Turtlicious posted:Wait why reset game? From my understanding quitting and reloading "resets" the world so that when you throw another charm at it, it's like a new roll chance for it to drop the helm. That might be wrong though, that's just what some post told me to do and it worked.

Oh boy, I grabbed the Astora Greatsword for my Miracles build and this damage is glorious. I was using a Raw Astora Straight Sword and it only did 322 damage, or ~115 Physical + 220 Lightning if I infused that way, that obviously not worth it compared to buffing it. The Astora Greatsword does 171 + 212 Lightning damage infused  I guess ~150 physical on top is nice too.

Mortimer posted:Summon On a first playthrough it's beat them myself or nothing. It's stubborn I know, but I'd feel like I haven't actually beaten them otherwise. Anyway, I know what needs to be done, I can get close enough to smell victory, it's just a matter or time and a little bit of luck and I'll be moving past her. Every single Souls game, there is always one boss that is like a brick wall for me and I'll spend 2-3 days just getting hammered till finally putting them down and after that everything else is smooth sailing (I hope!).

SubponticatePoster posted:Anyone got tips for Aldritch? I've thrown my summon sign down a few times now to learn his patterns, but when it's me in the hotseat all the fucker does is spam the arrow rain and scythe blasts. I've learned to run from the arrows and dodge the wave but he just switches back from one to the other so I can't close to get him down. When I'm phantoming I do fine unless the host is an idiot (note: they are frequently idiots but at least twice now I've taken him out myself while the host runs and hides). I'm using the Crest shield to reduce dark damage and the Ithryll SS for fast attacks along with the ring that increases your damage if you can get multiple hits in. Be aggressive as balls. Keep yourself on his tail and wail like a madman and he can't do much about you other than the explosion that results from him diving in the floor. You want to minimize the amount of time spent at distance.

I've been jolly cooperating at dancer for sunlight medals in between dungeon crawling. One time on phase 2 when she did her constant spin move, I was way too close and ended up perfectly rolling in sync with every spin and not taking any damage. Dancing indeed  edit: also I have like 15-16 vigor and wear the life ring and I'm near the end game I think. I also always had dramatically less health than anyone ever said was required for bloodborne. Doesn't matter so long as you can survive exactly 1 hit of most attacks and do a ton of damage yourself. DS3 enemies definitely do a poo poo ton of damage though. Random hollows near the dragon bridge were knifing me for most of my health.

Zombies' Downfall posted:I kind of miss the powerful rings from Dark Souls actually, having four slots and weaker rings is probably like objectively better from a balance point of view but it's not like there were only two good rings in Dark Souls or something (Havel/DWGR is infamous but off the top of my head FAP and Wolf were just as generically good, Hornet was great for crit weapons and PVP, the Covetous rings had a larger downside to choosing to wear them while you fought a boss or farmed, etc) I wouldn't really say they're weaker. Like, of the rings that appeared in previous games, the only ones to be nerfed significantly are Havel's, FAP, and Flynn's (maybe Chloranthy). Everything else is as good or better and there are tons of potentially good new rings (e.g. the Lloyd Rings, the Aldritch Rings,

Coolwhoami posted:If you're trying to invade in the area after the first boss, keep in mind either people are going to be decent and through that area pretty quick or bad and die, losing their ember. It may even be that the game doesn't allow invasions there, but if you've been able to use cracked orbs that would be odd. It was the very beginning of the first area that Firelink sends you. Eventually I got somebody while I stepped out of the room.

Desperate Character posted:A really easy way to farm quick souls/large titanite shards later in the game with chaos orb is the Anor Londo bonfire. Equip all the +fire damage rings and the silver covetous ring (as well as the shield of want + mimic head if you have those) and chaos orb the spear silver knight while you back up to the rotating stairs where he will de-aggro. Keep baiting his spear-dive into the stairway so you get the full damage on him. Finish him off with the Crystal Sage Rapier for a better chance of shards and then do the same for the sword silver knight. Easier to parry them tbh

I wish you could pick up the Giant's Coal way earlier. I want to start out with a Chaos Longsword or something for a quality Dark Magic Pyromancer. Also, is it too early to start posting builds, and talking about builds? I want to get the most out of Dark Blade, but if I invest the 30 levels into Faith and Int, I then have to get STR and DEX up to like, 20 each for the Dark Sword which has S rank scaling with chaos, and you need 50 vitality for poise in PVP, which means you're not going to have a good buil until level 80 or 90. It's sad really, because dark spells can do upwards for 1500 damage to players, but you're so hosed by cast times. I wish spells cast faster, especially Dhorys' Gnaw By the way, can everyone see the spreadsheet I posted earlier that explains dark scaling?

I killed half of the crabs in Smouldering Lake while the crossbow was still activated. They got a lot of health but they aren't that hard and most of their attacks are pretty well telegraphed. The guys that got to me were the Deer Warlocks in Farron's Keep as sometimes it got real hard to keep track of both him and the red skulls homing in on you.
