turtlecrunch posted:The bell bongs, you wake up, you decide to kill the world for some reason. You help Anri find Horace by pointing down and going "hey there he is, you can literally see him from right where you're standing you idiot, let's go get him". When you get to Aldrich, Anri and Horace do a special kung fu dance that frees Gwyndolin so you can kill Aldrich. Gwyndolin thanks you and gives you a channeler trident. Satisfied that you have done enough killing, you spend the rest of your days in a comfy cottage with Anri and Horace.

What priority/order do you guys level your stats up in? I know pretty much where I want to end up with my character but I have no idea if I should be maxing things out one at a time or going for some kind of proportional split or what. e: And related question, if I were to stop at 25 or 40 or something for low-level PvP, how would that change things?

JordanKai posted:I'm trying to play the game co-op with a friend who is playing for the first time while I'm using an endgame character. We have passwords set and everything, but she's still only able to see my summon sign sporadically (as in, we've only gotten it to work once). When I tried co-oping with some friends it worked in some areas but not others. I have no idea why this would be the case; specifically, it worked every time in the first Undead Settlement bonfire but not the next bonfire after that.

Groovelord Neato posted:farron keep was a cakewalk compared to similar areas in the other games i have no idea how i'm seeing so many complaints about it. Speaking as someone who started with this game: the way Dark Souls handles status effects is awful and stupid, the way deep water works is awful and stupid, Farron Keep is the first time you encounter both in significant amounts.

It really overstays it's welcome when you're forced to crawl through the entire swamp for items. I feel like DS3 in general will be a lot more fun once I've got a complete playthrough under my belt and I know that I can ignore 95% of the poo poo in the game and just bee-line to upgrade materials and the one or two weapons I want instead of picking up everything because I want to be able to experiment with it all.

I forgot to talk to Sirris right after meeting Anri and Horace. Then I killed the Crystal Sage and continued to Cathedral of the Deep and she's not in the Firelink Shrine. Can I still do her questline? I assume I shouldn't do Abyss Walkers before meeting her since that seems to break everything else, but will she show up after Deacons of the Deep?

HaB posted:I realize that's probably near impossible to balance and is completely a pipe dream, but there it is. Instead we get "spam R1 with a straight sword or a rapier" which will be every invader you see until someone finds a counter, then we'll be on to the next generic build. Every time someone posts "balance is impossible, there's always an optimal build" I wonder what kind of poor, deprived gaming life they've lived. Like, have you never played a good multiplayer game? What happened to you to make you think that "lovely balance" and "total homogeneity" are the only possibilities? It's possible to do better!

Toady posted:Dark Souls lore draws from Shinto mythology. Gwyn is similar to Izanagi, who gave birth to a goddess of sunlight, a god of the moon, and a god of storms who was kicked out of Heaven for his reckless behavior. This mythology is also where cutting off tails to get weapons came from--the god of storms cut the tail off a dragon and got a magic sword from it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_mythology posted:Our age (Nahui-Ollin), the fifth age, or fifth creation, began in the ancient city of Teotihuacan[citation needed]. According to the myth, all the gods had gathered to sacrifice themselves and create a new age. Although the world and the sun had already been created, it would only be through their sacrifice that the sun would be set into motion and time as well as history could begin. The handsomest and strongest of the gods, Tecuciztecatl, was supposed to sacrifice himself but when it came time to self-immolate, he could not jump into the fire. Instead, Nanahuatl the smallest and humblest of the gods, who was also covered in boils, sacrificed himself first and jumped into the flames. Maybe it's just a coincidence but the sense I get is that Dark Souls has some pretty diverse influences. The whole Chosen Undead / Unkindled narrative is strikingly similar to Severian in The Book of the New Sun, too, especially once you get into all the (spoilers for DS3 and BotNS) time travel fuckery.

He didn't have much in the way of special dialogue when I leveled up the fifth time, he was just dead the next time I came back to the Firelink Shrine and Yuria was in his place. It might've even been a boss kill later, I don't remember for sure.

that Yorim or whatever his name is is so happy when you agree to the hollowing stuff that he dies from happiness? Probably the most upbeat NPC death in the series

Tamayachi posted:I don't think it's explicit, you just kind of have to infer it. When you first meet Yoel, he's crying because he wanted to die like the other pilgrims to fulfill his purpose, and then you give him a new purpose by recruiting him. Then after you get your 5 levels from him, his new purpose of creating the Dark Lord from an Unkindled is complete, and thus he dies. That makes sense, I was just kind of imagining him having a little undead heart attack of joy on screen when people described it. Also, I need fashion souls help: are there any shields that go with the Dark Wraith armor? Failing that, is there a spell that mimics that red shielding effect they use to block your attacks?

real nap poo poo posted:Any tips on the abyss watchers? Apologies if this has been covered a lot Every time a third Abyss Watcher spawns, it'll be hostile to the other two. They'll wear themselves down given enough time, or at least the two "fake" ones will be busy fighting each other and you can go after the main one. I've never managed it but supposedly they're backstabbable, unlike many bosses. For the third form, roll towards, not away. The fire trail lasts a while and it has more range than the sword itself so it'll often still hit you even if you roll back.
