What is wrong with the framerate in this game. That patch better polish things up. Getting count-the-frame FPS in the first non-tutorial section in the bit with all the dead knights.

The Herald's spear is just not doing it for me. Any good weapons available at the High Wall? (That said, executioner tip in the round area with all the burning knights: run around him, go right, run up the stairs to where the Ring of Sacrifice jump is, and he'll follow you and fall and you can just plunging attack him. Takes about three plunges.)

Herald's armor sucks, too. :v: I need some drat poise.

Does the blue-caped knight in the area with the Way of Blue Covenant-Giver drop anything special? I just got killed on a lucky shot from his stupid buffed sword.

It seemed difficult to get a reliable backstab on those Knights, so I just kited them to the door of the cathedral and poked them from there.

Hey folks. Where is the Miracles vendor located? Just the general location would be fine.

fake edit: In the world, not at Firelink. Also, the Thralls drop Titanite shards, in case anybody else is as needy for them as I am.

This Estus Ring (post-Tower Key item spoiler) doesn't seem to do much compared to not having it on. I need to find some Sublime Bone Ash or whatever. :v:

e: the Master with the Uchigatana isn't too hard to bait if you use something like the Longsword's charged R2. Also, cause the game doesn't really tell you: this game has Bloodborne style R2 charge attacks. The Longsword's is particularly useful because you can use it to dart into that dude's range and then roll out.

I must reiterate this One Weird Swamp tip: spam the Dagger's Quickstep. You never seem to fully run out on magic to stop doing it, so you can shuffle your way through it. Also, for other idiots: they want three specific fires snuffed, not the small fires dotted all around. Don't try to attack them. Fires hurt.

The Sun Princess Ring's health regen is pretty great, if y'all haven't tried it. Gives you enough passive regen that you can take a weak hit on the chin without worrying about losing an estus.

I beat the game. The latter third of the game was super lame to me, with most of the bosses having a similar gimmick. My ending seemed meaningless. Sure, I snuffed out the fire, but even the Keeper says that it comes back. It always does. So I just perpetuated the cycle anew. That's all I feel like saying right now.

So what do Purging Stones actually do? Are they just a consumable Untrue Dark Ring so I can look like a normal human without eating a ring slot?

e: Okay. Patches and Sieg. I'm pretty sure this will #guaranteed work. DO NOT BUY THE TOWER KEY OR DO THE SKIP TO GET ON TOP OF FIRELINK. Get to the Settlement, meet Sieg, head up the elevator and chat it up with the giant, who will later skewer giant crabs for you. On the way down on the elevator, you'll hear Sieg HMMM. DS1 Return to Asylum Style, you'll want to get off the elevator halfway to reach an area where Sieg's staring at this bigass Taurus lookin' jerk. Help him fight it, exhaust his dialogue once the demon's dead.

Roll on up to the Cathedral of the Deep. Open the doors, meet Patches, get knocked down by Patches, meet Patches again, forgive him. Once you've opened up all of the Cathedral's shortcuts, Sieg should spawn. He won't be there the first time you pass by the well. Reraise the bridges, open Rosaria's door and hit her bonfire. Head back to Patches, maybe hitting the bonfire once or twice. Buy his armor (his shield might count, also pick up a Shotel for turtly bastards), chuck it down there. Sieg's stoked, thanks you dearly. Now you can buy the Key, and head up the Firelink Tower. Do it 100% by the book, head up the elevator and grab the item at the top. Once you head down, the door will be re-locked, and Patches will laugh at you. Exhaust his dialogue there, then die trying to get the firekeeper's set hop down to the bottom of the Tower. Patches should be in the raised area of Firelink nearby the Tree of Giants. Forgive him again, he'll be unlocked as a merchant. Anything after that, v:v:v

if you REALLY want to be safe, you'll head back to the Shrine after each step to force the world to change.

checking to make sure i understand it correctly: offering vertebrae to the altar as a mount maker breaks the lord of hollows questline, but just using the covenant doesn't, right?

You've had some bad info. The only things that really piss off Yuria are killing Anri prematurely, having your Dark Sigils removed, or attacking Yuria. Other than that, you just need to talk to Anri wherever you find them, and deny them knowledge of Horace whenever they ask.

Different knights. Silver Knights have an R2 attack and several others where they charge their weapons with lightning mid-swing.

Hold off a bit, though. Ds1's great, but it also goes on sale fairly regularly. Or maybe a kind goon will throw you a key. I'm pretty sure it's been on Humble Bundle before.

opinion zone: Dark Souls 3 is a game where everything is dying and becoming lost within a cycle. We can tell this by how many callbacks there are to DS1 without any actual twists on it. sieg and patches being, for all intents and purposes, the same guy as they were in 1, and Andre literally being Andre. say what you will about ds2, it explored the idea of cycles and took new tries at themes without actually going out and saying !!!THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO GWYN/ANOR LONDO/OBAMACARE!!!!.

Porcine Shield -- if you're using one of the best weapons in the game, you should have the worst shield in the game to stare at you in deep, silent disappointment.
