sirtommygunn posted:I'm about 10 hours into the game and my game has started crashing within seconds of loading into the world at firelink shrine, what do I do? I've tried lowering all my settings but it hasn't helped. Make sure lighting in particular is set to low, also wear a full-face helmet when possible. Also try disabling the steam overlay. Somehow these are the top tips for reducing the frequency of this game exploding.

Welp I just suck I guess. Setting a record by not even being able to beat the damned tutorial area boss. Lost track of how many times I've died and how many different ways I've tried. :/ Here I thought Cleric would be kinda a nice first foray.

Wildtortilla posted:In the Cathedral I'm really confused. I am in the big watery area with two giants, both dead at this point. I raised two of the platforms and am struggling to find a lever for the third. I thought I only had two raised so I took the elevator up near the Deacons boss fight. To an area I visited earlier and wished I had raised the platformr, except now there was an onion knight there telling me about treasure on the other side of the raised bridge. I ran out and we all know what happens. The platforms lower and now I'm back to trying to raise all three. Am I overlooking the platform lever that Mr. Not-So-Onion-Knight was standing next to? The first lever is down on the ground level in the basin of clean water. The second lever is up where Patches was hanging out, it's how he lowered you back down. The third lever is In the far, far corner across the cathedral from the second giant (also on the ground level).

Grizzled Patriarch posted:It's a janky, unbalanced mess, but it's also a total blast. I dunno why, From's PvP just works for me. I think because it doesn't pretend to be super-serious / competitive / fair, and because there's nothing at stake but your time, it lets you just do dumb stuff and mess around and not get angry at video games or whatever. Like it can be frustrating in the heat of the moment when some total bullshit happens, but afterward I usually find myself laughing about it. It's just got a weirdly perfect balance of legitimate fun and high tension without all of the downsides that comes with a lot of other PvP games. it's because the rest of the game is quite hard and punishingly "unfair" from time to time; being on the receiving end of a sudden invasion is the feeling of unfairness hitting mach 5 so there's nothing to do but ride the exhilaration and terror.

Don't need any in depth spoiling tactics or anything, but can someone tell me, does the (I assume) last boss have more than one HP bar or am I missing a gimmick that should make it die when its health is gone?

My pvp experience has been -spend five or ten minutes running around trying to find whatever obscure corner the host has crammed themselves in this time -we fight, which is basically who gets the first hit and stunlocks -if they survive, they run away or whatever and estus with no risk. The hunter charms are worthless Noone's willing to do fun things, like play along with mad phantoms or hang out in dangerous but fun areas. Why would they? The best bet is to hide in some corner, hoping they black crystal out, or roll with a phantom posse. It's boring most of the time, for little payoff.

So, Anri storyline question: I killed Wolnir before I did Deacons of the Deep. So Anri showed up in the shrine and said she was heading for the catacombs. So should I explore the Smouldering Lake and kill Horace now or wait for later? I'm not trying to get the "dark" ending because I hardly spoke to Yoel and Yuria never appeared, so I'm just trying to not make Anri an enemy or bring them to the "best" resolution I can give them.

Primarily that's what I've been trying since on try 38746 when I was one swing away from killing him that's what I did. Other than that time I never get him below half because even with the shield up he takes out like 1/4 my life when he hits and that assumes he's not in "lol I get 3 hits" combo.

Mazerunner posted:Unpopular opinion time: this isn't an unpopular opinion, a ton of ppl play these games offline or hollow or w/e specifically to avoid ever having to deal with pvp, and from has been trying various measures to keep invaders from being as prevalent and invasions from being as frequent as they were in dark souls in every game since; random pvp was basically broken in dark souls 2 and bloodborne it's wrong, but not unpopular.

Lost track of how many times I've died and how many different ways I've tried. :/ Took me 30 tries with the Deprived but only one with the Knight. Playing the tin can is easy mode to the max. You can just shield block his attacks then attack a few times. That said, keep at it without using the knight. It's teaching you invaluable lessons in stamina management, moveset reads, and the importance of staying close to the enemy/boss.

The only starting class i''ve had a really hard time with so far is Herald, the spear kinda sucks damage wise.

DrBouvenstein posted:They're tough, but I love their design. Reminds me a little bit of wendigos. Lots of drawings of them I've seen look similar. I agree with you. Going up the wolf covenant ladder literally puts you in the area from Dark Souls 1 where you fight the Taurus demon. If you recall, heading straight down from this area led you to Havel and out to the Darkroot garden. I thought the big enemies in Farron's Keep could be a nasty, evolved version of the ent guys from darkroot.

To get to the side with the lever on it: Climb up onto the rafters on the very top of the cathedral via coming in through the outside roof; there will be a ledge you can drop down to over by the bigass knight dudes which will lead to a path, and the second lever.

So the boss of the Catacombs was nothing but pain and I managed to literally die in the middle of my victory because I got lag-killed by its murderbreath (still squeaked out the win, though). And now I'm in the next area and it's even more pain than the pain I was in before. The difficulty curve so far has been this slow relentless uphill slope, at least in DS1 and Bloodborne my gear and experience would eventually level things out but it's like every minute detail in every area of every zone is uniquely designed to hurt me.

I don't know why the loving Hell they can't get blue covenants right Like I'd settle for either being able to counter-invade people outside WoB or having a Blue Eye Orb, instead we get two identical covenants that are identical versions of Blue Sentinels that don't have cracked orbs or a dueling arena

Woo, finally made enough progress that I can go to either Annor Londor Christmas Special or the Lost Catacombs of Izalith. The former is annoying me because the normal enemies are lightning fast and one-shotting my squishy caster...it's starting to feel like Super Meat Boy Souls. Oh and that one pyromancer surrounded by his mad hollow buddies. The latter is annoying because I can't find the path to the stupid ballista. Also the assholes from Farron's Keep that walk around with their spine straight up and leap around to rip off your neck are not any easier when they bounce off a ceiling. On the plus side, I found a pyromancy tome and a hidden wall with the axe-wielding Black Knight behind it and got a Black Knight Sword!

Kiln is pretty wild for invasions, at least half the time it's gank squads, and with the dried finger they can have three summons now Does the dried finger work if you've defeated the boss of an area?

https://imgur.com/a/olgvn This is a really good link that someone in this thread put up, so I'm putting it here myself for ease of access for myself. It's really interesting. Some of the stuff is probably unused items that were left out of the final game, while some others may hint at future DLC content. What kind of surprises me is how the NPC faces actually kind of match up with their characters. Irina is blind, Cornyx is old, etc.
