How do I get Karmic Justice to work? I've been running around letting various enemies beat the poo poo out of me but it doesn't seem to want to do anything.

Yodzilla posted:Ugh loving Blighttown Miranda was great on my second playthrough, she pretty much tanked the thing while me and a phantom beat down the boss. Was glad I could have the help as pyro is utterly useless agaisnt her. @Zain, it's possible to get through without a holy weapon. You just need to bum rush the necromancers deeper in. I did it with my pyro at 18, I just screwed up and got lost and lost like 41 humanity I had built up from white phantoming.

So I killed Seath and I have a quick question. Logan left his place in the Archives, I thought he was supposed to leave a chest when he left? After than I ran up and killed his hollow form. However, there still isn't any chest with his robe and whatnot. Did I mess this up somehow? edit: That worked, thanks. I left once, ran back from Anor Londo, took two more times for it to show up. marie_eh fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Oct 21, 2011 |

The faces actually help you. Trigger them, step back, and watch them decimate the skeletons. But yeah if you don't have a super strong melee weapon I'd say avoid the Catacombs but it's not nearly as impossible as it seems once you learn to avoid things.

Then I got one-hit killed by that AOE attack and welp. I switched to my Gravelord Sword, summoned some dudes, and kicked her loving rear end. I think I might use that as my main from now on. Any reason not to?

So I tried to go through the catacombs with a divine weapon and it made absolutely no difference. Is it supposed to permanently kill the skeletons or something? I saw no difference and only crap damage, so I just busted through with a big non-elemental sword as usual.

It's good in the short run, like many other weapons. It's essentially like a better drake sword that can toxin things. It'll be good for a while, but you can make something better if you want, since you can only get it to +5.

That can actually be a major annoyance since if you're fighting a skeleton with a divine weapon and an AOE gets the killing blow they're not disabled from coming back to life.

I saw no difference and only crap damage, so I just busted through with a big non-elemental sword as usual. Did the same thing, made a +10 divine mace and it did half the damage my lightning halberd did and they got up just as fast. And whens that update coming? And is there an explanation in English for it, the google translate text didn't make much sense.

Samurai Sanders posted:Man, what is it with this game and the scaling rates not improving as you upgrade weapons? Did it cause a major problem in PvP in Demon's or something? I don't know, I really hope they improve this in the patch so that my Enchanted Claymore is suddenly more powerful and not just cool looking on my mage. I'd also KILL for them to allow us to upgrade the silver knight weapons as normal weapons, the longsword is just too slick looking to not want to use.

Ovaltine Jenkins posted:How do I get Karmic Justice to work? I've been running around letting various enemies beat the poo poo out of me but it doesn't seem to want to do anything. When I tested it it either seemed to be a very low chance of triggering or a trigger after X hits within a given time period (possibly the duration of the spell). I didn't do enough testing to make a conclusion but if you want to see it go off, cast it and walk into the room after the fencer on the stairs where you get mobbed by the pink dudes before the bell gargoyles . That should trigger it pretty much immediately. Has anyone experimented with a magic dagger or cestus build? I'm thinking of starting a sorcerer and using a quick weapon for melee. It seems like enchantment scaling (resins/the weapon enchantment spells) work independently of the weapon's base stats; meaning quicker weapons should put out higher dps from high level magic weapon spells then slow weapons. The bit of experimenting I did with a cestus today I also was fairly impressed by. The recovery time from it hitting a shield was basically nil and I could kill the snakes in Sen's Fortress while they blocked with the magic damage spillover. If nothing else a sorcerer that used magic weapon and a dagger or cestus until it gets access to high level spells could be viable.

I'm having so much loving fun spiking fireballs at sinners stuck inside of the Painting. The Fog Ring is maybe making it too easy, but I sort of don't care because taking down FTWSKILLZ and his buddy phantoms is disgustingly fun

It's also good to note that as you'd have high int, a backup enchanted weapon could be useful, especially if you picked out a fast weapon with A int scaling.

This is kind of a weird thing to say because Enchanted is pretty much the only form of viable scaling. Frankly, the problem is that scaling weapons are eclipsed by the absurd damage values of non-scaling weapons. I think they wanted to compensate for the lack of scaling but went way, way overboard. edit: Or maybe they designed the formula for Lightning/Fire damage with weaker weapons like swords and spears in mind without considering how it would affect weapons with higher base damage and how that relates to defense (the effectiveness of more damage is not linear).

I'd probably go with a backup fire or lightning cestus. I think either of those might be able to lock someone with the elemental damage, especially with how quick cestus and dagger attacks come out. Does poise effect the elemental stun locks? Like when you get hit by fire or lightning and you flinch? Or just physical flinches?

Suppose this is true, but as I've been sticking to SL18 for a while and haven't had the chance to start pumping into Int it appears to be less useful. Looks pretty cool though.

Can someone throw some stats at me for their +15 elemental weapons? I had some guy on the DS chat saying something like "My +15 Lightning Spear does like 250/250 damage! It's huge!" and I far outclass that with my +5 Dark Knight Greataxe and Greatsword, with the added bonus of not poking in a straight line.

Black Knight greatsword does 307 at +5 with some scaling. +5 Lightning claymore does 283 and 286. +5 lightning longsword does 200 224.

If you do use that shortcut, you'll need to use a Homeward Bone or die to get out, and if you use any bonfires down there, you're hosed. Easiest ways to get through it is to have a really nasty weapon that can quickly kill the skeletons (then just charge down the necromancers so that the skeletons can't get back up) or go through with a weapon with the divine property, which killing blows from a divine weapon will prevent the skeletons from getting back up. If you started with the Master Key, you can get Astora's Straight Sword really freaking easy at the beginning of the game. Requires 14 faith I think, but is a fairly strong divine weapon with the Long Sword attack set.

More specific damage number were added making me redundant But the Black Knight Axe/Greatsword are really good weapons for their categories, and are some of the few weapons that can compete with elemental upgrades in damage, so keep using them if you think they're cool!

He seems to spawn if you come at him from the taurus boss bridge. Apparently its supposed to be possible to kill him with arrows from the tower behind him with the black knight, but I've never been able to get him to stay in place till I got there.

Elysiume posted:That's what I'm trying to do, but he won't cooperate. For me it always works to go down through havel's tower and rest at the bonfire in darkroot basin right next to the elevator to the valley of the drakes, then come back up and run across the bridge and then down underneath as usual. I don't know why this works but 3 of the 3 times I've tried it it has, I think using a bonfire outside the burg and parish messes up the dragon somehow.

Try not to sweat losing souls, you can farm them in some areas pretty easily. Edit: I once lost like 50k I think, and another time lost 41 humanity. Happens in this game, can't let it get to you.

waspinator posted:Still looking for more armor/sub-weapon suggestions for my belmont run -- i'm mainly using wanderer's armor with throwing knives and firebombs(holy water), and the whip of course! If you have the notched whip, use it. It'll make your damage slightly less pathetic, because it's both more effective against armored targets and it causes bleed. Not to say you'll be killing anything, but it'll be better than the divine whip. Maybe go with Homing soulmass/homing crystal soulmass or something for a HYDRO STORM analogue?
