Optional but you need to beat it in order to make weapons/equipment from boss souls

Saw a bunch of Sunbro summon signs in front of some empty ruins, said "what the hell" and summoned them. We Sunbro'd our way to beating the Crystal Sage on the first shot, thank god for AoE heals.

Going by the placement, he's optional.

Do the drops etc reset on new game + ? I stupidly ate a few early boss souls and now I can't get a few items and possibly trophies this play through.

He literally can't proceed because fog walls will prevent you from leaving an area with an invader in it.

Man I wouldn't mind dying to the Firelink sword guy so many times, but the loading screen fog barrier at the shrine's exit makes it really frustrating.

I'm thinking I should have put this on my SSD.

I literally can't go anywhere because everything is walled off with fog walls and I can't sit at a bonfire/homeward bone. Guy obviously went AFK somewhere but the levels are huge so there's no chance I'm finding him. That's kinda why that stuff is a problem, not because I'm afraid of dying (what?)

one of my friends is playing a souls game for the first time and is 2 bosses ahead of me with less playtime

I think...... I think he might be cheating, what do you think goons?


cool crystal sage bug report

summoned my friend to superstomp this boss. turns out if you deal too much damage before phase 2, phase 2 doesn't happen. No bosses in the area. Not the invincibility glitch just no enemies and the boss at 1/4 health.

bonus: this was at primetime last night so the servers were fucky. I get invaded 10 seconds into the boss fight (probably extreme lag), but because there wasn't a boss to kill and I was invaded I couldn't quit the game normally. Alt-F4 was my only way out :wtc:

I'm loving it

That sucks and is stupid. Being afraid of dying to an invader is why some people roll off a ledge instead of fight tho

Catacombs boss effectively has a time limit where if you don't do the right thing quick enough, he uses an attack that's impossible to dodge. That's absolutely a gimmick.

I'm pretty underwhelmed with spells in PVP. I've played to about level 40 as a pyromancer. I've been dividing my points more or less even between faith and int and I've found three extra tombs to vary abilities. I've also been experimenting with faith skills and mage spells. It seems like the spells that are hard to dodge don't do much damage and the ones that are very easy to dodge don't do much more than a swing from a melee character around my level.

I find the PvP aspect of this series to be my favorite part of the game, but DSIII sticks out as being the first in the series where I just can't make spells work for me. They're decent enough in PvE, but really the only kills I've gotten in PvP are through the environment. Could someone offer me some advice apart from restarting as a melee character? Or is that really my best option?

They're triggered by doing a shitload of poise damage, frostbite helps too

I got summoned to help a dude with the Ducks of the Deep and he was frozen mid-toast and levitated through the fog door in toasting position. Me and the other phantom just had to sit on the outside of the fog door listening to the fight and occasionally stabbing an add that came up to see what all the fuss was about. woops

Uhh well in that case check the wiki page for Anri of Astora. After you beat the final boss (don't touch anything), USB back up your save if you are on console. On PC idk if you can...

Genocyber posted:

You can't do that. The trophy Master of Rings requires that you collect every ring, including the +1/+2 variants of some rings that only show up in ng+1 and ng+2, respectively.
Alright, thanks, guess I won't have to worry about it this game that one.

Who is the girl I can touch/ignore, and what happens? I assume the former involves pissing off the nasty dude guarding her, but beyond that minor complication.

That makes sense. I did whack on it several times in quick succession until it happened. I guess I was just in the right spot at the time.

Is the Astora Greatsword bad and/or Refined scaling bad?

I have 21 in both STR and DEX, and my sword is +4 Refined but I just caught up on Lobos Jr's run and he's doing comparable damage with just a Broadsword and 28 STR, and as you can imagine that's quite a bit faster and uses way less stamina. :sigh:

e: It's a really bad idea but my first char has "of Astora" in their name so I figured I could use the sword for maxxxximum roleplaying.

Anyone? :(

I hate how rare titanite is in this game, if the sword is indeed garbage then it's still the only +4 weapon available to me for a while since I've gotten all the Large Shards available in the areas I've been.

it has high base damage so the refined infusion messed it up i think

The North Remembers.
Well, not understanding what I'm missing about the second boss the giant tree. Either my damage is terrible (though I'm doing fine with Fire Estoc +3 everywhere else), or there's some trick I'm not picking up on. I'm not able to see tells well enough for attacks, and even when I can, I can't seem to figure out how to properly dodge them. I've gotten the encounter to drop through the floor but that's at like 20% HP loss and I'm already burning through Estus by then.
