the best infusion for the dark sword is to infuse yourself with a big pile a garbage because that's what you are

Is anyone else really disappointed they went into NG+? The enemies aren't scaled anywhere near an end game character and it takes all of your ashes so you literally can't stock up on anything good anymore. I should have just left this character for PVP/future DLC and started a new one poo poo. Does it actually catch up with an endgame character eventually?

They did, NG+ and NG++ have +1/+2 versions of all the rings scattered around and plot items you've already picked up (the ones it doesn't take away anyway) become soul items.

I like helping people at least get to the bonfire before Aldrich, but man I love phantoms of every colour all beating the poo poo out of one another indiscriminately. I just was in one with the host, myself (bluecop currently), mound maker and red phantom. Mound maker would go at me, then decide to turn around and wail on the red phantom.

I should have just left this character for PVP/future DLC and started a new one poo poo. I'm @ SL155 in NG++ and no... nothing scaled much at all except bosses hit harder. Basically you want ~20 Vigor for NG, ~30 for NG+, and 35-40 is fine for NG++ if you aren't good at dodging. If you're good at not getting punched you really dont need vigor at all.

Oh. lol Yeah I really don't like DS3s level layout. As much as the elevator system in DS2 was jarring for scenery transitions, the ability to go p.much anywhere anytime was massively better than the FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD we have now.

I should have just left this character for PVP/future DLC and started a new one poo poo. Yeah, I was so bored with NG+ I ended up deleting that file. It never really reaches the same level of challenge as the original run. It mostly just limits your resources again, which more than anything left me feeling like my progress had pointlessly stalled out. Pretty bummed.

I burned most of my Twinkling on the Fume UGS and regretted it immediately, is there a place later on where it's farmable? Also is the Black Knight Great Axe worth it? I still want a big smashy weapon after the Greatsword and Fume UGS were so underwhelming.

Are there any particularly interesting items you can get from Lothric Castle early? All I can recall is the area showering you in titanite, so I guess you could +9 your weapon super early (not that you'd need it if you've beaten Dancer)

Digital_Jesus posted:Oh. I much prefer the DS1/3 "linear level progression, open individual level design" approach to DS2's "open level progression, linear level design" approach. Dark Souls 2 has a pretty large dearth of loopbacks, preferring instead to give you bonfires one after the other. I think 3 strikes a good balance.

Einwand posted:You don't. That hole is too large to jump over and it's meant to make you wonder how to reach it when you see it from the other side. Reaching that bonfire requires you to go through pretty much the whole zone, and it gives you a bonfire that pretty much just exists to be slightly closer to the boss. I actually did make the jump haha. It was just to get the izalith tome
