Tallgeese posted:Let me explain more clearly. The Black Knight Ultragreatsword in particular shouldn't be much of a surprise, though. It has fire damage by default, the game encourages you to play to a weapon's strengths. I wouldn't bother infusing a Heide Knight Sword with Magic, for example, that would be a waste.

That's what I mean. I don't see the point of having a set of effectively useless infusions.

Red Mundus posted:uhh, is enemy extinction supposed to be temporary? I extincted all the lions in that one level but after coming back much later they're all back. Scared the hell out of me when I saw them thinking they were gone. I'd like to know how exactly this works if what you say is true. It would make farming twinkling titanite trivial by respawning shrine of amana or aerie without using an ascetic.

Summoning a sunbro for the belfries makes it about 300% funner. Clowned on a pair of powerstancing UGS jerks then took out the NG+ Gargoyles  These guys don't know how to cope with more than 1 target.

This probably wasn't intentional but both the duel spots being next to a bonfire is really convenient. Can wait for a duel while I alt-tab and do other poo poo then just come back to it when it's quiet. Waiting for duels really takes forever with a 5M+ soul memory character.

I extincted the stone horsehead guys trying to get the Llewellyn set, and came back much later to try to do some Mirror Knight invading and they were all back. I'm not sure what caused it, I just chalked it up to a bug.

Mystic Mongol posted:I could choose between losing all my old games and having my account split in half or just not playing that one game any more. Beacuse VAC title were title specific (up until Dark Souls 2, anyway) I didn't see any particular reason to swap. A bit late but you could have your cake and eat it too. Create a new account, use the steam family share to have access to all your games. Play the game without issue. Use vac-banned account to gently caress around to your hearts content. But yeah the people who keep praising DS2's VAC poo poo are kinda screwy. More people are terrified of using their graphics mods than are afraid of being banned for using cheat engine.

The funniest part is that VAC has no ability to detect save or offline editing. In other words, it has no ability to stop SM 0 max-stat griefers. It's worse than useless, it's actually detrimental to the game because it doesn't stop much cheating and dissuades people from using mods out of terror.

I'm sitting on 120k souls, and I just beat the Smelter Demon. The rock lady with a pony tail still isn't selling unlimited Titanite Shards, and I have this fear of leveling up after playing through Dark Souls so many times. Is it okay to throw a whole bunch of souls into leveling in Dark Souls 2, or can I be spending that scrilla more effectively?

Soul Memory is the only thing that matters for matchmaking. Chloanne will sell unlimited shards after you kill the next boss of the Keep.

Apparently if you attack a mimic from behind, it can activate and instantly bite you without an animation and instantly kill you. So that's good to know.

You'd think the herald would have something to say about any of this but she doesn't. quote:??? He doesn't spawn, he's always in the level.

I saw both the second time.

FrancoFish posted:My Great Lightning Spear takes about 6-7 to kill them. I guess 42 Faith may as well be 0 then? I'm not sure if you are a hexer but I ran through dragon shrine with dark orb in two slots for 48 casts and I destroyed everything with a combo of dark sunset +5 and lightning mace +10. I wore hexer + lion mage. The only one's I used the mace on was the fast small guys near the ancient dragon and I back stabbed the caster. When doing Ancient dragon I just ran by everything their very predictable and easy to roll past.

Wait that's it? The throne defenders and Nashandra are chumps. They can't take a hit at all! Or maybe my magic's just that strong. e: Haha, I sat on the throne still a dragon man. Well, time to off Vendrick, maybe a dragon, then to jump into some abysses.

My no deaths, no bonfires run is going surprisingly well so far. I've killed the Lost Sinner, the Old Iron King, and am now taking a detour to The Gutter before I head to spidertown. The Rotten has literally unbelievable tracking so I'm probably gonna lose to him, but it's only a few hours of progress lost either way. "Please send help." - sincerely, chosen undead 2.0

I was doing like 350 damage a hit so IDK what your doin rong. those guys seem to have good lightning resists though.
