So.

Trying to get Lucatiel through the Flexile Sentry on NG+ without her dying. Just about to go in when I get invaded by a red spirit. Run back up on deck and look around. The guy is loading in on the planks leading up to the boat. Facing the water. Standing almost -off- the walkway - and his back is facing away from the ship.

So I run over while he's still loading, backstab, and the animation slides him out into thin air suspended over the water.

As soon as he gains control, he falls straight down and dies.

The real Dark Souls starts here.

He should have skilled harder.

First time doing pvp today, had a lot of fun duelling. Need to get better at dealing with magic users though, once I see them use homing soul mass and crystal magic weapon it's pretty much over at the moment.

So how do melees win against magic users

I do ok with a FAI build using a lightning great sword. I have great range and 2 hits when I'm buffed means death. Vs lightning spears, accurately judge the distance from the caster, roll though the spear and poke. If I'm near enough just a running smack will do. Vs affinity and homing soul mass. Get close enough to trigger the attack and then roll. Good players are baiting that attack so they can fire off their next spell so just be on the lookout. Any other direct fire spells can be rolled. Hexes tend to have poor tracking. Vs pyromancy you can just roll away. If it's a long cast time spell roll backwards. Otherwise keep as close to the caster as possible, surprise with jumping attacks (some weapons have insane range) and poke with Avelyn.
 
Fuck those Enhanced Undead before Lost Sinner in NG+. I think have to kill them until they despawn so my run backs with Luca is less annoying. They seem to have high defense. Takes a bit to kill them.

If you book it to the fog, Lucatiel should make it with minimal damage.
 
Holy shit at the increased archers in the one room in the castle in NG+.

Is mirror knight the only boss that gets affected by ascetics in central castle bonfire? Thinking of doing the NPC quest by just killing him 3 times. I'll be starting in NG+ though. I didn't use NPCs in NG.

It bothers me that the boss weapons are basically the only weapons with unique moves/movesets, but the items needed to upgrade them are so goddamn rare. You can break it by abusing ascetics at Aldia or the Aerie, but still.

I am considering that. I don't care too much about finishing the game. After I get to a few spots to farm some souls, and nab a few more items, I'ma just do PVP for awhile.
 
My crushed eye orb isn't working with you know who. I'm on my NG++ run! need this for my last trophy. Is there some requirement I might have missed?
 
Made a lot of progress in NG+. Beat ruined sentinels with only a NPC summon as a distraction. Love using Faith in addition to Pyro. I'm playing offline right now. Don't need invaders to fuck up my run backs.

Depends on the spell, you can roll to the side. Lag stab? You can't stop that.

Roll with decent agility or use a shield that's been infused to ward against spells (Rebel Greatshield, Magic Magic Shield, etc). Keep up pressure. Hope you don't get clipped randomly.

Thanks for the tips!
And i was only joking with the lag question. ;-)
 
Reallocated stats for a mundane santier's spear/avelyn pvp build but I can't shake away from how well I can use the Claymore/Avelyn combo. Totally different movesets and its messing with my headddd. The twinblade moveset is sweet and all, but the range... man..
 
badnewsbeers said:
Thanks. Is the claymore move set the same?
Click to expand...

As far as I know Yes...but I wouldnt really know .....I hate using it...too slow...if you want to stun things you might as well go ulttra greatsword...only problem is you stun things with smaller weapons regardless....FROM really likes pushing for DEX if you hate being slow...but they are finally giving the pooor str guys some scaling benefits and more damage.

Easily the most annoying section of the game. There is an NPC summon along the main pathway after the second bonfire. She is a complete tank with a ton of magic defense and HP. Summon her and just move on.
Click to expand...

I found her to be the most useless teat ever ...she died three times falling off the ledge without hittng a fly...I had to save HER a few times from the slug monsters....USELESS troll summon from FROM! The only thing she did do was attract the odd homing magic spam, but half the time she drew fire back to me as it missed her and hit me anyway. I'll give her another chance in NG+ if people have had other experiences, but I already gave her three chances.
 
Oh man, did I just fuck myself over with a sidequest? Just before the boss fog in
Shrine of Amana
, there was a door that opened into a room. I clicked R3 out of instinct and it locked onto something on the floor. I went up and killed it without thinking before realizing it was one of those
maidens.
What did I screw myself out of?
 
Just reached D
ragon
A
erie
and it's absolutely beautiful. I took a few screenshots with my capture card that are definitely going to make their way into my desktop wallpaper rotation.

In case anyone else is interested, here are the 1080p PNGs: Image 1, Image 2, Image 3
 
Finally, got the
darklurker
dude but I couldnt resist to compared him to the ressurection angel from WoW

Now to Doors of parros then NPC slaughter
 
Still on my first run through at the moment and I've wasted my
Great (or is it Lord?)
souls. Is it worth using the ascetics to pick up more souls? Or is that not viable?

I also read difficulty is ramped up and carries through to NG+.

You will get more souls later, pretty insane how much souls and warriors souls you can find in one starting area compared to DS1.

I used ascetics to get another Soul Geyser (endgame spell) and tried to do the luca achievement but the rotten boss is really tough

If I'm not mistaken, that will lock you out of an area after
the boss fight which you can use to unhollow IF you have no effigys at all, item box included. I believe there are a few items in there and an NPC there gives you an item (if you use the Key to the Embedded and talk to Milf again inside Drangleic Castle) but I don't think any of it is a big deal.

I'm not 100% on this but it happened to a friend
and he never found a way inside on that playthrough.

I'm pretty much at the end and don't want to miss out on getting V

Yeah, he seems to say that no matter what you do. Buy stuff, don't buy stuff, and apparently when you're not smart enough. You could be 99 in all stats and he'll mock you still I swear.

poise is broken in pvp, practically useless. better to go with light weight and fast roll

Against NPC enemies too it seems. Well, that one rapier asshole in
the Dark Chasm
got brushed off, but then some other asshole was stunning me with a dagger. It's kind of useful against regular enemies, but I wouldn't bother going with heavier armor regardless.
 
This is definitely the glitchiest and buggiest Souls entry.

I already encountered at least a couple of glitches that interfered with gameplay.
 
Original Text: http://info.darksouls.jp/other/pc/information_detail/2014-04-08-01.html
Changed the "heavy" throwing animation for Corrosive Urns. Reduced corrosive damage to items when hit.
Increase in durability on Twin Blade Weapon / Decreased their durability degradation.
Moonlight Greatsword can no longer be enchanted and buffed. Attack animation has been slowed / adjusted.
The upward adjustment weight, the degree of toughness, the defense of "large helmet of Gerumu warrior" Armor (Thanks Google Translate. I have no idea what a Gerumu is).
Reduced damage from the Ring of Thorns.
Reduced damage from the Ring of the Old Sun
Damage will not decrease for every enemy that Soul Spear pieces trough.
Increase in casting time and decrease of damage for Soul Greatsword
Upward adjustment of the bullet speed "lump of Seoul to be tracked" magic "crystal mass of Seoul to be tracked", and a lower adjustment of stamina take the amount of darkness surgery "those who follow" (Unsure of the horrible Google Translate)
The downward adjustment of the amount of damage "torrent of Seoul" magic (I'm guessing a nerf in Soul Geyser or Soul Vortex)
Casting speed on recovery spells being lengthened.
Increased casting time and decreased damage for Wrath of Gods
Decrease in damage and increase in casting time for all Fire Storm-esque pyromancies. Might also include a decrease in damage for Forbidden Sun.
Increased defense for Lucatiel, Benhart, and Manscorpion Tark (one other NPC mentioned).
The downward adjustment of the HP enemy "rupture the Dead" (???)
Female mages in Shrine Of Amana receiving nerf in both damage and their spell's tracking ability.
Fire Lizards in Forest of Fallen Giants will not spit fire in slower intervals.
Downward adjustment period the occurrence of the shock wave of attack during downswing enemy of "backpack hammer" (???)
The Last Giant now does even less damage to players and Well-Mannered Pate.
The Lost Sinner now has less HP and does less damage.
Royal Rat Authority now has less HP and does less damage
Duke's Dear Freja's laser breath now does less damage.
Enemies around Sinner's Rise now do less damage
Shadow Men in the Flexile Senty's Boss area in NG+ now do less damage
 
Thank god they're nerfing those bulshit mages in Shrine of Amana.

/edit.
Slightly better translation on Reddit.

Welp, I despawned every enemy in the Dragon Aerie. By dying to the boss & going back to him & dying again.
He is the only think left for me in the game.

Is there no way to cheat or cheese this fight?
He gets me with his fire attack one way or another, no matter how careful I am.
