areyoucontagious posted:How do I go into offline mode? Do I need to cut my internet? Stay in hallow form and never use your humanity to turn into a human. If you do that, people cannot invade you and you can't summon co-op help. Also, what are the various punishments for losing PvP as an invader? Is it like losing to a normal enemy where you just have to go back to your death site and touch your blood stain?

Right, but if I want to use the NPC summon and not get invaded by hackers, is there no option for offline play? Also, he just messaged me: "Get good kid, it's called a shotel" Yeah huh, it was definitely the shotel that soaked my pyro damage.

So is Kalameet meant to be like the biggest baddest boss in the game? That son of a bitch has a buttload of health and me and my sunbros have been getting wrecked trying to take it down. If I spend all of my Pyromancy and make every shot count I can get him down to about half health but then my physical attacks don't do poo poo. This is the last thing I can do in the game besides co-opping and murdering all the NPCs before I finish the game too.

Is the general consensus that Artorias is a fun fight? Because I just don't see it. It's a glorified Bed of Chaos redo. Be perfect or die. Stupid.

sicarius posted:It's mostly the fact that it took enemies I was having to actually fight and parry and made me kill them in one hit. It's not really that anyone else cares, it's that I care the game became silly easy because of a little secret about chopping off a dragon's tail with 30+ arrows. The issue with the Drake Sword is that players tend to rely on it way to much. I know that when I see someone coming at me with a Drake Sword it's an easy kill. That easy feeling the Drake Sword gives disappears almost as quickly as you get it. As areyoucontagious mentioned. Actually I'd love to see someone do a Drake Sword PVP gimmick and own everyone via chain backstabs/pro play.

I know that while invading in Blightown 80% of the people I played against used it. I could just stand there and let them attack me with almost no damage taken. I can't help but message these people saying they need to switch up weapons.

He was tough but once I learned his tells and was able to keep my attack up I kicked his rear end. Not letting him freak the gently caress out and do double damage really is key. Kalameet on the other hand...

You just have to learn what he does and if you have a trash shield and trash poise learn what you have to dodge instead of tank and you'll be fine. Personally I haven't beat him solo on my SL 20 ganker dude yet but I have barely tried all my options. What is your dude built like, maybe you can get some HOT TIPS?

Probably about 1/4th of the white phantoms that a host grabs has it.

So the Drake Valley connects up with the back of Blight town? I've finally done it, I've finally reached the point where I have to advance the main storyline of the game

Alright this online stuff is being wonky as hell. My NAT is open and I had no problem summoning and co-oping with my friend more than once the other day. Now I can't do anything online-wise and my UPnP is 'not active' according to GFWL. I've forwarded the ports, put the upnp options on automatic on my system, turned upnp on my router, and turned network discovery on. But according to GFWL my upnp isn't on, and my NAT is still open yet I cannot invade or see any summon signs (yes I'm the right level for the area I'm in) Anyone know what the gently caress? This is really frustrating.

I guess that there's a boss in the Undead Asylum I never fought, maybe I'll go see what he's up to.

Went at him an hour and 15 mins. straight.

I think Blighttown might be my favorite place. I've spent at least 20 hours there on my first and so far only character and by now i know the place inside out. More than half of my ~35 multiplayer assists were in Blighttown. Then again, i'm prepared with Poison ring + rusted iron + upgraded Pyro set + Spider shield+10. Screw Sen's fortress though. I'd glad i have the short cut.

There's a ring in the Undead Asylum that makes Blighttown a lot more manageable, if you haven't gotten that yet. Also I really like Blighttown a whole lot. Even the laggy console version of Blighttown. The design of the upper levels is fantastic, I usually won't skip the first half of Blighttown unless I'm trying to speed through the entire game.

I'm liking Ornstein's helmet a lot more since I realized it was a great helm with a lion crest on top (the mouth is the visor) instead of a weird disproportionate tiny lion head helmet. I feel bad for this guy I've tried to help beat O&S twice, but both times I disconnected somehow before the end.

Green shards too if you wanna breeze through snake mans in sen's with a fire weapon. Also gently caress the great hollow, I do not look forward to the day when I actually attempt to navigate my way down that place  .

Ornstein's helm is the worst helm in the game, because From doesn't let us have the red tassel like Ornstein has.

Well by the sound of it you seem like you have a pretty decent handle on it. My only real advice would be roll towards him during the big jump, might stick you behind him or at his back corners.

gently caress this, I quit. I am a big stupid baby getting mad about video games. S&O can gently caress themselves. I have 4 out of 16 humanity left, lost to bullshit cheaters, my own stupidity, and fighting those two bastards. I'm really thinking about giving up on my SL1 playthrough.

Two handing a BSS with no armor. I had a lot of fun. Tips: When he does the huge leap attack just wait until he is about to hit you and then roll back, it takes a while to get the timing down but once you get it he should never hit you and it's a real good opportunity to get hits in.
