Fighting Pontiff without a shield/parries was a lot of fun. I can't help but feel that he's a bit misplaced. It seems like he should be fought after Aldrich and the Dancer instead of before them. Your first time through you don't get a sense of just how big his influence was on Lothric until long after you've killed him. He feels like a more fitting end goal than Twin Princes imo.

He's also really fuckin hard so that would definitely be a pretty good place for him

Pontiff is very cheesable imo. Run away from him to bait his bigass lunge attack, parry it, repeat. He usually repeats whatever attack his JoJo Stand uses so you can react accordingly. All of his poo poo can be parried with practice, use a fast shield.

Is the parry window much smaller in DS3 compared to DS1? I could never pull off parries reliably in DS3, and in DS1 it seems to work if you start your parry as soon as the enemy starts the attack.

It's not so much the parry window but the fact that every game after DS1 added significant startup to the parry animation before the actual parry begins (the window is shorter too especially when not using good parrying tools). In DS1 and DeS it's indeed pretty much instant. Hell, in DeS you can still parry something while being hit by it in some cases. It's extremely forgiving. Try your luck with a dedicated parrying shield in DS3. Amppelix fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jan 20, 2020 |

Wex dust mod and some friends getting into this for a first time got me back into a new run, I don't suppose anyone here has a pile of vertebrae shackles they could drop me?

I beat the pontiff fair and square my first playthrough and then in all subsequent runs I just summoned two phantoms which completely trivialized him, moreso than most difficult bosses.

You can't drop covenant rank items. But the host gets a shackle if they kill a mound maker, so you could have someone password purple sign down and then let you kill them over and over to get them. The Moon Monster posted:I beat the pontiff fair and square my first playthrough and then in all subsequent runs I just summoned two phantoms which completely trivialized him, moreso than most difficult bosses. If you are doing the questlines and use dried finger, you can actually summon all 3 NPCs right outside Pontiff. Even at really low levels this makes it laughably easy.

What the heck Maybe wikis are lying to me then and it is only if the host is invaded that they get it? I guess you could always just do the opposite and have the host let you kill them, so long as they can afford the embers. Or they could just dupe their save and then copy/paste it back afterwards if they can't.

The red sign stone should definitely reward killing the host with a shackle. I’m not sure about the white sign stone, that might only reward you for killing other phantoms.

Also thought Yuria had it for sale but nope, buried in the cathedral. My boy was chugging estus two days ago on iudex when he meant to attack, took maybe twenty attempts and nearly wanted to quit... ..last night we clear deacons, watchers and wolnir in one go each  I think he's hooked

I don’t know why I stopped playing this. I made a new character and have gone past where my last character was. Everything in Irythyll beats my cheeks if I get hit. Using the greataxe with the demon fist in the offhand and the parry windows are interesting. I get ripostes off but still take damage. Just doing it too late I suppose?

Like, why even play the game if you're literally just going to sit back and watch someone else do all the work for you. I see a depressing amount of people who have clearly just refused to engage with the game's systems whatsoever because they can't even fight the basic mobs on their own after their phantoms are killed off. Pro-tip: just stand near a cliff or ladder and watch them invariably fall off cause they're incompetent. I have literally given up, tossed myself off a cliff, and still won because the entire conga-line of phantoms and host lemming-ed after me to their deaths.

Amppelix posted:This sounds uncomfortably elitist. I recently killed some guy's phantom, invading at sl40(so the host would be roughly sl35-50), and got 28,000 souls from him. as an invader you get souls equal to 4% of what it last cost that person to level up. which means that phantom was around sl 278. just flattening every earlygame enemy for this guy, what kinda experience is that?

Nobody that matters is impressed with “challenge” in a souls game. Who cares if someone needs or wants to summon all the phantoms they can? The balance is enemies getting buffed HP. It’s not git gudders invading.

Look Sir Droids posted:Why do you care? b). it's depressing to see players which are either new steamroll the game and not really experience any of it because their overleveled phantoms are doing everything for them, or alternatively players that are clearly not new gank invaders nonstop Look Sir Droids posted:The balance is enemies getting buffed HP. It’s not git gudders invading. also what I was originally talking about wasn't really "summoning", it was about being able to password summon your overleveled friends who're wearing havel's and casting crystal soul spear at the same time while you're level 30 or whatever and have them play the game for you.

Not to mention the person being summoned has their stats scaled down if they're that far out above the level range of the host. They'll still have the option of later-game gear and spells and so on, but any scaling on those will be commensurately tanked. Health in particular takes a very obvious hit from that scale-down.

they have their attack and health scaled down but not that much. people using big boy weapons and spells that are out of the stat range of earlygame stuff still hit way loving harder than what is available to the host, you run into stuff like people with ledo's great hammer that can kill most players from full with an r1-r1 combo

Look Sir Droids posted:The balance is enemies getting buffed HP. It’s not git gudders invading. I don't have a problem with having fun by overcoming overwhelming odds in invasions, but neither should you have a problem with people playing the game however the hell they feel like. No need to post sneerily about the babies playing the game wrong. How do you even know that they aren't, say, playing the game with friends on voice and having a chill time? Surely that's not the experience FROM particularly designed the game around, but it is one they allow to happen, and that's great.

I've recently been feeling a rerun of this game coming along, and wondering if it's possible to start the game with all weapons (or at least, some specific ones)? Is there a mod that does this? Is it even possible without eating a ban?
