WalletBeef posted:Just found out yesterday that you can get to Liurnia without having to kill any bosses. With that here's my new quick start guide for meele characters: I use a similar setup to quick-start the game. One difference is going down to Weeping Peninsula early on to pick up the Morning Star, since it's a bleed weapon with easy-to-meet stat requirements you can use to beat the sleeping dragon (this step can be skipped as a Samurai or Bandit since you already start with a bleed weapon). Then, the levels you get from the dragon can be used to meet the requirements of whatever weapon you want to use, and then dump the rest into Vigor (with a few points in Endurance if you need the armor). Although this can be mitigated early on by dipping into the fort next to the dragon for Radagon's Soreseal to boost your physical stats.

FungiCap posted:Love this game. I want to play it again but was wondering if there are any build archtypes (that aren't super gimmicky) I haven't done yet that play significantly different from the ones I've done already which are: STR/INT or pure faith? Or tower shields if you haven't done that. But after a few games if you want a new experience it probably needs to be more of a gimmick than just a different stat distribution.

Use the Lightning Weapon buff on the Caestus or Spiked Caestus. The cast animation looks loving awesome and the damage can be pretty respectable once you get your head around the piddling reach and fucky camera behaviour - it makes for a unique and challenging run that feels hard without quite being outright masochistic. You can swap in other weaponbuffs as needed for different elements, if you're up against something that doesn't give a gently caress about lightning. Consider keeping a ranged ash of war handy so you can scream at things so hard they die or whatever

I think anyone doing this should make sure they grab some golden fowl feet (there are a few easy ones to pick up in Limgrave) before killing the dragon, huge bonus to your runes to start a specific build FungiCap posted:Love this game. I want to play it again but was wondering if there are any build archtypes (that aren't super gimmicky) I haven't done yet that play significantly different from the ones I've done already which are: Do a DEX focused duelist build (straight sword or thrusting sword, parrying with the left). Parry focused builds are different and require a new fun skillset

Revins posted:I've been meaning to try a bow-only run, seems like it could be a lot of fun It's not that fun imo, you have to buy a loooot of arrows because of how many it takes to kill anything big. You really kind of have to do one of the moghwyn rune farms in order to make it work and even then it's still a non-trivial time investment if you're using anything besides the basic rear end arrows.

I've done a bow heavy run, and it's viable as a primary weapon, but not the only weapon. Maybe pair it with another dex weapon that won't outshine it too much. Like a whip or daggers.

Angry Diplomat posted:They're giant hosed up mutant corvids, of course they're vocally skilled enough to mimic the poise break noise and clever enough to lure you out with it This is a fun rationalization, but really there's no such thing as the "poise break noise," at least not in-universe. There's no way every single creature in the world, living or undead, makes the same drumbeat sound when they get knocked off balance. The same way not everyone makes a shink noise when they die. It's just a fun cool thing for fun cool players.

Just been having too much fun in the colloseum! Just reached gold in duels as a mage with the wing of astel. That thing slaps so hard, and its change ups are amazing! I almost always catch dudes off guard with that thing! Also had my faith character’s duels in there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3IMaDcZtyw Hope you enjoy the commentary too!

Goddamn full Inferno Prelate armour with dual thorn whips goes hard. You need an asston of endurance and probably some sort of equipload ring, but you look rad and that's all that matters

If you're on horseback when that final hit lands, you can sprint to the site of grace and rest before the animation finishes. You'll get the runes and the dragon will be back. Bye bye early game struggles

Turtle pope church is one of the best characters in the game and effectively required if you want to be a faith spell based player! It's also in Liurna and very prominently marked on the map.
