when people say "level your vigor" they often forget the implied "unless you know what you're doing" and it sounds like simply simon knows what he's doing

Simply Simon posted:1) sorry if you missed what I edited above Ah that makes sense then. Sorry for the derail. Cowcaster posted:when people say "level your vigor" they often forget the implied "unless you know what you're doing" and it sounds like simply simon knows what he's doing Yeah I wasn't trying to say he's dumb or something. Just pointing out his big brass ones for fighting tough bosses with such a small health pool.

It is mandatory for the “me and my buddy are gonna summon each other for everything” type of play through.

Imagine learning to parry and making progress by inches instead of face-tanking everything and doing jumping attacks with powerstanced colossal weapons and the only thing that can kill you is Torrent

hazardousmouse posted:whelp, found the infamous anor londor sniper death trap. time to take a break and afterwards I'll find out if they respawn. I bet they do, seems like the kick in the nuts they'd enjoy. They do. There's a thing about the angle at which those arrows push you when they hit that I can't quite recall. I know that you get pushed relative to the direction you're facing, not where the arrow is going - it's bad video game physics. I can't remember the direction though, but I think you're pushed directly backwards relative to where you're facing so run straight along the ledge and not into the wall and they can't knock you off with an arrow. If you want an easier strategy: The Eagle Shield which you may have picked up in Blighttown has enough guard break or stability, forget what the stat is called, to simply tank arrow hits while walking up to them. Dude on the right will fall off the edge pretty quickly if you get in his face with the shield and block all his hits.

Yeah I found out the knock back physics the hard way. I quickly learned the guy on the left is blocked by a pillar and I could trade shots with the one on the right. Minor strafing to dodge arrows then hit with magic. The annoying part was I found out they do a slight upper body lean back when loosing an arrow which perfectly dodged my magic, it was some matrix poo poo.

Okay, definitely starting to have fun with multiplayer now. Godrick is still a bit of an rear end in a top hat, though. I must have been higher level on my first playthrough because I stomped through him really easily and didn't absorb much of the fight -- here he kills me in two or three hits, and he's got a dickhead combo with a long-range super-delayed fifth hit that's caught me twice now when I thought it was safe to heal. I summoned two people and had a good ol' time fighting my own Godrick, though, got most of the dodges right and hosed him up with laser beams. Is this guide more or less accurate for level and weapon ranges for multiplayer? I think I might push ahead to Raya Lucaria in a little bit here.

Just went through Forbidden Lands + Mountaintop for the first time -- is there any evidence to support the idea that those areas were afflicted with rot at some point? I noticed there were some shared elements between it and Caelid, like the giant mutant monsters and the big skulls.

I noticed there were some shared elements between it and Caelid, like the giant mutant monsters and the big skulls. I mean the goddess of rot is hiding out in the Haligtree, and she presumably shed a load while being dragged back from Radahn. I have no idea what the huge skulls are, they look way bigger than any giant we see.

The trick with the Anor Londo Sniper pricks is to make sure that the arrows both hit you simultaneously, that way their opposing force will cancel each other out and you won't be knocked into the abyss!

Anor Londo archers for sorcerers: If I recall, you can also use hidden body to sneak up the buttress fairly easily. Once you’re actually up next to them, it’s much easier since only one can shoot you at a time and it’s easy to knock them off ledge by blocking their hits. Hidden body is really, really strong in general and should not be overlooked.

What the hell are you guys talking about. You just run up the buttress, RUN! Their shots will all land behind you, just run, and get in the right ones face with a shield until he slips off.

I got tired of it and watched a YouTube video and it turns out you can just run top speed and you're golden, then you hang a right and you have to roll dodge the arrow coming head-on. e: War Wizard posted:What the hell are you guys talking about.

In theory you'll parry that guy but I just get in that little corner and hold up a shield until he bounces off it hard enough to fall. Doesn't work every time, but often enough.

You don't need to parry or block, just run up to him then buzz back off, silver dumbass will fall off every time.

The secret to every SOULS game is that you can just run. If it's not behind a fog door then you literally don't have to do anything about it. By design. There's things that chase you but there's always something like an elevator or something nearby to make your escape. Just run, bro.

Sometimes if I wanted a super-chill experience with those archers I'd just snipe them with some poison arrows, wait, snipe them again, wait, casually stroll up the buttress. It's by no means Skillful or Efficient or Fast. But it is Chill.

I think I had more trouble dealing with the lightning gargoyles right before the archers than I did the archers themselves. I did get lucky since the left one fell off right as I got to the top.

Not much in the way of nerfs or buffs actually. Mostly just bug fixes and letting your ball bearings remain available into NG+. Also undisclosed changes to the Wondrous Physick.

I think with this latest round of bug fixes, cheesing Mohg early is now impossible. Before there was a way you could shoot him through the fog gate IIRC and poison him to death.
