neetengie posted:Shrine of Storms has all the loot you could ever need, the Crescent Falchion is busted because magic damage lol, Adjudicator's Shield is great because of the Damage reduction and HP regen, there's a Regenerator Ring there as well, and the first boss soul of the world makes an amazing Str/Faith weapon that is busted. Just keep in mind to be aware of your surroundings and such. Magic is OP, but melee is still good. Bah, magic. Just get yourself a Guillotine Axe and make it Crushing. Behead everything!  (Though a Soul Arrow here and there never hurts...) Actually, that was always what felt like the biggest difference to me. In DeS you can out just a few points into magic and have a good side option. Soul Arrow/Homing Soul Arrow pretty much carried me through the game for the places where my weapons didn't. In DaS and DaS 2 magic feels completely useless until you get you INT into the 40's and use the high end spells. Flytrap fucked around with this message at 14:54 on May 12, 2014 |

oldpainless posted:It hits me with that web which slows me down and then it just spams fireballs over and over. I make mistakes on dodging which is my fault but I can't even see anything half the time because the fireballs brighten up the whole screen so I just roll hoping its at the correct time and not into the path of another fireball or web. Yeah, the web is a bitch. Really not much you can do but dodge better and have a good shield to block the fireballs if you get caught.

I think I need to rethink my stance on heavy armor. On a whim I decided to play a Temple Knight while keeping the armor, and between the damage reduction the blessed equipment effect the regeneration miracle and my massive healthbar, I'm more or less immortal. Only time I've gone fast roll is against the Flamelurker. Been against everything else. Flytrap fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jul 1, 2014 |

Manatee Cannon posted:Royal is far and away the best starter class. Armor isn't really that big a deal. I've always been partial to the Meat Cleaver and Blueblood Sword as far as weapons go. Speaking of those, nobody will think badly of you if you use the copy glitch on them.

Any opinions on the Rune Sword and shield? I kind of want to make a build around them, but from what I hear I'd be better off just magic enchanting literally anything else, and I can never tell if people on the internet are just being forthright about something that sucks or just grossly overacting about optimization.

Oi, that sucks, I always though they both looked cool. Oh well, might as well do that moonlight build then.

lordfrikk posted:Thanks for the tips! I switched to a decently upgraded long sword which can take them out in 3 hits, that's good enough for me. I managed to slog my way through to the end and kill the Adjudicator but then I found a secret passage and some super crazy black skeleton chopped me to pieces, seems like he had waaay more health than the other black skeletons I met so far. Since I couldn't find out how to continue I went to 2-1 and proceeeded to kill the Armored Spider, currently killing bugs. The general tendency is a mix of the server's neutral state, and a combination of all other players on the server. The servers are set to Not Quite White and at this point, most of the people still playing are pretty drat good at the game, so even if you really darken you're world it will go back to whitish pretty fast if you leave the world. If you're looking to go to a specific state though, you want to go offline.

Fifteen of Many posted:Flamelurker You want a really high upgraded weapon for him, with some SWS slathered on it for more damage. Though there is a trick if you have enough spice with them Soul Arrows. When you start the fight,goad him towards you. Then, run past him to the stairwell behind him, run up it, and place yourself in the back corner behind the debris. You may have to do this a few times, but when you do it right, it shatters his AI and you're free to hit him with ranged attacks with impunity. Just be ready to dodge out of the way and restart the cycle if his AI fixes itself for a second.

. I've almost killed him twice now (ended up grinding a couple of levels to get soul arrow on my lil soldier since straight melee seems to be right out) and am using the pillars to play keep away. Does he have some kind of berserk when he's low HP? It seems like my last couple of tries he's one or two soul arrows away from dead but he goes into this frantic combo mode where it's just nothing but fire all the time and I'm stunned until dead.

Manatee Cannon posted:Nah, False King is harder than either of those assuming you aren't abusing Poison Cloud. Man, I don't know why the Hell everyone considers False so difficult, he's never once managed to actually kill me. You'd have to face six of them at on e with a broken sword to make him half as difficult as the Flame Lurker.

Zaphod42 posted:Huh, this kinda reminds me... wasn't there something about Smough eating people in some dark souls item description? Smough takes the bones of the people he executes and grinds them up for spice. He started doing that primarily to prove he was Hardcore Edgy enough to hand out with the 4 Knights. That plan didn't work.

I'm not sure if its shorter than other souls games or I just know what im doing now but i finished in under 20 hours Well, Demon's could be the shortest of any of the games considering you only need to finish 2 worlds.

I remember Tumblr had a Back To Lordran event a while back, maybe we should have a Back To Boletaria. Just one week where we all start a new file and get one last round of griefing and Monking on.

DeS is also a lot less balanced than the later games. Grass is plentiful and easily ground, healing weapons and armor are incredibly powerful, magic hits like a loving truck even at low levels and requires very little investment to use, magic restoring spice is so common that you can spam it all day, and the open world makes it easy to get a lot of really good poo poo really early even by accident. It also still has the item copy glitch that lets you break the game wide open, so that's fun.
