Desperate Character posted:the only downside is the weapons which scale with int are terrible and the only ones that scale with faith are spears which are poo poo. I ended up pretty much just carrying around a sword with me for when something was so easy to kill I could just slip in and murder them with it rather than wasting a few of my precious, precious FP (like those little hat wearing ambush assholes in the Grand Archives). Great Chaos Orb was essentially my weapon of choice for most of the second half of the game, alternating with stuff like Dark Orb for bosses that were fire resistant or Chaos Bed Vestiges when I wanted to just destroy something fast.

Gologle posted:Yeah. Hehe, weird poo poo indeed. I'm fairly certain he was raised with the intention that he would link the fire when it started to fade again, but when it became clear that time had come, he pretty much just locked himself up in the castle with his brother and said,"Nah Imma just sit here and wait for everything to die." CharlestonJew posted:He did link the fire but his brother did most of the burning in his stead, which is why he's not completely bumfuck crazy while Lorian is a crawling screaming mess Isn't Lorian's condition a result of his armor? Something about it slowly degrading his body (and he willingly letting it do so, perhaps in sympathy for/to feel closer to his brother)?

All right I think I'm done, I got the last two ending achievements and now I've basically done everything in the game short of New Game+ for ONE single gesture, and the PVP stuff to get the final miracle, ring, sorcery and pyromancy etc. I figure I'll just leave my save where it is until the DLC comes out since I really like the last character I put together, I'm not going to grind out PVP for those last items which means I'll always be frustratingly one spell/item short of those final achievements - I really should have checked up on that before starting a completionist run 50 hours earlier. Having seen all three (achievement based) endings now, I think my favorite is having the Firekeeper put out the flame herself. There was something oddly hopeful and even peaceful about that ending, in contrast to the other two where I felt like I was (standard ending) just restarting the whole hosed up cycle all over again or (Yuria & Yoel ending) wresting control of the flame for myself to rule over a world of hollows as their dark overlord. The final line you hear on the black screen was I thought a really nice way to end things, again it read to me as rather sweet and hopeful. Edit: Maybe now I should actually play Scholar of the First Sin....

Man, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin hasn't aged well graphically, I'm kinda surprised since I remember it being quite pretty. I gotta agree with whoever it was who said earlier in the thread they'd love to see DSII in the DSIII engine.

On my Scholar of the First Sin run I joined the Bellringers Covenant and went to walk the two floors from the guy who lets you in to the boss fight and got invaded (or called into a world) half a dozen times in 10 minutes  Which further reminded me another reason I don't enjoy PVP, my God the lag  In the end my only victory was against a guy where I just start flailing about my sword every time I saw him vaguely move, even if he was half a floor away from me, because most of the time he was actually standing next to me about to swing his own sword and I just happened to get in first.

Funny thing is going back to DS2 and every single chest I approach I'm positive will be a mimic.... and I haven't encountered one yet. It may be hyperbole, but I'm fairly certain there were more mimic than non-mimic chests in DS3.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Archdragon Peak looks pretty neat, but god drat is it a slog to play through. That last section with a ton of serpent dudes charging you was aggravating to solo, it wasn't till my second playthrough I found out you can summon Hawkwood for that section and the two of you will clear it out together. Even better, afterwards he demonstrates exactly where to perform the Path of the Dragon gesture. It made me getting the message from him left with Andre make a lot more sense too - the two of you have fought side by side at Archdragon Peak and now he knows you're on the same path and he thinks there can only be one, and he's cool with getting beaten by you because it'll mean you're more "true" a dragon than he is. argondamn posted:I like Hawkwood cause his story is that he was a scrub until you came along, then he ditched the shield and got gud and learned some dragon poo poo. Yeah, next to Siegward I think that Hawkwood is my favorite NPC storyline.

MarshyMcFly posted:Can anyone explain to me what happened here? I think the Nameless King was just really slacking off that day. If wonder if your Chaos Bed Vestiges technically hit him at the same time as his sword got you, and so the damage didn't hit you but the animation still played as if the hit had scored?

When I played through it, I definitely got the sense that it was from a reality where the fire was left to die out, but that Ludleth essentially willed himself into our reality or even outright created it so he could try and set things right (though it's become clearer that the right thing to do was to actually let the fire go out). Pure speculation on my behalf though.

Trick Question posted:I seem to have missed whatever characters teach pyromancy and sorcery somehow, though. You can pick up a pyromancy trainer in Undead Settlement, go across the bridge beside the big fire gathering and up around to where those undead are throwing firebombs at you, up on their level is a guy in a cage. For sorcery, go to that swamp area along the Road of Sacrifice (I think... it's the bit just before Crystal Sage anyway) and explore around in the crumbling buildings and you'll find a sorcery trainer. Edit: Actually I think the latter might disappear if you haven't spoken to them before a certain point in the game. If that's the case, there is another sorcery trainer on the bottom level of the Irithyll Dungeon, but you'll need to get the key to their cell from the Profaned Capital. I think they train pyromancy too. Section Z posted:Oh, I have a stance art weapon. So that variety are basically freebies. In that case, all I can say is to remember that in Dark Souls, hubris always ends up being the ultimate foe! v  v

Trick Question posted:I found that other character, but they were only willing to take a couple books. With regards to that character, if you push them they WILL take the books. The standard pyromancer will refuse to take them at all, the standard miracle seller will take them but make a comment about how they're frightened of them - if you then buy any of the miracles from those books from them, it kicks off a part of their storyline where they begin to slowly corrupt, and their initial defender will come and take them away. Track them down and you'll have to fight him, and the NPC is already doomed to die because of their corruption. The NPC from the dungeon won't like the books, but they WILL take them if pushed and there will be no negative consequences to it (that I'm aware of).

turtlecrunch posted:http://steamcommunity.com/stats/374320/achievements/ I can understand the covenant related stuff since it requires pvp and not everybody wants to do that, and that in turn means that stuff like sorcery/pyromancy achievements aren't going to get done either since there are spells locked away as covenant rewards. But the Master of Infusion one being so low really surprises me, since it's so straightforward to get by the end of the game.

SynthOrange posted:So my second run through after completing the game is as a pyro. Some fights were ridiculously hard but I completely clowned the Abyss Watchers with fire orbs on my first try. That fight was one of the hardest for my melee build Yeah I did my second run as a pyro and after the initial hurdle of getting over not playing melee-focused, the game felt a lot easier (familiarity probably helped) - Nameless King is a lot easier with a ranged class than a guy who has to get up in his face to hit him.

I remember Fume Knight in the DS2 DLC being similarly challenging/difficult without feeling frustrating.

I think I just finished up the DLC, I didn't know about Champion's Gravetender so I went back to him after Friede, I don't think there is anything left to do in the Painted World after that? Really dug Friede, afterwards I spoke to the little girl at the top of the Cathedral and I'm guessing that's the set-up for the next DLC? Unless there was some last thing I was meant to do to finish things up with them? From what was said, I assumed this is leading somewhere but the DLC seemed to be pretty solidly over at that point.
