Northern Regalia vitality build at level 60 is pretty funny. With Marion Blade and Clever Rat's Ring I just one-shot everybody invading in 1-1.

So I accidentally said No to releasing a guy in a cage in 3-2, but now I want to release him, but it seems that was my only chance?

Is it considered in poor taste to run Old Monk invades using the scraping spear? Because I think I just ruined every weapon and piece of gear this one guy had.

when I run old monk I honorably turtle up with max regen and warding. seeing the old monk boss bar endlessly go up as I just go around the room avoiding spells is fantastic you can tell they're getting madder by the second.

I remember being the Old Monk in the original and just having super lovely weapons but also baby's nail so I plagued some poor dude and we ran in circles for literally 20 minutes popping grass endlessly at each other

As Old Monk I ruthlessly one-shot like 8 people with FireStorm before someone finally counter-cheesed me with Homing Soul Arrow

Jesus I really wish pushing forward and hitting R1 with Meat Cleaver + shield wasn't a slowly-scraping-poo poo-off-the-floor-for-zero-damage move.

I beat the fire spider in 2-1 by cheesing it with a bow.  And now I have the Great Club and loving LMAO @ harvesting skellies. I can't believe these were my mortal enemy last week.

my sl18 troll build is letting me witness the 5 stages of grief with every invasion it's surprising how many people simply sit down and accept death or just jump off a ledge after only a few minutes also thanks to the user that brought up poison, kunai seem to surprise people every time

Also despite being 2 DEX from the Lava Bow stat requirement, the fire damage isn't hampered at all and it fires normally, so hell yeah gonna start using that for clearing ng+ world 5

I took the time to get to PBWT to kill some BPs to strengthen Demonbrandt but I'm starting to think I should just say gently caress it and rush to beat the game, aside from killing BP Scirvir to get Talisman of Beasts

Also upgrade your nail to +5 if you haven't already.

Also, if it helps, I've found that the Imperial Spy Hood (which you can put on after invading with the Silver Corset/Silver Catalyst for the SC cast), and Leather Armor/Gloves/Boots work perfectly at keeping my equip load under 50%, even when I'm playing around with other weapons. Edit: one last thing, having a +10 Kite Shield for PvE is extremely useful, it has a massive guard break rating of 75 with only 3.5 weight Raine fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Dec 2, 2020 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1qXcgERKk4 also here is some old monk scraping spear content if you want to see how widespread it is the most fun thing to do is break all their poo poo, and then when their spirit and will are broken you parry with a sword to one shot them

eonwe posted:hasan should stick to some poggers among us streams with AOC IMO He beat Sekiro and Dark Souls 3, which surprised me. Also holy poo poo I just beat the Vanguard in the tutorial and you get aslightly different fluted helmet that looks more like the original I guess? Looking it up, it’s just more like the original, and you pick it up, and only the helm, no other piece of the set, after the vanguard, in the area with the dragon god. I didn’t even really realize it was that different but I forgot how the original’s looked and how long the like ‘beak’ is. I took a screenshot, but I only just got to the nexus and I started as Royalty so I can’t directly compare the two unless I switched characters, but I’m glad they did this cause the original fluted armor is my favorite like traditional, like starting, or ‘regular’ knight set in any of the souls games:

Are we sure the game doesn't sync to server averages for tendency anymore? Only asking because I went to 1-1 with PWWT and went through the extra area. Then I looked last night and it doesn't look like Boletaria has PWWT anymore, just going off the icon. I didn't do anything else in World 1 that could have impacted it that I know 0f, unless killing the human enemy who attacks you in the PWWT area of 1-1 counts. EDIT: OH WELL GREAT GUESS THAT DOES COUNT. (Thanks for the replies and info  )

It does, I think it’s +3 black or something the tendency system sucks! it’s the worst! opaque Byzantine bullshit that will make you even more miserable if you choose to ignore it entirely!

That does count. My world tendencies have stayed as expected throughout multiple quits / crashes / power offs so I'm pretty sure they're only based on my world now instead of drifting towards an average.

i have no idea why From didn't take the extremely obvious step of making assists push your WT and CT towards White like invasions do for Black. it means trying to get any of the tendency-related content is this painstaking micromanagement-laden gauntlet of metagaming, because there's so few opportunities to achieve White tendency whereas death pushes you to Black, which is a problem when everything in the game wants to murder you making invader phantom kills count towards White is worthless too, because most invaders are exceptionally good at killing other players in the most infuriating ways possible. that's why they're invaders! i'd be disappointed if they weren't good at it!

Making invaders count towards white is double dumb because if you're at the point where you realize you've hosed up (AKA you've killed the bosses) you can't actually get invaded anymore.

Yep, will confirm. I have had worlds 2 and 4 at PWWT for many days while I have switch world 3 to PBWT and played Astrobot.

Yeah. They should set default tendency to +1 White which is where it hovered on PS3. Get to PWWT with a boss kill or two. Boletaria used to be close to +2.

Man, I'm trivializing this game with a Dex build and a +5 Sticky Compound Longbow. Did Bluepoint tweak the bow mechanics from the original game? I never used a bow in the original but I remember them feeling like poo poo in Dark Souls and requiring 2 button presses too many just fire the drat thing. But here they feel great and the bowstring thwap and arrow impact SFX make it feel surprisingly punchy to use. Although, they really monkey's pawed the Pure Bladestone fix, because now Chunks seem impossible to accrue.

They were good in DS1 for sniping, and pretty trash ever since. The opposite could be said for crossbows; they're utterly unusable in Demon's and borderline OP throughout Dark Souls.

I find bows really useful in Dark Souls 3 to help pick off enemies from groups, or pull one or two enemies at a time. That game loves to throw multiple aggressive, high-poise, super tanky enemies at you at once, and being able to whittle one down a bit with a bow and then deal with it one-on-one when it comes to you is great.

Oh there's nothing wrong with the idea of a bow, it's just they're statistically inferior in DS3. Crossbows require no stat investment and will out-damage any bow at any point in the game, and you can free-aim them in 3 so that niche is gone. Just use crossbows instead.

Oh huh, for some reason I just have it internalized that "crossbow = no free aim" so I didn't even try  That's good to know, since I haven't upgraded my longbow yet on my new DS3 run.

Just realized I missed the Colorless Demon's Soul in the PWWT area of 1-1. If I killed Miralda is it possible to get back to PWWT in Boletaria? I haven't done 1-3 or 1-4 yet. I got the two Colorless Demon's Souls from the crow, I was just hoping to be able to upgrade my Adjudicator's Shield again without doing the assassin quests.

Kill invaders. You can have a friend invade your game with a password and kill them until you get back up to PWWT.

That area also opens up with PBWT, so just go die a bunch and you can head back. Just note that there will be a BP for Miralda. Though she is relatively easy if you just block and backstab her
