ive heard the NPCs are really easy to accidentally kill, or at least the one that levels you up is. is there a system to pay and have a ghost salesman ala ds2 or youre just hosed?

the only vendor is just an object you interact with and if you put the controller down and it accidentally makes you shoot the doll then you can still level up from her lifeless body

please tell me it doesnt do the ds2 thing where enemies despawn after you kill them enough

that was probably the worst change ever

I liked that, but it doesn't do that. Instead when you beat bosses in certain areas, the enemy patterns are slightly different

i felt it was really dumb because
a. limits the amount of stuff you can farm which would be fine if some of that stuff wasnt extremely limited
b. you can just run around everything anyway if youre in a rush so it just makes problem A even stupider

is there dedicated pvp or dueling zones in the game?

nah, there's those couple of parts that have chime maidens in them already, but they didnt really give a poo poo about pvpers in this game

im sure theres an area the community will just kind of agree on. ds1 had the forest and the area before the final boss

Yeah, and it results in cool videos like when Brad Shoemaker tried to play through Demons Souls live and whenever he beat a boss he would be invaded by the same person with a Scraping Spear who would destroy all of his equipment and poison him, repeatedly, over the course of like a 15 hour video series

I pulled out the dark souls instruction booklet for the first time ever and it says some strange stuff. Like:
"VAGRANTS: If you drop a certain item or lose a large amount of humanity, those items and humanity move to another players world and form vagrant enemies."


Is this something that didn't make it in or do I just not know what it meabs

in DS1, if a ton of people die in a certain spot or drop items, it might cause a crab to spawn that will give you humanity when you kill it.

problem is with the way the servers were retardedly split up it's insanely rare.

high level keeper of the old lords can just break out of combos whenever she feels like it with an extremely fast swing and it's infuriating

man she is really loving hard when she can oneshot you and has 50 million hp. im stuck. thats it. i cant proceed in these chalice dungeons anymore

she can be a pain but she can be cheesed pretty easily. If you get one parry off on her, all you need to do is walk up to her as she's getting up, hit hit parry. She will always do an unstaggerable backstep + swing after getting hit twice, which is easily parried. Just repeat this process and you can prevent her from getting a single hit off

actually, i found out about glyph chalice dungeons and now im just doing that lmao. ill come back to that later. i dont deal half the loving damage that dude dealt in the video and its because ive had horrible luck with blood gems, im still walking around with level 3-4 cursed bloodgems

the great iz chalice you get from daughter of cosmos is incredible because it's a ~depth 5~ chalice but it's full of the most basic enemies that give you like 10k souls each and drop high level bloodgems and the minibosses are just brainsuckers. the first boss is another brainsucker and the second boss is celestial emissary. i think the third will be another daughter of cosmos which is also easy as hell

the bloodletting beast couldnt hit me once and neither can big fire dog, the big dudes are all really easy for me but holy poo poo gently caress flamelurker v.2, that abhorrent beast thing, gently caress that. its hitboxes are wonky and it does this bullshit sideswipe when he's supposed to open gently caress. took me like 12 tries

stay close and hit with big hammer. she doesnt do anything and she even gets stunned every few hits and lets you visceral

ebrietas is fine until she does the laser attack and the tackle at the same time and youre completely trapped

now im doing lower loran and darkbeast is pissing me off because your dodge timing gets hosed up by the horrid framerate

im at the great ithyll chalice and i just got past the first floor, so glad to be done with the cursed defiled chalice.

theres a story abhorrent beast? i thought it was just a dungeon monster

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

beggar apparently disappears once you get the blood moon :(

i feel like all the giant bosses (blood letting beast, paarl, etc.) are kind of weak because they have some extremely questionable hitboxes and they pull all sorts of bullshit if you get under them. if you get into a sweetspot with ebrietas where her attacks cant hit you at all she will straight up just leap into the air with no warning and it could deal a minor amount of damage or it could completely loving crush you

apropos to nothing posted:

ok after amelia theres a bunch of optional stuff you can do like cainhurst or the witches or the school of mensis, and you should do all those, but if you wanna progress the story go back to the door that asks you for the password in the chapel area that you could do nothing with before because now you have the password and it will open for you.

i was stuck at this part too. no loving indication youre supposed to head back there. once youre actually at the forest theres no more fuckery like that though

I.N.R.I posted:

i dont think theres anything questionable about their hitboxes. paarl does splash damage and most of them stun you for a second and do a tiny amount of damage if they jump into you. theres also a counter hit mechanic in which u take 1.5x damage if youre attacked while youre in the middle of dodging or attacking yourself

yeah it sucks for the big fights because the rolls dont give you as many i. frames as the sidesteps, and locking onto paarl and such is loving bad. so if you mess up a roll you take a huge chunk of damage

also all of them have all sorts of side swipes that are meant to counter the player going under the boss and lol they hit loving behind them with those sometimes and it's annoying as hell. amygdala is a really good boss fight though, staying in front of it and locking on actually works, it just feels terrible with every other giant dude

rom is a cool boss in the story

fighting it in a cramped room in the chalice dungeon is basically the worst thing in the game though

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

in the very first root chalice i made (sz/alien chalice) i found a lost ludwig's sword in the first bonus room, highest tier eye rune, uncanny sawblade, and a ton of curse babies. that loving ruled

on the downside there were like loving four NPC hunters per floor. one in particular was a nightmare, had an evelyn+threaded cane and would always fire at the right time, if it got me with a visceral it was just an instadeath

if you keep an eye out for the bodies hit the floor attack TOR is real easy. you just hit R1 and if he ever lands a blow on you you just shoot up with blood vials

Okay. My ludwigs is only +5 at the moment so maybe that's why it's not doing so hot on T1R. I'm going to grind blood echoes for a bit here. I think I'm under leveled. This game doesn't have the same enemies stop re spawning thing like dark souls 2 right?
The corpse out of the chest monsters are way way too strong

if you have a heavy weapon like ludwigs or the hammer they should be no problem since you can hitstun them to death. but yeah, by the time you get to t1r you should have your main wep at +7

i just had my first invasion ever in NG+ nightmare frontier. dude found me in a small cave with my back against a wall and he had the high ground, couldve easily murdered me. instead he waved, and jogged out to the bridge. he did a duel bow, and on the very first move i shot him and did a visceral. he didn't heal because he was an honorable bro, and eventually he caught up with me and killed me, then bowed again

that was a neat experience
