I accidentally landed on Leonhard's head. Now I have to pay 33000 souls to calm him down. Look before you leap, chaps :saddowns:

33,000 sounds like just the right amount to forgive getting teabagged from 20 feet up.

I actually find Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 to be very similar. From a visual design standpoint. Both are fantastic products, imo. I think Bloodborne is a bit tighter, all things said and done.

The only one in the game is the Pyromancer Crown (it's a sort of headband with a small bit of antler sticking off to the side), which you can purchase from Cornyx once you free him from the Undead Settlement. Atrocious physical absorption, but it's lightweight and has some good elemental absorption on it.

Actually, I lied here. There's a second one (the Dusk Crown, located next to a white tree in Farron Keep), but it's only really of interest if you're a pure Sorcerer.

I'm getting a lot better at parrying and it's making PvP a lot more fun. A lot of people seem to not realize that parrying is something you can even do. I rarely am on the receiving end of it, and even after being hit by one nerds still want to hammer R1 at me.

Also the Zweihander owns.

I'm surprised it's still easy to get summoned for the Yhorm fight. When I was stuck on the Dancer (maybe I was underleveled?? idk), Yhorm kept me from running out of Embers (and gives like 10k souls if you are wearing that one ring), and since the fight is a dumb gimmick (especially if you target the sword at his dumb head) it made for the best farming of embers up to that point.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Where's a good guide to the DS1 and DS2 plots? I feel like I'm missing a lot of story stuff. Like, I know via internet osmosis that the general deal is "The Fire which is basically the thing making the world Not poo poo Less poo poo is going out, and the age of darkness is coming. Previously Gwyn linked himself to the flame to keep it going, then in DS1 you kill him and take his place (or don't, but that's not what's in the past of DS3). In DS2... stuff happens? With giants? And now in DS3 things have declined further and it apparently takes more souls to keep the Fire going, and everything is terrible.

Also: beat the first phase of AW! Now it's time to Git Gud so I can get my greedy claws on that sweet-rear end armor.

Speaking of things carried over from Bloodborne, is there really no way to mitigate the jailer's HP drain? Frenzy sucked but at least you could carry sedatives and burn your insight.

Dealing with Jailers is way less annoying once you realize they can only drain you via direct line of sight + red eyes. Just wait behind a corner for their eyes to turn blue, then rush out and kill them in 3 hits before their eye thing takes effect. I was never really scared of them.

Except for that one room...

havels havels havels

I got the boulder skill and it does like 100 damage on a good day with a long windup. Unless you have 0 latency perfect pvp havels is better for a lot more builds.

Maybe if you're toptier pvp extreme duelist the boulder might be a sweet trick though.

Dancer took me a handful of tries. The only thing that'd get me is the weird timing on her grab and her second phase sword dance before I figured out that she doesn't know how to dance through a pillar.

It'd be better if you couldn't accomplish what it tries to do more easily and effectively with Rope Firebombs or, hell, just wheeling around with an Estoc and stabbing your pursuer a couple of times.

If you've beaten the Deacons already, then yes. If you lose to an NPC invader they will spawn in the same spot again as long as you're embered and the area boss is alive.

Dammit, this Watchdogs covenant issue is so frustrating. I started a new character who from SL 23 - 27 has only had 3 autosummons in two days of chilling in the woods and the poison swamp. Haven't infused any weapons, haven't reinforced any boss weapons. Highest reinforcement is +2 rapier and +2 broadsword.

structured will probably be 120 again so 120 plus the matchmaking range = what everyone is going to be at

The rumblings on Reddit are that certain people's games/connections are simply flat-out broken for autoinvades. There's people with identical SLs/weapon upgrades who are getting summoned at wildly varying rates. Whether this is a consequence of certain ports being blocked, some weird softban issue (re: the "getting banned due to moving items around in your item box offline" thing), or From Software not knowing what a computer is remains to be seen.
