Wait so is the "flame" that needs to be linked the sun? Because the sky gets darker as you progress because the sun is getting sucked away

Fun fact if you mess up and let Siegward die in that fight you don't get a second chance at finishing it properly, and dude's just dead when you next try the fight.

I've never felt worse about taking too long to kill a boss. Trust me Onionbro, NG+ I'll do it properly. You'll get to see your duty through.

same, I couldn't work out how to use the weapon p[roperly :(

lol someone at From's translation team was smart enough to anticipate something trying to infuse a Dark Sword with Dark.

Man is the hidden area boss the nameless king such a good fight, I thought soloing the second form would be too hard until his pattern clicked.

I managed to gently caress up with Sirris too but after she already taught me the emote, so I still got to join the second coolest covenant (in theory)

he maybe gave me the most trouble and it was only 5x i had to fight him. part of me feels like the bosses are easy but part of me thinks its because im a souls veteran and also because i cant smoke weed in korea lol

I keep getting disoriented while fighting him especially when I get him down to one bracelet and he starts summoning bonewheels and scimitar skeletons. Not too hard of a boss though, just need to get the hang of it.

Abyss Walkers I kind of cheesed the second phase by constantly backing away and only attacking after he did a jump slash or dash when I knew I had time to attack. Still an intense fight

i kind of feel like the spells in general deal really underwhelming amounts of damage. like a great lightning spear with a +10 S scaling talisman and 40 faith will deal like 200 damage to another player on a direct hit..cmon man

Has any imps done any magic/pyro/or faith based builds? How have they turned out? I got a int build to ithryll and it didn't seem that fun, but then I've read that caster stats scale good up to 60 this time round so that might be why

maybe itll be patched but it really feels like spell damage got a huge nerf from previous games lol. like it's always better to just thwack people. kind of makes me want to make a pure str+dex char and run around using black knight gear

just fought demon king on ng+. he has some cool moves and the meteor shower is sick but hes kind of lame compared to every other boss lol

i hope that patch tomorrow fixes the memory leak poo poo and crashes. rly disheartening to have bought a new pc just for this game and it runs at 25FPS on any setting

There's a lot of amazing buff miracles now so I think STR/FTH is still ridiculously good but it's fairly slow going till you get higher levels
