Blind Rasputin posted:Ok. I'm totally new to this series and so far having fun but getting frustrated. It takes forever and a hundred deaths to traverse a level. I'm also not understanding the scarcity of bonfires relative to my number of estus flasks. I'm getting better at fighting smart but Jesus poo poo this is hard. I won't do the usual and say get good. Explore more and what not, this game has plentiful shortcuts and while there isn't a bonfire to the boss there is definitely shortcuts that would make your trip less painful. Also there is room to dodge. Roll forward, don't roll backwards. There is no "easy" way to beat enemies. Every enemy has a weakpoint. Gotta memorize how the attack and the strike back. Those knights I just fish for backstabs or break their guard.

Obsurveyor posted:How do you tell what the status symbols below the Stamina bar mean? I couldn't figure out a way to get explanation mode on for the main HUD. Most rings tell you what effect they are doing or if it's a armor piece or something, it does say something like this activates after health etc.

Good thing I was just chilling in the shrine for a bit. And my god, I love this game. The areas are so huge. I"m surprised at some who beat it. What? Do you just run past enemies because some areas are taking me quite a while (I'm not complaining though) to get through. But then again I"m going in a leisurely pace, walking around so I don't get ganked haha. Goddamn some of this areas feel like they are just like 3 or 4 hub worlds of DS2. Jesus. (as in HUGE) Spoiler for the area I was running/walking around. Good god I didn't think that the Catacombs would have another huge area under. I broke the bridge and a message said huh it's a ladder. Lo and Behold, and it's like wait whaaaaaat. And then I fought some fire crabs, fell down a hole and this basically Lost Izalith. All those piles of Demons and whatnot. It's so great. Also got my Black Knight Sword! that was so drat cool. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Apr 14, 2016 |

If it helps you can join that covenant later so you aren't super screwed just.. uh dont' do what I did or you will really screw yourself out. Basically, if you still wanna join it's later down the game. But whatever you do, DO not join the Rosaria's Fingers Conveant otherwise the person you are suppose to go with, leaves because she hates that covenant.

Internet Kraken posted:Why were those guys even there? The knights in the lake made sense because they are black knights and are still trying to fight off the demons but those guys popping up seemed random as hell. Considering where they are located, it makes sense. You do realize Irithyll is part of Anor Londo right? Black Knights are basically Gwyn's soliders, so makes sense they are still around in his hometown. edit: Fog Door at Firelink is basically the game "loading". It stays like that until you get up to it and then it loads up the area. Yeah it's weird.

Tequila Sunrise posted:Decided to buy this. What's the best class for a noob? I was thinking Knight or Warrior. I like melee and having some armor and big weapons. Knight or Warrior are you best choice then. Warrior as a bit more Hp than Knight. Though yeah Knight starts with 13 STR and 12 Dex so you can at least go pick which you wanna focus on or spilt them a bit like I did.

Ok I"m taking a break because goddamn that area was just brutal. Spoilers of course. Manage to find that dragon area and hooooly poo poo jesus is it brutal. Those goddamn snake are a pain in the rear end with the schotel or whatever it's called. I killed the boss (it was more of a puzzle fight but it was fun) and then next area is just some rear end in a top hat who keeps summoning drakeblood knights who hit really drat hard. After all that I find those crystal lizards big bros (not the big titan) who spew out fire. And another goddamn dragon who flies and trys to torch my rear end. I make it all the way through only to find another rear end in a top hat summoner and I lose to a naked guy with a rapier and a crown. Haha.

After beating Vordt, after the cutscene you head all the way to the left with all those piles of dead bodies and then there is gonna be a dude you can talk to and he is basically there to put you on the path for the alternate ending. Of course he might be ad, he's dead in mines because I never used him.

Lot of the armors I got are heavy even with the two rings I equip. I probably need to respec my character. I mean I"m done but there are some fashion souls I would like to do for NG+1. edit: I haven't tried it but considering getting frosbite not only takes your HP (I think? I could be wrong) and you get slow down for quite a bit I think it would probably would be worth the investment for PVP. I could be wrong though. I haven't seen many invaders use that weapon.

Captain Oblivious posted:It's not really the "true ending" so people need to stop worrying so much. It's an ending with debateable merits and consequences just like all the others. I think it's mostly because it feels like a better ending than the others? Like the first ending was like oh yeah, figures this is what obviously would happen. I guess I feel people feel like saying it because "maybe" this is the last game, maybe get an ending that would give sort of a satisfying conclusion to the triology? Well not conclusion but at least like hey this actually feels sorta maybe not really an ending. Better than SOTFS ending at least.

Space Hamlet posted:For my money, if I were to pick an ending to call the "true ending," the "flames fade" ending feels the most conclusive to the trilogy - it's the only one that wasn't already kinda present in the original game, and the only one that seems to suggest an end to the cycle. Definitely agree with that one. Also if I may. I like how if you attack the fire keeper before the screen fades, it's basically a Demon Souls bad ending. Complete with putting your foot on the fire keeper's head. I heard that you cant' level up anymore (until you go to NG plus that is) if you do that though.
