Okay, it's been a while, but let's see what I remember from DS2. This is mostly unchecked, so some of it might be bullshit. Adaptability is not a trap stat, it increases Agility, which in turn increases the speed and iframes of your dodges. However, Adaptability is not the only stat that increases Agility. Enemies that are killed enough times stop respawning. You CAN get them back by advancing the local area into NG+ and beyond. To turn human, you use a human effigy. Burning it does something like shut down multiplayer for a duration I think? Anything that's not completely broken is autorepaired for free when you sit at bonfires. Durability bars appear under your weapon icons on the d-pad interface. Hitting walls is bad. Being summoned and successfully cooperating restores you to human and gives you all the beneficial effects of having used a bonfire without respawning your enemies. It also gives you bird stones to trade for fabulous prizes. Weapon durability has a framerate bug, if you're on PC and attempt to fix it, you might get VAC banned.

I've been wondering if the controller was at all related to trouble kicking things, which is why I had asked in the previous LP, but an admittedly-cursory search of that model didn't turn up anything specific.Lprsti99 posted:EE: You also might want to look at the button prompt at bonfires a little more closely.

Sometimes you can get bizarre hardware quirks - Logitech F310's analog sticks have deadzones big enough to consistently turn properly-inputted kicks into regular attacks.

Ah, you've met the Pursuer! You know, with a controller-swapping playthrough, only one person getting to defeat (and possibly even fight at all) a boss seems like an obvious flaw... until you realize that you're carrying a co-op soapstone!

In addition to only having something miniscule like 5 iframes on a fastroll at low agility, certain formerly-safe animations have windows in which you can just be slapped out of them in general, as you have discovered at the fog door! Since this is a double blind LP of a souls game and the audience is undoubtedly throttling themselves trying not to go "do this now do this and do that and then do the thing with thing that does the thing with the other thing so you can get the thing to do the thing", perhaps exploration would be aided by whoever isn't driving having a notepad at hand. Why, no, I'm not suggesting this for the sole purpose of potential bonus materials in the form of illegible drunken scrawlings, why would you think that?  Nietzschean posted:We're gonna double spear!

horse, beware of message. I like Vengarl's hat. There's a certain piece of equipment. I don't remember where you get it, and it's not particularly useful in general. But it looks amazing when combined with Vengarl's hat. The combination may click instantly when you see it. It can help to advance gradually and really stare into the fog to spot all the ghosts guarding the woods porn or whatever is in those chests, but that's slow.

Might I suggest taking a closer look at the stats on rings? Alternative ep20 title: The Return of Depth Perception Why are those alcoves there? Well, "it's a collapsed dwarven thing town" certainly justifies it. The place being named Doors of Pharros lends some credence to that. But I don't think that's what you're asking. The question you are asking, you are only asking because you already had the answer in the first place: "So you'll run in and die."

Remember, in Dark Souls, "close" is not merely "a reasonable striking distance." "Close" is "armor-inspecting face-on-enemy-grundle-rubbing this-Taurus-Demon-is-not-anatomically-correct touching-the-enemy's-buttcheeks-despite-being-in-front-of-them" distance. Also Dark Souls does not take place on a planet with seas of alcohol you can stop jumping in.

You've met everyone's favorite character! Try wheel, but stay calm. The lance. Think of the lance as the police officer asking Nietzschean to walk in a straight line. The results, they are what you'd expect. As for the discrepancy between the two summons, I thiiiink you have both white soapstones you can compare? The big lantern, it does indeed do something (in addition to general visibility, I mean), and that something is directly related to the BEES situation.

tiistai posted:It's been fixed for a while now The information isn't even hard to find, but the very notion of looking for it seems to have been buried by the sheer volume and momentum of people parroting the 60 FPS Durability Bug line - myself included, in this very thread.

That brief moment of AFK distraction did seem to work out in the end though. At first I thought that The Charge Of The Badger Brigade was going to become the new jump attack, but now you've picked up the Twinblade and I just have NO idea where anything's going to go from here.

The Sinner does not teleport so much as they jump around quickly in a very dark area. An area so dark that lockon range is shorter. An area that can be relit by those two little side chambers that seemed otherwise pointless. I think that at least some part of why you keep getting turned into Heide's mashed potatoes is a combination of enemy tracking and the way you're dodging.

Hahaha Melentia's camouflage is too good The change to her inventory is kinda subtle to notice since you guys didn't buy much from her before, but she now has infinite lifegems. You also discovered the one-time interaction of receiving a gift after spending enough at her shop. Other potential gifts and inventory changes exist, obviously. Some may or may not be incredibly hilarious. Would you like to know more? In addition to map guy, there's another NPC you've met who can be brought back to Majula through simple dialogue exhaustion. Try Heide's, above the Dragonrider arena. Sindai posted:Some top-quality pursuit in these videos. I love what they did with him in SOTFS.

If memory serves, I thiiiiiink there's another loose end somewhere on the outer walls of the Tseldora cathedral. I WAS going to say that as much as I appreciate your dedication to making the whip work, you'll never have a spincrit Atterax in this game, but no it turns out all you needed to do was take the TWOOOO GRAKATA approach. Also that was a good :takei:

Deflecting that lizard off of the hole path only to fall into the hole yourself. I completely forgot the Covetous Demon could do that, and am pleased to be reminded. If memory serves when it comes to the whole poison-coating thing, you can think of your entire character model as a vertical status bar, and the poison-coating drains down over time at a set rate, which has implications for how you approach the stuff and how much of it you come into contact with.

It's really hard trying not to talk about every single little thing, because not only does this have a talking-into-the-past effect in a normal LP, it's doubled up here because of the old file / remade file situation. Suffice to say, I am looking forward to the new file videos. Good job handling the dead end pit of dogs and sinners, though.

The Red Eye Ring is very good in co-op, allowing someone tanked up to go "No, you will pay attention to ME" to basically everything, even bosses. I maintain that it also has a secondary fashion purpose which you should investigate while wearing the Helm of Vengarl. Fight poison with lifegems!

Earthen Peak's one of those places I never managed to get a good mental map of, and I'm pretty sure there's like at least double the amount of secrets you've found there so far, but damned if I could tell you where they are. Also this is probably moot now, but the poison coating drains at a constant rate, so rolling through it just fully covers you and makes it last longer. Petrified Somethings do something: they are the smoothest and silkiest! DrTempest posted:We found it, actually! The next episode is called "The Easy Way" for this reason.

Myself, I had heard about burning the windmill before, but had no idea where the trigger area was or even looked like until a friendly phantom pointed it out. The little ramp up to the main shaft does seem like a significant level geometry oddity, but the main shaft itself having the appearance of stone or rough metal causes a lot of people to dismiss it, and then react with "that's not supposed to be flammable" once they see it happen or hear about it. But then again, a moving part like that is probably lubricated? I want to say that the grave warden guarding it is a Scholar addition to further emphasize that yes, this one spot is important. Not the greatest setup. If it's a greatsword and dagger setup you want, though... any plans on doing DS3? Archenteron posted:Next time you go visit Straid, take a careful look at the Dragonrider Bow.

Straid's the legendary super sorcerer who figured out a whole hell of a lot more about what's going on than most people, and because of this was turned against and time-displaced. It's now many historical cycles later, he's basically been forgotten, everything's changed but at the same time not really, and the first person with the presence of mind to try unpetrifying him is an undead on yet another one of those vaguely defined quests to break the curse, but Straid knows better. What else is there to do but laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all, but especially at this bearer of the curse who keeps coming back to look at his stuff. And you know what? Why not add another to the pile of ridiculousness by making the bearer of the curse his first ever apprentice? As for what the Agape Ring does and why, you'll want to look into the Soul Memory stat.

Oh, the greeeeeed getting to you at the end of 59. Look at your health bar to see what the Pharros fountain does. Fortunately, this one doesn't get contaminated by the local environment's liquids the way the Earthen Peak one does. Fountains and water pots also have a soaking effect, similar to poison and oil. Fortunately, this does not fill some sort of bizarre drowning on land meter. Indeed, you've never had Ironclad Leggings before. You had Old Ironclad Leggings.

It might just be me watching everything at 2x speed, but I feel like your movement and exploration style is increasingly resembling the barely-controlled careening characteristic of a certain game without fall damage. Except this isn't that game, so there's a constant feeling of "oh my god what are you doing"
