't get one from the first cute little crystal lizard you meet this time, and this character needs it real bad. Done three laps with +itemfind of the highwall already since rarely it drops from a random hollow.

Karanas posted:The great scythe is really cool you guys. I made it sharp, its two-hander move set is really good, and it's got great reach. I've nailed more than a few invaders at the tail end of their dodge with it and maybe I'm just imagining it, but they seem to be wary of me when I advance on them. Don't know how many are using it over the katana or other popular weapons right now. They really did improve the moveset for the scythe, feels really handy now, great reach and arcs on it, fast too. Tempted to build a character around it though the supposed neck chopper attack doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Can anyone direct me to where the hell I can find more crystal 'lizards'. I've fought two so far, but I really want to use the wolf Knight greatsword and +1 can't even compete with my +4 dark sword IE where are all the titanite scales at

So far, I'm impressed with the level design in this. High Wall of Lothric was largely circular, which I wasn't really expecting, but ultimately pretty cool, it's like a big honeycomb. Undead Settlement really surprised me because I got to the boss there and beat it without realizing there was an entire other half of the level with two whole bonfires that I'd missed, with tons of NPCs and the path to the next area. It was cool. Road of Sacrifices, I didn't quite like as much, but I've never really liked the "here's a big swamp, explore" levels. Similarly, I'm kinda dreading Farron Keep for the same reason. So: should I do Farron Keep or Cathedral of the Deep first?

Skeletons drop tons of small titanite because they want you to have a +3 by then, in the next areas you'll start finding large ones.

I'd say that's your best bet.

There is one very difficult path that can be taken early on that eventually leads to a cache with treasurechests of them, and it's as follows (lightest possible spoilers): Remember the old lady that told you how to leave Highwall? Kill her, kill what comes, head straight forwards and continue the exploration. When you find a dark cool place with someone really chill you're in the right spot
