That seems like a very solid strategy that could not backfire and turn you into fishmen in any conceivable way.

now featuring all the knights of gwyn at once

This would legit be awesome though. Maybe not all at once but as some kind of ridiculous super boss gauntlet. Start off with Ornstein and Smaugh because you can't have one without the other, no super form this time, and once they're down Artorias enters the arena backed up by Gough, and at half health or something Ciaran joins the fight to make it a complete clusterfuck.

Equip the Flame Stoneplate, put on your most fire resistant armor, cast Flash Sweat, and BOOK IT. Stop to chug 2 flasks each time your HP gets to about half and you should be able to make it.

I was surprised that there's a non-player message explicitly saying how to kill the Ancient Wyvern. Maybe they playtested it late and realized people wouldn't figure it out without a bit of prompting?

It's deffo the most story focused Soulsborne game.

And the DLC really ramps up how hosed up everything is in that world.

"Yo these aliens are basically outside the cycle of life and death but they can't have kids, they're all stillborn, so they've been hunting around for vessels for their hosed up alien babies and they found us, and have been trying for generations to try and make human-alien hybrids so they can actually breed for real and then some people found out about this poo poo when they found some of them and went "holy shitballs lets drink their loving blood" and they got cured of all their illnesses so a big church sprung up around this poo poo but it's making people go mad and the aliens are being literally called in by the church people and holy poo poo everything's all hosed up my dude!"

the dlc did a pretty good job of hammering home the point that humans are genocidal fuckheads and the great ones are more or less victims rather than malevolent beings like we thought. it's a pretty big 180 from the base game, too. makes sense in hindsight, though

Any high pyromancers (40/40+ int/fth) wanna use Carthus Flame Arc and post their pyromancy glove stats (damage + spellbuff) and how much it increases your weapons damage.

Trying to figure out the formula but with low numbers it seems to be 82(SpellBuff/100)

How would I go about doing this? I have exactly 40/40 on my current build with a +10 pyro glove.

Kill Sword Master in Firelink, summon him if you still can (probably not after doing vordt) let him die, quit the game as he's dying, reload in, summon him again, walk in and let him beat her solo since he has no Hitbox anymore.

Works to get the garden/two drakes one bridge area about 20 minutes into the game, too. Opens up some builds for sure.

Same. I thought I was good at video games, but it turns out I'm actually not that good at video games :(


What do y'all recommend I do with my weapon(s) as a Pyromancer? I'd love to infuse Chaos but you don't get that until you're mostly done with the game (:rolleyes:) so I have no idea what to use until then. Raw, I suppose? I really wanted to use the comical Great Wooden Hammer but it looks like that'll suck a lot without any stat investment, so for now I'm using a Warpick (a weapon I've never used before).

Just tell me your pyro glove stats in your equip screen [XXX + XX / Spellbuff XX] and buff your weapon with the pyromancy [Equip Pyromancy in left hand, use a non unique/boss weapon in right] and tell me how much it increases the damage in the status screen.

the boss soul? it can be made into a cool weapon or some kind of spell iirc. if you want to use that weapon for more than the end of the game, killing that boss early is how you do it

The suggestion I saw that I liked the most was that they could be summoned without your ember. So, less reliable than white or gold phantoms, but don't require a resource investment.
