I can't comprehend what he's doing, but I'm pretty sure it's hacking. Some kind of built in hacking.

He's trying to snipe that crystal lizard. The 'built in hacking' is just to unload the textures to see exactly where the firebombs hit as he is essentially going to be throwing them blind once he does real runs. He's got it to be pretty consistent.

I JUST GOT SUMMONED and the motherfucker ran off to black crystal out so I didn't get anything.

Edit: Got my second summon. Turns out you get an ear if you're summoned into a world where the boss battle is already active.

Uhhhh so I haven't played in a while and loaded up a NG+ character right before Decons of Deep.

It seems like all the treasures, a bunch of gates that I opened, etc. have been reset. Hell I found drops outside fire link there again.

Did I miss some weird patch thing or did I just get a weird bug???

Even if you don't use daggers, get yourself one just for quickstepping through Farron Keep's swamp, is just amazing. You don't need FP at all to perform quickstep.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

FP fueled quickstep has a shitload of i frames and is even more spammable than rolling.

I just beat the Dancer last night. That's the fight that I've sort of been dreading this whole game and it took me about 6 tries but I was able to do it WITHOUT a summoned bro! Definitely feel like up to this point that has been the hardest fight.

First souls game and I've really really been enjoying it. I don't remember the last time I was this into a game.

A great ride that requires finesse and effort to get the best out of it.

Yeah I just picked up the Aldrich Faithful covenant and got 4 summons in a row. To be fair this is the first I've tried Faithful or Bluecop'ing but it seems to be working ok atm.

Fwiw, level 60 sitting at the Aldrich bonfire.

Too bad you can't actually attack out of it nearly as quickly as a roll, making it a useless novelty in PvP.

It took hours of editing but I finally finished my Dark Souls 3 montage video!!!! It's filled with all the good stuff....death, rekage, casuls, casuls getting rekt, baller rear end parrys and ripostes, hardcore wizard battles, softcore wizard battles, emotes, oh so many emotes, incredibly satisfying invasions, and long, overstretched duels where both of us estus!

I thought it was clever in the Seiryu fight from like 6:45 to 10:00 when you parried the air 9 times to keep him on his toes.

I was mostly trying to get him to attack me because the only times he would hit me were when I missed the stupid stomp move and he would just dark sword spam me to hell and back. Such an annoying fight that im glad I won lol.

Someone told me to grind out a symbol of avarice I can keep bonfiring and running back to a mimic I left alive and hitting it with a charm (so it snoozes) and it'll drop one eventually. Does it work that way? Won't seem to drop.

Yes it does work. Throw the charm at the mimic and it'll open. Look at its teeth and wait for them to curl back; that's when you can loot it. If you can't loot it, it didn't drop the hat. So punch it and it will go back to sleep and let you use a charm on it again.

The chance of getting the hat is still super low so it can take quite some time.

It works and you don't even have to run to a bonfire inbetween. Just throw a charm, if you didn't get it, wait until it closes up, then throw another.

I think they just did something to the summoning process because I just got my first blue summon in God knows how many hours of gameplay.

I'm 120 right now. If I do the drawing out your power quest line in ng+ is it going to forced me out of 120?

E: is it possible to do it without upping my level?

It's not possible no. If you want a Hollow build the NG cycle where you stop will have to be a Lord of Hollows run.

Not possible. Gaining the dark digils requires that you accept free levels from Yoel.

Drang Hammers seem pretty cool, I'm screwing around in lothric castle and they are solid weapons

Any feeling on how they do in PvP? I know it's not an estoc or a longsword but they at least seem pretty quick

if your worry is out levelling multiplayer don't sweat it too much. I needed to start Lord of Hollows in NG++ for a gesture and was in the same position as you. I took the levels and it made no discernible difference to my experience.

you definitely won't outlevel the 120 crowd by going to 125, that's for sure

Terrible for invasions. They have a good moveset but they are in the hammer category and as such arbitrarily do not get as much phantom range as long swords. You will have a ton of trouble against multiple people because you have to be so close to hit them. The weapon swings in wide arcs but the lack of range means hitting more than one target is really hard.

In 1v1s they do a lot better but you're basically never gonna get those invading.

Man, Onceiros kicks my rear end when I solo him.I get into a good rhythm chippin away at him, but inevitably I get a bad combo of a dash attack and then a tail spin when i'm prone and it's lights out. I'm doing this at level 58 so I'm probably a little low, but man I don't know if it's the camera or his weird patterns or just my own crap-assedness, but he's a real fart.

Well poo poo I thought that was the end boss and I just respeced to a pyro build to start in the NG+. I am thinking this last boss might be a bit much since I have never played a pyromancer up until now, this should be amusing.

Sad to see what happened to Gwyndolin. I always let him live in DS, makes me feel a bit down that his canonical fate is to be eaten alive by some dumb fat cannibal.

RIP moon prince :(
