I had the fog gate glitch happen to me as a summon at the Deacans of the Deep fight and one of the deacons actually fell over through the fog to our side while the other summon and I spammed the hello carving repeatedly in sync. The whole boss battle took almost five minutes but in the end the host lost to the curse cloud from the second phase  For Irithryll just run past everything in the first section of the level because it is complete bullshit and the zone will be much more tolerable once you get to the second bonfire. With the enemies you just need to roll away while they do their combo and hope you have enough stamina to kill them in one stun-lock flurry

Glenn_Beckett posted:I'm like three or four bosses after that, and I'm still thinking about how rad that fight is. I feel like that's a boss you need to solo. Incidentally, if I hosed up the Yoel thing, should I still bother to kill the assassin in the Yorshka Church bonfire or should I just let Anri get assassinated?

muscles like this? posted:Any tips for Irithyll of the Boreal Valley? The enemies here are really kicking my rear end. The dark-skinned guys are easy, take them out first if they're near the tall pyro dudes. Pyro dudes have 1 annoying melee grab attack so hit them twice and wait to see what they do - dodge if it's that spear grab move, attack otherwise. The Irithyll knight enemies' weapons determine how to fight them, if they have a curved sword evade until they attack 2 or 3 times, if they're sword & shield kick them to guard break and kill them with the followup critical. There's one knight later on with a reaper but he's just like fighting a curved sword guy. Boreal Valley is tough at first, after you make it through the gauntlet past the second bonfire it gets much easier. Then the only problem is getting mobbed by the enemies that turn invisible, you can escape and pick them off piecemeal if they surround you.

I've summoned at least one phantom for nearly every boss I've encountered and I don't give a gently caress. I never liked Souls bosses. Dancing around a wall of meat that can two-shot me while ear-splitting music drones on isn't why I play these games. Bloodborne's an exception, but then Bloodborne's an exception for a lot of things.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Speaking of though, are they much fun to go for? They all seem to take huge amounts of stamina and be slow as heck, are they worth it or should I just fire up my longsword? General rule, if you have the minimum stats to use a weapon, and it is upgraded comparable to other weapons, it is worth using. It's all about working the moveset to your advantage. Example, using attacks with a thrusting animation in hallways, or against NPCs that seem to take less damage to a slash. There are definitely exceptions, and a lot of novelty weapons. Some weapons otherwise have severe downsides, but these are usually things for you to keep in mind and work around, than a particular strike against them. A few rare exceptions are just downright bad unless you have well in excess of the minimum requirements. At the low end of this category are weapons with high scaling attributes (low base damage), and on the high end of that scale might be things like the Morion Blade, which has a really unique property increasing damage when below 20% health.

Most everything there is best handled by charging the gently caress in and R1 spamming to kill things ASAP. To make this easier, try luring it out. eliminating one at a time required ahead.

I'm using an Estoc in the Undead Settlement and I need to figure out how to better punish estus-users. Even if I try to stay close, they can usually get away long enough to get a drink in, and I don't hit hard enough to prevent them from gaining some health. Any tips? Be better at backstabbing? e: ^^^^^ or that

The stanced R2 has a nice range, sometimes it does the trick giving you enough distance to hit while they're chugging. Or you could accept that estus will be drunk in DS3 and instead save your stamina for after they drink&roll.

Pvp in dark souls is meant to be scummy. It's basically the equivalent of fighting someone with swords and throwing sand in their eyes. If you aren't using enemies to your advantage, no-estus item, poison, spells, knowing the area, etc etc as an invader, and instead just going for the loving retarded "honourable 1v1", ur retard

DreamShipWrecked posted:So you pvp pros, what am I supposed go do when the host does nothing but run like a birch around a fire summoning new phantoms whenever the old ones die and chugging estus? Not much, really. It's one of this game's "weaknesses", in so far as someone who doesn't want to die is damned near impossible to kill. It works in the context of chaotic - this work is full of phantoms - online I guess they were going for, but since you don't have that luxury as an invader your only option is to play like a bitch yourself and just try to fall back toward the boss door and way for them to come to you. Otherwise is yakkity sax for however long it takes for the host to finally die from chipping running R1s, or you die when the inevitable summons overwhelm you. Still, you don't have many better options - that I have found - for dealing with a fleeing target. On the plus side, when a phantom does show up, the host will probably lean toward the aggressive, which will leave them vulnerable. On the plus side, the same thing that makes hosts a massive chore to deal with makes you a massive chore to deal with, and most people get tunnel vision and will try to kill you instead of rushing to the boss door; it's like DS1 where as soon as you hit the fog you're invulnerable and you despawn almost immediately. Once people figure this out invading is probably going to be really tedious unless someone more badass and awesome than I am (that's a lot of people) knows of a better way to punish roll spamming.

Why the poo poo are thrown consumables so loving slow?

Dealing with the deeply cowardly requires a change in mindset, and your parameters for victory change. Charging headfirst into a bonfire ganksquad won't get you anywhere unless you've got a very specific weapon setup and a fairly considerable gap in skill. You have to be cagey. Go somewhere you know they'll have to pass by eventually and wait. Use the enemies and the environment to your advantage. Use young branches to disguise yourself, if the area allows for you to reasonably be able to do that. As an invader, your goal is to block the other player from progressing. If your presence inspires so much terror that they refuse to even leave the bonfire with a 3 phantom escort, then you've honestly already won. If you can get them to blow a giant tree seed, all the better. Take out some non-respawning enemies for them if you can, to send a message. Don't engage them on their terms. Undead Hunter Charms are also useful tools for blocking estus recovery, but another viable strategy is simply to win the war of attrition. The host will run out of flasks eventually. Also the soldering iron CLAIMS to block healing but I'm going to be honest if it does it's for a very short period of time and it does garbage damage so whatever.

if the host decides to run away and never stop running there's virtually nothing you can do about it except hope they fall off a cliff, get swiped by an enemy mob, or have a sudden aneurysm

This doesn't work most of the time. 90% of the time, no matter how long you wait, the host and his 2-3 buddies will just stay camped at the bonfire or some other safe spot and will not move. I've literally had to wait 20+ minutes in some instances before I just crystalled out. It's a huge issue.

If you're not serving the One True God Aldrich and PvPing in that area you're doing it wrong. Lothric archers up top, deacons on a high ledge, hidden giant, a basement where you can trap people, its an invaders wet dream. Worst case scenario the host runs back to the start of the zone and has nowhere else to go.

Shindragon posted:You ain't the only. My 2nd run and that dude is my wall for now. Alright, my dude/ette, here's Anal Surgery's Coward Strategy. You need: Poison Mist, a few arrows. Run up, poison mist the Sage, then wail away. Basically, do stage one of the fight normal, making sure you get sage poisoned before the clones. Then, once the clones show up, run up the hill on the right side of the stage and hide in the little nook in the rocks (there was a message there for me). The poison will tick down slowly but nothing can touch you in the nook. Use your arrows to get rid of the blue clones. As long as it's poison damage, the Sage won't teleport. You'll have to apply poison probably 2 more times, but with the clones gone, you can kind of shimmy around the purple poo poo and not worry about blue arrows to the back. It took me about 5-10 minutes, but it was the only way I could finally do it solo. i'm not proud, but I am happy.
