I've been soapstoning in the beginning half of the Tower of Fire and I'm having a ball. Even helped a guy to a bonfire I myself missed! Is this how jolly it was always meant to be?

I was of the opinion that the music is kinda lackluster in this game. Not getting up to the original's level. Then I ran into the Skeleton Lords.

Reason posted:So can anyone quickly give a tip on how to use the shield bash? When I hit it it doesn't do anything to monsters, so I tried to time it properly, but I just end up dying. I feel like I'm having a lot of trouble with this, I watched a video and that guy was able to pull it off on every attack to take down monsters. You need to hit the weapon that's just about to strike you in mid-swing. Ram an effigy in your chest or warm up your white soapstone. If you leave your host's world in victory (time runs out/boss dies), your hollowing is undone.

DoctorStrangelove posted:So how do I get to the place with that ring that gives me most of my health back? There's a tunnel entrance next to the cliffside path that leads to the Victor Stone. It leads you to a little sewery bit. When you reach daylight again, your goal is the big cathedral visible to your left. Hit up the bonfire to the right and put on your evasion face. You're going to be running past nearly a dozen of those big corroded hulks.

There was something spitting out a status effect gas so I got out of there. It's next to the third bonfire in the huntsmans copse or w/e. Didn't you see that laughing urn with a face? That's full of occult necrobrew. Smash the loving thing!

Walking on the huge sword was a pretty big surprise for me too, but the next time I plugged the man on the far side and walked in backwards, you can clearly see there's a dude directly above waiting to drop behind you. There's no teleporting. If anything, it'd be sporting to have a little "ha-HA!" when they do jump you from behind, but alas. Dark Souls.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:If I'm only halfway through Forest of the Fallen Giants, about how long will it be before I can get to Harvest Valley to join the Sun covenant, and is there a way to get there early? It would be nice to earn Sunlight Medals while I'm still in the first few areas. It's a ways away, you need to kill the Dragonrider at least. You need the priest lady's help to rotate the weird contraption in the Fire Tower tunnel to open up the way to Huntsman's Copse. Harvest Valley is beyond another boss in there.

Traitor Henk, the wondrous mantank of Lost Bastille. Ironclad armor, elite knight boots, royal swordsman accessories. Two-handed Tower Shield + backup Dagger. Absorb every hammerstrike, deal 200+ damage to a Sentinel per shield whack. I'm also pretty good at holding down the room full of royal flambergers while the host splats the stragglers.

You know the bonfire on top of Sinner's Rise? The one with three crossbow/flamberge royal swordsmen in aggro range? That kinda blows until you take the 20 minutes of drudgery to extinct the pricks.

Cardboard Box posted:the bonfire near Straid is much, much worse I don't think so, actually. If you stand in place after getting up, they don't care about you. This means you can take a shortbow +1 and plug two of them with a wooden arrow each before heading off the last one with a single longsword slash. The rest of the room is trivial.

Internet Kraken posted:This is where the Souls games get confusing for me since its not exactly clear on what it means to be Hollow. There seem to be two states in the curse; undead by retaining your mind, and mindless undead known as hollows. The process of turning into a hollow is called hollowing. Also, when you lose your humanity you are called hollow even though you still have your mind. Plus the games suggests that the process of becoming a mindless hollow is irreversible, but you can reverse being hollow itself. Not the mindless kind of hollow, just the not human kind and also When the darksign goes on you, your life force and humanity slowly start evaporating away with every experienced death until you turn into a gibbering zombie that mindlessly lashes out at others in order to get their souls to ease the pain. There's a spectrum between happy undead and a proper hollow, but the player characters are special. They're always on the very brink of going completely cuckoo, but can anoint themselves with humanity or whatever to restore that surface veneer of sapience and sanity until they get crushed again. It's a gameplay concession, I'm sure. Calling the frumpy version of the PC a "Hollow" is pretty confusing, true, but even the NPCs don't go "ahhh, a zombie!" but more like "jesus, are you alright? you look like you're running on fumes!" Undead NPCs in Dark Souls tend to have one remaining straw left, this one obsession or goal or hope that keeps them from going full jerky. Crestfallen Warrior lost it when the PC undermined his conceited view of the prophecy being a con and hanging out in the Shrine being the best of all possible options. Siegmeyer lost it when the PC proved to him time and time again that he, a veteran knight adventurer, couldn't pull his own weight when things got tough. Laurentius petered out when he wasn't worthy of the Chaos pyromancies the PC had flaunted at him - probably the sole reason he kept going, considering that he ended every conversation with "let me know if you find anything weird, alright?". It could be said that the only thing keeping the PC going is the player - when the character gets deleted in frustration, they've slipped past the boundary.

It's weird and suggests the layout might've been different earlier in development. Or that Pinwheel was out of the house and wizarded the lid shut while he was at Nito's, trying out this week's version of his body splitting ritual.

The Last Giant, Old Dragonslayer and Ruin Sentinel only have a single, build-specific use (superheavy greataxe, Fth-Dex intensive lightning spear, sorcery spell). Pursuer, Flexile Sentry and Dragonrider turn into so many things that it's likely that at least one of the options might be more useful than just a lump sum of souls.

The rule of thumb is that if it doesn't bleed, it dents. He also gains straight damage resistance when he's doing his dramatic huff-puffing and self-impaling routines. Don't waste your magic when that happens, no matter how open he is. There's also one last (non-belfry) bonfire, uh, 6 rooms forward from the Smelter Demon's archery funhouse. scamtank fucked around with this message at 01:36 on May 29, 2014 |

Zero Initiative posted:I'm starting to think I should just not bother defending myself against dark spirits for the time being. My previous invader ended up giving me several million souls and royally loving up my SM on my new character. I've done this, actually. I'm not a cheerful guy and don't trust red invaders to play fair anymore, so when some prick jumps in unsolicited between me and my bloodstain, I just express disappointment. Stand in the open without a shield (probably in my usual prisoner rags too) and just shrug at them when they show up. Then I slowly walk up and turn my back to them. Maybe shrug once more for emphasis. Take your token if you need it so much, small man. The bizarre thing is that it has worked in 3 out of the four most recent invasions. They've just hosed off and jumped into a pit.

Cryohazard posted:What I'm getting at here is don't be a passive aggressive dickweed about PvP, there are plenty of ways to circumvent/cope with it. I'm not being a passive-aggressive dickweed about PvP, I'm being a passive-aggressive dickweed about someone holding my enormous unspent lump of souls hostage before I can even properly stand up after a death. I also didn't bank on people psyching themselves out. When the PvP works, it loving works. The few invasions I had just past the launch were a fantastic bare knuckle affair that got my blood pounding.
