People who use red summon signs to 1v1 tend to go without estus, but during invasions any etiquette goes out the window. gently caress invaders who expect honor duels.

Stop locking on to giant enemies. That poo poo is only there for ranged attacks. They really aught to make lock auto break within a certain radius of those kind of bosses so people will stop trying to use it while fighting melee. The first stage is easy if you're just controlling the camera yourself.

For the guy having trouble with UK's first stage: Hang out on the right side (your left) of the wyvern's neck, just behind his head. Smack his head from behind and keep his neck in view, the way it curves will indicate all of the Unnamed King's attacks. The neck animations are really pronounced and distinctive. You'll just be dodging to the other side of the neck and back again, and that's it. Dunno if the second form is parry-able or not, I didn't try in any of my playthroughs. If you want to trivialize it you can use Yhorm's greatshield, or any similar greatshield with over 70 stability and decent lightning defense. snoremac posted:I'm a bit bummed out that I had to look up how to reach Archdragon Peaks but I never would've thought to return to that area. It's a little inconspicuous. I think it's harder to find than The Great Hollow + Ash Lake. I guess finding such things through messages/Internet is intended though. It's more like the Painted World equivalent than Great Hollow. Whereas Untended Graves is found quite a lot like Great Hollow is. There are a few more clues for the Peak though. You can see it prominently from the view after Vordt so you know you can go there, and then the dragon dude is sitting staring right at it with an empty seat beside him. It that lodges in your memory then getting the same emote is enough to complete the logic... But that's a big if. Most people probably don't look super hard at the vista and then keep track of what parts they've been to before the end. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Apr 22, 2016 |

I think it's just hard to repeat in an interesting way. The novelty made it cool in Demon's, but if you repeat the exact idea then it's just a mandatory pvp fight with a specific build. The squire idea for Mirror Knight was good on paper, but obvious difficult to technically implement and so it fell flat. How many other possibilities would work? I guess AW could have been interesting if the adds had been player controlled, and when you spawn you are randomly assigned to assist or kill the host?

Yeah definitely that's how. Crippling limbs was a major part of BB's bosses and one even lost its legs, just didn't know that was anywhere in DS3. Mostly cause I just stabbed that demon in the butt same as his ancestors.

I did a mound makers invasion where the host was just two handing Havel's great shield and summoning an endless wave of phantoms to fight for him. Like just using them to escort him through the level while they did all the pve and pvp for him, and when one would die he'd run all the way back to the start to summon another. I normally like to take the host's side as a mad phantom cause it's way more interesting, but that guy needed to die. Unfortunately, after an eternity of fruitlessly trying to kill the guy with waves of fellow invaders, I accidentally fulfilled my duty while defending myself against phantoms.

Is that 1) true? 2) viable? 3) fun? Or should I stick to my traditional high-str heavy-armor guy Eh, there's one ring that returns health on successive attacks and another that heals on kills... But the amount of healing is pretty small compared to BB's regain. Not nearly enough to instantly return health lost from a hit. So no, you can't quite play like BB.

Jewel Repetition posted:What does equip load do? It seems to make me fatroll at 75% but other than that not doesn't have as much of an effect as in DS1. Fat roll over 70, fast roll under 30, normal roll in between. No difference in iframes between fast and normal, just a quicker animation. Not much different from how it was in DS1, except that the fast roll is less of an improvement. DS2 was the only one where the roll was heavily affected by different levels of equip load.

Are the higher SL ranks more populated now because of the bigger audience, or do Japanese players just tend to play at higher SL? My experience with previous Souls games was that multiplayer dies off once your SL/SM goes too high, but in DS3 I'm still getting a lot of invasions in NG+++ at SL 230. Not sure if it's the playing habits of my current region or just lots of new people playing past the meta. Unfortunately they all seem to be people who grinded levels to try and make up for a lack of skill, cause they sure do go down easy. Which makes me think it has to be the influx of new players, because veterans know that over-leveling has never been that helpful in these games.

Yeah smothering the flame seems to be the best ending, as it finally lets the stretched-too-thin first flame die out so that someday a fresh flame can begin. The way its narrated also makes it the only ending in the series that has a hopeful tone. The other option is trying to stretch the final flame even further, prolonging the dying state of the world (it doesn't flourish or show any signs of growing stronger as it did in DS1), or consuming the flame with dark to become a Hollow Lord (Which in retrospect is probably what Nashandra wanted from you in DS2?) The entire point of the series seems to be accepting the end so something new can begin, rather than clinging on to an increasingly thin existence that just produces increasingly more suffering. Gwyn was wrong to ever try and prolong the flame, etc. Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 03:12 on May 2, 2016 |

RatHat posted:Smothering the flame is good in theory but it'll kinda kill out most life since most won't be able to survive in the dark(hollows being one of the few). I'm not so sure even hollows are gonna last too long? I kinda figured it would lead to a lifeless/deathless state similar to the age of everlasting dragons until a new flame sprung up. That's the whole point, preserving life is no longer worth while when it's become so thin and bleak. The old needs to die to make way for something new. Basically Dark Souls was really about euthanasia all along.

hard counter posted:There's definitely "good" fire and bad fire, good dark and bad dark in this series yeah. Yeah, a few people have theorized that the abyss is dark out of control, while chaos is fire out of control. At least in the game's metaphor if not in the actual plot. The story seems concerned with the balance of dark and fire, which I figure also means allowing for alternating ages of fire and ages of dark. Ravenfood posted:How does this differ from (ds1) Kaathe's ending? He has you enter an age of dark and it doesn't seem to have changed much. Or do we just assume that the ds1 protagonist didn't do that? Yeah, I took it that the world got to it's state because no one's ever let the fire finally die before, so the first flame has just been stretched thinner and thinner.

So over on reddit someone pointed out that the dudes turning into spindly trees in Lothric gradually look more and more like the flying tree butterflies around Lothric Castle. They also have the moonlight butterfly move-set and spells during the dragon armor fight. So that got me thinking. Something about Lothric is turning people into hosed up moonlight butterflies, and we know the king and his scholars were loving around with Seethe's magic. That might retroactively clarify a detail in DS1. Seethe was kidnapping maidens for experiments, and we see the failures of his experiments in his prison... But what were the successes? Well if Lothric's butterflies are made from people, and Seethe's cave is full of moonlight butterflies, then maybe...?

Xenolalia posted:BTW that spell mentioned a few pages back that Karla sells. How does that make any sense, if you're an undead how is a magic blade going to help you kill yourself. Isn't it implied that even dissecting and burying undead doesn't work that well? If theories about Karla being Zullie's daughter are correct, then her mother is not undead and Karla is... half undead? But she might also be Zullie renamed/reincarnated? At any rate Zullie seems to have been a fragment of Manus and Karla is at least partly that. Who knows how death works anyway. Fellow undead NPCs (well, except the Shrine Maiden, DS3 Andre, the DS3 Firekeeper...) and undead bosses seem to stay dead, as did all the fragments of Manus in DS2. So undead don't stay dead unless you kill them really hard, and whether you killed them hard enough is determined by whether they're still needed for gameplay or not.

RatHat posted:It's mostly due to the fork in the road that lets you choose between Cathedral of the Deep and Farron Keep. You have to do the areas in a specific order to not gently caress up the npc quests. And even then they're kinda obscure due to hidden triggers. Onion bro being in that well that you never have a reason to return to, but doesn't spawn there until you open the last shortcut door, is also a big part of it. Anri's dark ending outcome is pretty easy to get, and the various magic vendors are simple enough. Really it's just greirat and onion bro that are a pain.

The tiny damage and the ascending pitch while holding l2 were enough for me to figure out the yhorm fight. I was familiar with the storm king though so that took some of the guesswork out. Once you know there's a superpower locked in that sword I think there's enough clues, but people who missed Demon's won't know that until they read the description, which does suck.

Internet Kraken posted:So about those black parasites you see coming out of various creatures; could they be larval primordial serpents? I've seen it speculated that they are some kind of dragon, but in Lothric Castle the two dragons you kill are being controlled by those black parasites. So it doesn't seem like they are dragons but rather a malformed offshot of them; which would be the serpents. The statues in The Cathedral of the deep also depict various stages of a pilgrim first having the goo pop out of his back, and later it forming into a winged creature and enveloping him. The official name of that poo poo is apparently "The Pus of Man," for what it's worth.

Simply Simon posted:Did you fight the dragon on the cliff? THAT is bad. For Storm King, you can (and definitely should) just hang out in front of him, not locked on, to see what he'll do. Lock on when he starts flying in a circle. For the dragon, you have to be in-between his legs and it's the worst loving thing. It's a good thing the cliff dragon has a very low chance of hitting you, because you also have a very low chance of seeing poo poo. I killed him by just mashing R1 when I had stamina and chugging in the odd instance where I lost health, all while not seeing poo poo. The King of the Storm is fine though. As you say, hang out around its neck unlocked and it's a piece of cake. Can normally get to the second phase without taking a hit.
