Harrow posted:At that point, you just gotta dodge and dodge real good. Dodge towards him, not away from him--he has great range on that sword and the extra flame trails will gently caress you up if you mistime your dodge. Try to stay on his rear end. Dodging towards him can also help get you in position to backstab him if he does a big swing that leaves him open for a second or two. Thanks for the tips. I ended up beating him just barely, felt really good. The first enemy in the next place will probably kick my rear end again... I know I'm going really slow, I think I'm level 45 or something, but I'm inching my way forward. It's not power playing by any means but I'm finally starting to get a feel for the dodging, although sometimes I just panic and start mashing buttons.

Orv posted:You need to advance Siegward's quest line to its final stage for him to save Greirat, and do it before the Pontiff. It can still resolve through other weird combinations, but it's imprecise. I think the way it's supposed to go is that if you talk to Siegward in the kitchen after the sewer in Irithyll, he will save Greirat as long as you don't advance his quest further before Greirat returns to Firelink. Unfortunately, you can gently caress this up by lightning the Irithyll Dungeon bonfire before letting Siegward save Greirat, like I did.

So get this; the first time through I hosed up so stupendously that in order to get Siegward out of the well in time I had to tell Patches where Greirat was so he'd sell to me. Queue ages later, I miss Siegward in the kitchen entirely, do the Yhorm fight with him and when I get back both Patches and Greirat are back.

For some reason it seems like you can still use it even when your FP is totally depleted, I'm not sure if that's a bug or not but it sure is nice! You can use any weapon art when your FP is depleted, but you often don't get their actual special ability, or they do very little damage. I think the quickstep doesn't get i-frames if you have no FP, but you can still use it to move through the swamp really quickly.

Well, I found Greirat's corpse and did my sad gesture in front of it and vowed he'd survive NG+. NPC quest timings are really weird.

Giant Isopod posted:No, I mean from the description on the spell Divine Pillars of Light. Yeah those golden dudes are the "angels" the flavour text is referring too probably. I guess they're just another one of the nightmare creatures that the nightmare eclipse in Lothric Castle beckoned forth, and that's like, not armor but their actual body. Like they're a type of gargoyle or something. The woman in the cage was contacted by them somehow and she transcribed the miracle that they cast into a scroll that you can then use yourself. I'm guessing the feathers aren't hers. Lothric "Winged Knights" crafted their armor to look like the Angels. Also I'm guessing "angels" are just what people called them since they don't speak any language other than "stab you in the face"

Nothing but kind to you the whole way through. I say more like Laurentius because it's possible to lead him to an untimely death and then feel terrible about it forever.

Pyromancers are cool pals, sorcerers are haughty dicks. Even Quelana ends up being super nice--she acts all condescending and superior, but really she's super glad to have a pupil and even when she calls you a "fool" it's affectionately.

I've always been bad with multi-mob fights, let alone ones that hit this hard. Is it better to use a quick weapon like my broadsword or a big GS with a lot of reach? Parry them? This is my first souls game, and I feel like i've found the Big Secret of the souls games: parry the loving poo poo out of everything parry knights parry big dogs parry tree balls parry parry parry all fuckin day parry son parry

I have no idea what you guys are doing to get summoned in for PVP so much. I think I went over 20 hours with the Darkmoon symbol equipped as I played through the game and I didn't get a single bite. Not even a message about failing to connect. I can still summon people and could see summon signs all over the place when I was embered so I know I'm not barred or softbanned from online play.

It's weird that everything else works online perfectly, I just can't blue bro. Never tried Watchdogs though. It's too bad, with the frequent invasions I was gonna have fun being the good guy for once.
