I HATE ALL FORMS OF FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT. I HATE BEAUTY. I AM GOLDJAS.
So, been busy and haven't been able to play game much, has anyone found a way to get Sorceries if Orbeck of Vinheim fucks off (I've been playing pure sorcery up to this point, but now that I've beaten 2 lords of embers still using these early game sorceries is starting to really hurt). Or should I respec/try switching to Pyromancies because Sorcery is just done if this happens?

Awesome. It is a weapon I need to go all in on on maxing the right stats for it to be useful over using a smaller weapon, or is it still effective while throwing some stats in int/fth for dabbling in some magic or pyromancy?

(On that note is respeccing somewhat easy in this thing or is it a "might as well make new character" thing)

That's one way to look at it. And "devouring men" might not be literal, instead referring to the consumption of their souls. Which you sure as hell did a lot.

An item description confirms it's literal.

I used it for most of the game so far on a pyromancy build. I only just changed to a different weapon to try something new.

I know, lets make a visually amazing boss with a fantastic, incredibly tense second phase but make the first one too big for our lovely camera to keep track while making him move at the speed of light, spaz the camera out even more, attack you from a range you can't even see his tells and then have him two-hit you regardless of defense. :byodood:

Seriously, the gently caress were they thinking with King of the Storm. The one directly after him is good but jesus loving christ.

(No real spoilers, I'm just hiding it instead people don't wanna know :shobon: ) It's easy and you get 5 respecs per playthrough. The NPC that lets you do it is sorta hidden though.

Well, that's pretty dumb. I hope they patch or change this at some point, because it makes sorcery worthless in a blind playthrough. Guess I'm switching to Pyromancy then, at least that NPC didn't gently caress off because I killed all of one boss after recruiting him.

Edit: and I have in fact found Logan's Scroll at this point, he's just long gone. So I guess the scroll is just worthless then?

Hey, question about Greirat:

I hosed up and activated the Irithyll Dungeon bonfire and now siggy 2.0 has apparently skipped ahead to the next stage of his quest, is it still possible to send him out on another scavenging mission or is he straight-up boned now if I do?

Where do you even find a sorcery scroll, I've reasonably thoroughly explored: starting area, Lothric High Wall, Undead Settlement, Road of Sacrifice and the Cathedral and I haven't found one yet.

There are two sorcery scrolls to be found in Farron Keep. Its understandable that you missed them, because that place is loving massive and horrid to explore.

I'm pretty sure you're out of luck. I think Siegmeyer needs to still be sitting at the fire in order to save Greirat so you can't even have talked to him, let alone gone down into the dungeon. I did the former but not the latter and Greirat died.

As far as that goes you'll be alright. Grab his ashes and give them to the handmaiden - she'll sell everything he used to as well as the new stuff he was going to get.

You can just not make the promise with him until you find one and then make the promise, which means you can't fail. All you have to do is give him one of them and he stays forever.

It does suck though, I feel for you. I lost the miracles lady already and I'm bummed about it.

One time when I warped back to Firelink (maybe after treeboss) there was another woman there standing near the Fire maiden who said something like she had nothing to say to the likes of me then she disappeared and I never saw her again, anyone know what's up with that?

Ditto the guy I found chilling outside the shrine once, to the left down the path where there's usually a skele-dog?

I wonder what drove the devs to remove the despawn system. I bet the soul drops would be higher if they didn't have to account for crazy people obsessively farming.

Reinstalling won't do anything. It's complaining about your save file. Something is wrong with it and not passing their checks.

That would probably be the case if it were not for me deleting all my saves beforehandd to see if that fixed it (it did not). Also deleted the DS3 folder in appdata too, that didn't do anything either.

"Mostly I missed being able to grind. Sometimes I just wanted to be better prepared for an area on a subsequent run and power level early on, or I'd hoard some consumable item from a shop, or I'd grind for gear drops or whatever."

Same thing happened to me for the first one:

She doesn't like Rosaria's Fingers so by joining them you locked herself out of her quest and a covenant. :v:

The second one is just the crestfallen guy isn't it? He moves out there sometimes. He's hosed off for me by now though so I don't know where he ends up.

I haven't even joined that covenant at all yet, so I dunno what happened.

Oh yeah, could be, I keep getting NPC's mixed up, I didn't even realise Crestfallen and the guy who gives you the red eye orbs were diferent people until they both appeared together. :v:
