I didn't get into the soulsborne games until last spring despite having had PtDE on the PC for I don't even know how long. Started with Bloodborne and then moved to DS1R, which I've now finished 3 times: NG and NG+ with a quality build with claymore and NG with a dex/int battlemage. Now I'm in NG+ with the dex/int character and running around with the tin crystallization catalyst, dusk crown ring and dark bead melting things in a couple of hits. On my first playthrough, I very nearly beat Gwyn without taking a hit (on like my 22nd try, when I realized I could parry the anime leap) but goofed at one point. Then, with the battlemage I finally managed to do just that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sUiMjJdQvk Gonna have to try barehanded parries next time. I'm on PS as GMORFLORD (and located in Europe) in case anyone would enjoy a spot of jolly co-operation. Edit: Was it in this thread where someone told about an encounter with a white phantom called KILL YOU who they summoned and who proceeded to wreck O&S's poo poo? Because I ran into what was probably the same guy as I went to Anor Londo on my latest playthrough and laughed my rear end off at all the enemies melting before what I assume was a barrage of dark bead.

I platted DS:R as my first platted Fromsoft game a month ago. Couldn't help myself, had to start another character, which I'm now considering to keep in Anor Londo as a jolly co-operator. Magic was very fun in NG+/++, though. https://youtu.be/p4UBUSlMZWM

Serephina posted:Current situation: I think I'm supposed to go to the Tomb of the Giants? But it's dark, I killed two large skellies then bailed since I knew I was gonna get myself killed at that rate. Or maybe the Valley of the Drakes (possible but I feel frail vs them)? Other options include a large golden gate near the entrance of Anor Londo, another Down in the Lava Pits of Hell, The Twisty Tree catwalks of I-hope-you-like-respawning at the bottom of the Poison Lake (which, btw, I cleared BEFORE finding the ring that lets me run through it, siiigh), and a Mist Door to Nowhere at the bottom of the drained lake of Ruined GhostVille, which leads to a spiral staircase downwards and a fatal drop. Have you fought the big doggo in the forest? If you have, you should have an item that turns that fatal drop into a non-fatal one. Edit: also, have you found the big ember in ghost town?

Elden Lord Godfrey posted:people wanted to see you get humiliated by one of the weakest enemies in the game Yeah, there was probably some level balancing going on, since in my own world, that guy would hit me for half my hp bar if I flubbed the running attack, not nearly ohko me. I'd been running a farming circuit of the hallway slimes for shards and rats for humanity while waiting to get summoned and I'd gotten quite good at the running attack and that's why I found it so hilarious that I got destroyed like that.

Arivia posted:I’m finally, finally finishing this game on like my third try. Got Artorias down this morning. It feels excellent to finally stab him out after an hour and a half of attempts. Kalameet/Manus/Gwyndolin/Sif/Four Kings/Gwyn remaining. Don't give up, skeleton! After Kalameet and Manus, those last three are gonna be real easy.

Dabir posted:You also gotta get through a bunch of serpents to get it, though. Fair enough. Pyromancy is a fine choice. I usuallt go with massive physical damage, though, ie. upgrade my weapon to +10, up my damage stats. And then go for backstabs or parries.

Speaking of damage types and resistances, is Smough immune to Dark Bead? I was fighting O&S with a sorcery build in ng+ and either I whiffed DB like 4 times or Smough just shrugged it off. Super Ornstein, however, took about as much damage from it as felt appropriate.

Dabir posted:Dark spells in DS1 deal physical damage, there's no special dark element for them. That's what I figured. Makes sense Smough's hammer is 100% phys block but when I switched to crystal soul spear, it let magic damage through.

Minotaurus Rex posted:drat it, I used up all my humanity before O&S. Is there a way to farm it before and also is there a closer bonfire to the boss door than the room with Solaire in? I’m always putting my sign down but getting no summons for some reason, even tho when I did have humanity I saw a bunch of peoples signs. Also any tips on the O&S fight appreciated. Last time I beat them co-op, then ended my run shortly after frustrated and stuck in the painted world with no humanity, so hoping to power on through and finally beat this game this run (lost that previous save). You can trudge your way back to the depths and farm the rats there for humanity, or try to get summoned for O&S and get humanity that way. Where are you putting down your sign? I find I get matches sometimes if I have my sign down in the Solaire bonfire room.

Peteyfoot posted:Thanks for the ring recs, I'll try a bunch of them out! I will also practice my kicks before I attempt to murder Shiva's bodyguard via gravity. If I gently caress up and aggro Shiva, do I just let them kill me? Better to kill them if you're aiming to get the ninja flip ring, they'll stay aggroed until you seek absolution. And if you're not invested in the cat covenant, it might be better to go to Blighttown where Shiva and the bodyguard will move to, and kill them there. No handy pit to kick the bodyguard into, but it's just the rwo of them (and mosquitoes). Also, you can buy poo poo from Shiva first and kill them after.

Mustached Demon posted:I then proceeded to kill an NPC I thought I had to bust out of the egg. Whoops, did I miss out on anything cool? Off the top of my head, a couple pyromancies you'd have to jump through some hoops to get anyway. Pyromancy upgrades, too, in case you've killed Laurentius and don't have the pyromancy flame up to +10 yet. Edit: Also, Sen's Fortress next.

I’d like to have the option of buying miracles from her later. Don't kill Petrus while Rhea and the bodyguards are still at Firelink. They'll aggro to you, too, if you do. After he's led them to the catacombs and returned alone, you can kill him at will.

I might be deluding myself, but I had this memory of getting taurus demon down in like three casts or something. Yeah, it's not quite that powerful at first but once you get your INT up and some more spells, it'll really shine. Case in point: https://youtu.be/G5V-phBUjU0?si=UFR8_e1G36kI8HRb

Minotaurus Rex posted:Oh man thinking I'd level a bit so I could take down Seath I've gone into the Painted World unprepared, and didn't realise you need hella toxic recovery moss and such... Have I hosed this run? Everything in there is kicking my rear end. gently caress! This is where my last run ended as well, I thought I'd improved and was just imagining it being tough. But no, it's tough. Is there anywhere to get toxic recovery stuff in the painted world? If you manage to beeline past the mushroomhead hollows to the round structure, you can kill the undead dragon on the bridge (bait a vomit attack on one side and run in to whack the foot on the other side, repeat until dead) and then do a jumping attack on its dead butt at the end of the bridge to make it stand up, run between its legs, drop down to the lower level of the bridge and run unimpeded to the boss fog. Then hop down from the ledge without bothering Priscilla. Edit: Acquire antitoxic moss and return to exact revenge.

Paying2Lurk posted:So I accidentally killed Siegemeyer in Sen's Fortress. (Sorry, bud.) Is the miracle that he eventually gives you exclusive? Or can you buy it from Rhea / someone else later? I can't remember. I'm just soul and item duping my way through this run, but still trying to get all the weapons / magic / etc for the trophies. I think I missed Hush in Sen's, too. No matter how many times I play it, I still get mixed up in there. Afaik, you can only get it from Siegmeyer. You need to play up to ng+2 anyway if you're aiming to get all the weapons, so get it from him later. Edit: Oh right, you said you were soul duping, nvm.

ulvir posted:put the game on hiatus due to things like work happening, and went back in at it. it’s pretty crazy how powerful magic is in this game. so far I only had to do more than one attempt at Capra, Seatb and Bed of Chaos. I was fearing the four kings, but somehow managed to get them down first try almost exclusively with homing crystal soul mass. I even went for the DLC and took down the guardian and in one go I was dreading the Four Kings fight when playing caster, so I went and did the DLC first. Afterwards, Four Kings was pretty anticlimactic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5V-phBUjU0

Great game Note that beating the last boss will automatically kick you into ng+, so do the dlc before that. If you're struggling with 4 kings, consider doing the dlc before them.
