Zaphod42 posted:Don't really know what to say about this other than I completely disagree. Don't feel like getting in a fight about it. But part whole reason I loved DS1 is because it felt like a proper 3D Castlevania, yeah... saying "go play Castlevania instead then!" is kinda a dick thing to say dude. They're not making any more anyways so why do you care so much what I want? Jeeze. Go play Metroid instead.

Started a Pyro and have been sunbroing for Tree Nuts and Big Hat Sage. Tonight I twice encountered the bug where the Sage was unkillable. Both times I'm pretty sure it happened because the real one dipped out when there were illusions still on the field, and the illusions didn't despawn.

Finally killed nameless king, something like 20 attempts. It's crazy that people don't think it's the hardest in the game, he's the only boss you can't completely cheat with pyromancy. He's the first boss I had to get out a melee weapon and actually play dark souls in. Reinforced Dark Sword +10 grass shield on back thunder resist gear sub 70 equip load lloyds ring of swords thunder resist ring ring of favor dex ring (I forgot dark sword needed more dex) that was my setup, dark sword completely OP. I've heard of people using the dragonslayer greatshield, but the attacks you wish you can block you can't block so that sucks. Great chaos fire orb was too slow for this fight, circling around his left side and swinging when he's open is what did him in.

ultrachrist posted:Can someone explain what the heck is going on, lore-wise, with the untended graves? i assumed that was the state of firelink in the current timeline of lothric. since the abyss is treated as an ocean that slowly rises, and since firelink is well below lothric (and seems a bit below other stuff as well), I guessed firelink was the 'lowpoint' of lothric, and had been consumed by the abyss. i also assume that is why there were so many of those abyss monster guys in consumed kings gardens, since it seemed to be the low point of lothric castle itself and the abyss was already seeping through the ground there.

If character names (PS4) could be just one letter longer I could have made BLACK KNIGHT 2000 for an awesome PvP gimmick, but that'd been well over 30 points of Vitality, upwards of 36 strength and boatloads of endurance just to get R1 spammed

ultrachrist posted:Can someone explain what the heck is going on, lore-wise, with the untended graves? That's mostly what I thought too, "hey it's the Old Workshop!" In Bloodborne it was someplace used in the past by Gherman, before he became Dream Gherman. In DS3 I'm not sure, like why is it behind Oceiros? There was a very interesting item description on Champ's armor though: "Gundyr, or the Belated Champion, was bested by an unknown warrior. He then became sheath to a coiled sword in the hopes that someday, the first flame would be linked once more." So it is very similar to the Old Workshop again in the sense that it is surely sometime in the past, and Champ and Iudex are the same guy. So to work from that: you wound Champ, he becomes the sheath, but that wound is also infected by a dark mass. Iudex carries this dark mass through the ages, but if he is the only origin point this means that you, the Unkindled, are responsible for all the goopy dragon monsters. Looking at the other new enemies there, there are dogs and grave wardens. Lets assume the dogs just belong to the grave wardens and there isn't some extended dog lore to go into. Why are the grave wardens there, when these are the Untended Graves? You do find the grave wardens outside the Cathedral of the Deep as well, but more importantly they are specifically mentioned in High Lord Wolnir's item descriptions. These descriptions aren't very well written though and seem a little confusing. Wolnir seems to be both a conqueror and a grave warden (and a pyromancer), but on top of that there were other grave wardens that learned from him or discovered separately from him certain Abyssal magicks. -------------------------------------- Grave Warden Pyromancy Tome - A pyromancy tome of the grave warden, from the Carthus catacombs. Give to the pyromancer master to learn black flame sorceries. High Lord Wolnir of Carthus succumbed to the Abyss, but the pyromancer later became a grave warden, and discovered the black flame. Black Flame (from tome) - Pyromancy discovered by grave wardens after High Lord Wolnir fell to the Abyss. Creates a giant, black flame in hand. Black flames born from the Abyss bear no shadow. They are said to be the impenetrable fires of humanity. Black Fire Orb (from tome) - Pyromancy discovered by grave wardens after High Lord Wolnir fell to the Abyss. Hurls a black fireball. The black flame inflicts dark damage, striking targets with weighty force. Black Serpent (from soul) - Pyromancy discovered from the Abyss by High Lord Wolnir that inspired the black arts of the grave wardens. Releases undulating black flames that trace the ground. Be it sorcery or pyromancy, all techniques that infringe on humanity lead to the same place. That is to say, they all seek a will of their own. Wolnir's Holy Sword (from soul) - A holy sword eroded by the Abyss. When Wolnir fell to the Abyss, he was gripped by a fear of true darkness, and pleaded to the gods for the first time. This holy sword, together with three armlets stripped from the corpses of clerics, gave him some semblance of comfort. [three clerics huh? and Wolnir is a giant skeleton, gee what could this be referencing blahblahblah] Wolnir's Crown (from maiden) - Crown of Wolnir, the Carthus conqueror. Once upon a time, such things were bequeathed judiciously to each of the rightful lords, until Wolnir brought them to their knees, and ground their crowns to dust. Then the crowns became one, and Wolnir, the one High Lord. -------------------------------------- Of course, Wolnir might be a completely separate encounter with the Abyss from anything going on with Untended Graves. Is there anything dropped by the dark mass/dragon goop creatures that addresses their nature directly? e: I agree that Untended Graves could be a location from a time when the Prince refused to link the fire. e2: I almost forgot but there is also a cluster of corvians in UG, where their only other association seems to be the Painted World and the Road of Sacrifices. There is one in Irithyll praying to a grave, that's the closest you find them to the actual Painted World. turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Apr 21, 2016 |

That poo poo is ridiculous. +10 Heavy Dark Sword is legitimately one of the game's best PVE weapons and is honestly downright broken. It has 400 AR at 40 STR, which is just nuts for a weapon with the straight sword R1s. One day they'll figure out how to actually balance weapon speed for PVE, especially on bosses, but for now I'd almost always recommend a Dark Sword for STR builds and some kind of Rapier for DEX.

 Um... so I'm on NG+ and I paid a little more attention when I jumped down the Firelink tower this time around. Those are all firekeepers. Maybe even the same firekeeper because of how space-time works in Dark Souls. From could've used the same model to save resources, or it's intentional that all the firekeepers have the same hair style as ours. I'm having flashbacks to that exact same scene in Triangle, the Groundhog Day style horror movie. The Firelink shrine is hosed up, yo!

turtlecrunch posted:She is really hard to notice because she is in a big gently caress-off room and there is no light on her whatsoever. To be more specific (exact spoiled location ahead): she is located in a cell at the bottom level of Irithyll Dungeon at the very back of a small hallway, next to a cell with one of the Crucified Hollows in it. You need the Jailer's Key Ring to open up her cell, which can be obtained in the Profane Capital by going up the stairs next to the chapel in the poison swamp. Note that she also accepts both Dark braille tomes once you ask her about them twice, allowing you to avoid corrupting Irina-chan. killstealing posted:but then there's 2 Y'know how everyone complained heartily about Dark Souls 2 having lots of multiple strong enemy encounters? Well, no one listened, because the game is more-or-less impossible to complete unless you're either a massive coward who's willing to run past everything or someone with a bow who's willing to tediously pull everything one at a time to take them down.
