Kurtofan posted:any pro strats for the lothric princes and the nameless king. The second one I found really difficult as melee, lightning is effective against the first phase but i think less effective against the second. In the area you can find a dragonslayer spear which will make the first phase a lot quicker at least. For the second phase put on a lightning absorption ring and learn his attack timings is all I can think of. Good luck!

Silver Knight Stairs + knowing how to tackle those enemies at the fastest possible speed. Tons of armour, tons of souls, covenant-turnins once every 150+ kills at the rate I'm going at with 323 itemfind.

Basically you summon him for the fight, let him die, then quit out and summon him again. He will no longer have hitboxes so he can just stand in front of Dancer and slowly take her down. Also, you need to be sure not to kill Vordt to be able to summon the Sword Master. Rubellavator fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Apr 22, 2016 |

Still messing around with a Pyro for my second character. So, does messing around with the dark sign mean you have to spend all game looking like dusty beef jerky? I'm using a guide because I'm weak, btw.

You can also use the purging stones Yuria sells to unhollow yourself without penalty. A bit expensive, but on the flipside, it doesn't take a ring slot and having some purging stones on hand is never a bad thing.

Well I wanna keep the Dark Sign, so I'm not going to give that item to that npc to cure it. The ring I didn't know about, so that answers my question. Thanks.

Watching a friend run SL106 invasions in NG+ and it's nothing but host+3summon encounters for him no matter which zone. And bluebros, sometimes two. Jesus gently caress. e: now he got what I experienced one invasion, that the triple-summon lameass host summoned a friend playing purplebro so it becomes host+4 summons for the non-boss parts. Yet even then those five dickless pieces of poo poo stand in safety waiting, gesturing for this one invader to come up to them and fight.

I'm working on upping my faith on my dex-heavy character, someone tell me the cool miracles to use as supplements to chaos blade and/or lightning-infused great scythe melee. Lightning spear seemed really weak when I tried it out, but that was at only 20 faith or so. Also are some talismans/chimes markedly better or worse than others? I've been using the Sunlight Talisman because nostalgia but it's only +6 so I'm not super heavily invested in it.

Did they separate NG from NG+ matchmaking again? I haven't taken my SL100 character to NG+ yet so maybe that's why he can't get any blue summons.

SL 72 - 82, +10 weapons, and 0 luck. I've pretty much resigned myself to silver knight farming. On NG++, I suspect that I'll probably earn enough to take my entire inventory from +3 (currently) to +6. Edit: When the password system does connect, it seems to be without restrictions.

I am having a devil of a time trying to solo... Crystal Sage  I'm a squishy level 27 pyro with most of my levels going into Int/Faith. As soon as the multiple summons show up, I catch crisscrossing soul spears in the back and raining crystal in my dome piece. This is my second playthrough, so I'm trying to rush through, but some of this poo poo is loving hard even when you know the game.

Donnerberg posted:You can kind of infer what they are by their actions near the end. They support in one of the boss fights, attacking you with spells identical to the butterflies in Dark Souls 1, only it's dark type magic. I think it's implied that they got corrupted and hosed up by the Dark Souls 3 world having gone past its expiration date. And...well... we've seen some pilgrims around, haven't we? Alternatively they are butterflies who are also pilgrims. Somehow.

Potentially unpopular opinion time, but so far I feel confident in saying that Dark Souls 3 is better than 1. Core gameplay has taken the best parts of DS, DkS, and DkS2 and put them all together, enemy design is nicely varied, as are the locations, and the level design is honestly outdoing Dark Souls in a lot of places. DkS had fantastic level design, don't get me wrong, but 3 has that same sprawling, interconnected feel that 1 has with the level of sheer design quality that DS and Bloodborne had. The only area that's felt kind of off has been Smouldering Lake and considering what it's supposed to be it makes a lot of sense. I suppose the only area 3 is solidly losing to 1 in is upgrading, in both availability of materials and ability to upgrade your armor. FromSoft, why do you continue to think this is a good idea?

I finished up Hawkwood's quest. Dueled him wearing Artorias' full garb, including the sword and greatshield. I like to think he'd have appreciated that, the crestfallen arse. It was actually a really good duel. He's easily the most interesting of the Crestfallen archetypes in the series.

No, the only thing that determines matchmaking is SL and Weapon Reinforcement. Be it your first run or NG++++++. Blue Summons are just rare, even in the lower SL. The hot spot for Sentinels and Watchdogs is unfortunately sub SL40.

Man, I want to get attunement up to 24 from 18 for the extra attunement slot because 3 + 1 from the ring kind of sucks and also the darkmoon covenant won't work, but six levels is a lot and I'm level 75 at the Irithyll Dungeon. I need 10 more to hit the fire softcap, and I want more hp too.
