I missed the claymore and like half of the first level. Can you farm the Knights by the boss area for shards?

If I'm doing a strength build should I do normal claymore or refined?

There's a locked door in the sewer with the rats.

EDIT:

Here's a longer set of instructions:
Get the Mortician's Ashes. You can find them on that path that's getting nailed by giant arrows. Give the ashes to the shopkeeper in Firelink Shrine. She'll then be able to sell you the key.

Thanks. If I'm doing strength should I use the heavy infusion? I was thinking about going heavy great club

Anyone else notice the OOB spot in farrons keep where you can cheese the invader?

actionjackson
Jan 12, 2003

Farron's keep is the poison from DeS 5-2 with the more annoying enemies from 5-1.

I did get cursed once but it didn't seem to affect anything - am I missing something? I know there is someone that can remove curse in the area you get to with the sewer key.

fextralife wiki says that it never reaches S and reaches A only with Heavy. So I think it might be good to do that? I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Great+Club

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

It's basically a straight upgrade from the regular machete, which is already a beast. If you can handle the weight, it's a great strength weapon and a lot of fun to use.

Thanks. The three I'm using are that FUGS and a heavy great club. Anything else I should pick up?

actionjackson

Getting a summon for nameless king requires the quick reflexes of a Korean starcraft player. I wouldn't mind that fight solo nearly as much if I didn't have to go through the dragon phase first every time.

Just finished the game. Really enjoyed it though some of the bosses were much too easy. Finished at level 95.

For pyro weapon infusion, any difference between dark and chaos? Just wondering what would be better for someone with high FAITH and INT. I was also thinking that dark axe you get from the first mimic would be a great starting weapon.

edit: deep battle axe, so maybe not as great

Kiln is pretty wild for invasions, at least half the time it's gank squads, and with the dried finger they can have three summons now

Does the dried finger work if you've defeated the boss of an area?

Make sure you only do one hit and then back off, it helps with defense and for stamina management.

It is true that a lot of the best stuff is super late. Titanite chunks and other high level materials, certain infusion material, RTSR, hornet ring, BKH, most of the rings that increase various stats, also you have to go into NG+ and ++ to get the best versions of some rings which is kind of silly.

I'm kind of curious to see where the speedrunning community goes with this one. Since it is pretty linear at first, and any build is going to lack something. And the speedrunning favorite ring, the red tearstone, is tucked away deep within Lothric Castle instead of being two minutes from the start like in DS1. And there's no way to farm souls to skip to the end like in DS2. Pretty much have to kill all the lords. Of course, someone will probably discover a bug that lets you roll through a wall and drop straight into the final boss arena. :v:

Using the assassin (?) class that starts with the estoc, because it comes with the spell that negates fall damage - very useful for skipping over parts of levels.

How do you make the jump to get to the last smouldering lake bonfire? I just can't do it. It's that hallway with the fire slugs

actionjackson
Jan 12, 2003

Einwand posted:

You don't. That hole is too large to jump over and it's meant to make you wonder how to reach it when you see it from the other side. Reaching that bonfire requires you to go through pretty much the whole zone, and it gives you a bonfire that pretty much just exists to be slightly closer to the boss.

I actually did make the jump haha. It was just to get the izalith tome

Well that would have saved me headaches.

For a Pyro build, is chaos infusion better damage wise than flame of carthus ? I'm using a raw longsword
