Internet Kraken posted:The scythe comes from Priscilla, as is stated by the description of the miracle version you get of it. I thought the scythe was kinda from her? I believe the description states that it's a memory of Gwyndolin's or something along those lines, not that it's directly hers.

Mazerunner posted:Probably Rosaria's, actually. Very slightly faster and a bit safer. Or untended graves but that's late game. Hmmm. Or actually if you start at the Chapel bonfire at the cathedral, and take the first shortcut, but then go back outside there's two wardens there, but that's sort of a long run. Untended Graves is absolutely the best spot since there's 2 wardens directly ahead from the first bonfire. If you're stuck with the Cathedral... there's options but none of them are super quick. From Rosaria's across the ledges and out the shortcut door to the graveyard is probably quick but it may also be pretty quick to go from the Chapel bonfire past the maggot beasts and climb the ladder up into the graveyard.

So I'm having a lot of fun using the Lothric Knight Spear - seriously, that thing has some serious loving range to it - but it only has poke attacks, which is obviously a bit limited against groups, and really vulnerable to parrying in PVP. I'm tempted to use a longsword as my secondary weapon and keep people off-guard, but it seems a bit dull. Anyone got ideas for something interesting? Want to try a Faith build, but magic lacks the oomph and crunch of melee fighting.

I live in constant fear over dying in a videogame and do anything to avoid it. The thought of seeing "You Died" on my screen is enough to send me into a panicked fit.

Tracula posted:I thought the scythe was kinda from her? I believe the description states that it's a memory of Gwyndolin's or something along those lines, not that it's directly hers. the miracle is literally called Lifehunt Scythe, which is the exact name of the weapon crafted from Priscilla's soul in DS1. I think this connection was meant to be quite unambiguous: as Aldrich digested Gwyndolin, he saw a vision from the Dark Sun's mind of Priscilla hiding in the painting, and went to go eat her too (or possibly got his lacky Sulyvahn to fetch her, since by that point Aldrich might not have been able to reach her in his slimy state. Additionally, there is still a very big piece of evidence to support the idea that Aldrich ate Nito, since Aldrich's boss theme sounds like an amalgamation of Gwyndolin's and Nito's themes. Structurally, Aldrich is part Gwyndolin and part "bony soup" which could be a Nito connection as well. I have no idea what to make of Yorshka other than that From needed a Covenant master for the Blades of the Darkmoon, which imo is a redundant covenant since we already have the blue sentinels. kalel fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 1, 2016 |

Speaking of lore, is there... anything, anything to explain Andre's continued presence? I cannot find a single bit of information on the guy in the game except for his hammer which pretty much just says the same thing it said in DS1.

Is there some secret technique to pulling off the jump for the firekeeper set? I feel like if I can do poo poo like the grand lance jump in DS2 I should be able to pull this off, but the platform is coated in graphite powder or something...

I find it really funny that you and others get upset by this. You invaded someone's world. Do you expect them to not do everything they can to kill you or be a giant pain in the rear end?

Should I be upset at their behavior? Debatable. But I'm sure as hell gonna call them the spineless coward they are.

Man, you can almost see how frustrated invaders get when I smack them around with the whip. 80 damage a hit, but they just keep walking into it. EDIT: Irina's whole gimmick is being a failed Fire Keeper. If you teach her enough miracles, she finally gets the gumption to succeed. It's an actual success story!

I think the "Aldrich also ate X" theories are pretty dumb because you could say it about almost anything. It's pretty clearly stated who he ate from the descriptions (also, he's called "God-eater" in Japanese so using "Devourer of Gods" as proof that he ate multiple Gods is dumb), and if he ate someone as important as Nito there would be something to back it up. As for Priscilla, there's several pieces of flavor text surrounding her and the Painted World and none speak of her being eaten. It's all stuff about wretched beings and heretical storytellers telling each other about this supposed safe haven for forlorn souls. CJacobs posted:I guess I should not be surprised that Dark Souls fans are so incredibly desperate for everything in their video game to be dark and grim that they refuse to take something at face value when there's no evidence saying not to do so This, too. Nerds in general are the worst at this (see: "Pokémon is set in a post-war setting", "The main character was dead the entire time", "There are monsters in this fantasy world because it's actually a post-apocalyptic setting and those are all MUTANTS" etc.) Your Computer fucked around with this message at 22:59 on May 1, 2016 |
