Fat Samurai posted:Undead Village stuff: Is the area where onionbro is chilling after you meet him a dead end, a side area, the way to the next area or what? I dropped from the rooftops, picked up a Homeward Bone and took that as a hint to GTFO because Oh my god giant fire demon thing! It's a side area, loops back to the main area, but I would suggest that your new friend continues to be a little bit too deliberative. Sometimes a direct approach works quite well.

I just got to snowland and holy poo poo that might be the prettiest landscape I've ever seen in a videogame. Especially effective coming right after the previous area.

I hate the illusions in this game. I've been pretty good at finding them in past Souls games, but have found almost all of the ones in this game only through messages. Everywhere I think there would be a wall, there isn't one. And some of them are ridiculous, like one in the Ice Town; a loving illusionary staircase??? What the hell.RatHat posted:gently caress the crabs, seriously. I guess they're supposed to be more of an obstacle than an enemy you kill. Actually, you are supposed to kill them. You even get a ring for killing the two big ones in a single run. Do not make the mistake I did and assume this will also apply to the 7 crabs you run into later. Those fuckers drop nothing.

Apparition posted:Sorry, I wrote that like an idiot. I got the soul to get this item, but I don't remember which enemy I killed. If I want to make a new fisto character and try and beeline to get the soul, who drops it?  I played only fists from the beginning (or at least once I got the caestus) and let me tell you, it mostly sucked. like a lot. earlest you can get it is in the catacombs since iirc only one enemy drops it and it's the fire demon under the wolnir. (you can get it to fight the mimic and both of them die in like four hits, so at least t's easy to get) a cestus at +10 with the strength gem actually does about 18 damage less than this and can be buffed so at a really high level the cestus, weirdly, is better than this one, but the demon's fist is hilarious. the R2 is a spinning zangief-style tornado that you can turn into a lava spout knockup that has hyper armor. Doesn't do great damage but the knockup's great since you can get two or three L1's in before they're able to move again.

So if I put my +4 or higher weapons in a weapon box can I fight people who have lower level weapons? Because there is loving no one besides that one guy I fought available for wolf fights.

The covenants are standardized now, you always need to turn in 10 and then 20 more (for a total of 30) to unlock everything. You couldn't check your progress between ranks in Dark Souls 2 either, which anybody who suffered through trying to rank up Sentinels or Bloodbros should know well. EDIT: O you meant a way to check that. Yeah it'd be cool

Thumbtacks posted:all the weird beast guys in the swamp should drop them, they just have a really lovely drop rate Thanks, fairly lovely drop rate but based on my experiences the guys with the shields and capes have the best drop rates so far. So I'm just hopping out, sprinting over to the two or three right behind the bonfire tower and murdering them. I've been getting one per go so far so not too bad. As an aside you can't kill the old wolf, it bleed when you hit it but it doesn't die.

RatHat posted:So is there any way to join the Mound Makers covenant after killing the Curserotted Greatwood? Yes, but it requires you to do Sirris' questline. Don't have the guide, but by all reports it's really lovely. Missing info (whole chapters, it sounds like?), vague advice, crappy index, etc. Also holy poo poo I finally took down the Pontiff and that might legit be the most difficult boss in the entire series, including Bloodborne.

Re: Sirris I joined the PvP covenant to get the achievement not knowing that it seems to get rid of her. However I she never told me we are now enemies which apparently she does, instead I haven't seen her since she told me I am a good person and gave me a gesture I think, so *shrugs* maybe the storyline will be ok for me? Whens the next part in the story I can check this?

It is a rad fight, I like how after a point the other dudes start reviving themselves and fighting eachother too. It's also great to have a boss you can actually parry and backstab again. Sadly second form is somewhat harder because my computer does not appreciate all the fire. EDIT: Now I don't know what weapon to get from the soul.

It is possible they somehow missed the whole area and went ahead to farron keep instead. Anyway game has done some nonsense that is great. I swear I saw this boss in a demo about six months ago? But it was different? Instead of boreal vordt they fought the dancer of the valley, who was ice themed, to show off the frostbite mechanic. Then a few days back I find her, she was relegated to a non-respawning enemy in a basement who gives you a frostbite sword and you fight vordt in her room instead and I thought okay that's weird. And now I fought the dancer but she was burning the building down and clearly not ice themed and what a weird goddamn thing. I don't even know if I have a point. It's weird to do that right? Just to mix up expectations?

Is there any PvP in the game that isn't dogshit? The priority of invading hosts who already have phantoms summoned is the most retarded thing I've ever seen.

Faithful of whatever seems alright. I mean I got invaded by two blues and a purple just walking into the area. And then I accidentally joined up and every time I invade it's a 2v2 brawl just going nuts as hell.

The girlfriend had to leave at 7am for her shift so I got up with her and spent a couple hours before work sunbroing people through vordt. Was still getting non stop summoned even at 7am on a weekday, I love Souls launch periods and now have a firelink tower key and stack of sunlight medals to show for it.

Ugh people who invade to tag team a host and just stand off to the side waiting to have an honorable samurai duel or whatever are the drat worst. Enjoy the 1 time in 100 that you get to be on the fun side of a ridiculous gank, you goony fucks. edit: Also, for whatever reason Blue Sentinels is totally dead for me, but Aldrich Faithful is non-stop invasion action.
