This will be my first release-day purchase since Dragon's Dogma. On the spectrum between Dickwraith and Sunbro I'm squarely on the Sun side, thought I don't mind indulging in a bit of righteous vengeance now and then. I'll have to resist making a 'jack of all trades' character from the start since I will die to invaders (and the environment) regardless of my build.

The threshold for fall damage seems very low this time around... an unfortunate degree of realism. I wonder if the Agility stat ties into that. I took a photo of the statue/plaque that counts worldwide deaths. Won't stay at zero much longer, that's for sure. Capsaicin posted:Does anyone know where in inventory keys are stored?

Over three thousand deaths worldwide already. The back side of the monument can be examined as well, though it's currently unreadable.

YESSS my first message rating! Instant minor health recovery. I also rescind my earlier gripe about dead mooks. After the tutorial they persist... you just can't kick them around.

Yes, but there's a difference between Leave and Discard. The first places it on the ground, the second flat-out deletes it. edit: Be wary of above , Keep moving!

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN go into first-person/zoom mode with crossbows! You simply have to be 2-handing it first, then press either shoulder button corresponding to the offhand. You even crouch while doing so, for those concerned about hitboxes. Speaking of two-handing, you can choose to two-hand your left-hand slot by holding the button instead of tapping it. In case the utility of having two slots for bolts/arrows isn't clear, it's one for each shoulder button. More slots for everything and a higher threshold for fatrolling... we're so spoiled now.

Just got invaded, while hollow and standing next to the bonfire blow the bridge in Huntsman's Woods. I survived a Fire Tempest, but not the follow-up flurry of blade swings. Lost the 10k I lost to the Chariot. Totally worth it.

Travelling to another world to assist an Apostle of Blue in distress...  I was pulled to Huntsman's Copse all the way from the Valley, but by the time the loading screen finished, the invader had already won.

Welp, there goes 100k lost in a bloodstain, with a single Manikin between me and retrieval. Was not expecting three poison daggers in rapid succession, and I was too close to the bonfire for resting there to be an option. I knew about the 3k Ring of rear end Saving in the Wharf, but figured I'd pick it up later. What were the odds I'd die twice in a row, in the same room?  I'm still two days behind the thread, but if it's been confirmed that you only need to beat the Old Iron King for the blacksmith's daughter to sell unlimited titanite shards (and all the bosses on the most direct route, obviously) I was thinking I could get a relatively low SL dude (38 currently) that far and start setting up an elaborate trading system via co-op. Or just disperse vast quantities of shards to the masses, like some kind of Crystal Lizard Overlord.

Undead Crypt cleverness/assholery: The torch-carrying hollow is non-hostile even when struck, but kill it anyway. It will slowly follow you as far as you let it, and if it gets too close to Agdayne, he and his Wardens will go hostile and you'll need to pay Cromwell 1000x(Your SL) to undo it. Dragon Shrine silliness: When you first meet the Ancient Dragon, you can do a running jump onto his tail and climb a short ways. It's fun! If you're fighting him but aren't expecting to win, you can jump onto his back feet. If you're balanced on his toes when he decides to use his flying fire breath, you could get launched into the stratosphere. Netcode strangeness makes his feet clip into the floor just before jumping, so this could happen to you by accident - which is how I first discovered it. I saw nothing but sky for a full 20 seconds before YOU DIED came up.

Lotish posted:This game has some of the neatest touches you're never going to see playing normally. drat straight. After slaying King Vendrick, If you visit Queen Nashandra on her throne before where you fought Double Dragonriders, there's a bit of new dialogue. If memory serves it's just one line, "Drangleic has fallen." On a side note, it took me a while to realize that you fight The Pursuer and The Giant Lord in the exact same place.

DoctaFun posted:I'm having trouble reaching a certain loot soul thing in between Grave of the Saints and The Gutter. If memory serves, that's the Disc Chime, a chime that doubles as a shield. Predictably, it's not fantastic in either category. If you can at least land on the platform but keep rolling off, try a plunge attack after a running jump to stick the landing.

Seiren posted:Speaking of weapon infusions, I've been playing around with, and found uses for Enchanted infusions. I'm sorry if something similar has been posted, but the thread is seriously 1600+ posts since I last looked and I'm not reading through all of it just to see if this information exists. This wiki does not seem to have the more obscure bits information I have to share, although other sources might. So here goes...! I love resins as a concept but I'd rather not rely on them for then my SM would inflate as my SL stagnates.

Seiren posted:I did some science. Some real research on this, because I got curious. I hosed with Enchanted for a good, long time, and I've come to the conclusion that the Enchanted infusion is either broken somehow, or is simply worthless. Knowing FROM, I figured there was some sort of secret to it, and there might still be, but my testing revealed nothing except for some interesting facts. Well, crap. Thanks again for your noble sacrifice. Guess it's Raw for me wherever additional damage types don't quite fit, regardless of my build. Someday, my

Incoming  for DEX weapon lovers:I've been experimenting with standard dual-wielding (not power-stancing) thrusting swords and discovered that if at least one of the pair is "unique" (Spider's Silk, Ricard's, et al) you can chain pokes faster by alternating L1/R1 compared to spamming one button or alternating with two "standard" thrusting swords. This technique burns less stamina as well! When alternating swings between any thrusting sword and a non-great weapon, the delay after the slash/strike is visibly shorter compared to the delay after a thrust.
