Please feel free to call me out if I'm just being a baby, but am I crazy in thinking they went a little too far with the crazy aggro on a handful of enemies? For the most part I think the more aggressive enemies has been one of the best parts of the game, but some of them just feel a little cheap and seem to have an absurd amount of stamina. Specifically large mace and assassin type enemies.

I've mostly seen it on larger, non-humanoid enemies like the lizards and gargoyles.

Specifically large mace and assassin type enemies. It's not a big deal for me, but I agree that they went a little too far with certain enemies. They're huge and yet also ridiculously quick, with too much stamina and poise. This game seems to have more enemies like that than any of the other ones.

People are really bad at the PVP in this game Some dude invaded me at the castle and was trying to be clever with a whip so I chain stunned him 100-0 with a +9 flame longsword then went to sleep on his corpse.

They're really easy to stagger though, I actually found the catacombs to be one of the funnest areas so far in terms of actually fighting random enemies, all of the red eye skeletons are awesome without being super bullshitty.

They were actually what i was thinking of with that post, as well as the fat witch/ gold knights in the cathedral. I really think those 3 enemies transcend being difficult into being flat out cheap.

Internet Kraken posted:When fighting Yorhm do you have to use the storm ruler sword? i didn't know it existed until the end of the fight and just shot magic missiles at his face it worked and there is actually a way to shred his health insanely fast with them if you shoot 3 great heavy missiles at his face he goes into a mode where you can riposte him. however, shooting magic missiles at his head in that mode makes every missile do a riposte's amount of damage so you can get like 3x the amount you would, at 3k~ per missile and 3 missiles per knockdown

I ran intro a truckload of lag yesterday for some reason. Any idea what may have caused it, since I have 100/10? Normally, it goes without a hitch.

Is the multiplayer just utterly hosed? Whenever invade/get invaded they don't actually animate. They just slide around with their arms stuck out and sometimes i take damage.

Well based on my early game-ish PvP experience. I think there's only a katana available in the first few hours of the game. It's weird, you'd think From would have had more weapon variety.

I looked online to see if there was a secret to getting summoned for Darkmoon stuff. Apparently it has a rivalry with the Aldrich Faithful and gets prioritised to those but of course it needs the player you are saving to be in the Way of the Blue which nobody ever is at that stage of the game. Why not just automatically counter-invade the Aldrich guys?

Argh. Currently working on getting all of the achievements. Looks like I need to get: Aldrich Faithful to rank 1 Farron, Darkmoon, and Mound-Makers to rank 2. Are there any tricks to getting this done? I'm at SL 106 and barely get summoned for anything (especially Aldrich)

Bad angle, but this is me doing a Bloodborne-style visceral attack on the gaping alligator thing. Seems if you do enough damage in a short time you stagger it and can then do a critical hit like normal.  Also these enemies are some real bullshit and harder than most bosses I'm pretty sure.

Was the raw chicken tender boss (Consumed Oceiros) supposed to be easy, or did the AI just bug out and decide blindly charging into walls was a good idea for that instance only?

Why not just automatically counter-invade the Aldrich guys? For all the incredible quality of life stuff they've done this time, it's really amazing that they hosed up blue counter-invasions for literally the exact same reason they were hosed up in DkS2, i.e. tying them to a covenant nobody ever stays in. Why can't Blues/Darkmoons protect each other?

Where did blind miracle lady disappear to?  Also am I safe to join the invaders covenant now that woman at firelink has said I can summon her or does it break her quest if you're with them at all? NESguerilla posted:Was there actually a point to raising the gates around the giants in the cathedral? I feel like I missed something there but I have no idea what. I think you were supposed to lure the Giants behind them then raise the gate so they were trapped, but they were so trivially easy to kill it was pointless. There one near Rosearia's bonfire that's a shortcut though.

You can do this to the first crystal lizard in the game when you start. He just kind of plops down and you go over and smush your swords into his face. Doesn't really do a whole lot of damage.

Diogines posted:A few questions from a Darksouls noob: I'm pretty happy with my herald, it seems like a good class for someone who hasn't played a souls game before. I've focused mostly on dex and hp and played with a spear until I got the irithyl straight sword and realised that I could do so much more DPS with consecutive attacks than the slow spear-poking allowed me to do. I'm occasionally switching to the spear you get from the tree boss' soul but swords generally just seem a lot better. Maybe I just need a spear that scales better with dex idk Also, goty:

You can do it to anything with a shield if you're two handing a heavy enough weapon, smack their shield two or three time and you basically get the BB 'ready for a visceral' animation complete with similar sound

It's a shame the Irithyll Straight Sword is a piece of garbage, because A) ice, B) particle effects, and C) straight sword. It caps out at the equivalent of a Raw Astora Sword's +6.Sakurazuka posted:Where did blind miracle lady disappear to? Check Gundyr's bonfire or the peak of the tower above Firelink. Sirris will get pissed and break the quest if you join the Fingers, yes. I've heard that she might not notice if you just join it but don't offer any tongues or equip the badge, but that's just rumors. It's best to wait until later if you really want to do her questline.
