Harrow posted:There are a couple moments of beauty, but much less than in the Dark Souls games for sure. Two I can think of are the garden where you fight the final boss, and the little cutscene at the end of the DLC (which is beautiful in a haunting, tragic way, but still beautiful). I like the calm tranquility of the lake with the moon's reflection. Until you jump into it anyway. And while 'beautiful' not what most people would use to describe it, it has some incredibly powerful moments, before you fight The One Reborn, Ludwig's phase change scene, everything about the final bosses. The general framing and direction is some of the best I've seen in anything, game, movie, anything.

Domattee posted:No hard data but I wanna say it's in the realm of ~15% of level up cost for dead hostile phantoms if you're the host and ~5% of level up cost if you're a phantom/invader. I'm almost positive it's 1% if you're an invader just going from fight fight clubs. That'd be 383 for an 80, 615 for a 100, 921 for a 120. Hackan Slash posted:Is there anything that gets hyperarmor and is buffed by the Leo ring? Maybe some UGS R2's? Bonus points if it's also unparryable. Pickaxe but it's parryable. Great lance I think I read was extremely parryable but never tried it. Does the spiked mace do thrust damage?

Ravenfood posted:I think I'm in love with the Dragonslayer Axe, but I'm also not so great at deciding what to infuse it with. Right now I've got 25/20 str/dex at level 49 and don't really know what to do with it. I intend to go more quality-build in the future, but I've got 15 points in Int for Greater Magic Weapon and other utility-related things. I just don't think I can squeeze 40/40 stats into a level 80 build if I want to keep the utility spells and have 27 Vig and any endurance worth mentioning. Thoughts? Dragonslayer axe is really great for pve and also okay-good for pvp, even if you just have the dex to use it, it gets more damage from refined then heavy. And at your stats refined will definitely beat raw and heavy, and retain the ability to be buffed.

Profaned Greatsword. -- I'm fairly certain the souls you get on PVP kills is a base amount plus a percentage of their held souls. I've gotten like 15k from killing a guy before but I normally get like 1.3k

Cyberventurer posted:Eygon: His body can be found in Irina's old cell once the Dragonslayer Armour is defeated. Irina moved to the tower that the sword master NPC was guarding. She can level you up but has no other function. In my first playthrough, I gave Irina only the "good" tomes and she never moved at any point, even after Eygon's bit was over. Is there something else that has to happen? Oh, and I have never gotten Hawkwood's quest to advance. There were times I could summon him, but whenever I did his AI was turned off and he'd stand still doing nothing.

Kild posted:Profaned Greatsword. Nope, it's based on how much they need to level up, same as always. The %'s are much lower, though. The most you can get is as a host killing an invader, which will net you 15%. As a host killing a summoned red you get 1%, and as an invader killing a host you get ~5%.

Is there something else that has to happen? buy every light miracle from Irina. Hawkwood got one weird trigger. after beating Abys watchers, you have to talk to him one time when he is out kneeling before the grave with the abyss watcher sword else he get stuck in the pre-abyss watcher dialogue . I don't know if you can move far enough ahead to skip this trigger to be fair.

Yeah, I remember talking to him out by the graves, and then he disappeared and could be summoned (though he was broken, as I said). Maybe I just had a buggy run or missed something.

GulagDolls posted:i never talked to hawkwood and he just bounced yeah I guess if you get to a point where you get the dragon stones or something, he will move on. But in my current game, I cleared CotD, Catacombs and Irithyl and he still spouted his dialogue about how you gained admission to the abyss watchers. He moved on as soon as I had talked to him at the grave,

Watching a playthrough. "By popular demand, I have changed my weapon to what everyone has been telling me to use." *pulls out Raw Astora GREATsword +6 instead of an rear end* The Raw AGS just doesn't have the same ring to it.

my new dog posted:my complaint is the world feels disconnected and mashed together at the same time, but i think thats intended actually I think that's partially the point, especially when things like summoning Anor Londo directly on top of Irithyll is a thing. My guess is that it's trying to give of the feel that all the various parallel/multiverses that make up the Souls games are all converging to one point in the space-time continuum.

Remember when fextralife had that parry frame data chart that was taken as gospel even though most of the frame windows were an odd number of frames in 60fps in a game designed to run at 30fps? good poo poo. great reliable source for bamco support.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Archdragon Peak looks pretty neat, but god drat is it a slog to play through. That last section with a ton of serpent dudes charging you was aggravating to solo, it wasn't till my second playthrough I found out you can summon Hawkwood for that section and the two of you will clear it out together. Even better, afterwards he demonstrates exactly where to perform the Path of the Dragon gesture. It made me getting the message from him left with Andre make a lot more sense too - the two of you have fought side by side at Archdragon Peak and now he knows you're on the same path and he thinks there can only be one, and he's cool with getting beaten by you because it'll mean you're more "true" a dragon than he is. argondamn posted:I like Hawkwood cause his story is that he was a scrub until you came along, then he ditched the shield and got gud and learned some dragon poo poo. Yeah, next to Siegward I think that Hawkwood is my favorite NPC storyline.
