Pope Guilty posted:Any tips for a Sorcery-user to kill the Death Rite Bird in the Consecrated Snowfield? I've tried different spells and different tactics and the best I've done so far is staying on Torrent, keeping a bit of distance, and putting shard spirals into him as best I can, but the ghostflame is really hard to stay out of and I can either be unable to dodge his big overhand attack with his sword because Torrent can't iframe out of it or I can be on foot and unable to get out of the ghostflame he spreads on the ground. What's a better approach? I just spawned it, ran up on the cliff and reigned fireballs on its head.

bear named tators posted:I’m at level 76 and just beat Morgott and I guess I probably have like 30 levels to go before I can reasonably whip the Fire Giant? Any recommendations on what to hit up in the meantime? I think straight grinding that much will burn me out. I'm a high FTH/STR build still from my first playthrough. When I sort my fully upgraded weapons by attack power it's Black Blade (from Maliketh) > Golden Halberd > Gargoyle's Blackblade > Gargoyle's Black Halberd > Blasphemous Blade > Starscourge Greatsword(s) > Golden Order Greatsword > Nightrider Glaive > bunch of other random stuff.

So I started a new character with the goal of keeping them as low level as possible and just doing co-op PVE. It's hella fun, I've killed Rennala about 30 times and have seen some just super dumb poo poo.

lite_sleepr posted:About what level are you? Right now I'm level 60 and mainly spec'ing DEX/ARC since I've never played that build before. I have a Nightrider Flail +15 which I think is throwing off my summon range a bit so I am looking around for fun spears. I'm really missing the Winged Spear from DS1. Dyz posted:Been doing the same, limgrave/stormveil/weeping at lvl 20-30 is some of the best co op. Just dont touch the statue at the First Steps unless you want to constantly be summoned to it for pvp. Too late  Some dumb poo poo: I get summoned to the Auriza Hero's Grave three times last night, the one with two heavy hitting armored knights as the boss. The fight would start ok and we'd each tank a knight, but the host has ZERO situational awareness and kited his knight right on top of me every time. Fourth time I got summoned I used the severer right in his face and logged out lol. Drain 001 fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 27, 2023 |

Revins posted:People taking a break so they feel fresh going into the dlc maybe? Going into dlc when you're burnt out on the game can hinder your enjoyment of said dlc This is what I did and is why I'm just kicking around on a low stress co-op focused character. Trying to get every summoning pool martyr activated on my way through. About level 70 now.

I go to the Underground Highway to test out weapons and builds on the Omen there. If it does well against them I know it's viable. Plus it's quiet, no screeching Leyndell horns or driving wind and rain.

Try out Mighty Shot, I slept on it until recently and discovered it does serious work on Fire Giant with poison arrows. And it does a ton of poise damage.

I found a new cheese on Placidusax. 1) Post Latenna up about 10yards away from where you zone in. 2) Start the fight but never get close to the dragon. 3) Just shift left to right in a wide arc dodging the lightning AOEs. 4) Latenna will gun him down and he'll never enter phase 2 if you never get close.

Dear Thread, I'd like to start a third character and am looking for suggestions. I've gotten 100% of the achievements and have seen all the important endings.
Planning on keeping this third character around L80 or L100 to also focus on PVE (and maybe PvP) co-op. Looking for a fun play style or gimmick I haven't tried before. TIA

Fister Roboto posted:Question for the thread: on any run, regardless of build, what is the one boss, or boss archetype, that fucks you up the most? Spiritcaller Cave Godskin Duo. I've been summoned to help kill them many times, so I rolled in there all cocky on my second character (DEX/ARC) and they just completely pushed my poo poo in. On my third character (FAI) as well. Also I noticed the people I'd summon to help had no idea what they were doing, half of them would actually fight the ghosts instead of running directly for the snails.

Per the thread's recommendation, I'm playing through with the Envoy's Long Horn right now (write up coming soon). Just stopped in to mention I went by where Shabriri was standing the other day and realized, "Why am I not murdering you? You body snatching fuckwit." So I blasted a couple Bubble Showers down his throat and took all his stuff. Incredibly gratifying.

I've been doing co-op at level 100 for the last few weeks and my God, players have turned into complete pants-on-head idiots. At this level I get summoned mainly for Fire Giant, Godskin Duo, Maliketh and Godfrey. I have another character I do this with at 125 and I don't remember players being this dumb. Things like:
Maybe it's a bunch of new players... I hope it's that actually. On the bright side, PvP invaders at this level seem a bit more squishy and less sweaty. So I've actually had some success roll catching or sniping someone not paying attention.

God drat, you make a L100 guy so that you get summoned to help lower level players, about L80 to L120. And you still get summoned for Maliketh and Radagon all the time AND get chewed out for nOt LeVeLiNg ViGor. Bitch, if you are summoning me for those fights then YOU need to hit da bricks and level up.

Your Uncle Dracula posted:Oh, I always suicide when doing Varrequest. I’m usually using the basic samurai armor and weapon which doesn’t fit my build yet! I can’t be seen like this! I usually try on my three invasions since I suck and it will give them the satisfaction of winning at PvP. However, this last time I spawned in to some catacombs where the host and cooperator were just standing around the site of grace staring at each other. I ran up and blew a bubble shower down both of their throats. They messaged me later that they didn't even see me spawn in. Either lag or they were hella stoned (probably both). The rest of the time I'm a co-op summon and have the blue ring turned on. Did you know that thing can summon you out of Roundtable Hold? I did not.

L100 co-op notes from tonight: * Summoned to Twin Gargoyles twice, first alone then with another phantom. Both times host died with the boss at sliver of health. * Fire Giant hosts consistently wait for buffs at the fog door. * Radagon hosts dive in instantly as I zone in. * Caught a host casting Scarlet Rot breath on Ekzykes. * Had a good first half of Godskin Duo, then Bernhal and the host just sat in the back of the room while I got overwhelmed by respawns. * Killed the Chrystalian Trio with a good host, no problem.

And if you put Spectral Lance on a Guardian Swordspear (poise wrecking halberd disguised as a spear) and then chug a Stonebarb Crack Tear potion you can stager bosses easily. For true magic Black Flame has pretty good range and does great damage with a lot of faith.

I've been searching for the perfect place to chill while waiting to get summoned. Obviously it doesn't matter, but it's still fun to me to try and find a spot that meets the following criteria: 1. Shelter - Protection from the rain 2. Quiet - No wind or screeching horns 3. On the Surface - No caves or sewers 4. Warm - Has a fire and isn't freezing cold Edit: 5. Dry - I'm not standing in water The closest I've come is the merchant on the beach under the fallen cliff in Limgrave, though sometimes I hangout at the Underground Roadside. Open to suggestions.

UnbearablyBlight posted:I can’t give suggestions because my tastes are pretty different from yours, but I always liked to find good waiting spots when I was invading too. My favorite was always fallen ruins on the lake. It feels like one of the most peaceful places in the game to me. Ruin strewn precipice is also really nice - beautiful view with somber harpy-song in the background. Actually there might be some spots that meet your criteria there too. Dyz posted:Theres a small campfire above Highroad Cave at the end of the little river that runs into Agheel Lake, its a pretty chill spot with a view of the Bestial Sanctum. I'll check these out, thanks! I think the best view in the game is from the top of Four Belfries when it's clear. Very peaceful.
