Message chat was a while back thread moves to fast. I put down "Visions of Hole" outside of Greatwood's doorway and I get probably 3-5 positive ratings on that thing every time I log on.

BobTheJanitor posted:Normally stuff like that creeps me out, but those enemies are just so over the top that it kind of wraps around to being hilarious. Like hello I'm a spider centipede demon with 10,000 legs and no face and evil hair and I scream when you stab me and... I don't know, there's a limit to horror where it just becomes comedy. I mean, if I found one under my bed I'd probably scream and need a change of pants, but that's a different story. They'd be more frightening if I couldn't just hold up a shield and then whack them three times to kill them.

Can you parry the final boss. Every time I try I get mulched. Also this final boss is easily the best in the series goddamn.

on bluecops, you seem to get much more summons when embered. Though I could be wrong and often am

So, I can't find a particular npc at church of yorshka, yet i killed a related npc earlier in smouldering lake. She gave me the ring just after the boss fight in the catacombs. What gives? Also, is summoning NPC's disabled in offline mode? I haven't seen a single summon sign anywhere while embered.

 Spooky Bear Ghost posted:I'm glad that weapons arts dont devour weapon durability like they did in ds2 Yeah, along with vanilla DS2's durability issues it really put a damper on my usage of ~cool moves~ in that game. Also, the Swordspear is the coolest weapon in the game so who cares how much it weighs

I can't imagine how I could ever manage to kill Nameless King right now. I can stomp the first phase flat without taking any damage but I consistently die in like the first 15-20 seconds after, even after I stopped two handing and switched to a shield with high lightning resist. I think on my best attempt I got like, a tenth of his healthbar off. I feel... beaten.

Just used an ember for the very first time, just to see what it was like to survive the dancer's grab attack. It worked! But then she immediately followed it up with an AOE explosion that killed me instantly. Back to pretending embers don't exist, I guess.

Just got the Twins left but they are a real bitch, only way I can put out enough damage on the backrider is by soulstreaming him when the big guy is down and that kind of blows through my FP and ashen estus fast. Tried summoning dudes twice, they both died in the first phase, rip. Try try again I guess!

Turns out he's not all that hard once you do that.

I finally got my first summons as a blue sentinel and there were two mound makers fighting each other. My dumb rear end killed the wrong one, and the host died right before I finished off the correct one so I didn't get any reward. Crap.

I let my sunbrow tank while I tossed Gnaw +1 at him, and the bleed proc hit for around 900, which was every other cast, which did 200 or so on their own. Hes deffo a brutal boss though, Feels like a DLC end boss

Been rolling my way through every boss besides Champion Gundyr, but not even he gave me as much trouble. He just does a stupid amount of damage such that every time I get hit I need to estus. I've been working on not rolling backwards against him but I keep loving up and it's hella demoralizing because the first phase is easy but takes a while.

Alot of the attacks are delayed, so when you see do his big rear end wing, wait a second or two, then roll. That one always throws me off. I did have a shield but he just drains your bar with all that hitting. It is safe to chug an estus if he does his long lighting stab and then he swings because he waits a second before going crazy again. Hang tight in there. He's probably one of the hardest bosses. Hell I think he's harder than the final boss to me (who is a goddamn good fight too)

Obscuring ring + standing on the other side of the cutty bridge + dropping something just in range of seeing the obscuring ring user = my new fun. NK is a boss I now understand - it's a hardhitting monster. Rolling and knowing moves. Must have been 50 deaths over all characters to it now, I can reliably get nail it with one summon for drawing attention away. Enjoyable encounter. e: pro-tip for invaders, buy the cheapest weapon or armour a lots of them, stash away what you won't use or need in the field, and drop loot for players to zoom for Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Apr 23, 2016 |

I didn't realize you could do a Bloodborne style visceral attack on the dragon if you beat it in the head a few times, so that speeds things up considerably. Thanks for the replies all, I know I'll get it eventually, I just need to vent. Even if the first phase is easy I love it a lot, it's probably my favorite dragon fight/moveset in the series.

He's the hardest souls boss, makes Artorias and Fume Knight look like chumps. Although because of that, he was the most fun souls boss yet. It felt kinda bittersweet to finally get him down, like the coyote catching the roadrunner. Oh well there's always NG+

i'm not really sure my all lightning all the time faith melee build (lightning infusions on weapons that get S faith scaling) is working out well. I can get to like ~550 AR buffed on obidachi for instance but I'm sure I could get just as much on a quality build and not split my damage types either. not sure.

I generally don't worry too much about how I beat a boss. If I need to summon some dudes to help me curbstomp some fucker, I'll do it and enjoy it. But holy hell, something about CG made me really want to beat him solo. It took me 2 hours and I feel like I made more mistakes on my successful run than on my first, but I did it. And I enjoyed every minute of it. It doesn't look like his weapon lets me use his moves, which is bullshit.

So after two failed to connects I finally got a blue summon and the host was already dead. Still more action for that covenant at SL17 than I've seen over 3 playthroughs.

Is Bleed a thing in PVE for the player? As in our weapons, can they inflict it if properly set up?

Is the damage from a fire infusion affected by the Fire Clutch Ring or anything else? If not then I'm probably better off infusing with Raw since Fire splits the damage, right?

Dandywalken posted:Is Bleed a thing in PVE for the player? As in our weapons, can they inflict it if properly set up? Look at the leftmost number under Additional effects, that's your weapon's bleed build-up. Some weapons have it innately and some you can infuse.

Dandywalken posted:Is Bleed a thing in PVE for the player? As in our weapons, can they inflict it if properly set up? Yeah, you'll see it go off with a big blood splat and sound effect on the enemy, same as if it happens to you. Generally you want a fast weapon to make it work, because it seems like their bar works the same as yours does and will drain if you don't keep applying it constantly.

Nihilarian posted:The Dragonslayer Swordspear makes Faith feel worth it. it's cool but It didn't seem super good, i loved the weapon art but my stats were so split (40 faith, 20 dex 20 str 20 end 20 vigor 16 vit 14 attunement) that I don't feel like I can maximize it very well.

Your Computer posted:Is the damage from a fire infusion affected by the Fire Clutch Ring or anything else? If not then I'm probably better off infusing with Raw since Fire splits the damage, right? Fire Clutch does boost Fire infusions but unless the enemy is weak to fire, Raw will be doing similar or better damage because split damage seems really awful in this game.

We're back in the wacky world of flat damage reduction for elemental damage, something that Dark Souls 2 explicitly removed so that split damage wouldn't be as atrocious. I just don't understand how they made a goddamn bad design decision that was already fixed in the previous game!
