Just opt in to the Steam beta client and you get to use their automatic controller identification system and should be able to use the controller without any other software

Press the "Stop" button in DS4windows and then "Start", to make sure that the controller is in exclusivity mode. It should look like this:  If there's red text in the bottom left corner, it won't work with DS2/SOTFS. Also check settings to see if the controller is hidden, as the DS4 should hidden be to work properly. Psychedelicatessen fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jul 1, 2021 |

I've played DS2 plenty with one that way. Like multijoe said though you might need to go into that obnoxious windowed steam client to configure your controller settings.

I've sometimes had to route controllers through Steam for non-Steam games before, since I've also got a PS4 controller and some older games wouldn't even recognize it as a joystick unless I piped it through Steam and had Steam pretend it was a 360 controller. It is unfortunately much more complicated than it should be to just have like, a button that does it.

In the general direction of the endgame. Like I'd say about the time you have the King's Ring is when you can comfortably start thinking about it.

Actually once you know the level, it’s fun to rush Sunken King and do it as early as possible, though I wouldn’t recommend that for the first time through. Flynn’s Ring and puzzling stone sword is vicious against early game enemies.

shulva is a beautiful misery I hoofed it down through the ghost knight area soon as I couldn't find their armor to break and then sprinted across the loving magic t-rex zone and luckily there was a bonfire there. But I have a sickness and I can't move on until I get all the items and that room with the spiked floor is such a bloody pain in the rear end. I wasted so much time slowly clearing everything in there before going down a side passage and pulling 3 at the same time... Is there armor to make all those guys corporeal ?

Qmass posted:shulva is a beautiful misery You have to brave that room with the three in it to find the armor. Pulling them down to the spike area and climbing back up works well if you're not comfortable breaking the armor while they're chasing you. There's a shortcut before that room that makes it easier to clear the casters, too.

Re: Spikes. Look up. There's actually a key item or two around there as well, so it's actually a good thing you had the itch to go back and clear it out.

Looks like the only place to get them otherwise is from the dogs in the Gutter. Doubtful any sort of farming loop there is gonna beat just buying them.

Nah. With that bullshit dexterity requirement you might as well go full quality build with 40 STR /40 DEX. Gives you some options, if you ever tire of the big black surfboard. Everything else goes into stamina and hp stats + some carry capacity. poo poo is heavy.

the req is obviously high but like, fume ugs has S strength scaling and D dex scaling. under any normal circumstances you don't want to take dex any higher than you need to with it and 30 dex is already enough to use a ton of stuff if you really want a big set of options

I probably i am just the guy who wants options and never builds toons for a single weapon. (Outside of low level cosplay/theme builds) With 40/40 i can stuff a lot of other boss weapons with big requirement like the big lance from the first DLC or the Loyce GS on them. Or just every STR/DEX weapon under the sun.

I think I hosed up starting a new DS3 character while wasting time on DLC and delaying finishing DS2. The combat is SO much more my speed in DS3. The iron king DLC really loving pissed me off in the end. Fume was a good fight but nothing in BB, DS3 or sekiro comes close to as anti-player as the corpse runs to sir alonne and blue smelter. its been enjoyable overall but it really seems to me that this game was dated when it came out and I don't have the glasses to forgive it edit: ok nevermind. I just got to burnt ivory king and... lol gently caress this game I managed to get to the boss but with the loving range on that sword plus constantly spewing out guys I dunno how anyone does this edit2: in disgust I went to throne of want and killed the watchers 3rd try and then nashandra and aldia first try after that and now I can go and climb the mountain to the greatness that is ringed city bosses Qmass fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jul 9, 2021 |

I started playing the game a while back for the first time. My DS pedigree is beating DS3 some time ago sans the hidden lightning lord boss. I've been kinda trying to build a cleric type, used the mace for a good while and now looking like a clown (although will probably switch back to Archmage robes at some point). Haven't followed a guide but did read up on some info on what stats do what since I'm not really a skilled theorycrafter. Something like "agility gives you more i-frames" isn't really mentioned anywhere either. Someone linked me this build https://fextralife.com/calculator/dks2builds.html?GmcAsUoU7.B2dHMnHNd.uCU8sCFi.RDYQKSPS.A.A.BKPyFkcS and I've been naturally going towards a similar approach anyway. All the gear is probably later in the game, though, except for Grand lance which I don't seem to have. I have been using a lightning-infused Heide knight sword so far. Currently my options are either Iron keep (which seemed like a tough place) or Shaded ruins which I'm exploring right now. Took a shot at the boss but was annihilated. What I would like to know in a non-spoiler way is: is there something I can do or find in this area to make the manscorpion talk to me?

There is something you can do to make him talk to you, but it isn't in that area and unless you are incredibly dedicated I'd suggest finding the appropriate spoilers

Then like pretty much every boss ever with a giant fuckoff weapon you get right up in his face so his range doesn't matter.

Ivory King was the only boss I ever summoned for and given there's a covenant directly relating to it I think that's the intended method of play, just get the NPC Loyce Knights, summon all the phantoms you can and then go in for a big messy brawl

I'd have swapped the Brums and Loyce DLCs so you get the gimmick brawl fight in the middle and the ultimate DS2 knight boss at the end but they're both cool fights

I had an incident where the basilisks killed an NPC Ornifex Though I killed 'em all, but some came in and boom. From what I gathered, the response was "it happens". So I assume all those weapons I was wanting to get are forever gone now?

TeaJay posted:I had an incident where the basilisks killed an NPC Ornifex Actually DS2 is the one game that has a sorta-remedy to it. A tombstone should eventually spawn where the NPC hangs out. It can take a few in-game hours, but one should show up. Then you can pay some souls to resurrect Ornifex as a ghost and make use of her shop for fire arrows or boss weapons. You'll have to pay the toll every time you want to use her, but really she's not that vital of an NPC, just stock up on boss souls and make some shopping trips there when she has something you want.

You can still resurrect her, but looking at the wikidot wiki, it does look like there's an added issue I didn't see before about Ornifex not offering weaponsmithing services if she's killed in the Shaded Ruins. http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/gravestones
