I didn't even realise that happened I just saw a hole and ran into it, that being my natural instinct.

Well that would have saved me headaches. For a Pyro build, is chaos infusion better damage wise than flame of carthus ? I'm using a raw longsword

Let say I'm 2hing a weapon in order to meet the strength requirement (x1.5, right?), do I still get the scaling penalty for not meeting the natural requirements? also, BillmasterCozb posted:

Well, I finished game. Final fight was fun if somewhat weird, didn't really feel like a final boss. It's a great game and the best PC port so far but overall I do feel a bit disappointed with DS3. The game feels far too "safe" in almost every aspect from mechanics to locations to the story. I was originally neutral about all the references and returning stuff, but after playing the game I think I would have preferred it if the game did it's own thing and kept the references subtle. While most of the areas themselves are well designed the linearity of the world really hurt the experience for me. The path forward is always clear which makes the game lose some sense of adventure and mystery. I also found myself missing the freedom of choice I had in DS2. As others have pointed out the game also has balance and bug problems but those will hopefully be fixed by From. For me the game's strengths were definitely the bosses and the well designed areas. Right now I'd place it above vanilla DS2 but below the whole SOTFS package, though the DLCs might change that. kikkelivelho fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Apr 24, 2016 |

Einwand posted:You don't. That hole is too large to jump over and it's meant to make you wonder how to reach it when you see it from the other side. Reaching that bonfire requires you to go through pretty much the whole zone, and it gives you a bonfire that pretty much just exists to be slightly closer to the boss. you can make that jump. i just unequiped everything and stuck to the right side.

In the last five minutes I've been parried by a headless, one-armed skeleton, killed by a giant rolling skeletal ball, and then killed by the ball again when I discovered it rolls BACK UP THE loving STAIRS.

Viperix posted:Anyone given Caestus a go, yet? They were great fun in DS2 and ended up being a favorite playthrough. I am! They are not nearly as good, since the weapon art is fuckin' turbo useless since poise is either broken or awful right now. They put out deece damage and unlike DS2, the durability isn't a concern anymore. Here's a hot pro-tip for would-be caestus users: hold it in your offhand and just hold the 2h button to 2h it. If you hold it in your off-hand and you're NOT 2hing it, instead of having a useless L2 weapon art, you get a parry, and no one sees that poo poo coming.

Fallen knight set is the new drangleic armour. Its what I see people wearing the most by far, usually accompanied by the newbie standbys; the katanna or irthyll blade.Viperix posted:Anyone given Caestus a go, yet? They were great fun in DS2 and ended up being a favorite playthrough. They are garbage compared to their DS2 implementation. Not as bad as they were in DS1 but a far cry from being a solid choice.

The biggest problem with caestii is that they have no range and they're surprisingly slow. because pvp is awful right now, you're going to be fighting Dark Swords, Estocs, and Greatswords, and all those have infinite range, are faster than you (you'll trade with greatswords 100% of the time) and they use just a tiny bit more stamina than you so they're still going to slap you 6 times before you can get a punch out.

Just in case you were curious, Demon Fist sucks too for the exact same reasons (slow+no range)!

The caestus is pretty usable as a regular one-handed weapon, but it loses all its charm as a result Also, does the Storm Ruler do anything fun like it did in Demon's Souls?

Agreed, I don't know what the hell the story was meant to be other than "I guess I'll hit X until this person starts repeating themself' but everything is so tight, gameplay wise, in so many different builds - and that first step into NG+ and all you smugly thought you knew about the game is suddenly.. not - that is an all time classic gaming moment.

Is there something additional (other than just killing her as you could anyway) you need to do to get yuria's stuff at the end of the game? I completed the game with her ending and thought it was supposed to be on the ground were she usually is at firelink but she's still standing there.

i don't get the "i wish it did its own thing" complaint. it's the last game and is a sequel it better drat well have references and characters from the previous games. bloodborne's my fave game ever and does its own thing but it isn't literally called "dark souls". when i play a game called "dark souls III" i want dark souls poo poo in it.

It should go without saying I've had the covenant item equipped the whole time and gotten zero summons. I made a new guy and joined blue sentinels right away. About 6 hours of dicking around on sacrifice road and got 2 summons, so it does work for me, but the rate is still painfully low. Also I don't know if it behaved like this in 1 & 2 but the symbol of avarice continues to drain your health while sitting at the bonfire.

Messed up joining mound makers in NG, finally got it sorted in NG+ and am having an absolute blast murdering phantoms and hosts left and right. Homing soul mass and a great heavy soul arrow kills everything with less than 1.5k hp and people seem really bad at dodging the first leaving them open for the latter. Hit detection is loving garbage at times though.
