how come ive never seen anyone talk about this

Reiterpallasch

weapon? I cant use it because it needs 10 bloodtinge. Scales with Skill and ppl are always looking for skill weapons

The moveset and range just aren't all that great. That's probably why.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Can someone explain me, why I could not ring the bell to call a co-op partner in all my way through the church until

Did anyone else think that the entrance to

Rom's area

was fantastic?

 

[george_us]

I am inclined to state that FromSoft currently has the best level designers in the business.

No question. The level design on display is in a class of its own right now.

 

[Veritigo_X]

That's what I'm talking about. I never hung around long enough to see if you could go all the way upstairs though.

I don't think you can. At least I never found a way and looked around a ton.

My run had the perfect message right at the end: "Those with faith will be spared." Thanks random person, that was a fine note indeed.

 

[Razzorn34]

Fucking witches and their hair cuts, also those dudes carrying the sacks hit like trucks. Easily the most dangerous mobs in any of the souls games. If you get kicked you are done.

Wait till you run into

the spider looking things in the Cainhurst Castle courtyard.

Jesus I know. I switch to Ludwig and do long charge R2 attacks for the sack dudes. I dance away if they get remotely close.

 

[Hystzen]

FROM really need stop with whole dark place and got to drop onto planks thing every game. It not fun or good design it just dull as fuck

 

[Ferrio]

I think From really has a hard time making dexterous weapons not suck ass. Every game the big heavy ones are always better it seems.

 

[Spittyball]

That shortcut from the F

orbidden Woods to the very beginning of the game.

So good!

Dat level design doe.

The Blood-Starved Beast fight with the Ken Theme from Street Fighter IV is a whole different game. Thanks Spotify!

I actually like it haha always feels like a leap of faith.

 

[zewone]

Any tips on finding the path to get around the gate?

It's accessed from a path originating in the Workshop.

 

[todahawk]

Only way I navigated the forest was if there were no enemies that means I must of been there before.

Ha YES!
Hmm, nothing here, no hissing, this area is clean. I should've used a few coins to mark pathways.

I'm assuming coins disappear if you leave the area like the glowstones did in Dark Souls?

I think the cane whip is awesome. It's been my goto weapon all game. I best every boss with it. But I do agree most the other Dex weapons are pretty shit. That's why Ludwig's sword is so great for pretty much everyone.

 

[Kinsei]

Guys?

Go to the door that required a password.

Blades of Mercy are amazing as is the scythe.

But the best weapon in the game is Ludwig's Holy Blade which is diverse enough to be STR or SKL/DEX.

Made even more dull by the fact gravity is nowhere near the enemy it once was.

He is optional from what I've played so you don't really have to beat him on NG+ unless you have an itch for a broken controller

Sadly I have the itch... I also desire the trophy lol.

For anyone that's interested I found an uncanny

Kirkhammer

in Pthumeru chalice dungeon. Glyph viampf7u. First level, second non boss door with a chest on a raised platform surrounded by zombies, a bag man and a Fatman.

my weapon! So, when I do, it temporaly erases my STR and SKL levels and just use ARC?

Lol no. Theyre fun and tense knowing itll be 110% your fault if you flop the drops down.

 

[Razzorn34]

It's been like that every Souls game. Dex builds are just plain tough. Considering the trend, i'd say it's intentional.

 

[Rhaknar]

what is it? like transformation and whatnot

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Bump. I'm having this problem on my NG+ run.

How much harder is NG+???

 

[choclaterra]

Is the game breaking bug in the forest? I'm getting killed by

Spoiler

the shadows of yarnham and their stupid snakes

and I thought I could use a hand but if it will break my game I rather grind.

On another note, I'm level 50, is it alright or am I under-leveled?

 

[Ark]

Nevermind, I was killed by a sack wielding dude in cathedral ward while farming and I'm now in yhar ghuuls unseen village prison thing. I'm fucked, aren't I?

 

[Ikon]

I just got to my first optional area (at least I think it's optional?) after taking getting my letter and taking the carriage ride.

Holy shit this place is awesome! Such a step up from that damned forest. The boss is currently kicking my ass though, but that's about as much as I'd expected. Is he supposed to 2shot you easily though?

 

[Deku Tree]

I think From really has a hard time making dexterous weapons not suck ass. Every game the big heavy ones are always better it seems.

Somewhat disagree. I can repeatedly stun lock most of the enemies in the game with spamming R1 with the Cane if you catch the enemies in the right frame of their animation. It even works on some bosses.

 

[yami4ct]

Can someone answer a question about

Spoiler

Arianna?

Spoiler

Currently I'm in the Forbidden Woods and have cleared cleric beast, Father G, BSB, Vicar Amelia, The Witch of Hemwick, and Paarl. I've sent the old lady to the Cathedral and she's there. I sent the nun when I was imprisoned, but she's not there yet. I haven't even encountered Arianna yet from what I can recall. I purchased the key for the gates as well. I've tried the NPC window that apparently has her and it's just some random guy at this point. Am I missing something?

Bump. I'm having this problem on my NG+ run.

Spoiler

She's not at a window, she's at a door. There's also a point in the game where every interact spot in the area is the same guy. He'll give you an item. After that, just warp into the Hunter's Dream and back and they'll return to normal.

 

[Moofers]

I can't get co-op summons to work at all. Every time it just takes 1 insight from me and then nothing happens. It looks like its trying for about 3 or 4 minutes and then its just done and I'm out 1 insight.

Is this a bug?

 

[Dresden]

Arcane all the waaaaaay.

What's the damage like with high arcane? At 30 arcane/+10 and with a decent Arcane gem (plus the +15% atk gem) I'm barely scraping past 400 atk. And in use it just doesn't hit hard even if I shift elements around.

 

[SeanTSC]

I think From really has a hard time making dexterous weapons not suck ass. Every game the big heavy ones are always better it seems.

I can't disagree more. The Skill weapons in this game are fantastic. I haven't played with the Rapier much, but Chikage, Blade of Mercy, and Threaded Cane are all great.

 

[Aztechnology]

what is it? like transformation and whatnot

No not at all

Spoiler

Your guy just whips the sword causing the pistol to come out. Then your R2 switches to a pistol shot instead of an attack. Which is idiotic because Evelyn is better

Edit: almost all the guns are better imo.

That's about where I was. I used coop in that section just fine.

Are you using suspend/resume? There seems to be a bug with that.

 

[Ferrio]

I'm liking the Chikage, and it's certainly not bad... but I can't help think it would be way easier if I was lugging around a Ludgwig on a Str build.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Anybody else fucked around with the

pebble storage box glitch/exploit?

Nah, don't want ruin the game, however I might start a separate file and use it before it's patched and keep it kicking around in case I miss some awkward trophies or something.

It's 30 seconds of it haha. That part was fun.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Spoiler

it's a rapier that transforms into a pistol. So you could essentially have dual pistols.

Kinda pointless but at least it looks cool.

There's a lamp exit not too far from where you are. Just up a couple flights of stairs and past a couple enemies.

You've gotten to my favorite farm spot so far in the game if you can pull it off. Those bag dudes drop a good amount of souls as well as Twin Blood Shards.

 

[Allonym]

I've read that the "Contact" Gesture is in the Upper Cathedral Ward affixed to a statue? However I haven't been able to find it... could someone point me in the right direction. Also assume that I'm coming from the Cathedral Ward Lamp. Thanks

I read somewhere that suspend resume messes the coop, not sure if it's true. Quit completely the game and try again. Also, settings to worldwide and no password.

Sounds like somebody just died dropping onto planks in a dark place.
