Introduce them to Dark Souls. Take turns after each death.

Another question (general game question, beginner):

Spoiler

What's up with NPCs disappearing after you say you'll help them? Do they move to another area like in previous souls games? So far, I helped the dude in the cell and found Loretta's Bone, but he's not in the cell anymore. The pilgrim also said he'd serve me, and I said I'd get secret spells for the Sorcerer, but no idea what to do next to advance. Will I just run into them later a-la previous Souls games?

Both consoles offer remote play now. If you have a pc, do that!

 

[Tenebrous]

Backup your save file folks , game does not support steam cloud.

Thanks for that... But damnit, why no cloud?!

 

[Stiler]

Anyone else getting lots of crashes? Seems to be connected to the bonfires, like I play fine when not near them, but when I get to a bonfire the game will crash within like a minute or so of it.

 

[robotzombie]

The auto hide HUD is such a great feature. Makes taking spur of the moment SS so much easier.

What sword is that?

Having major problems summoning friends with the password system. Very disappointed, I figured by the 5th souls game I wouldn't have to wait up to 20 mins just to play with one friend. Might as well make a proper invite system.

 

[80s Bad Guy]

Thread is moving fast, but I'm a few hours in and loving it so far.

I turned off blood to see if it would help performance, and I think I like the game better without blood. Fits the theme of these being ash creatures. Didn't really help performance though, lol.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Yooooo this game is a straight up merging of Demon/Dark/Bloodborne... from the gameplay to the enemies and levels.

I think I'm in love

Don't give up, skeleton

R1 spam from Straightsword users... the struggle is real

My invasion build: Mildred - Level 18

Spoiler

Main weapon: Butchers Knife
Grass Crest shield
Thrall Mask
Worker Garb
Conjurator Manchettes
Worker Trousers

Chloranthy Ring - faster stamina regen
Estus Ring - more HP from Estus
Knight Slayers Ring - enemies lose more stamina when blocking attacks
Left Eye Ring - successive attacks restore HP

I got the idea from a reddit post and it's so fun, I lose almost as much as I win as my gear and weapon are only +2 but it's soo fun!

 

[BennyBlanco]

What sword is that?

executioner's greatsword

Just tell him/her/them to put their stamp in another spot, outside of the beaten path and not directly in front of the fog gate. I wouldn't bother with password summoning.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Which is the best DEX weapon that can be found early in the game? I'm using the scimitar but i don't want to upgrade it without knowing if it's a good choice...

 

[MotionBlue]

Poison swamp continues to be the worst part of the franchise. Yay cheap deaths. yay getting lost for an hour!

 

[Iorv3th]

If someone here is playing as Captain Lucario and just helped me in undead settlement thanks. Your death was not in vain.

Uchigatana is right outside Firelink.

Uchigatana will be the top choice for most DEX players early on.

Time for that g-sync monitor purchase.

I could take The PC to our room and hook it up to that TV, but moving that full tower and unhooking everything is not something I want to do.

But I just might for Dark Souls...

Is anyone else having problems with the TouchPad inputs on ps4 or is my DS4 failing?

I stunned him out of his animation, his aoe still went off, and I just walked through it multiple times, taking no hits

I mean, I'll take it, and I won easily anyways, BUT STILL

DS3 is so good I think I'll have to play DS2 afterwards at some point when it's next on sale.

I see signs all over the place, but I found a couple quite spots and we did try this and got nothing sadly. We've only been able to summon each other twice so far in the last two hours.

You could also hook up a laptop to your 2nd tv and use steam link.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Oh no, I think I fucked up with the Shrine Maiden that sells things.

Gave her the Dreamers Ashes but didn't tell her where I got them from because

Spoiler

she was sounding ultra dodgy when asking...

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Uchigatana is right outside Firelink.

Where exactly? Please, don't tell me it's a drop from the guy with the katana.. he fell off a cliff...

 

[BennyBlanco]

It's a drop from the guy with the katana. Maybe it'll be sitting there where he fell if you reload like in DaS1.

 

[K' Dash]

I'll try that right now.

Edit: I thought that was software based.

 

[super-famicom]

Exit the game, reload. It should be on the ground where she originally stood.

All drops work this way if an enemy falls into the void.

Just quit and reload, his stuff should spawn on the stairs.

Spoiler

so, I gave a glance around Firelink just now and one of my people is dead, the humpback sorceror dude in the right side back corner, and the one that's been telling me what to do is MIA entirely

Also, I missed the part where

NPC players in this game are no joke in this game, and when you get 2 of them against you, it feels like GG.

Make sure to set their summon sign visibility option to 'unrestricted'. Looks like that's in the settings now. It used to be automatic and not an option :/
