bloodborne was kind of at a disadvantage because the way invasions worked were really bad for the invaders. like you could only invade if the other person was ringing the coop bell, and I think the host could just kill the bell maiden before she found an invader to connect. actual pvp in bloodborne was the only time it was ever fun for me since it's more aggressive, but it wasn't worth the effort really

Speaking of second phases though, I was totally expecting Wolnir to bust out a giant sword or something and go nuts when I broke his bling. That fight was over super, super fast.

He does exactly that after you break the first 2 bracelets. You probably finished the fight too fast for him to do it or stunned him out of it.

For the first time I've been splitting str/Dex pretty much right down the middle. I'm pretty much at the end. Was kind of wondering if I should maybe commit to one or the other before finishing up. Is it generally considered a bad build to do that? I don't feel particularly under powered but I've never really spread my stats put like that before.

This is maybe a dumb question, but I can't figure out what I'm missing - (end of game spoilers) I can't put Lothric's cinders on his throne. All the others I was able to just walk up and sit on the throne, but I don't get a prompt for his and I can't figure out how to progress. Do I need to kill Ludleth or something?

Darkmoon Blade covenant just gave me the best Souls PVP experience of my life.

I got summoned into a world where the host had two phantoms and was invaded by two invaders. I killed one of them immediately--he tried to Farron breakdance me and I caught him out of it and killed him in three hits. Then another invaded and I killed him. Then I started fighting the original invader while the host and his two co-op phantoms hosed off to go do PvE. And then another phantom invaded. The host and his co-op pals were long gone so it turned into a 2-on-1 and I loving won. I came out of a single Darkmoon Blade summon with five Proofs of a Concord Kept.

I owe it all to the Astora Greatsword. Thanks, Astora Greatsword!

the charge weapon art is extremely effective. if someone has never seen it before it is 100% a free kill

There were areas with bell maidens pre-spawned too, though. I solo'd BB the whole way but was invaded multiple times in one area because of the bell maidens ehich took some time to find/reach.

there were three (nightmare frontier, nightmare of mensis, and mergo's loft iirc), each with one bell maiden. if you killed the maiden, she never respawned and the only way to get pvp stuff from then on was to ring the coop bell

With a pyromancer, am I going to want to use chaos infusions or raw infusion and then buff with flaming weapon?
Having a hard time figuring out some new weapons to try, really wish I could buy infusion gems from a vendor.

Narrowing my weapon choices down to astora greatsword, thrall axe, estoc, a whip and lothric knight spear or any decent spear.

Sorry, guy.
I tell you... the epitome of the best and worst things about Dark Souls are (for me) summed up in Farron Keep.

It's the same thing, too.

That feeling of "oh poo poo, it will nag me to the day I die that I may have missed a ton of poo poo in that crazy area..."

and

"Holy poo poo there is so much to explore here! That is awesome!"


[edit] Also I am at Farron Keep and I have only ever found ONE Illusory Wall. I am certain I must have missed a ton.

I feel like Bloodborne really just wanted invasions to be in the background. Sometimes I wonder why they even bothered with invasions outside of the few parts where you are supposed to get invaded.

It took a lot of grinding, but I can now use Morne's Great Hammer (50 STR 30 FTH) and I haven't even entered Farron Keep :shepicide: It's probably going to be worse than my upgraded Greataxe but a gimmick run is a gimmick run.

I'm not a good PVPman at the best of times, but out of about 30 attempts I've won two fights. Don't get me wrong, I've had some close calls, but more often than not I can't make a scratch on the enemy.

It's me, the guy who still hasn't used anything other than the starting sword, with 1100 health who you can't hit.

I feel like most of the time, when I lose a fight, it's because of something dumb that I did (either getting greedy or impatient), as opposed to something clever/smart they did.

My current stupid gimmick is to use the rings that increase damage/absorption at full health, and starting the fight with less than full health. Hit em a few times, fall back, chug a lug, then 5 shot them and feel mega :smug:

There's no way I'll ever be bothered to edit this, but if you don't mind clicking through, here's a solid ~hour thirty of killing summoners/summoning noobs (so like 3 actual fights). At one point I half-fool someone with the phantom ring, and later on I turn into a chair and sneak up rrrright behind dude.

Oh, you know what? If you want easy frags, just fire up the easy gank oven! (I was 'playing with my food' here, I must have killed this guy 3 or 4 times before he stopped putting signs down.), but AFAIK they have to drop down there
