Apart from the graphics, the first thing that really strikes you as an improvement over the first two games is the amazing sound design. Those big snake zombies in the first zone after Firelink really loving freak me out with the horrific sounds they make.

Harrow posted:Would you guys recommend that I do (areas after Road of Sacrifices spoilers) Cathedral of the Deep or Farron Keep first? There's a ring in the former that will make your life slightly less frustrating in the latter, for what that's worth. I haven't done anything else there though so I have no idea what's worth it.

And because i hosed up with the onion knight I only got a stupid fire gem for my trouble and I still can't get past the frost dude downstairs. Guide to frost dude: stay in his room and keep a column between you and him at all times so he doesn't charge. Throw fire at him and dodge away to behind a column whilst screaming like a little girl every time he moves.

How's the Lucerne this time around? I've been rolling Uchigatana for a while and the bleed is fantastic, but I wouldn't mind something with a bit more reach.

Should I just stick with my Uchi+2 with a DEX build, or might I as well "waste" an infusion for now? Thought I'd take the Fire Gem for a spin, but be silly to waste it if it's no good.

voltcatfish posted:I assume I need far more than nine luck to consistently proc the bleed? Never goes off for me. Nope, I have only 7 Luck. The bleed only really comes off when I can land four rapid hits on an enemy, so it's mostly been useful against big and slower enemies. Most enemies die before it happens, really. ufarn posted:Should I just stick with my Uchi+2 with a DEX build, or might I as well "waste" an infusion for now? Thought I'd take the Fire Gem for a spin, but be silly to waste it if it's no good. The Fire infusion doesn't scale (same with Deep and Raw), so it's mostly good for builds that aren't going to increase Strength or Dexterity beyond the minimum requirements to wield a weapon.

Welp, I accidentally attacked the knight with the gigantic hammer in the undead village. He's now perma hostile, which wouldnt be such a problem if he was avoidable. If he kicks me I get staggered and die; if he does his light explosion thing i die; sometimes he gets a luck hammer hit in and I die. Any way to reset him so that he's friendly? Do I use this as an excuse to start over and plan my character better? Do I fight it out and take his shield? Lotta options.

Philthy posted:This is kind of cool. Answering my own question. It appears they got rid of the soul memory for scaling, which is pretty awesome. Instead it looks like you need to be -/+ 10 levels to summon a sign, AND within -/+ 2 weapon upgrade levels. This is cool because I am basically farming souls that I don't need to spend by playing co-op constantly until I want to actually level up and move on. I can do co-op for years at the beginning game and have 1,000,000 souls and still be able to see and help noobs. quote:Host #1 SL 41 +4 weapon

Those big snake zombies in the first zone after Firelink really loving freak me out with the horrific sounds they make. The sounds are good but this reminds me: is the wind noise around firelink supposed to sound like it's constantly ramping up and then cutting off? I keep hearing that sound there, and in various other areas of the game, and I'm not sure if that's a bug or just an odd design choice. Just a constant whooooooooOOOOOOOSHHH-- sudden silence.

Find the ashes in the undead settlement, give them to the merchant lady in firelink, then buy a key off her that opens a door in the sewer area before hammer guy. The statue to velka is down there.

Einwand posted:You can get a third phantom by using an item from the shrine maiden, dried knuckles or something. I think it also increases your priority for invasions and lets up to two phantoms invade at once? Rapier with some small shield I found somewhere in Lothric. Has anyone found any good parrying shields, because I'm kinda digging the gently caress out of the poke/stab/lunge archetype

Edited Caidin beat me to it, you can also get there by jumping off the cliff behind the guy, but you need to be able to take a lot of fall damage.

The fast, tall skeletons with the shotels in the Catacombs of Carthus feel like they supposed to be in bloodborne, not dark souls. The way they dash around all over the place just feels out of place in dark souls.

If poise means jack poo poo, are defensive stats meaningful enough to go with a heavy armor set? I'm tempted to just go for a sub 30% equip load if I don't need to worry about poise.

That seems to happen when you've selected something, or moved the "cursor" on what's selected. It causes its own noise, which seems to reset THAT noise. I have no idea how that passed QA because it's loving annoying.

There's a platform midway up you can ump onto that leads to another small section of the settlement. Ring is at the end of that. Two rings, actually, Chloranthy ring is over there too. Wait, the Chloranthy ring is there too? I went through that path and didn't see it.
