You get extra iframes on your roll from the Carthus Bloodring in the catacombs. No flips though sorry to let you down this way.

I'm supposed to be able to give the blacksmith estus shards to get more flasks right? I have 2 shards but don't see an option to use them. Do I need some specific number?

the description says it does and if it doesn't it's goddamn worthless because it definitely debuffs your damage resistance

that's my proof.

What do you mean unused, that's the bonefist from DS2. Get it from Eleum Loyce area.

PLEASE LEAVE

To be fair we did get the Bone Fists in the Ivory King DLC which is arguably one of the most awesome things they've ever added. You literally do Hadoukens with them and have pretty wide move set too.

It's in DS2 and it's a drat shame they didn't include it in DS3. Again, I'm gonna blame all you people who whined about DS2 :colbert:

Speaking of the Carthus Bloodring, if you use rings like that or the Clutch rings who give you negative damage absorption.. do you actually take even more damage than 0 armor? Because that makes it feel like they're not worth using, consdering enemies are already two-shotting me with armor.

Eh, I don't notice much survivability difference between wearing the fire clutch ring or not. Very likely unless you stack like four of them at once it wouldn't make stuff one shot you.

The difference between 20 something absorption and 10 something absorption is smaller than you would think. It's like 1 less straight sword hit. The only real problem is that you will generally get one shot riposted by non-hornet ring strength weapons instead of taking 80-90% damage but I think it's worth it.

After like ~40 attempts in which he killed me in the first fifteen seconds something clicked and I finally beat NK. Goddamn, did that feel good, and such a good fight to finish off the series. The curved sword I made from him isn't too shabby either.

It took me so, so many times to solo Champ Grundyr, but I finally did it, and every fight thereafter has been an absolute cakewalk. So thanks Champion Grundyr. All those times dying to your golf swing + side kick combo with your sliver of life left was worth it so that I could GIT GUD.

Question regarding what happens after the Boss at the end of Lothric Castle:

I defeated him and got the Cinders of a Lord from him, and I assumed the King Lothric throne in Firelink Shrine would be where I put it (despite him only being a Prince?), but I don't seem to be getting an option to interact with it - am I missing something incredibly obvious?

Placing them can be a bit finicky, try standing a little bit away.

They seem selectively broken. Some people get constant summons at all soul levels, others (like me) are lucky to get one summon in 80 hours

NESguerilla posted:

Yes, using red summon sign + pw works.

Additional observations from my friend-op run tonight:

1) You can shoot the "butterflies" during the DSA fight but I did less damage vs them than to DSA itself, need to test more for weaknesses
2) Regarding being unable to enter boss doors: Dancer is the absolute worst boss for this, but it started happening to us again at DSA until we noticed that each other's characters animate correctly through the whole level UNTIL we're within about 10ft of the boss door. At that point, the host's character tends to start sliding around without animation, while the phantom looks fine for the host. If we waited 15-30 seconds, the host would go back to normal animations, and the phantom could enter the boss door 100% of the time. Prior to Dancer and DSA we had zero problems entering fog walls.

I think people just don't wear the Way of the Blue sigil when they're out pve-ing. I make it a point to wear it when not doing covenant things and have had a 100% success rate for a blue to show up if a red invades me.

the option to put it should be somewhere in front of the chair, underneath its platform or something.

Its weird.

What people wear way of blue? People who haven't found anything else yet. I'm getting steady summons on my lvl15 +2 weapon character. I get to own guys specced out for killing noobs. Had a match today where I killed two reds and a purple for 3 ears. Never saw the host.

Edit: blue copping rules. Reds only want to pvp. Way better than invading against scaredy cat host of embers.

I had to unequip the blue sentinel covenant, I was getting summoned too frequently.

I got summoned twice in a row, zero downtime, while trying to explore an area. It was really annoying how frequent that could get.

E: I couldn't even enjoy it, because half the time I'd get a connection error.
