I felt like it did pretty good damage- maybe I just need to upgrade some other sword and do even more, I am just having a most vexing drought of titanite shards

Help Im Alive posted:I'm a dumb idiot that didn't see the sword and chipped away at him for 20-25 minutes with a Great Machete and eventually won - so it's definitely possible (but completely pointless) I found him harder but the last boss is some ol bullshit with tracking and nowhere near as epic.

Did some exploring in Irithyl yesterday, and drat, the enemies in the sewers, ewww. Creepiest enemies so far for sure. Also, the loving fire-spewing priests or whatever are dickheads, and the knights fragile but hit like an agile truck gimmick is quite intimidating.

Speaking of this, do the other Frostbite weapons suffer from the same problem? There are some really cool weapons (like Vordt's hammer) but I'm worried that they all suck. Weapons with added effects (poison, bleed) have traditionally been pretty lovely due to "balancing" I suppose, and Frostbite is a terrible effect.

Specifically, Cornyx hangs out next to the stairs over by where Andre is. He blends in with the wall so I walked past him a million times.

I'm completely lost in Irithyll Dungeon. I killed the giant and found Siegward through the window, but the shortcut takes me right back to the bonfire and I haven't found another way forward.

Go through the area at the very bottom with the 10 jailers. Also separate question. Is there a ring that can disguise a phantom as a host? Because sometimes when I invade I see 2 hosts of embers and they don't have a phantom glow.

You need to go through the big bottom-center hallway (the one with lots of those masked/robed figures circling around) to get to the next area. Have you found the elevator yet? The bottom of the elevator is right by where you need to go.

The terribly translated patch notes mention something about a "performance adjustment" to the Greatsword. I fear my murder-machine may have had all the titanite used upon it wasted. Anyone know if this will be a good/bad thing?

Am I alone in seeing the abbreviation "FP" and immediately thinking of Flower Points from Paper Mario? Please tell me I'm not the only one. Also, game is good, etc. etc., but hot drat did they ramp up the difficulty in Lothric Castle. Even the dagger wielding mooks are doing a shitload of damage.

Chalk me up as another person who didn't use the Storm Ruler properly and was getting very frustrated until I figured it out. That was quite fun  On an unrelated note: MechanicalTomPetty posted:Anri questline: Yeah, that was.... I'm a monster....

I don't even know what Storm Ruler does, that fight became way too easy with Siegward's help. I get what they were going for but kinda feel like I got cheated out of a bossfight, just letting you summon some help would have been enough. Makes me regret looking up how to get him out of the well. Guess I'll get to learn that boss in NG+

You got the gist of it already, because the storm ruler on the throne is always there, and you're meant to use it, because phyiscal attacks do around 50-80 damage to him no matter what. There's almost no way to win without using it. I suppose you could bruteforce it but it'd be a real war of attrition, that's for sure.

Is there a wiki or something I could read or watch that tells you the lore of the previous games? I'm wanting to pick up the game but seems pointless if I don't know what any of it means.

I am going to try to do every NPC questline in one playthrough. On a scale of 1 to 10, how nuts am I? I think it's possible with some very specific running around, but I really have no idea.

Alabaster White posted: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. Edit: Never mind. She became an adversary later on, even though she gave me a blessed mail breaker. It might've been one of my respecs that triggered it, but I'm not sure.

Just beat Watchers and man did that feel good. Boss encounters in this game have been great fun (In that I genuinely want to beat them, not dread facing them because of bullshit: See Ruin Sentinel/Gargoyles in DS2). I want to join a covenant but the prospect of doing thus fills me with anxiety. I could be a sunbro, but what if I die in a bossfight and let everyone down?! I could be a bluecop, but what if I die on my arse and let my charge be murdered? Watchers seems like a good one but I dunno whether I should hold out until I come across something better.
