If you can snipe two or three of the monsters before talking to Sieg it gives him a much better chance at survival. You can’t kill them all if you want the quest to continue, but you can improve his odds. You can also kick him into the pit if he gets stuck and won’t drop down by himself. Be careful not to attack him since he’ll aggro, but a kick should still work as long as there’s a monster left for him to fight once he’s down there. skasion fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Feb 11, 2021 |

I bought this when it came out, played a bit, then put it down for quite a while. I just started playing again, but the co-op seems pretty much dead. Am I wrong? I need to get enough co-op boss kills to join the sunlight covenant but I've only been summoned a few times over a pretty long period. I mainly tried being summoned at the anor londo bonfire where solaire is, and I also put my sign right at the entrance to the boss room. In both cases I was between level 50-60. I also tried putting my summon sign by the steps after you enter the forest using the crest of artorias, as I remember from when I did invasions that this place was super active, but nothing.codo27 posted:Dont listen to people who are mad the world geography of a fantasy game doesn't line up. 2 is good, literally nothing else good has come out besides the Souls series in recent years so dont deprive yourself okay but you gotta admit that the earthen peak thing where you see it's in the sky, and yet you somehow take an elevator up from it to lava world??? I didn't like the ds2 base game very much at all, but I did think the DLC was really good. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Yes, fairly dead, it’s a three year old remaster of a ten year old game.

Look at Heide's Tower across the water in the distance from Majula and then walk down the stairs and you're there. It's a fractured representation of the world and the different areas that you visit are not really physically adjacent to each other. yeah those were mentioned in that 40 minute long ds2 critique video by that irish dude yes I watched the whole thing

The best part about ds2 is all the fun weapons, just relax and try stuff out, like being a punchperson. Very Good.

No, DS3 is alive and DSR is dead primarily because the phantom spawning portal is the wrong color in DSR

I've played through all the games enough where I don't really feel like going through most of the game just to get stuff for co-op. Also in ds1 I think most would agree that the game up to and including O&S is just far superior to what comes after. So I just don't want to play the after part anymore.

I have never had an issue getting summons in the first area of DS3 which is good because it's a very hard first level. The couple of levels afterward are a little less consistent but still not much of a problem usually

I've been getting pretty consistent hits in DS3 - admittedly mostly invasions - so it's felt decently alive on PC.

DS3's PvP scene is extremely alive. There's a 50/50 chance if you invade that you'll roll up on someone's gank-squad. DS3 hates invaders, which means it's fun as hell.

Do yourself a favor and get the red eye orb early so you can invade as you go through the early levels, you'll have a blast. E: but unless you get some overleveled phantom kills you're not going to get anywhere near enough souls to level with.

I just mean you get such a piddly amount of souls from invasion kills that you usually have to kill like 10 people for a single level up.

Personally I don't do it for the souls, but for the sheer thrill of dunking some poor sucker who committed the crime of being my target. Getting some humanity on the side is a nice bonus though.

really the main benefit of getting souls from killing players is getting to reverse engineer the ridiculous levels of the overleveled phantoms hosts password summon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXuFYw0LTT4

I did start up DS3 for the first time in years and made a strength build using claymore. At level 18 or so I was able to invade at the high wall bonfire pretty easily. There was a sun bro with the siegmeyer armor and the door shield, I gotta admit that looks fun as hell how are people able to use that at such low level? doesn't it require 45 strength? actionjackson fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Feb 13, 2021 |

If they had a blue icon next to their healthbar(like in that video there), they are an 'overleveled' phantom. aka they're a higher level than normally would be allowed, but because the host and them are using a password they are allowed to summon them anyways. this comes with some statistical nerfs(mainly HP and damage) to bring them down to the host's level of power, but it's fairly rough. overleveled phantoms being able to still meet stat requirements for high stat req weapons is one thing, but also they can be wearing heavier armor and casting high stat spells as well-the stat debuffs they get aren't implemented that well since it only really brings them down to par if they're using the same sorts of gear as those at that level. ex, a super high level dude in havel's wielding a maxed splitleaf greatsword will have his damage reduced roughly the same proportional amount that another guy at that level but wielding just a broadsword would be. this doesn't really create a level playing field because if you cut damage by a percentage the endgame gear with higher stat reqs is still gonna hit quite a bit harder.

Everything pre-Road of Sacrifices is filled with Twinks toting endgame gear including statrings, weapons, etc. If you want to PvP and get a fair fight you're better off waiting till Pontiff Sulyvhan.

Ah okay thanks. I'm not looking for dueling (I know the area right after Pontiff is a big dueling area). I'm looking for places with enough enemy density that I can use that to my advantage. the password option allowing overleveled players is dumb though

i just discovered the incredibly tiny (like five people) world of those who have beaten a soulsborne gave without taking any hits you can take fall damage (as long as it doesn't kill you), and status effect damage (poison, toxic, etc.) but you can't get hit or staggered by any enemy one of them, squillakilla, did it on ds3, including the dlc, and at SL1

I know, but it's still a long-rear end hike to a terrible area  Now I wanted the ninjaflip ring, so I went down to blighttown and murdered Shiva's bodyguard. They dropped nothing, and no item appeared when I reloaded the area or even when I quit the game and reloaded. Is this a known buggy thing or can I just forget about it?
