GreyjoyBastard posted:There's an incredibly stark difference between Getting It and Not. My first three tries felt impossible and now it's my favored sunbro target. Got it very next attempt, thanks. I didn't even realize there were other bubbles besides the front. Also what's the deal with the mound makers? I found the covenant, and I saw a summon sign with a purple phantom which I figure is them, but what's up? Andrast posted:I found the path through the spear valley to be faster and pretty safe when you know how to do it. The run from the cliff underside bonfire is about 15 seconds with no enemies, if you opened the door. I like that undead settlement encourages you to explore down both paths. Go one way and get shot at, and unlock the boss but also have a long boss run. Go the other way, stop the arrows and get a short boss run.

I beat naked katana man by spamming lucerne's spin-to-smash combo, then backstep attacking when I ran out of FP. I was getting frustrated with the cool dog knight at the end of undead settlement, so I ran past him... to find out there's a bonfire right there! Then I beat him by abusing the fact that he can't go through the door, and got his cool sword. Then I used that sword to go destroy the big fatty patrolling the one place in Lothric's wall, and the crystal dragon at the start. Then I noticed there was a guy sitting on one of the thrones in firelink and gave him a thing, and now I have the Mirrah greatsword to work towards using (I also found the clothes minus the helmet). A Good Day in Dark Souls.

Mound makers is such a cool idea, but everyone just treats it like fight club. Like anyone who actually wants help is just going to summon a white/sun phantom and they have no reason to play along.

After a bunch of attempts at mound making, I finally got a host who needed help getting through the level, AND who had a convenient white phantom for me to gank. My plan was to act all friendly, help them through to a bonfire, kill the phantom, then I guess die if it didn't boot me out? That way I'm helping AND get my reward. Host got blown up. Oh well, now I can trade the thing in for Lucatiel's mask. There was another dude who I helped through most of undead settlement. He got invaded by a mad npc. We killed him but I didn't get a reward. He got to the bonfire, but couldn't light it. Oh well, I'll just attack and- oh I'm dead. Dang it. That's my mound maker story, thanks for reading. Back to sunbroing.

Mr.PayDay posted:A noob question: The Bonfires are the save locations, so when I quit I will always restart from the last Bonfire I activated? May I switch that later and even fast-travel? It autosaves basically constantly- when you quit, you load back in exactly where you were, with the world and your character in the exactly the same state. Once you unlock more bonfires, yes you can fast travel.

Internet Kraken posted:You can sort of mitigate it by equipping a quickstep weapon as it ignores the slow when you use its art, but doing so will drain your mana. I haven't gotten to whatever this part is in DS3, but I want to say that I had a lot of fun running people through the Shrine in DS2 using dual caestus. It was like I was batman.

Hmm. I beat the crystal sage, but I still see summon signs, so there's probably another boss in the area. I guess I'll have to go explore the building... with the crazy jesus monsters... and the 'old friends'... and those two guys with great weapons... Hmmm.

Is there a ninja flip ring? Probably not, but I think it'd make a cool combo with the quickstep axe.

Tollymain posted:how bad is the deprived start? i kind of want to do it first run, but my brother said it's like taking on the asylum demon with the broken sword? I didn't think it was too bad, although of course I haven't done any other starts to compare. The clubs actually pretty solid. Just de-equip the plank shield and two hand and roll. The lothric knights were scary at first, but once I learned to just smash them in the face repeatedly and then roll away they got pretty easy. Or maybe I'm better than I thought?

96 spacejam posted:Where does he go after disappearing in the cage? I can't seem to find him and the Treenuts guy is still up in my game. Different guy. The guy in a cage is a pyromancer trainer (or was it sorcery? I forget). He goes back to firelink. Look around the area between the bonfire and Andre. To get to the mound makers, you need someone carrying a cage.

Stokes posted:I'm currently getting my dick kicked in by some frost beast underneath the Undead Settlement. If I've cleared out everywhere else in the area, is that the only path to go? Or am I missing something? Lure it to the side you start on, then book it to the door. It's not locked. bonfire right on the other side, so if you really want to kill it you have a) much much much much faster/easier attempts b) he won't follow through the door so you can go through to heal

Ok so I found the red invader covenant lady. I've heard that joining this one fucks up another npcs quest- but is that just the 'ask to join option'? Or should I just wait until I finish that npc before talking to her to get the trophy.

Merauder posted:Couple things: 1. It's a setting. I think the default is character name. (also what does the summon sign visibility setting do?) 2. From the crystal mage bonfire, you want to go to the opposite end of the crab lagoon. Like hug the left wall. (or start at the halfway fortress and hug the right wall). I think.

Philosopher King posted:I've never played a dark souls game before but I heard the multiplayer on this game is unlike any other game before it. Can I just go around collecting ears? Multiplayer is this sort of opt-in layer to what's otherwise a single player game. You do a thing which sets you... unhollowed was the old term for it, but now it's called kindled or something? Anyway when you're in that state you can summon helpers, but you're also a target for hostile invasions. Risk-reward. If you want to invade, there's a couple different ways. You can get an item that matches you up with someone to invade (or a version that lets them summon you for honour duels). There's one that will send you to help another player who's been invaded. There's one where you can help them go through a level and get rewards for fighting off invaders, but also you can backstab the host for a reward. There's one or two that are matched to a certain area- anyone in that area is eligible for invasion no matter their state (I think?). But more passively, there's stuff like blood spots (see how another player died), ghosts (a glimpse at another player), and the asynchronous message system (put down a madlib message template, other people will see it or you see theirs).

RatHat posted:Just beat Deacons of the Deep and then met Patches. Is there a way for me to raise the wall he tricks you with? Or is that later? hard to explain. There's a shortcut back to the cleansing bonfire that has the lift up, to where that one archer was way earlier. Walk around the edge of that tower to find a ladder to a higher level. Goodies and enemies there. There's a door that leads to the rafters of the cathedral. More enemies and goodies. Across from the door you came in, there's a ledge you can drop down on, and then from there another short drop to a wood thingy. Levers there. And Patches, I think*. And a bonfire. And a covenant. *I'm pretty sure this is right- P didn't actually show up for me in the Cathedral. Grem posted:Os anyone else having trouble getting two co op allies in certain areas? The Crystal Sage and Abyss Watchers specifically. I think there's a limit of one in certain areas. plape tickler posted:Where is Siegward's armor? I know I've seen it somewhere.

JetsGuy posted:So a friend of mine recommended this game and it looks fun as hell. My only real question that he waffled on is this: No. Or I mean... It's hard, so you're going to beat your head against certain areas/bosses until you succeed. There's some things that drop rarely from enemies, but they're not required or anything, unless you really really like a specific look or want a specific weapon. Most poo poo is just lying somewhere to be found, or bought. Bosses don't have rare drops (also you can't repeat them besides coop in another person's game, but you only get the currency for doing that, not items). If you really want all the achievements/trophies I guess it kind of is, because you'll be doing at least one or two New Game+ cycles and some pvp. But if you just want to get through the game there's no grinding.

While waiting to do coop for Abyss watchers, the little swamp gremlins actually sometimes manage to kill the Dick Wagglers if one of them gets stuck on something and they separate. I've gotten their armour and legs this way.

DrBouvenstein posted:Man, gently caress the Giant ion the Cathedral. Like are you trying to fight him, or just get by? Also are you on the second level, or down by his feet trying to get items? If on upper level- just run. Maybe do a suicide run to grab those items, but otherwise just book it. He's slow. Don't bother fighting the enemies. If trying to get feet items- constantly roll, and kind of roll between his legs. He didn't do many stomp attacks that I saw so it's pretty safe. If you do get knocked down, there's a specific point in the animation where you can hit dodge and roll instead of slowly standing up. I want to say that was added in Bloodbourne, but maybe it's been around longer and I forgot? If trying to fight- ... hahahahahahahahaahahaha.

Ok so spoilers- I'm thinking probably you don't need to spoil most NPC/place/enemy names, unless they actually are spoilers? Like knowing that there's an NPC named Serris isn't a spoiler, if you don't know anything else. But there's another NPC that probably would be. Or Farron Keep isn't a spoilerific place name, but there is at least one place that totally is a spoiler. Yhorne/Abyss watchers/whoever else aren't a spoiler, because they're introduced in the opening cutscene! But there's probably some bosses that their names are spoilers. Certainly some enemies that are good surprises. This would cut down on a bunch of black bar clutter. Use the names and then big box what you actually want to talk about. Use your best judgement? e; hang on. Use your best judgment ?

voltcatfish posted:gently caress I missed the sunbros too? Yeah it's back in undead settlement. past the area with all the zombie dudes and the fat lady and the big bonfire, there's the path that leads through all the buildings? The first big one you go in, with two stories and all the hanging bodies and a locked door on the bottom. On the upper floor is a hole, that leads to the room behind the locked door.

You didn't fully explore it, did you? There's an enemy that drops the red soapstone, and a bonfire, and a covenant! If you hadn't completed the boss, it would have given the quickest and easiest boss run, as well. Not that the Deacons need it, but still.

level design. Relatively out of the way and hard to reach path leading back to where you already were. Didn't seem to be any point to it either, just some more enemies and that lever to get back across.
|
BobTheJanitor posted:Fully explore what? You drop off the rafters onto a little platform, drop from there to a larger platform, kill a bunch of maggot guys that ambush you and pull the lever which takes you back across, that's it. Unless there's some illusory wall hiding something, there's nothing more over there. There's literally, just... a path. An archway door that leads to some stairs, right opposite the lever/big gate.
