Omniblivion posted:Yes, and you can even powerstance two of the same class of weapons and get a new moveset! To powerstance, you have to have 1.5 the STR required for the weapon and you have to hold the (one handed -> two handed switch button). I believe you have to have 1.5x the required STR and DEX both.

Yeah it's a little cheesy but I think with such a massive power imbalance that's something worth taking advantage of. There's a total of three of those cyclops guys in the starting area. Two more near the sex change coffin.

So does the PC version use your Steam display name for invasions/co-op? Being able to change it on a whim to go along with joke/gimmick characters would be great.

My friend is having some issues with multiplayer. He can't put down his soapstone sign at all. He's tried reloading the save, quitting and restarting the game, moving to a different area, and just about anything else you could think of. He said one of his messages got rated while he was trying so he's not offline, and he's been summoned before at the location he's at. He says he has a buff symbol under his hp/stam bars that looks like a soapstone with a red line through it. I've only ever played on consoles and I haven't come across this issue at all. Anyone got any ideas?

It's not even for the Fire/Dark weapons- it's for the spells! Hexes are awesome in both PVE and PVP. I'm personally using Lightning (50 faith), but I don't rely on spells in PVP. That said, I leveled to 250 on PS3 with Hexes and Fire, and I regret moving away from that.

For anyone struggling with the Sentinels like I was, just summon the NPC in a cell near the fog door and bring the Drangleic Shield. You can tank all of their attacks no problem while the NPC shoots spells at it. The NPC will probably die but by then there will likely only be one left, and they're easy on their own. Game owns, it may even be better than the original. Just beat Lost Sinner and am still using the Heide Sword upgraded to +4, should I be looking at something better or is it still sufficient for now? It's serving me well but how long will it realistically be good for?

If you can stay behind him he will just keep trying to butt-slam you which is easy to dodge and gives you plenty of chances to counter attack.

I've modified Dexter's AHK script a bit to go with my 5-button Logitech G400S: #IfWinActive, ahk_class DarkSouls2 ~*LButton:: SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{h} return ~*RButton:: SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{u} return XButton1:: SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{w} SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{h} return XButton2:: SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{w} SetKeyDelay, 0, 30 Send {Blind}{t} return In my keys, h is R1, u is L1, and t is R2. The XButtons will amazingly reliably perform guard break and leap attacks. Middle mouse button is unchanged. Right button will block without mouse input lag and function as a regular right click, left button will light attack and function as a regular left click. If I want to do a R2 attack, I just press T which is right next to my L2 (parry) keybind (R). This also means that spam click attacking will do a series of R1, so you don't accidentally mix your R1 and R2 attacks. I'm liking it so far!

Bear Retrieval Unit posted:Welp, lost 11k souls. Time for a break Try another area, you'll find that 11k souls is laughable later on in the game. As a reference, there is a boss towards the end of the game that you can farm indefinitely for 300-500k souls every 7 minutes.

Just be sure to give them w/e gimmicky name you will be using when you make em (or maybe change it through hacking later on if you have no qualms with that).

A torch will help. 99 life gems will also help since chewing on one of them will counter about 80% of the poison and chewing on the other after the first one runs out will heal you back up. The moths in huntsman copse drop poison moss. Gavlan sells unlimited poison moss if you want to wheel and deal.

That's really all you need to clear the area. Two lifegems per instance of poison and you're set. Also, something very important in this area that is a huge spoiler: be sure to set the windmill on fire- there is a ledge in the building you enter that leads up to a windmill, right after a bon fire. Igniting that will save your balls and will make it so you can actually beat the boss

I don't know, every time I used her she died right around the time the first guy went down, then left me to fight the two others on my own. I didn't manage until I got a good heavy armor/melee guy to tank for me while I used magic.

Just keep upgrading it when you get more titanite or whatever and it should be able to carry you through the game (although better if you are putting points in fth). You may find something else you prefer later on, there are some cool weapons, but there's nothing wrong with it. If you have 0 fth though you'd be better off with like anything else.

So after repeatedly getting raped in the forest of the giants and almost to the point of quitting, I finally figured out what I did wrong. Turns out I absentmindedly joined a covenant that made the game 3 times harder. Oops. Don't touch that Victor or champions covenant unless you want to get hurt.

^^^^^ I did that my first playthrough, oops!Zaphod42 posted:But he was specifically asking for which would benefit him as as swordsman, not which would be better as a wizard From my perspective- unless you're cosplaying a pure swordsman or running some sort of challenge, there is no reason not to pick up at least a few hexes/fire spells. If you're just dabbling in either faith or int, you shouldn't be using any of the weapon buff spells, as you'd get better results from consumables that are available throughout the game.

Lightning Spear made the third one especially trivial. Generally, spells are easymode during the first part of the game. The game forces you to become more balanced (or blow a lot of consumables to keep your casts up) the further on you get. There is one area down the road that will suck balls if you're pure magic/faith.
