Yeah it's so active I literally had to send myself home at the beginning of a match because I didn't have time inbetween to remove my covenant item. It's nuts. edit: Still pretty pissed off that they put Darkmoon Blade behind 30 Bluecop covenant tokens. Like holy poo poo, that's never gonna happen. I had Sentinel equipped all day and got 1 whole match. Very annoying because I actually wanted that spell. Apparently you can farm the covenant item from Silver Knights too, but god knows how lovely that drop rate is gonna be. Grizzled Patriarch fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Fashion Souls has gone too far. I wear the Fire Keepers' Set with 30 vitality and a Life Ring and I can take about 70% more damage than the players I summon or am summoned for. I put all my points into strength and vit and rely on being able to roll in order to not die.

The shrek crabs in the swamp are some of my favorite enemies in a souls game so far. They don't chase you on land so all they really want is for you to get out of their swamp. Also the cathedral is pretty loving badass. For me at least, that graveyard with the puke zombies was one of the creepiest things in these games. I kept bleeding out and then when it wore off I remembered a little trick: turns out the maggot dudes infect you with maggots/leeches and you can take a torch out to remove them. Just another weirdly arcane mechanic that makes too much sense once you learn about it. Also, are there any other areas that have white trees that are protected by the giant bro? Also what's the story behind them? Were those trees saints at some point that got turned into trees or does the giant just really like them?

Smouldering Lake is the worst loving place I swear to gently caress. Not only does it have the hardest hitting enemies in the game so far but theres the automated crossbow that can only be stopped at the very loving end of the level, and in fact its possible to never even realise you can stop it as its unnecessary to reaching the boss. Oh and THE CURSE FROGS ARE BACK. And after the curse frogs is an NPC with an ultra greatsword and greatshield who therefore has about 1000 more HP than you're used to! And if you get past him theres a black knight! And past them him are wheel skeletons! AND AFTER THEM ARE TWO ULTRA FAST FLYING SKELETONS ARMED WITH THOSE THINGS THAT ATTACK AROUND WEAPONS. And only if you got past this gauntlet can you then turn off the crossbow which allows you to descend harmlessly... into a mob of giant crabs. gently caress. This. Place.

Mailer posted:Is there a NG+(+++++, etc) NPC like dark2 to buy these spells from for the cheevos? Nope! You are basically just hosed if you want those covenant items, it sounds like. People are reporting that Silver Knights drop the item like 1 in 20 times on average, and you need 30 of them. I just can't believe they've managed to gently caress up Sentinels again. Why would you do the exact same thing that didn't work last time? In fact it's worse, because there's also the Darkmoons, who compete for the same invasion slots as Sentinels. Which means both covenants get to fight over the 3 people on earth wearing Way of the Blue, apparently.

The convenant split like that was always useless so I'm surprised it persisted. I still think the defense covenant idea is a good one but they certainly can't seem to do the right thing. On top of that there's the human/hollow thing again where you just spend 99% of the game immune from invasions to make it even more pointless. Oh well. On PC cheatengine is a thing that exists so I'll kill 20 knights or whatever to get one of them and then call it a day.

Smouldering Lake is killing me. I've never died anywhere as much as I've died here and I just want to give up. I was so excited when I stumbled upon the hole in the middle of the lake the ballista shoots open but now I wish I had never come here.

Were those trees saints at some point that got turned into trees or does the giant just really like them? If you read the description of the branches that drop around them, there's three such trees and they're spawned from Dusk's old branch catalyst that you could get in Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss. They're a token of friendship to the giant.

Raged posted:Just double checking but Pyromancer spells do go up in damage when you raise your int/fth right? Just want to make sure I'm not wasting levels. Yes, it definitely does. Some also have kinda high requirements so if you want to be a full pyromancer you'll need to level Int/Faith. Damage soft caps whenever the sum of the two is 60, so like 30/30 or whatever.

Hows this for a twist a few posts up i finally tuned off the ballista. Well turns out you use that ballista to shoot down a wall in the lake to reveal a ring. I have decided gently caress THAT and completionism can go to hell. I am NOT turning that loving thing back on njust to get one loving ring.

My name is Anal Surgery and I'm here to say / Tall Goats suck in a major way! Seriously though those tall goat boys have given me more trouble than any boss or any other creature (besides the crucifixion crazy boys. I can stagger them to a point, then they jump high, break lock-on, and skitter all over the goddamn place. gently caress those guys. I typically hate swamp levels but I think Road of Sacrifice/Farron Keep hits the design just right to be stressful but not too tedious. My tip for new players is that I managed to MAKE Farron Keep tedious by trying to ninja past certain Enemies Who Should Seriously gently caress Right Off and getting lost, but if you just follow solid ground/torches/fires, the stress is totally just enemy encounters and a disorienting layout. The poison is nothing and the path is clearer than you probably think it is. edited in case people want to be surprised by the shittiest assholes in the early game so far (lovely in that they kill me, not lovely in that they are badly designed)

When the PvP works, it delivers. Had a guy who was doing far, far more damage with his weapon than I'm doing, manage to parry and riposte him, and then we trade three blows, he dies, I survive with 19HP.

The cruelest irony is the fact that I just slugged my way through those miserable bird and goat gently caress catacombs to the second bonfire, which of course, is one hundred feet from the very first bonfire, but up on a ledge. My reward? A single large titanite shard. I assume this let's you kill the lightning worm easier? Too bad I already did that when I got here by cowardly hiding behind a rock while the ballista did it for me. I hate this place so much.
