Mr Dog posted:indeed, but there's also a shortcut that's actually useful now (as opposed to being an alternative and frankly more annoying path) Definitely, but those snipers and viking swarms man. Oye. Also the Pursuer makes me sad after going through the Bastile. I used to think you were scary, dude.

Memnaelar posted:What'd they change? I just started my replay and got through it but didn't notice any big differences aside from Gavlan moving and the new friendly summon. It was the snipers and how the vikings can group up a bit more easily now. Maybe I went there a little earlier than I should have, but I melted under their attacks and couldn't find a decent place to fight that didn't see me getting peppered with arrows.

Guillermus posted:Varangian sword Varangian buddies.  I think I'm going to just power stance two of these things and keep a couple of broadswords as back-up weapons. I have a bastard sword to use on bosses and slower enemies, but the attack speed of the Varangians more than makes up for the decrease in damage. Just need to keep a decent amount of repair powder handy...

Resins are a straight damage buff, right, and aren't temporarily Infusing a weapon?

So I've ignited three of the primal bonfires. When is Aldia supposed to start appearing? I brace myself every single time but it's not happened yet. Feel like I'm owed a jump scare already.

How effective would the Chaos Rapier be as a for a 30/30 Hexer? I'm not relying on magic too much, mostly using it for the variety and utility of spells, so still getting my hands dirty. I like the CR's moveset (still has a parry even when I'm carrying someone in the left hand) but I'm concerned that infusing it as Dark will neuter its damage input given the inherent fire type. Shall I just cheese through to an Ice Rapier and infuse that? A big part of my combat style is taking advantage of counter damage so I don't want to switch to a different weapon if I can help it.

FROM's always been weird about NPC enemies. In Bloodborne they've just been given maxed out stats, infinite stamina, infinite ammo and left at that.

Southern Heel posted:So here's a lore question, re: Licia It's implied that she stole from, and murdered members of, a Church in her search for phat loots. She invades other Majula residents in hopes of taking their souls and is similarly bilking you for her services by claiming they're divinely given - note how it's complete bullshit that the device she operates runs on miracles, as it works just fine without her interference. She's a scam artist and murderer.

So apparently I had SOTFS on PS4 without realizing. Is the community still strong enough for some solid co-op play? SOTFS is almost completely fresh so this is going to be kind of novel. Plus I get to hear the satisfying kerplunk of trophies again.

Several enemies are practically immune to lightning damage in Sunken, fire in Iron, etc. Always have a back-up, "plain" weapon or you are in for a rough time.

Wow, rapier and puzzle sword together are a lot of fun. I'm all but certain the sword was used as a prototype for Bloodborne's threaded cane.

So on a dex build I got Alonne's Sword and I feel...overwhelmed. The extra range doesn't seem to be that valuable given how slowly it strikes, and while the seppuku animation is fantastic - especially for depriving people of a kill  - its attached buff doesn't feel like it lasts long enough to be worth that risk.Blacksteel Katana seems to do the same damage, same poise but also hits quicker and doesn't drain stamina as quickly. Feel like I'm missing something.

PS4 seems really quiet, FWIW. Got invaded and summoned a total of five times in 150 levels.

NGDBSS posted:It's meant to be used less as a sword and more as a polearm, given that it's technically a nagamaki. So while the range is useful, the real benefit comes in exploiting the sweeping strikes or the sweet spot. (I'm not certain where the sweet spot is, but I know that it exists.) Still, it's an oddball weapon. Makes sense. Can't really find a fit for, so put the thing in storage. A shame as the Allonne fight is amazing.

I had the misfortune of going against the Watchers, Shandra and then Aldria in quick succession.  Anyway, a little late but I beat the Burnt Ivory King and man I loved that entire sequence. The transition as you drop down with all four knights alongside you was absolutely amazing, and completely unlike anything else in the franchise. Then I went and watched Happy Souls again, because that cracks me up like an idiot each time.

Amppelix posted:I usually go in somewhere around the time of shrine of amana / undead crypt. Yeah, if you can handle those areas you should be ready to start poking into the DLC. From a thematic point I like to start them when I get the Ashen Heart and have spoken with Vendrick.

Sunken > Iron > Burnt, although they're reasonably even outside of the optional side areas.

I think the Burnt Ivory King's final boss fight should be left for last at least. It feels like a much more impressive capstone given the set piece involved.

Nope! Soul Memory goes up when you earn souls, not when you spend them. It's very silly. I can see what they were trying to do, but it really hampered co-op in a way that shouldn't have existed.

IIRC there did use to be said cliff in the skybox, but it was a big performance drain and got nixed.
