does crystal sage have a pattern to where she teleports based on the crystals that form or is it just randomly all over the area? also, holy poo poo form 2 is insane and i can't wait to finally beat that.

the enemies that make a return have improved attack patterns now. Stray Demon has moves that hit you if you're hiding between its legs and the ground pound move feels like it has less of a windup than in ds1 but it's still got enough time to warn you what it's about to do. also there's a smoother transition when you're manually aiming the bow now.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:the swamp kind of sucks but I've lit all the torches so I can get out of it now I haven't played DS2 but this is a chill swamp compared to Blighttown and even Valley of Defilement, even with those rear end in a top hat goat dudes who goomba stomp you and get buffed off your blood. seeing returning enemies is like catching up with old friends in this game.

Pablo Gigante posted:I'm using it too lol. I got up to the Cathedral last night, I feel like a moron but I had to summon somebody for the Crystal Sage fight because I was having a lot of trouble with the clones in the second stage. the area after cathedral is perfect for invading, especially at the midpoint. there's a ton of tough enemies to help you if the host has a group and there's a couple of good ways to troll the host there.

I cooped Abyss Watchers bc when I phantomed for other players I saw two figures fighting in the background during the second form. I guess I confused the fight and thought it'd be like a four kings damage race at the time. second playthrough is probably gonna be a dex build with the twin scimitars. I'm too reliant on my shields when I PVP and I need to switch up my style.

finally hit a brick wall with champion gundyr. i'm good with most of his attacks but that second form speeds him up and i always get him to about a few hits before he owns me. might be the frame rate hitches throwing off my timing.

what does the crow take? everything i've dropped in its nest ain't pump a rum. spent most of grand archives getting harassed by one dude. took forever to get him to fight me straight instead of baiting out other enemies. every time he rushed out of my range and expected me to follow him i just patches squatted until he came back.

I really didn't like king of storms. It's such a large enemy that it fucks with the camera when you're up close, and with only one effective hitbox that's constantly moving it's a pain to try to get hits on it with a straight sword.

Benny D posted:Cool as it would be to assume implications it's far more likely that it just loads the same area to save memory or whatever coders do I thought this as well but the area leading up to it comes right after oceiros's arena, so their locations shouldn't add up. also considering how the finale plays out, there might be three different instances of firelink shrine.

he's a cool reference, but if you're soloing him it's a pain to cycle through your inventory and then figure out what you're supposed to do. deacons was a better implemented gimmick fight.

Your Dead Gay Son posted:Dungeon wardens are probably the scariest mobs in the game. The only ones who hurt you by taking health off the bottom of your bar instead of the top get some distance from them and have your torch out. it speeds up the recovery. I like that the whole area is a latria reference but I'm glad that it's so much smaller than it feels like when you're first going through it.

ng+ with the ultra greatsword is so cathartic. i love swatting dogs and watching them fly off the ground and staggering lothric knights when they were destroying me in the early game. looking forward to the deacons fight with this. i never played DS2. would it be better to go with the base game or softs for the first time?

ng+ giant crabs are tanks. a maxed out ultra great sword can barely chip them. it's funny to use the lie down gesture near a pile of dead bodies and activate a giant tree seed on invaders.
