actionjackson posted:Anyone have a problem with a certain action being done twice when it should only be done once - for example I've hit R1 once and my weapon has been swung twice. This is really awful especially with the scythe which takes a long time to recover. If you hit a button during a recovery time I think the game queues it up to happen after you fully recovered. It's the most annoying thing.

Acquire Currency! posted:Well, I made it to the second bonfire. I was so dedicated to getting there that I zoned my way through the poison swamp. Did take me a bit to realize those loving Mosquitos respawn forever. The Light Crossbow is the best thing for Mosquitos. pew pew pew It doesn't take much upgrading to have it one-shot them, +4 is what I usually take it to before hitting the Depths.

If you are locked on and shoot on his second slouch you will tag him right in the head which will break him out of it. By far the easiest way I've found, and until you learn the timing, you are at least at a safe distance.

If you are locked on and shoot on his second slouch you will tag him right in the head which will break him out of it. I think it's just breaking his poise that interrupts it. Two-handing a weapon and whacking him two or three times should do it unless you're using a dagger or something. Since he always rolls twice before doing it, you can recognize it and run in early, get enough hits in to stop him.

I'm beginning to work on a Gravelord (I know, I know). Is there any particular sweet spot SL wise for one? I imagine dicking in the forest will be the easiest but that means I can't kill either Sif or the Butterfly, correct? Or is it just Sif that I can't do? I want to get the Dark Set from Darkwraithing first so I'm guessing I'll just dickrwatch in NG then switch proper in NG+ once I have all the gear I need.

After seeing and getting crushed by loving stone brutes I flew into a blind Dark Souls Rage (TM). Ran through the swamp, past every enemy, and right into crazy lava spider chick's room. White hot with rage- I took her down in one try. Ringing that loving bell was so awesome after this bullshit. It cooled me down enough to promptly turn right the gently caress around at literally hell. Regardless, I got back into Blighttown and did it the correct way- Swamp to Bridge Bonfire in one go. Running like a mad swords man conducting a sharp drive by through this hell-hole. I only need one Estus Flask to quench my thirst. Hey Blighttown,  Edit: That son of a bitch killed my mute friend. Double edit: there's a penis serpent in my pool. Acquire Currency! fucked around with this message at May 19, 2013 around 04:07 |

People do gravelord in the forest. I even managed to find a sign despite not seeing phantoms in my area. Then again, I wasn't looking in the area where the black phantoms might be. Undead Burg is a popular place, but yes, Tomb of the Giants is a Gravelord Hotspot. I won another big jackpot in the Forest Covenant! Over 760,000 souls! Most I've won yet. WHOOOO!!! I was up against a build that contained: Havel's Armor, Some sort of mask or headpiece, hollow waistcloth and what was most likely the Flamberge(it was a big sword). I managed to her down by half of her hitpoints until she finally took me down with a few nasty swipes. Right after that, two trees KILLED HER and I jumped for joy when I was rewarded with all those swords! I'm sure the other invader, who was far away, loved it too. Before that, it was the usual. Win some, lose quite a bit(I swear, some people either have obscenely powerful builds, or are just really good at Co-Op/Gameplay). The antic of the day: Some guy disguising himself as a shrub and then moving around with homing arrows. Yea, no one could possibly see that. Fought Paladin LeeRoy earlier than I thought I would! I was only in the Tomb of the Giants to farm souls/humanity, but wow that level is tough. Thank the gods for Pyro is all I can say! Oh, and the Sunlight Maggot too. I love that thing! The Duke's Archives is a lovely level. Even the monsters are pretty!

Invading as an SL40 pyro in Sen's got kind of slow, so I'm in sunbro township. You can fight at pretty much any level though. My faith dude is at SL142, which I guess is too high to get summoned into the forest much by Alvina anymore. I didn't plan that one very well, so maybe I should just scrap it and start over?

The forest invasions don't have a level requirement, so it's possible for someone of your level to invade someone of, say, 75.

Forest invasions do have some sort of restriction though. If I'm 50, I'll fight others around 50. If I'm 200, I'll fight others using Grant and heavier gear. It seems to be paired up somehow.

Some people will use the bridge/building so they could take on one person at a time. Others will try to use the environment or simply run/hide in order to bide their time until someone else shows up. The tree enemies/NPCs aren't a guarantee. I just learned some new DS slang today, "Scrubs" and "Tryhards". Oookay.

loving christ, I am having more trouble with the Four Kings than with O&S. Nothing is scratching them, I can barely kill 1 with great chaos fireball before the next two kings arrive. Please tell me that there is some sort of trick, I am playing on a melee/pyro build so I don't have any good miracles or sorceries.

For maximum damage efficiency, use Combustion and Great Combustion as your main offensive spells, buy the Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, find and save Dusk, the pick up the Dusk Crown and use that, and use Power Within for the fight. You can either learn to dodge roll or just tank it up, but Combustion/Great Combustion with Bellowing Dragon Crest, Power Within, Dusk Crown, and a fully upgraded pyro flame is absurdly good. Chaos Fireball is not that great of an option for Four Kings. While a single hit can do a hefty amount of damage, the attunement cost and the amount of casts make it too limiting an option.

I went up that and managed alright (even pulled some hardcore looking red monk cloths out of a chest) but I didn't find a way back. Oh man now the whole thread will see how bad I am.

Spergminer posted:loving christ, I am having more trouble with the Four Kings than with O&S. Nothing is scratching them, I can barely kill 1 with great chaos fireball before the next two kings arrive. Poise, motherfucker. Do you speak it? Put on your tankiest armor. Havel's, Giant's, Black Iron...whatever. Don't give a gently caress about being slow. Put the big armor in your inventory, and put it on just before you jump into the Abyss. All that matters is that nothing should interrupt your actions. Throw the grass crest shield on your back for stamina regen. Eat some stamina grass if you have it, too. Now pick the biggest, most powerful weapon in your arsenal, two-hand that motherfucker, and charge right for the first king. Get in his face. Swing away! If you have pyro or spells, cast something when you run out of stamina. Don't let something silly like being tired stop you from smacking a bitch up. Try Great Combustion if you have it. Breathe some motherfucking fire on the kings of nothing at all. Drink some estus when you lose some of your health. Slot humanity into your item bar so you can snap one if you run out of flasks. Whatever, it's not like they can stop you. The only thing you should even think about dodging is the grab. Not because it will kill you. Sure, it hurts more than most of their attacks. The big issue is that it takes you out of the fight for about 15 seconds. Sometimes the kings will spam the grab move, which is really about the only way to lose. Swing swing swing swing fireball swing swing swing swing drink swing swing swing fireball swing swing drink dodge fireball swing swing. Don't stop swinging while a king is dying, you can still hurt them! If you do it right, you'll have time to spam "Well, what is it?" three or four times to the empty Abyss while you wait for the next King to spawn.

Mighty Dicktron posted:Note: this will not work on NG+ so you're honestly better off learning how to dodge their attacks. In NG+, their added health is the killer, because you really can't kill them easily before the next spawns. Its still a dps race, but its front-loaded. Blow your wad on the first or second king, be sure to dodge the magic attack, and hopefully you can get their overall health down enough that you can finish them off before you get totally gangbanged. I like to start in hyper mode with the red tearstone ring and power within. Nuke the first couple kings with the most powerful magic I can. Then heal to full and take out the rest.
