Just played 1h. I hate the frame rate like in bloodborn it doesn't feel 30fps at all. I finished BB loved it though. I find Gfx at least beginning underwhelming. The ds2 remastered felt better with 60fps. Oh well will play more of course
 
MAN do I miss Bloodborne's pebbles for picking apart mobs.
Are throwing daggers any different?
I didn't use them in Dark Souls I or II but after Bloodborne & how useful pebbles were, I felt the need to use something for pulling and throwing daggers seemed to work okay the couple of times I used them.
 
Holy shit, Ald
ritch ate Darksun Gwyndolin!?
That was such a cool moment - I saw the boss' name, heard the music and saw it's head and it all clicked!
 
What's the opinion on boss souls? Use some for leveling or save them all for items? I'm early in the game (just finished my third boss) and wondering what would be the best thing to do. I'm using an average build; started with warrior, have focused on strength/endurance with some dexterity, vitality, and vigor. Thanks!

Anyone? :)
 
All of mobile GAF hates you now. Thanks for the spoiler.

Alright I took it down. I didn't know spoiler tags don't work on the mobile site because I always use the superior desktop version on my phone.

But if spoiler tags don't work aren't you all seeing a ton of spoilers in here anyway? lmao

I just creep slowly forward or fire an arrow :)

It's specifically images and video links. The text spoiler quotes work fine.

Don't fret, a darkly lit
castle
area isn't exactly a surprise in a Souls game.
 
This was on PC.

I might've just done it at a bad time against some laggers or something. Or else their servers are straining from the Soulsian hype. (some bloodstains still done trigger, for instance)

Yeah, it is probably server strain due to launch. I was lagging a bit and the connection would drop when I was trying to summon or invade yesterday night.

doesnt seem to be that difficult of a fight.

My +4 Raw Astora's Straight Sword does pretty good damage. I'm liking the presentation though.
 
i cant get summoned like. ... ever. no matter where i go

im sl 86 could that be it ?

cant even invade anyone because it searches and searches without ever finding anything
 
Goddammit. I'm now at the
Swamp area with the giant enemy crabs
and I'm still unwilling to upgrade weapons because I keep holding out for something good. I just want a Zweihander or something already :D
 
Okay I lied about A

. That
phase two
damage is real haha.

Day One:
17.6 hrs on record



This game is going to end me.

Same here im 16.5 haha. I dont see how people finished this in 24 hours. Im not even half way through.

I should clarify, actually:

(sorta early game spoilers):
You should have found the covenant *item* to be a sunbro but not the place to turn the medals in

Yea I got that thanks!

You can buy one of those post undead settlement I think
 
Btw, does the game automatically go in NG+ when you finish it? Or is it like in DSII and you activate the NG+ yourself?

I would also like to know this. If expansions are planned, I don't want to run into a huge spike in difficultly like the Old Hunters was with a fresh New Game + save.
 
What item do you use to increase the healing powers of the estus flask? I've gotten a few shards to increase charges but don't know what I need to get more healing out of each use
 
Damn, the boss A
ldritch
has some ridiculously annoying attacks. Every time he
(she?) enters the animation to fire arrows I know that I am basically dead, especially in the second phase where the arrow rain is combined with the giant magic ball projectiles.
 
Where in the sun's name can I find the lightning spear miracle?

in farrons keep swamp area there's a ladder that leads somewhere and it's off the path of some broken bridge or something.

I wouldn't bother though, it's completely useless (unless they buffed it recently)
 
[Story Spoilers]

Jesus christ that room in I
hyrill

The paintings of Gwynevere and Nashandra. Smough's Hammer. Ornstein's ring. The Silver Knights.

That was an amazing moment.
 
After Curse-Rotted Greatwood, I don't know where to go. The girl who we have to give the ring is in this map?

I skipped Greatwood initially, he is optional. Explore the sewers.

As for the ring, you are supposed to loot bones in town and give them to the thief in Shrine. You may already have the bones.

I got my Zweilhander and I'm at same area it can be unlocked to buy with a quest line.


Zweilhander with Soliare armour is crazy looking but loving it
 
What's the secret to beating (Late Game Boss)
The Nameless King. When the Dragon jumps in the air and breaths fire on the ground it strikes me twice and completely kills me.
 
Btw, does the game automatically go in NG+ when you finish it? Or is it like in DSII and you activate the NG+ yourself?

Like DS2. You get a choice right after the Credits. (And those Credits are skippable. Booooyah.)

So guys! Anyone of you up for some Vertebrae Shackle farming tomorrow through password?
 
If anyone is finding the limited sword usage frustrating, invest in a rapier. You can actually hack n slash your way through most enemies at least early game. It is very very good.
