YoshiOfYellow posted:I have an alt problem I haven't even finished my run with my silly stupid Luck Knight and I already want to try other stuff. Despite all that I've heard about how miracles are mediocre I still want to try out a faith heavy build. I know I wont get to faceroll the game with lightning like I did in vanilla DS2 but it was still lots of fun. Magic isn't bad in this game, it just has a different soft cap of 60 (int for sorceries, faith for miracles, combined for pyromancies/dark) compared to str/dex having a soft cap of 40. They just require a very heavy stat investment to be anything other than a sometimes thing (outside of pyromancies which are lol-bonkers from the word go). Also, Miracles are kinda frustrating due to how late you find the real damage-inducing stuff. It's all heals/utility early game.

I know I wont get to faceroll the game with lightning like I did in vanilla DS2 but it was still lots of fun. I'm currently running a faithbuild right now, Its somewhat slow and supporty till you get lightning weapon, then you kick everything rear end in. (I was around 35 faith when I got it) Lightning stake can be got pretty early and pretty easy, and hits like a truck if you can time its usage right. I went no-shield and saint's bident for a weapon, with a refined infusion I lucked off the blue redeye guy outside the cathedral across vordt. (its still not very good but its reqs are low so I can pump more faith) Im past 40 faith now and I got lightning spear part 2 so I'm hoping I'll start ramping up soon also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ66OfQ-Yo8

I laughed when they started chucking lloyd's talismans at me and chugging estus No, undead enemies have always been able to use estus. Even some of the very basic undead warriors back in DS1's burgh could do it. The talismans are a nasty trick, though.

They're called "Pilgrim Butterflies" and are presumably what hatched out of the backs of all the dead pilgrims. What I really want to know (other than what the gently caress) is why the pilgrims were ordained to die and turn into those, yet carry shells on their back to keep back the growth (you see twigs poking out). Maybe they were trying to keep them from hatching until they reached Lothric? I really want more info on that stuff in the DLC.

Man it's such a shame Wolnir's Holy Sword is kind of crap. It doesn't even scale on Faith despite requiring it and the cool Wrath of the Gods on L2 doesn't either, supposedly it's just physical and scales with the sword. The cherry on top is the stupid thing isn't even buffable either.

Operant posted:So let me get this straight: The fire is dying because everything dies, even the fire. The lords are indeed loving off, that is going without thrones, but honestly it's very possible they couldn't save the fire anyways. Individually, the Abyss Watchers are probably in a power struggle for total control over their lordship, Aldrich is eating people and gods in preparation for the coming age of darkness, Yhorn is I dunno a big baby or something, and Lothric might be either a coward or convinced that they can't save the fire. Only Ludleth really wants to make an honest go of linking the fires. For Untended Graves, it's worth remembering that time and space get a little weird in Lordran/Drangleic/Lothric, and it seems especially so when the fire starts sputtering out. Both firelink shrines are real but Untended Graves is presumably Ludleth's world. since he knows what that firekeeper there saw. The serpentine darkness stuff lines up pretty well with the rest of the poo poo the Abyss did to people in other games, so presumably it's Abyss poo poo. They'd fit right in at Oolacile.

Covenant item drop rates are really low.  I thought maybe I could just grind out covenant rewards that way but it doesn't look like that's happening either. It's probably just me being bitter about earlier but I hope the drop chance gets buffed some time in the future.Robo Reagan posted:iirc Dark Souls 2 was also about time traveling to the past because the old hag in the beginning was the Emerald lady Where did you read that? I thought she was the fourth sister of the fire keepers, having left Lordran to point undead toward it. Their caretaker mentions how there used to be one more.

Good feelings. When you are wearing the deserters armor set and a +0 morningstar, summon a red sign for giggles, and force somebody using the magical hitbox Vordt hammer and Pursuer's shield to run away and black crystal out with most of your estus left. The vast majority of the damage I took was from the apparent hitbox of the vordt heavy attack being a mile wide, but I got over that eventually. Still baffled I'm not the literal worst at darksouls.

so the untended graves were clearly meant to show the player what the true cost of failure in their task would come down to. the entire "world" has turned black and lifeless and only the most desperate hollowed dregs find ways to cling to their unlife, in the unhollowed graves, the bell of awakening never went off, so the great unkindled summons never took place, and by the time gundyr had finally found firelink in this timeline it was already far too late - this timeline is dead and the age of dark is 100% complete. his whole purpose now is to take the bonfire sword and stab himself with it and hope that the transitory properties of the bonfire sword will pull him into another world on the brink of disaster, but a world that he can still change, and so he breaks the firepit blade off from the firelink shirine in his dead world and takes it back to his chamber and impales himself with it, hoping the next time someone comes around needing the bonfire sword, he'll wake up in a different world / time where there;s still time time to fix what went wrong, essentially he wants your player character to lose the first match at the beginning so that he can take the fire sword back and prove he is the worthy unkindled undeaded that will save the world.
