I finally beat the (I don't know if it's worth spoilering this) Capra Demon with the help of a random person. It only took me 15 or so deaths before I decided to get help. I spent about 20 minutes trying to summon a friend and having it fail. When they had to go, I just started trying random people. It still took a couple tries. Please tell me that's the worst boss in the game.

Xander77 posted:Are there any mods that revert all the various instructions at the start to PC controls? (Seriously, the laziest bloody thing). I can't even ESC to check the control in the menu, for some reason. Had to kill that first demon with a broken dagger and no shield because I couldn't figure out how to equip stuff. Here's the one I use. It must use that exact file name (40fbc4ad.png). quote:1. You need latest DSfix installed I edited this one slightly since it had RMB RMB instead of LMB RMB icons. If you don't want to rebind keys, you'll have to use ENTER/BACKSPACE to navigate menus. If you want to use ESC to open the menu, you'll probably have to rebind "Open Start Menu" from Key Settings. Good luck.

Paracelsus posted:I don't think people try to summon for him very often because there's no easy/agreed-on location to look for signs (especially since it would be a fair bit from any bonfires) and people don't try to drop signs because there's such a huge chance that the host will just go through the fog gate and die before the summon has a chance to assist, so both sides have disincentives to making it work. I'm almost never human when going through there myself. I saw a bunch of signs on the small bridge right by the fog door. That's where I finally managed to successfully summon someone to help me with the boss. I just survived until they got through the fog door and killed the dogs.

Hopper posted:On the Topic of blacksmiths. Sure, why not. It's not like you can do anything with them other than drop them (until later) and as far as I can tell, you have a lot of inventory space and the items don't have weight when they are in there. Just put the extras in your Bottomless Box so you don't have to scroll through 20 longswords. Hopper posted:2. The Titanite Shards say +5 to weapon. I assume I need to wait until I meet a blacksmith to use them to power my weapons up? The "+5 to weapon" means you can use multiple shards to upgrade a weapon to a limit of +5. You will need to use multiple shards on 1 weapon. And I personally waited until I found a weapon I liked before upgrading. If you like a weapon, might as well upgrade it. There are plenty of chances to get shards. Hopper posted:3. Someone wrote a message ingame next to the Merchant in Undead Burgh basically saying "Kill for weapon". First off, don't trust the messages, especially if they say "Jump." That doesn't mean to just ignore them. Rather, assume the person who left it is up to no good. The merchant will be gone forever. As for butchering the story, I'm not sure, since I didn't kill him and I haven't beaten the game yet.

Mailer posted:There is some luck involved but it's nowhere near as bad as a few of the other bosses. It's really difficult on a blind playthrough. Once you know the mechanics it's just a boring routine followed by hoping that you don't eat two firestorm hits. It took me four tries, since I was given some hints by a friend. First run, I got (spoilers for how to beat it) both side orbs, dropped into the middle, over-shot that orb with my attack and promptly died to fire before I could swing again. Second run, I slide down and as I'm sliding, fire appears at the bottom. I die before I can stand up or roll away (not that there was a safe place to roll). Third run I get clipped by fire, mistime the regular attacks and those kill me. Fourth run was fine. Now the real fun was when I was summoned to help with the boss. I'll just say that the host died five times before I could reach the bottom of the ramp. I managed to convince the person they could beat it solo. I even had to link the first video I found on YouTube to show the proper way to drop onto the middle root since even though his English was decent, I wasn't sure if I could explain it well enough. Even then, it took a while. After about two hours of trying, he ran out of humanity. That was when he started trying solo. [Host]: this boss ... i will have nightmare about him tonight ....:-/ Polka_Rapper: Did you win? [Host]: no i didnīt ...i try 5times and every killed me about 2 minutes :-/ The next day, I got this. [Host]: hI :) Today i killed the tree :) Being a SunBro is tough but rewarding work. SynthOrange posted:Frampt's teeth are the scariest thing.

Nahxela posted:Are you unlocking your frames by any chance? When you re-enter the fight and Bed summons fire pillars, I don't think you're supposed to be able to get hurt by them, and I think unlocking FPS might do stuff to that, like Hellkite smooshing dudes in Burg or the Barrel guy in Burg dying to his own barrel. It's not unlocked. I was considering it for a while since I have some FPS issues (mostly fixed with some DSFix shadow/DoF changes) but decided against it. The third and fourth run, the fire pillars appeared behind me on the slide, so I have no idea why they appeared at the bottom that one time.

NG+ Four Kings are giving me trouble. After the first four (yes I know) attempts, I tried to summon some help. First summon died instantly because he didn't have his ring on. After 45 minutes of looking for another sign, the second summon Black Crystaled out as soon as he spawned. Third summon was a friend, and well, he lasted a bit longer than the second guy. I feel like I've hit a wall.

Nahxela posted:I'd recommend dropping one of those Great Fireballs for Power Within and going into the fight with that buff to help out your Great Combustion/Black Flame Damage. I might also switch out Great Fireball for a slot of combustion just because it's easier to use. What ring do you drop for the Covenant of Artorias? I think it'd be preferable to keep the Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring to keep your Pyro damage as high as possible. You'll be fat rolling if you keep all of the same equipment, but I imagine you're more interested in poise tanking what with that 62 poise. Power Within takes off way too much of my life with a Ascended +5 flame. I didn't know about poise tanking, and I had one terrible run where I was trying to fat-roll dodge. After reading your advice, I swapped Havel's for Bellowing Dragoncrest and didn't bother rolling at all. I beat them. Thanks for the help! As for the framerate issues, I don't want to unlock my FPS. A week ago I messed around with some settings and it mostly fixed my problems, but certain areas and particles (I drop to 15 frames if I look at most fog doors) are trouble.

Genocyber posted:Also I don't get what you mean by PW draining too much. It just means you need to Estus a bit more. So long as you stay close you should be able to tank as long as you keep an eye on your health. What it means is that the last time I used Power Within I had much less HP, and attributed the increased HP loss to my Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring or the Ascended Flame.

On a different note I'm level 90, probably about to jump to 98 tonight, and back with the SunBros. Where are some good areas to place my sign?

Arivia posted:Why would someone need assistance on Seath? Just stay right behind one of the small tails and whack away. So easy. Because all the crystals he spews tank my framerate. Chopping off his tail also does that until the shower of crystals stops. It was impossible on my own. It didn't stop me from helping a lot of people with him while I was in NG. I was at least able to hold my shield up and tank his hits, or throw fireballs at his back.

voltron lion force posted:No, you're right its most likely the glitch the doesn't reset your bonfire after a connection. Happens to me pretty often, usually when an invasion fails or right after one resolves. You can check to see if there's still an invader by looking at your homeward bones on your quick switch. They'll be greyed out if he's still there, and if they're not then just use one to fix the bonfire glitch. Also check to see if you can quit from the menu. There's been a few times that my Homeward Bone/White Soapstone has been grayed out and I was still able to quit from the menu.

I've got a few questions about summons/being summoned. When I get summoned to help someone, will dying to something in a way that normally afflicts a status (Curse Frogs, Seath) affect my non-summon character? I haven't been cursed as a summon in The Depths yet, but I'm kind of wary since I don't actually know what will happen if I am. I just joined the Forest Hunters on my current character for access to the katanas. I'm down in Blighttown swamp, helping people with Quelaag. If I actually use the ring and get summoned to the forest, where do I respawn if I either win or lose? Do I have to go find my bloodstain or anything?

If you die, you're back at the bonfire you last rested at and have to go get your bloodstain from where you were summoned. I'll just stand by the swamp bonfire with my sign down and cat ring on then. Either way, I'll have fun. Thanks!

Cyberventurer posted:gently caress gently caress gently caress, I hate it when I screw up and a shitload of souls and/or humanity go down the drain. I ended up losing 17 humanity on a newish character I made and just lost interest in playing him for a while, so I switch to my main and did it TWICE, once right before Gwyn and again in the next new game + for over 500,000 souls pissed away. I know it's still my fault but now I feel fatigued after that. As I progressed through the game, I went from raging at losing 15k souls + 10 humanity to not batting an eye at losing ~400k souls and a large amount of humanity. By then, I had figured out hyperfarming (Painted World + Chasm of the Abyss/Depths), so it was only a half hour's work to replace it. I still don't like losing them, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much. kazil posted:You should just get used to repairing more often or buying a repair kit. Stocking up on repair powder is also a good idea. It won't fix everything, but it will save you when your main weapon breaks.

Genocyber posted:e: It is actually possible to never die from Power Within; it involves having base Vit, dusk crown ring, and being cursed. Because your max HP is so low, the drain from Power Within is actually low enough to be completely offset by the Sanctus. Manage to get your hp low enough and you have perma RTR and PW. Well, I found a video of that in action.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oWTJzOss94

I didn't have any idea what I was doing when I started this build, and I'm not liking it. I intended it to be a low level co-op build but I went to 24 STR/DEX for the Dragonslayer Spear (which I like, but it doesn't seem to do that much damage even at +5). The other weapons I have lying around are a Divine Zwei +5, and a BSS +14. Is there a way to salvage this build, or should I just start with a new Faith character?
