Demon’s Souls would be a really hard act to follow. I don’t think this game is ripe for a latter-day third party expansion, that rarely ends well. Vikar Jerome posted:Oh so its 26... 26 years since Kings Field... not one, but two Give me King’s VRd Fromsoft

il serpente cosmico posted:The layout and enemies encounters are largely finished. It wouldn't be too big of a stretch for them to extrapolate a bit. It would be a big extrapolation. What exists in the files is the skeleton of 6-1, with basic texturing and no item placements or progression. Or bosses, you would have to come up with those from scratch. Also 6-2 and 6-3 in their entirety.

The lizard rules in this game are so infuriating. Honestly can’t believe they didn’t just change it to something that doesn’t sound like a cackling madman contrived it as a curse

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Trying not to dig too deep on the thread since this is a rare opportunity for me to play a game blind (I never played DeS) but can someone give me a quick walkthrough or key points of how exactly magic works in this in comparison to the other Souls games? I started with a spell class and... spells are unlimited? I see the blue magic bar by my health but it seems to refill after cast? Can I really go hog wild with spells? What’s going on? Same system as Dark Souls 3, except mp restore items are consumable and magic is actually good

neurotech posted:Arghhh all this talk of magic builds makes me want to start again as Royalty. Is it really that strong, and does that strength last throughout the game? Royalty is the easiest start by far, to the point where it's fairly broken. It can stay the same level of good the whole game, but only if you look up what gear and spells to get. If you want an easier than usual start that doesn't break the game, try Temple Knight.

Bust Rodd posted:Hey thread, once I get my Kris to +5, I'd like a spell damage weapon for my alternate, and I'm pretty bored of the Cresvent Falshion. What are the other weapons that scale with spell damage, and also does this "lava bow" i'm reading about scale with spell damage? I remember really liking the phosphorescent pole for a magic build. It’s a spear that regens MP like a crescent weapon and has great scaling. It’s somewhere in Latria, might need black tendency? Lava bow has little scaling but it stuns enemies because of the fire damage, that’s why it’s good. IIRC the rune shield gives a flat bonus to magic defense whenever you have it out, even if you’re not actively blocking with it (though it can also block magic fairly well on top of that). the kris, ring and hat lower magic defense by a percentage. So it’s not going to do much to counterbalance them, especially all three together.

Bust Rodd posted:I’m really not looking forward to having to fight all these bosses the ‘fair’ way on my second character. Faith is very strong in this game. There’s only one direct damage miracle, Wrath of God, but it whips rear end. You also get some excellent weapons like Istarelle, meat cleaver, and the moonlight greatsword.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:So what’s the go-to Faith/Regen build like? Just slap the adjudicator shield + blessed weapon then max out Faith and Vit? Any particular weapon of choice or upgrade / leveling priorities when starting out? Adjudicator shield, regenerator’s ring from 4-1, blessed mace+1 from 5-1 (or other weapon of your choice to make blessed, mirdan hammer is the classic pick). Upgrade shield and weapon all the way, it upgrades the regen too. Vit and faith to 50, end to 40

Blind Rasputin posted:Edit: is this also the last boss of the game? It could be, depending on the order in which you did things. You gotta kill the archdemon of each world, Allant is usually the last of the five but you can technically do him any time after you kill the first archdemon.

There’s more types than that, sucker stone for bleed, mercury stone for poison, marrow stone for bonus crits, darkmoon stone as an alternate magic upgrade that gives mp regen but tanks physical scaling, and also one path exclusive to bows and one exclusive to shields, which is kind of weird. Also fire weapons don’t scale in this game, they just do a lot of damage

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Are there any weird benchmark/tiers to matchmaking in this game like in Dark Souls where it’s based on weapon upgrades? And what are the general floors for PVP/doing co-op ship. Is 120 still the go to in this game? 120/125 is for duels. idk what it is like at that level at the moment, but in old DeS the point of going to 125 was if you wanted to hang out in a fight club at the start of 4-1 all day. If you want to do invasions you can get hits at pretty much any level. 80 will let you invade people who are endgame ready but not PvP optimized chars

Demon’s Souls is a dungeon crawling game first and foremost and that’s not true of any of the other games, though early on in DS1 it seems like it is.

Augus posted:The Undead Settlement in DS3 was always weird to me because the view you get of it from above and the wide layout of the level make it really feel like it’s supposed to be a central hub that connects to multiple areas but no it just has the one exit to the road of sacrifice It was supposed to be. Earlier in development it connected to Carthus (below Greatwood’s arena), God’s Grave (entire area was cut/reworked into Ringed City), and Smoldering Lake (not sure where this linked up)

Each of the worlds in DeS is supposed to regularly give you a resource through enemy drops, the idea being that if you are running low on something you can go to another world to stock up. Boletaria is for grass, Stonefang is for upgrades, Latria is for spice, Shrine is for souls, and Valley is for the inner power that comes from loathing and rage at video games

I lost a fuckton of souls because of that. I'm not above being a dick and quitting the game if thats what it takes. Play in soul form, or play offline Can’t summon but that’s the price. You can also sometimes troll invaders by using the miracle Hidden Soul with the Graverobber’s Ring and just sitting around invisibly. If you can do that you might as well just get Banish instead though

Mirdan Hammer is in 5-2 annoyingly. You can sometimes get it to drop from the hammer miners in 2-1, which is theoretically faster, but in practice means you’re at the mercy of the drop table

fknlo posted:I want the monk's head wrapping for my mage, what's the easiest way to get it? Just invade past the Maneater arch stone. Don’t worry about beating anyone, it may make things faster but if you keep doing it you have a good chance of finding a host who dies on the way up the stairs. If you haven’t cleared Maneaters yet, then find an out-of-the-way cell in the Prison and put a summon sign somewhere no one would ever click on it. If the game can’t find any invaders for the boss fight it will start pulling from summon signs elsewhere in Latria.

Wield in the offhand while spellcasting for fun Large sword of searching is useless as a weapon, but again, gives a good passive bonus Dozer axe is decent but not really worth it Scraping spear is only good for loving with people in PvP Needle of eternal agony is Maneaters’ final revenge on the player, it’s useless
