There's cool stuff in DS2. it would be neat if they released a director's cut version that just made all the DLC areas into the game and got rid of the original game.

I started a fresh save last week on SotFS because I never played the DLC but I barely got through forest of fallen giants before getting bored . The area design sucks so bad .... in DS1/Bloodborne it feels like you're running around actual architecture and it feels real but poo poo like Heide's Tower and Iron Keep basically feel like reject Bowser levels from Mario 64

One small question for the knowledgable, and you can answer with spoiler bars if you want: do you need to do any covenant grinding or play to NG+++++ or whatever to get the platinum

It seems like it requires multiple playthroughs but not as many as DS2. new items drop in NG+ but I'm not sure about beyond that

I've seen a new thing where you get a flashy camera angle when you do a backstab I assume it refers to that and maybe some other weapon arts

Someone said enemies drop their whole outfit at once which isn't true at all

normal enemies don't, one-time NPC invaders give you 100% of their drops every time however (unlike DS2 where you'd just have to farm them across playthroughs or use Aesetics or whatever)

it's insanely good so far. vordt was actually really challenging, unlike the first half of bloodborne, or umm... any of DS2. i had to tear myself away from the game because i have work early tomorrow, but i'm really looking forward to spending all of thursday getting lost in this thing.

also undead settlement is an amazing level.

It's got to be the biggest zone in any of the games so far it's crazy and I'm sure I'm still missing out on a ton of poo poo in it

Are there limited enemy respond like in II or did they get rid of that cancer?

& I said it up there but any non respawning enemy apparently drops their entire loot table 100% of the time when you kill them so no more of that DS2 bullshit with NPCs where you might have to wait til NG+ if they don't drop their poo poo the first time

One that is very odd and I could swear was in earlier games is that if you can 2h a weapon but not one hand it, the damage number on the equip screen will always show a useless value. I thought they would show the atk strength when you were 2 handing previously

Press Triangle (or something on PC) to "change page" on the stat screen and look at your actual right hand slot 1 damage or whatever instead of the damage of the weapon, which seems to always assume you'll be one-handing it .

also i'm looking for a slight spoiler: i bought the 20k key from the old hag, but can't figure out where to use it. the one door near firelink isn't locked, it's just one way.

Wrong door theres another exit from firelink way up near the top of the shrine that takes you to the tower

edit: It's hard to spot because (I think to reduce load times?) the firelink exits all load in as fog doors until you stand next to them for a few seconds so you can't really see light shining through it or anything until you do that

the necropolis place with the maggot zombies is so loving awesome. they started coming out of the ground, and i was like "easy enough" so i walked down the line slaying them, and then one hit me from behind, and i rolled and turned to see that they just keep coming, so i'm fighting the new ones behind me, and one of the old ones barfs bleed maggots all over me, so i make a mad dash through the graveyard, and then just barely lose to the twin blade lady up the way. it's the best souls graveyard i've ever seen. probably even the best graveyard in a video game.

Wait is this the area after Farron Keep bossfight or different? Because this sounds nothing like the grave area I found unless I just didn't go deep enough

I made it to the Curse Tree without finding the Mound Makers so I looked it up. Wow thats pretty obscure lol.

I stumbled upon it by accident but its kinda hosed up since its the one exception to the rule in the series where you aren't able to lock on to NPCs that you can interact with. I guess in this case you aren't interacting with the NPC itself so it makes sense but yeah I never would have found it if I wasn't moving in for the backstab and noticed the prompt to hit X. The cutscene for doing so is extremely freaky and everyone should see it though.

If you're mound making don't invade, lay down a summon sign and for some reason people will summon you even though afaik there's no benefit in doing so over summoning a white phantom. I get hits all the time from very trusting hosts and it's great

Suggestion for Mound Maker's Meta

submitted 6 minutes ago by EmrysRuinde

I realize this is a small subset of the community, but how I would love to see Mound Maker's played is like this:

Agreed truce until before the boss fog, bow, duel to the death.

It's a best of all worlds scenario, and

I suggest we call them The Grapists

I tried invasions at the Cathedral earlier but got owned every time and used up all my cracked orbs. Does anyone sell them later so I can get the non-cracked one?

I did get summoned as a blue cop for the first time though and we won :cheerdoge:

You don't need to win an invasion to get the full one you just need the item you get from winning the invasion. There's one in the settlement and some enemies drop them

is it even possible to get more cracked after the first 5?
