DS2 DLC is the best content of any Souls game. Each zone has an optional gimmick coop area that sucks though.

Making a pyromancer as my second character and the raw astora sword carried me quite awhile but I need to decide on what to use now.

Do I want to pump my dex and use the dex scaling infusion and a flaming weapon buff, or the chaos enchant with +30/30 int/faith, or is chaos a bit weak because of the split damage and no weapon buffs?
Is there any weapon that stands out as a good candidate for a chaos infusion, like hidden scaling bonuses? tried the astora greatsword but the stamina usage is a bit dumb.

This is basically never true. There are some specific parts of levels where the enemies are dangerous enough to be somewhat of a threat to the host and their posse, but even those are often completely neutered by them just staying back and letting the enemies leash, forcing you to come fight them and almost certainly die. You're doubly hosed if the host has a Seed of Giants.

Also if they're eligible to be invaded, they're eligible to summon a friendly phantom, and no NPC in the entire game is a match for two semi-competent players much less the 4 you're going to be fighting most of the time as an invader.

if you know when to start swinging and have a good weapon/enough beef to take the hits to get in there, you're honestly 85% of the way. i'm quite certain the astora greatsword is strong but you could eke another swing out of something lighter, maybe, potentially???

I could, probably, but this thing's Charge weapon art has handed me at least a couple of wins tonight. It's got a real nice moveset.

Weird request but I don't suppose anyone knows a way I could get DS3 to read the + key on my numpad? It doesn't register it as a valid option in the key rebinding screen even though it detects other numpad keys.

You could just keep your sword raw and use the flame arc buff on it. That's what I did with my thrall axe and it worked through the whole game.

Ok, gently caress the nameless king. Seriously.

I can beat the first stage easy now. I've done it flawlessly. It's just such a loving drag having to do it again when the second stage is the hard part.

I started using the spirit tree crest shield, because with 100 phys and 83 lightning it does a great job blocking, but...

gently caress.

Then the next step is to jump directly into the garbage.

Kill Horace in smoldering lake, and then tell her about him. Then meet her at the second bonfire in Irithyll. The church one. While there, exhaust her dialogue and kill the assassin by the statues. Your next stop is Anor Londo.

That's like, way far away from the boss. People aren't going to put signs there (not even for exploring the next zone because there's another bonfire). There's a shortcut you can open from Yorshka's Church to the boss that makes the run like 15 seconds with enemies you can roll past, so the Church is a better start zone. Or just clear out the few enemies up top and then look for summon signs next to the fog wall. That's where most people usually put theirs.

Thanks this helped :)

Put on lightning resist gear and the lightning resist ring and the iframe ring. The extra iframes make dodging his poo poo a lot easier.

The limit seems to be falls that would kill you no matter what your health is, which there doesn't seem to be too many of outside of bottomless pits. Nice!
