It's funny how the difficulty goes back to being "human" after that poo poo show. Oh yeah, the zone is tons of fun. Even the initial gauntlet is fun the first time or three, it just is extremely loving brutal.

I WANT THAT WOLF SWORD drat IT. I'm still slightly confused about farming. Do you need to be wearing the covenant item for it's respective offering to drop? Do you need to be Embered?

What determines if you actually get credit for moundmaking? I thought it was for getting the killing blow but it's not; that hasn't worked three times now. All three times it said to kill one phantom or a host, and I killed the phantom each time. It's never counted a red phantom and only seems to count the sentinel half the time.

Killing blow on the host or on as many phantoms as there are when you load into their game. Though who knows how buggy killing blows can be.

I've been trying to co-op on Vordt for a while now and more than half of my attempts end the same way  I spawn in, host is floating around in their idle animation. They walk up to the fog gate, shoot 5 meters into the air and begin fighting. I can't enter, having no prompt and no "critical battle has commenced". They die.

Is it scummy to invade someone with a Red Eye Orb just so you can have a look around the area unhindered by enemies? Because it feels really sort of necessary in the Catacombs.

^^^^ nah, provided you don't make them sit at a fog gate waiting for you to gently caress around. Mind, if you do that you're liable to seed of the giant'd, so.qbert posted:No, I understand that, but I was wondering if you need to be wearing the covenant item to farm offerings from PvE enemies. Oh, apologies. For PvE dudes, you don't need to have it on, although it probably would make sense to given that you can do both at the same time. Buy some coins from patches to help with the drop rates too.

I'm trying to figure out a Dex build with magic solely to buff my weapons, but the dual wield weapons feel pretty underwhelming compared to my old STR knight. I'm hoping they get a little more oomph with upgrades, but right now they feel like they're only doing like 75% of what my longsword was doing at +0Steve2911 posted:Is it scummy to invade someone with a Red Eye Orb just so you can have a look around the area unhindered by enemies? Be courageous when exploring! I haven't once summoned an ally for exploration, only for bosses sometimes. It's definitely pretty tense going around corners and not knowing if you'll find a bonfire, loot or a double whammy of goat monsters.

I'm hoping they get a little more oomph with upgrades, but right now they feel like they're only doing like 75% of what my longsword was doing at +0 If we're looking at Dark Souls 1 style buffing, dual wield weapons are probably the way to go for buffs. So assuming that, weapon buffs would work something along the lines of adding the Spell Buff power * X, where X is the modifier of the buff in question. In Dark Souls magic adjust was much higher, so here we're probably looking at X being somewhere around 2.0, maybe more. This is also assuming there isn't a generic % reduction per hit on the L1/L2 attacks, which would basically render dual wield weapons completely irrelevant, but you can take it for a quick test drive. Go slap something with your duel wield weapon of choice. First with an R1. Record the damage. Then with the L2. Again, record the damage (per hit). Now slap some resin on the bastard and go hit the same target, once with an R1 (to get an approximate baseline for how much damage is being added by the resin), then with the L1. If you're looking at roughly the full power of the resin being applied to each hit on the L1, dual-wield setups are probably ideal for "buff" focused builds, where maybe you hit base requirements, infuse Raw, and get your damage scaling primarily from buffs. On the other hand, if the apparent damage increase seems like it is being divided between the two hits, then gently caress dual wielding, because I otherwise have no idea how to make that crap good at all. From there, just make sure you are using a catalyst that actually has a spell buff value higher than 100. Some of these things literally do not appear to scale at all.

Unrelated, but as a caster, what's the most important stat to look for on your chosen offhand casting implement? I tooled around as a sorcerer for some time but most of the staff items I found looked worse than a staff I found in the first 5 hours of the game. I assume I'm just terrible and have no idea what to look for.

Internet Kraken posted:So final boss question; This HAS to be the player character from Dark Souls 1, right? I think it's an amalgamation of previous people who have linked the fire, characters and Gwyn both. Which is why it keeps swapping from one fighting style to another. But once you drain the first HP bar and move to phase 2, it is so obviously Gwyn. You even hear his theme mixed in the music.

Since Lord Gwyn, the first Lord of Cinder, many exalted lords have linked the First Flame, and it is their very souls that have manifested themselves as defender of the flame. So it seems like he's every individual that's linked the flame before.
