Friendo and I are on Nameless King. I know, optional. But we wanna kill the man. Seems very much a "git gud til you make it" sort of fight. I'm a squishy pyromancer with a Moonlight Greatword though. Any hot tips? Particularly about avoiding that lightning strike. Nailing the dodge on that is tough to learn when it one-shots you. :( And that's with resistances. I guess I just need to pump more vigor?

You mean the one when he's on the dragon? Just double roll when his hand is at the peak. If you're talking about when he's Jason Voorhees walking, just stay the gently caress away from him and lob lava. He telegraphs the hell out of the toss, so yeah, just double roll backward and you should be well out of the range of the strike and the splash.

If you use a password, can you summon a friend across high SL/weapon upgrade ranges using a red sign just like you can with a white sign?

Yes, even if the boss is dead. White sign the boss must be alive. I scammed Shackles yesterday getting summoned by a friend SL69 while I was 120 and he'd just jump off the side before I even got to him to farm the damned things.

Remember to turn it off later, otherwise you'll feel real dumb when you can't find summon signs for other things you want to do.

What's your vigor at? A minimum of 26-27 is a good benchmark for endgame.

I did employ the art of the backroll for Jason Voorhees mode as the earlier poster mentioned and it yielded better results.

I died right before finishing him. :argh: But I almost had him. Progress is progress! :getin:

People think the grub is one of the three archdeacons, Klimt, because it's said he attended to Rosaria herself.

Perhaps Klimt is her first born and took Rosarrias tongue with him as revenge for being reborn a pathetic man grub.

You kill the swordmaster next to firelink by shooting 300 arrows/firebombs in his face or w/e. Go to Vordt and summon swordguy. Have him murder the knights with you and go to dancer.
Have the dancer smash him to bits and immediately exit game to menu. Load game, summon Sword who now has a tiny hitbox and go back to dancer.

Climb into Lothric Castle and run in to get another 10k souls from the corpse behind the knight.


Rip if they fix this bug today

Alternatively, just stand at the border of last pillar near the chasm and hold your shield up. Most of the time he will hit two or three times, push you to your death, keep comboing and fall along. :shepface:

Then his items will be standing at the spot where he is before dying.

why
lautrec cosplay is quite good for PVP. i made a refined +9 shotel, and just use the parry dagger/2 hand the shotel, as there is no point using double shotels really. the moveset takes a lil while to get used to, as there is no kick(backflip instead), but i've warmed up to it. the running 1h r1 is really good, the running 2h r1 is very fast, and the regular 2h r1 spam is deceptively fast.

So i've done everything in the cathedral except take on the deacons, Patches is at Firelink (he does not have Seigward's armor in his inventory), and Seigward is nowhere to be found (i.e., he's not in the well). Patches never showed up at the Cathedral, but did lock me in the tower at Firelink. What's wrong?

If you get Rosaria's bonfire before meeting Patches in the Cathedral, he won't show up there. It shouldn't change anything long-term, since he still shows up in Firelink and you should be able to buy the Catarina armor there. But it sounds like you're missing a trigger for Siegward to be in the well, which I would figure is just having met him in the Settlement and killed the demon with him, but I'm not 100% sure.

The important one is the one on the opposite end from Rosarias Chamber, the one that leads back outdoors to the graveyard. Opening that one before getting to Rosarias side is also what triggers Patches appearance in the Cathedral.

e: This isn't relevant though since Patches would have the Armor if you were missing that door. The quest broke before you made it to the Cathedral.

This is correct. He didn't appear for me until I opened the doors in the Cathedral. I can't remember which one it was specifically, but I believe it was the door that appears in the Graveyard approach.

I'm playing on PC, can't I just do this one time with one character, make a backup of the save and then replace one of my own saves every time I want to restart with the Dancer dead? Or could you get banned or something?

FROM has claimed that you will not get punished for save backups.

Then again, they also claimed that you wouldn't get punished if a cheater did something to you. Then they wound up having to do an unban wave that also unbanned cheaters.

In other words... do you trust From Software's cheat detection to not make false positives?

There is also a "request unban" form, but I would think the same caveat applies since they've threatened heavier punishment if they think "nah you totally cheated".

Some pretty good changes, nerf to fist weapon parries, some sorceries and most offensive miracles cast faster, estoc R1 speed nerf, and fist / claw weapons AR buffed (they're still incredibly slow with no reach though).

quote:

mods will sticky this. I'll compile tested and confirmed changes here, if you have a change that's not documented on the official patch notes please put sopme evidence on your post, I'll test it myself if you can't confirm.

Misc changes:

You can change your covenant as a host even if you're invaded
You can no longer show your naked butt with the squat + Jailer's robe combo.
You can hold 600 of each ammo type in storage (arrows, bolts, greatarrows).
Frame data changes:

Offensive miracles are faster in general. WoG is unchanged.
Soul Greatsword, Dark Edge, Dark Serpent all got significant cast speed buffs.
Chaos Bed Vestiges and Boulder Heave are much faster. Same might be possible for more pyromancies.
Fist and claw weapons parry attempts have more recovery time.
Thrusting swords have been slowed down.
Gotthard's rolling L1 has a lot more recovery time.
Straightsword class rolling R1 has more recovery time.
For some reason the greatlance is slower in general. Chaos blade now has 160 counter.
Offhanding a weapon undoes the frame data changes, video proof.
Here's an useful video with a lot of comparisons of cast speed of various spells (click here).

Balnace:

Warmth works now.
Lifehunt scythe damage increased.
People report sorceries are more damaging across the board, spells are faster as well, can't confirm this myself.
Farron Hail has a lot more spread now, same is being reported for Bursting Fireball.
When you have half the FP needed for a Weapon Art, said WA will come out at full effectiveness.
Fist weapons in general have been buffed.
Issues that have been introduced:

Ultrawide display support has been reported as broken.
Some threads in the sub report bad performance on PS4 and PC, I need more data to confirm this.
FROM forgot to adjust frame data when your weapon is on the offhand.
Two handed weapons do not display AR properly. AR shown only shows either the 2H bonus or the 1.5 STR scaling multiplier, not sure which. Proof.

Wait, how's that work? Is there some bugged connection between the counter stat and Dark-infused scaling?

Edit: Oh, it's an in-joke based on DS2's Chaos Blade receiving buffs/getting overlooked for nerfs.

Augh, exact same speed/range on the claws? No amount of AR boost will help them if you can never land a hit.

Does the "recovery time adjustment" to the fist parry mean you're vulnerable for longer if you whiff a parry? Were there any changes to the timing or the frames of the parry itself?
