but don't really want to play through the entire game again. It's really hard to come back to DS3 after Bloodborne.

Cory in the Blouse posted:Nah I meant at low levels. She might take a couple tries but with a +3 large club around SL30 or so it shouldn't be TOO bad. Keep in mind I was suggesting this to someone who said they have already beaten the game. The problem isn't the damage you deal, it's the fact that she has a couple of attacks that just kill you at low HP. Unless you do that all into HP + dark hand strat, but at that point since you're cheesing anyway and the point was to get to DLC as fast as possible, why not just cheat

Downloading someone else's save file to skip almost everything and hop into the endgame is insanity to me. If you don't like the game because it's different from Bloodborne, why would that change when you jump to the most difficult part of the game? Just play through the dang game, you'll get used to the difference coming out of Bloodborne fast enough and if you've played the base game before then it won't even take you that long.

You really need the Lloyds shield ring to not be one-shot at low levels, but that requires getting the ashes that are just past crystal sage. To low level crystal sage you need the throwing knives littered around high wall (for the doubles in phase 2) and the magic resistant bug pellets just before crystal sage boss room.

It's fun to use a chameleon spell/item and see how good of a hiding spot you can get. I did pretty good one time in the little courtyard right after Pontiff. Got like a little statue and parked myself where it looked like another one would go. Usually people take at least two passes before they really start looking closely.

Any invasion that isn't a one on one pitched battle between two players is a good invasion. Did you know you can kite the two sleeping giants after the pontiff boss room back to that first courtyard (where people host fight clubs). In that small area they become better support than an army of summons. Gank city invasions slowed down for me last night so I finished by popping fingers and fighting off invaders through the legs of giants in that courtyard. The giants won't come up the stairs that lead to the tower with the pontiff beasts though.

I got invaded last night by Aldrich faithful then a red phantom. Showed the red to the Aldrich, had them fight, then bowed and knelt for the red to kill me. He stood there staring at me for probably two minutes. I think he expected a trick. Nope, just waiting to die.

My friend and I used to troll people by having him out in the open and I'd be using a chameleon spell. Turns out surprise chaos bed vestige is very effective.

I've been poking at DS3 here and there for a few months. I'm about 5 hours of gametime clocked. It is frustrating at first, (no poo poo right?) This is my first foray into the whole From catalog, and I just started to "get" into the flow of it a couple days ago. I'm only at the High Walls of Lothric, but the variations in how the enemies respond in this short section is still interesting enough even if I keep getting stomped by or before the miniboss up on the other side. I found myself enjoying methodically trying out different combat techniques with Sir Porcival the Fresh Meat against each of the big dudes with an axe and poleaxe, and the fact that there are a lot of different narrow spaces that all cramp my style in different ways make this a good place to try a lot of different stuff and make the gitting gud happen a little bit more each time I die... I may start recording it and start analyzing my tapes...

Started a new game as a pyromancer and figured I'd just rush down to Smouldering Lake and the Demon Ruins. I'm at the Catacombs now but I'm not seeing Anri and Horace. I haven't beat the Crystal Sage or Deacons yet, do I have to do that first ? If I go down to Smouldering Lake without getting Anri and Horace to the Catacombs is their quest just failed? Why are the NPC quests so god drat confusing?

Did you talk to Anri twice in the catacombs? e: also you do have to beat Deacons first. Total list of things required to move Horace to Lake: 1) talk on Road of Sacrifices. 2) kill Deacons. 3) talk at Firelink. 4) talk in Catacombs before the big stairway. 5) talk in Catacombs near the rope bridge. I don’t think you can fail the quest by doing Lake without encountering Horace though. Horace will still go there and go hollow even if the area has been cleared. skasion fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Oct 26, 2018 |

so here's some highlights of my several hours trying to be a SL120 Aldritch from this weekend. The latency and lag issues in this game are so incredibly unintuitive, my brain cannot hold that what you are seeing is actually what was going on 0.5-0.75 seconds ago. Like take a look at the crossbow bolt that kills me in the second clip, you can see the drat thing whizzing by my character on the left, but it kills me anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwtro6eN1bw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poaRPpQeHso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQJo0yZz8R4 I think I'm going to reconfigure to a vitaliity/strength build and just swing an ultragreat sword all day, because trying to do things like "use a straight sword" or "parry" are loving impossible 95% of the time when you are just getting tanked through by Dragonslayer Greataxes or Ultragreat Swords or Paired Ultragreatswords Laminator fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Oct 28, 2018 |

Like, when you first start engaging an opponent you can roll through their attacks and see if you got hit confirms. That way you can get a feel for how far their phantom range is, and know which attacks you will need to roll despite apparent distance. Also you can chuck a throwing knife at them and check the hit to hit confirm delay to find out how bad or good your connection is. neonbregna posted:DS3 is real to me "That particular game mechanic that the developers included and you used is unfair!"

The first one is definitely just a really bad internet connection. Second one seems normal, I mean yeah there's "phantom range" but you just have to be aware that latency is a thing and that spacing isn't gonna be the same as with PvE. Third one is just a roll-catch; you dodged the red's weapon art but the host hit you after your roll ended. rip
