I'm kinda annoyed at how dark soulsy it looked. write one game that doesn't involve a curse from soft. One!!

so cool that every game is open world with static repetitive combat scenarios with beacons to light fragments to collect and Unlockables

People need to stop making jokes about how this game will be bad and like an Ubisoft game because their jokes are making me cry

I would guess from its location that Mind replaces Attunement/increases your FP. Arcane is probably for a third type of magic, pyro/dark or whatever. Maybe Bloodborne style off-beat magic tools

Yeah I really wish from soft would stop making these jokes

memeing aside I just watched a guy light a beacon to a generic combat mission where he rides there on his teleporting horse and then proceeds to stealth kill them all for loot

I'm just happy the crowd of people who like open world beacon lighting map unlocking crafting games with an animal companion where you can crouch walk to avoid generic enemy encounters that give you incremental pieces of loot are finally getting another game. looks like it's missing walk and talk missions but I'm sure they can add some if the fans request it

Just wait until they announce the escort missions. Seriously though I think it looks like a pretty fun game but then again I'm not a souls purist, I enjoyed DS2 more than 1 and 3 :shrug:

2 was my favorite of the main series too. that had as close to an Open World as you'd want in a souls game

And that's how I met three of my new favourite enemy. It's like a wind up doll mixed with one of those hectic string storys with the button that collapse when you press it. or Dark Souls Geno from SMRPG

hop on down to the big friendly area with all the bloodstains. run from the mean man but theres some cool loot in a room on the left down there. you will die, unless you're pro, so spend your souls first lol.

Thanks! I found that giy and the cipher is there anything else?

Has anyone used the Cipher Pata? I'm juicing my faith to 30 to be able to use it but I'm afraid I'll hate it. If I equip the +5 faith talisman can I equip it with 25 faith?

Ghislaine of YOSPOS
Apr 19, 2020

So I did end up equipping the cipher pata and really love em, especially the dual wield. you can r1 and interrupt most small enemies before they get off and r2 quickly too. equipping the faith talisman let me use it with faith 25.

Is there more than one mine to get smithing stones from in or near Limgrave? All I've found so far is Limgrave Tunnel as far as "mines full of smithing stones" go

There's also an easy one on the peninsula

so I've juiced my faith to 30 so I can use the cipher pata. I just realized the hook claws offer a similar play style and bleed. Is there a way to tell if it would be better to just level up the claws?

How much does boosting Dex improve your casting speed? I think in some other games it didn't start kicking in til like dex 35

Feel like a bit of a dope chasing dex/str to use the winged scythe without realizing it’s 24 faith to use. Now I’m stuck with a flail that I don’t want to take past +3 because I’m starting to think it kinda stinks, and my DPS is suffering. Is Quality viable? I’m thinking I push to 20/20 either committing to the flail (which just takes a bit to come out) or pick anything else

Which flail stinks?

I'm still using the starting Confessor shield, are there any other decent 100% phys resist ones to go for? ive seen a guide say to use the brass shield but it doesn't seem that much better. how does the shield weapon art work? do you have to 2hand the shield, pop the weapon art, then get your main hand back out?


juiced the nightrider flail to hell and do like it. you can charge R2 on horseback and you'll swing your flail for constant damage, makes it very easy to proc bleed. guard counters with it are quick and easy. watching my friends use strength weapons and chunk poo poo in 5 hits is a little discouraging but what can you do.

kinda wish I hadn't jacked my faith and dex both up to 25 because I'm feeling real low on health, stamina, and especially FP. With the extra points I put into arcane for the dragon spells I've invested points in literally every category

I've gotten like four dex weapons and zero staves now, god drat it

The Great Epee seems pretty good though, but the flails seem middling, unless the Nightrider Flail hits a ton or something

I'm maining the nightrider flail. mostly for the aesthetics. regular hits are a little anemic but the bleed spikes are quite satisfying. vs bosses where you can shield tank it's very good because it has a quick, strong, bleedy guard counter. it's great on horseback because you spin the flail whirligig-fashion and it stacks hits very quickly.

its an above average Dex weapon with a shield up circle play style which may or may not fill a niche for you. it also upgrades with generic mats. there are some busted weapons in this game, this isn't one of them, but it's plenty good.

you can see most of the side dungeons on the map if you look closely. idk about most but many. it's good to explore every square inch of the overworld anyway imo. this game plays with your sightlines expertly, often you need to be up close to see treasures and loot.
