Why are all the three Sisters of the Sable Church such douches? I mean, we don't know anything about the last sister, but judging from her kin, she's probably also a massive rear end in a top hat.

If it follows the pattern of the children of Manus then the last one's probably surprisingly nice.

The one sister/painter lady early on relates to "black flame" so I assumed she was another Manus baby until I walked five more feet, honestly.

Name any other NPC who will let you kill them without resisting at all. Yuria pretty much lets you kill her after the dark ending.

What does the message at the beginning of the DLC mean? Is it just saying that it's going to be difficult and I should probably beat the game before trying it out, or is there an important item in Lothric Castle somewhere that I'll need at some point?

re: the vikings - they're totally staggerable. I just poke them with the 2H R2 on the fume sword and it knocks them out of their attacks. Then again that's one of, if not the, heaviest weapons in the game so I don't know what else can stagger them. Morne's hammer, probably

The giant wolf boss is so loving unfun to fight with short weapons, it basically never stops moving and every time you're in range to actually hit it it runs away or does its stupid triple dash attack thing that is completely impossible to follow because camera. I must have accidentally pretty much beelined straight towards this thing by mistake because I've only been playing the DLC for about an hour (pretty cautiously, and I've died on this boss a lot) and haven't found any new stuff other than two spells, I want to try the cool new weapons  Also even though the sword + shield guardian guy is extremely easy to beat some of the moves on that weapon feel like complete bullshit. E: Can you use both of the crow weapons at the same time and choose which moveset you're using by 2handing one rather than the other? Because that would be rediculously cool and I am gonna do it even if it's impractical as gently caress. RabidWeasel fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Oct 25, 2016 |

My dude is gone.  I was so sure I still had him someplace but DS doesn't save to the cloud and I can't find the game's original appdata folder, only one freshly created.  I guess. gently caress. Guess I start a new duder? Maybe I'll go make dex one next. Still sort of bummed I can't hop in immediately buuuut I still had to go place my second playthrough anyway.

The Walrus posted:Undead settlement is the best area in any souls game Its real real good but souls games have so many amazing memorable levels, I dunno if I can call it the best. Maybe best for DS3. But then there's Anor Londo part deux, and cathedral of the deep I really liked too. Bloodborne's forbidden forest was amazing, and I really like Nightmare Frontier too. Hell, I even loved Nightmare of Mensis. DS1 has blighttown, anor londo, sen's fortress, DeS has Tower of Latria, Valley of Defilement, DS2 has Shulva, Brume Tower, and Frozen Eleum Lloyce. Just so hard to compare.

Aight, not gonna spoil much with this pic but FROM sure needs to get someone better at scripting or at least trying to hide enemies for ambushes (spoiling just in case): Oh, if any of you have issues staggering the huge skyrim dudes, think about Iron Keep 2.0. Bring a strike weapon and you can stagger them even with a normal mace if you 2-hand it. Did they patch the Executioner's Greatsword? It swings faster, it has a B on STR scaling now and you can buff it. My very first character had it and aside from hitting armored dudes, it was bland and now it destroys everything and staggers all enemies (plus I can use fire/lightning buffs).

You consider yourself a souls fan and you don't like blighttown? ZZZorcerer posted:The vertical part is cool but the whole level is pretty ugly with respawning mosquitoes and no interesting enemies, on a whole I think I like Shulva the best Different strokes for different folks. But there's few areas in souls games that capture the "bark is worse than its bite" as well as blighttown. That area is downright terrifying, and then you beat it and... its not actually all that bad? Really gives you confidence and makes you feel like a badass for your triumph over what seemed insurmountable, which is core to souls.

GS got buffed in general, I think the 1h moveset got sped up more than the 2h, which is pretty cool because it makes GS into a great middle ground weapon; the 1h attacks are faster and sweeping, longer than straight sword attacks, but you don't get any poise while 1handing, and then when you 2hand it you're a lot slower but can poise through attacks. With the new hyper armour changes as well favouring GS a lot I am a little disappointed that there's only one new GS in the DLC and it's for pyromancers, though OTOH that one particular weapon looks extremely cool and I am looking forward to using it.

Really gives you confidence and makes you feel like a badass for your triumph over what seemed insurmountable, which is core to souls. the only thing even a little terrifying about blight town was the loving snipers that dealt toxic damage, and once I realized they didn't respawn, it was just an extra death or two to root them all out and then explore the zone at my leisure. POISON CITY the zone was not that exciting. it was slightly more bearable when they did the same shtick but backwards with harvest vally & earthen peak; at least the poison was just a gas and you didn't have to gently caress around with slow walking thru sludge. actually I think I hate the slow movement part of World 5, Blight Town, Shrine of Amana, and Farron's Swamp more than anything else. poison damage is rarely more than a nuisance, but only DS1 included a way to actually mitigate the slowed movement (with the rusted iron ring).

Most of the weapon guides I'm seeing online seem to be from around the time of launch. Apparently the dark sword got nerfed and is no longer the murder stick it used to be, are the Fume UGS and Yhorm's Machete the go-to strength weapons these days?

Rolling constantly works really well. Also Farron's Swamp has a path you can take to explore pretty much the entire zone without ever having to slow-walk. You only have to slow-walk if you want a few side treasures or if you go through it backwards. But even then, you can roll through it pretty easy. And the swamp part of Blighttown was really, really short as far as getting to Quelaag after the bonfire. The rest is entirely optional, you never ever have to do it. And again, if you really want to do it, rolling is really easy. Rusted iron ring is a cool option but is only available so late in the game there's not much point, just roll right through that swamp. Agree to disagree I guess  The Walrus posted:the quickstep weapon arts make the swap areas a joke in 3 Or yeah, this works even better in 3. Dagger dash through the whole thing.

There's a rafter you can jump onto from the window to the left of the first window you arrive at that lets you land right on top of the item in front of the sleeping assassin, which makes it a bit easier. I've still never killed both those guys though, I've either ran or let them corpse me. Easily the most intimidating enemies in the series thus far. Jesus.

Albeit with some primo loot. Definitely hit up the tower.
