Hey cool I saved Onion bro from the well, but since I had already been to the prison before the kitchen I guess he never registered as "there". I talked to patches endlessly after sending Greirat To Irithyl and never was given the other option for him to save Greirat. RIP young thief. You got hosed because of a kinda convoluted trigger line.

Dazzling Addar posted:Dealing with the Grave Wardens is mostly about learning which of their attacks give them super armor. They can be stunlocked pretty easily by faster weapons, up until the point where they wind up one of their uninterruptable moves. I don't remember off hand which these are, but I think the ones where they sort of dodge to the side and twirl around can't be stopped except with like a really heavy weapon. I think. I'd need to double check to be sure. Yeah, it's that hyperarmor spin move that gets me. I'm really bad at predicting it. Right now I'm just employing the time-honored "run right past" strategy but I'll have to git gud against then eventually. Maybe I'll try a strong shield. Ever since I got the Gotthard Twinswords I never want to not be dual wielding.

Dazzling Addar posted:Invasions in this game require a significant change in tactics and mindset from how you normally play. When you're outnumbered, you have to play smarter, not harder, and think about victory differently. If you're up against a host and 3 phantom friends camping a bonfire, then just remember this: you are the one who has allocated time to invading, but they are only trying to progress. If your presence is keeping them from progressing, then that's already a small victory. Eventually, they might get bored and venture forth, which is when you can punish them as they're dealing with enemies and environmental obstacles. If they pop a giant tree seed, well, things get even rougher, but they're still vulnerable to enemies so if you play it smart, you can still win that way. If you're part of Rosaria's fingers, it's also worthwhile to gun aggressively for any blue phantoms that appear. They drop double tongues, so if you can remove at least them from the equation, you get a reward even if the host survives. Mound Makers have a slightly easier time of things, since they can just pick off phantoms as they come and still fulfill their duty. Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. I think I need to learn more about hit boxes, when to roll, when to attack. I think the warden swords are making it super difficult too considering the poo poo damage they do and even if I get enough hits to bleed them sometimes it just doesn't even do the damage because who knows dark souls pvp. Also what the gently caress it the point of the kick flip with curved swords instead of just the guard break kick. People can just shield me all day long with no way to punish them.

He's like the only boss in the series where it's safer to stand in front of him than behind him, because he doesn't kick when you're in front of him. My strat was to back off, stand far away, roll forwards through his first combo hit, poke once, roll backwards through the second hit, and back off again. Weirdly the gap between hits in his combos are often larger than the gaps between combos.

It will enable all sorts of hit-and run tactics, or just sniping at opportune times. You actually have to get fairly close before you're visible. Course, you'll need 10 pale tongues in the first place to get it!

Its cool getting 25k souls from one invasion at level 34 because the sunbro you killed was a passworded Havel knight from endgame  My invasions are so bad today. I thought as soon as I got the barbed sword things would be peachy but it hasn't helped much.

I just want to put it out there, that in TWO play-throughs I was trading Homeward Bones to the Crow and managed to hit back step instead of pick up, falling off the rafter and dying. When that happens, the item despawns, and you can't trade for it again. I guess I was never meant to be a true Sun Bro.

I'm just coming from Bloodborne and I think I read somewhere that you can sort of put together a Bloodborne-ish build with certain stats and items? Is that 1) true? 2) viable? 3) fun? Or should I stick to my traditional high-str heavy-armor guy

You can parry champ gundy, even when he goes into turbo gundy mode I dunno if that should be spoilered or not but whatever, Champ gundy is a fun boss fight, and his halberd owns.

But the amount of healing is pretty small compared to BB's regain. Not nearly enough to instantly return health lost from a hit. So no, you can't quite play like BB.

Stay under 70% equip load, two-hand your favourite weapon and put on the carthus bloodring when you find it.

Like on the worse end of DS3 boss runs, which are pretty good, but not bad at all in comparison to the series in total (Seathe Logarius  Freyja  )

So what exactly is the glitch you have to perform to get the swordmaster to kill the dancer for you? I wanna get the red tearstone and hornet ring early to try some cheesy nonsense with stealthy dagger backstabs. No idea how I'm gonna kill Gundyr though unless I master the parry.

Which makes me wonder if you could do the same trick on that boss? Does it work on other npc phantoms or only katanamana?
