I'm finding pyromancy to be good so far but I'm still not seeing any practical reason to use any offensive pyromancy other than fire orb. Cause it does good damage and has a better casting animation than all the other stuff I've tried. Maybe this fancy dark tome gives a good spell but the teacher won't take it and I have no clue who else would. All the pyromancies I've actually had to raise my stats to use have been worthless. Its weird to think that I'm a pyromancer but I'm basically only using flame weapon and fire orb, with the occasional session of profuse sweating.

Is it actually possible to beat the second phase of the Abyss Watchers fight? try co-operation... also does the watch dogs covenant do anything? i alternated between that and the blue cops for a 5 hour play session and got gently caress-all for summons. is pvp not happening unless i am personally invading? i loving know there's some 3v1 bullshit waiting for me in that situation! how is it that i can invade into a pile of white phantoms, but the actual pvp covenants don't seem to do poo poo?

Serious Answer Treat him like Fume Knight or Lady Maria Do not block, get your roll to 30%. Roll under the big swing, hit him once or MAYBE twice if there is a big window, get ready to roll dodge again

Actual advice on AW: learn his attacks and wait for him to leave an opening after dodging them. He's pretty relentless so trying to attack mid combo will get you wrecked. Also he can still be backstabbed and some of his attacks leave him vulnerable to it. Pay attention to the flame marks he leaves behind when dodging cause you'll feel stupid avoiding his sword only to get burned. That's how I beat him shieldless. Dunno how it works out with one.

Well that was fun, just wasted 20 minutes of two people's time in PvP and eventually killed the phantom helper, prompting the host to apparently disconnect his internet seeing as I lost connection to them seconds afterwards.

Hmm. I beat the crystal sage, but I still see summon signs, so there's probably another boss in the area. I guess I'll have to go explore the building... with the crazy jesus monsters... and the 'old friends'... and those two guys with great weapons... Hmmm.

The Aristocrat's Mask is p. spoopy It also has wonderful cloth physics. The scythe is rear end though, I pumped all my Twinkling Titanite into it and it's still slower+weaker than my dumb straight sword from the High Wall of Lothric

Jose posted:is there an ash in the swamp/cathedral that i've missed and need to go back for? There is an ash behind an illusory wall in the Wolf Covenant tower that unlocks Titanite Shards for sale, which is a pretty big deal. The swamp is also where a bunch of good spellcaster gear is. Crown of Dusk, 2 Scrolls, and Lingering Dragoncrest Ring so far, probably more tucked away. It seems like Crucifixion Forest and Farron Swamp are where a ton of the good caster gear is located.

Exodee posted:Not sure about that. He supposedly has a chance to drop a Refined Gem though, which is pretty useful. He's guaranteed to drop the Refined Gem the first time you kill him, but after that he doesn't drop any more of them. I've killed him probably 100+ times and he's never dropped a second one, nor have I found any evidence online for Refined Gems dropping from anything other than really late game enemies (gently caress you, From. I want to infuse )

GreatGreen posted:So I have a question. Is it actually possible to beat the second phase of the Abyss Watchers fight? I just did it after spending about 2 hours straight on it, haha. My advice: just roll away constantly until you feel like you've seen all his attacks and combos and remember them. A tip: when he does his long combo that ends in a summersault a la Artorias, if you can roll into it instead of away, you should have no problem finding the time for a few hits!

Is there a ring that boosts casting speed in this game, and if so can you get it before Ice Town? Afraid I might of missed it.

One thing that seems to help people who have trouble with dueler bosses like AWp2 is that you can't constantly avoid attacks by positioning only. Like don't constantly roll backwards as they are initiating the attack to make sure you are completely out of its range, because then you won't be close enough to punish them before they start a new attack. Roll INTO the attacks using your iframes, then use the dueler's recovery period to bite them a couple times. Bloodborne will teach you to be good at this if you aren't already. Obviously it's easier said than done because bosses are scary but don't let their giant fire sticks intimidate you. turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 14, 2016 |

On the bottom floor of the ruins before the Crystal Sage, the floor is shallow water, you can drop through a hole in the final room before the boss or find a way to it from the other side of the ruins.

Has anyone else been using the Great Machete/does it also feel super broken to you? I haven't been trying out other weapons/magic though so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I just upgraded to Yhorm's Great Machete which I guess is just the same thing but stronger + I love it

Luckily getting it will take you all of 10 seconds. Start at the Crystal Sage bonfire. Run back down into that room full of enemies. On the left hand side, there is a hole in the floor. Drop down it and the Sage Ring is there. There's also a Crucifixion Victim down there that might try to ambush you.

Pretty sure the invisible dodge ring replaces the ninja flip ring, like it did in DS2.
